Citrus pests and diseases severely impact fruit yield and quality. However, existing object detection models face limitations in complex backgrounds, target occlusion, and small target recognition, and they struggle to be efficiently deployed on reso...

The root parasitic weed Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) Pomel poses a serious threat to solanaceous crops, leading to yield losses of up to 80% in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Strigolactones (SLs), derived from the carotenoid metabolic pathway, s...

Occasional mechanical intervention can help alleviate compaction symptoms in no-till systems, but its effects compared to well-established crop rotation systems are uncertain. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mechanical and...

Lodging imposes substantial constraints on maize yield potential and agronomic efficiency, critically undermining productivity and resource optimization in cultivation systems. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism whereby ethephon enhances lod...

The biodegradation of glyphosate by bacteria is an emerging bioremediation strategy necessitated by the intensive use of this herbicide in global agriculture. This study systematically reviews the literature to identify bacteria with the potential to...

One of the world’s most important economic crops, apples face numerous disease threats during their production process, posing significant challenges to orchard management and yield quality. To address the impact of complex disease characterist...

Earthworms are highly active in Southeast Asian paddy fields, yet their activity is challenging to measure in flooded soils. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of the subaquatic earthworm Glyphidrilus papillatus (Michaelsen, 1896) on so...

Callus induction is one of the most important techniques in plant-based industries. Important features in the use of callus induction are the maintenance of pluripotency and the proliferation of cells. Although the importance of callus induction is a...

The application of digestate as a fertilizer offers a promising alternative to synthetic inputs on permanent grasslands, with benefits for productivity and environmental performance. This four-year study evaluated the impact of two digestate applicat...

A deep learning-based tree pruning evaluation system is proposed in this study, which integrates hyperspectral images, sensor data, and expert system rules. The system aims to enhance the accuracy and robustness of tree pruning tasks through multimod...
