To elucidate how exogenous regulators mitigate the impact of mechanical leaf damage on maize, field experiments were conducted on two sowing dates (S1, S2) using two cultivars (XY335, ZD958). Severe leaf damage at the six-leaf stage significantly red...

Soil contamination in industrial areas often involves complex mixtures of contaminants, making remediation a significant challenge. Microbe-assisted phytoremediation offers a promising solution, yet its success depends on understanding interaction be...

The PLATZ gene family influences plant growth, development, and responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses. Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), an important oilseed and fiber crop, has not been extensively studied for its PLATZ genes. In this study, 27...

Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a key variable in modeling plant growth because it is the site of photosynthesis. However, there are significant differences in LAI between different models and between models and satellite-derived estimates. Empirical studie...

The low fertility of tropical Oxisols challenges sustainable agriculture. While biochar-based granular fertilizers (BBGFs) offer a solution, the influence of different organic binders is unclear. This study investigated how BBGFs formulated with bio-...

The production of facility vegetables is of great significance but there are still limitations to this production in terms of yield and quality. Optical sensing technology offers a rapid and non-destructive solution for phenotypic analysis, which is...

Accurate estimation of tractor performance under various soil conditions is essential for enhancing operational efficiency in precision agriculture. This study developed machine learning models to estimate tractor performance based on key soil physic...

Long-term maize (Zea mays L.) intercropping with peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) (M||P) improves soil aggregate stability and phosphorus (P) availability, sustaining farmland productivity. In contrast, co-ridge planting (R-M||P) further enhances yield....

Strawberry detection in complex orchard environments remains a challenging task due to frequent leaf occlusion, fruit overlap, and illumination variability. To address these challenges, this study presents an improved lightweight detection framework,...

Accurate detection and counting of rice ears serve as a critical indicator for yield estimation, but the complex conditions of paddy fields limit the efficiency and precision of traditional sampling methods. We propose REU-YOLO, a model specifically...
