This study explores the feasibility of an automated sensor system for precise plant protection product application in plum orchards, aiming to address issues related to inefficient spraying practices, environmental pollution, and reduced crop quality...
Sustainable farming practices (SFPs) are often touted as vehicles for improving crop productivity and the livelihoods of many rural households. However, SFP’s adoption rates remain persistently low, especially among smallholder farmers in many...
Small-sized dairy farms (SSDFs) are integral to the agricultural landscape, providing economic, social, and environmental benefits to rural communities. However, they face growing challenges, including market volatility, rising production costs, labo...
The history of weeds is closely intertwined with the development of agriculture. As early farmers began to select crops, weeds emerged as formidable competitors, evolving alongside them in a continuous struggle for survival. Over the past 23,000 year...
The impact of different agronomic practices on pea adaptability to terminal drought conditions can provide increased knowledge on optimizing pea yield, biomass, and environmental footprints. Two field experiments in the layout of the split–spli...
The drying of insects is an important step in their processing. This research aimed to investigate the impact of a pulsed electric field (PEF), immersion in ethanol (EtOH), and combined (immersion in EtOH followed by PEF) treatment on the convective...
Rice is a staple food in Asia, and its impact on the environment is considerable, such as chemical input concerns. Organic rice farming represents an alternative approach to reducing environmental concerns throughout rice production. However, the pre...
Soil nutrient buildup is a key process in nutrient-poor arid and semiarid regions. However, our knowledge of the factors that control soil nutrient buildup in these systems is still limited. An experiment was set up and carried out for five and a hal...
The quality of silkworm cocoons affects the quality and cost of silk processing. It is necessary to sort silkworm cocoons prior to silk production. Cocoon images consist of fine-grained images with large intra-class differences and small inter-class...
Soil moisture is one of the main factors influencing evapotranspiration (ET) under soil water stress conditions. The TSEBSM model used soil moisture to constrain soil evaporation. However, the transpiration schemes constrained by soil moisture requir...
