Salt stress is a key environmental factor altering rice plant growth. Strigolactones (GR24) play a vital role in responding to various abiotic stresses and regulating plant growth. However, the regulatory mechanisms of SLs on rice seedlings under sal...

The mechanization of agricultural work has contributed significantly to the improvement of agricultural productivity and reduced production costs [...]

Fire, a prevalent land management tool in rotational shifting cultivation (RSC), has long been debated for its immediate disruption of surface soil, vegetation, and microbial communities. While low-intensity and short-duration slash-and-burn techniqu...

Conservation tillage is believed to promote soil aggregate stability, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) sequestration, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, soil samples from an 18-year experiment including conventional tillage with...

The multi-degree-of-freedom characteristics of the planetary gear electronic continuously variable transmission (ECVT) configuration in series-parallel hybrid tractors impose more complex requirements for energy management strategies under variable l...

Sustainable crop production requires an innovative approach due to increasing soil salinisation and decreasing freshwater availability. One promising strategy is the domestication of naturally salt-tolerant plant species with commercial potential. Sa...

Real-time automatic detection of microcracks in eggs is crucial for ensuring egg quality and safety, yet rapid detection of micron-scale cracks remains challenging. This study introduces a real-time ConvNext-Based U-Net model with Feature Infusion (C...

Sheep farming is an important branch of the animal husbandry sector in Europe. In 2023, Romania’s sheep and goat herds ranked third in the European Union, with more than 10 million heads, contributing substantially to the production of meat, tr...

In the context of global rural decline, fostering endogenous momentum through rural transformation to increase farmers’ incomes is a challenge that nations worldwide must address. This study utilizes the 2022 “China Rural Micro-Economic D...

Lactic acid content is a crucial indicator for evaluating maize silage quality, and its accurate detection is essential for ensuring product quality. In this study, a quantitative prediction model for the change of lactic acid content during the seco...
