Over recent decades, human activities have essentially depended on fossil fuels. The last Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports recommend a shift to renewables and a more energy-efficient economy. To fulfill the potential of bioenergy, to...

The study of honey in Iasi County reveals its ecological, economic and health importance, emphasizing its unique properties, role in biodiversity and value in promoting sustainable beekeeping and regional identity. This study aimed to investigate the...

The intelligent transformation of crop leaf disease detection has driven the use of deep neural network algorithms to develop more accurate disease detection models. In resource-constrained environments, the deployment of crop leaf disease detection...

Accurately monitoring soil moisture content (SMC) in the field is crucial for achieving precision irrigation management. Currently, the development of UAV platforms provides a cost-effective method for large-scale SMC monitoring. This study investiga...

After existing ultra-deep vertical rotary tillers work in sugarcane stubble fields, the stubble chopping performance is poor, and the reason for this is unknown. To solve this, this paper develops a simulation model of ultra-deep vertical rotary till...

Protected crops are intensive production systems characterized by high vegetation density, high temperatures, and high moisture, making them favorable environments for the development of pests and diseases. Consequently, these systems often require s...

To solve the problems of high tillage resistance and the rapid wear of the rotary blade during tillage, this study employed a coupled algorithm of the discrete element method (DEM) and multi-body dynamics (MBD) with Hertz–Mindlin with JKR parti...

To address the limitations of the current discrete element model of rice plants in terms of accurately reflecting structural differences and threshing characteristics, this study proposes a whole-rice-plant modeling method based on segmented hollow s...

This study investigates the dynamic changes in wheat canopy spectral characteristics across seven critical growth stages (Tillering, Pre-Jointing, Jointing, Post-Jointing, Booting, Flowering, and Ripening) using UAV-based multispectral remote sensing...

Crop yields are influenced by various factors, including seed quality and environmental conditions. Detecting seed vigor is a critical task for seed researchers, as it plays a vital role in seed quality assessment. Traditionally, this evaluation was...
