The dichotomy of striking a balance between sustainable food crop production for the skyrocketing human population and ensuring agricultural practices that mitigate environmental degradation has prompted much research into sustainable crop production...

Pigments in plants not only determine their visual characteristics but also play crucial roles in photosynthesis, pollinator attraction, and disease resistance. The diverse colors of chili peppers arise from various pigments. However, detailed report...

Guava fruit is susceptible to decay, leading to losses in storability and quality. ε-Poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) is a safe antimicrobial polypeptide that has proven to be effective in preserving produce’s quality. In the present resear...

Apple juice processing by-product (apple pomace), considered as waste that generates important pollution problems, is also a rich source of bioactive compounds, including minerals, dietary fibers, phenolic compounds, and vitamins. The recovery and re...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two-year storage of varietal honeys (buckwheat, linden, rapeseed, honeydew, and multifloral) at various temperatures (4 °C, −18 °C, −40 °C, and −80 °C) on the content of 5-h...

This study aims to evaluate the nutrient status in the leaves of patchouli grown in Inceptisols soil in Aceh, Indonesia. The experiment utilized a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The study’s factor was applying fertilizer...

Lime application is an effective measure for improving rice yield and alleviating soil acidity, whereas its long-term effects on the sequestration and stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) remain unclear in paddy fields. Here, we report on the first...

Agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) is vital to sustainable agricultural development (SAD), which plays a pivotal role in achieving high-quality economic growth in China. The current research quantified China’s AGTFP from 2007...

This study investigates the recovery of bioactive polyphenolic compounds from the pomace of two white winemaking grape varieties, Moschofilero and Rhoditis. The pomace was subjected to two drying techniques: air drying (AD) and solar drying (SD). Ext...

To achieve unmanned line switching operations for a track-type mower in orchards, an automatic line switching decision model based on machine vision has been designed. This model optimizes the structure of the DeepLabV3+ semantic segmentation model,...
