Scheduling agricultural machinery across multiple cooperatives is often inefficient because existing rigid, discrete assignment models fail to flexibly coordinate shared resources under tight time windows. To address this limitation, we develop a sim...

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has emerged as a rapid, cost-effective, and reliable alternative to traditional methods, enabling real-time, indirect monitoring of nutrients. Most reviews have discussed visible-near-infrared (Vis-NIR) and mid-infrared (MI...

Our work develops the structural mathematical framework of the REGENerative Agriculture (REGENA) Production Function, contributing to the limited global literature of regenerative farming production functions with consistency to the 2nd Law of Thermo...

Overuse of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers has increased concerns regarding environmental and human health. Indian natural farming practices, which are mainly based on different bioformulations, provide sustainable alternatives to conventional f...

Mango is the second most widely cultivated tropical fruit in the world. Its harvesting mainly relies on manual labor. During the harvest season, the hot weather leads to low working efficiency and high labor costs. Current research on automatic mango...

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused mainly by the Fusarium graminearum species complex, is a devastating cereal disease associated with yield losses and mycotoxin contamination. Early infection is closely linked to spore germination and germ tube elon...

Soil fertility assessment is fundamental for improving agricultural productivity and promoting sustainable land management. This study proposes an integrated methodological framework that combines Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, spatial analysis techni...

As the fundamental operational units of agricultural production, farmers make production decisions based on the principle of household income maximization. This study draws on data from a micro-level survey of rice farmers conducted in Jiangxi Provin...

Three organic soil amendments of different origins (chicken manure, fungal biomass obtained through biological fermentation, and a leonardite-based humic acid product) were applied to young chestnut trees, alongside mineral fertilizer, which when app...

The article analyses the direction and intensity of changes occurring in agriculture in mountain areas in Europe between 2000 and 2022. For the calculations, the ESA CCI Land Cover global land-use map set was used. This dataset was established by the...
