Coffee is a global commodity, with Brazil being a major producer, particularly in the Minas Gerais state. This study applied machine learning to predict the Arabica coffee yield in the region, analyzing two groups of cultivars (G1 and G2) using data...

This study investigates Miscanthus biochar’s potential to reduce ammonia (NH3) emissions in poultry production. Biochar from lignocellulosic biomass has proven a versatile tool in environmental remediation for water, soil, and air quality appli...

Deep learning-based methods have proven to be effective for various purposes in the agricultural sector. However, these methods require large amounts of labelled data, which are difficult to prepare and preprocess. To overcome this problem, we propos...

Excimer fluorescent ultraviolet (UV) lamps (UV–228) function as mercury–free sources that use excimer emissions as excitation light sources. First, we evaluated the effects of UV–228–based irradiation (λmax = 228 nm) on...

The Eurasian grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most extensively cultivated horticultural crop worldwide, with significant economic relevance, particularly in wine production. Accurate grapevine variety identification is essential for ensuri...

In precision agriculture (PA), monitoring individual plant health is crucial for optimizing yields and minimizing resources. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), a widely used health indicator, typically relies on expensive multispectra...

Sugarcane mechanized harvesting generates large volumes of data that are used to monitor harvesters’ functionalities. The dynamic interaction of the machine-onboard instrumentation–crop system introduces discrepant and noisy values into t...

Closed hydroponics is an environmentally friendly and economical method for growing crops by circulating a nutrient solution while measuring and supplementing various ions contained in the solution. However, conventional monitoring systems in hydropo...

The design and technological scheme of a small-sized forage harvester with a capture width of 1.35 m equipped with a device oriented along the length of the stems was developed in this study. As a result of theoretical studies, the process of the mov...

The use of summarized spectral data in bands obtained by hyperspectral sensors can make it possible to obtain biochemical information about seeds and, thus, relate the results to seed viability and vigor. Thus, the hypothesis of this work is based on...
