China is the world’s largest producer of chili peppers, which occupy particularly important economic and social values in various fields such as medicine, food, and industry. However, during its production process, chili peppers are affected by...

This study presents the development of a system based on convolutional neural networks for the automated detection and counting of Gossypium barbadense fruits, specifically the IPA cotton variety, during its maturation stage, known as “mota&rdq...

This study presents a remote sensing (RS) approach for monitoring invasive aquatic species and assessing their impact on water quality in the Lis Valley Irrigation District (LVID), Portugal. Using high-resolution PlanetScope imagery (3.7 m resolution...

The characterization of soil attribute variability often requires dense sampling grids, which can be economically unfeasible. A possible solution is to perform targeted sampling based on previously collected data. The objective of this research was t...

This study presents a system framework by which cloud resources are utilized to analyze crop germination status in a 2U CubeSat. This research aims to address the onboard computing constraints in nanosatellite missions to boost space agricultural pra...

To address the inefficiency and high cost of manual potato pickup in segmented harvesting, a dual-disc potato pickup and harvesting device was designed. The device utilizes counter-rotating dual discs to gather and preliminarily lift the potato&ndash...

This study employs RGB imagery and machine learning techniques to detect Tagosodes orizicolus infestations in “Tinajones” rice crops during the flowering stage, a critical challenge for agriculture in northern Peru. High-resolution images...

Sunflower press cake (SPC), a by-product of the edible oil industry, represents a promising source of plant-based protein. This study aimed to investigate and optimize protein recovery from SPC using conventional (CE) and advanced extraction techniqu...

Precision agriculture and advanced sowing technologies, including variable sowing rates, can be used to optimise sunflower yields by ensuring a uniform plant distribution, efficient resource utilisation, and adaptation to soil variability. These agro...

While conventional sericulture has developed effective disinfection methods, the increasing demand for silk and pupae is driving mechanization, potentially altering or introducing silkworm pathogens. New disinfection strategies are essential for sust...
