Abstract Many pests and diseases affect agricultural and commercial crops, resulting in potential yield losses. It has been shown that microbial biocontrol agents, such as Bacillus species, are efficient alternatives to ...

Precision agriculture plays a crucial role in sustainable food production and resource-efficient land management. A key component of precision agriculture is the semantic segmentation of crops and weeds that enables auto...

Ecological security (ES) is a crucial indicator of regional ecosystem health and integrity, serving as a fundamental basis for formulating sustainable ecological management strategies, particularly in ecologically fragil...

Biotic and abiotic stresses reduce crop yields, yet existing image‑based diagnostic models are often crop‑specific, computationally intensive, and poorly interpretable. This study present: (i) a multi-crop diagnostic...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple crop feeding over half of the global population, especially in Asia where it contributes 90% of global production. Weed infestation remains a critical constraint in rice ecosystems, sig...

This research develops a water-centric nexus assessment framework for Thailand's major crops: rice, sugarcane, and cassava, within shared cultivation areas. The framework examines interaction among water use, agricultura...

In this research, we address a critical problem for strawberry growers in Lima: the management of phytosanitary diseases. Traditionally, these farmers relied on time-consuming, imprecise, and error-prone visual observati...

Abstract Agroecological transitions face a dual imperative: reducing pesticide reliance and minimising soil disturbance for climate mitigation. However, the blanket promotion of no-till practices may hinder ecological in...

The limited availability of herbicides for weed management, coupled with the rapid expansion of herbicide-resistant weed populations, has intensified the need to explore alternative weed management strategies, particular...

ABSTRACT Adopting conservationist soil use and management practices, such as the no-tillage system and cover crops associated with organic agriculture, can improve the quality of fragile soils. This study aimed to evalua...

Abstract Potato crops in Bangladesh are significantly threatened by viral diseases, underscoring the need for comprehensive virome profiling to inform sustainable management strategies. In this study, we employed high-th...

IntroductionEffective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) is a key indicator of soil fertility and sustainable soil management assessment in coffee-growing systems.MethodsThis study aimed to identify the principal edaphic an...

Abstract Climate change is driving increased incidence and severity of Phytophthora diseases in Tanzanian vegetable production systems, threatening food security and smallholder livelihoods. Field assessments were conduc...

Abstract Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are a globally important high-value crop produced for fresh consumption, wine, and processed derivatives. Growing pressure from labor shortages, climate variability, and sustainability de...

Abstract Acquired immunity in plants, including systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and induced systemic resistance (ISR), plays a central role in protecting crops against a wide spectrum of pathogens and pests, ranging f...

Abstract Background Accurate and timely estimation of nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) is critical for assessing crop nitrogen (N) status and implementing precision N management. While machine learning (ML) techniques comb...

Agricultural production necessitates sustainable practices to ensure long-term and sustained food security. Water is a key ingredient for food production. Ensuring sustainable water management in agriculture is thus esse...

Abstract Agricultural management is critical in shaping soil carbon (C) stocks, pools and fluxes. The soil priming effect (PE) is known as a key component of the global C cycle that reflects alterations in soil organic c...

Abstract Background Rapid and accurate pest diagnosis is essential for reducing crop losses and improving agricultural productivity. Most existing methods rely on deep learning-based object detection to classify pests in...

Brassica oilseeds are important protein crops for Nordic agriculture. Oilseed production is challenged by multiple insect pests, most importantly the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus). Concerns about pyrethroid resis...

Abstract Agricultural soils serve as an important frontier in the global efforts to sequester carbon (C), providing scalable opportunities to address climate change through improved land management. However, the C seques...

Agriculture in Iran operates under acute water scarcity, climate stress, and reliance on input-intensive practices that amplify environmental pressures. This study presents the first long-term, spatially explicit life cy...

Modern agricultural systems face increasing uncertainties, rare risks, and complex dynamics that make traditional decision-making ineffective. This research presents an innovative digital twin–based framework for proac...

Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important staple food in sub–Saharan Africa. Over 60% of the global cassava production occurs in Africa, with the southern African region contributing approximately 15% to thi...
