Recent research on the application of remote sensing and deep learning-based analysis in precision agriculture demonstrated a potential for improved crop management reduced environmental impacts agricultural production. Despite promising results, practical relevance these technologies field deployment requires novel algorithms that are customized images robust to implementation natural imagery....

One of the most significant risks impacting crops is pests, which substantially decrease food production. Further, prompt and precise recognition pests can help harvesters save damage enhance quality by enabling them to take appropriate preventive action. The apparent resemblance between numerous kinds makes examination laborious takes time. limitations physical pest inspection are required be ...

Hummingbirds have received considerable attention in studies of feeding and energy regulation because of their small size, frequent feeding, and their use of energy-rich sugar solutions (e.g. Diamond et al. 1986, Ewald and Carpenter 1978, Hainsworth 1981). They store nectar in a crop, and this internal reservoir supplies energy between foraging bouts (Hainsworth and Wolf 1972, Karasov et al. 19...

Detection of GMO material in crop and food samples is the primary step in GMO monitoring and regulation, with the increasing number of GM events in the world market requiring detection solutions with high multiplexing capacity. In this study, we test the suitability of a high-density oligonucleotide microarray platform for direct, quantitative detection of GMOs found in the Turkish feed market....

Timely crop disease detection, pathogen identification, and infestation severity assessments can aid prevention control efforts to mitigate crop-yield decline. However, improved monitoring methods are needed that extract high-resolution, accurate, rich color spatial features from leaf spots in the field achieve precise fine-grained disease-severity classification sensitive disease-recognition a...

Sugarcane is one of the most important crops in India. Indian sugar industry is the second largest agro based industry, next only to the textiles. But, being a long durational crop, sugarcane is prone to the number of disease caused by pathogens viz. fungi, bacteria, viruses and phytoplasmas like organisms. Image processing techniques have been proved to be changing the scenario of agriculture ...

Pear decline is a very important phytoplasma disease that causes considerable quantitative and qualitative losses to this fruit crop. Due to economical importance of pear in Isfahan province, Iran, and the difficulty to determine the occurrence of the disease simply based on symptoms in orchards, a detection method for the phytoplasma causing disease in pears in the region was developed. Since ...
