Preserving ecosystem services, such as natural enemies that can provide pest control, positively impact crops without compromising agricultural yield. Even though controlling pests by has been suggested to reduce in agriculture, growers continue using conventional pesticides kill beneficial predators. Here we studied whether the predation of avian and insect-beneficial predators varies an apple...

A Tylenchulus sp. found in a Georgia peach orchard parasitized peach roots in the greenhouse. Citrus roots were not parasitized, indicating that the nematode was not the citrus nematode. Morphologically similar populations were found in one peach orchard in Alabama, two orchards in Arkansas, and one in South Carolina. Males were present in the Alabama populations and one of the Arkansas populat...

BACKGROUND Agricultural insecticides are believed to play a role in global pollinator decline. In mass-flowering orchard crops, recommendations reduce exposure of pollinators include spraying at periods when bees aren't foraging, such as dusk and dawn outside crop flowering times. However, the presence weeds within orchards mean may still be found foraging throughout growing season, increasing ...

The detection of apple yield in complex orchards plays an important role smart agriculture. Due to the large number fruit trees orchard, improving speed has become one challenges detection. Additional apples orchard environments are vision obstruction by leaves, branches and other fruit, uneven illumination. YOLOv5 (You Only Look Once version 5) network structure thus far been increasingly util...

Agriculture is critical for human welfare, providing food, employment, income, and assets. In the past, agricultural research and development largely focused on improving production, productivity, and profitability of agricultural enterprises. Nutrition and other benefits of agriculture were not always optimized, while the negative impacts on health, well-being, and the environment were often i...
