Response of Photosynthetic Pigments and Yield of Pinto Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to Weed Management Methods [PDF]
IntroductionBean is one of the most important legumes worldwide for direct human consumption and it is a rich source of protein and carbohydrates. Bean is weak in competing with weeds due to its slow growth during the early stages. Therefore, competition

Classification of Crop Tolerance to Heat and Drought: A Deep Convolutional Neural Networks Approach [PDF]
Environmental stresses such as drought and heat can cause substantial yield loss in agriculture. As such, hybrid crops that are tolerant to drought and heat stress would produce more consistent yields compared to the hybrids that are not tolerant to these stresses.

Phenotypic variability in Italian rice germplasm [PDF]
Plant breeding is one of the key strategies for further enhancement of crop yields; however, effective breeding strategies require phenotypic characterisation of the available germplasm. This study sought to characterise the phenotypic expression of fourteen crop traits related to phenology, plant architecture, and yield in a panel of 40 cultivars ...

Evaluating Plant Disease Detection Mobile Applications: Quality and Limitations [PDF]
In this technologically advanced era, with the proliferation of artificial intelligence, many mobile apps are available for plant disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment, each with a variety of features. These apps need to be categorized and reviewed following a proper framework that ensures their quality.

Guidelines for Purchase and Application of Poultry Manure for Organic Crop Production
Poultry manure and poultry litter (manure with bedding) is commonly used as a soil amendment and nutrient source for organic crop production. However, unless a farmer has an on-farm poultry facility, manure must be outsourced and delivered to the farm ...
