Development of a Weeding Agrobot Prototype for Inter-row and Intra-row WeedingDevelopment of a Weeding Agrobot Prototype for Inter-row and Intra-row Weeding

Agricultural Science Digest - A Research Journal
Background: India faces a critical shortage of farm labour. Out of basic farming operations, weeding operations are not fully mechanized in India. Traditional weed control methods are tedious, labour-intensive and costly. Methods: The objective of this study was to develop a prototype of an autonomous weeder for inter and intra-row weeding.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Exploring eco‐evolutionary and temporal patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities colonizing Sorghum bicolor across sites of contrasting land use history and climate

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum bicolor is a globally important cereal crop with annual yields exceeding 50 million tons across more than 100 countries and can be grown on marginal lands where conventional agriculture is limited. We examined how eight genetically diverse sorghum genotypes shaped arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community assembly across two contrasting ...

Mechanical weed control on small-size dry bean and its response to cross-flaming

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2016
Dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) can be a profitable crop for farmers; however controlling weeds effectively without a decrease in yield remains a problem.

Learning Semantic Graphics Using Convolutional Encoder–Decoder Network for Autonomous Weeding in Paddy

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Weeds in agricultural farms are aggressive growers which compete for nutrition and other resources with the crop and reduce production. The increasing use of chemicals to control them has inadvertent consequences to the human health and the environment ...

Navigating Resource Tensions During Diversification in Ecosystems: Strategic Leadership Across Organizational Levels

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem diversification extends joint value creation by developing new interdependencies between ecosystem actors while redeploying partners and their resources. Such diversification simultaneously generates tensions over ecosystem resources not controlled by the focal firm.

Indirect Crop Line Detection in Precision Mechanical Weeding Using AI: A Comparative Analysis of Different Approaches

Engineering Proceedings
Growing interest in organic food, along with European regulations limiting chemical usage, and the declining effectiveness of herbicides due to weed resistance, are all contributing to the growing trend towards mechanical weeding.

The Ecology of Human Sleep (EcoSleep) Cohort Study: Protocol for a longitudinal repeated measurement burst design study to assess the relationship between sleep determinants and outcomes under real‐world conditions across time of year

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary The interplay of daily life factors, including mood, physical activity, or light exposure, influences sleep architecture and quality. Laboratory‐based studies often isolate these determinants to establish causality, thereby sacrificing ecological validity.

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.
