An Enhanced and Lightweight YOLOv8-Based Model for Accurate Rice Pest Detection
Accurate pest identification is crucial for ensuring both high quality and high yield in rice production. This paper proposes RicePest-YOLO, a practical and generalizable model designed for agricultural pest detection, based on structural optimization ...

Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms of Resistance in Chilo suppressalis
The rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is one of the major pests in rice-growing areas. Its larvae feed on rice stems, causing symptoms of rice dead sheaths, dead hearts, and withered ears, resulting in heavy rice ...

An Approach to the Integrated Control of Rice Pests
水稲害虫の総合防除の第1段階として,クモ類などの天敵類に影響の少ない,殺虫剤を用い散布回数と散布濃度の両面から,散布量を減少させる試みを行なった。1) 1969年にはニカメイガ防除剤としてBHC剤から有機燐剤(MEP,ダイアジノン剤)への移行の試みを行なった。その結果,有機燐剤の方がニカメイガに対する防除効果が高く,収量も慣行防除田よりは,増収が期待できることが実証された。2) 1970年にはクモ類に影響の少ない殺虫剤を用い,慣行より1∼2回少ない散布回数による防除を試みた。その結果,クモ類に影響の少ない薬剤の方がウンカ・ヨコバイ類に対する防除効果は高く,慣行より1∼2回防除回数を減らしても収量は慣行よりも高いことが実証された。3) 1971年にはクモ類に影響の少ない薬剤を,慣行より1 ...

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Controlling sap-sucking insect pests with recombinant endophytes expressing plant lectin [PDF]
We developed a novel pest management strategy, which uses endophytes to express anti-pest plant lectins. Fungal endophyte of Chaetomium globosum YY-11 with anti-fungi activities was isolated from rape seedlings, and bacterial endophytes of SJ-10 ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).
