Detection and variable spraying of maize and weeds in residue covered fields via occlusion-aware modeling

open access: yesArtificial Intelligence in Agriculture
Straw mulching is an important practice in conservation tillage. Although it improves soil quality and moisture retention, it also creates strong occlusion between crops and weeds, which reduces the recognition accuracy of vision systems and limits the ...

Decoupling Thermodynamic and Kinetic Moisture Instability Reveals a Critical Humidity Threshold for Sodium Thiophosphate Solid Electrolyte

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A quantitative exposure‐heat treatment framework identifies a critical humidity threshold (15%RH) and heat treatment temperature (80°C) that governs the recoverability of air‐exposed Na3PS4, revealing the decoupled thermodynamic and kinetic contributions to its moisture stability.

Soil loss by tillage erosion: The effects of tillage implement, slope gradient, and tillage direction on soil translocation by tillage

open access: yes, 1992
The general objective of this study was to examine the processes of tillage translocation and tillage erosion in greater depth. The specific objective was to determine the effect of tillage implement type on the magnitude of soil translocation and net downslope soil translocation by tillage under a range of slope gradients within a typical upland ...

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Internal transformation of fertilizer-derived organic nitrogen fractions in an arable soil and the regulation of maize residue mulching

open access: yesGeoderma
Soil organic nitrogen (SON) is a major residual fertilizer nitrogen (N) reservoir in soil and affects soil N retention and supply capacity. However, owing to the diverse origins and compositions of SON fractions, the internal transformation of residual ...

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

OsAld-Y on qATS6 links to alkalinity tolerance at the seedling stage in Oryza sativa L. ssp. Japonica

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Salinity and alkalinity stress is one of the main factors limiting the yield of rice. The damage to growth caused by alkaline stress is more severe than the damage caused by neutral salt stress.

Integrating Perennial Groundcover in Corn and Soybean Acres: Impacts on U.S. Agriculture

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable agricultural practices such as cover cropping can improve soil health, water quality, and carbon sequestration, yet U.S. adoption remains limited due to economic and operational barriers. We evaluate market and economic impacts of integrating perennial groundcover into U.S.

Nitrogen Fertiliser Reduction at Different Rice Growth Stages and Increased Density Improve Rice Yield and Quality in Northeast China

open access: yesAgriculture
Rice yield and quality decline due to excessive fertiliser use is problematic in China. To increase rice grain filling and improve rice yield and quality, a nitrogen reduction and density increase study in 2023 and 2024 was imposed on a long-term ...

Assessing Government Subsidies for Reducing Pesticide Use: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the efforts being made by governments to reduce pesticide use, subsidies are an important instrument to encourage farmers to adopt more sustainable practices. Yet, their effectiveness remains uncertain due to diverse designs and contexts.
