Broad-Leaf Weed Detection in Pasture [PDF]

2018 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Image, Vision and Computing (ICIVC), 2018
Weed control in pasture is a challenging problem that can be expensive and environmentally unfriendly. This paper proposes a novel method for recognition of broad-leaf weeds in pasture such that precision weed control can be achieved with reduced herbicide use.

STBNA-YOLOv5: An Improved YOLOv5 Network for Weed Detection in Rapeseed Field

Agriculture
Rapeseed is one of the primary oil crops; yet, it faces significant threats from weeds. The ideal method for applying herbicides would be selective variable spraying, but the primary challenge lies in automatically identifying weeds.

Determinants of Knowledge and Usage of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Agricultural Extension: Evidence From Tennessee Extension Personnel

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the determinants of generative AI (GenAI) knowledge and usage among agricultural extension professionals. Drawing on survey data from agricultural extension personnel in Tennessee, we employ regression analyses and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) for topic modeling of open‐ended responses to study the knowledge and usage ...

A Two-Stage Weed Detection and Localization Method for Lily Fields Targeting Laser Weeding

Agriculture
The cultivation of edible lilies is highly susceptible to weed infestation during its growth period, and the application of herbicides is often impractical, leading to the rampant growth of diverse weed species.

Economics of land‐based carbon mitigation

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural land holds tremendous potential to contribute to net zero greenhouse gas emission goals by providing low carbon renewable energy to displace fossil fuels and by serving as a sink for sequestering carbon in the soil with climate‐smart practices. This potential is, however, far from being realized.

Automated Weed Detection Systems: A Review

KnE Engineering, 2020
A weed plant can be described as a plant that is unwanted at a specific location at a given time. Farmers have fought against the weed populations for as long as land has been used for food production. In conventional agriculture this weed control contributes a considerable amount to the overall cost of the produce.

Sustainable Graphene Oxide–Intercalated Bentonite Composite for the Effective Removal of Imidacloprid From Water: Adsorption Performance, Isotherm, and Kinetics

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental necessity for our existence, but its rapid contamination is causing devastating effects on the environment and health of living species worldwide. Adsorptive removal of pollutants is one of the popular water treatment techniques because of its simplicity, affordability, and the broad range of available adsorbents.
