The objective of this study was to determine the research and educational needs of specialty crop growers who are transitioning to soilless substrates. North American growers were surveyed using an online instrument that incorporated Likert-type statement matrices, open-ended questions, and demographic questions. Additionally, two virtually led focus groups were conducted to further expand upon the quantitative findings with descriptive data. Respondents indicated the most important factors in considering whether to adopt soilless substrates were improving, managing, and reducing overall plant quality, disease management, and crop loss, respectively. The most important research needs were understanding the effects of substrates on crop quality and uniformity, fertilizer management, and economic costs and benefits/return on investment. In both the grower survey and focus groups, crop quality and uniformity were among the highest-scored responses. Food safety, disease and pest management, consumer perception, substrate disposal-related issues, transportation, and return-on-investment were also identified as important factors when considering soilless substrates.","PeriodicalId":48587,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture-Basel","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78123999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relationships between various types of tea and suitable target groups have yet to be fully explored, and the existing InteractE model still does not adequately capture a portion of the complex information around the interactions between entities and relationships. In this study, we integrate SENet into the feature layer of the InteractE model to enhance the capturing of helpful information in the feature channels. Additionally, the GCN layer is employed as the encoder, and the SENet-integrated InteractE model is used as the decoder to further capture the neighbour node information in the knowledge graph. Furthermore, our proposed improved model demonstrates significant improvements compared to several standard models, including the original model from public datasets (WN18RR, Kinship). Finally, we construct a tea dataset comprising 6698 records, including 330 types of tea and 29 relationship types. We predict the “suitable for people” relationship in the tea dataset through transfer learning. When comparing our model with the original model, we observed an improvement of 1.4% in H@10 for the WN18RR dataset, a 7.6% improvement in H@1 for the Kinship dataset, and a 5.2% improvement in MRR. Regarding the tea dataset, we achieved a 4.1% increase in H@3 and a 2.5% increase in H@10. This study will help to fully exploit the value potential of tea varieties and provide a reference for studies assessing healthy tea drinking.","PeriodicalId":48587,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture-Basel","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87440963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposed a multidimensional feature derivation method and an Attention-Based CNN model to solve this problem. This study aimed to realize the traditional feature screening task by deep learning algorithms and built an estimation model. Compared with different regression algorithms, the R2, RMSE, MAE, and MAPE of the Attention-Based CNN were 0.971, 7.77, 5.69, and 5.87%, respectively, and showed the best performance.

However, information and knowledge barriers seriously impede the adoption, effective use, and scaling up of soil fertility management innovations, especially by smallholder farmers who produce the bulk of the region’s food needs. Apart from the knowledge that smallholder farmers seek soil fertility information from diverse sources, which they apply simultaneously, there is limited knowledge of farmers’ information-seeking behaviour regarding which sources are used simultaneously and the factors influencing these choices. We employed a cross-sectional survey study design to determine the simultaneous use of soil fertility information sources of 400 smallholder farming households in the Central Highlands of Kenya. We analysed the data using descriptive statistics, principal component analysis (PCA), and a multivariate probit model. The PCA distinguished seven categories of information sources farmers use: local interpersonal, cosmopolite interpersonal, aggregative, print/demonstration, broadcast media, community-based, and progressive learning sources. The intensity of use revealed that most of the smallholders used soil fertility information sources simultaneously and primarily as complements. The determinants of simultaneous use of soil fertility information sources were farmer location, marital status, main occupation, age, farming experience, exposure to agricultural training, group membership, arable land and livestock units owned, soil fertility status, soil fertility change, and soil testing. This study’s findings have implications for information dissemination strategies involving using multiple complementary sources of knowledge for improved soil health and productivity.","PeriodicalId":48587,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture-Basel","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87926902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stored Grain Ecosystems (SGEs) are complex systems comprising a range of grains, microorganisms, and environmental elements. To ensure sustainable grain storage and promote food-friendly SGEs, careful regulation and monitoring of these factors are vital. This review traces the evolution of the Eco-concept of stored grain in China, focusing on micro- and macro-structural composition, the Multi-field/Re-coupling structure, and Smart Construction of SGEs, while introducing the four development lines and Wisdom Methodology of SGEs. The current status and challenges of SGEs in China are also discussed. The Eco-concept of stored grain in China has progressed through the initial exploration period, formation and practice periods, and has now entered its fourth stage, marked by a shift to include interactions of multiple biological fields. This evolution extends beyond the traditional binary relationship and offers emerging technologies greater scope for scientific and intelligent theoretical analysis of grain storage practices. The Wisdom Methodology employs a multifaceted, Mechanism and Data-driven approach, incorporating four driving methods, and is now widely recognized as a leading strategy for researching Smart Grain Systems. Digital Twin technology enables precise simulations and mappings of real-world SGEs in a virtual environment, supporting accurate assessments and early warnings for issues concerning grain conditions. Driven by Mechanism and Data, Digital Twin solutions are a pioneering trend and emerging hotspot with vast potential for enhancing the intelligence and wisdom of future grain storage processes. Overall, this review provides valuable guidance to practitioners for advancing high-quality Smart Grain Systems, enhancing sustainable and intelligent grain storage practices.","PeriodicalId":48587,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture-Basel","volume":"150 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75851398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to explore the overall leisure agriculture and different types of leisure agriculture spatial sub-characteristics and their influencing factors. Taking the city of Xi’an, China, as an example, leisure agriculture was classified into four types: agritainments, agricultural parks, resorts, and rural homestays. According to this study, two ring zones and one core belt zone for leisure agriculture in Xi’an are dispersed unevenly and aggregated. Furthermore, geographic detectors and spatial principal components were employed as empirical techniques to investigate the primary factors influencing the spatial distribution of multiple leisure agriculture heterogeneity. The results about the influence mechanism indicate that the gross domestic product, population density, and accessibility to transportation dominated the overall spatial distribution, while the distance to scenic spots and water areas had a significant impact on the spatial distribution of some types. This research contributes to the reconstruction of leisure agriculture and promotes the sustainable development of agriculture and recreation by merging leisure agriculture spatial resources.","PeriodicalId":48587,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture-Basel","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80358725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reduce the energy consumption of the extractor while maintaining the original impurity rate and loss rate stable, firstly, a blade element analysis method with aerodynamic theory was put forward to analyze the stress of the extractor blade, and the energy consumption equation and influencing factors of extraction were obtained. Subsequently, the computational fluid dynamics model of the exhaust extractor was established. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the SST k-ω model were used to analyze the mechanism of various influencing factors on the energy consumption and internal flow characteristics of the extractor. The changes in various parameters were analyzed and discussed with respect to the resulting variations in internal pressure, velocity, vortex structure, and lift–drag coefficient of the extractor. A test bench of the extractor was built, and orthogonal tests were carried out with energy consumption, impurity rate, and loss rate as test indicators. Considering the results of the simulation and bench test comprehensively, the combination of a rotational speed of 1450 RPM, a blade number of 3, an installation angle of 25°, and a blade chord length of 200 mm was optimal for the extractor. Finally, a comparative test was carried out between the optimized extractor and the original extractor. The results demonstrated that the energy consumption of the optimized extractor was reduced by 15.49%. The impurity rate decreased by 3.51%, and the loss rate decreased by 12.39% compared to the original extractor. The study can provide a theoretical and experimental basis for designing and optimizing extractor performance.","PeriodicalId":48587,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture-Basel","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91121707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study’s main goal was to analyze the characteristics of the tobacco and tobacco supply chain in Serbia and determine comparative advantages and levels of integration with the world market. The methodology used in this study included the index of concentration of tobacco manufacturers, followed by a panel regression analysis to determine factors that affected profitability in this industry. Also, foreign trade performances were analyzed using the indices of revealed comparative advantages and integration. The research was conducted for the period from 2013 to the last available year. The results indicate the growth of tobacco production despite the decline in the number of farms, the highly concentrated production of tobacco products, and the significant intensification of foreign trade despite modest comparative advantages.","PeriodicalId":48587,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture-Basel","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89042675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
