High temperatures (HTs) at anthesis may cause poor pollination and excessive flower/fruit drop, seriously affecting fruit yield and quality. To comprehensively analyze the developmental dynamics and morphological responses of citrus to HT stress at anthesis, methods for precise whole-flower phenotypic extraction and stamen state classification were developed. A citrus flower automatic segmentation and phenotypic quantitative model (CF-ASPM) that combines the pre-trained Segment Anything Model (SAM) with a lightweight classification module was constructed to accurately identify and quantify key citrus flower structures. Phenotypic parameter extraction correlation coefficients were 0.90–0.98. A few-shot stamen classification method was also designed using a pre-segmentation strategy and differential features, and its classification accuracy was 96.39%. Experiments with <em>Ehime</em> mandarin were conducted to analyze dynamic citrus floral organ changes at different temperatures and the underlying physiological mechanisms. The results showed that citrus exhibits a distinct reproductive priority strategy under HTs. Floral organ growth is inhibited, blooming is accelerated, and an asynchronous compensation mechanism occurs between male and female organs. HTs accelerated flower aging and caused developmental imbalances in the ovary and nectar disc. This may lead to increased flower and fruit drop and altered fruit shape. This study revealed the reproductive priority strategy and growth imbalance of citrus floral organs under HTs using the CF-ASPM model. It provides important data for further exploring the molecular mechanisms and management strategies of HT stress.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50627,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Electronics in Agriculture","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 110421"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143863888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optimizing peanut production could foster economic growth for a significant number of smallholder farmers across the globe. In this study, we used an <em>in-silico</em> cropping system model to simulate and optimize genotype × crop management (G × M) across India that would narrow the existing peanut yield gaps. For that, we simulated diverse G × M combinations across range of environments (E) in India, considering three irrigation regimes typical for managing peanut production systems. Covering whole India in a 0.5°×0.5° resolution, we simulated 60,480 G × M combinations for each grid, summing up to a total of 2.3 billion simulations and 1.02 TB output data. This required well-structured high-performance computing (HPC) approaches, data management, and analytical capacities. For this, we present the concept of a re-usable HPC system with interoperable modules, which can be readily adapted for different simulation setups. We introduced the novel way of analyzing simulation outputs − “Index of Goodness” (IoG) − that aggregates key peanut production characteristics (grain and haulm production) and production risk failure. IoG is a simple way to evaluate the suitability of simulated GxM options from the perspective of end-users, including primary producers and crop improvement programs. The generated output was used to identify the geographic regions (environmental clusters, EC) with high degree of similarities within each of the tested irrigation regimes. For each cluster, we identified a specific suite of GxM to benefit peanut production and prioritize G targets for breeding. In principle, irrigated cropping systems would benefit from high planting densities, long duration and vigorous crop types. With diminishing water availability (particularly in the Thar Desert and SE India), the optimal production included shorter duration crop types which could quickly respond to drought stimuli (i.e. close stomata and conserve soil water upon soil and atmospheric drought exposure). These traits should also be considered in phenotyping strategies to support context-specific breeding.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50627,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Electronics in Agriculture","volume":"235 ","pages":"Article 110383"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143868727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High-resolution remote sensing (RS) data offer significant potential for predicting the spatial distribution of SOM over large areas, and effective predictive models can achieve high mapping accuracy. In this study, Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 combined with environmental variables as two distinct sets of predictive covariates were used to predict the SOM content of typical black soil areas in Northeast China using six machine learning (ML) models, while analyzing the effects of these covariates. The model averaging integration framework based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-MA) was proposed to combine the predictions of ML models to improve mapping accuracy, and it was compared with six traditional integration methods. The results show that the Landsat 8 covariate combination outperforms Sentinel-2 in prediction performance. Among single ML models, MLP achieves the best prediction accuracy with an R<sup>2</sup> of 0.64. The MA methods improve SOM prediction results, and SEM-MA provides the highest R<sup>2</sup> increase (12.5 %), explaining 72 % of the spatial variability in SOM and significantly improving SOM mapping. Additionally, the accuracy of SEM-MA remains unaffected by the performance of any single model. The SOM prediction map indicates higher content in the northeast and lower content in the west, with an average SOM content of 21.90 g·kg<sup>−1</sup>. SOM is primarily explained by the difference index (DI) (46.08 %), followed by environmental covariates (19.29 %) and original bands (17.53 %). SOM is closely related to the environmental covariates used, with bulk density (BD) and sand having an inhibitory effect, while soil moisture (SM) and silt promote its accumulation. However, SOM is more sensitive to changes in BD and its distribution is also affected by sand and silt interactions. Overall, SEM-MA proves to be a feasible tool for extracting effective information from different models while avoiding their limitations in SOM mapping. This study provides a valuable reference for enhancing the spatial prediction of soil properties, and the proposed method can be applied to improve the accuracy of digital soil mapping.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50627,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Electronics in Agriculture","volume":"236 ","pages":"Article 110404"},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143863886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 presents a novel greenhouse seedbed image stitching method based on seedbed plane alignment and efficient point-line matching, using a rail-based inspection device mounted above the seedbed to capture sequential images covering the seedbed area, in order to obtain high-quality panoramic images of the strawberry seedlings. First, since the strawberry seedlings are located within the seedbed area, the Depth-Anything model is utilized to extract the seedbed plane, allowing the registration algorithm to focus on the precise alignment of the seedbed region. Secondly, to fully leverage the geometric structure in the strawberry seedbed images, a local registration method GlueStick based on point-line matching is applied to match feature points between overlapping seedbed images, significantly reducing the number of feature points while effectively enhancing matching accuracy. Finally, exploiting the equidistant imaging characteristics of the rail-based imaging device, a homography matrix optimization method is proposed, effectively mitigating the impact of a small number of inaccurate local matches on the global stitching performance. Comprehensive experiments, encompassing both subjective (qualitative scoring) and objective (RMSE, Image Distortion Degree) evaluations, conducted on the constructed strawberry seedbed image dataset, demonstrate that the proposed method achieves precise alignment of the seedbed and effectively preserves the overall naturalness, outperforming representative image stitching methods.

While EGS performance has been validated in laboratory settings, field testing remains limited. The objectives of this study were to determine the number of repeated PGA measurements required to achieve steady-state NH<sub>3</sub> concentrations and to compare them to EGS measurements in a naturally ventilated dairy barn.
