The preservation of rice faces a significant loss due to the widespread presence of stored pests. Rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) is the common and destructive pest in stored rice. Numerous approaches exist for repelling stored pests, involving chemical solutions, biological control, and disinfestation through fumigation. However, the practical viability of these methods has been compromised due to their associated costs and environmental implications. As a result, there is an emergent need for exploring alternative and environmentally friendly pest management strategies to control stored pests in a sustainable manner. This study explored the efficacy of near-far ultrasound as a repellent technique for rice weevils. The near-far ultrasound system was constructed in combination of the microcontroller, ultrasound sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, and C++ language was used to run the system. A multi-web-cam system was deployed to monitor weevils’ movements in radiation and non-radiation chambers. A total of 100 live weevils were used for each experiment. The developed frequency range of 33–48 KHz was automatically sent to the transducer and the radiation on weevils was observed through their movement changed during the experimental time. The results showed that 29 ± 0.812 %, 54 ± 0.927 % and 79 ± 0.922 % were effective after 24, 48 and 72 h of experimentation. Hence, the developed ultrasonic weevil repellent system can be a practical and sustainable solution for repelling weevils, which mitigates storage losses caused by weevil infestations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74813,"journal":{"name":"Smart agricultural technology","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100961"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143868967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study tested the boosted regression trees (BRT) and kernel ridge regression (KRR) for inversion of the PROSAIL RTM to retrieve LAI across 20 sweet potato varieties during peak growth stage. Furthermore, the study attempted to constrain the inversion process by using active learning (AL) techniques which ensured the selection of informative samples from a pool of RTM simulations. Results show that the most accurate LAI retrieval over the heterogeneous sweet potato canopy was achieved by integrating smaller PROSAIL simulations with the random sampling AL and KRR methods.

However, the BRT performance in-comparison to KRR, captured more spatial variability of observed LAI with a better prediction accuracy across the 20 sweet potato varieties.

However, despite the availability of numerous methods to measure spatial variability, their limitations hinder large-scale adoption, posing challenges to the broader implementation of precision agriculture. This study aims to identify spectral indices derived from bare-soil analysis as potential substitutes for electrical conductivity (ECa) in mapping spatial variability. The approach aligns with the need for cost-effective, scalable, and less labor-intensive solutions to manage field variability. Using multi-temporal bare-soil imagery spanning five years across two fields under intermittent cultivation in Italy, we applied principal component analysis to evaluate correlations between spectral indices and ECa. Both fields demonstrated strong correlations between ECa and the first principal component (PC1). Key variables identified as highly correlated with ECa included the Brightness Index (0.66), Near-Infrared (0.53), and Red reflectance (0.58). The percentage variance explained by PC1 was 75.4 % for Field 1 and 79.0 % for Field 2. Finally, PC1 is correlated with ECa in the two areas in the measure of 0.73 and 0.53, respectively. This work addresses the problem of substituting ECa with covariates derived from bare-soil analysis from a purely statistical perspective as a first necessary step aiming at identifying the most promising covariates.

This method is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and susceptible to human error. Recent advances in deep learning-based object detection and efficient tracking algorithms have enabled automated object counting in video data across various domains, including crop seedling counting in agriculture. This study investigates the effects of viewing angle (VA) and field of view (FoV) on detection, tracking, and counting early-stage pine seedlings in nadir-view videos using a detect-and-track approach. We evaluated the performance of YOLOv8–10 models in conjunction with three multi-object tracking (MOT) algorithms (SORT, ByteTrack, and BoT-SORT) on a custom MOT dataset comprising an average of 153 seedlings per frame and totaling 166,440 seedlings. Detection results and statistical tests showed that increasing horizontal VA reduces the intersection over union (IoU) of seedling detections, primarily due to the perspective differences introduced by oblique viewing angles. MOT evaluations further demonstrated that BoT-SORT consistently delivered high counting accuracy when the vertical FoV encompassed at least the entire seedling. In contrast, ByteTrack and SORT exhibited significantly lower performance, producing reasonable counting accuracy only when the vertical FoV was sufficiently large. The superior performance of BoT-SORT is attributed to its camera motion compensation, which effectively reduces identity switches and tracking failures in scenes involving stationary yet overlapping seedlings. Notably, BoT-SORT achieved 100 % counting accuracy under a 20° horizontal VA across YOLO model sizes. Furthermore, larger YOLO models showed greater robustness to increases in horizontal VA. These findings provide valuable guidance for optimizing camera configurations and model selection towards the development of a real-time inventory systems for precision forest nursery management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74813,"journal":{"name":"Smart agricultural technology","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100951"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143839453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
