To meet growing food demand with limited land and reduced environmental impact, soil testing and formulated fertilization methods have been widely adopted around the world. However, conventional technology for investigating nitrogen fertilization rates (NFR) is time consuming and expensive. Here, we evaluated the use of visible near-infrared shortwave-infrared (VIS-NIR-SWIR: 400–2500 nm) spectr...

Rice pests are one of the main factors affecting rice yield. The accurate identification facilitates timely preventive measures to avoid economic losses. Some existing open source datasets related pest mostly include only a small number samples, or suffer from inter-class and intra-class variance data imbalance challenges, which limit application deep learning techniques in field identification...

Rice stripe disease, caused by Rice stripe virus (RSV), is one of the most serious rice diseases in temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Since RSV is not transmissible mechanically, an insect transmission test was the original basis for identification of the viral population and cultivar resistance. A simple, rapid and reliable method is described by which virus-free small brown plan...
