A Critical Review on Soil Chemical Processes that Control How Soil pH Affects Phosphorus Availability to Plants

Chad J. Penn, James J. Camberato · 8 Jun 2019

Occasionally, the classic understanding of the effect of pH on P uptake from soils is questioned through the claim that maximum P uptake occurs at a pH much lower than 6.5–7. The purpose of this paper was to thoroughly examine that claim and provide a critical review on soil processes that control how soil pH…

Soil Erosion Threatens Food Production

David Pimentel, Michael Burgess · 8 Aug 2013

Since humans worldwide obtain more than 99.7% of their food (calories) from the land and less than 0.3% from the oceans and aquatic ecosystems, preserving cropland and maintaining soil fertility should be of the highest importance to human welfare. Soil erosion is one of the most serious threats facing world food production. Each year about…

The Path to Smart Farming: Innovations and Opportunities in Precision Agriculture

E. M. B. M. Karunathilake, Anh Tuan Le, Seong Heo et al. · 11 Aug 2023

Precision agriculture employs cutting-edge technologies to increase agricultural productivity while reducing adverse impacts on the environment. Precision agriculture is a farming approach that uses advanced technology and data analysis to maximize crop yields, cut waste, and increase productivity. It is a potential strategy for tackling some of the major issues confronting contemporary agriculture, such as…

Smart Farming: Internet of Things (IoT)-Based Sustainable Agriculture

D Muthumanickam, C. Poongodi, R. Kumaraperumal et al. · 21 Oct 2022

Smart farming is a development that has emphasized information and communication technology used in machinery, equipment, and sensors in network-based hi-tech farm supervision cycles. Innovative technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing are anticipated to inspire growth and initiate the use of robots and artificial intelligence in farming. Such ground-breaking deviations are unsettling…

Review on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Applied to Plant Leaf Disease Classification

Jinzhu Lu, Lijuan Tan, Huanyu Jiang · 27 Jul 2021

Crop production can be greatly reduced due to various diseases, which seriously endangers food security. Thus, detecting plant diseases accurately is necessary and urgent. Traditional classification methods, such as naked-eye observation and laboratory tests, have many limitations, such as being time consuming and subjective. Currently, deep learning (DL) methods, especially those based on convolutional neural…
