Pesticide spraying constitutes an essential component of the production and management regimen within banana orchards, extending throughout the entire growth cycle of the banana plants. Exploring the intricate interplay between surfactants, pesticide formulations, and the evolving surface properties of banana leaves throughout their growth stages is critical to the enhancement of pesticide application methods and the elevation of agricultural productivity.

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and other auxinic herbicides are important for weed control in cropping systems globally. Weeds with resistance to 2,4-D and other auxinic herbicides have evolved, including several populations of Sonchus oleraceus from multiple sites in Australia. We report the underlying mechanism in these populations that gives rise to auxinic herbicide resistance.

Various types of hydrogel compounds have recently been developed for controlling invasive and pest ants in a range of environmental settings including agricultural, urban and natural areas. The current study evaluated the potential of sodium polyacrylate (ACR) hydrogels to effectively deliver liquid baits to Argentine ants.

Soft rot (Pectobacterium aroidearum and Dickeya) is a devastating soil-borne bacterial disease that threatens konjac production. Intercropping with false acacia has been shown to significantly reduce soft rot incidence in konjac by shifting the microbial community. However, how intercropping shapes the root bacterial community and affects soft rot incidence remains unclear. To address this, we investigated three konjac intercropping systems (false acacia, paulownia, and maize) to explore the relationships among intercropping, soft rot incidence, root bacterial community, soil enzyme activity, and soil properties.

Rice leafroller is a serious threat to the production of rice. Monitoring the damage caused by rice leafroller is essential for effective pest management. Owing to limitations in collecting decent quality images and high-performing identification methods to recognize the damage, studies recommending fast and accurate identification of rice leafroller damage are rare. In this study, we employed an ultra-lightweight unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to eliminate the influence of the downwash flow field and obtain very high-resolution images of the damaged areas of the rice leafroller. We used deep learning technology and the segmentation model, Attention U-Net, to recognize the damaged area by the rice leafroller. Further, a method is presented to count the damaged patches from the segmented area.
