The cyber-agricultural system (CAS) represents an overarching framework of agriculture that
leverages recent advances in ubiquitous sensing, artificial intelligence, smart actuators, and …

Roots are essential multifunctional plant organs involved in water and nutrient uptake,
metabolite storage, anchorage, mechanical support, and interaction with the soil …

Background Suboptimal nitrogen availability is a primary constraint for crop production in
low-input agroecosystems, while nitrogen fertilization is a primary contributor to the energy …

Many different experimental approaches have been applied to elaborate and study the
beneficial interactions between soil bacteria and plants. Some of these methods focus on …

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a powerful tool for plant image analysis, but
challenges remain in making them more accessible to researchers without a machine …

Roots are the interface between the plant and the soil and play a central role in multiple
ecosystem processes. With intensification of agricultural practices, rhizosphere processes …

Biostimulants are non-nutritive fertiliser additives which have demonstrated improvements to
growth outputs of various agricultural crops. As a result, they have gained attention as …

Roots assist plants in absorbing water and nutrients from soil. Thus, they are vital to the
survival of nearly all land plants, considering that plants cannot move to seek optimal …

Pore structure is a key determinant of soil functioning, and both root growth and activity of
soil fauna are modified by and interact with pore structure in multiple ways. Cover cropping …

Aims Root system is an important regulator for unevenly distributed below-ground resource
acquisition. In a rainfed cropping environment, drought stress (DS) significantly restricts root …
