A Deep Survey on Techniques Used to Recognize Locust Based on CNN
Abstract: The major threat in agriculture is insect pests and crop disease. Outbreaks and upsurges of insects can cause huge loss to crop production. Locusts are crop devouring pests found in many parts of the world. Recognition of locusts in early stage helps to prevent the spread of locusts by taking appropriate counter-measures and biological control methods. Initially, locusts were classified and recognized manually which is time consuming and requires taxonomic …

ADVANCEMENTS AND CHALLENGES OF MODERN BREEDING OVER CONVENTIONAL BREEDING
Abstract: Plant breeding dates back thousands of years, when people first deliberately bred plants based on visually pleasing characteristics. The domestication of wild plants aided this process, resulting in the evolution of numerous breeding strategies over time. Conventional breeding, which is distinguished by selective breeding based on superior performance, used procedures such as pure-line selections, mass selection, backcross breeding, recurrent selection, and hybridization. While effective, classical breeding procedures were time-consuming and …

Sustainable Cotton Crop Productivity through Precision Weed Detection: A Deep Learning-Based Approach with UAV Integration
Abstract: Weeds present a major challenge to crop productivity by competing with crops for vital resources, including water, sunlight, and nutrients, often resulting in significant yield reductions. On a global scale, weeds are responsible for approximately 13.2% of annual crop losses, a quantity sufficient to feed nearly one billion people. These invasive plants disrupt agricultural systems and adversely impact crop yields. Given their uneven distribution in fields, ground or aerial robots …
