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 …

Advancing Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Integrative Biotechnological Approaches for Sustainable Crop Production
Abstract: Climate change presents a major challenge to global agriculture by increasing the occurrence and severity of both non-living and living stress factors, such as drought, high temperatures, salt buildup, waterlogging, and new pests and diseases. These stressors interfere with the normal functioning of plants at the physical, chemical, and genetic levels, which in turn results in lower crop yields and poorer quality. While traditional methods of plant breeding played a …
