Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Systematic Review of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Approaches for Cocoa Pod Disease DetectionHenry Techie-Menson, Michael Asante, Yaw Marfo Missah et al.Cocoa pod diseases destroy an estimated 700,000 metric tons of cocoa annually, threatening 40–50 million smallholder farmers across tropical regions. Accurate field diagnosis remains constrained by symptom similarity, labour-intensive scouting, and limited specialist access in remote communities. This paper presents a PRISMA-guided systematic review of 25 peer-reviewed studies on automated cocoa pod disease detection and classification (2016–2026), addressing architectural approaches, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 8 Sep 2026 · 733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImplementation and Performance Evaluation of YOLOv8 for Wheat Fungal Disease DetectionShivani Sood, Shallu Duggal, Monika Sethi et al.Among the many difficulties in producing wheat, a vital food source for the world, there are biotic variables like fungal diseases, which drastically lower crop output. Around the world, biotrophic fungi particularly, leaf rust, powdery mildew, and yellow rusts-have become a constant threat to wheat production. Traditional methods of identification and mitigation are labor-intensive, slow, and imprecise, limiting therefore early … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 2 May 2026 · 1,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAdafruit IO Based Smart Irrigation System using MQTT Protocol for Urban FarmingDevesh Mishra, Prakhar Yadav, Vandana Yadav et al.Freshwater is needed for irrigation and nutrient supply to plants to make up for the lack of rainfall. Agricultural activities consume more than 70% of the available freshwater. This emphasizes the importance of responsible management of water for irrigation using smart Internet of Things (IoT) based agricultural practices combined with irrigation-related technologies The purpose of this research article is to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 5 · 23 May 2022 · 6,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSensor Technologies for Precision Soil Nutrient Management and MonitoringA. Bah, S. K. Balasundram, M. H.A. HusniProblem statement: Growing concerns about the need to increase crop productivity without causing environmental injury have led to the deployment of site-specific strategies in soil nutrient management, where nutrients are applied in variable rates to fit local requirements. Variable rate application of nutrients is typically based on a rigorous sampling regime and time-consuming data analyses. The ability to monitor soil … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2012 · 9,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIMAGE SEGMENTATION WITH ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK FOR NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY IN COTTON CROPMaicon A. Sartin, Alexandre C.R. Da Silva, Claudinei KappesThe leaf analysis in a crop can present the need of a nutrient determined in the plant. The macronutrients deficiency in the cotton crop can be identified by specific type of colors variation by leaves images. Early identification of macronutrients deficiency can help in the growing suitable of the crop and reduce the use of agricultural inputs. This study investigates … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 4 Feb 2014 · 6,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEmploying Electromagnetic Induction Technique for the Assessment of Soil CompactionKhalid A. Al-GaadiAn experiment on a sandy soil field was conducted to investigate the potential of determining soil compaction from apparent soil Electrical Conductivity (ECa) measured by Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) technique. A soil conductivity meter (EM38) was used to measure ECa under four soil Moisture Contents (MC) (4.965.336.94 and 8.0%) and a range of Soil Compaction (SC) levels (on the average, from … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 7 Nov 2012 · 8,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGeo-Spatial Technologies for Carbon Sequestration Monitoring and ManagementV. Jeyanny, S. K. Balasundram, M. H.A. HusniProblem statement: Globally, the quantification of Carbon Sequestration (CS) potential of various ecosystems was a challenge. There was an urgent need for technologies that can quantify CS potential cost-efficiently in a repeated and organized manner. Approach: Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) had great potential in current estimation, future prediction and management of carbon sequestration potential in terrestrial … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 3 Nov 2011 · 8,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimization of Solenoid Valve for Variable Rate Application SystemSaleh Mufleh Al-Saqer, Ghulam Mubashar HassanProblem statement: The aim of this research was to optimize the performance of solenoid valve used in Variable Rate Application System (VRA) in term of time response. The overall time response is usually divided into four parts i.e., plunger opening time, pressure opening time, plunger closing time and pressure closing time. Approach: The performance and design of the a solenoid … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 8,654 accessesView PDFCite
