Predictive-feedforward energy management for a hybrid agricultural machine operating in mountainous orchards

Hybrid agricultural machines in mountainous orchards operate under low-speed, high-load conditions with coupled gradient and time-varying rolling-resistance disturbances. Their power demand is therefore nonstationary and may change abruptly. Rule-based and instantaneous strategie...

Multicultivar field evaluation of organic and inorganic fertilizer formulations for improving citrus productivity, fruit quality, root architecture, and soil fertility

Organic and inorganic fertilization (OIF) is a promising strategy for sustaining citrus productivity while improving soil fertility, but its integrated effects on citrus yield, fruit quality, root architecture, and soil quality remain insufficiently understood under field conditi...

The optimal combination of long-acting nano-iron and fast-acting ionic-iron fertilizers: A synergistic strategy for enhancing fertilizer efficiency and economic feasibility in peanut

Iron-based nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) have attracted attention as potential nano-fertilizers for micronutrient supplementation. However, the sole application of Fe NPs fails to meet the actual requirements of crop production due to their slow biodegradation, delayed fertilizer respon...

A Gapless T2T Genome and Population-Scale Resequencing of Adzuki Bean Reveal Centromere Evolution and Accelerate Molecular Breeding

Abstract The adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) is an economically and nutritionally significant legume species. Using a multi-strategy sequencing approach, a gapless, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assembly of an elite cultivar, Jihong 16 (JH16), was generated. The genome size was...

ZmTB1be1 Modulates Ear Branching via Releasing the Repression to ZmWOX3a in Maize

The natural mutation of ZmTB1WT to ZmTB1be1 was documented as the fundamental cause of ear branching in maize, while the molecular mechanism remains undiscovered. In the present study, we characterized both ZmTB1WT and ZmTB1be1, and found that the structure of conserved domains,...
