This method integrates the CBAM attention module into the shallow C3 modules of the backbone network to enhance image features. Additionally, it removes the original large and medium-sized object detection heads of YOLOv5 and adds a dedicated detection head for tiny rice seeds. For post-processing of model prediction data, the Soft-NMS algorithm is employed to replace standard Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) and reduce missed detections. Finally, image acquisition, seed counting, and a user interface are integrated into a single system, enabling rice breeders to conduct seed counting tasks more intuitively and efficiently. Compared with the baseline YOLOv5 model, the recall and mAP@[0.5:0.95] of the improved model increase by 6.4 % and 5.7 %, respectively. Furthermore, this study designs experiments with three levels of seed density. In the intermediate-type rice seed samples, the detection accuracy reaches 100 % under light and moderate density conditions, while it maintains stable counting performance under heavy density conditions with an accuracy above 99.7 %. This work significantly enhances rice seed counting efficiency for researchers and facilitates rice variety improvement studies.","source":"DOAJ","year":2026,"language":"","subjects":["Agriculture (General)","Agricultural industries"],"doi":"10.1016/j.atech.2026.101779","url":"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772375526000031","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":70},{"id":"doaj_10.1016/j.indic.2025.100770","title":"Green development efficiency and its determinants in China's agricultural product circulation Industry: An empirical analysis based on panel data from 26 provinces","authors":[{"name":"Yuguo Jiang"},{"name":"Ziyu Zhao"},{"name":"Xinjie Zhao"}],"abstract":"This paper employs the super-efficiency slack-based measure (SBM) model with undesirable outputs to measure the green development efficiency of the agricultural product circulation industry (APCI) across 26 provinces of China from 2013 to 2022, and applies the kernel density estimation method to reveal its spatio-temporal evolution characteristics. Furthermore, the Tobit model is utilized to analyze the factors influencing the green development efficiency of the APCI. The research reveals that: (1)The green development efficiency of China's APCI is at a medium level. In 2019, a significant spatial demarcation emerged in the green development efficiency of China's agricultural product circulation industry, with the efficiency highland shifting from North/Northeast China to Southern regions, thereby manifesting a new ''high-south, low-north'' efficiency configuration. (2) Interprovincial disparities initially narrowed and subsequently widened. Furthermore, the six major regions exhibited heterogeneous dynamic characteristics, while the green development efficiency of the APCI demonstrated spatial imbalance across provinces. (3) The openness to international market (OIM) exerts a statistically significant positive effect on the green development efficiency of the APCI. Conversely, industrial structure (IS) and agricultural pollution level (API) demonstrate inhibitory effects on APCI's green development efficiency. This study deepens the understanding of APCI's green development efficiency, constructs a systematic measurement framework, expands research perspectives, and provides tools for governments, industries, and enterprises to evaluate efficiency accurately.","source":"DOAJ","year":2025,"language":"","subjects":["Environmental sciences"],"doi":"10.1016/j.indic.2025.100770","url":"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2665972725001916","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":69},{"id":"doaj_10.1186/s40100-025-00347-9","title":"Exploring consumer preferences and policy implications in local food systems: Does taste or labeling matter in honey?","authors":[{"name":"Belinda Lopéz-Galán"},{"name":"Tiziana de-Magistris"}],"abstract":"Abstract This study analyses the influence of geographical origin and taste on honey consumer behavior.

The resonance frequencies of the measuring points on different branches are mostly close, but the frequencies of the maximum peaks on different paths are different, which is often related to the branch path. The optimal working parameter combination under layered vibration is: the lower layer excitation frequency and amplitude are 5.80 Hz and 7.00 mm, the upper layer excitation frequency and amplitude are 15.60 Hz and 8.50 mm. Under this parameter combination, the acceleration of the measuring point on the fine branch is closest to the separation acceleration.

This crisis environment in which food logistics companies have been operating has opened a unique opportunity to renew operating procedures and seek new solutions, products, and markets. Therefore, food logistics companies have developed more effective communication strategies and innovative, profitable, and forward-looking commercial strategies to adapt to the new needs of their clients, applied more efficient transport planning and management methods, implemented new technologies to increase automation and digitization in warehouses, transport platforms, and trucks, and boosted market concentration and investment in infrastructure.

Despite their critical role and contribution to economic growth, they have received a great deal of criticism for their poor performance. Most of the challenges confronting these agro-enterprises, however, are the result of poor financial management practices. Previous research studies have indicated generally that financial management practices have an impact on the performance and success for small businesses, yet scholarly research shows there is limited empirical evidence on which financial management practices have an influence on the agri-SMEs performance, which is why it was critical to examine this phenomenon. A total of 427 SMEs in Tanzania's agricultural sector were surveyed and examined. The developed hypotheses were evaluated using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS 4 to determine the effect of implementing financial management practices on the performance of agri-SME. Findings from the empirical study shows that working capital management practices and financing management practices have significant positive influence on both financial and organizational performance of the surveyed agro enterprises, while the accounting, financial reporting practices and capital budgeting management practices have insignificant influence on the performance agri-SMEs performance. Based on the findings, the study recommends that the government and regulatory authorities such as the Small Industries Development Organization (SIDO) must continue to emphasize their policies for improved agri-SME performance and sustainability while directly or indirectly encourage managers (venture owners) to consider working capital and financing practices as core to their financial management strategies.","source":"DOAJ","year":2023,"language":"","subjects":["History of scholarship and learning.

The necessity of introducing\r\na management system aimed at ensuring a phased management of enterprise processes, taking into\r\naccount the specifics of functioning with a high level of efficiency, flexibility and efficiency, has been\r\nsubstantiated. A retrospective analysis of the formation and development of the control system in industrialized countries has bee carried out. The results of the analysis made it possible to highlight the\r\nmain concepts of controlling in accordance with their orientation. The peculiarities of the organization\r\nof the controlling system at agricultural enterprises of Ukraine in the conditions of seasonal market\r\nfluctuations have beenare determined.\r\nGrowing crops, unlike the production of products in other industries, has such a feature as seasonality. The seasonal nature of production of agricultural enterprises determines the parameters of the\r\nactivities of industries that produce and maintain agricultural products, harvest, preserve, process and\r\nsell agricultural products.\r\nSeasonal fluctuations have a direct impact on the intensity of the use of financial, material and\r\ntechnical, labor, energy and other types of resources of agricultural enterprises in certain periods of\r\ntime during the calendar year. Thus, they impede the effective planning of the financial and economic\r\nactivities of agricultural enterprises.

The process of vermicomposting has emerged as a method of choice for converting waste into useful manure, with evidence of increase in crop productivity. During vermicomposting, the collective activities of decomposing microorganisms and earthworms lead to the humification of organic/inorganic waste, thereby generating the final product called vermicompost. Different types of industrial wastes such as waste from paper industries, tanneries, sugar mills, and pulp and textile industries have been effectively converted to vermicompost and successfully used to improve plant growth. The vermicompost thus formed was also demonstrated to increase the production of pharmaceutically important plant secondary metabolites such as withanolides and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Microbial amendment with different bacterial and fungal strains during vermicomposting further proves to be beneficial by increasing nitrogen content, decomposing organic waste, providing aeration, and stabilizing the vermicompost. These microorganisms after passing through the earthworm’s intestine increase in numbers in the vermicast, thus becoming enriched in vermicompost, which is particularly important for their use as biofertilizers. The precise role of different microbial pretreatments in improving the quality of vermicompost generated from industrial and agricultural waste is, however, not completely understood. To fill this gap in knowledge, the present article aims to review published literature to highlight the potential of microbial amendment during vermicomposting for bioremediation of industrial and agricultural waste. Microbial pre-composting followed by vermicomposting emerges as an ecofriendly and economical approach for managing agricultural and industrial waste.","source":"DOAJ","year":2022,"language":"","subjects":["Biotechnology"],"doi":"10.5114/bta.2022.116213","url":"https://www.termedia.pl/Vermicomposting-with-microbial-amendment-Implications-for-bioremediation-of-industrial-and-agricultural-waste,85,47026,1,1.html","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":66},{"id":"doaj_10.1016/j.regsus.2022.10.002","title":"Livelihood vulnerability of smallholder farmers to climate change: A comparative analysis based on irrigation access in South Sulawesi, Indonesia","authors":[{"name":" Arifah"},{"name":"Darmawan Salman"},{"name":"Amir Yassi"},{"name":"Eymal Bahsar Demmallino"}],"abstract":"Bulukumba Regency is one of the major rice-producing areas in South Sulawesi, Indonesia and has experienced frequent climate disasters over the past decade. Several downstream villages within the Bettu River irrigation area have been affected by the drought, culminating in reduced lowland rice production and increasing the vulnerability of farmers’ livelihoods. This study aims to evaluate the vulnerability of the livelihood system among rice farmers in the Bettu River irrigation area by classifying the area into two zones based on the distance from the main irrigation canal, namely the upstream area and downstream area. The livelihood vulnerability index (LVI) framework and livelihood vulnerability index-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (LVI-IPCC) approach were applied by selecting geographic and socio-demographic indicators that affected the farmer households, including 8 major components and 26 sup-components. The data for LVI-IPCC estimation were collected by randomly selecting 132 households from villages in the two areas. The empirical results showed that farmers in the downstream area were more vulnerable to climate change than farmers in the upstream area. The major components causing the livelihood vulnerability of the downstream farmers were livelihood strategy, food, water, land, health, as well as natural disasters and climate variability. In particular, the sub-components of agricultural livelihood diversification, consistent water supply for farming, and drought events were important in the downstream area. Farmers in the upstream area were vulnerable to socio-demographic profile and social network components. The LVI-IPCC findings suggested that the government should prioritize farmers in the downstream area to develop resilience strategies, particularly by increasing irrigation infrastructure and the number of reservoirs and drilling holes. Furthermore, to increase their adaptive capacity in terms of diversification of agricultural livelihood systems, the government and donor agencies need to provide trainings on the development of home food industries for poor farmers and vulnerable households that were affected by disasters.","source":"DOAJ","year":2022,"language":"","subjects":["Science (General)","Geology"],"doi":"10.1016/j.regsus.2022.10.002","url":"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666660X22000512","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":66},{"id":"doaj_10.26740/al-uqud.v4n2.p186-199","title":"The Synergy Model for Strengthening the Productivity of Indonesian Halal Industry","authors":[{"name":"Ana Toni Roby Candra Yudha"},{"name":"Nasif Sidquee Pauzi"},{"name":"Rafidah binti Mohd Azli"}],"abstract":"Halal industry has become a new commodity that is favoured by all countries around the world, including Indonesia.

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la evaluación DHE de TUC 00-19, una variedad de caña de azúcar producida por el Programa de Mejoramiento Genético de la Estación Experimental Agroindustrial Obispo Colombres (EEAOC) que se incorporó en el RNPC de la República Argentina.","source":"DOAJ","year":2018,"language":"","subjects":["Agriculture","Agricultural industries"],"url":"http://www.scielo.org.ar/pdf/riat/v95n2/v95n2a04.pdf","pdf_url":"http://www.scielo.org.ar/pdf/riat/v95n2/v95n2a04.pdf","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":62},{"id":"doaj_Determinaci%C3%B3n+del+contenido+de+humedad+del+bagazo+de+ca%C3%B1a+de+az%C3%B9car+por+medio+de+microondas","title":"Determinación del contenido de humedad del bagazo de caña de azùcar por medio de microondas","authors":[{"name":"Gimena Zamora Rueda"},{"name":"Cynthia Gutiérrez"},{"name":"Gabriela Mistretta"},{"name":"Florencia Peralta"},{"name":"Marcos Golato"},{"name":"Marcelo Ruiz"},{"name":"Dora Paz"}],"abstract":"El contenido de humedad del bagazo es un parámetro fundamental para el control del caudal de agua de imbibición y la regulación de los equipos de molienda. La metodología tradicional mediante el secado de bagazo en estufa resulta lenta para atender las necesidades y requerimientos de fábrica. Por ello, el presente trabajo tiene por objetivo mostrar la metodología de secado de bagazo por microondas ensayadas en el Laboratorio de Ensayos y Mediciones Industriales (LEMI) de la EEAOC. Se trabajó con 20 muestras de bagazo recolectadas durante la zafra 2014 de distintos ingenios bajo dos metodologías, la tradicional con estufa eléctrica, y la propuesta por microondas. Los resultados obtenidos del contenido de humedad por medio de la estufa fueron en promedio de 55,00%, mientras que con el uso de microondas resultó de 54,84%. Se realizó un análisis estadístico para validar la metodología propuesta y se obtuvieron errores estándares entre las metodologías analizadas inferiores al 1%, con desviación estándar inferior al 10%. Se concluye que el método de secado por microondas mostró ser ventajoso en comparación con el método de estufa, resultando adecuado para la determinación del contenido de humedad en muestras de bagazo, con el beneficio de que el tiempo de ejecución es de dos horas, sensiblemente menor que en la metodología tradicional de ocho horas en estufa.","source":"DOAJ","year":2016,"language":"","subjects":["Agriculture","Agricultural industries"],"url":"http://www.scielo.org.ar/pdf/riat/v93n2/v93n2a02.pdf","pdf_url":"http://www.scielo.org.ar/pdf/riat/v93n2/v93n2a02.pdf","is_open_access":true,"published_at":"","score":60},{"id":"doaj_MONITORING+ON+PLANT+LEAF+WATER+POTENTIAL+USING++NIR+SPECTROSCOPY++FOR+WATER+STRESS+MANAGEMENT","title":"MONITORING ON PLANT LEAF WATER POTENTIAL USING  NIR SPECTROSCOPY  FOR WATER STRESS MANAGEMENT","authors":[{"name":"Diding Suhandy"}],"abstract":"\nThe performance of the calibration model with temperature compensation for on-plant leaf water potential (LWP) determination in tomato plants was evaluated. During a cycle of water stress, the on-plant LWP measurement was conducted. The result showed that the LWP values under water stress and recovery from water stress could be monitored well.
