Accurate counting information is important for crop yield and quality. Obtaining yield estimation of Chinese Yam is critical to improving productivity. Referring to the method of counting pedestrian flow in surveillance video and its accuracy, a method for counting the number of Chinese Yams harvested in the field is proposed by improving YOLOv5s detection combined with Deep-SORT tracking. In order to improve the recognition effect of the detector, the attention module CBAM is fused with the Neck part of the YOLOv5s network to improve the feature extraction ability of the network; CIoU Loss is used instead of GIoU Loss as the target bounding box regression loss function to speed up the bounding box regression rate while improving positioning Accuracy; use DIoU-NMS to replace NMS to improve the missed detection problem when the target is crowded.Adjust the structure of the Deep SORT appearance feature extraction network and retrain on the yam re-identification dataset to reduce the identity switching caused by target occlusion. Connect the improved YOLOv5s detector and Deep SORT, and set a virtual detection line in the video to count the number of yams.The experimental results show that the number of yams can be counted more accurately. Compared with the original algorithm, the improved YOLOv5s has an average accuracy rate of 2.1 percentage points. Combined with Deep-SORT tracking, the counting statistics accuracy rate reaches 92.7%.
The most common method used for collection of mahua flowers by burning the undergrowth under mahua trees which often caused forest fire and loss or flora and fauna of nature. The comparative analysis of traditional flower collection vis-a-vis net collection was analyzed during the research. The most significant benefits were on prices, time reduction and quality of products. These benefits will encourage the adoption of this technique by forest dwelling communities for mahua collection. The net collected flowers sold at 110 to 120 ₹ compared with 25–30 ₹ with traditional collection (p < 5 ₹). The time and manpower reduced by 80% (p < 1%) in net collection. Total 87.95 K MT mahua exported from India with value of 70.01 million USD in FY 2022. India rank 7th in global export of Mahua in 2022. Nearly 75% of entire tribal household in the country are involved in the collection of mahua flower which will contributes up to 30% of their annual cash income. To handle mahua around 11 lakh peoples are directly involved and 20 to 25 lakh peoples indirectly involved. To produce liquid >90% mahua utilized in India. During this research post-harvest unit operations also standardized. New food product like syrup, cookies, jam, spread, jelly, gummies, energy drink, beverages, hard-boiled candies development were done, and stabilities were conducted with utilization of 10% to 60% mahua.

A look at the treatment of the contents of Agroecology as a component of agricultural education in Biology 1by Luis Daniel Alonso Gómez, Franciss Brown Smith, Yordanka Castro Ramos
Probe - Plant & Animal Sciences, Vol.1, No.1, 2024;54 Views, 0 PDF Downloads
Currently, the study of Agroecology as a component of agricultural education in the subject of Biology 1 and the treatment of its contents at the basic secondary educational level is of great importance. Agricultural education is of vital importance to achieve sustainable development, adopting environmental, economic and social policies based on agroecological principles related to food production and local development from the Cuban educational system. In this sense, it is necessary for teachers to promote and encourage students towards the use of agroecological practices to contribute to the education of current and future generations in love and respect for rurality and for the school to become an extensionist of the agrarian culture. The objective of this article is: to systematize the theoretical foundations of Agroecology as a component of agricultural education and the treatment of its contents, promoting agroecological practices on the basis of food sovereignty and security. To achieve this objective, theoretical (analytical-synthetic; inductive-deductive) and empirical (observation; documentary analysis and interview) methods were used. The importance of this work lies in seventh grade students being able to develop agroecological practices in school, family and community with a view to finding possible solutions to the problems associated with production processes to support family food security.

Call for Papers for the Special Issue: Probe - Plant and Animal Sciences
2019-04-19
This special issue will be about Agriculture and Diseases, and will attract research papers and review articles on this topic. This issue can touch major portions of agriculture like genetic diversity, plant breeding & genetics, effect of diseases on animal and plants whether viral, bacterial or fungal, and study of disease resistance in them. The importance of this special issue is to completely understand about the agriculture and the diseases affecting it severely. We can also understand the research processes involved in the improvement and development of agriculture.
