TubeTracker provides a method to partially automate analysis of pollen tube growth using live imaging. Pollen function is critical for successful plant reproduction and crop productivity and it is important to develop accessible methods to quantitati...
Agriculture, particularly fruit production, is considered a crucial industry with a significant economic impact in many countries. Extreme fluctuations in air temperature can negatively affect the flowering periods of fruit species. Therefore, it is ...
Evaluating compost maturity, e.g. via manual seed germination index (GI) measurement, is both time-consuming and costly during composting. This study employed six machine learning methods, including random forest (RF), extra tree (ET), eXtreme gradie...
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is known to release allelopathic substances to affect the germination and growth of other plants, which have the potential to be applied in controlling weeds. Green foxtail (Setaria viridis) and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa cr...
The measurement of germination index (GI) in composting is a time-consuming and laborious process. This study employed four machine learning (ML) models, namely Random Forest (RF), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Regression (SVR), and...
