Effects of four controlled release nitrogen (N) fertilizers, including two kinds of polyester coated urea (Ncau, CRU) and phosphate (NhnP) and humic acid (NhnF) coated urea on assimilates accumulation and nitrogen balance of summer maize were investigated in a mode of one-time fertilization at the regional N recommended rate. The results showed that the N release curves of the two controlled release fertilizers CRU and Ncau matched well with the summer maize N uptake. Compared with the regional N recommendation rate, CRU could increase maize yield by 4.2% and Ncau could maintain the same yield level. CRU significantly increased the dry matter accumulation rate after anthesis of summer maize, but Ncau markedly increased the dry matter accumulated ratio before anthesis. Meanwhile, CRU could reduce the apparent N losses by 19 kg N x hm(-2) in the case of large precipitation. However, NhnF and NhnP caused the yield losses by 0.1%-8.9%, and enhanced the apparent N losses. Therefore, both CRU and Ncau with one-time fertilization could be a simplified alternative to the "total control, staging regulation" fertilization technique at the regional N recommended rate for summer maize production.

Agricultural land classification plays a pivotal role in food security and ecological sustainability, yet achieving accurate large-scale mapping remains challenging. This study presents methodological innovations through a multi-level feature enhancement framework that transcends traditional time series analysis. Using Shandong Province, northern China's agricultural heartland, as a case study, we first established a foundation with time series red-edge vegetation indices (REVI) from Sentinel-2 imagery, uniquely combining the normalized difference red edge index (NDRE) and plant senescence reflectance index (PSRI).

Agricultural management increases the seasonal dynamics of soil-dwelling organisms compared to natural habitats. Our knowledge is very poor about the relationship between seasonal changes of soil microorganisms and the microbivorous soil arthropods. To reveal these connections, we have to know more about the seasonal changes of soil-dwelling microarthropods in croplands.

This study aims to determine the changes in the photosynthetic performance of leaves at different leaf positions and their correlation and to screen out the basic tillage methods suitable for improving the yield. The decrease in soil salt content significantly improved the PSII performance index and quantum yield for electron transport of the bottom leaf group, synergistically enhanced the photosynthetic performance of summer maize leaves (especially the bottom leaf group), and enhanced the correlation between the bottom, middle (including the ear leaf), and upper leaf groups. Under subsoiling tillage conditions, the bottom leaves could produce more carbohydrates to meet the normal growth of the root system, promote the photosynthesis of the middle leaf group at the ear position, and increase the nutrient output of the upper leaf group to the female ear in the middle and later stages of maize aging.

Identifying weed species at early-growth stages is critical for precision agriculture. Accurate classification at the species-level enables targeted control measures, significantly reducing pesticide use. This paper presents a dataset of RGB images captured with a Sony ILCE-6300L camera mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying at an altitude of 11 m above ground level.

To analyze the emission characteristics of VOCs from pesticide use sources in Beijing, the distribution of commonly used pesticides and dosage forms in Beijing was obtained through on-site research, and the VOC content of pesticides in different dosage forms was examined using laboratory testing methods. The emission factors of pesticide VOCs for localized dosage forms in Beijing were established, an inventory of pesticide use source VOCs was compiled, and the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of pesticide use source VOCs were analyzed. The results indicated that ① Pesticide dosage forms were the main factors affecting the emission of VOCs from pesticides, and when accounting for VOC emissions from pesticide sources, it is necessary to know the types of pesticides and active ingredients in the target area and obtain information on pesticide dosage forms simultaneously.
