But this requires manual assessment in the field – a process that is both labour intensive and subjective.
In response to the problem of saline-alkali land in the Yellow River irrigation area, Helan County in Ningxia has vigorously promoted the "rice-fish integrated planting and breeding" and "fishing to control alkali" models. Through three-dimensional circulation planting, the soil structure is improved, and the saline-alkali barren land is turned into a fertile land rich in rice and fish fertilizer, which increases the income of farmers and provides a reference example for ecological protection in the Yellow River Basin.

Tainan Zoumare Farm held the "Dance for You, Dance for Me" Forage Festival, which focused on agricultural experience, parent-child games and performances, combined with creative forage cooking and DIY activities.

The Tainan District Agricultural Improvement Center pointed out that the warm autumn and dry climate has increased the risk of small pests such as southern spotted leafhoppers, thrips, and moths in the mid-growth period of groundnut growth. Southern spotted leafhoppers can spread leaf cluster disease and affect flowering and fruiting. Thrips damage young leaves and flower organs and reduce the pod setting rate. When moth larvae eat leaves and pods, they eat all the leaf flesh. It calls on farmers to prevent and treat the disease early and refer to the plant protection information system to select registered pesticides.

The price of Muscadine grapes in South Korea has experienced an avalanche, with prices shrinking by nearly 90% in three years. Fruit farmer Liu Changyu pointed out that the current selling price is lower than the production cost, resulting in the loss of one box sold. The main reason is that the planting area has increased by more than 23 times in seven years, the market is seriously oversupplied, and some farmers have harvested early, which affects the quality, further damaging market confidence.
