Comparison of yield traits in rice among three mechanized planting methods in a rice-wheat rotation system by Zhi-peng XING, Ya-jie HU, Hai-jun QIAN, Wei-wei CAO, Bao-wei GUO, Hai-yan WEI, Ke XU, Zhong-yang HUO, Gui-sheng ZHOU, Qi-gen DAI, Hong-cheng ZHANG

“…The highest yield was produced by the combination of JIHR and PSMT; (ii) high yield under PSMT was mainly attributed to large sink capacity and high-efficient dry matter accumulation. With sufficient panicles per hectare, the increase of spikelet number per panicle, especially the increase in spikelet number of the secondary rachis-branches was determined to be the optimal approach for developing a large sink capacity for rice under PSMT. …”

High precision water quality retrieval in Dianchi Lake using Gaofen 5 data and machine learning methods by Yuewen Feng, Jun Zhang, Sanjie Guo, Yunbai Zhang, Zhongwei Zhang

“…The results indicated that (1) For all inversion models, the determination coefficients (R2) exceeded 0.85. The Back Propagation Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (BP-NGA) model consistently yielded positive results for most WQI. (2) Water quality in Dianchi varied significantly by region and season. (3) It was recommended to build wetlands and ecological parks on the southwest side of Dianchi and improve sewage interception pipelines on the northeast side to lessen the risk of eutrophication by reducing the inflow of nitrogen and phosphorus.…”
