“…Its purpose is to mitigate the negative impact of pests and diseases that specifically target certain crops while simultaneously improving soil fertility and overall crop yield 22 . Intercropping is a farming technique that involves cultivating two or more crops together in the same field concurrently 23 . This method optimizes land utilization, promotes biodiversity, reduces the incidence of pests and diseases, and enhances soil fertility through nutrient complementarity.…”

Tomatoes are a major crop worldwide, and accurately classifying their maturity is important for many agricultural applications, such as harvesting, grading, and quality control. In this paper, the authors propose a novel method for tomato maturity classification using a convolutional transformer. The convolutional transformer is a hybrid architecture that combines the strengths of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformers. Additionally, this study introduces a new tomato dataset named KUTomaData, explicitly designed to train deep-learning models for tomato segmentation and classification. KUTomaData is a compilation of images sourced from a greenhouse in the UAE, with approximately 700 images available for training and testing. The dataset is prepared under various lighting conditions and viewing perspectives and employs different mobile camera sensors, distinguishing it from existing datasets. The contributions of this paper are threefold: firstly, the authors propose a novel method for tomato maturity classification using a modular convolutional transformer. Secondly, the authors introduce a new tomato image dataset that contains images of tomatoes at different maturity levels. Lastly, the authors show that the convolutional transformer outperforms state-of-the-art methods for tomato maturity classification. The effectiveness of the proposed framework in handling cluttered and occluded tomato instances was evaluated using two additional public datasets, Laboro Tomato and Rob2Pheno Annotated Tomato, as benchmarks. The evaluation results across these three datasets demonstrate the exceptional performance of our proposed framework, surpassing the state-of-the-art by 58.14%, 65.42%, and 66.39% in terms of mean average precision scores for KUTomaData, Laboro Tomato, and Rob2Pheno Annotated Tomato, respectively. This work can potentially improve the efficiency and accuracy of tomato harvesting, grading, and quality control processes.

“…Biochemical pesticides are products such as plant extracts, plant hormones, pheromones, enzymes, etc., that have the ability to control or hinder the growth of other pathogens. 79 They can be applied as fumigants or incorporated into edible coatings to inhibit the growth of pathogens and extend the shelf life of fruits. They might induce the defense response of fruits by modulating defense related enzymatic activities, strengthening the physical barriers of the fruit, or having direct antimicrobial activity against pathogens to control the diseases.…”

Postharvest diseases caused by fungal pathogens are significant contributors to the postharvest losses of fruits. Moreover, some fungal pathogens produce mycotoxins, which further compromise the safety and quality of fruits. In this review, the potential of biotechnological and biocontrol approaches for mitigating postharvest diseases and mycotoxins in fruits is explored. The review begins by discussing the impact of postharvest diseases on fruit quality and postharvest losses. Next, it provides an overview of major postharvest diseases caused by fungal pathogens. Subsequently, it delves into the role of biotechnological approaches in controlling these diseases. The review also explored the application of biocontrol agents, such as antagonistic yeasts, bacteria, and fungi, which can suppress pathogen growth. Furthermore, future trends and challenges in these two approaches are discussed in detail. Overall, this review can provide insights into promising biotechnological and biocontrol strategies for managing postharvest diseases and mycotoxins in fruits.

UPT Bulupountu Jaya dikenal sebagai salah satu daerah penghasil komoditi sayuran di Kabupaten Sigi – Sulawesi Tengah, dengan jenis sayuran yang diusahakan antara lain: kangkung, bayam, seleda, terong, bawang merah, cabe dan tomat. Produk dari hasil usahatani tersebut selain dijual di pasaran lokal Kota Palu, juga dipasarkan di kawasan perusahan tambang di Kabupaten Morowali. Masalah yang dihadapi oleh petani di UPT Bulupountu Jaya tersebut adalah kurangnya pupuk organik dan pestisida yang aman untuk digunakan dalam usaha budidaya tanaman sayuran. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut tim pelaksana kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat telah bekerjasama dengan salah satu kelompok tani untuk melakukan diseminasi teknologi penggunaan limbah organik rumah tangga dan limbah pertanian-peternakan menjadi biopestisida pupuk organik dan biopestisida / pestisida nabati. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan dan mengedukasi petani mengenai menggunakan limbah organik sebagai sumber pupuk organik pestisida ramah lingkungan. Metode yang diterapkan adalah society parcipatory yaitu masyarakat sebagai mitra dapat menyerap keterampilan dalam pemanfaatan limbah organik dari tim pelaksana dengan bentuk kegiatan berupa ceramah, pelatihan dan demplot percontohan mengenai teknik pengembangan pupuk organik dan biopestisida / pestisida nabati. Hasil yang dicapai adalah masyarakat mengetahui teknik pemanfaatan limbah organik menjadi pupuk organik dan biopestisida serta telah memanfaatkan limbah organik tersebut sebagai sumber pupuk organik dan biopestisida.
