Improper water management in rice cultivation can lead to water stress, which reduces productivity. Conventional monitoring has limitations on large-scale lands, necessitating more efficient remote sensing technologies. This study aims to develop a water stress identification system for rice plants in the late vegetative phase using multispectral drone imagery integrated with an Artificial neural network (ANN). The research method employs an experimental approach with six water availability levels in Karyamukti Village, Sumedang. Field reference data were obtained through soil moisture sensors converted into Available Water (AW) values. Image processing stages included orthomosaic reconstruction, leaf object segmentation, and transformation of vegetation indices (NDVI, NDRE, GNDVI, etc.) as model inputs. The results show that the ANN model with a four-hidden-layer architecture achieved training and validation accuracies of 94–95%. In the independent testing phase, the model produced an accuracy of 94.60% with an F1-Score of 93.33%. Spatial visualization of the prediction results indicates a consistent water condition distribution across rice plots. In conclusion, the integration of multispectral drones and ANN provides an accurate non-destructive solution for spatial monitoring of water availability in rice plants.

Detection and identification of plant diseases is critical to the success and efficiency of agricultural production. Plant disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent throughout the world, and the presence of these diseases in cultivated plants has a significant impact on productivity. Therefore, researchers are focusing on developing effective and reliable plant disease detection methods. Thus, farmers can take advantage of early detection of this disease to minimize future losses. This article discusses machine learning approaches as well as decision trees, K-nearest neighbors, naive Bayes, support vector machines (SVM), and random forests for detecting coffee leaf diseases using leaf images. The above-mentioned classifications were researched and compared to determine the most suitable plant disease prediction model with the highest accuracy. Compared with other classification algorithms, the SVM algorithm achieves the highest accuracy of 99.75%. All the models trained above will be used by farmers to quickly identify and classify new diseases in images as a prevention strategy. As a preventive measure, farmers can detect and classify new diseases in images early.

The discharge of surfactant-laden wastewater from the rapidly expanding laundry industry poses significant environmental risks, especially in densely populated urban areas. While constructed wetlands (CWs) and Eco-Enzyme technology have shown promise for surfactant remediation, their standalone application requires long hydraulic retention times (HRTs), limiting practical implementation. This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel integrated system combining a subsurface constructed wetland (SSFCW) with fruit peel-derived Eco-Enzyme to treat synthetic laundry wastewater. Over a 6-day treatment period, the combined system achieved a remarkable surfactant removal efficiency of 99.63%, reducing the concentration from 225 mg/L to 0.835 mg/L—well below the regulatory threshold of 3 mg/L. The synergistic degradation mechanism involves enzymatic hydrolysis via Eco-Enzyme lipase and protease activity, complemented by microbial mineralization in the wetland rhizosphere. This system maintains optimal environmental conditions, with a stable pH of 6.85-7.32 and a temperature of 30.9-35.2°C, supporting robust biological activity. These findings demonstrate that the integrated Eco-Enzyme/SSFCW system overcomes the limitations of conventional HRT approaches, offering a highly efficient, sustainable, and practical decentralized wastewater treatment solution for the laundry industry.  

Flower disease detection is a common challenge in modern agriculture. Various factors, such as changes in leaf color, shape, petal structure, and environmental conditions, make it difficult to achieve high accuracy with conventional models. Transfer learning is an effective solution to improve model performance in image detection, especially when available data is limited. This study used several pre-trained models, namely VGG16, ResNet50, and EfficientNet-B0, to detect three types of flower diseases: black spot on roses, white powdery mildew, and leaf rust. The process included data processing, increasing the data volume, model training, and result verification. The results showed that the EfficientNet-B0 model provided the highest accuracy of 97.2%, significantly better than the CNN model created from scratch with an accuracy of 85.1%. This study proves that the transfer learning method is very effective in improving the accuracy of flower disease detection. These results confirm that transfer learning is effective for detecting plant diseases with higher accuracy, especially when the dataset is limited.
