Optimizing agricultural productivity and promoting sustainability necessitates accurate predictions of crop yields to ensure food security. Various climatic variables are included in the analysis, encompassing type, year, season, specific conditions Indian state during crop’s growing season. Features such as season were one-hot encoded. The primary objective was predict yield using a deep neural network (DNN), with hyperparameters optimized through genetic algorithms (GAs) maximize R2 score. best-performing model, achieved by fine-tuning its hyperparameters, an 0.92, meaning it explains 92% variation yields, indicating high predictive accuracy. DNN models further analyzed explainable AI (XAI) techniques, specifically local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME), elucidate feature importance enhance model interpretability. analysis underscored significant role features crops, leading incorporation additional dataset classify most optimal crops based on more detailed soil climate data. This classification task also executed GA-optimized DNN, aiming results demonstrate effectiveness this approach predicting classifying crops.

Characterization of fungal spider pathogens lags far behind their insect counterparts. In addition, little to nothing is known concerning the ecological reservoir and/or entomopathogen community surrounding infection sites. Five infected cadavers were identified in neo-tropical climate north-central Florida, USA, from three which viable cultures obtained. Multi-locus molecular phylogenetic and morphological characterization one isolate as a new Gibellula species, here named, floridensis, other isolates highly similar Parengyodontium album. The spiders was sampled at different habitats/trophic levels, including soil, leaf litter, leaf, twig, analyzed using ITS amplicon sequencing. These data revealed broad but differential distribution insect-pathogenic fungi between habitats variation sites, with members genera belonging Metarhizium Metacordyceps Clavicipitaceae, Purpureocillium Polycephalomyces Ophiocordyceps, Akanthomyces Simplicillium Cordycipitaceae predominating. However, no sequences corresponding or Parengyodontium, even could be detected. Potential explanations for these findings are discussed. highlight novel discovery open broader question regarding environmental niches such host-specific pathogens.

The Xiong’an New Area, following the precedent of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Pudong marks a significant development. This study introduces method to optimize feature variable selection for Sentinel-2 images from 2016 2022, aiming precise land-use classification in using machine learning. reveals substantial growth infrastructure aquatic areas Rongcheng Xiongxian counties, outpacing Anxin 2022. Remote Sensing-Based Ecological Index (RSEI) indicates generally stable yet improving ecological landscape, especially denser like Rongcheng, aligning regional development with enhancement. EOF analysis shows spatial division, positive RSEI values western regions negative east, along temporal fluctuations indicating decline west an increase east since 2017. Additionally, RSEI’s short-cycle emphasize dynamic state area, influenced by both long-term trends transient factors.
