Field crops change continuously across growth stages, exhibit substantial spatial heterogeneity, and must be managed within short operational windows. This study presents a structured narrative review of information sensing and intelligent monitoring from pre-sowing conditions to stand establishment, growth and yield f...
Agricultural soil contact components, including ploughshares, rotary blades, and furrow openers, form the active interface between machinery and complex field media. Operating in multiphase environments, these tools face severe abrasive wear, impact fatigue, and interfacial adhesion. These destructive forces irreversib...

Industrial chili peppers are specialized varieties primarily used for the extraction of capsaicinoids and paprika red. Their post-harvest processing level directly affects product quality and industrial economic benefits. Most existing studies have focused on a single unit operation or on edible chili peppers, and a sy...

Grapes intended for fresh consumption, winemaking, raisin production and processing differ markedly in quality requirements and tolerance to harvest damage, making a universally suitable mechanised harvesting pathway unlikely. This review synthesises low-damage grape harvesting from an end use-oriented sustainability p...
Mulched drip irrigation is an important water-saving production system for soybean cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions. However, soybean materials harvested from this system exhibit specific physical characteristics, including relatively dry pods and seeds and high stem moisture content. This study characterized...
Agrivoltaic systems configure photovoltaic power generation and agricultural production within the same land space, providing a new pathway for alleviating the conflict between energy development and farmland conservation; however, array shading and structural constraints also alter crop growth and agricultural equipme...

Strawberry production is economically important but remains highly dependent on labour-intensive harvesting. The delicate texture, irregular distribution, and non-uniform maturity of strawberry fruit create substantial challenges for mechanised and robotic operations. This review examines the development of strawberry-...
Driven by the escalating global agricultural workforce shortage and the urgent need to meet the “Zero Hunger” mandate, the automation of harvest–transport workflows has emerged as a cornerstone of Agriculture 4.0. This paper highlights the latest research progress in multi-robot collaborative logistics scheduling acros...
