Learning crop management by reinforcement: gym-DSSAT
We introduce gym-DSSAT, a gym environment for crop management tasks, that is easy to use for training Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents. gym-DSSAT is based on DSSAT, a state-of-the-art mechanistic crop growth simulator. We modify DSSAT so that an external software agent can interact with it to control the actions performed in a crop field during a...

L'arbre d'or et l'économie politique : Une histoire de la culture du mûrier en France (XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles)
Cette thèse propose de prendre pour objet la culture du mûrier en France à l’époque moderne dans une perspective qui croise histoire politique, histoire des savoirs et histoire rurale. « L’arbre d’or », fondement de l’industrie de la soie, apparaît comme la première plante cultivée dont l’État royal entreprend d’orienter et de contrôler le développ...
Stics Soil Crop Model. Conceptual Framework, Equations and Uses
The STICS crop model has been developed since 1996 at INRA (French National Institute for Agronomic Research) in collaboration with other research and technical institutes. The model syntheses, illustrates and concretizes an important part of the French agronomic knowledge as a point of view on the field and cropping systems working. The formalisat...
Integrated hydroponics systems with anaerobic supernatant and aquaculture effluent in desert regions : Nutrient recovery...
Hydroponics is a resource-efficient system that increases food production and enhances the overall sustainability of agricultural systems, particularly in arid zones with prevalent water scarcity and limited areas of arable land. This study investigated zero-waste hydroponics systems fed by agricultural waste streams as nutrient sources under deser...
Biocontrol Strategies Against Grapevine Trunk Diseases Using Endophytic and Rhizospheric Bacteria and Reassessment of th...
Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are caused by multiple unrelated fungal pathogens, and their management is challenging for growers around the world. The current trend of reducing the use of synthetic fungicides makes biocontrol an environmentally friendly strategy to mitigate the impact of GTDs. In this dissertation, a survey that was carried out i...
Evaluating the removal of paclobutrazol from captured irrigation runoff using slow sand filters
In this study, a pilot scale slow sand filtration system was evaluated for biodegradation of the plant growth regulator paclobutrazol from recaptured irrigation leachate in a simulated greenhouse environment. Generated irrigation runoff containing 0.05 mg·L-1 paclobutrazol passed through 1-meter-deep slow sand filter sand beds for a period lasting ...
Control of Echinochloa spp. and Leptochloa fascicularis with the Novel Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor Herbicide ...
California water-seeded rice is an intensely managed monoculture system that heavily relies on chemical weed control methods. The reliance and overuse of herbicide applications for weed management in continuous rice has led to an increase in selective pressure on already highly competitive weed species therefore leading to wide spread herbicide res...
