A device includes an image data receiving component, a vegetation index generation component, a crop data receiving component, a masking component and a multivariate regression component. The image data receiving component receives image data of a geographic region. The vegetation index generation component generates an array of vegetation indices based on the received image data, and includes a plurality of vegetation index generating components, each operable to generate a respective individual vegetation index based on the received image data. The crop data receiving component receives crop data associated with the geographic region. The masking component generates a masked vegetation index based on the array of vegetation indices and the received crop data. The multivariate regression component generates a crop parameter based on the masked vegetation index.

A method for cultivating a plant includes applying allantoin to a plant; exposing the plant to a temperature of about 30 C. or more for at least about 60 minutes; and growing the plant in a cultivation medium.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve evaluation accuracy of a photographed image when an event occurs. An image evaluation method according to the present invention includes steps, which are carried out by a server, for: storing, in a plurality of storage units, organism images each corresponding to a mode of an organism and outbreak environment information indicating the range of environment information suited for a mode of an organism; receiving a photographed image transmitted from a portable terminal; receiving environment information measured by a sensor terminal from the sensor terminal; retrieving organism images similar to the received photographed image among a plurality of organism images and assigning scores to names each related to the mode of an organism corresponding to the retrieved organism image; extracting names each related to the mode of an organism associated with outbreak environment information including the environment information received from the sensor terminal; assigning a weight to the scores of the extracted names; and transmitting a name, having the highest score among the plurality of scores as an evaluation result name, to the portable terminal that has transmitted the photographed image.

The present technology relates to an information processing device and an information processing method, in which Synecoculture (registered trademark) can be assisted.

An ecosystem object indicating an ecosystem constituent configuring an ecosystem of an agricultural field in which a plurality of types of vegetation are mixed up and a task object indicating a task performed with respect to the ecosystem constituent are acquired, and the ecosystem object is subjected to augmented reality (AR) display in a position in a predetermined background space, corresponding to a real position of the ecosystem constituent, and the task object is subjected to AR display in the background space. The present technology, for example, can be applied to a case or the like where information of assisting Synecoculture (registered trademark) is provided.

The present technology relates to a program, an information processing device, and an information processing method capable of providing a combination of biological species appropriate for constructing a target ecosystem.

For each of a plurality of combinations of biological species selected from a plurality of biological species, an interaction network representing an interaction between a main biological species and a sub-biological species is constructed using the main biological species that is a biological species constituting the combination and the sub-biological species that is another biological species that causes an interaction with the main biological species as nodes, and a presentation combination that is a combination of biological species to be presented is decided according to evaluation of the interaction network obtained by evaluating the interaction network by an evaluation method regarding an ecosystem. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an ecosystem support system that provides a combination of biological species appropriate for an ecosystem.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a spider mite control method that makes it possible to achieve high control effects without using a miticide. A spider mite control method in which nano-bubble water is applied to a plant.
