In order to solve the problem of an accurate recognition of tea picking through tea picking robots, an edge device detection method is proposed in this paper based on ShuffleNetv2-YOLOv5-Lite-E for tea with one bud and two leaves. This replaces the original feature extraction network by removing the Focus layer and using the ShuffleNetv2 algorithm, followed by a channel pruning of YOLOv5 at the neck layer head, thus achieving the purpose of reducing the model size. The results show that the size of the improved generated weight file is 27% of that of the original YOLOv5 model, and the mAP value of ShuffleNetv2-YOLOv5-Lite-E is 97.43% and 94.52% on the pc and edge device respectively, which are 1.32% and 1.75% lower compared to that of the original YOLOv5 model. The detection speeds of ShuffleNetv2-YOLOv5-Lite-E, YOLOv5, YOLOv4, and YOLOv3 were 8.6 fps, 2.7 fps, 3.2 fps, and 3.4 fps respectively after importing the models into an edge device, and the improved YOLOv5 detection speed was 3.2 times faster than that of the original YOLOv5 model. Through the detection method, the size of the original YOLOv5 model is effectively reduced while essentially ensuring recognition accuracy. The detection speed is also significantly improved, which is conducive to the realization of intelligent and accurate picking for future tea gardens, laying a solid foundation for the realization of tea picking robots.

To investigate different contents of pu-erh tea polyphenol affected by abiotic stress, this research determined the contents of tea polyphenol in teas produced by Yuecheng, a Xishuangbanna-based tea producer in Yunnan Province. The study drew a preliminary conclusion that eight factors, namely, altitude, nickel, available cadmium, organic matter, N, P, K, and alkaline hydrolysis nitrogen, had a considerable influence on tea polyphenol content with a combined analysis of specific altitudes and soil composition. The nomogram model constructed with three variables, altitude, organic matter, and P, screened by LASSO regression showed that the AUC of the training group and the validation group were respectively 0.839 and 0.750, and calibration curves were consistent. A visualized prediction system for the content of pu-erh tea polyphenol based on the nomogram model was developed and its accuracy rate, supported by measured data, reached 80.95%. This research explored the change of tea polyphenol content under abiotic stress, laying a solid foundation for further predictions for and studies on the quality of pu-erh tea and providing some theoretical scientific basis.

To explore the changes in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) content in tea under abiotic stress conditions, we collected tea samples, along with corresponding soil and altitude data, and utilized the measured data for single-factor analysis. At the same time, the LASSO regression method, which is rarely used in agriculture, was employed to screen modeling factors, a prediction model was established, and the Akaike information criterion (AIC) was introduced to compare the goodness of fit. The results show that LASSO screening reduced the AIC value of the model by 13.8%. The average area under the curve of the training set and the validation set was 0.81 and 0.76, respectively, and the calibration curve also showed good consistency. Based on the nomogram model, a visual prediction system was developed, and the content prediction curve was introduced for detailed soil evaluation. The accuracy rate reached 75% after external verification. This study provides a theoretical basis for elucidating the prediction and intervention of Pu’er tea quality under abiotic stress conditions.
