AgroOmni: A Large-Scale Multi-view Agricultural Dataset for Cross-Scale Multimodal Reasoning

Modern agricultural data is sourced from diverse platforms and spans multiple spatial scales, ranging from ground-level close-up photography to Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) aerial observation and satellite remote sensing imagery. Accordingly, agricultural multimodal reasoning demands robust cross-scale spatial understanding. However, due to the lack of multi-view agricultural benchmark datasets, existing multimodal large language models (MLLMs) exhibit severe ground-level bias, which leads to scale confusion then semantic collapse in agricultural perception tasks, such as misinterpreting farmland imagery as walls or floors. To address this, we introduce AgroOmni, a large-scale multi-view training corpus with 288K Visual Question Answering pairs covering 56 specialized task categories across 14 task types, designed to capture diverse scales in modern precision agriculture. Built on this dataset, we propose AgroNVILA, which achieves a new state-of-the-art of 62.32% on the AgroMind benchmark (+15.03% over GPT-5.2), effectively mitigating the multi-view cross-scale gap for holistic agricultural understanding. Diagnostic evaluations on AgMMU further reveal an inherent heterogeneity between macro-priors and micro-diagnostics through constrained zero-shot performance. Meanwhile, even minimal fine-tuning leads to a dramatic performance gain of AgroNVILA on AgMMU, strongly demonstrating its generalization capability empowered by AgroOmni.

AgroCoT: A Chain-of-Thought Benchmark for Evaluating Reasoning in Vision-Language Models for Agriculture

Recent advancements in Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have significantly impacted various industries. In agriculture, these multimodal capabilities hold great promise for applications such as precision farming, crop monitoring, pest detection, and environmental sustainability. However, while several Visual Question Answering (VQA) datasets and benchmarks have been developed to assess VLM performance, they often fail to effectively evaluate the critical reasoning and problem-solving skills needed in complex agricultural contexts. To address this gap, we introduce AgroCoT, a VQA dataset that integrates Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning, specifically designed to evaluate the reasoning capabilities of VLMs. With 4,759 carefully curated samples, AgroCoT provides a comprehensive and robust evaluation of reasoning abilities, particularly in zero-shot scenarios, focusing on the models' ability to engage in logical reasoning and effective problem-solving. Our evaluation of 30 representative VLMs, including both proprietary and open-source models, reveals a gap in their reasoning capabilities, which underscores the importance of incorporating CoT for assessments. Our dataset is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/AgroCoT/AgroCoT.

Can Large Multimodal Models Understand Agricultural Scenes? Benchmarking with AgroMind

Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) has demonstrated capabilities across various domains, but comprehensive benchmarks for agricultural remote sensing (RS) remain scarce. Existing benchmarks designed for agricultural RS scenarios exhibit notable limitations, primarily in terms of insufficient scene diversity in the dataset and oversimplified task design. To bridge this gap, we introduce AgroMind, a comprehensive agricultural remote sensing benchmark covering four task dimensions: spatial perception, object understanding, scene understanding, and scene reasoning, with a total of 13 task types, ranging from crop identification and health monitoring to environmental analysis. We curate a high-quality evaluation set by integrating eight public datasets and one private farmland plot dataset, containing 27,247 QA pairs and 19,615 images. The pipeline begins with multi-source data pre-processing, including collection, format standardization, and annotation refinement. We then generate a diverse set of agriculturally relevant questions through the systematic definition of tasks. Finally, we employ LMMs for inference, generating responses, and performing detailed examinations. We evaluated 20 open-source LMMs and 4 closed-source models on AgroMind. Experiments reveal significant performance gaps, particularly in spatial reasoning and fine-grained recognition, it is notable that human performance lags behind several leading LMMs. By establishing a standardized evaluation framework for agricultural RS, AgroMind reveals the limitations of LMMs in domain knowledge and highlights critical challenges for future work.
