The water crisis is going to be a major problem in all sectors including agriculture the very future. In agriculture, tackle this deficit of availability, make sure food security for rising population with scarce resource, increase productivity and use efficiency environment-friendly drip irrigation technology being adopted. It widely utilized high-value horticultural, plantation, sugarcane mor...

Abstract Marine macroalgae such as Ulva intestinalis have promising properties feedstock for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. However, since the quantity quality of naturally grown algae vary widely, their exploitability is reduced – especially producers in high-priced markets. Moreover, expansion marine or shore-based cultivation systems unlikely Europe, sites either lie fishing zones, recreatio...

In this paper, a power-controllable light emitting diode (LED) control system is proposed for plant cultivation. The proposed LED system measures environmental data, such as the distance between the plant and LED system using an infrared sensor and the ambient illuminance based on an illuminance sensor. Then, it converts the illuminance to the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) for plant...

Weed infestation of durum wheat was determined in the systems of conventional tillage(CT), reduced tillage (RT) and herbicide tillage (HT). Cultivations measures performed after theharvest of the previous crop included shallow ploughing (at a depth of 10-12 cm) and pre-winterploughing (25-30 cm) in the CT system; only field cultivation (10-15 cm) in the RT system; andspraying with glyphosate (R...

“Everything is everywhere, but the environment selects the best duo’’; natural selection holds the key to the relationship between the micro-algal communities in Lake Mälaren and the activated sludge organisms in the municipal wastewater of Västerås. Interest in microalgae-based activated sludge wastewater treatment has been increasing in recent decades as a way to meet the demand for sustainab...
