Sustainable development can be possible in rainfed agriculture by integrated approach of soil management measures. Soil quality the form a quantitative index is used as an indicator environmental and sustainability. Twelve farms selected to achieve targets present investigation (six under traditional system six with supplemental irrigation) at Northwestern Coastal Zone (NWCZ). These varied land...

Integration of flue gas desulfurized gypsum (FGD-gypsum) with cover crops is expected to improve soil quality (SQ). Our objectives were evaluate the impact FGD-gypsum and rye on SQ contribution core indicators account for variability in a rainfed corn-soybean system. A completely randomized design (CRD) two rates (control vs. 1,120 kg/ha) x rye) was conducted. Results showed that both crop vari...

Management systems influence soil quality over time. A randomized block design in 2 (tillage system) 3 (crop rotation) factorial arrangement was laid-out to evaluate the impact of tillage and crop rotation (2002–2007) on soil quality. Conventional tillage and No-till were factored into continuous corn, corn–soybean, and corn–soybean–wheat–Cowpea systems. Ten soil cores were collected at 0–7.5, ...

India has one of the largest assemblages of tropical biodiversity, with its unique floristic composition of endemic species. However, current forest cover assessment is performed via satellite-based forest surveys, which have many limitations. The present study, which was performed in the Eastern Ghats, analysed the satellite-based inventory provided by forest surveys and inferred from the resu...

As the global population grows, demand for food increases and puts a strain on production systems agricultural productivity, causing soil degradation. Soil quality indexes (SQIs) have been developed to maintain improve quality. However, due variety of soils SQIs, analyzing comparing results has historically difficult. Therefore, in this study, we carried out systematic review with meta-analysis...

A photoplethysmogram (PPG) is a noninvasive circulatory signal related to the pulsatile volume of blood in tissue and is typically collected by pulse oximeters. PPG signals collected via mobile devices are prone to artifacts that negatively impact measurement accuracy, which can lead to a significant number of misleading diagnoses. Given the rapidly increased use of mobile devices to collect PP...
