In this paper, a Potential Bio-Disease Tracking and Tracing Algorithm based on RFID System (PBDT) is proposed. Bio-information of cultivation and disease prevention are important for the agriculture economy. The RFID system is used to record the information (cultivation history) and for identifying different objects.. In addition, the location (before and current) of the objects and the transpo...

Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) systems have attracted the attention of many software implementers on the area of multimedia applications, however very few of them have been used in agriculture. The necessity for using the CSCW environment in agriculture arises from the utilization and the rapid development of modern strategies of plant cultivation. In this paper we present the des...

cultivation of high efficacy crops in resource utilization, especially with higher water and radiation use efficiencies is one of the important strategies to achieve the goals of sustainable agriculture. align with these guidelines and in order to estimate light extinction coefficient and radiation use efficiency of sesame a split plot arrangement of two factors based on randomized complete blo...

Soil temperature influences crop growth and quality under field and greenhouse conditions; however, precise investigation using controlled cultivation systems is largely lacking. We investigated effects of root-zone temperatures on growth and components of hydroponically grown red leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Red Wave) under a controlled cultivation system at 20 ̊C. Compared with ambient ...

Since the first commercial release of genetically modified (GM, also referred to as genetically engineered, GE) crops in the middle of 1990s, the research and development of transgenic biotechnology has made dramatic progress. To date, global cultivation area of GM crops has exceeded 120 million hectares (James, 2009) with extensive cultivation of herbicide-tolerant soybean and canola, insect-r...

Horticulture is an important subsector of agriculture. The potential of horticultural crops has not yet been fully explored or exploited in Bangladesh. More than 90 vegetables and 60 fruits are grown in Bangladesh, with great regional variation in the extent of cultivation. The cultivated area given to fruits and vegetables is 0.52 million hectares, covering 3.7 percent of total cropped area. V...

Vegetable crops hold a key position in agricultural production worldwide, and the Asian regions such as East, Southeast and South are among the top regions for their exports and imports. However, many pests and diseases threaten the profitability of this agricultural sector, and improving the productivity and quality of vegetables can enhance food security, employment and trade opportunities. F...
