Ensuring global food security has become a matter of great concern with the constantly increasing population growth, resulting in rising demands. Simultaneously, climate change and land degradation pose major risks to agricultural production. Maize is one most produced crops globally maize yields must be increased meet population’s needs. Fertilisation considered indispensable for crop growth d...

In Hungary, irrigation determines the success of water-intensive beet cultivation. Taking into account guidelines circular economy, we investigated effect with pre-treated nutrient-rich effluent from an intensive catfish-farm on growth stages sugar and fodder beet. two-year-experiment (2020, 2021), two (‘Helenika’, ‘Grandiosa’) (‘Rózsaszín Béta’, ‘Béta Vöröshenger’) cultivars were grown. additi...

The screening of 114 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes (61 advanced breeding lines and 53 releasedcultivars) was undertaken in the plots to identify iron-efficient tolerant lime-induced ironchlorosis.The crop grown intensity chlorosis top five leaves rated for visual chlorotic rating(VCR) score on a 1-5 scale percentage plants showing deficiency symptoms at 10, 20, 30 65 daysafter emerg...

Nowadays the global climate change significantly affects agricultural production due to different biotic and abiotic stresses. Phythopathogens, like fusarium, can cause serious injury which could be worsened by climatic conditions. The goal of our experiment was examine single combined effect nitrogen (N) deprivation Fusarium graminearum infection on physiology some maize genotypes. Furthermore...

In the past decades different methods based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) have been developed to image a variety of hemodynamic parameters in tissue. However, simultaneous high resolution imaging of oxyand deoxyhemoglobin is not yet possible in clinical practices with millimeter accuracy. Nearinfrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a well established techniq...

CMOS Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) arrays are emerging as appealing solid-state detectors in imaging applications where high sensitivity and timing resolution are required. In this work, a 32x32-pixel array where SPAD digital output is processed in the analog domain in a 12-transistor pixel is presented. A 25m pixel pitch with a remarkable 20.8% fill factor was achieved thanks to a very...

10 Effects of crop growth and physiological activity to drought and irrigation regimes 11 have been extensively studied; however, the responses of plant growth, morphological 12 and photosynthetic behaviors to drought episodes and thereafter rewatering receive a 13 less attention. This field experiment was carried out directly in situ at an agricultural 14 ecosystem research station during 2015...

We present the challenges of using single-photon avalanche diodes in large arrays and the architectures employed in the readout systems. We also discuss the elements that make these imagers appealing for some applications and why.
