A simple and convenient liquid chromatographic method has been developed and applied to the analysis of the novel aminothiazolecarboxamide fungicide, ethaboxam, in soil and crops. After the isolation and concentration of analyte from soil and crops, clean-up and separation of sample solutions are performed by high-performance liquid chromatography with online solid-phase extraction. Good linear...

Climate change will cause geographic range shifts for pollinators and major crops, with global implications for food security and rural livelihoods. However, little is known about the potential for coupled impacts of climate change on pollinators and crops. Coffee production exemplifies this issue, because large losses in areas suitable for coffee production have been projected due to climate c...

This study aimed to analyse and evaluate the land suitability for certain fruit trees in Thuy Bang commune using GIS techniques in combination with a multi-criteria approach. At first, the databases for GIS analyses had to be developed. The data were obtained through scientific literature review, expert opinions, interviews, and professional officers. The suitability assessment in the studied a...

land suitability analysis, commonly known as land evaluation, is considered an interface between land resourcesurvey and land use planning and management. land evaluation be carried out to estimate the suitability of land fora specific use such as arable farming or irrigated agriculture. there are several established techniques for generatingland suitability evaluation. this research was carrie...

The Government of Nepal has identified opportunities in agricultural commercialization, responding to a growing internal demand and expansion of export markets to reduce the immense trade deficit. Several cash crops, including coffee and bananas, have been identified in the recently approved Agriculture Development Strategy. Both of these crops have encouraged smallholder farmers to convert the...

Site-specific crop management (SSCM) is one facet of precision agriculture which is helping increase production with minimal input. It has enhanced the cost-benefit scenario in crop production. Even though the SSCM is very widely used in row crop agriculture like corn, wheat, rice, soybean, etc. it has very little application in cash crops like fruit and nut. The main goal of this review paper ...

Fuzzy clustering is a data analysis technique that, when applied to a set of heterogeneous items, identifies homogenous subgroups as defined by a given model or measure of similarity in fuzzy environment. Moreover, fuzzy clustering methodology has been developed and used in variety of areas like biology, computer science, engineering, medicine etc. In this paper, fuzzy cluster model is develope...
