Conservation Agriculture (CA) has been promoted in many Latin American countries as an alternative to sustainable production management because of its ability prevent soil degradation, enhance crop productivity, minimize climate change impact, and protect biodiversity. The main objective this paper was evaluate the effects CA on Soil Quality (SQ) five agroecosystems from Cachipay (Cundinamarca)...

The sperm quality index (SQI) and sperm mobility index (SMI) both predict sperm motility. Previous research was conducted comparing the SMI with the SQI; however, semen was diluted improperly for the SQI (40-fold). For an accurate comparison, semen must be diluted 10-fold for the SQI. Therefore, the overall objective of this study, utilizing 4 experiments, was to examine the relationship of the...

This study aims to assess the soil quality under different land uses by utilizing technique for order preference similarity ideal solution method (TOPSIS) and geostatistical Technique in Northern part of Sohag Governorate, Egypt. Various parameters such as sand, silt, clay content, CEC, ESP OC, ECe, pH, CaCO3 were determined. Afterward, geostatistics approach using ordinary kriging interpolatio...

Abstract Background Soil quality, which can be inferred using indicators that interact synergistically, is affected by land use types and agricultural management practices. This study assessed the status of soil quality under three adjacent uses (cultivated, grazing, fallow) in Kersa subwatershed (622 ha). samples were collected from surface (0–20 cm depth) identified with replications paramete...

The driving factors affecting soil quality were identified to evaluate the effect of vegetation on in coal mine reclamation areas with various restoration durations. This study used Hippophae rhamnoides subsp.sinensis Rousi different durations (3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 years) abandoned land area Juxinlong Ordos as research subject. Artificial grasslands selected study’s controls. A evaluation model wa...

BACKGROUND Within the intensive care unit (ICU), arterial blood pressure (ABP) is typically recorded at different (and sometimes uneven) sampling frequencies, and from different sensors, and is often corrupted by different artifacts and noise which are often non-Gaussian, nonlinear and nonstationary. Extracting robust parameters from such signals, and providing confidences in the estimates is t...

Article develops recommendations for the use of reducing (incentive) coefficients in land tax calculation on agricultural lands, taking into account quality and interrelation between an increase decrease soil fertility, which leads to tax. In calculating taxation, this is formed based normative value land. The inextricably linked with index (SQI), determines fertility soil. As decreasing increa...

The high demand of rice is fulfilled by intensification, particularly with the use chemical fertilizer that allegedly causes land and environmental problems in a long term. As public awareness health rises, more fields are managed organically semi-organically, but there still many manage inorganically. Assessment soil quality three types field management important to prove organic have better t...
