Supplemental monochromatic red light mitigates salt-induced stress in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants Open
The use of supplemental light spectra is emerging as a promising strategy to enhance plant tolerance to abiotic stress. This study examines the role of red (R) LED light in modulating the response of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants to s…
Web Application for Crop Insurance Settlement Through Public Blockchain Open
Efficient implementation of crop insurance schemes in India has been hampered by delays, lack of transparency, and poor farmer engagement. This paper presents the design and development of a web-based crop insurance application aimed at st…
INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT WEEDING REGIME ON THE GROWTH OF SOYBEAN (Glycine max L.) IN DAMATURU, SUDAN SAVANNAH, YOBE STATE, NIGERIA Open
Weed infestation remains one of the major challenges of soybean (Glycine max L.) production in Nigeria, especially in the Sudan Savanna agro-ecological zone. This study was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Department of A…
Performance of Safflower Varieties under Different Dates of Sowing and Crop-weather Relationships Open
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2022 at the Zonal Agriculture and Horticulture Research Station, Hiriyur, Chitradurga. The experiment site is situated at 130 57' 32" North latitude and 700 37' 38" East longitude with an altitu…

Two-Stage Genetic Algorithm Offline Parameter Optimization of Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter for Robust Battery State-Of-Charge Estimation Open
Accurately estimating battery state of charge (SOC) in electric vehicle applications (EVs) is crucial to ensure a safe and reliable vehicle operation. However, robust SOC estimation under all possible operating conditions is challenging du…
Effects of Paclobutrazol and Mepiquat Chloride on the Physiological, Nutritional, and Morphological Behavior of Potted Icterina Sage under Greenhouse Conditions Open
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are commonly used in horticulture to improve crop quality, save water, and enhance plant resilience to stress. In this study, we examined the effects of two PGRs, paclobutrazol (PBZ) and mepiquat chloride (MC…
Response of Potted Hebe andersonii to Salinity under an Efficient Irrigation Management Open
Although the use of marginal-quality water can be an effective measure to alleviate water scarcity, it often contains a high concentration of salts that can compromise crop growth. As a result, farmers apply more water than necessary to le…
Control of Substrate Water Availability Using Soil Sensors and Effects of Water Deficit on the Morphology and Physiology of Potted Hebe andersonii Open
Many plant producers tend to overwater crops to prevent water stress and salt-induced damage. These practices waste irrigation water and cause leaching that harms the environment and increases production costs. In order to optimize water c…
Assessment of soil salinity indexes using electrical conductivity sensors Open
The salinity tolerance of plants can be improved by efficient irrigation management and salt flushing, which require a continuous and precise knowledge of the salinity in the soil or substrate. Soil sensors that measure electrical conducti…
Recycled Wastewater and Reverse Osmosis Brine Use for Halophytes Irrigation: Differences in Physiological, Nutritional and Hormonal Responses of Crithmum maritimum and Atriplex halimus Plants Open
Halophytes are capable of coping with excessive NaCl in their tissues, although some species may differ in their degree of salt tolerance. In addition, it is not clear whether they can tolerate other confounding factors and impurities asso…
Assessment of the Combined Effect of Temperature and Salinity on the Outputs of Soil Dielectric Sensors in Coconut Fiber Open
Dielectric sensors are useful instruments for measuring soil moisture and salinity. The soil moisture is determined by measuring the dielectric permittivity, while bulk electrical conductivity (EC) is measured directly. However, permittivi…
The Importance of Ion Homeostasis and Nutrient Status in Seed Development and Germination Open
Seed is the dissemination unit of plants initiating an important stage in the life cycle of plants. Seed development, comprising two phases: embryogenesis and seed maturation, may define the quality of sown seed, especially under abiotic s…
Sustainable Community Gardens Require Social Engagement and Training: A Users’ Needs Analysis in Europe Open
Urban gardens are spreading in many cities across Europe, with community gardening being a fundamental form of urban agriculture. While the literature reveals the essential role that community gardens can play in terms of learning and educ…

Long- and short-lists of key performance indicators in industry and for industrial symbiosis Open
INTRODUCTION A key performance indicator (KPI) is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively an organisation, process or project is achieving a key objective. For instance, the internal rate of return can be used to measure the e…
GROWING THE ENDANGERED SPECIES Astragalus nitidiflorus IN THE NURSERY: FERTILIZATION RATE AFFECTS GROWTH, AND LEAF NUTRIENT AND CHLOROPHYLL CONTENTS Open
Astragalus nitidiflorus is an endangered legume endemic to the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. This species develops symbiotic relationships with N-fixing bacteria. However, the problem of isolating its rhizobia has not been solved. Be…
