Geo-spatial Predictions of Soil Organic Carbon: A Review
Abstract: Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) plays an important role in conservation of biophysical environment, i.e., biogeochemical cycles, soil fertility, water quality, atmospheric carbon control, temperature control, sustainable land management and food production. Geo-statistical techniques can be useful for precise estimations and preparation of high quality SOC maps essential for planning and monitoring the biophysical environment. Several studies have used geo-statistical techniques successfully for description of spatial patterns, quantitative modeling, spatial predictions …

Biofertilizers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Abstract: India, being an agriculture-based country, there has always been a concern about crop improvement here. Chemical fertilizers increased crops yield, but eventually leached out soil, polluted water basins, degraded ecosystems, reducing soil fertility and thus causing damage to overall environment. Organic fertilizers are costlier and they released nutrients in the surrounding environment thus degrading soil and water quality and human health. Thus came into picture the use of GM crops …

Influences of Surface Modification of Vetiver Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Composites
Abstract: Plant-drive vetiver fiber (VF), a significant lignocellulosic fiber, can be included in polymers like polypropylene (PP) in dissimilar ways for attaining preferred features and structure. But its high levels of moisture absorption, poor wettability and inadequate adherence between the fiber and polymer matrix result in debonding with age. To develop the overhead attributes,adequate surface modifications are essential. In our current work, the VF surface was modified by mercerized treatment (MVF), …
