Trichoderma: beneficial fungus for sustainable agriculture
Abstract: As environmentally beneficial substitutes for chemical pesticides, Trichoderma species are being utilized in agriculture more and more. Disease suppression, increased plant growth, and increased tolerance to environmental stress are just a few advantages they provide. These fungi are used in a wide range of cropping systems and formulations around the world. Their use is growing worldwide, particularly in Asia and Europe. In contemporary crop management, items derived from Trichoderma are …

The Role of Precision Agriculture in Enhancing Horticultural Crop Yields
Abstract: This article explores the quantification of lithium and mapping of mineral composition in crushed lithium ore utilizing two distinct calibration techniques with Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). Thirty samples from a pegmatite lithium deposit were analyzed, with representative mineral samples extracted, mixed with resin, and polished into disks. These disks underwent examination via an analyzer and an integrated mineral analyzer, facilitating mineral identification. The first calibration technique used empirical mineral chemistry …
