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 …

Chemotaxis: role in egg-sperm interaction and its evaluation
Abstract: Communication between spermatozoa and egg before contact by chemotaxis is prevalent throughout the animal kingdom. In most animal species, the prospects of the spermatozoa coming in contact with eggs are very slim in the absence of some guidance mechanism usually chemical in nature that has been acquired gradually. Such chemical guidance, sperm chemotaxis, is now recognized in many marine invertebrates, fish, amphibians, and a few mammals including humans. This suggests …

Impact of Mercuric Iodide on the Growth of Phormidium spp.
Abstract: Cyanobacteria are microalgae which are freely distributed in aquatic environment. They are photosynthetic organisms and can fix atmospheric nitrogen under anerobic condition. Such cyanobacteria have been applied as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture to improve the crop yield. Since the application of chemical fertilizers in crop fields created heavy metal pollution which could be neutralized by microalgae under aquatic environment. They have ability to tolerate the heavy metal concentrations under …

Cultural Approaches for Plant Disease Management
Abstract: ABSTRACTCultural practices (CPs) can be harnessed for the management of soil and foliar-borne diseases by creating an environment which is favorable for the host and unfavorable for the pathogen. Most cultural practices used to control plant disease are preventive in nature. There are three categories of cultural practices: (a) CP, which is usually applied for agricultural purposes not related to crop protection, such as fertilization and irrigation, (b) CPs, which …

Elucidating the Role of Temperature in Reproductivity of Plants
Abstract: Analysis on plant counter to temperature stress accumulates interest because of the expanded mindfulness with respect to an unnatural weather change. High and low temperature stresses help in setting up the slight natural division of refined plants, the restricted geographic expansion of some other financially healthfully significant species, and furthermore produce lopsided connection for certain species. All things considered, the view of plant reprisal to temperature stress falls behind other …
