Effective Utilization of Rainfed Lowland in Eastern India
Abstract: AbstractAgriculture water management deals with the administration of a key input to agricultural production and offers to hope that land and water use will be intensified for sustainable agriculture. Scarcity of water resources and growing of competition for water, many sectors reduce its availability for irrigation. Effective management of water for crop production in water scarce area requires efficient approaches for increasing crop productivity and drought tolerance by genetic improvement …

Neutralising Climate Change Through Fruit Crops
Abstract: The fruit crops with an extended life cycle face several difficulties associated with stress. Intriguingly, the fruit crops with a short life cycle show a wider capability of adaptation without confronting many stresses of climate change. All the fruit crops possess temperature optima to cruise through proper growth and development. Fruit crops representing temperate, tropical and sub-tropical regions are affected by climate change to varying proportions, especially the temperate fruit …

A Novel Direct Weighted Deviation (DWD) Method for Agricultural Enterprise Selection: A Case Study of Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu
Abstract: The study proposes a novel Direct Weighted Deviation (DWD) method for Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) by eliminating normalization, distance metrics, and pairwise comparisons. DWD is thereafter used to evaluate and select ten rainfed agricultural enterprises against ten generic and context-specific viability criteria in Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu, a water-scarce region in India. Subsequently, other methods (AHP, SAW, WPM, and TOPSIS) are used to obtain a comparative second opinion and validate …

Revolutionizing Agriculture: Integrating IoT, Machine Learning, and Image Processing for Smart Farming
Abstract: Precision agriculture, characterized by data-driven decision-making, has revolutionized modern farming practices. This abstract explores the integration of sensor monitoring, machine learning, and image processing to enhance agricultural efficiency and sustainability. In precision agriculture, a network of sensors continually collects vital environmental data, including temperature, humidity, rainfall, sunlight, soil moisture, and conductivity. The real-time data supplied by these sensors empowers farmers to make knowledgeable choices concerning irrigation, fertilization, and pest management. …

Silkworm Growth and Silk Yield under Changing Climatic Conditions: Challenges and Adaptations
Abstract: Climate change is emerging as a critical factor affecting agriculture and sericulture industries worldwide. Rising global temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and the growing frequency of extreme weather events present ever challenges to the growth and productivity of silkworms (Bombyx mori L.). Silkworms are extremely sensitive to environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and photoperiod, all altered by climate change. Higher temperatures can accelerate silkworm metabolism, reduce silk yield, and increase susceptibility …

Studies on Dynamics of Post-Kharif Rice Fallows Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Techniques in India
Abstract: India has largely become self-sufficient in food grain production at macro level. However, the mismatch between the demand and supply, imbalance in food grain components, declining growth rate of food grain yields especially in cereals, pulses, oilseeds, rice, and wheat in the last decade add to the woes of malnutrition and food security problems. The rice, wheat and pulse crops constitute the main components of food security mission. Optimal utilization …

HEC-HMS Based Estimation of Rainfall Runoff Relationship in Central Highlands of Ethiopia, a Case Study in Beressa Watershed
Abstract: Rainfall and runoff are the most frequently used events in hydrology. Calculating of a flow at the outlet of river is vigorous for a number of hydrologic studies like water resource management and flood forecasting. This study supported out to estimate rainfall-runoff relation in Beressa watershed. HEC-HMS model is used to pretend rainfall-runoff process and to apply the rainfall-runoff analysis by using SCS_CN method in Beressa Watershed. A physical based …

Soil Erosion and Sediment Export in Berta Watershed Using GIS and USLE Model in Central Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia: Implications for Sustainable Natural Resources Management
Abstract: Soil erosion and sedimentation of lake due to runoff is a major problem in Southern Ethiopia. Berta watershed is one of the watersheds in Rift valley Basin, contributing runoff to small Abaya (Tuffa) lake. However, no studies have been conducted on soil erosion and sediment yield from the entire watershed. Therefore, an updated Universal Soil Loss Model and Geographic Information System have been used to start the current study, which …
