- Abstract:
- ... Although lignin is essential to ensure the correct growth and development of land plants, it may be an obstacle to the production of lignocellulosics-based biofuels, and reduces the nutritional quality of crops used for human consumption or livestock feed. The need to tailor the lignocellulosic biomass for more efficient biofuel production or for improved plant digestibility has fostered considera ...

In this article, we evaluate a series of POLSAR (Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar) parameters and devise a robust, multi-date, and hierarchical decision tree algorithm for crop discrimination. The study area is a farmland in North India having relatively large patches of winter crops with medium heterogeneity. Ten POLSAR parameters are evaluated for this work including polarimetric entropy () ...

- Abstract:
- ... Pesticide residues, especially for herbicides, often damage crops, except for weeds, which results in reduced production or even death in agriculture. Brassinosteroids (BRs) can alleviate the injury from pesticide stress and enhance the growth of plants. However, the roles of low-cost BR mimetics in alleviation and protection from herbicide (nicosulfuron, NSF) stress in maize remain unclear. To in ...

- Abstract:
- ... Cobalt (Co) is a nutrient for soil microorganisms and crops, as well as a worldwide industrial pollutant. When the level of Co exceeds the acceptable limit, this heavy metal can lead to devastating consequences for soil environments. There is considerable attention and concern about elevated levels of Co contaminating soil and crops. Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a potential amendment for the ...

- Abstract:
- ... Biomass burning has become one of the prominent sources of air pollution in Northeast China, where the land is largely covered by forest, grasslands, and agricultural crops. Nevertheless, the impact of biomass burning on air quality and the sensitivity of such impact to weather are rarely documented. In this study, we addressed these issues using satellite fire radiative power (FRP) and surface PM ...

The pre-harvest treatment of crops with biostimulants offers a sustainable strategy for reducing post-harvest losses. Earlier studies focused on the effect of plant biostimulants applied individually. In this study, we studied the efficacy of a combined application of two commonly us ...
