essential oils from aerial parts of mentha spicata, was obtained by steam destillation using a clevenger-type system. these oils were screened for antibacterial and anti-candida albicans activity using bioautographic method. a fiel experiments was laid out in agricultural research farm, city namin, ardabil province, iran in 2013. experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block with seve...

One method for refining nitrogen (N) application in corn is use of in-season crop sensing. To aid producers in making decisions regarding N rate adjustments, a calibrated relationship between sensor-derived information and expected N application need should be established. Nitrogen rate trials were conducted at multiple sites across Iowa in 2001-2003. Nitrogen was applied at or shortly after co...

We report on the first implementation of a single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) in 130nm CMOS technology. The SPAD is fabricated as p+/nwell junction with octagonal shape. A guard ring of p-well around the p+ anode is used to prevent premature discharge. To investigate the dynamics of the new device, both active and passive quenching methods have been used. Single photon detection is achieved b...

In Hungary, irrigation determines the success of water-intensive beet cultivation. Taking into account guidelines circular economy, we investigated effect with pre-treated nutrient-rich effluent from an intensive catfish-farm on growth stages sugar and fodder beet. two-year-experiment (2020, 2021), two (‘Helenika’, ‘Grandiosa’) (‘Rózsaszín Béta’, ‘Béta Vöröshenger’) cultivars were grown. additi...

Leaf chlorophyll content is crucial for monitoring plant growth and photosynthetic capacity. The Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) values are widely utilized as a relative index in ecological agricultural surveys vegetation remote sensing applications. Multi-spectral cameras cost-effective alternative to hyperspectral monitoring. However, the limited spectral bands of multi-spectral restri...

Canopy chlorophyll density (Chl) has a pivotal role in diagnosing crop growth and nutrition status. The purpose of this study was to develop Chl based models for estimating N status and predicting grain yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) with Leaf area index (LAI) and Chlorophyll concentration of the upper leaves. Six field experiments were conducted in Jiangsu Province of East China during 2007, ...
