As the level of global economy was enhanced, amount meat consumption has increased rapidly. Environmental pollution by livestock excretion become a big problem worldwide because number farms increased. However, we need to consider availability manure as an organic matter resource in sustainable agriculture. Here, survey effects purified liquid fertilizer (PLF) and Bio-fertilizer (LBF) on plant ...

A major problem for optical biomedical imaging methods, e.g. near-infrared optical tomography (NIROT), using time resolved SPAD sensors is a slow acquisition time, resulting in motion artefacts and decreased patient comfort. We present a new SPAD sensor module optimised for the NIROT application. Dynamic TDC reallocation is employed to reduce the die area occupied by timing circuitry whilst als...

In the coming years, farmers will have to deal with growing crops under suboptimal conditions dictated by global climate changes. The application of plant biostimulants such as beneficial microorganisms and plant-derived protein hydrolysates (PHs) may represent an interesting approach for increasing crop tolerance to alkalinity and salinity. The current research aimed at elucidating the agronom...

Understanding the attributes of spur leaves in apple trees is essential to gain more insight into complex process fruit development and quality. However, limited literature available about leaf characteristics 'Amasya' cultivar. In this work, Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) area were investigated flowering non-flowering six common cultivars. Significant differences among cultivars observ...

Wilt disease of watermelon caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum in long-term monoculture system has been much often found particularly in protected land cultivation system worldwide. Fusaric acid (FA), a fungal phytotoxin, was extracted from F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum isolated from diseased watermelon plant. The influence of FA on the biomass and leaves photosynthesis of watermelon seedli...

In this paper we present a two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) system based on a two-dimensional single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array fabricated in CMOS [1] [2]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of two-photon FLIM based on a CMOS detector. The sensor reported here exhibits picosecond accuracy, operates at room temperature, and requires n...

10 Effects of crop growth and physiological activity to drought and irrigation regimes 11 have been extensively studied; however, the responses of plant growth, morphological 12 and photosynthetic behaviors to drought episodes and thereafter rewatering receive a 13 less attention. This field experiment was carried out directly in situ at an agricultural 14 ecosystem research station during 2015...
