Farmers find it difficult to keep an eye on each and every plant in the cultivation area to detect manifestation of any infection. Many an image processing approaches has been developed in recent years to serve the purpose of a watch-dog, i.e. detecting the growth of a disease at an early stage, determining the type of the disease the leaf is infected with and suggesting necessary actions.

The immediate effects of tillage on protected soil C and N pools and on trace gas emissions from soils at precultivation levels of native C remain largely unknown. We measured the response to cultivation of CO2 and N2O emissions and associated environmental factors in a previously uncultivated U.S. Midwest Alfisol with C concentrations that were indistinguishable from those in adjacent late suc...

A sedimentary pollen sequence from the coastal plain of Veracruz, Mexico, demonstrates maize cultivation by 5,000 years ago, refining understanding of the geography of early maize cultivation. Methodological issues related to bioturbation involved in dating that record combine with its similarity to a pollen sequence from the coastal plain of Tabasco, Mexico, to suggest that the inception of ma...
