During last two decades in India, the productivity and efficiency of horticultural production have received particular attention and key concept has been to accelerate plant growth to achieve maximum production. Protected cultivation makes it possible to obtain increased crop productivity maintaining a favourable environment for the plants. Therefore, production in greenhouses has become more p...


 The study was conducted to analyse the rainfall pattern of dry farming zones Southern Karnataka arrive at proper date sowing by considering parameters like threshold (20 mm), day (2.5 mm) and spell period (10 days) as a main defining for decision making in major crops (finger millet, pigeonpea, groundnut, etc.). In all three zones, agro-climatic onset cropping season earlier compared met...

Background & objectives: Heavy metals enter water sources in many ways and cause hazards such as poisoning and carcinogenesis in the living organisms. This study aimed to investigate the concentration of heavy metals (arsenic, mercury, and cadmium) in the Yamchi Reservoir Dam and Ardabil drinking water distribution network in high and low rainfall seasons in 2018. Methods: In this cross-sectio...

Traditional landslide hazard assessment methods generally use the same evaluation model to carry out assessments under different working conditions. Due differences in influence factors and calculation considered conditions, results obtained using traditional are from those of real-world scenarios. Therefore, research on optimal for conditions is important disaster prevention mitigation areas a...

accelerated soil erosion is an undesirable process that adversely affects water and soil resources. rainfall erosivity is an important factor in water erosion models. accordingly, the present study was conducted to estimate the rainfall erosivity throughout iran based on the latest available detailed rainfall data while considering its temporal and spatial variations. to accomplish this, th...

This study aims to reveal rainfall anomalies and changes over the Yellow River Basin due to the fragile ecosystem and rainfall-related disasters. Common trend analyses relate to overall trends in mean values. Therefore, we used two graphical methods: the quantile perturbation method (QPM) was used to investigate anomalies over time in extreme rainfall, and the partial trend method (PTM) was use...

The paper illustrates some results of research carried out to assess factors triggering debris flows which involve the pyroclastic overburdens covering carbonate mountains around Vesuvius. The aims of the research were to reconstruct a relationship between rainfall and debris flow occurrence and to highlight empirical hydrological thresholds through rainfall pattern analysis. The research was a...

During the monsoon season, the spatiotemporal variability of rainfall impacts the growth of vegetation in the Sahel. This study evaluates this effect for the Ferlo basin in central northern Senegal. Relationships between rainfall, soil moisture (SM), and vegetation are assessed using remote sensing data (TRMM3B42 and RFE 2.0 for rainfall, ESA-CCI.SM for soil moisture and MODIS Leaf Area Index (...
