Building Your Own Mini-Greenhouse Can Be A Fun And Educational Experience, As Well As A Rewarding One. Especially If You’re Good With Tools. If You Are Using A Greenhouse To Initiate Transplants Or Grow Plants To Maturity, The Greenhouse Should Be Located In An Area That Will Receive The Most Sunlight. It Should Also Be Located In A Well-Ventilated Area. Avoid Building Greenhouses In ...
Welcome, cannabis growers, to our comprehensive guide on Vapour Pressure Deficit! If you come across the acronym VPD and wonder, “what does VPD stand for?” then you are about to find out! As you embark on your journey to cultivating thriving cannabis plants, it’s essential to understand the significance of VPD. It has vital impacts on your crop’s health and yield. In this ...
INTRODUCTION: CROP AREA ESTIMATION The two components of agricultural production estimation are crop area and yield estimation. ...
Abstract : Land Surface Phenology (LSP) and Leaf Area Index (LAI) are important variables that describe the photosynthetically active phase and capacity of vegetation. ...

All the activities are increasing: biomass accumulation, leaf area development, photosynthesis. To support the intensification, necessary to maximize the number of seeds and therefore the yield, the plant has to uptake big amounts of nutrients. ...
![Precision viticulture technology a key to producing premium quality wines in changing climate [part 2]](https://d32zuqhgcrpxli.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJlZS1maWxlcyIsImtleSI6ImZpbGVzLzExMTU3Mi9pbWFnZXMvMTExNTcyXzBfMjAyMDEwMDgxNDQ2MDMyODkxMTk4XzQwMC5wbmciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJyZXNpemUiOnsiZml0IjoiY29udGFpbiIsImJhY2tncm91bmQiOnsiciI6MjU1LCJnIjoyNTUsImIiOjI1NSwiYWxwaGEiOjF9LCJ3aWR0aCI6MjQwLCJoZWlnaHQiOjE0NX19fQ== "Precision viticulture technology a key to producing premium quality wines in changing climate [part 2]")
For example, those two technologies help winegrowers monitor environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, leaf wetness, soil moisture, etc. to respond on time when conditions change rapidly. ...
Organic amendments at two levels were given as seed treatments and as foliar sprays. The scientists used leaf area and root area as indicators of water-use along with chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance, leaf relative water content, and membrane permeability. One of the innovative tools used in the experiment to measure ...
Currently, agriculture uses seventy percent of the freshwaters, globally. Available freshwater sources will not be enough to increase food production to feed growing populations in the coming decades. Therefore, there is a concerted effort to grow crops with seawater. Hence, scientists are investigating the various challenges involved in growing plants with saline water. These include greenhouse ...
Salinity inhibits growth and development in crops. Due to the extent of damage salinity causes to agriculture, it is identified as a major threat to food production. Therefore, practices to deal with the effects of salinity on crops are receiving a lot of attention. To be able to provide proper recommendations that are also sustainable, it is first necessary to find out how salinity affects ...
Accurate and quick measurements are vital to advance the studies in this area of research. Interactions of Light and Other Environmental Factors Light is one of the essential factors for photosynthesis by which plants produce their food. Plants use light energy to combine the water drawn in from roots with carbon dioxide taken in through the leaf stomata to ...
RFID card is a wireless communication technology, which can identify specific targets and read and write related data through radio signals without the need to establish mechanical or optical contact between the identification system and specific targets. Startrend is one of reliable rfid cards suppliers. We adopt advanced technology and have high-quality rfid cards for sale. In this article, ...
The parameters measured were the Leaf area index (LAI), ground biomass, chlorophyll, and relative water content. The scientists used the CI-202 Portable Laser Leaf Area Meter from CID Biosciences to measure leaf area, from which LAI was calculated. The CI-202 Leaf ...
Cadmium is a heavy, non-biodegradable metal that is toxic to plants, people, and animals. With increasing pollution and emission of cadmium, its levels in agricultural soils are increasing. The risk to humans is high due to consumption of cadmium-contaminated food. Modern applications of gas analysis and laser measurements are speeding up research in addressing the problem of cadmium stress. ...
Farm Fertilizer - A Double-Edged Sword The excessive use of fertilizers is one of the main causes of the environmental impact of industrial agriculture. The notion that more is better has caused more harm than good to farming, as well as the environment. Therefore, using the right amount of fertilizers is considered an important part of farm management. To this end, there has been a lot of ...
3D assessment of plants became a commonly used technology in plant phenotyping to measure morphological and architectural features of plants. Although, 3D sensors such as PlantEye can be the workhorse for every phenotyping platform, it still lacks the ability to measure changes in color or other spectral information that are an important indicator for the plants physiological ...
Never before has the interest in preserving natural forests and efficient management of plantations been as great as the present. Demand for wood products is increasing. On the other hand, it is also evident that the remaining forests have to be protected to maintain our quality of life—the very air we breathe depends on them. Therefore, precision management, which has been successfully ...
If you are looking for a classic example of the circle of life, consider the forest canopy structure. A forest’s canopy structure is influenced by environmental and soil factors, and it also influences these factors in return. It is an aspect of forest ecology that is receiving more attention in this age of climate change emergency. The canopy structure is often overlooked, with most of the ...
Therefore, an understanding of leaf area and the different methods to measure it is important. Why is Leaf Area Important? ...
