Capsicum annuum proteinase inhibitor ingestion negatively impacts the growth of sorghum pest Chilo partellus and promotes differential protease expression
Background: Chilo partellus is an important insect pest infesting sorghum and maize. The larvae internalize in
the stem, rendering difficulties in pest management. We investigated the effects of Capsicum annuum
proteinase ...
Integrated runoff and soil loss monitoring unit for small agricultural watersheds
Runoff and sediment flow behaviors from small agricultural watersheds on Alfisols and Vertic Inceptisols,
and their implications for the design of a runoff and soil loss monitoring unit are discussed. It was
observed that ...
Soil information system: web-based solution for agricultural land-use planning
The soil-forming factors, especially climate, vegetation
and topography, act on a range of rock formations
and parent materials leading to the development of
different kinds of soils. Through concerted efforts, soil
datasets ...

Natural chemical degradation of soils in the Indian semi-arid tropics and remedial measures
Most published research on soil degradation in general
emphasizes the role of anthropogenic factors.
Even among the natural soil degradation processes the
regressive pedogenic processes that lead to the formation
of CaCO3 ...
Mapping Asian Cropping Intensity With MODIS
Agricultural systems are geographically extensive,
have profound significance to society, and affect regional energy,
climate, and water cycles. Since most suitable lands worldwide
have been cultivated, there is a growing ...
