The population inflation that countries are witnessing during this century, makes it imperative to provide sufficient quantities of agricultural products to meet their urgent needs. Therefore, it became very necessary to use pesticides to improve agricultural crop productivity and reduce losses resulting from agricultural pests. The indiscriminate use of pesticides causes severe risks not only on agricultural fields, but also workers in their manufacturing processes and individual use in homes and institutions. The main adverse effects of utilizing pesticides on human health, soil, microorganisms of soil, surface water and groundwater have been covered in this review. This investigation is aiming to elevate environmental awareness, highlight the serious harms of pesticides and provide guidance for implementing a serious solution from the people and authorities. In addition, the most important strategies to reduce the pesticides risks have been summarized.

Climate change has drastically affected the performance of several agricultural crops. Cotton is an important fibre crop which is severely influenced by the climate change in recent years Presence of genetic variability among germplasm is a key source for selecting the genotypes that are more adapted to the agro-climatic conditions with respect to yield and fibre related traits. For this purpose, 180 cotton genotypes were sown under augmented design with recommended management practices. Data for the morphological, yield and fibre traits viz plant height (PH), CLCuD(%),bolls per plant, boll weight (g), yield/ plant (g), GOT (%), staple length (mm), mike (ug/inch), staple strength (g/tex) were recorded and analysed. The results of variance analysis revealed that significant variability was observed among genotypes for all the traits under study. PCA biplot showed that 26% variability was observed in PC1 and 15.5% in PC2. Genotypes no. 30 was found with distant yield and fibre characteristics. Through cluster analysis, total 180 cotton genotypes were grouped into nine different clusters. Group 7 and group 8 consist of 15 and 03 genotypes respectively. Genotypes among these two groups represent the higher CLCuD resistance, maximum yield per plant with better fibre traits. Phenotypic evaluation of cotton genotypes for different morphological, yield and fibre traits provide the basis for exploitation of best performing genotypes in the future breeding programme.

Cyperus rotundus is rapidly growing plant can quickly form dense colonies through the extensive underground system of tuber and rhizomes. It is highly competitive for resources and causes a significant yield reduction in field crops. The nonchemical method has recently been practiced to control this noxious weed species. The current study was conducted to determine the effect of sowing depths (4, 8, 12, and 16 cm) and water regimes (deficit irrigation, medium irrigation, and frequent irrigation treatments) on C. rotundus shoot growth and underground growth of tubers in pots soil. Weed emergence, i.e., mean emergence time (MET), emergence index (EI), final emergence percentage (FEP), and shoot growth traits i.e. shoot density, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, and tuber growth traits i.e. tuber density, tuber weight, root density, and root weight were recorded under the completely randomized (CRD) factorial design. The greatest suppression of C. rotundus emergence and growth was found at 16 cm sowing depth. The mean emergence time (MET) of C. rotundus was increased by increasing the sowing depth. Minimum value of shoot densty (9.5 g) and tuber density (15.75 g) were recorded at 16 cm sowing depth under deficit irrigation treatment respectively.While shoot and tuber desnity traits were also drastically suppressed by increasing sowing depth at the deficit irrigation level. It is concluded that sowing depths and deficit irrigation methods can be included as a reliable approach for controlling purple nutsedge shoot and tuber growth.

The emergence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is mainly due to the presence of resistant genes. The objective of this study is to perform antibiotic susceptibility profiling and molecular detection of nuc and mecA genes of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from mastitic milk. A total of 105 milk samples were collected from dairy farms in the Faisalabad region. They were cultured on Staph-110 media and mannitol salt agar. Biochemical tests included catalase and coagulase, were also performed for the identification of Staphylococcus aureus. Antibiotic susceptibility profiling of MRSA was done by disc diffusion method and molecular screening of Staphylococcus aureus for the detection of nuc and mecA genes was done by using PCR. Selected 8 antibiotics based on previous history being commonly used in dairy practices. The prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus observed by PCR was 58.09%. Oxacillin (1µg) and vancomycin (30µg) showed 100% resistance, while enrofloxacin (5µg), amoxicillin (25µg), ampicillin (10µg), oxytetracycline (1µg), gentamycin (10µg) and tylosin (30µg) showed 1.64, 55.74, 73.77, 13.11, 1.64 and 11.74% resistance, respectively. Susceptibility percentages of enrofloxacin (5µg), amoxicillin (25µg), ampicillin (10µg), oxytetracycline (1µg), gentamycin (10µg) and tylosin (30µg) were 27.87, 37.70, 14.75, 19.67, 98.36 and 9.84%, respectively. Enrofloxacin (5µg), amoxicillin (25µg), ampicillin (10µg), oxytetracycline (1µg) and tylosin (30µg) showed 70.49, 6.56, 11.47, 67.21 and 78.69% intermediate resistance against MRSA. Among the mastitic cases, 58.09% were positive for Staphylococcus aureus. These isolates were susceptible to gentamycin in 98.36% and tylosin in 78.69% cases, so these antibiotics can be used for the treatment of mastitis.

Smart agriculture is a strategy for restructuring and reorganizing agricultural systems to ensure food security in the face of emerging climate change challenges. Diseases cause problems on agricultural development and yield and they're generally tough to control. It is necessary to have a precise diagnosis of the grape leaf diseases and preventative measures before time. In order to diagnose grape leaf diseases, this research suggests a novel recognition method that is based on enhanced convolutional neural networks. Firstly; addressed the grape leaf disease types into four categories such as Esca, black rot, Leaf Blight, and healthy which cause loss for grape industry every year. A large dataset of labeled images is collected and prepared for training. The images are typically pre-processed to enhance their features and remove any noise or artifacts that might interfere with the CNN's ability to recognize patterns. Data collection, data pre-processing, and image categorization are the three main phases of the study's approach. Secondly; Images are classified and mapped to their respective disease categories on the basis of three features namely, color and texture. Extensive experiments performed on MATLAB using CNN model AlexNet. The CNN training process used learning rate 0.0001 which produced better results and obtained better accuracy. Overall, an accurate diagnosis of grape leaf diseases and the implementation of effective preventative measures will help to reduce the impact of diseases on agricultural development and yield. This will help to ensure a sustainable and profitable grape production industry for farmers and communities.

Early detection of plant diseases helps to prevent loss of productivity and overcomes the shortcomings of continuous human monitoring. To solve these problems, many researchers have already completed their work to identify the diseases automatically, rapidly, and with greater accuracy using deep learning methods. This research combines deep learning with agriculture by developing a system for identifying cotton boll rot. We used two states of art pre-trained models SSD with MobileNet-V2 and Faster R-CNN with Inception -V2, which can locate boll rot attacks in cotton crops. It will be determined how much damage our crops have sustained. The trained model achieved 65% and 89% accuracy, respectively. The accuracy results for disease identification demonstrated that the deep network model is prospective and can significantly influence effective disease identification. It may also have the potential for disease detection in real-world agricultural systems of interest, region proposal networks, convolutional neural networks; deep neural networks; bounding boxes; support vector machines.

It will be determined how much damage our crops have sustained. The trained model achieved 65% and 89% accuracy, respectively. The accuracy results for disease identification demonstrated that the deep network model is prospective and can significantly influence effective disease identification. It may also have the potential for disease detection in real-world agricultural systems of interest, region proposal networks, convolutional neural networks; deep neural networks; bounding boxes; support vector machines.","PeriodicalId":11234,"journal":{"name":"Diyala Agricultural Sciences Journal","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78619655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The research was carried out to determine the effect of Populus deltoides trees on the soil physical and chemical properties and grain yield of wheat crop under the agro ecological conditions of Faisalabad (Punjab), Pakistan. Two fields were selected; one with wheat monoculture and the other had boundary trees of Populus deltoides. The average age of the s Populus trees was 5 years. Number of trees was 40 per acre. The average height and diameter at breast height of trees was 12 meters and 42.43 cm respectively. The wheat crop was sown in October, 2020 in both fields and harvested in April, 2021. A quadrate of one meter square was used to collect the data. The quadrate was put at various distances (2-24 meter) from tree stems and the plants growing there were harvested. The grain yield (gm-2) per quadrate was determined with the help of an electric weighing balance. The soil samples were selected from both fields and various chemical and physical properties of soil were determined. The soil pH was 7.32 and 7.95 in wheat monoculture and Populus+wheat field respectively. Total nitrogen was 0.05 and 0.08%in both fields respectively as mentioned above. Organic matter was 0.64 and 0.81 in wheat monoculture and Populus based field respectively. The effect of Populus trees on grain yield of wheat was negative form 2m to 10 meter distance from trees. While from 12m to 24 m distance, wheat grain yield was more or less equal in both fields i.e. with and without trees. Net income was Rs. 67437.69 and Rs. 104781.03 per acre without and with trees, respectively. On the basis of this research, it is concluded that wheat + Poplar is more suitable option for farmers. So farmers should adopt this system to generate more money while keeping the inputs same.
