Is there any relationship between plant nutrition and human health? The overall response to this question is very positive, a strong the of plants humans has been reported in literature. nutritional status edible consumed by can have negative or positive impact on health. This review was designed assess importance bioactive compounds for health under umbrella sustainable agriculture. With respect first research question, it found that bioactives (e.g., alkaloids, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids) crucial role due their therapeutic benefits, potentiality depends several factors, including botanical, environmental, clinical attributes. Plant could be produced using tissue culture tools (as kind agro-biotechnological method), especially cases underexploited endangered plants. Bioactive production many climate change (heat stress, drought, UV radiation, ozone, elevated CO2), environmental pollution, problematic soils (degraded, saline/alkaline, waterlogged, etc.). Under previously mentioned stresses, reviewing literature, association depending kinds stress observed correlation (or growth factors) might explain these Their accumulation stressed increase tolerance roles. results study are keeping with previous observational studies, which confirmed start from contents, humans. report analyzes pictorial presentation.

Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) and Satellite Imagery Fusion for Soil Physical Property Predicting

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(19), P. 14125 - 14125

Published: Sept. 24, 2023

This study aims to predict vital soil physical properties, including clay, sand, and silt, which are essential for agricultural management environmental protection. Precision distribution of texture is crucial effective land resource precision agriculture. To achieve this, we propose an innovative approach that combines Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) with the fusion satellite imagery properties. We collected 317 samples from Iran’s Golestan province dependent data. The independent dataset encompasses 14 parameters Landsat-8 images, seven topographic Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM, two meteorological parameters. Using Random Forest (RF) algorithm, conducted feature importance analysis. employed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), RF, our hybrid CNN-RF model comparing their performance various metrics. network strengths CNN networks RF algorithm improved prediction. demonstrated superior across metrics, excelling in predicting sand (MSE: 0.00003%, RMSE: 0.006%), silt 0.00004%, clay 0.00005%, 0.007%). Moreover, exhibited (R2: 0.995), 0.992), 0.987), as indicated by R2 index. identified MRVBF, LST, B7 most influential prediction, respectively, underscoring significance remote sensing, topography, climate. Our integrated GeoAI-satellite provides valuable tools monitoring degradation, optimizing irrigation, assessing quality. methodology has significant potential advance agriculture practices.

The urban zone around the city of Volos, a Greek with historically industrialized profile, faces threats arising from Potential Toxic Element (PTE) contamination. scope this study is to determine contamination levels 10 PTEs in three areas which are located near industrial Volos. For purpose, total 30 soil samples parks, playgrounds and roadsides were collected Agios Georgios, Velestino Rizomilos (Magnesia, Central Greece). sampling was conducted June 2022 concentrations chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co) zinc (Zn) measured through inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Contamination Factor (CF), Pollution Load Index (PLI) Geo-accumulation (Igeo) revealed moderate pollution most cases, whereas some sites significant for Ni or As. Principal Component Analysis showed concomitant changes 1 others 2, explaining approximately 67% variation. K-means Cluster two distinct groups PTE-impacted within these areas.

Published: Feb. 1, 2022

Due to the rapid population growth, global food production should be increased meet this demand. Agriculture is considered main dominant channel of supply and any approach can support crop productivity urgent. These agro-practices may include using high-yield varieties, improving irrigation fertilization. It noticed that, chemical or mineral fertilizers in agricultural dramatically production. Several negative impacts have been recorded worldwide on environment, which resulted from leaching nutrients into groundwater, beside decline efficiency applied fertilizers. Applying nanofertilizers, a promising approach, an effective technology, increase sustainability agro-production cultivated crops because their nano-size properties, high nutrient use efficiency, slow release nutrients, thereby low required dose fertilizer. Smart fertilizer means controlling time smart agriculture through technological advanced tools such as positioning systems, remote sensing. are able maximize yield minimize agro-chemical inputs by precise monitoring environment. Therefore, work comparison between nanofertilizer, answer question: bio-nanofertilizers emerging precision strategy?
