Cropping system diversity and tillage intensity affects wheat productivity in Texas
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3498-3514, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in Texas depends heavily on conventional tillage (CT) and a long summer fallow period, which contributes to soil degradation. This study compared the impact of reducing tillage intensity (CT, no‐tillage, and strip‐tillage) combined with summer cropping to CT–summer fallow on wheat establishment, grain ...

Chemical staining of particulate organic matter for improved contrast in soil X-ray µCT images
Scientific Reports, 2021 Degradability of organic matter (OM) in soil depends on its spatial location in the soil matrix. A recent breakthrough in 3D-localization of OM combined dual-energy X-ray CT-scanning with OsO4 staining of OM.

A Deep Neural Network Approach for Crop Selection and Yield Prediction in Bangladesh [PDF]
, 2021 Agriculture is the essential ingredients to mankind which is a major source of livelihood. Agriculture work in Bangladesh is mostly done in old ways which directly affects our economy. In addition, institutions of agriculture are working with manual data which cannot provide a proper solution for crop selection and yield prediction.
