Application of Different Deep Learning Algorithms in Forestry Production Management and Processing
Forest resources are the most precious natural resources of human beings. According to the national strategic planning and guidance, China's forest area increases continuously, quality rises steadily, and efficiency increases continuously. In recent years, the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology represented by deep learning and forestry production management and processing industry is one of the important trends to realize the green and intelligent development of forestry. This paper summarizes the research progress of target detection, recognition and classification based on different deep learning algorithms and models in forestry production management and processing, comprehensively compares the advantages and disadvantages of different model algorithms, and puts forward some research suggestions, such as establishing multi-source database, optimizing algorithm model, improving hardware configuration, etc., which provides a reference for the intelligent development of forestry industry.
Effect of soil and foliar application of zinc and iron on Yield, Quality and Economics of Maize
A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive Kharif, seasons of 2018 and 2019 at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur. The experiment was laid out under a split-plot design with three replications, including seven levels of soil application in main plots and four levels of foliar spray in the subplot. Significantly highest grain, stover and biological yield (4068.47, 6532.07 and 10600.54 kg ha-1) in the main plot under treatment 25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 + 25 kg FeSO4 ha-1. In subplot highest grain, stover and biological yield (4068.47, 6532.07 and 10600.54 kg ha-1) were observed under treatment 0.5% ZnSO4 ha-1 + 0.5% FeSO4 ha-1. The interactive effect of soil and foliar application of zinc and iron significantly increases the grain and stover yield. The highest grain and stover yield (4609.45 and 7749.30 kg ha-1) was found with treatment combination S6F3. Harvest index was found non-significant in both soil and foliar application. The highest protein content (11.08 % and 11.07 %) was found in S6 and F3 treatments in the main and subplot, respectively. The highest net return and B:C ratio were found under soil application of 25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 + 25 kg FeSO4 ha-1 (₹ 61986.1 and 2.53) and foliar application of 0.5% ZnSO4 ha-1 + 0.5% FeSO4 ha-1 (₹ 63479.1 and 2.70).
Deciphering Molecular Characterization in Wheat Genotypes using ISSR Marker
A total of 37 allele was amplified with each primer thus produced on an average 7.4 polymorphic bands and The number of alleles per locus ranged from 5 to 12. The polymorphism index content (PIC) value varied from 0.675 to 0.868. ISSR primers performed well in the detection of in wheat genetic diversity can be recommended for future wheat improvement program. Genomic DNA was extracted from thirty three wheat genotypes using CTAB procedure and amplified using five ISSR primers. Matrix similarity of genotypes was calculated by using NTSYSpc.2.1 with Sanh-clustering using the UPGMA (Unweighted Paired Group Method Using Arithmetic Averages) method. The prime aim of this study were to determination of the genetic polymorphism, genetic diversity, selection promising diverse progenitor, identification of putative and informative markers can be recommended for future crop improvement program.
Effect of different environmental Condition on Seed Yield and Its Attributes in Sesame (Sesamum Indicum L.)
The analysis of Sesame (Sesamum Indicum L.) yield and yield attributes in three environmental conditions produced by three different dates of sowing viz., normal, late and very late sowing for yield and its attributes by performing (half diallel fashion excluding reciprocals). To achieve the objectives of the present investigation, ten diverse parents along with their 45 F1 progenies were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications during kharif 2020-21 at S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) in Kharif 2019-20. This Analysis of variance revealed that the existence of significant genotypic differences among the genotypes and F1’s in individual environment. The mean of seed yield per plant was decreased by 19.40% and 32.38% in normal to late environmental condition among the parents and hybrids respectively. In normal to very late environmental condition 60.32% and 65.41% reduction was observed among the parents and hybrids respectively.
Comparative Study of Nutritional and Physical Characteristics of Raw and Puffed Quinoa
An investigation was undertaken to study the nutritional composition of raw and puffed quinoa. Puffed quinoa which was subjected to heat treatment (230°C for 30s) gives maximum puffing yield. Puffed quinoa showed improvement in terms of proteins, carbohydrates, In-vitro protein and starch digestibility. All the processed products showed improvement in water absorption capacity, expansion volume and bulk density which was useful for further formulation. The maximum protein and carbohydrate were reported 13.49 and 69.05 g/100g respectively on puffed quinoa at 240°C for 30 s. Among physical properties includes water absorption capacity, 1000 seed weight, bulk density and expansion volume of processed products were improved. The maximum (275 %) water absorption capacity and the lowest 1000 seed weight found on puffed quinoa at 240°C for 30 s while the minimum bulk density (0.29 g/ml) and the maximum (8.20 ml) expansion volume was reported on puffed at 230°C for 30 s time. The raw quinoa contains bitterness which was reduced by primary processing such as soaking and washing in tape water. Color analysis of processed products slightly improved in terms of L* value (lightness), a* value (Redness) and b* values (Yellowness). The maximum(81.30) L* value was observed in puffed quinoa at 230°C for 30 s whereas lowest a* value and b* value were reported as 1.72 and 19.35 respectively in quinoa samples which was puffed at 240°C for 30 s time.
