Comparison of Various Methodologies used for Automating Plant Disease Detection using Image Processing
Abstract: In India, major of economy and development depends on agriculture, so plant disease detection becomeimportant for us so that if any crop is destroyed due to diseases is known to us prior and we can overcomethe loss of crops due to plant diseases. It is better to catch the disease in the initial phase so that the largescaledamage of crops can be prevented. Traditionally, the diseases incurred via the naked …

Effect of Manure on the Physical, Chemical and Biological Properties of Soil
Abstract: Manure is the rotten form of dead plants and animals. It is organic matter that is used as organicfertilizer in agriculture and donate to the fertility of soil by adding organic matter and nutrients, andit can be classified as animal manure, green manure, and compost manure.
