Il fagiolo mungo (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) una delle leguminose pi antiche ed estesamente coltivate in India. un'eccellente fonte di proteine di alta qualit (25%), carboidrati (60%) e vitamina A. Il fagiolo mungo nel Bundelkhand coltivato utilizzando variet locali interamente in condizioni di terreno arido e su fertilit residua del suolo a causa dei suoi pi alti rendimenti netti. I fertilizzanti chimici, senza dubbio, sono una fonte importante che pu soddisfare il fabbisogno di nutrienti, ma il loro squilibrio e il loro uso continuo portano all'inquinamento ambientale e al deterioramento della salute del suolo. Inoltre, la disponibilit di fertilizzanti a prezzi economici un altro problema per l'agricoltore. L'uso integrato di concimi organici, fertilizzanti chimici e bio-fertilizzanti e la loro gestione efficiente stata trovata efficace non solo per aumentare la produttivit , ma anche per migliorare la salute del suolo e portare la sostenibilit nella produttivit del sistema.

Die Mungobohne (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) ist eine der ltesten und am meisten angebauten H lsenfr chte Indiens. Sie ist eine hervorragende Quelle f r hochwertiges Eiwei (25 %), Kohlenhydrate (60 %) und Vitamin A. In Bundelkhand wird die Mungobohne aufgrund ihrer h heren Nettoertr ge ausschlie lich unter Trockenbedingungen und auf Restbodenfruchtbarkeit mit lokalen Sorten angebaut. Chemische D ngemittel sind zweifelsohne eine wichtige Quelle zur Deckung des N hrstoffbedarfs, aber ihr unausgewogener und kontinuierlicher Einsatz f hrt zu Umweltverschmutzung und einer Verschlechterung der Bodengesundheit. Au erdem ist die Verf gbarkeit von D ngemitteln zu wirtschaftlichen Preisen ein weiteres Problem f r die Landwirte. Der integrierte Einsatz von organischem D nger, chemischen D ngemitteln und Biod ngern und deren effiziente Bewirtschaftung hat sich nicht nur bei der Steigerung der Produktivit t als wirksam erwiesen, sondern auch bei der Verbesserung der Bodengesundheit und der Nachhaltigkeit der Systemproduktivit t.

Les engrais chimiques sont sans aucun doute une source importante qui permet de r pondre aux besoins en nutriments, mais leur d s quilibre et leur utilisation continue entra nent une pollution de l'environnement et une d t rioration de la sant des sols. En outre, la disponibilit des engrais des prix conomiques est un autre probl me pour l'agriculteur. L'utilisation int gr e de fumiers organiques, d'engrais chimiques et d'engrais biologiques, ainsi que leur gestion efficace, se sont av r es efficaces non seulement pour accro tre la productivit , mais aussi pour am liorer la sant des sols et assurer la durabilit de la productivit du syst me.

This book contains high-quality research articles and reviews that promote research and reflect the most recent advances in intelligent wavelet based techniques for advanced multimedia applications as well as other emerging areas. In recent time, wavelet transforms have become useful in many signal, image and video processing applications, especially for multimedia security and surveillance. A few applications of wavelets in security and surveillance are watermarking, fusion, steganography, object detection, tracking, motion recognition and intention recognition, etc. Wavelets are well capable of analyzing signal, image and video at different resolution levels, popularly known as multiresolution analysis. The multiresolution analysis is advantageous in multimedia security and surveillance applications. It provides flexibility in selection of different resolution levels that leads to better accuracy. Furthermore, recently sparse representation has become an advancement to analyze wavelet coefficients. It is observed that wavelet transforms possess the invariance property which makes them suitable for many vision applications. This book provides a concise overview of the current state of the art and disseminates some of the novel and exciting ideas and techniques. In addition, it is also helpful for the senior undergraduate and graduate students, researcher, academicians, IT professional and providers, citizens, customers as well as policy makers working in this area as well as other emerging applications demanding state-of-the-art wavelet based multimedia applications.

Intercropping has been an advanced agro-technique and has been considering to be an effective and potential means of optimizing crop production per unit area and time, particularly for farmers having marginal and small holdings. Substantial increase in total production over space and time not using costly inputs but by the simple expedient of growing crops together are the unique advantage associated with intercropping through micro-climatic manipulation. Nowadays major agronomic manipulations are necessary to maximize the yield in intercropping that include, effect of fertility and water regimes, selection of compatible genotypes and plant population/ spatial arrangement relationship. Wheat + mustard intercropping is an ecologically suitable, economically viable, operationally feasible, and socially acceptable cropping system during the winter season in India. Therefore, a wheat + mustard intercropping system under adequate and balanced fertilizer management, optimum planting density along compatible cultivars of component crops can produce an additional yield of the component crop (mustard) with the least affecting the yield of main crop (wheat).

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is one of the most ancient and extensively grown leguminous crops of India. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein (25%), carbohydrates (60%), and vitamin A. The Mungbean in Bundelkhand is grown using local varieties entirely in dryland conditions and on residual soil fertility on account of its higher net returns. Chemical fertilizers, no doubt, are an important source that can meet the nutrient requirement but their imbalance and continuous use lead to environmental pollution and deterioration of soil health. Furthermore, the availability of fertilizer at economic prices is another problem for the farmer. The integrated use of organic manures, chemical fertilizers, and bio-fertilizers and their efficient management has been found effective is not only in increasing productivity but also in improving soil health and brought sustainability in system productivity.

This thesis proposes new power converter topologies suitable for aircraft systems. It also proposes both AC-DC and DC-DC types of converters for different electrical loads to improve the performance these systems. To increase fuel efficiency and reduce environmental impacts, less efficient non-electrical aircraft systems are being replaced by electrical systems. However, more electrical systems requires more electrical power to be generated in the aircraft. The increased consumption of electrical power in both civil and military aircrafts has necessitated the use of more efficient electrical power conversion technologies. This book presents acomprehensive mathematical analysis and the design and digital simulation of the power converters. Subsequently it discusses the construction of the hardware prototypes of each converter and the experimental tests carried out to verify the benefits of the proposed solutions in comparison to the existing solutions.
