Predicting yellow mosaic disease severity in yardlong bean using visible imaging coupled with machine learning model.

Accurate estimation of plant disease severity is pivotal for effective management and decision-making. Field experiments were conducted to understand the correlation and predict the yellow mosaic disease severity in yard-long beans using visible image indices. A total of 45 visible / Red Green Blue (RGB) indices were derived from the RGB images and correlated with disease severity, and also used as inputs for predicting disease severity using nine machine learning (ML) models.

Assessing the imazethapyr herbicide-induced physio-biochemical consequences and phenol and glutathione-associated detoxification in lentil seedlings.

Lentil is an essential edible legume crop, especially for developing countries, due to the presence of high-quality proteins, fibers, essential vitamins, and mineral nutrients. The short height of this crop is often linked with a slow pace of growth, favoring the suitable space and time for weed incursion. Consequently, the developmental period during the crop growth cycle is shortened, leading to a decline in crop productivity.

Evaluation of lablab bean [ (L.) sweet] genotypes: unveiling superior pod yield, nutritional quality, and collar rot resistance.

Introduction: Malnutrition continues to be a significant concern at unacceptably high levels globally. There is significant potential for addressing malnutrition of human population through the biofortification of climate-resilient vegetables using strategic breeding strategies. Lablab bean [ (L.

Drought and salinity stresses induced physio-biochemical changes in sugarcane: an overview of tolerance mechanism and mitigating approaches.

Sugarcane productivity is being hampered globally under changing environmental scenarios like drought and salinity. The highly complex nature of the plant responses against these stresses is determined by a variety of factors such as genotype, developmental phase of the plant, progression rate and stress, intensity, and duration. These factors influence plant responses and can determine whether mitigation approaches associated with acclimation are implemented.

Conventional and molecular breeding for disease resistance in chickpea: status and strategies.

Chickpea ( L.) is an important grain legume at the global level. Among different biotic stresses, diseases are the most important factor limiting its production, causing yield losses up to 100% in severe condition.

The Spectrum of Invasive Fungal Sinusitis in COVID-19 Patients: Experience from a Tertiary Care Referral Center in Northern India.

This study aimed to determine the patient demographics, risk factors, which include comorbidities, medications used to treat COVID-19, and presenting symptoms and signs, and the management outcome of COVID-19-associated invasive fungal sinusitis. A retrospective, propensity score-matched, comparative study was conducted at a tertiary care center, involving 124 patients with invasive fungal sinusitis admitted between April 2021 and September 2021, suffering from or having a history of COVID-19 infection. Among the 124 patients, 87 were male, and 37 were female.

Oral versus Injectable Antibiotics in Asymptomatic Neonates Born to Mothers with Risk Factors for Sepsis: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To compare oral co-amoxiclav with injectable ampicillin and amikacin for the management of asymptomatic neonates born to mothers with risk factors for infection.

Methods: This open label, randomized controlled trial was conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital on neonates of gestational age ≥ 34 wk with maternal risk factors for infection, who were asymptomatic at birth and accepting breastfeeds. Newborns were randomized to receive either oral co-amoxiclav or injectable ampicillin and amikacin within 1-3 h after birth.
