With the agricultural sector facing mounting pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, greater emphasis has been placed on improving existing components and practices, such as soil health and biodiversity, which have since emerged as key components to achieving regenerative agriculture. Sensors provide the opportunity to measure crop and soil health at unparalleled scales and resolution. Key developments in sensor technology will help improve our current understanding and optimisation of the complex agricultural systems that make up our global ecosystem. Advances in sensor technology for sustainable crop production provides a comprehensive review of the wealth of research on key developments in sensor technology to improve monitoring and management of crop health, soil health, weeds and diseases. This collection also reviews advances in proximal and remote sensing techniques to monitor soil health, such as spectroscopy and radiometrics, as well as how sensor technology can be optimised for more targeted irrigation, site-specific nutrient and weed management.

This book is exclusively structured around chromatography techniques and is unique in the market for catering to these needs. It provides a complete description of experimental methodologies in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), ion chromatography (IC), and paper chromatography. Numericals are provided along with solutions at the end of chapters. A complete theoretical description, along with all necessary equations, is included in this book. Techniques such as paper chromatography, gel permeation chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, liquid-liquid partition chromatography, adsorption chromatography, and column chromatography are discussed in a lucid manner, and their practical utilities are properly addressed. Instrumentation related to HPLC, GC, and ion chromatography is discussed with diagrams in a comprehensible fashion. Column chemistry in relation to the mobile phase is specially mentioned so that students and lab technicians engaged in laboratory workflows can benefit. Special reference to pesticide residue is made for each chromatographic technique, which will benefit food testing laboratories. Method optimization for both HPLC and GC is detailed, providing a ready reference for method development. Method validation for both HPLC and GC, with Excel spreadsheets, has been properly incorporated so that students, lab technicians, and experts from the food industry and pharmaceuticals can refer to this book for a conceptual framework.The ultimate goal of this book is to assist learners, including students, food analysts, and pharmaceutical technicians, in understanding method development, method validation, and troubleshooting with practical examples and proper experimental layouts. The content and treatment of the subject matter are considered most appropriate for university students studying chromatography who wish to learn how to use data for various parameters such as linearity, repeatability, limit of quantitation (LOQ), and limit of detection (LOD). True data are illustrated in Excel spreadsheets, and solutions are provided in a stepwise manner to ensure that all stakeholders can properly grasp the concepts. Concepts such as theoretical plates, plate height, resolution, selectivity, and the Van Deemter equation are demonstrated with practical data, and solutions are addressed in a simplistic manner. The ICH (International Consortium for Harmonization), SANTE guidelines, and other regulatory compliances have been intentionally incorporated to facilitate the NABL accreditation of laboratories across the country. Measures of Uncertainty (MoU) are given full attention and exemplified in Excel datasheets so that all PG students and other personnel can become acquainted with the methodology used in elucidating the MoU.

This handbook provides a holistic overview of different aspects of energy management in agriculture with an orientation to address the sustainable development goals. It covers possible applications not only from a technical point of view, but also from economic, financial, social, regulatory, and political viewpoints. Agriculture is one of the most imperative sectors that contribute to the economy across different agro-ecologies of the universe with energy inputs in each stage of production, from making and applying chemicals to fueling tractors that lay seeds and harvest crops to electricity for animal housing facilities. The majority of agricultural research has focused on the use of input, production, and productivity, whereas rational energy budgeting and use remain an overlooked and likely underestimated segment, ignored so far while formulating agro-ecosystem framework. Energy management study is a new frontier of agriculture and is challenging duе to complex enterprises, spatial-temporal variability, exposure to pollution, and the predominant effect of the anthropogenic factor on ecology and environment. But it is worth taking the challenge considering the important prerequisite role of energy for sustainable development which has been evidenced from increasing research in recent times. Of recent origin, there are critical, in-depth studies around the globe assessing the capture and flow of energy in the ecosystem, which will help to develop a conceptual framework to incorporate this vital resource in the agriculture management template. This book is a state-of-the-art resource for a broad group of readers including a diversity of stakeholders and professionals in universities, public energy institutions, farmers and farming industry, public health and other relevant institutions, and the broader public as well.
