AbstractThis review paper took a cursory look at the important role and benefits of artificial intelligence in agriculture. The paper identified and enumerated the two major components of AI as: (1) Growth is driven by cognitive intelligence and (2) Image-based insights generation. In the use of cognitive intelligence AI makes use of proximity sensing and remote sensing while in imagebased insights generation. AI uses in depth field analysis and scanning of fields using Cognitive Vision Techn...
The publication is about an innovative method of crop protection by encouraging natural microbial potency in mitigating the problem in one hand and in other hand lees reliance on harmful chemicals. The publication has an overview of this new technology and methods to achieve in the lab as well as in field condition. The publication would be a piece of good backup information if any researcher of plant protection is aiming to work in this direction.
This paper reviews the implications of environmental contamination on Nigerian biodiversity and ecosystem services aimed at identifying the causes, effects and remediation strategies. Literatures on concept of environmental contamination, biodiversity and ecosystem services were discussed. Environmental contaminants are known to be naturally occurring compounds, but anthropogenic activities introduce them in large quantities in different environmental compartments.
