Advances in Geophysics, Volume 61 - Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Geosciences, the latest release in this highly-respected publication in the field of geophysics, contains new chapters on a variety of topics, including a historical review on the development of machine learning, machine learning to investigate fault rupture on various scales, a review on machine learning techniques to describe fractured media, signal augmentation to improve the generalization of deep neural networks, deep generator priors for Bayesian seismic inversion, as well as a review on homogenization for seismology, and more.

This book gives the routinely used analytical methods for soil, water, fertilizers and manures as single source. It is mainly meant for teaching research in soil chemistry, soil fertility and fertilizers production and water quality. As the plant growth and development are essentially related to these fields, all analytical procedures are given for plant in-organic constituents. The present work is unique in that sense it includes all tested proved and widely used methods along with principles and apt interpretations for determination of nutrients in plant and soil and quality of fertilizers and water, which are concern with plant growth.

This book comprises 41 s dealing various issues, prospects and importance of conservation agriculture practices followed across different regions with special emphasis on rainfed regions. We hope this book on conservation agriculture will be highly useful to researchers, scientists, students, farmers and land managers for efficient and sustainable management of natural resources.

New Pesticides and Soil Sensors, a volume in the Nanotechnology in the Agri-Food Industry series, is a practical resource that demonstrates how nanotechnology is a highly attractive tool that offers new options for the formulation of 'nanopesticides'. Recent advances in nanopesticide research is reviewed and divided into several themes, including improvement of the water solubility of poorly soluble pesticide active ingredients to improve bioavailability and the encapsulation of pesticide active ingredients within permeable nanoparticles with the aim of releasing pesticide active ingredients in a controlled or targeted manner, while also protecting active ingredients from premature photo-degradation.
