Also covered are various aspects of legume management under climate change such as, production management technology, ecology & adaptation, diseases, and international trade; physiology and crops response to nutrients, drought, salinity, and water use efficiency; Biodiversity management, molecular approaches and biological Nitrogen fixation; climate change and strategies. This book presents the most comprehensive and up to date review of research on different cool season grain legume crops, nutrients management, biotic and abiotic stresses management, agronomical approaches for drought management, salinity, drought, weed management and water use efficiency, impact on international trade around the world.

Digital Image Enhancement and Reconstruction: Techniques and Applications explores different concepts and techniques used for the enhancement as well as reconstruction of low-quality images. Most real-life applications require good quality images to gain maximum performance, however, the quality of the images captured in real-world scenarios is often very unsatisfactory. Most commonly, images are noisy, blurry, hazy, tiny, and hence need to pass through image enhancement and/or reconstruction algorithms before they can be processed by image analysis applications. This book comprehensively explores application-specific enhancement and reconstruction techniques including satellite image enhancement, face hallucination, low-resolution face recognition, medical image enhancement and reconstruction, reconstruction of underwater images, text image enhancement, biometrics, etc. Chapters will present a detailed discussion of the challenges faced in handling each particular kind of image, analysis of the best available solutions, and an exploration of applications and future directions. The book provides readers with a deep dive into denoising, dehazing, super-resolution, and use of soft computing across a range of engineering applications.

Sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica (Roem) L.) belongs to family cucurbitaceae. It is mostly used as vegetables and different dishes. The results of the present investigation was conducted using partial diallel crosses and evaluated for qualitative and quantitative traits. Among 45 hybrids, cross VR-104 x VR-103 was found to be the highest yielder (2.15 kg. Per vine) and having very attractive colour, shape, size and fruit quality. This hybrid showed 91.62 per cent yield superiority over mid parent, 62.72 per cent over better parent and 101.88 per cent over check. Most of the important traits were governed by dominance gene (h)action. It is also proposed for further evaluation in multi location testing of this hybrid before its commercial exploitation.The overall assessment of the present investigation indicated the importance of additive as well as non-additive genes in the population. Therefore, the breeding plan, which can exploit both type of gene action i.e., recombination breeding with recurrent selection is proposed for the improvement of yield and yield components in sponge gourd.

The book has been divided conveniently into chapters dealing with survey, diagnosis, characterization and management of the viruses infecting papaya (Carica papaya L.). A detailed outline of the viral diseases of papaya is given for ready reference. Described the various types of symptoms appearing on papaya due to virus(es) infection. Besides, this book describes the transmission, dilution end point, thermal inactivation point, longevity in-vitro, isolation and purification of the virus, serological and molecular characterization, electron microscopy. Methodologies of DAC-ELISA, RT-PCR for detection of papaya ring spot virus (PRSV) were also described. This book deals with the eco-friendly management of the viral diseases of papaya though antiviral agents of plant origin. Role of Boerhaavia diffusa and Clerodendron aculeatum against viral diseases have been described. Identification of sources of resistance is mentioned in this book. I feel that this book would be most useful for researchers, scientists, teachers and students engaged in the area of plant virology.

Intelligent multimedia involves the computer processing and understanding of perceptual input from speech, text, videos and images. Reacting to these inputs is complex and involves research from engineering, computer science and cognitive science. Intelligent multimedia processing deals with the analysis of images and videos to extract useful information for numerous applications including medical imaging, robotics, remote sensing, autonomous driving, AR/VR, law enforcement, biometrics, multimedia enhancement and reconstruction, agriculture, and security. Intelligent multimedia processing and computer vision have seen an upsurge over the last few years. With the increasing use of intelligent multimedia processing techniques in various sectors, the requirement for fast and reliable techniques to analyse and process multimedia content is increasing day by day. Intelligent Multimedia Processing and Computer Vision: Techniques and applications reviews cutting edge research in the areas of intelligent multimedia processing and computer vision techniques and applications with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches and novel solutions. The book is aimed at practicing engineers, scientists, technology professionals, researchers and advanced students in the fields of multimedia processing and security, image processing, computer vision, biometrics, intelligent and smart technologies, machine learning and deep learning, and autonomous systems.
