This study addresses this issue by developing a cost-effective soil monitoring system utilizing Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Our approach integrates real-time data analysis and visualization components to offer timely insights into soil conditions, weather patterns, and crop development, thereby enhancing agricultural decision-making processes. While commercial soil monitoring systems exist, their high cost presents a barrier to widespread adoption, particularly in African contexts. To address this issue, our proposed system utilizes WSN sensor nodes transmitting data to a central database via Arduinos functioning as web servers. This innovative approach extends monitoring capabilities to remote areas beyond the reach of individual nodes, thus promoting accessibility and affordability through the utilization of open-source software. In conclusion, our study aims to revolutionize farming practices in Africa by providing an affordable solution that empowers farmers with actionable insights for optimized agricultural outcomes, thereby aligning with the distinctive African perspective on the theory and practice of information systems.<#LINE#>Ehrlich, P.

We focused on discarded lignin and its usage in the synthesis of nanoparticles and their application as biocontrol agents for garlic crop. By fractionating agricultural waste biomass using the modified organosolv technique, lignin, which served as a capping agent for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles, was obtained and characterized using the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technique, whereas, the analytical investigations of lignin-derived zinc oxide nanoparticles (L-ZnO NPs) were carried out using the NMR, UV- Visible spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy techniques, which validated their production, morphology, shape, and size. The NPs were effective against 3 phyto-pathogenic fungi (Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium proliferatum and Stemphylium vesicarium) that cause dry rot, basal rot, and blight of important cash crop- garlic (Allium sativum) in Himachal Pradesh, India. This was done in a lab setting before a net-house pot trial on garlic, where the L-ZnO NPs demonstrated strong antagonistic efficacy against the phyto-pathogenic fungi. Additionally, the environmentally friendly, cost-effective lignin-derivation from agricultural waste and subsequent lignin-mediated zinc oxide nanoparticle synthesis process would help in the production of numerous value-added materials in the future, as well as a potent antifungal agent for use in agriculture.<#LINE#>Razo, I., Carrizales, L., Castro, J., Diaz, B.F. and Moroy, M.

The process involves controlled recirculation of leachate back into the landfill, enhancing the biodegradation of municipal solid waste and thus increasing its efficiency. To manage large volumes of waste in a landfill, the waste undergoes pre-treatment, which has shown to yield superior results for biodegradation in a shorter time frame compared to untreated waste. This is because pre-treatment leads to lower biogas production and leachate pollution potential. This study focuses on two anaerobic bioreactors out of which one is filled with untreated municipal solid waste (MSW) and the other with windrow compost as treated MSW. The aim is to provide a comparative analysis to examine the effect of treatment on biodegradation and stabilisation in both untreated and treated MSWs. During the ongoing study period of about 10 months, data from the initial 3 months (13 weeks) is shared. Treated waste has shown better results compared to untreated MSW due to its lower pollution potential. It is hypothesized that treated waste will yield superior results throughout the entire study period in terms of environmental sustainability. Stabilisation of waste matrix in treated MSW is expected to be done in almost half duration as compared to that of raw MSW.<#LINE#>Kaza, S., Yao, L., Bhada-Tata, P., & Van Woerden, F.

The therapeutic use of as medicine has been clear. Coordination compounds have power to interact and react with bio as possibly also the complex compounds that palladium and ruthenium or platinum are anti-cancer drugs. Some coordination compounds are antimicrobial. Few complexes are also show potential for disease like Malaria and Alzheimer's, a clear concept of mechanistic level of complex will help to develop new coordination compound in our study the role of metal coordination to work as medicine /Drug is explored.<#LINE#>Uivarosi, V.
