Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • A comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms for plant disease detection using leaf images   Order a copy of this article
    by Rizwan Ali, Ihtisham Ali, Maqbool Khan, Arshad Iqbal 
    Abstract: This research aimed to evaluate how effectively machine learning algorithms identify plant diseases, with the goal of providing an automated solution for agriculture. The study focused on determining the most accurate model for detecting diseases from plant leaf images, as separating healthy and infected leaves is essential for reliable diagnosis. The algorithms examined included support vector classifier, decision tree (DT), K-nearest neighbour (KNN), random forest classifier (RFC), and na

  • Evaluation of waste secondary cellulose acetate in growth medium for eucalyptus clonal nursery production   Order a copy of this article
    by Roby Mathew, Tarur Konikkaledom Dinesh, Sreejith Valiavalappil, Demlapura S. Gurumurthy, G.V.S. Saiprasad 
    Abstract: Nursery growers employ various techniques to promote the high-quality root system in saplings to ensure successful plantations. Experiments were carried out to determine the effect of using waste secondary cellulose acetate (SCA) in production of rooted plants of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and it was compared with plant produced with commercial growth medium comprising vermiculite. The experiment involved using three different sources of waste SCA to replace 20% of vermiculite in the rooting medium mixture. The bulk density of SCA-based rooting medium ranged between 0.070.1 gcm3 with high water holding capacity. The rooting medium containing SCA did not exhibit any phyto-toxicity on germination of different types of seeds evaluated. The rate of germination was found to be faster in the rooting medium containing SCA and this medium was able to produce 96 % rooting in E. camaldulensis and 100% rooting in Casurina junghuhniana. Plants grown in the rooting medium containing SCA exhibited higher fresh weight (43%), shoot length (22%), root length (4%), and root biomass (10%) compared to those grown in traditional rooting medium.
