It features the original research in all branches of Agricultural Economics and Statistics and other cognate sciences of sufficient relevance. The journal publishes three types of articles. i.e. Review/Strategy/Case study (exclusively by invitation from the personalities of eminence), Research paper and Research Note. The manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate with CD in all respect to the Managing Director, Hind Agri-Horticultural Society,</div> Hind Agri-Horticultural Society en-US Asian Science 0973-4740 Mathematical Modeling of Two-Dimensional Unconfined Flow in Aquifers https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/As/article/view/169460 Derivation of general equation for two-dimensional aquifer flow is given. In this derivation we perform a volume balance instead of a mass balance and obtained analytical solutions of two-dimensional saturated flow under various condition. We also constructed transient unconfined groundwater flow equation by combining continuity equation with the Darcy law and provide an analytical solution. R. V. Waghmare S. B. Kiwne 2017-12-01 2017-12-01 12 Improving the Quality of the Arabic Lesson through Contextual Learning https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/As/article/view/169462 This research describes how the improvement quality of Arabic lesson that is conducted by Arabic teacher in MAN 3 Jambi city by using action research approach. The results that are obtained are; (1) learning Arabic in Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 3 in Jambi city tendstextual toward the existing curriculum, subject teacher hasn’t done learning innovation, (2) inexpedient factors between the acquisition of learning results and quality standard and low level proficiency of mastering Arabic by learners in listening, writing, reading and speaking,(3) quality improvement of Arabic lessons can be done by applying contextual learning model. This learning model gives freely opportunity to the students to empower themselves. Contextual learning greater emphasis on students’ needs, student potential empowerment, improvement of self-awareness, delivering knowledges that are functional for life and the assessment that measures in mastering the knowledge completely. In applying contextual learning model, there are some main components that must be done, there are: constructivism, the process of discovering, questioning, learning community, modeling, reflection and assessment.

Drying experiments were executed under infra-red and hot air temperature of 60°C with two levels of air velocities: 0.8 m/s and 1.4 m/s. the drying rate was found to increase proportionately with the drying air velocity, thereby minimising the total drying time. Time taken for drying ginger slices from an initial moisture content of 442 per cent (d.b.) to a final moisture content of 8.4 per cent (d.b.) at 0.8 m/s air velocity was 300 min. Whereas, it took 210 min to lower the moisture content of ginger from 433.33 per cent (d.b.) to 6.67% (d.b.) under the drying air velocity of 1.4 m/s. Infrared drying temperature of 60°C in combination with air velocity of 0.8 m/s showed better results for quality evaluation with reduced drying times. Logarithmic model fitted the experimental data well for the whole range of temperatures (R<sup>2</sup>= 0.9989, RMSE= 0.0119 and λ<sup>2</sup>= 0.000140574). P. V. Alfiya S.

He was one who known as the father of the green revolution, also the back bone for green research findings of high-yield varieties of wheat and rice in India. Also, administrative contributions towards various green initiations. Today in the era of computing will deliver growth in various fields, including industries called Industry 4.0 in, similar to that Information and Communication Technology obtain development in various fields, which directly and indirectly related to our agriculture. Even Agriculture needs to be getting various up-gradation by which not simply by hardware and software. The modern scientific societies state that the era of developing software applications is not enough for the next generation growth, it needs technology growth for today’s findings. As same Identifying and incorporating, those innovative technologies based scientific findings for delivering the solution for next generation green revolution is the most challenging issue today.
