Biochar, the carbon-rich material produced from biomass pyrolysis, has garnered significant attention and research interest owing to its myriad of potential benefits for soil enhancement. These benefits range from increasing soil carbon storage, boosting soil fertility, to transforming and fixing pollutants in soil, all of which serve to ameliorate...

Parthenium hysterophorus L. of the Asteraceae (tribe: Heliantheae), is an erect and heavily branching annual or ephemeral herb most known for its function as an environmental, medical, and agricultural hazard. It is thought to have been transported into India and Australia from North America, and it has recently emerged as the sixth most destructiv...

This synthesis consolidates current research on sustainable agriculture and its pivotal role in enhancing food security, conserving biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. Sourced from a wide array of references, it accentuates exercises such as organic farming, agroforestry, and diversified farming systems as cornerstone approaches, sustainab...

It aims to examine the impact of nano and non-nano fertilizers on rice quality and productivity. Rice is a staple food crop for a large portion of the global population, the use of fertilizers is essential for optimizing yields and maintaining food security. The emergence of nano-fertilizers presents new opportunities for enhancing nutrient use eff...

Bioremediation uses microorganisms to destroy or immobilize waste materials. Microorganisms include archaea, bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes. Microorganisms destroy organic contaminants when they are using chemicals for their growth and reproduction. Although it is an old technique, it is still frequently used to remove environmental contaminants...

Piperine, the active molluscicidal component of Piper nigrum caused a significant reduction in the fecundity, hatchability and survival of the snail Lymnaea acuminata in each month of the year Nov-2011 to Oct-2012. Feeding of bait containing 40% of 24hLC 50 of piperine with attractant starch caused maximum (1124 eggs/ 20 snails) and minimum (327 eg...

The 24, 48, 72 and 96h LC 50 values of Piper nigrum fruit powder and their other preparations were determined for snail Lymnaea acuminata and Indoplanorbis exustus. These snails are vectors of the fluke Fasciola gigantica, which causes endemic fascioliasis in cattle of this region. The toxicity of active component piperine (96h LC 50 :1.44, 0.82 mg...

The present study optimized the regeneration protocol by using leaf explant in Vigna mungo (L) silvestris organogenesis. Primary immature leaf segment were inoculated on MS medium supplemented with 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (0.5 μM to 72.5 μM), naphthaleneacetic acid (0.5 μM to 72.0 µM). Callus initiation was observed in all media evaluated a...
