Role of next generation breeding tools in climate resilient horticultural crops The recently developed new generation breeding tool Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR Associated 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) plays an important role in crop improvement due to its simplicity, high efficiency and accuracy compared to other existing molecular breeding tools. The discovery of CRISPR/Cas9 technology has made it possible to eliminate undesirable genes or introduce desired additional gene fragments, in addition to precisely modifying the genome by introducing single nucleotide changes आक्रमणकारी विदेशी डीएनए की प्रतिक्रिया में CRISPR-Cas9 प्रणाली की क्रिया को तीन चरणों में विभाजित किया जा सकता है: (i) अधिग्रहण चरण - आक्रमणकारी डीएनए की पहचान की जाती है और लक्ष्य डीएनए...

Current status and list of some important medicinal plants in Himachal Pradesh The importance of medicinal plants in traditional health care practices as well as in providing clues to new areas of research and biodiversity conservation is now widely acknowledged.

Right time and right method of beekeeping Generally, beekeeping can be done throughout the year, but the time from January to March is considered quite suitable for this. Whereas the time from November to February is beneficial for the business. Beekeeping should be done when there is continuous availability of suitable flowers, so that nectar and Pollen should be available in abundance. मधुमक्खी को पालने के विज्ञान को मधुमक्खी पालन कहते हैं I कृषि आधारित उद्यम शुरू करने के लिए मधुमक्खी पालन अति आवश्यक है I मधुमक्खी पालन को एक दिलचस्प रूचि, अतिरिक्त व्यवसाय तथा पराग प्रवंधन से जोड़ कर व्यावसायिक उद्यम के रूप में अपनाया जा सकता है I मधुमक्खियों की प्रजातियाँ...

Organic solution for making soil fertile – Sanjeevak Sanjeevak is a type of organic solution which contains beneficial microorganisms for farming in abundance. When this solution is poured into a moist field, they rapidly increase their numbers and decompose the organic matter and inert nutrients already present in the soil and make them available to the plants, along with improving the general structure of the soil. Also helpful in improving. यह एक सर्वमान्य तथ्य है की वर्त्तमान कृषि में रासायनिक खाद और हानिकारक कृषि रसायनो का उपयोग बहुत अधिक बढ़ गया है और इससे न सिर्फ पर्यावरण बल्कि मृदा के पारिस्थितिक तंत्र पर भी बहुत नकारात्मक प्रभाव पढ़ रहा है l मिटटी...

मोटे अनाज उत्पादन का मशीनीकरण और कठिन परिश्रम में कमी Several elements contribute to millet cultivation restrictions; like lack of awareness, weed infestation, labour intensive crops, limited research and many more. The researchers have put considerable efforts to make its cultivation easy and solve several challenges. In millet cultivation higher demand and drudgery of women in production, post-harvest processing, lower profitability compared to alternative crops, etc are reasons for neglecting them in farming as well as its use as food. It is thought that the Millets have existed for roughly 7,000 years. They are predominantly grown in Asia and Africa, with Nigeria, China, Niger, and India being the top producers. In 2022,...
