कृषि में बायोडिग्रेडेबल पॉलिमर के अनुप्रयोग और उपयोग In the agriculture sector, biodegradable polymers have become more popular in recent years. In recent years, biodegradable polymers have attracted a lot of interest as a potential replacement for conventional plastic materials in agricultural applications. The impact of plastic trash on land and waterways is lessened by these materials fast and safe environmental breakdown. The use of biodegradable polymers in agriculture has various benefits, including enhanced crop yields and soil health, in addition to reducing waste. Moreover, in the upcoming years, there will be a notable growth in the production of this kind of material. Why do biodegradable polymers exist? A polymer that can undergo total degradation under the influence of environmental microorganisms is known as a biodegradable polymer. When a plastic container reaches the end of its useful life and begins to break down as a result of various environmental factors, we say that it is biodegradable. Following biodegradation, this polymer yields compost, CO2 and water, all of which are reabsorbed by the environment. Origin The packaging business uses a lot of biodegradable polymers that are derived from renewable resources. This indicates that the carbon atoms in their chains of molecules come from the natural world. This is the phenomenon usually known as possessing a "bio-origin·. The...

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, 39% of the world's total millets were produced in India. Although these grains are grown in at least 130 nations, the dominance of rice and wheat has often sent them to the sidelines. Recently, the government renamed it to Shree Ann to draw attention to them. Compared to their more well-known counterparts, millets have a number of benefits. It is tolerant to climate change and can grow in arid areas with fewer inputs. They are inexpensive but a great source of fibre, antioxidants, minerals, proteins, and iron, and they are naturally gluten-free. For anyone with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, high blood...

शून्य बजट प्राकृतिक खेती Zero Budget Natural Farming was developed by Subhash Palekar in the mid-1990s in Maharashtr. Zero budget natural farming totally depends on natural resource and chemical is totally avoided.  In zero budget farming sowing to harvesting cost is zero because external input such as pesticide, fertilizer etc. totally avoid. The farmers income is increased with the help of ZBNF’s and it is guidance towards sustainable farming methods that help to maintain soil fertility, productivity, assure chemical-free agriculture, and ensure a cheap cost of production (zero cost). Zero budget natural farming is eco friendly and create sustainable environment in soil and local areas. So it’s as good agro-ecology model for sustainable point of view. Component of ZBNF: - These are mainly four. Jeevamrutha: - Jeevamrutha is mixture of liquid natural organic fertilizer. It is prepared with mixing of water (200 lit.), cow dung (10 kg) and urine (10 lit.), Pulse flour (2 kg) and jiggery (1 kg) properly for one acre.

कृषि एवं जलवायु परिवर्तन: वनस्पति सूचकांक क्या भूमिका निभाते हैं? Precision farming offers many valuable tools that help assess plant health yield potential and enable more efficient farm management. One such tool is vegetation indices (VIs). Choosing the proper vegetation index that suits your camera equipment, environmental conditions, crop type, and growth stage is crucial to obtaining precise results. Understanding common indices' main benefits and drawbacks is essential for selecting the best one for your business needs. Every object that we see is a reflection of light waves on the electromagnetic spectrum. While visible wavelengths appear in different colors to us, cameras or specialized sensors from satellites, drones, or ground-based devices can detect other wavelengths of light. Plant leaves need to absorb specific wavelengths of light to carry out photosynthesis. They can also reflect light depending on their physical condition and development. Leaf chlorophyll absorb most blue and red light and reflect higher levels of green light. That's why we see plants as green. The reflectivity of leaves increases sharply in the red or near-infrared spectrum. Water absorbs short infrared waves, which are poorly reflected. The crown of a tree and an individual leaf reflect light differently due to the volume and orientation of the leaves and the transmission of light to the plant's...
