Researchers from BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad, have developed a safer, fluoride-free synthesis method for metal-organic frameworks that significantly boosts their capacity to capture greenhouse gases and store clean fuels at room temperature.
New research examined how a specific type of AI, known as ANFIS, could help predict the yield of several important crops grown in the Nashik region of Maharashtra, India.
ICAR Researchers developed a detailed map showing the areas in Pune most affected by abiotic crop stresses, such as extreme temperatures, drought, poor soil quality, and poor or excessive rains.
New research from Stanford University has discovered a distressing link between coal-fired power plants and the harm they can cause to two of India's most important crops - Rice and Wheat.
Tropospheric ozone is one of the most critical secondary air pollutant that is toxic to plants and causes substantial losses in crop productivity. The continuous rising trend of ozone concentration in India due to the country’s rapid phase of industrialization, pollution and climatic conditions that are conducive for its formation pose a serious threat. Professor S. B. Agrawal and Dr. Aditya Abha Singh present the pattern and prevalence of ground level ozone concentration, its important precursor like oxides of nitrogen and the related crop losses and the magnitude of alterations in the seed quality, which may help the policy makers to check emissions of ozone precursors.
