Algal Biomass Production and its Utilization
Abstract: Algal biomass production is gaining traction as a promising source of bioenergy due to its rapid growth rate and ability to utilize carbon dioxide emissions. Algae, being photosynthetic organisms, require sunlight, CO2, and optimal growth conditions for biomass increase. Temperature, light intensity, pH, aeration, mixing, and salinity play crucial roles in achieving optimum growth. Algae cultivation can occur in various water resources without competing with conventional agriculture. Microalgae, with their …

Design and Development of Onion Storage Shade for Better Ventilation and Longer Life
Abstract: Onions are one of the most important cash crops for farmers in India and many other countries. However, most harvested onions are lost every year due to improper storage. Traditional storage methods, such as keeping onions in heaps under trees, in closed rooms, or in poorly ventilated sheds, do not provide sufficient airflow. As a result, moisture accumulates, leading to sprouting, fungal growth, rotting, and physical damage. These losses reduce …

Effects of seed and nitrogen with phosphorus fertilizer rates on production of lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Fogera plain, North Western Ethiopia.
Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the main cereal crop in the Fogera. However, crop yields are low due to lack of various agronomic management practices. Among these, lack of site-specific seed rate and fertilizer levels are the major limiting factors. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted at the Fogera National Rice Research and Training Center in 2019 to study the effects of seed and nitrogen with phosphorus fertilizer rates on …

Preliminary In Silico Analysis of Choline Monooxygenase and Betaine Aldehyde Dehydrogenase from Suaeda monoica Forssk. and its Expression in E. coli.
Abstract: AbstractIn a tropical country like India, the yield of crop plants is majorly affected by soil salinity and drought. One of the strategies to address this problem is by introducing genes responsible for salinity/drought tolerance in crop plants. Such genes could be identified and isolated from mangrove plants, as they are known to have evolved certain physiological mechanisms to augment saline environments. One such mechanism is the accumulation of Glycine …
