Biopolymer-Based Flocculation for Microplastic Removal: Fenugreek and Okra as Sustainable Alternatives to Synthetic Flocculants
Abstract: Microplastic pollution has emerged as a persistent global environmental concern due to its widespread presence in aquatic ecosystems and potential implications for food chains and human health. Conventional removal approaches, particularly the use of synthetic flocculants such as polyacrylamide (PAM), have demonstrated high removal efficiencies in water treatment applications. However, their use is often associated with environmental concerns including toxicity, non-biodegradable residues, and energy-intensive production processes. In this context, the …

Influence of Plant Density and Nitrogen Application on Yield and Economic Viability of Okra (Cv. Arka Anamika) in Manipur
Abstract: The present study investigated the effect of plant densities and nitrogen levels on yield and economics of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) cv. Arka Anamika under Manipur conditions from April 2021 to August 2021. The experimental field was laid out in the horticulture department of the College of Agriculture at Central Agricultural University, Imphal, India. The experiment was framed in Factorial Randomized Block Design constituting three levels of spacing (S1-60 …

Critical Overview: Preparation of Bioplastics Using Different Reinforcement Fillers
Abstract: The widespread use of synthetic plastics poses a significant threat to the environment due to their nonbiodegradable nature and reliance on nonrenewable petrochemical sources. Among these, single-use plastics are of particular concern as they are difficult to recycle efficiently. To mitigate this issue, bioplastics offer a promising alternative, as they are derived from renewable sources and are biodegradable. Bioplastics are produced using natural materials, such as plant, animal, and microbial …
