Agricultural Drone: Next Generation Safe & Precision Farming
Agricultural drones can make our farming safe and precise. The prime role these drones will play is in the application of fertilizer, pesticides and nutrients including the liquid and foliar ones. Such applications are not only precise but also efficient. Our farmers will be saved from health hazards caused by manual application of chemical inputs. Targeted spray done by the drones will also save money as lesser inputs will be used.
Integrated Orchard Management: Planning for Long-Term Success
Establishing an orchard is a long-term process that requires extensive planning and investment. An integrated orchard is a diversified mix of fruit and multi-purpose plants growing together that contains a wide variety to be more productive and sustainable. On the other hand, an integrated management approach for orchards means a system that includes details on the usage of chemicals for pest and disease control, the source of all planting materi
Genome Engineering for Future Agriculture
Genome editing is widely used across plant species to generate and study the impact of functional mutations in crop improvement. However, transgene integration in plant genomes raises important legislative concerns regarding genetically modified organisms.
Genome editing methods have been developed to introduce precise and predictable genome modifications into plants to achieve the desired features, and they are giving rise to precision breeding
The Ecological Development of C4 Plants
C4 photosynthesis is a physiological phenomenon caused by a number of anatomical and metabolic components that work together to enhance CO2 concentrations near Rubisco while decreasing photorespiration
Introducing Industrial Seed Potato Variety – Valencia from Netherlands
Bangladesh stands 7th in the global ranking of potato production and grows over 10 million MT which is 3.15% of global production and most of it is table potato. Only 2% of our potatoes are processed for chips and crackers
Should we adopt More Modern Greenhouses?
In recent decades, the greenhouse industry has evolved from small-scale research or aesthetic facilities (i.e. botanic gardens) to much larger-scale industrial facilities. Currently the global greenhouse market produces nearly US$350 billion in vegetables per year
