Increasing demonstrative and man-induced behaviour has made soils polluted all over the world leads to the health of the people. Nowadays, heavy metal stress influences a great decrease in the quality and quantity of the agricultural produce which ultimately leads to a great threat to the population health. An increase in bioavailable Tin (Sn) in t...

Drought is the most serious stress which limits agricultural growth and its development and further leads to a great risk to the world food-security. Drought related stress mainly occurs in arid and semiarid regions, in the conditions of shortage of rainfall, intense temperature fluctuation, salinity, high intense light. The dry spell of weather ov...

Herbicides are most popular and effective for weed management due to their higher efficacy and time saving nature. But the continued use of herbicides created many problems like weed resistance, shift weed in shift flora, and environment hazards. From these all problems herbicide resistance is very serious problem in present time all over the world...

Drought stress is one of the most important environmental stresses which limits the plant growth, inhibits crop production and worldwide distribution. It mainly occurs in the condition of low rainfall, high and low temperature, salinity, high intensity of light. The dry spell of weather over a certain period of time may leads to the condition of dr...

Various biotic and abiotic stresses affect plant growth and development. Among them, Drought stress also concerning abiotic stress that affects the growth and development of the plant. It can also affect the quality as well as quantity of agricultural produce and ultimately leads to plant death in severe stress conditions. Plants have different mec...

There are many ways that chromium is used in industry has resulted in its status as a serious environmental pollutant in the modern world. It is of recent concern that soil and water may be contaminated with chromium (Cr) due to its presence in the environment. When it comes to the toxicity of chromium, the level of toxicity is determined by the va...

Abiotic stresses, which include high salt accumulation, drought, high temperature, heavy metal stress, light, lack of nutrients, radiation, and many others, pose a constant threat to plants living in an environment that is in a state of constant change. The productivity, as well as the quality of the crops, may be significantly reduced as a result...

The present innovation describes the novel formulation to improve the quality of mustard oil cake and process thereof. Mustard (Brassica napus) is an excellent plant protein source with good essential amino acid profile. Micro-nutrient sulphur is applied to the fields of mustard plants as a foliar spray at different concentration to access the effe...

Honey bee dance has been intensively studied as a communication system, and yet we still know very little about the neurobiological mechanisms supporting how dances are produced and interpreted. Here, we discuss how new information on the functions of the central complex (CX) of the insect brain might shed some light on possible neural mechanisms o...
