NANO-BOOSTED TOMATOES: UNRAVELLING THE POTENTIAL OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN HYDROPONICS
Abstract: Hydroponics, an innovative soilless plant cultivation technique, has emerged as a sustainable approach for growing tomato crops, addressing challenges like water-use efficiency and reduced reliance on pesticides, contributing to sustainable tomato production. The integration of two cutting-edge technologies, Nanotechnology and Hydroponics, introduces the concept of "smart agriculture." This involves the use of nanofertilizers, often referred to as "smart fertilizers," which facilitate efficient nutrient delivery, leading to enhanced plant growth and …

A Review on Bio-Oil Production from Agricultural Waste Based on Various Processes, Bio-Oil Yield and Energy Recovery
Abstract: Agricultural waste generated through cultivation of crops, vegetables, fruits, and poultry can pollute the environment and affect the health of both humans and animals. Traditionally, most agricultural wastes are either burned or disposed of in landfills which cause acute environmental pollution. These easily accessible and underutilized agro-wastes remain a potential resource for biofuel production. This review analyses several thermochemical and biochemical methods encompassing pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and …

Investigation the Potential of Sugarcane Bagasse for the Production of 5-HydroMethylFurfural
Abstract: The aim of this study was to invesigate the potential of sugarcane bagasse for 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). Nowadays, food crops such as glucose and fructose were the main derived for the production of 5-HMF. The potential of sugarcane bagasse to replace the consumption of glucose and fructose was investigated through studies. Consequently, the primary aim of this research was to explore the feasibility of utilizing bagasse as a source for generating …
