A Review on Effect of Various Parameters for Analysis of Rice Yield
Abstract: Climate change represents a transformation in the long-term weather patterns that define various regions across the globe. The term & weather & pertains to the short-term fluctuations in temperature, wind, and precipitation within a specific area. Over time, climate alterations can have diverse effects on agriculture, impacting aspects such as crop quantity, quality, productivity, growth rates, photosynthesis, transpiration rates,and moisture availability, among others. Among all cultivated crops, rice stands out …

Optimization Strategies for Controlling Plant Growth
Abstract: Plant growth regulators (PGR’s) are chemicals used on a wide range of floricultural crops. These plant regulators modulate the plant growth in their own specific way. However, for achieving best results, it is important to understand the various other parameters that increases or decreases the effectiveness of PGR usage. This short review combines together the different environmental and cultural parameters that together with PGRs can affect plant growth. Keywords: drought …

Modern Techniques of Irrigation to Farm
Abstract: Irrigation, often known as watering, is the agricultural practise of applying controlled amounts of water to land to aid in the development of crops, as well as to produce landscaping plants and lawns. Rainfed agriculture is agriculture that does not use irrigation and instead relies solely on direct rainfall. It is the process of artificially hydrating land it does not receive adequate rainfall. It's also the process of applying water …

Climate Change: A Global Issue
Abstract: Our Earth’s climate has transformed throughout history. Climate change is a complex process and it is believed that if we do not firmly curb it now, there are going to be catastrophic consequences. There have been several cycles of glacial advance and retreat. An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains that climate change is primarily because of the human usage of fossil fuels, which releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the …

Utilization of Advance Geopolymer in Concrete: A Review
Abstract: Climate change has several adverse impacts like changes in weather, untimely rains, depleting water, droughts, flash floods, acute and early summer and chilling winter. Equally, another bigger challenge to the society is foul smell whether it is river, pond, drain, public toilets or garbage dump yards. It is due to emission of hydrogen sulphide, methane and other toxic gases. Methane in pure form does not create any foul smell, however …

Global Water Resources with Special Reference to India
Abstract: The world’s water resources face formidable threats. More than a billion people currently live in water-scarce regions, and as many as 3.5 billion could experience water scarcity by 2025. Increasing pollution degrades freshwater and coastal aquatic ecosystems. And climate change is poised to shift precipitation patterns and speed glacial melt, altering water supplies and intensifying floods and drought. 97% of the water on the Earth is salt water and only …

NANOTECHNOLOGY- A TINY POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS?
Abstract: The rapidly increasing population, depleting water resources, and climate change have resulted in prolonged droughts and floods. This has rendered drinking water a competitive resource in many parts of the world. The development of cost-effective and stable materials and methods for providing fresh water in adequate amounts is the need for today’s world. Traditional water/wastewater treatment technologies remain ineffective for providing adequate safe water due to increasing demand of water …
