Kikon, Aotola Aier, Neelima RawatThe article discusses the importance of seed viability and vigour in ensuring successful germination, emergence, crop establishment, and long-term plant survival. It explains how genetic, environmental, and storage factors influence seed performance. It highlights the role of seed banks in ecosystem regeneration and biodiversity conservation. The article further describes seed viability, seed vigour, physiological and biochemical ageing, seed bank dynamics, effects of storage conditions, and various methods for testing viability and vigour (physical, physiological, and biochemical tests). Proper seed storage, seed conditioning, and scientific testing are essential for maintaining high-quality seeds for agriculture and ecological restoration.Item Plant Growth Hormones: Concept, Types and Their Role in Field Crop Production(Agri Magazine (Online International E-Magazine), 2025) Pratiksha Kalpana Tukaram Garje, Shabbeer Ahmad, Dr. Shikha Chaudhary, Ms. Shiwani Vishwakarma, Samudrapu Sanjay RajThis article explains the concept of plant growth hormones (phytohormones), their types, biosynthesis pathways, mechanisms of action, and applications in field crop production. Key hormones discussed include auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene, along with newer regulators like jasmonates, salicylates, brassinosteroids, peptide hormones, and small RNAs. The article details how hormones influence plant development, yield, grain quality, stress tolerance, and commercial applications in agriculture, horticulture, tissue culture, fruit set, herbicides, sugarcane growth, and malting barley.Item The Future of Farming: How AI Enhances Crop Yield and Sustainability(Agri Magazine (Online International E-Magazine), 2025) Muchapothula Shiva Prasad, Mamta J. Patange, Dr. Shubhangi J. Dhage, Shabbeer Ahmad, Aman KumarThis article explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming agriculture by improving crop yields, optimizing resource use, and enhancing sustainability. It highlights AI applications such as robotic automation, drones, machine learning, precision farming, predictive analytics, and genetic innovations. The article further discusses real-world success stories in AI adoption, identifies major challenges including technological gaps, social barriers, high costs, and data privacy concerns, and proposes solutions through policy reforms, training, and infrastructure development. The future of AI-powered farming includes smart seeds, advanced robots, blockchain-based supply chains, and climate-resilient decision systems.Item Genetic Manipulation for Crop Improvement with an Advance Technique (CRISPR-Cas9)(Agri Articles (Online E-Magazine), 2024) Manasi Singh, Yatharth Mishra, Padmini Ganga, Pallavi KumariThis article discusses how genetic manipulation—particularly CRISPR-Cas9—enables precise editing of DNA to improve crop traits. It explains the CRISPR mechanism, including Cas9-mediated DNA cutting and repair, and outlines applications in agriculture, medical science, ecology, and livestock improvement. It highlights ethical issues such as off-target effects, biosafety concerns, GMO release, biodiversity reduction, and regulatory challenges. The article concludes with future prospects including improved crop yields, enhanced resilience, and broader applications such as space exploration and climate change mitigation.Item बीज अंकुरण के उचित पर्यावरण एवं संयोजन(Agri Articles (Online E-Magazine), 2025) मयन्सी सिंह, आयुषी सिंह, चिराग चतुर्वेदी, यथार्थ मिश्रायह लेख बीज अंकुरण की संपूर्ण प्रक्रिया, आवश्यक पर्यावरणीय स्थितियाँ, बीजों के प्रकार, अंकुरण चरण, बाहरी और आंतरिक कारक, और हाइपोजियल/एपिजियल अंकुरण जैसे विभिन्न जैविक तंत्रों का विस्तृत विवरण प्रस्तुत करता है। इसमें जल, तापमान, ऑक्सीजन, प्रकाश, मिट्टी की दशाओं तथा बीज सुप्तावस्था की भूमिका पर विशेष जोर दिया गया है।Item Processing Technologies for Improved Utilization of Pulses(New Era Agriculture, 2025) Ujjwal Singh, Nikkondi Chandra Prabha, Divyadarshan R, Rathod Sridhar, Jatoth Uday BhargavItem Drought Tolerance in Crops(New Era Agriculture, 2025) Padmini Ganga, Piyusha Singh, Javed, Yatharth Mishra, Manasi Singh, Ayushi Singh, Muskan SinghDrought is one of the most severe abiotic stresses limiting global crop productivity, affecting approximately 26% of the world’s arable land. Climate change has increased the frequency and severity of drought events, threatening food security in many regions. Drought stress in plants leads to physiological water deficiency, disrupting growth, photosynthesis, nucleic acid and protein synthesis, and nitrogen metabolism. To cope with drought conditions, plants employ multiple resistance strategies, including drought escape, dehydration avoidance, and dehydration tolerance. Morphological adaptations such as enhanced root systems, reduced leaf area, and stomatal modifications, along with physiological and biochemical mechanisms like osmotic adjustment, antioxidant activity, and stress protein synthesis, contribute to drought tolerance. Addressing drought stress in agriculture requires an integrated approach combining molecular tools, morpho-physiological analyses, and conventional breeding strategies to develop drought- resistant crop varieties and ensure food security in the face of global climate change.Item Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Mechanism(The Pustakalaya, 2025) Mubeen, Pratiksha, Nadeem Khan, Abhishek KumarItem Soil Enzymes and Their Methods of Determination(EdTech Publications, Vikas Nagar, Lucknow, U.P., India, 2025) Shashank Singh, Shashi Bhushan Singh, Kaushalanand, Shubhangi Singh, Shubhendu SinghSoil enzymes are vital for nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition, acting as sensitive indicators of soil health and fertility. Multiple analytical methods have been developed to assess their activities, each with unique principles and applications. Spectrophotometric methods use chromogenic substrates for simple and reproducible measurements. Titrimetric approaches quantify products like ammonium via acid-base titration. Fluorometric assays offer high sensitivity and rapid, multiplexed analysis. Radioisotopic techniques provide precise results but pose safety concerns. Manometric and electrode-based methods measure gas changes and pH shifts, respectively. Chromatographic methods (HPLC, GC) enable detailed product separation, while capillary electrophoresis offers high-resolution analysis of ionic species, supporting comprehensive evaluation of diverse soil enzyme functions.
