Harnessing Pheromone Traps for Sustainable Insect Pest Management

Nabadeep Saikia Abstract: The excessive use of chemical pesticides in modern agriculture has led to multiple challenges, including resistance development, resurgence of secondary pests and ecological imbalance. In this context, pheromone traps have emerged as one of the most promising tools for eco-friendly and species-specific pest management. Pheromones, the natural Read more

Emerging Zoonotic Diseases and the Role of Livestock in One Health Perspectives

Pranita Das Abstract: Zoonotic diseases, transmitted between animals and humans, represent a major global health threat due to their capacity for rapid emergence and cross-species transmission. The intensification of livestock production, expanding human–animal interfaces and environmental disturbances have collectively increased the risk of zoonotic spillovers. Livestock play a pivotal role Read more

Cultivating Equality in Women and Farm Mechanization for an Inclusive Agricultural Future

Pallavi Deka Abstract: Across the rural landscapes of India and other developing regions, women sustain the rhythm of agriculture. They plant, harvest, manage livestock and preserve food systems, yet their contributions are often unseen and undervalued. Mechanization offers a powerful pathway to ease their drudgery, enhance efficiency and promote gender Read more

Quantum Computing Transforming Science and Society with Applications Challenges and Future Pathways

Ratul Nath Abstract: Quantum Computing (QC) represents a paradigm shift from classical computing by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics superposition, entanglement and tunneling. Unlike conventional bits that exist in binary states (0 or 1), qubits exist in multiple states simultaneously, enabling exponential computational advantages for specific problem classes. The Read more

Role of Integrated Livestock Based Farming Systems in Sustainable Agriculture

Dipankar Hazarika, Pradip Rajbongshi Abstract: Farmers around the world face the challenge of producing enough food while protecting the environment and securing their livelihoods. Integrated farming systems, which bring together crops, livestock, fish and horticulture, offer a way to meet these challenges in a balanced and efficient manner. Livestock often Read more
