 Being an agricultural country, India needs adequate supply of electricity to perform farming activities. But unfortunately, the country is unable to supply required power due to unorganized and insufficient power sector. Usually, most of the power is provided to large cities, which results in long power cuts having adverse effect on situations and agricultural productivity as well. Generators are a great way to meet power needs when it comes to operating water pumps or other farming operations requiring electricity. They allow an uninterrupted supply of power throughout the day, allowing the farmers to complete their jobs without any hindrance. Considering the current fuel price in the country, diesel generators have gained huge popularity, owing to their cost efficiency. A one-time investment, a diesel generator can prevent you from the financial loss due to obstruction in work caused because of long power cuts. These generators come with an easy installation and use, and offer p...

 Over the past few years, much has been discussed about GMOs or Genetically Modified Organisms. Scientists, researchers, farmers, end users- all have varied opinions. Some are advocating for its use while the others are in no mood to adopt this technology. Let's have an understanding of GMOs so that you yourself can decide whether it should be promoted or not. 1. What exactly GMOs are! The World Heath Organization (WHO) defines GMOs as organisms whose DNA has been altered in a non-natural way. Similarly, Genetically modified foods are foods that have been genetically altered using engineering techniques. The most common technique that is used now a days is "Recombinant DNA technology". This technology combines different molecules from different plant species to create a plant with a new set of genes, that is, a hybrid plant. 2. Why GMOs ! Scientists genetically engineer GM seeds for many reasons. One of them is producing plants that are more resistant to diseases and pest...

 Ethiopian landscape has both highlands and lowlands which are perfect for agriculture and human habitation. The once drought-driven country has now progressed to its present greenery due to the many hands which worked behind it. Drought, calamities, and diseases have lessened in intensity as well as in its rate of incidence. Combating such disasters and adopting ways to improve life and life-situation have led to the growth of the economy in this country. Ethiopia is a country which is most of the time drought-stricken and prone to soil degradation. But it has the most promising landscape for agriculture and livestock and thus these become the major trade and export of the country. The Ethiopian highlands have the help of human hands and also high tech equipment to make it fertile and suitable for farming. The vegetative farming in the highlands includes spices, coffee, oil as its main product. The farming was predominantly done by the ox-driven farming device for many years. This...

 1. A brief introduction of surfactant 1.1. Agrichemicals and Surfactants The production process of agrichemicals can not be separated from surfactants, pesticides formulations(eg: EC, water emulsion, microemulsion, wettable powder, soluble powder, dispersible granules, granules, etc.), are always added with different types of surfactants. The addition of surfactants greatly reduces the surface tension of the solution and enhances the wettability, spreadability and adhesion of the agrichmicals in the plant or pest surface, thereby improving the efficacy. Currently main surfactants are: fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene, alkyl phenol polyoxyethylene ether, sulfonates, sulfonates, amides, organic silicon and so on. Surfactant itself doesn't have efficacy, but its emulsification and spreading will enhance the efficacy. 1.2. Application of Surfactants Surfactants can be used in two ways: 1). When PH is between 6 to 8, directly added into pesticide/fungicide/foliar fertilizer formulation as...
