Union Budget 2026 Signals a Shift: From Farm Subsidies to Outcome-Driven Agricultural Research
11 Mar 2026
The Union Budget 2026 for agriculture marks a decisive recalibration of India’s farm policy, signalling a gradual transition from a subsidy-reliant, relief-driven approach to a more technology-enabled, outcome-oriented, and sustainability-focused growth paradigm.
Application of Guar Gum for Oil and Gas Industry: A Green Biopolymer
31 Oct 2025
Guar gum powder is extracted from the guar seeds after a multistage industrial process. The production technique depends upon the desired product.
Biochar and Microbial Application for Carbon Dioxide Removal
15 Oct 2025
Combining biochar with soil microbial communities can enhance soil health, nutrient cycling, and agricultural productivity. Being a stable carbonaceous material, biochar offers multiple benefits by improving soil’s physical, chemical, and biological properties.
Emerging Technologies and Debates: Nano-agri-inputs and Products
02 Sep 2025 | Dr Palash Kumar Manna
Nano-agri-inputs could be the next big leap in sustainable farming, with the ability to boost yields and cut emissions—but their real-world impact will rest on scientific rigour, careful regulation, and farmer trust.

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can create sustainable rural employment by leveraging ecosystem restoration, agroforestry, and sustainable farming. With potential to generate 20 million jobs by 2030, NbS offers long-term livelihood opportunities for India's rural workforce.
Mycorrhiza and Bacteria-Enriched Microbiomes
19 Sep 2024
Mycorrhizae are beneficial soil fungi that establish a symbiotic association with host plant roots. In nature, they also associate with bacteria during different stages of their life cycle. Cross-kingdom associations formed between plant roots and mycorrhizae have been proficient in positively influencing plant growth as these associations are evolutionarily selected and maintained in nature, and are hence more powerful than introduced, non-native, combinations of biofertilizer bacterial strains.
Impact of Nature-based Innovative Biofertilizers on Agriculture
10 Apr 2024
Global climate changes have resulted in unexpected drought, extreme temperatures, excessive rainfall, and unanticipated storms, causing disasters that had never occurred in the past. Considering this, establishment of an environment friendly mechanism is of vital importance. In recent years, there has been an unrestricted and unchecked use of agrochemicals to obtain higher yield which on the flip side has given rise to several agricultural problems and damaged soils.
