Abstract

Bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae, poses a severe threat to pomegranate (Punica granatum) cultivation, leading to significant economic losses and reduced fruit quality. Traditional chemical control methods have proven inadequate and environmentally harmful, highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives. This study investigates the potential of biological control as a viable solution for managing bacterial blight in pomegranates. We explore the efficacy of antagonistic microorganisms, including Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Trichoderma spp., in suppressing the pathogen through mechanisms such as antibiosis, competition, and induced systemic resistance. Field trials demonstrate significant reductions in disease incidence and severity, alongside improved plant growth and yield. This research underscores the promise of integrating biocontrol agents into comprehensive disease management strategies, paving the way for a more sustainable and productive future in pomegranate agriculture.

Abstract

The agricultural sector in India is at a critical juncture, facing the dual challenges of meeting the growing food demand and addressing the environmental consequences of traditional farming practices. This research paper investigates the impact of zero carbon emission farming as a sustainable alternative to conventional agriculture. Zero carbon emission farming aims to minimize or eliminate carbon emissions through practices such as organic farming, agroforestry, and conservation agriculture. Economically, the adoption of these practices can lead to cost savings for farmers in the long term, although initial investments in green technologies may pose challenges. Socially, the acceptance and implementation of zero carbon farming practices among Indian farmers depend on factors such as awareness, education, and access to resources. This study underscores the need for concerted efforts by the government, private sector, and civil society to support the widespread adoption of zero carbon emission farming. Recommendations include policy incentives, increased investment in research and development, and comprehensive farmer education programs. The paper concludes that while the transition to zero carbon farming presents challenges, it also offers significant opportunities for advancing sustainable agricultural development in India.

Abstract

The role of digitalization in ensuring food security through optimized resource management and distribution is examined, alongside the integration of AI, Machine Learning, and IoT in agricultural education and management, especially under the National Education Policy 2020. The study also covers advancements in cattle health and livestock management, precision agriculture in fruit cultivation, and the role of Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) in digitally supporting farmers. Additionally, it discusses the promotion of natural and organic farming practices through initiatives like Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) and the growth of digital marketplaces for organic produce. By synthesizing data from various sources, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of India’s digital agriculture landscape, underscoring its contribution to a more sustainable and productive sector and positioning India as a global leader in digital agriculture.
