Abstract

The research involved three consecutive trials for each attractant, with traps placed in areas with high snail and slug activity. Glucose, when reacted with yeast, emerged as the most effective attractant, capturing an average of 26 snails/slugs per trial. Beer was the second most effective, with an average capture rate of 17. Sucrose and fructose, both reacted with yeast, performed similarly, with average capture rates of 12.33 and 12, respectively. Statistical analysis using ANOVA and Tukey's HSD test confirmed the significant differences between the attractants, particularly highlighting the superior performance of glucose.The findings suggest that glucose, when combined with yeast, could serve as a potent natural alternative for managing snail and slug populations, offering a safer and more sustainable option compared to chemical pesticides. Beer also shows promise as an effective attractant, particularly in regions where glucose may not be readily available. These results support the potential integration of these natural attractants into broader pest management strategies, aligning with the goals of sustainable agriculture. Future research should explore the long-term efficacy of these attractants and their impact on non-target species to ensure their suitability for widespread use.

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.
