TL;DR: In this article, the status of pulse crop in India as whole and Bihar in particular along with paradigm shift required in policy decision, pulse research, technology generation and dissemination, commercialization along with capacity building of farmers and frontier areas of research and extension.
Abstract: Though India is the largest producer (around 25% of global production), it however, consumes 27% and imports around 14% of its pulses requirements. The yield of pulses in India is quite low at 781 kg/ha which might be due to policy neglect. The post green revolution era saw a sharp decline in per capita production and availability of pulses with record 4.0 million tones imports of pulses in 2012-13.
Bihar is one of the important pulse growing state of India with productivity of 839.3 Kg/ha in 2010-11 which is projected to attain 1461.3 kg/ha by 2050-51, highest in eastern India. With nearly 2.2 million ha of rice fallows, a small technological intervention can transform the rice- fallow to rice-gram or rice-lentil system bringing about pulse revolution. Need is to diversify from cereal–based cropping systems to pulses-based cropping system with certain policy decision like identification of additional rice fallow lands largely in Eastern India, crop diversification, improving seed replacement rate, improved crop production techniques etc.
Provisions should be made for easy credit, insurance, attractive Minimum Support Price (MSP) with procurement and appropriate incentives for pulse producers as well as creating necessary infrastructure for processing, marketing and value-addition. This paper analyses status of pulse crop in India as whole and Bihar in particular along with paradigm shift required in policy decision, pulse research, technology generation and dissemination, commercialization along with capacity building of farmers and frontier areas of research and extension.

TL;DR: Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) belonging to family Poaceae is a tropical perennial grass used widely for sugar production as mentioned in this paper. But with the help of genetic recombination, sugarcane would roll to produce novel biofuels more efficiently.
Abstract: Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) belonging to family Poaceae is a tropical perennial grass used widely for sugar production. Research scientists have discovered sugarcane as an alternative biofuel source to conventional petroleum fuels that lead to global warming. The sugars extracted from sugarcane can be easily fermented to produce ethanol. In addition, the bagasse (biomass remaining after the juice is extracted from the stalks) can be further used by sugar mills to generate steam and electricity. The current total global production of renewable fuels is 50 billion liters a year, and sugarcane alone accounts for about 40%, thus becoming a major contributor for biofuel production. The tremendous success of sugarcane industry to produce ethanol as biofuel in Brazil has also enhanced the interest in other parts of the world. With conventional technologies, sugarcane can yield several products from fiber to chemicals. But with the help of genetic recombination, sugarcane would roll to produce the novel biofuels more efficiently. Research scientists have identified the key enzymes that can hasten the process of ethanol production more powerfully. There is tremendous potential of sugarcane as a biofactory which can uplift both socioeconomic status of a country and sustainability of natural resources. Now, it’s time to augment weightage to produce biofuels in developing countries like India which would initiate rural development, create more job opportunities, and also save foreign exchange to great extent.

TL;DR: Subgenotype four CSFV isolates, two each from the outbreaks of CSF in wild (Sus scrofa) and domestic pigs of Mizoram state, India, in 2011, revealed the emergence of 2.1.1., thus confirming that the source ofCSF outbreaks in domesticated pigs in Mizorai was not from wild pigs.
Abstract: Background: Limited studies are available on molecular epidemiology of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) in India and are restricted to domestic pigs. These studies show the presence of 1.1. genotype.Hypothesis/objectives: The aim of the present study was to subgenotype four CSFV isolates, two each from the outbreaks of CSF in wild (Sus scrofa) and domestic pigs of Mizoram state, India, in 2011.Animals and methods: CSFV isolates were subjected to nucleotide sequencing in E2 and NS5B genomic regions. Phylogenetic analysis of the isolates in both genomic regions was carried out with 39 Indian isolates (4 isolates from the present study of Mizoram state and 35 isolates from the other states of India) and 57 reference sequences retrieved from the GenBank database. Two of the 39 isolates from India were collected from wild boar and were subgenotyped as 2.1. Out of 37 isolates from domestic pigs, only two were subgenotyped as 2.1.Results: The analysis revealed the emergence of 2.1. subgenotype of CSFV in both ...
