Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.

Characterisation of nano whiskers from kenaf bast and effects on bionanocomposites via solution casting [PDF]
There are limited studies of isolated cellulose whiskers from kenaf bast. Kenaf bast contains less than 30% of total weight, it needs small usage but high performance – high value.

This study examines hybrid composites reinforced with jute, kenaf, and glass fibers, with Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) as a filler. The effects of fiber orientation, sequence, and Al2O3 content on tensile and impact strength were analyzed. ANN outperformed RSM in predictive accuracy, identifying optimal parameters: 90° fiber orientation, three layers, and 5%

Carbon footprint and energy use in jute and allied fibre production
The study examines carbon and energy footprints of jute, kenaf, sunnhemp and flax fibre production systems. Energy productivity was lowest in flax fibre production as compared to other fibre crops. Flax fibre production consumed more chemical fertilizer,

ABSTRACT The depletion of fossil resources, increasing packaging pollution, and stricter regulations require the development of sustainable alternative materials. This study presents POMOPLA2, a fully bio‐based composite that enhances circularity by valorizing industrial tomato peel by‐products within a plasticized polylactic acid (PLA) matrix. A novel

Transcriptomic profiling of hemp bast fibres at different developmental stages
Bast fibres are long extraxylary cells which mechanically support the phloem and they are divided into xylan- and gelatinous-type, depending on the composition of their secondary cell walls.
