Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 661-681, May 2025.
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.

Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Prediction and Optimization of Tensile and Impact Strength in Natural Fiber/Aluminum Oxide Polymer Nanocomposites

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2025.
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%

POMOPLA2 : A Bio‐Based Material Solution Valorizing Tomato By‐Products for Circular Packaging Applications

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 493-503, 15 January 2025.
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
