Drivers and Challenges of Micro‐Irrigation Adoption and Intensity in India: A Study of Four States
ABSTRACT India's food security relies substantially on groundwater, but inefficient irrigation is seriously depleting this resource. Micro‐irrigation (MI) improves irrigation application efficiency and productivity, yet adoption remains low. This study examines MI adoption across four major Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and ...

ABSTRACT Chlorfenapyr (CHL) is a widely used pyrrole insecticide, but its hepatotoxic effects and underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the toxic effects of CHL on rat liver and BRL‐3A hepatocytes and explored the involvement of the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Rats were administered CHL (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) by

ABSTRACT Background: Reliable estimation of carbon (C) inputs from above‐ and belowground residues at different yield levels is crucial, as these inputs drive soil organic carbon (SOC) models for C accounting. Aims: This study quantifies C inputs from different components of winter oilseed rape (WOSR) and compares them with estimates from various ...
