नेपालमा गोलभेंडाको कीरा (Helicoverpa armigera) नियन्त्रणका लागि जैविक कीटनाशकहरूको प्रभावकारिता मूल्यांकन

त्रिभुवन विश्वविद्यालय, नेपालका अनुसन्धानकर्ताहरूले गोलभेंडा फलकीरा नियन्त्रणका लागि छवटा जैविक कीटनाशकहरूको परीक्षण गरे। क्लोरान्ट्रानिलिप्रोल र स्पिनोसाड सबैभन्दा प्रभावकारी देखिए। यस अध्ययनले रासायनिक कीटनाशकको सट्टा दिगो र सुरक्षित समाधानतर्फको बाटो खोल्छ।

Sustainable Biorational Pesticides for Managing Tomato Fruit Borer (Helicoverpa armigera) in Nepal

A new study from Tribhuvan University, Nepal evaluates sustainable biorational pesticides for controlling Helicoverpa armigera in tomato crops. The research highlights eco-friendly alternatives like Spinosad, Neem, and Chlorantraniliprole that significantly reduce pest populations while enhancing yield and profitability.

Biobased Edible Packaging from Sago By-Products Extends Shelf Life Naturally

Researchers from IPB University have developed a sustainable edible coating made from sago pulp and trunk by-products. The biobased packaging combines microcrystalline cellulose and activated carbon to protect fruits, extend shelf life, and reduce microbial spoilage — turning agricultural waste into eco-friendly food preservation materials.

Scientists optimize production of health-boosting exopolysaccharides from kefir bacteria

Researchers have isolated and optimized lactic acid bacteria from kefir capable of producing valuable exopolysaccharides (EPS). The optimized cultivation process more than doubled EPS yield, paving the way for sustainable production of natural biopolymers with applications in food, cosmetics, and medicine.
