The generation of electric power takes place in a power plant. The main objective reduces the operating time of fault current removal from the load line and senses the fault current quickly to overcome its effects. The system is to be made effective and efficient while dealing with the fault situation, fault removal, and restoration of the normal operating conditions at the loading points. The results conclude the effectiveness of the proposed T-ACO-based Optimization control for the operation of the relay in accordance with the fault current limiter and analyzer circuit. The second model of the hybrid system concludes that the system having fault current limiter and analyzer circuit reduces and fault current rise and prevents the voltage from dropping to zero even if no AI-based technique is used and the operating time remains the same. The AI-based techniques further reduce the operat...

However, in recent years it has been introduced into California, Europe, and elsewhere. Expanded traffic in flower crops appears to be the basis for the expanding range of this species. Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), sometimes known as the American serpentine leafminer, readily infests greenhouses. As a vegetable pest, however, its occurrence is limited principally to tropical and subtropical regions. Life Cycle and Description Leafminers have a relatively short life cycle. The time required for a complete life cycle in warm environments such as Florida is often 21 to 28 days,

The treatments were comprised with different mulching materials viz. control as without mulching (T1), straw mulching (T2) and Polythene mulching (T3). The planting of cultivar "Chandler" was done on first week of November, 2020 and observations were recorded at 30 DAT, 60 DAT, 90 DAT, 120 DAT, and 150 DAT and at final harvest. Significant results were obtained for different attributes of growth, yield, and quality as well as in terms of economics under the treatment of black polythene mulching (T3). The results showed that the Number of Flowers per Plant (24.08), Plant spread (48.06 cm), Fruit length (4.22 cm), Fruit diameter (3.80 cm), Fruit texture (5.9 lb), T.S.S. (8.92 0 Brix) and Total juice content (84.05 %) However, the control (T1) reported maximum Titrable acidity (0.92 %).

As a result, it became necessary to enhance the current manufacturing system in addition to impressing with its productivity. There is a current tendency for fruit trees to be planted more densely or in meadow orchards to control tree size, keep desired architecture, and make operations like pruning, pest control, and harvesting easier. The meadow orchard system is a novel idea for guava planting, providing densities of 5000 trees per hectare at a spacing of 1 m by 2 m. In contrast to conventional well-branched trees, this system is controlled to

There is an ocean of opportunities in Artificial intelligence technology in the field of agriculture, from soil testing to crop monitoring. Some of the ongoing projects are doing so well that, some of them can even claim an augment of 30 to 35% in overall yield. Artificial intelligence technologies can be one of the major factors determining the scope of agriculture in the upcoming future. The use of Artificial intelligence is likely to bring about a revolutionary change in the field of agriculture. Machine learning is the current technology which is advantageous for the farmers as it helps them to mitigate the losses by providing methods of effective farming with the use of little manpower to produce high quality yield.

Based on relevant literature, this manuscript discusses the influence of Sound vibration in stimulating various growth and developmental parameters in plants like seed germination, root elongation, photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, yield, post harvest shelf-life, and also highlights various researches carried out to support influence of acoustic frequencies in defense, metabolism, cell cycle, and production of secondary metabolites, hormones and enzymes. Application of wide range of sound frequencies, infrasonic to ultrasonic, could provide myriad possibilities in advancement of future agriculture; however, a more comprehensive knowledge on signalling and regulation mechanisms is required to exploit the full potential.

The crop productivity in the hilly areas of Uttarakhand is low due to scattered land holdings, low soil fertility and mostly rainfed agriculture. farmers are still practicing traditional subsistence farming comprising of mainly cereal crops which cannot sustain farm families for more than three to four months in a year. There is a large-scale migration of men towards plains, due to which the rural areas contain significantly higher female population and has led to demographic imbalance in the region. The strenuous physical task allocated to women combined with limited food intake, exacerbate malnutrition. Majority of rural women in Uttarakhand are suffering from Chronic Energy Deficiencies (CED) and their intake of micronutrients is lower than Recommended Dietary Allowances. Therefore, women require high quality nutrients as their work load and energy expenditure is more. One...

Hill agriculture primarily depends on rainfall and consequently is more vulnerable to adverse impacts of erratic rainfall patterns. To recognize the effect of uncertainties and extremities of rainfall on VL Arhar-1 (Pigeon pea), a study was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Chinyalisaur under NICRA project in adopted villages of Block Dunda and Bharkhot of District Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand. The aim was to promote climate resilient practices by introducing short duration and wilt resistant Pigeon pea variety in mainstream pulse cultivation of the district. Observing the lack of irrigation facilities and uneven rainfall for a long period in the area VL Arhar-1 was introduced among the farmers with rationale of not only enhancing the yield but also reduces the risk of protein malnutrition. After sequence of demonstrations and year wise data collection, VL Arhar-1 was found to perform better in terms of yield and economic returns as compared to traditional wild race, popularized as Tur among locals.
