Samples of E. milii ‘Maxi Pink Cadillac’ showing wilting in leaves and water-soaked symptoms on stems and leaves were collected in September 2025 from a nursery in Cameron County, Texas, with approximately...

Improvements in structural, surface, PL response and shielding parameters of PVA/CeO 2 /CNTs polymer nanocomposite

PVA/CeO 2 /CNTs hybrid nanocomposite in form of free-standing films were successfully synthesized by the solution casting approach to investigate their structural, surface and PL (photoluminescence) properties. XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis confirmed the semicrystalline nature of PVA and the cubic fluorite struc...

Effect of Bio-fortification of Zn and Fe on Nutrient Concentration, Uptake and Quality in Kharif Greengram (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)

Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly those of zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), remain important nutritional concerns and                    contribute to hidden hunger. Greengram (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is a nutrient-rich pulse crop, and improving its Zn                     and Fe concentrations through agronomic biofor...
