After filing the application in June 2021, the Brinjal was granted the GI tag in 2023 by the Geographical Indication Registry in Chennai, making the name "Agsechi Vayingim (Agassaim Brinjal)" exclusive to the Brinjal grown in the region. [8] It thus became the first brinjal variety from Goa and the 6th type of goods from Goa to earn the GI tag.
In 2017, 6,512 farmers grew Bt Brinjal and 27,012 in 2018. [20] A 2019 report [21] found that as a result of growing Bt Brinjal there was a 39% reduction in the use of pesticides and the yield of Bt Brinjal was also 43% higher. With reduced costs of pesticides and increased yield, profit of farmers increased by nearly $400 per hectare.
Heterotrophs function as consumers in food chain: they obtain these nutrients from saprotrophic, parasitic, or holozoic nutrients. [38] They break down complex organic compounds (e.g., carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) produced by autotrophs into simpler compounds (e.g., carbohydrates into glucose , fats into fatty acids and glycerol , and ...
Leucinodes orbonalis, the eggplant fruit and shoot borer or brinjal fruit and shoot borer, is a moth species in the genus Leucinodes described by Achille Guenée in 1854. Its native distribution is in the tropical and subtropical parts of Australia and Asia, where it is recorded from Pakistan, Nepal, India, including the Andaman Islands, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam ...
Principal view of the pumping action of a twin-screw pump with a six-lobe female screw and a five-lobe male screw. A compressor (as opposed to a pump) would be shaped the same way, except that the shape of the lobes would change along the length of the screw, so that the volume of the trapped pockets would get squeezed smaller as they get closer to the exhaust port.
Bacteria are housed in symbiosomes in these nodules, where they are sustained by nutrients from the plant and convert nitrogen gas to a form that the plant can use. [34] Non-symbiotic (or "free-living") nitrogen-fixing bacteria may reside in the rhizosphere just outside the roots of certain plants (including many grasses) and similarly "fix ...
Nutrients are available in the three HNLC regions in sufficient RKR Ratios for biological activity. Primary production is the process by which autotrophs use light to convert carbon from aqueous carbon dioxide to sugar for cellular growth. [7] Light provides the energy for the photosynthetic process and nutrients are incorporated into organic ...
Mineral nutrients cycle through this marine food chain, from bacteria and phytoplankton to flagellates and zooplankton, which are then eaten by other marine life. [ 55 ] [ 56 ] In terrestrial ecosystems , fungi have similar roles as bacteria, mobilizing minerals from matter inaccessible by other organisms, then transporting the acquired ...
