Paired row sowing (45 cm spaced 2 rows and one dripline in between) with drip irrigation (RHS) and treated with pendimethalin through drip in chickpea (after cotton harvest) provided 21 q/ha yield compared to chickpea after Mun bean (20 q/ha) and planted 2 weeks earlier (LHS) at farmers field in Hisar district of Haryana. State government provides subsidy on 120 cm driplines that is good only for cotton or sugarcane, but not for other closed spaced crops. Hence paired row sowing at 45 cm followed by 75 cm provide space for better growth of chickpea and fruiting bodies (lower insect pest infestation) and can be irrigated with drip to save water and nutrients plus added advantage of significant saving on herbicide volume applied through drip.

Pendimethalin applied through drip irrigation with 75% saving in application rate provides excellent control for 45 days in cotton.

India is likely to receive above average monsoon rains in 2024, the Indian Meterological Department said on Monday. The monsoon rains are seen at 106 per cent of long-term average in 2024.
"India is likely to see above-normal monsoon with cumulative rainfall estimated at 106 per cent of long-period average of 87 cm," IMD said. "El Nino is weakening, it will enter a neutral stage by the time monsoon sets in.

ADOPTION OF SANSKRIT BY NASA AIMS TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE GAP
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LATEST NEWS

Sanskrit is being adopted by NASA
Sanskrit has always been an important language in intellectual communities. Despite its ancient origin, the language has some amazing characteristics that are considered helpful in different fields. It is also used for therapy sessions in psychology and for spiritual remissions. But its recent involvement with artificial intelligence is an honor proving its power for being a valuable course of literature.
The grammar also makes Sanskrit suitable for machine learning and even artificial intelligence. For historians and regular folks, the possibility of using Sanskrit to develop artificially intelligent machines is inspiring because it exploits the past innovatively to deliver solutions for the future.
NASA Sanskrit relation is not new. It all began in 1985 when a NASA associate scientist published a research paper in the spring issue of Artificial Intelligence magazine. (Volume 6 Number 1). The name of the scientist was Rick Briggs who submitted his research entitled Vedic Science- ‘Knowledge Representation in Sanskrit and Artificial Intelligence.’
The article argued about Natural languages being the best option to be converted into the computing program for robotic control and Artificial Intelligence technology. The research focuses on Sanskrit among the pool of many human languages, explaining that it is one of the most suitable ones for computing techniques. Although a detailed discussion about this research paper is due in the article onwards, here is a summary in Rick Briggs’ own words derived from the same journal.
NASA had been researching this matter for more than two decades. A lot of money, time, and resources had been invested. The outcomes favor the integration of a language that can be converted into machine computing to enhance Artificial Intelligence efficiency. The phrase above indicates NASA’s intense interest in Sanskrit and the research is authentically done by NASA over many levels. However, the paper was published in 1985 which is almost more than 20 years ago, yet it is a common fact that NASA’s research is often prolonged over decades to derive official results.
Currently, NASA is also working on Artificial Intelligence for space communications which are clear proof that the topic of “Artificial intelligence Development” was never closed in NASA.

For the proponents of only going Organic

How Sri Lanka’s overnight flip to total organic farming has led to an economic disaster
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa was forced to impose an economic emergency on 31 August to contain soaring food inflation, and currency devaluation and forex reserves crisis.

New Delhi: Sri Lanka has been hit by a serious economic emergency even as it struggles to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dwindling foreign exchange reserves, a sinking currency and soaring food inflation have come together to create a crisis which is unprecedented even by the record of the island nation that was torn by civil war for decades.
The surge in food prices and a real fear of hoarding of essential food items was the last straw that forced President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to impose the economic emergency on 31 August under the public security ordinance.
At the root of this economic catastrophe is a bizarre overnight flip by Rajapaksa’s government on 29 April to ban the import of chemical fertilisers and any other agrochemicals to make the Indian Ocean nation the first in the world to practice organic-only agriculture.
The result: prices of daily food items like sugar, rice and onions have soared over twice, with sugar even touching record Rs 200/kg; kerosene oil and cooking gas prices are surging; tea crops are predicted to fail in October; and there are fears over a hit to production of other crucial export crops like cinnamon, pepper, rubber, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, betel leaves, cocoa, and vanilla.
These developments come amid a 30 basis points rise in the month-on-month inflation in the country, jumping to 6 per cent in August from 5.7 per cent in July. Its foreign reserves plunged62% to $2.8 billion in July against $7.5 billion in November 2019. Moreover, the Sri Lankan rupee has fallen 7 per cent against the US dollar this year.
According to the Sri Lankan government, two primary reasons have driven the inflation — crashing tourism due to the pandemic, and hoarding of food items. The dip in tourism also hit the forex reserves.
The crisis has now reached such a proportion that a former army general has been appointed as ‘commissioner general of essential services’ to raid and seize food stocks. The officer has been tasked to ensure sale of products at government-named prices or on custom import costs. Sri Lanka is a net food importer.
