Microbes can be used as biofertilizers and biopesticides in agriculture. Biofertilizers include nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium, phosphate-solubilizing fungi, and mycorrhizal fungi. They are applied to seeds, soil, or planting material. Biopesticides contain microorganisms like Bacillus thuringiensis (for insects) or Trichoderma fungi (for plant pathogens) and can be applied as sprays. Examples of other types discussed include bioinsecticides, biofungicides, bionematicides, and bioherbicides, which contain fungi, bacteria, viruses or nematodes to control specific pest problems.
Biotechnology with agriculture is very useful in now a days and also in upcoming days. With the help of biotechnology we can produce better quality of crops and also increase the yield. The produces are also free from pests.
A process where an embryo is derived from a single somatic cell or group of somatic cells. Somatic embryos (SEs) are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in embryo formation.
Embryos formed by somatic embryogenesis are called Embryoids.
The process was discovered for the first time in Daucas carota L. (carrot) by Steward (1958), Reinert (1959).

Biofertilizers are living microbes that enhance plant nutrition by either by mobilizing or increasing nutrient availability in soils. Various microbial taxa including beneficial bacteria and fungi are currently used as biofertilizers, as they successfully colonize the rhizosphere, rhizoplane or root interior.
This presentation will cover mainly Bio-Fertilizers, This presentation is given by Miss Khunsha Fatima, Bio-Fertilizers, thier classification and importance discussed in detail.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Biofertilizers
• 'Biofertilizer' is a substance which contains living microorganisms
which, when applied to seed, plant surfaces, or soil, colonizes the
rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by
increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host
plant.
• Main part of INSS (Integrated Nutrient Supply System)
• Biofertilizers add nutrients through the natural processes of fixing
atmospheric nitrogen, solubilizing phosphorus, and stimulating plant
growth through the synthesis of growth promoting substances.

16. Methods of Application of Biofertilizers
Seed Treatment: 200 g of biofertilizer is suspended in 300- 400 mL of water
and mixed gently with 10 kg of seeds using an adhesive like gum acacia,
jiggery solution, etc. The seeds are then spread on a clean sheet/cloth under
shade to dry and used immediately for sowing.
Seedling Root Dip: Recommended biofertilizers are mixed in this water and
the roots of seedlings are dipped for 8-10 h and transplanted.
Soil Treatment: 4 kg each of the recommended biofertilizers is mixed in 200
kg of compost and kept overnight. This mixture is incorporated in the soil at the
time of sowing or planting.
Sett Treatment: Suspended and mixed thoroughly 15 kg bio fertilizer for one
hectare in 300 lit of water. Treat cane sett by dipping in this suspension before
planting.
17. Biopesticide are certain types of pesticides derived from such natural
materials as animals, plants, bacteria and certain minerals.
In commercial terms, biopesticides include microorganisms that control
pests (microbial pesticides), naturally-occurring substances that control
pests (biochemical pesticides), and pesticidal substances produced by
plants containing added genetic material (plant-incorporated
protectants).
Types of Microbial Biopesticides (broadly called as biocontrol agents)
• Bioinsecticide (broadly called as biopesticides)
• Biofungicide (broadly called as antagonists)
• Bionematicide
• Bioherbicide
