Periodic weeding has been a major factor contributing to higher rice productivity under SRI. Weeding promotes healthy root growth and plant utilization of biomass, enhances soil aeration, and increases yields through more productive tillers, larger panicles, more grains per panicle, and increased grain weight. The KB weeder was modified from its original design by decreasing its length, increasing its angle, adding supports, and lengthening spikes to improve usability, strength, and soil mulching ability. Manufacturers in three districts of West Bengal can produce up to 300 weeders total. Weeders are quality controlled and sold through dealers to farmers, with positive farmer feedback on the weeder's impact on rice growth and yields.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

IDEI SRI - Weeder
1.
2. Advantages of weeding
Periodic management of weeds has
been one of the major factors
contributing towards the higher
productivity of paddy under SRI –
1. Promotes healthy growth of roots
and consequently the plant
2. Enhances the utilisation of biomass
3. Facilitates proper aeration in the
soil
4. Increased yields as a result of more
productive tillers, large panicle size,
more number of grains per panicle &
increased grain weight
3. KB WEEDER
Handle bent in the form of cycle
A U-shaped bent has been
handle to provide better grip to
added to provide strength to the
the user.
handle
Length of the pipe decreased from
1050 mm to 850mm to ensure
operational convenience
An extra support has been
provided at the point of bent
Angle increased to 160° for
better adaptability to persons
2 L-shaped support has been
of different heights
provided at two sides
Length of the spikes increased
from 90 mm to 100 mm for better
mulching of soil
4. Manufacturing Units
To provide the SRI adopters with
easy to use, low cost weeder, IDEI has
identified and developed manufacturers
in West Bengal.
Contai Engineering Works in Contai,
East Midnapore has the capacity to
produce 100 weeders.
Jaber Engineering Works in Raiganj,
North Dinajpur has the capacity to
produce 100 weeders.
Modern Engineering works in
Coochbehar also has the capacity to
produce 100 weeders.
5. Supply Chain
The Weeders fabricated by the potential
manufacturers are then passed on to dealers for
sale in remote rural areas.
At present there are 22 dealers located at
Contai, Raiganj and Cooch Behar districts of
West Bengal.
6. Quality and Production
Quality control during Production:
Strict quality control measures are taken at manufacturing unit
through Quality Assurance Manager
Plan:
Warranty of one year
Each weeder will have unique punch plate numbers
Weeders will be sold under the Brand name KB
Production:
Production just enough to meet IDEIs requirement of weeder
Interested organization can make a visit to the manufacturing units to
understand the process
8. And in
Closing...
Farmer Speak…
“The KB Weeder cum Mulcher is an efficient device in its function
and easy to use so as to reduce the drudgery on labour. Adding
organic matter to the soil by mixing weeds with the soil has
helped in increasing the yield of rice. It is really wonderful and
stirring to see such a robust growth in rice”, says Asgar Ali, North
Dinajpur, West Bengal.
“I found that the stirring effect of the weeder has positive impact
on the grain yield. I also found that the weeder use has a sort of
earthing up effect and the plants produce new roots which
probably help in additional nutrient uptake. Today I am a happy
man as there is regular supply of rice for my family”, says a
cheerful Ramhari Panda, Contai, West Bengal.
