Biochar is a carbon-rich form of charcoal that can be applied to agricultural land to help with environmental management. It is formed by heating biomass in low-oxygen conditions and helps retain water in soil, releasing it to crops during drought and increasing yields more than fertilizer alone can. The region produces enough agricultural waste annually to produce over 120,000 tonnes of biochar, enough to treat 3,000 hectares of land per year and address local yield losses from lack of water and poor soil quality.

Research shows biochar can sequester carbon in soil for centuries while improving soil fertility and crop yields.
Conservation of Urban Water Bodies ver2
This presentation is on conservation of urban water bodies. In the urban areas due to human interference and pollution the water bodies are highly polluted. Designs and methods are presented here, with biochar as one of the materials for treatment and rejuvenation of urban water bodies. Also presented the phytoremediation methods for conservation of water bodies. Overall some of the concepts improves the relationship between water and people by improving the overall ecosystem. Some of the methods presented here in this presentation are:
Rejuvenating water bodies : Reducing the emissions from foreshore area by application of biochar. Development of foreshore area by dredging. Biochar dykes for treating polluted water and creation of clean water zone in a water body.
Floatigation: Growing plants on water bodies using biochar and floats. These plants need not be watered as they take polluted water rich in nitrates, phosphates and other nutrients. The biochar and the plants together clean the water by this method. Floating gardens could be created using empty bottles (reuse) as floats. Recreation zones could be created on these floats – floating restaurants, walkways, boating, solar lights, fishing zones, habitat for birds, etc. In this method there is also scope for growing submergent, floating, emergent and terrestrial plants could be grown. The algal boom and eutrophication of the water bodies is prevented in this method. The reuse concept of bottles reduced the burden on the environment and improves the environment through plants.
The dredging material such as silt could be used for creating islands in the water bodies, which would be a useful for birds as habitat.
Sewagigation: The sewage from the cities entering into the water bodies pollute the water. Through sewagiation, the polluted sewage water is harvested through filtration using biochar, sand and gravel at the bottom of the sewerage system. This water is used for irrigating the avenue plants and gardening needs in the urban areas.
For recharging the groundwater in the perurban areas and rainwater harvesting around the urban areas, it is proposed to have annular / circular / segregated water harvesting structures. The elevated express roads / outer ring roads / regional ring roads / highways / etc. could be used as bunds for harvesting the water. Traditionally bunds are used as roads even now. Why not roads as bunds. The road runoff harvesting (as being promoted by MetaMeta) is also one of the important methods.
Using sensors for monitoring and management of water bodies is another important aspect to be implemented.
Biochar
Biochar is charcoal produced through pyrolysis of organic materials and stored in soil to reduce carbon dioxide and improve soil quality. It can increase soil pH and water retention while boosting crop productivity and eliminating carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. More research is still needed to determine the best application methods and fully understand biochar's implications, as it may repress plant growth in some soils and impact agrochemical efficacy. Overall, biochar has potential agricultural benefits but requires further study to validate its advantages and disadvantages.

Study Of Chaos in Induction Machines
This document is a study of chaos in induction machine drives conducted under the guidance of Dr. Bharat Bhushan. It was prepared by Mirza Abdul Waris Beigh, Aakash Aggarwal, Gopal Bharadwaj, and Mohan Lal. The study analyzes the chaotic behavior of a nonlinear dynamical model of an induction machine using techniques like Hopf bifurcations analysis, phase plots, and Lyapunov exponents. It finds that the system exhibits chaos with one Lyapunov exponent being positive. However, by increasing the load parameter, all exponents can be made negative, removing chaos from the system. Further work proposed includes designing a sliding mode controller and analyzing parameter variation to eliminate chaos

Inform audience about biochar
Biochar is a charcoal substance produced from the controlled burning of biomass in low-oxygen conditions that can be used to enhance soil fertility and act as a permanent carbon sink. It improves crop productivity, reduces fertilizer needs, and increases soil fertility. As the Murrumbidgee region in Australia industrializes and its population grows, implementing biochar can support development while helping meet government climate change initiatives by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Ecology of nutrients
The document discusses nutrient cycling in ecosystems. It notes that internal cycling within ecosystems is most important, with nutrients cycling between organic and inorganic forms through biological and chemical processes. While some nutrients are lost via leaching, erosion, and other pathways, the majority are recycled internally. The cycling of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is highlighted for a forest ecosystem, with the majority recycled rather than derived from external sources like weathering or deposition. Nutrient budgets and forms available to plants are also discussed.
Biochar presentation
Biochar is a stable form of charcoal produced through pyrolysis that can store carbon in soil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It benefits soil by enhancing nutrients and properties, improves waste management by reducing runoff and emissions, and has potential to help Australian agriculture by increasing soil carbon storage and quality.

Biochar is a carbon-rich solid produced from the pyrolysis of biomass that can be used as a soil amendment and fertilizer. It is produced by heating biomass sources like wood chips or rice husks to high temperatures without oxygen. Biochar improves soil fertility and quality by increasing nutrient and water retention. It also helps reduce pollution and control invasive species. As a fertilizer and cooking stove fuel, biochar has the potential to create rural jobs and economic opportunities in India while reducing carbon emissions and improving agricultural productivity through its low-cost production and environmental benefits. The best approach to starting a biochar business is to form a cooperative to pool resources and educate local communities about the product.

The document discusses two case studies on the impacts of agricultural practices in southern Italy. [1] In the province of Bari, over 20,000 hectares of natural areas were converted to agricultural lands through rock and soil grinding, resulting in high surface stoniness and low wheat yields. This impacted above-ground biodiversity and reduced soil organic matter and nutrients. [2] The Torre Guaceto Natural Park in Brindisi province balances nature conservation with certified organic farming and works to recover natural Mediterranean habitats on former agricultural lands. The experience shows that protecting cultural heritage, nature and the environment can be reconciled with agricultural development.What you always wanted to know about "BioFertilizers in Organic Agriculture"

Crop residue utilisation by MUHAMMAD FAHAD ANSARI 12IEEM 14
Crop residues include stalks, cobs, and other plant parts left after harvest which are important for protecting soil from erosion, improving soil structure, and sequestering carbon; however, crop residues can also be used as a biomass feedstock for biofuels or electricity though this must be done judiciously to maintain soil quality. There are competing uses for crop residues between returning them to fields or removing them for fuel, fiber, or feed, and it is debated whether short-term economics or long-term sustainability should determine the best use of crop residues.
Invited lecture to MPKV trainees
1. Climate change is expected to negatively impact crop-insect pest interactions and exacerbate agricultural yield losses. Rising temperatures and shifts in rainfall patterns will influence the distribution and abundance of major and minor pests.
2. Loss of biodiversity from climate change impacts could disrupt ecological balances and increase outbreaks of destructive pests. Habitat alterations and changes in cropping practices may suppress natural enemies or competitor species.
3. Insect pests may expand their geographic ranges as temperatures and rainfall change regions, altering where growth, survival and reproduction is possible. This could introduce new pests or increase abundances in novel areas.

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).
