A Review on Potential use of Bioherbicides for preventing the growth of weed plants
Abstract: Like pests, disease and other hazards weeds are one of the major problems for farmers. They not only compete with crops for water, nutrients, sunlight, and space but also harbor insect and disease pests, clog irrigation and drainage systems undermine crop quality and deposit weed seeds into crop harvests. They can heavily damage the production of crops as well as they reduce the value of land. Weeds can also host …

Utilization of Advance Geopolymer in Concrete: A Review
Abstract: Climate change has several adverse impacts like changes in weather, untimely rains, depleting water, droughts, flash floods, acute and early summer and chilling winter. Equally, another bigger challenge to the society is foul smell whether it is river, pond, drain, public toilets or garbage dump yards. It is due to emission of hydrogen sulphide, methane and other toxic gases. Methane in pure form does not create any foul smell, however …
