• Comparative Statistical Analysis of Major Crop Productivity in Maharashtra (2026) · International Journal of Mathematics And Computer Research · doi

  Based on the findings, the following recommendations are suggested: 1. Focus on technology-driven productivity — Adoption of high-yielding seed varieties and mechanization should be expanded. 2. Enhance irrigation infrastructure — Targeted water resource management can reduce yield variability. 3. Promote balanced crop diversification — Encourage both food and cash crops to maintain economic stability.

• Emerging insights into silicon-mediated defence systems against insect pests in sugarcane (2026) · Discover Plants · doi

  Adoption in commercial farming is limited by several challenges, including acidic, highly weathered soils with frequent rainfall and intensive cropping. Plant uptake is unpredictable, as fertilizer content does not guarantee availability, and responses vary with soil pH, organic matter, and mineral composition.
