Various thermochemical and biochemical processes are resorted to transform agri-wastes into diverse green fuels. Current investigation encompassed three different types of biomass gingelly, kodo millet and horse grams, whose desirability as biofuel feedstock have been largely unexplored till date. The existence of significant amount of cellulose (38.

An elevated biomass production provides an alternative strategy of yield improvement, which in turn maneuvers the species concerned as potential dual-purpose crop. On that note, present study was carried on 33 early and 39 medium duration rice genotypes.

These pollutants exhibit resistance to conventional biodegradation processes and are associated with carcinogenic properties, posing a severe threat to living organisms. In this context, the present research endeavours to address this environmental challenge through the development of an affordable and efficient photocatalyst, the CoO/reduced graphene oxide/biochar (CBG-10) heterostructure.
