Synthetic antidiabetic drugs are often associated with various adverse side effects, including hypoglycemia, nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances, headaches, and even liver damage. In contrast, plant-derived natural antidiabetic bioactive compounds typically exhibit lower toxicity and fewer side effects and have been reported to aid effectively in diabetes management. These plant extracts regulate diabetes by restoring pancreatic function, enhancing insulin secretion, inhibiting intestinal glucose absorption, and facilitating insulin dependent metabolism.

To mitigate the prevailing yield gap, the current study was designed to evaluate the effect of chitosan in improving growth, yield contributing characters and yield of rice. The experiment comprised eight different treatments control (no fertilizer and Chitosan) (T), conventional method (with fertilizers) (T), conventional method with foliar spray of 100 ppm chitosan solution (T), conventional method with foliar spray of 300 ppm chitosan solution (T), conventional method with foliar spray of 500 ppm chitosan solution (T), only foliar spray of 100 ppm chitosan solution (T), only foliar spray of 300 ppm chitosan solution (T), and only foliar spray of 500 ppm chitosan solution (T).
