CHARACTERIZATION, OPTIMIZATION AND EMISSION ANALYSIS OF MANUALLY-MADE CHARCOAL DUST BRIQUETTES WITH STARCH, PAPER AND ALGAE BINDERS

Characterization, optimization and emission analysis of manually-made charcoal dust briquettes with starch, paper and algae binders

Utilization of loose waste biomass such as charcoal dust remains popular in low-to mid-income countries due to increased energy demands, poverty and heighten efforts to mitigate climate change.This study sought to investigate the effects of starch, paper and algae binders on the physical, mechanical and combustion characteristics and emission level

Assessment of heterotic potential of indica rice hybrids derived from KMR 3/O. rufipogon introgression lines as restorers

Present investigation was carried out to assess the heterotic yield potential of 162 indica rice hybrids derived from twenty six KMR3/O.rufipogon introgression lines (ILs) and wooden stirrups six cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines.The derived hybrids and testers were phenotyped for days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of productive tillers
