Turning Waste into Wealth: Scientists at Junagadh Agriculture University (JAU) discover ??

Scientists at Junagadh Agriculture University (JAU) have come up with a groundbreaking solution to the problem of agriculture residue burning, which has been causing severe pollution in India. The residue, which is generated from crops like wheat, cotton, castor, sesame, and others, can now be converted into biochar through a machine developed by JAU. This biochar has multiple uses, including improving soil fertility, enhancing plant growth and crop nutrition, and even as an activated substance in oral health care, water purifiers, air filters, and more. The machine developed by JAU can process 500 kg of waste per hour and produces biochar with 80% carbon content, making it a valuable supplement for farmers' income. The technology has been awarded a patent, and JAU officials are planning to hand it over to suitable companies for large-scale commercial production. This eco-friendly solution not only helps to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture residue burning but also cr
