Insecticidal activities of Phytochemicals against Orthopteran pests through Nanotechnology

Description: The effectiveness of extracted terpenoid and a nanobiopesticide formulated by encapsulating terpenoid with zinc oxide were assessed for toxicity against locust species belong to the Acrididae family. Bioassay tests were conducted to evaluate their efficacy specifically targeting adult locusts. Socio-Economic Benefits: Cost Savings for Farmers, Enhanced Agricultural Productivity, Healthier Work Environment, Improved Food Safety,

NutriBlend

Description: This project develops a non-peanut based formulation for Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) to combat severe acute malnutrition in Pakistan’s flood-affected regions. It replaces peanuts with sunflower seeds, enhancing nutrition and aligning with local dietary habits. Socio-Economic Benefits: “ 1. Improved Health: Reduces malnutrition-related mortality and long-term health impacts. 2. Enhanced Food Security: Mitigates food

Sustainable pest management strategies on Family Pantatomidae through secondary metabolites of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud and Zanthoxylum piperitum (L. )

Description: Pakistan, as an agricultural country, every year has to face locust invasion, mostly the vegetation of the country badly affected by the heavy outbreak of billions of locust swarms in 2019 and also faced in early 2020. Locusts are not only cause’s damage to pastures and crops, but they also cause soil erosion and

Sustainable pest management strategies on Family Pantatomidae through secondary metabolites of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud and Zanthoxylum piperitum (L. )

Description: Pantatomid pests are widespread sucking insects that devour grains, important crops, and fruit-bearing plants, causing significant economic losses The major goal of this study is to protect our environment from pesticides by introducing biopesticide. The study will be conducted to observe the latent effects on human health, soil fertility, effect on non-targeted sites, and,

To characterize the enterocin producing genes in the local isolates of probiotic Enterococcus species from raw goat milk.

Description: Enterococcus species are known for their probiotic potential and ability to produce antimicrobial peptides called enterocins. This study aimed to characterize the enterocin-producing genes in local isolates of probiotic Enterococcus species obtained from raw goat milk. Probiotics are alive microorganisms that confer health benefits to host when consumed in sufficient amounts. Enterococcus species have

DEVELOPMENT OF NACHOS WITHIN CORPORATION OF CORN-SILK WITH COMPOSITE FLOUR

Description: Corn silk, traditionally considered a waste product. The research focuses on the use of corn silk in developing value-added foods, specifically nachos, for all age groups. Another concern as a sustainable approach to value addition of corn-silk waste in the food industry Socio-Economic Benefits: corn silk are used a s waste, incorporation is product

ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECT OF NATURAL PRODUCTS AGAINST RESPIRATORY ORGANISMS

Description: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a common health problem that affects the different parts of the body which are involved in breathing, such as the sinuses, throat, airways or lungs. An upper respiratory tract infection a lower respiratory tract infection is the two most common classifications for this type of infection. Lower respiratory infections,

Evaluation of insecticidal activities of novel bio-pesticide developed from cyanobacteria spp. and punica granatum l.

Description: The agriculture of Pakistan is heavily dependent on synthetic agrochemicals to enhance plant growth and soil fertility, but the excess use of chemical-based fertilizers and pesticides causes a serious threat to the crop, soil, environment as well as human health by accumulating into the food chain. Group of Hemiptera pests are cosmopolitan sucking insects,
