Today, I visited a rice field where the application of Chlorantraniliprole was recommended to combat the threat of stem borers on rice plants and encourage their healthy growth. I also ensured various practices aimed at fostering the well-being of the rice crop at Ojla Agri Farm.
This weekend, I had the privilege of visiting the Centre of Excellence in Molecular Biology, Lahore with @gene_trait an experience that offered a captivating glimpse into the forefront of cotton farming technology.
In 2018 I wrote a review paper in Nature on the impact of climate change on tropical forests (https://t.co/Jiu35OlPE7, subscription-free https://t.co/6YUd24ctDw)

#G20#energy ministers failed to agree on a plan to #phaseout and #endfossilfuels, a major contributor to #climatechange.
The outcome document was weak and did not set ambitious targets for reducing emissions or increasing renewable energy use. Read on โฌ๏ธ
#COP28
A single tree can absorb 10 pounds of air pollutants each year. So planting native trees - and protecting established trees and forests - is good for our health and wellbeing, as well as benefitting wildlife and biodiversity, and tackling #climatechange ๐ณ
