Bamboo is more than just a fast-growing plant—it’s a cornerstone of sustainable development, supporting ecosystems and economies around the world. Yet, identifying bamboo species has long been a headache for scientists. Traditional methods based on physical traits like leaf shape and culm structure are often unreliable because many species look alike. Now, a new study

Have you ever wondered why mangoes flood the markets during certain months, and then suddenly disappear? It turns out that temperature plays a huge role in when and how mango trees bear fruit. But what if farmers could control the harvest time? That’s exactly what researchers in Situbondo, East Java, are working on! The Science

Recent studies have highlighted an innovative method for recycling organic waste into sustainable fertilizer, utilizing black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae and yeast-based fermentation processes. This approach not only promotes eco-friendly agricultural practices but also enhances plant growth, specifically for crops such as water spinach (Ipomoea reptans). The process involves feeding BSF larvae with organic

Genome editing refers to the process of making precise and intentional changes to the DNA sequence of an organism. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the field of medicine by allowing scientists to cure genetic diseases, create genetically modified crops, and eradicate pests that spread disease. However, genome editing is not without its challenges
