Social Benefits: | Plants, being a sessile organism, are bound to face multiple abiotic and biotic stress conditions throughout their life. The co-ordinated activation of defense machinery is the key for the minimizing the stress-induced negative impacts. Most of the tolerance mechanisms are energy-demanding and hence, the energy budget or overall plant health is very important for plant's survival under the adverse conditions. In this context, NABTD, BARC and Vasantdada Sugar Institute, Pune have jointly developed "ANU-CHAITANYA" which is a versatile bioregulator that not only boost plant growth; but, also activate built-in plant defense to tolerate multiple stress conditions.he active ingredients of ANU-CHAITANYA are cost-effective and readily available from local materials. ANU-CHAITANYA involves radiation treatment, enhancing its bioavailability to plants. It can be stored at room temperature and is easy to scale up or down.ANU-CHAITANYA is versatile to be applied on various grain crops, vegetable and flowering plants. |
