Heterosis-driven breeding in chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) across three diverse agro-climatic regions of Himachal Pradesh

Chilli has immense global importance because of its export value and medicinal properties. The present study focused on the development and evaluation of high-yielding and resilient cultivars of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) across three distinct locations (E1-University of Horticulture and Forestry (UHF), Nauni; E2-Regi...

AI-Driven Highway Route Planning for Minimal Vegetation Loss

Satellite remote sensing has transformed the ability to characterise land cover, vegetation density, and terrain conditions over wide geographic extents at high spatial resolution. This paper presents a framework that integrates multi-band satellite imagery with machine learning to identify optimal highway routes with...
