India produces 120 million tonnes of rice every year.
Rice cultivation contributes to 10% of the agricultural GDP.
Pest infestations significantly reduce crop yields, with stem borers being among the most destructive pests affecting rice production.
Cell-Tinel proposes a solution– A genetically modified Bacillus subtilis that produces “Cry toxins” that efficiently binds to and kills the Stem Borer.
This Biopesticide is chemical free and environment friendly thus preventing our everyday rice from being overloaded with chemical pesticides.
