GURUGRAM, India , Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BharatRohan, a pioneering agritech company, in collaboration with Kosher Climate, announces the launch of a groundbreaking Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) project. Spanning across 12,000 acres and benefiting over 6,000 local farmers in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh.

The AWD project will revolutionize traditional irrigation practices. Farmers are equipped with 30cm PVC pipes to monitor water levels, allowing them to irrigate only when necessary, conserving water and reducing reliance on motor pumps and electricity. By intermittently drying the fields, AWD introduces oxygen into the soil, which discourages the anaerobic conditions necessary for methane-producing microbes to thrive. This periodic oxygenation helps significantly reduce methane emissions, a critical step towards combating climate change. BharatRohan provides comprehensive training and support to farmers, alongside advanced drone-based crop monitoring for precise farming decisions.

“We are excited to partner with Kosher Climate on this transformative project,” said Amandeep Panwar, Co-founder & Director at BharatRohan. “By integrating innovative technologies and sustainable practices, we are not only addressing crucial environmental issues but also enhancing the profitability and sustainability of farming in India.”

BharatRohan drone-based imaging technology validates drying cycles and PVC pipe installation. Hyperspectral imaging monitors soil moisture, detects drought stress, and ensures efficient water use, enhancing crop health. The practice of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) not only offers environmental benefits but also empowers farmers by increasing soil nutrient availability, promoting better root growth, and boosting crop yields through more efficient nutrient uptake. Additionally, the project facilitates the generation of approximately 10,000 carbon credits in its inaugural year, following the successful completion of two drying cycles. This not only underscores the project’s environmental impact but also augments farmers’ incomes through carbon credit revenues.

The implementation of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) can reduce water usage by approximately 30 to 40% without compromising crop yield. This practice also contributes to lowering methane emissions, enhancing environmental sustainability. These benefits make this technology an advantageous approach for both resource conservation and sustainable agriculture. Further, this opens the opportunity for carbon farming. – Dr. Sudarshan Dutta, Lead, NbS (Agriculture), Kosher Climate India Pvt., Ltd.

Before learning about Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), we used to flood our fields continuously, believing it was necessary for rice cultivation. Now, with the AWD technique, we only irrigate when needed based on the water visibility in the pipe installed in my field. This change has saved us a significant amount of water and diesel, reduced weed growth, and enriched our soil, benefiting our crops. Additionally, we have been able to earn extra income, which we invest in better technology like Drone based crop monitoring. BharatRohan’s training and support have been instrumental in implementing this practice, says Rakesh Kumar, Barabanki Farmer.

LG Display Succeeds in Developing World’s First Stretchable Display that Expands by 50 Percent

SEOUL, South Korea , Nov. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LG Display, the world’s leading innovator of display technologies, announced today its unveiling of the world’s first Stretchable display capable of expanding up to 50%, the highest rate of elongation in the industry. At LG Science Park in Seoul on Nov. 8, the company demonstrated the panel at a meeting of more than 100 South Korean industry, academia, and research stakeholders involved in a Stretchable display national project.

Stretchable displays are seen as the ultimate free-form screen technology because they can be freely transformed into any shape, including by stretching, folding, and twisting.

The new prototype features a 12-inch screen that stretches up to 18 inches, while simultaneously delivering a high resolution of 100ppi (pixels per inch) and full red, green, and blue (RGB) color.

Compared to the first Stretchable display prototype unveiled in 2022, the new panel’s maximum elongation rate has more than doubled from 20% to 50%. This enhanced stretchability enables various display design possibilities, raising the technology’s potential competitiveness when commercialized.

By applying a number of new technologies, such as improving the properties of a special silicon material substrate used in contact lenses and developing a new wiring design structure, LG Display improved the panel’s stretchability and flexibility, exceeding the original national project’s target of 20% elongation.

In addition, by using a micro-LED light source of up to 40μm (micrometers), the new prototype’s strengthened durability means it can be repeatedly stretched over 10,000 times, maintaining clear image quality even in extreme environments such as exposure to low or high temperatures and external shocks.

Stretchable displays are not only thin and lightweight but also capable of adhering to irregularly curved surfaces like clothing and skin. They are expected to be widely applied in various industries, from fashion and wearables to mobility.

The company showcased numerous concepts for the application of Stretchable displays, including an automotive panel that stretches out into a convex shape and can be operated by hand as well as a wearable display attached to firefighters’ uniforms that provides real-time information.

LG Display was selected as the lead company for the national project to develop Stretchable displays in 2020 and since then has been conducting joint R&D with 19 domestic industry and research institutes. It is one of the major tasks of a wider project to develop core technologies for next-generation displays promoted by South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) along with the Korea Planning & Evaluation Institute of Industrial Technology.

By successfully completing the project, LG Display has not only secured core technologies that can lead the next-generation display market but also contributed to localizing materials, components, and equipment as well as building an R&D infrastructure.

“We will continue to build a sustainable future display ecosystem through close cooperation between South Korean industry, academia, and research stakeholders,” said Soo-young Yoon, CTO and Executive Vice President of LG Display.
