      How Areca Nut Chewing Was Made the Cause for Oral Submucous Fibrosis and Oral Cancer: An Analysis
      (2025-06-01) S. Keshava Bhat; Sukesh Bhat
      Areca nut is the nut or seed of Areca catechu palm. This nut is mostly used for chewing because of its immense beneficial effects. The antiquity of its chewing goes back to more than thousand years. Of late, several researchers claimed areca nut chewing as the cause for oral submucous fibrosis and oral cancer. But in most of such research papers it was observed that the chewing substance was not authenticated by any experts in plant science leading to wrong identification of the chewing material. Consequently, the chewing mixtures such as betel quid, pan masala, gutkha, etc were wrongly quoted as areca nut and the researchers tagged the ill effects of chewing such mixtures to areca nut. Certain reviewers, without noticing such lacunae, published several review papers under the heading areca nut chewing. Some of such research and review papers are cited and analysed in this article.

      Current status of application of digital technologies in plantation crops
      (2024) Hebbar, K.B.; Ravi Bhat
      The plantation sector in India, comprising crops like coconut, arecanut, tea, coffee, rubber, and oil palm, significantly contributes to the national economy, supporting over 30 million small-scale growers. Despite its importance, the sector faces challenges in resource management, labour shortages, and environmental sustainability. The integration of digital technologies such as loT, AI, drones, and block chain is revolutionizing plantation crop management. These technologies enhance resource efficiency, facilitate precise crop monitoring, predict yields, detect diseases, and improve pest control. Additionally, AI-driven tools and big data analytics aid in optimizing irrigation, fertilization, and market strategies. Drones offer advantages in aerial surveys and pesticide application, while blockchain ensures transparency in the supply chain, especially for export-oriented crops. The collaborative efforts between agricultural and technological sectors are paving the way for a more sustainable, efficient, and competitive plantation industry. This integration is crucial for addressing resource limitations and ensuring long-term growth and global market competitiveness in the plantation sector.
