This technology replaces traditionalair-conditioning systems, saving a minimum of 60%of the electric power typically required for cooling.These ECGRs will be used for incubating *in vitro*rooting stage plants.
To reduce carbon foot print JISL installed more than600 kilowat solar power on the R&D Farm at Jain Hill.
We have signed a technology transfer agreement withICAR-Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture(ICAR-CISH) to adopt "Bio-immunization Technology”.This technology is expected to develop toleranceagainst Panama Disease, also known as FusariumWilt Tropical Race-4, in banana plants. The first batchof these plants will be available for sale in 2025-26.
A unique variety of mango rootstock "Sagarika”polyembryonic and salt tolrant, was also licensedfrom ICAR-CISH for further expansion andcommercial utilzation. It will expand adoptability ofmango cultivation in marginal and salt affected soil
Our Research & Development team has successfullydeveloped tissue culture technology for producingdisease-free planting material for Black Pepper andPapaya. Notably, our Tissue Culture Black Pepperplants are the first to be developed on a commercialbasis by any registered tissue culture productionfacility under the National Certification System forTissue Culture Raised Plants (NCS-TCP), Departmentof Biotechnology (DBT), Govt. of India. Plantproduction has commenced, and the first batch willbe available for field planting in 2025-26.
Ten year extensive work on mango developementresulted in to identification of three mango hybridswhich is being further evaluated for commercialtrials. In coming five years they will be evaluated inmultilocation trial for commercial release.

Irricare wifi is a smartcontroller with advancedirrigation and fertilizingfunctions that fits theneeds of today's modernagriculture. The Irricarewifi excels in advancedhardware technology. I tis a reliable controller thatadjusts easily to differentapplications. Irricare wifiis equipped with a userfriendly interface and can
be easily programmed and operated offline through thecontroller or a mobile app.
The Mobile App has smooth and agile software support.It has an Aesthetic and animated Dashboard whichupdates you with current irrigation status. History oflast two days and irrigation planning for next two days.You can plan your irrigation schedule through eightdifferent irrigation sequences. It can operate separateschedules for 2 irrigation heads or pumps. It is a timebased irrigation system which can support irrigation,time based fertigation (Nutricare ECO/ Dosing pumpetc.), built in filter backflush.
There are two separate sequences for cyclic operationswhich can be used for cyclic operations of the foggingsystem in green house. Cyclic operation can be managedas Cyclic sequence wherein the entire sequence will berepeated cyclically or Cyclic valves wherein individualvalves can be operated cyclically.
It has a unique feature of Day Start and Day End timesetting. Understanding the complex electrical schedulesin agriculture and erratic availability of power supply,the user can set his day start and end as per hisrequirements. It overcomes the issue of frequent powerfailure and allows continuation of irrigation even if daychanges at 00:00 hrs at midnight.
Irricare WiFi is fully loaded with advanced featuresand designed with consideration of Indian agricultureconditions.
Irricare WiFi is designed and developed by Jain Irrigation.It passes through stringent quality control as per ISO21622 and company standard protocols and assured24x7 support by our team.

Polyvinyl chloride is formulated byadding various additives accordingto the end use and application ÝÝof the product that is produced.
Depending on the chemical ^
additive that is incorporated, 1
Polyvinyl chloride can be either Ý
flexible at room temperature I
or rigid. For pressurised piping [
application one has to formulate "
the Polyvinyl chloride into a rigid pvc - Alloy PipesPVC pipe so that it can be in a
position to sustain the pressure with which the fluidor water is passing through it. The glass transitiontemperature of the Rigid PVC pipe is above the roomtemperature making it brittle at room temperature. It issusceptible to breakage when there is sudden impactbeyond certain limits. This is attributed to the brittlenessof the PVC pipes. To overcome this aspect, a new recipehas been formulated and developed to make the PVCpipes ductile at room temperature and can be used forpressurised piping applications. These pipes with a newrecipe which enables the enhanced ductility at roomtemperature are known as PVC - Alloy pipes which haveenhanced ductility, durability making it more suitablefor high end applications, offering protection frompoor installations, dangerous movements and weatherconditions. PVC - Alloy pipes has enhanced ductility andit withstands impact energy which is more than fourtimes that of conventional rigid PVC pipes. Because ofthis increased ductility it enables the piping lines to bedesigned with a safety factor almost 1.75 to 2 timeshigher than the conventional PVC pipes which meansthe design coefficient of the PVC - Alloy pipes is lessthan that of the conventional PVC pipes. Hence the wallthickness and the weight of the PVC - Alloy pipes areconsiderably less than that of the conventional RigidPVC pipes for the same pressure application whichultimately results in substantial saving of the resources,energy and ultimately the product cost.
PVC - HI Pipes
Hydrogen gas is one of the clean —
and renewable energy sources and
is more efficient than most of the
energy sources. It can be handled by
current gas infrastructure, especially
the pipe line and both Polyethylene
and Polyvinyl chloride pipings can be
used for transportation of hydrogen
gas. ISO standard 6993 includes
dry hydrogen as gaseous fuels forthe transportation using Polyvinyl chloride pipes. Ithas been proved thru experiments & testing that theleakage of hydrogen gas thru PVC pipes are far lessthan the limit allowed for natural gas. The requirementof impact energy for the Polyvinyl chloride is higherby four times than the conventional PVC pipes and aspecial formulation was developed to withstand sucha rigorous impact test. The Polyvinyl - High impactpipes are designed for supply of gaseous fuels such ashydrogen through buried pipelines having an operatingtemperature range of 0 Deg. C up to and including 30Deg. C with maximum operating pressure of 1 barpressure.
Apart from the high impact energy requirements, theproduct is also expected to have a very good weatheringresistance feature which is characterised by its ability towithstand the solar radiation of 3.5 GJ/M2. The pipesexposed to 3.5 GJ/M2 have to withstand the impact
energy as prescribed in the International std 6993. Aspecial recipe was developed by incorporating additivesfor improving the impact strength and weatheringproperty and the recipe has been validated thru rigoroustests and the compliance to the standard requirementshas been verified.
