Nepal Remains Vulnerable To Disaster As It Expects Above-average Monsoon This Year
A landslide induced by heavy monsoon rainfall last year lingers along the slopes of a hill on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 3, 2025, as it remains vulnerable to another disaster. Like in 2024, Nepal is expected to witness above-normal monsoon rains for the second consecutive year, according to a regional consensus among South Asian meteorologists. Above-normal rains could lead to more disasters, including flash floods and landslides. A statement issued by the 31st Session of the South Asian Climate Outlook Forum on April 29 indicates that most parts of South Asia are expected to receive above-normal rainfall during the 2025 southwest monsoon season, which spans from June to September. Monsoon onset typically occurs on June 13 and withdraws by October 2. The World Bank's recent Nepal Development Update notes that severe floods and landslides from September 26 to 28, caused by unusually intense monsoon activity intensified by climate change, result in damage amounting to 0.8 percent of the GDP. The total damage is estimated at Rs46.7 billion, affecting infrastructure, agriculture, and social sectors. Agricultural losses alone reach Rs7.2 billion, with vast farmland submerged, crops destroyed, and many livestock lost. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto) -

Vegetables of the future could be fortified using tiny needles

Tiny needles made of silk could be used to apply nutrients to farm crops so the chemicals don’t end up in the air or soil.
These hollow microneedles can also be used to monitor plant health.
Researchers tested their ability to deliver iron to iron-deficient tomato plants, which can cause a disease known as chlorosis.
Chlorosis can decrease yields, but treating it by spraying crops is inefficient and can have environmental side effects.
The researchers showed that their microneedles could be used for the sustained delivery of iron without harming the plants.
The researchers, a team from the USA’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology and scientists from Singapore also showed the micro-needles could be used to fortify crops while they grow.
Historically, crop fortification efforts have focused on minerals like zinc or iron, with vitamins only added after the food is harvested.
In each case, the researchers applied the microneedles to the stalks of plants by hand.
But the team envisions equipping autonomous vehicles and other equipment already used in farms to automate and scale the process.
OPS: These optical and scanning electron microscope images show the microneedle and zoom in at the tip of the microneedle.
