Abstract: Globally,
environmental concerns over greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, ozone
depletion etc. are related to energy production and its consumption. These
issues must be taken into serious consideration so as to achieve global
stability in terms of energy security by reducing the use of fossil fuels for
energy generation. If humans keep on depleting the resources and degrading
the environment, the future of human generation will be bleak. Therefore, to
achieve a sustainable future, society must optimally use the resources
available for energy generation with no or very little environmental impact.
This shows that energy, environment and sustainable development are
correlated. So, it is suggested that adopting green energy technologies at
domestic and industrial sector would be the foremost factor in determining
the sustainable future for sustainable economy. In order to achieve
sustainable development of the country it is necessary to stabilize the
energy demand through green energy sources and technologies. It is believed
that switching to green energy based technologies could help in combating the
worldwide concerns over climate change and therefore should be promoted by
the government and other authorities. Keywords: Green energy,

Abstract: Rice crop has a
relatively large number of insect-pests associated with it inflicting yield
losses to an extent of 25 per cent. Among the major rice pests, stem borers
are economically important worldwide. The stem borers are most vulnerable to
natural enemies at the egg, larval and adult stages and on an average only
1-4 per cent of the egg population reaches adulthood while the rest perishes
due to biotic and abiotic factors. The biocontrol agents including parasitoids, predators and
nematodes are the major biotic factors utilised for
their suppression. The majority of parasitoids attacking stem borers belong
to orders Hymenoptera and Diptera while among
predators, anthocoridae, pentatomidae,
reduviidae, carabidae, coccinellidae, staphylinidae, chrysopidae, cecidomyiidae, syrphidae, formicidae, gerridae, miridae, vellidae and dytiscidae are the
most common families. Besides, pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi,
protozoa and nematodes are also known to attack the pest. Lot of literature
on the biological control of rice insect pests is available claiming efficacy
in a range between 3 to 100 per cent but is all scattered. Hence compiled
information in this review article would be helpful in the application of
eco-friendly management against rice stem borers. Key words: Stem borer,

Abstract: The present study deals with Ichthyofaunal
diversity in Sarangpani Lake from Bhopal (India)
and study was undertaken during July 2007 to December 2007. The results of
present were revealed that the Ichthyofaunal
diversity was existed in this water body, available 13 fish species belonging
to 3 orders, 5 families and 10 genera. The order Cypriniformes
was dominant (6 species) followed by Siluriformes
(2 species) and Perciformes (2 species) which
indicate rich icthyofaunal diversity. The available
fish fauna contribute 4.73 mt of fish production.
It is conclude that this water body is rich in ichthyodiversity
but fishes have reach to the extinct due to discharges pollutant so the
conservation of existed fish fauna is important sustainable diversity. Key

Abstract: The present study
represents the influence of fly ash, and organic manures on the heavy metal
uptake and biological property of soil. A field experiment was conducted
during 2014-15 using fly ash (@ 20 t ha-1) with combination of
different manures viz., Farm Yard Manure (FYM @ 12.5 tha-1), Humic acid
(HA @37.5 liters ha-1) and Green Leaf Manure (GLM @ 6.25 t ha-1)
along with different levels of fertilizers. Fly ash generated from Mettur Thermal Power Station was selected for the
experiment. Analysis of fly ash revealed that it is neutral to alkaline (pH
8.1) in reaction and free from salinity.The results
confirmed that fly ash contains all the elements as that of soil except
organic carbon and nitrogen. Total content of P, K, Ca, Mg and micronutrients
were high. The fly ash containing heavy metal content viz., Cr (2.1 mg
kg-1), Pb (2.6 mg kg-1) and Cd (1.1 mg kg-1) were quantified by DTPA
extractable method. The harvested rice crop (grain and straw) and
experimental soil were assessed for heavy metal content.Based
on the data obtained it is found that bio concentration of heavy metals
accumulated in the rice (grain and straw) and soil was very low and below the
permissible limits provided for human conception. The microbial population
was not affected due to the fly ash application. The increase in microbial
population was noticed when fly ash was added with manures. Key words: Fly ash, FYM, HA,

Abstract: An investigation
was carried out during kharif 2014 on 100
genotypes of rice germplasm accessions to study
character inter- relationship using correlation and path analysis. Character
association analysis revealed significant positive association of grain yield
per plant with number of effective tillers per plant (r =0.4968), total
number of grains per panicle (r= 0.4331), plant height (r = 0.3914), panicle
length (r=0.3541) and number of filled grains per panicle (r= 0.481). Hence
selection for these traits can enhance yield. Path coefficient analysis
revealed that numbers of filled grains per panicle is the main components of
grain yield and should be given high priority in the selection programme as it has high direct effect (0.7501) for yield
and have high indirect effect for grain yield via Plant height
(0.3817), Panicle Length (0.3465) and total number of grains per panicle
(0.7235). Key words: Correlation, Path

Abstract: The present study
was undertaken to detect the presence of canine distemper virus (CDV) in
suspected dogs by immunochromatographic (IC) strip
test and nested RT-PCR. A total of 100 samples (50 each of conjunctival and nasal swabs) were collected from dogs suspected
of canine distemper. These samples were tested by IC strip test using Ubio quickVET canine distemper
virus Ag detection kit for preliminary diagnosis and then subjected to
molecular detection by nested RT-PCR. Twenty eight samples were found
positive by the Ubio quickVet
kit and out of these positive samples 17(34%) were conjunctival
swabs and 11(22%) were nasal swabs. A total of 50 samples were subjected to
nested RT-PCR for the detection of CD virus RNA by amplification of N gene
and desired amplicon of 419bp was observed in nine
samples, out of which 6 (24%) were conjunctival
swabs and 3(12%) were nasal swabs. Nested RT-PCR of N gene is the reliable
technique for the detection of CDV and conjunctival
swab samples would be the most suitable and practical specimen for the early

Abstract: A leaching study
was conducted in the research laboratory to study the effect of the dose of prilled urea (PU) on the transport and transformation of
nitrogen in packed soil column. The air dried soil sample collected from the
central experiment research station of O. U. A. T. was packed layer wise in 4
PVC columns having diameter of 8.6cm and height of 15cm. with an bulk density of 1.5 Mg m-3. Four soil
columns consist of; C1- No nitrogen(Control), C2 – 50
kg N ha-1, C3 – 75 kg N ha-1 and C4
-100 kg N ha-1. In all the soil columns nitrogen was applied in
form of prilled urea (PU). The soil columns were
leached with distilled water by the help of marriot
device with a flow rate of 15±1 ml h-1. The breakthrough curves
for NH2-N indicated that highest mean resident time of 30 h was
observed with C4 (100 kg N ha-1) whereas lowest value
of 15 h was observed with C3 (75 kg N ha-1). The
highest NH2-N velocity of 0.63cmh-1 was observed with C1
followed by 0.58cm h-1 with C4. Highest recovery
fraction of 0.392 was observed with C4 due to higher rate of
application of nitrogen and lowest value of 0.293 was observed with C2
where nitrogen application rate is relatively less. The breakthrough curves
for NO3--N indicated that highest mean resident time of
48 h was observed with C4 (100 kg N ha-1) whereas
lowest value of 30 h was observed with C1 (No nitrogen). The
highest NO3--N velocity of 0.47cmh-1 was
observed with C1 followed by 0.39 cm h-1 with C4.
Highest recovery fraction of 0.44 was observed with C4 due to
higher nitrogen application and lowest value of 0.39 with C2. It
was observed that application of higher dose of N fertilizer provide more
time & availability of N to plant. Key words: Breakthrough

Abstract: To study the
extent of genetic variability and genetic control over the mineral nutrients
and proximate principles, seeds were collected from 48 plus trees growing at
different places of Solan and Sirmour
districts of Himachal Pradesh. These were sown in the nursery under
randomized block design. After 16 months growth leaf sample were collected
and analyzed for their mineral and proximate principles.viz., N, P, K, Ca,
Mg, dry matter content, crude protein, crude fibre,
ether extract, total ash and nitrogen free extract.Highly
significant differences among plus tree families for nitrogen, potassium and
most of the proximate principles were observed.Nitrogen
and potassium was found in the range of 1.23-2.30 % and 0.51 – 1.05 %. Among
the minerals genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variability was observed
higher for nitrogen (14.957 and 9.980), whereas these were found higher for
ether extract (34.149 and 25.654), leaf fresh weight (24.755 and 22.569) and
leaf dry weight (21.009 and 18.784). Phenotypic coefficient of variability
(PCV) were higher than the corresponding genotypic coefficient of variability
(GCV) for all the traits studied, indicating thereby, that the characters
have interacted with the environment to some degree. Highest heritability in
conjunction with high genetic gain (%) was observed for leaf fresh weight
(0.83 and 42.34) followed by leaf dry weight (0.79 and 34.58). All the
minerals showed lower value of heritability (below 0.56) and genetic gain
(below 22.34 %).Therefore, present study showed that most of the proximate
principles have least influence of the environment and these traits can be
improved through the direct selection, whereas, mineral nutrients have more
influence of the environment, due to which simple selection will be a limiting
factor for the improvement of traits related to mineral nutrients. Key words: Bauhinia variegata, Heritability, Proximate principles, Plus

Abstract: Experimental
studies were conducted for the production of Orange and carrot based RTS
beverage and its quality evaluation. The quality attributes comprised of
acidity, pH, optical density, TSS, ascorbic acid, total plate count and
sensory quality parameters on 9- point hedonic scale. Evaluation of quality
parameters were done for fresh as well as stored RTS samples at 0, 15, 30,
45, 60, 75 and 90 days of storage under different storage conditions. RTS beverageand carrot samples were packed in glass bottles.
The TSS and acidity of Orange and carrot RTS beverage increased with increase
in the level of Orange juice ratio at different storage condition and the
optical density increased with increase in the level of carrot juice ratio.
The pH decreased with increase in the level of carrot juice and pH values of
the samples composition 80:20, 70:30 and 60:40 after 90 days of storage were
observed as 1.88, 1.95 and 2.00 respectively, at refrigeration condition. The
total plate count (TPC) of the RTS samples of different Orange and carrot
juice ratio of 80:20, 70:30 and 60:40 were observed as 1.055×105cfu/ml, 1.058×105cfu/ml
and 1.060×105cfu/ml at refrigerator
temperature condition. The microbial growth increased during storage period
irrespective of carrot juice ratio at different storage condition. The
minimum ascorbic acid of the sample of juice ratio (Orange: carrot) 80:20,
70:30 and 60:40 after 90 days of storage were observed as 1.90, 1.67 and 1.50
respectively, at refrigeration condition. The higher score of overall
acceptability was 7.92 for the fresh samples and the minimum scored awarded
for overall acceptability was 6.22 for the RTS sample Orange and carrot juice
ratio 80:20 at refrigerator temperature condition. However, the overall
acceptability of beverage decreased with increase in storage period. It was
concluded that refrigerated storage method was found to be superior over
other methods of storage of Orange and carrot based RTS beverage followed by
BOD incubator and room temperature conditions. Keywords: Orange, Carrot,
