Abstract The
experiment was undertaken two consecutive years during rainy season at
Regional Research Station, Mainpuri, C.S. Azad
University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur (U.P.). The experimental
soil was sandy loam, having poor status of fertility. The six treatments i.e.
ammonium molybdate @ 10 kg/ ha, iron sulphate @ 10 kg/ha zinc sulphate
@ 10 kg/ha, cupper sulphate
@ 10 kg/ha, gypsum @ 300 kg/ha and control were tested in RBD with 4
replications. Application of gypsum @ 300 kg/ha with RDF registered
significantly higher pod yield of peanut by 15.41 q/ha. The other
micro-nutrients in combination recommended doses of NPK produced almost
statistically at par pod yield of peanut. The order of performance was gypsum
@ 300 kg/ha (15.41 q/ha)> ammonium moly. @ 10
kg/ha (13.98 q/ha) > iron sulphate @ 10 kg/ha
(13.70 q/ha) >
zinc sulphate 10 kg/ha (13.70 q/ha)
> cupper sulphate 10
kg/ha (13.34 q/ha) > control (12.00 q/ha). The higher net profit Rs
24345/ha and BCR 1:1.54 were computed with the application gypsum @ 300
kg/ha, while lowest net profit (Rs 9000/ha) and BCR (1:1.20) obtained at
control. The highest pod damage due to incidence of pod borer was recorded
with application of iron sulphate @ 10 kg/ha (9.8%)
and cupper sulphate @ 10
kg/ha (7.05%). Keywords: Deficiency, Gypsum, Incidence, Micro-nutrient, Pod

Abstract Bipolar
disorder or bipolar affective disorder is historically
known as manic–depressive disorder.Medical
treatment is the primary treatment for bipolar disorder. To get the best from
medications, there is requirement of adding psychological treatment. The
benefits of adding psychological to usual medical treatment include
reductions in bipolar relapse; time spent with symptoms and hospitalization,
and improved functioning.There have been various
researches conducted in the area of efficacy of interpersonal and social
rhythm therapy (IPSRT) but there are only a few study reported in Indian populations.Therefore present study is conducted to see
the efficacy and durability of the IPSRT with active medication. Keywords Bipolar disorder,
Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy, Treatment |

Abstract An experiment was
conducted during two consecutive years of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 at Hillocks
and Valley Watershed of Jhararghat, Lalitpur, situated in catchments area of river Betawa. The soil of watershed area was sandy loam locally
known as Rakar, having pH 8.1, organic carbon
0.26%, total nitrogen 0.02%, available phosphorous 10.38 kg/ha and available
potassium 227.00 kg/ha initially before starting of present experiment. The
trial was conducted on farmers fields under blackgram-Indian mustard cropping system. There were four
treatments comprised of conventional system, runoff recharge in stony dug
wells, runoff harvesting at hill bottom in natural water impounding structure
and runoff collection in constructed water storage structure.The
black gram variety Azad Urd-3 and Indian mustard Ev.Varuna
were sown with conservation agronomical practices. The highest seed yield of blackgram by 9.06 q/ha was reaped from runoff collection
in constructed water storage structure of pilot area. The sowing of Indian
mustard after blackgram in the same treatment gave
highest seed yield by 24.87 q/ha. The net return was found maximum Rs.120675/ha
with runoff collection in constructed water storage structure. There was
different of Rs 68480 /ha was noted between runoff collection in constructed
water storage structure and conventional system. Runoff collection in
constructed water storage structure brought out the maximum benefit cost
ratio of 1:3.20. The lowest benefit cost ratio of 1:1.95 was computed under
conventional system or farmers practice. Keywords B:C ratio,

Abstract Petri
dish culture experiments conducted to study the effect of chromium (Cr+6)
on metabolic activities such as pigments, chlorophyll, pheophytin,
carotenoid, total protein, catalase,
peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) of black gram (Vigna mungo L.
PDM139). Seedlings were evaluated on basis of 7 day exposure under different
concentration of chromium such as 5,10 & 15mg/L.
These concentrations were significantly affected chlorophyll, pheophytin, carotenoid, catalase, peroxidase
and guiacol peroxidase
activity in seedling of black gram. Study shows significant (p<0.05)
decrease in total chlorophyll in presence of high level of chromium
concentration 5% (1.603 ±0.04), 10% (1.361 ±0.04)& 15% (1.211 ±0.09) as
compared to control (1.798 ±0.03). Similar observations also reveal
significant (p<0.05) decrease in the pheophytin
for different Cr+6 concentrations 5%(2.290±0.06),
10%(1.963±0.09) & 15%(1.682±0.04). The investigation shows that Catalase, peroxidase & GPX activity significantly
increase in different concentration of chromium as compare to control.Although the level of total pheophytin
significantly decrease with reference to elevated dose of chromium
concentration. Keywords: Chromium,Vigna mungo, seedling, pigments |

Abstract A field experiment
was conducted on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) at Vegetable Research Station, Kalyanpur, Kanpur (U.P.) during
2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 in sandy loam soil. Treatments included
combinations of two cultivars (Kufri Sadabahar and Kufri Surya) and
five nitrogen levels (0, 75, 150, 225 and 300 kg/ha) replicated four times in
factorial randomized block design. Based on pooled data over years, plant
height (Kufri Sadabahar-
53.83 and Kufri Surya- 55.64 cm), number of shoots
per plant (Kufri Sadabahar-
5.45 and Kufri Surya- 5.90) and tuber yield (Kufri Sadabahar- 32.58 t/ha and
Kufri Surya- 35.85 t/ha) increased significantly upto 225 kg N/ha. Similar trend was also observed in case
of net return and significantly highest of
164885 and 189774/ha was obtained under treatment of 225 kg N/ha in Kufri Sadabahar and Kufri Surya, respectively. Therefore, application of 225
kg N/ha may be recommended for these varieties in central plain zone of Uttar
Pradesh. Keywords: Potato, Cultivars, Nitrogen, Growth, Yield, Economics |
