Abstract

Linseed is one of the major Rabi oil seed crop grown in India. Linseed is a rich source of protein, minerals and vitamins for human nutrition and straw is also valued animal feed. Among then incorporation of Neem cake was found significantly superior over all the treatments resulting minimum avg. disease incidence (38.00%) with maximum yield (7.50 q/ha) was observed in the year 2017-18, Among the tested soil amendment F.Y.M. was showed maximum disease incidence (50.00%) and minimum yield (3.95 q/ha.) in the year of 2017-18. In the year of 2018-19 the minimum disease incidence (35.00 %) was recorded in Neem cake amendment with respect to highest yield of (7.00 q/ha.), the maximum average incidence (79.27%) were recorded in F.Y.M. with minimum lowest (1.11  q/ha.) average yield. The maximum disease incidence (30.40%) with minimum yield (3.00 q/ha) was observed in the year 2017-18 in 10th October date of sowing, the maximum disease incidence (14.50%) with yield (9.06q/ha.) observed in 30th October.  In Year 2018-19 maximum disease incidence (30.12%) with yield (3.10q/ha.) was observed in 10th October, the minimum disease incidence (10.00%) with yield (10.75q/ha.) observed in October, 30th October in the year of 2018-19.

Abstract

Water is one of the most criticalresources due to increasing populationas well as agricultural growth depends upon the availabilitywater resource potential in India thatincludes both the surface and ground water potential. The objective of study was to find out major decision criteria practiced by the farmers to use the ground water resources and develop the optimum plan by using ground water resources through tubewellirrigation water with the help of 54 randomly selected farmers from Deoria district of Uttar Pradesh in the year 2019-20. Likert scale technique was used to find out the most relevant decision-criteria practiced by the farmers andmulti-objective programming was used to obtain optimum plans under various decision criteria. Maximization of gross return by farming, minimization of risk in farming, minimization of total labor use in farming and minimization of total working capital in farming emerged as main decisions criteria practiced by farmers in using tubewell irrigation water in the study area.Total gross margin was increased by 3.30% while risk value, labour use and working capital were decreased with 6.01%, 30.23% and 32.30% in the optimum plan overexisting plan.

Keywords: Likert scale, multi-criteria decision, multi-objective programming, ground water irrigation

Abstract

Lac is a natural resin secreted by an insect Kerria lacca (Kerr) which thrives on the tender twigs of specific host trees viz., palas (Butea monosperma), ber (Ziziphus mauritiana), kusum (Schleichera oleosa), Flemingia semialata, Ficus spp. etc. Raw lac is the source of three valuable, natural and renewable products i.e. resin, dye and wax. Rangeeni and kusumi are the two strains of lac insect which are classified based on preference of the insect for specific host plants.

Keywords: Lac, Kerria lacca (Kerr), ber, Kusum

Abstract

The physicochemical quality of different river systems of the country is of major concerns to the people and environmentalists.Sai River flowing through rural and lesser urbanized areas is also under threat.The physicochemical characteristics like temperature ranged from 18.6- 28.8 0C throughout the year while the pH varied between 7.4-8. Range of dissolved oxygen (DO), BOD, free CO2 and alkalinity falls in between 3.4-6.8 ppm; 4.2-28.6ppm; 16.6-32.6ppm and 112-136ppm respectively. The study revealed that the water under study was polluted and may result in serious threat to the aquatic biota and public health in future.

Keywords: Sai River, physicochemical, BOD, DO, alkalinity

Abstract

Total carbohydrate and glucose was determined in the eggs of the rice ear cutting caterpillar, Mythimna separata during normal embryonic development. Significant increase in total carbohydrate content is evident during early stages (0-8 h to 32-40 h) and later on (40-48 h to 64-72 h) declines. Glucose content decreases upto 24 h after that its level increases.

Keywords: Mythimna, carbohydrate, glucose, normal embryonic development

Abstract

Sugar mill treated effluent was studied to know the effect on seed germination and seedling growth on Cicer arietinum. Among the various kinds of water pollution, the problem of Sugar factory effluent has a serious one in India and play major role in polluting the water bodies and land by discharging a large amount of wastewater as effluent. The continuous use of sugar factory effluents can harmfully affects the soil and ultimately crops, if used for irrigation without dilution. The various concentrations of treated effluents (10, 25, 50, 75 and 100%), and control (distilled water) were taken for the study. The experiment was under observation for 21 days. On 21st day there was gradual decrease in germination percentage and morphological parameters with increasing concentration of treated effluent, however 10 and 25% treatment shows slight increase.

Keywords: Sugar factory effluent, toxicity, germination, seedling growth, cicer arietinum
