Authors: Saini Nidhi , Singh Sumer , Chowdhury Parul
Published: September 2024

The process of modernization and industrialization has indeed heightened environmental toxicity. Deterioration of plant growth and nutrient uptake has resulted in adverse effects on human health. Heavy metals are the most prominent pollutants. Elevated levels of heavy metals can surpass essential elements, leading to deficiencies in plant nutrition and hindering growth. The objective of the study was to extract bacteria that are resistant to zinc and cadmium from fields located in close proximity to the Malviya Nagar industrial zone in Jaipur. After collecting a soil sample, colonies were isolated on nutrient agar medium with varying amounts of heavy metals. Characterization of well-defined colonies was conducted using morphological and biochemical methods, and identification of resistant bacteria was performed using advanced bacterial isolation software (ABIS). Azohydromonas lata, Kosakonia arachidis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the prominent bacterial species found to have a similarity value over 90%. Among all the bacteria that were identified, Kosakonia arachidis was selected for additional investigation due to the scarcity of studies conducted on this bacterium for the purpose of mitigating heavy metal contamination from soil. The study aimed to assess its capacity to enhance the development of mung beans in non-circulating hydroponic systems under zinc and cadmium stress conditions. The presented study demonstrates the remarkable capacity of Kosakonia arachidis to facilitate plant growth in environments characterized by zinc concentrations of 1000 ppm and cadmium concentrations of 300 ppm. This characteristic renders it a highly promising and pragmatic choice for biofertilizer utilization in plants experiencing stress caused by heavy metals.

Published: September 2024

Diseases and pests in plants/crops are major causes of significant agricultural losses with economic, social and ecological impacts. Therefore, there is a need for early identification of plant diseases and pests through automated systems. Recently, machine learning-based methods have become popular in solving agricultural problems such as plant diseases faced by technically-noob farmers. This work proposes a novel method based on stacking ensemble machine learning to detect plant diseases in Uradbean precisely. Two classifiers: support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF) are trained on a dataset consists of Uradbean infected and healthy leaf images. These classifiers are stacked with logistic regression (LR) classifier. In the diverse ensemble, LR classifier is used as a meta-learner which enhanced the precision of the disease classification. The fuzzy C-Means clustering with particle swarm optimization is used for image segmentation. Haralick, Hu Moments and color histogram methods are used in feature extraction. During the tests, the proposed model is also compared with pre-trained networks: DenseNet-201, ResNet-50, and VGG19. It achieved an impressive classification accuracy of 96.82 % which is higher than the individual classifiers and pre-trained networks. To validate model performance, it is evaluated on a benchmark public dataset consists of Apple leaf images and achieved 98.30% accuracy. It is observed that ensemble method reflects an advantage over individual models in increasing the classification rates and reducing the computational overhead in comparison to pre-trained networks which struggle due to the issues such as irrelevant features, generation of pertinent characteristics, and noise

Published: September 2024

The effectiveness of biogas as a source of energy is hampered by low calorific value and equipment degradation due to corrosive impurities in raw biogas. Current purification techniques are tailored for large scale applications; they use a lot of energy, which are expensive and require high operating skills. In this study, adsorption and absorption at ambient conditions were explored for the removal of CO2 and H2S from biogas using NaOH and Ca(OH)2. Activated carbon (AC) from coconut shells and iron oxide from waste iron fillings were used as adsorbents. These waste-derived adsorbents are more affordable and easily accessible, in addition, their use contributes to effective waste management. The effect of biogas concentration, absorbent concentration, and adsorbent mass was evaluated. Synergistic effect of adsorption and absorption; recovery, regeneration and reuse of the adsorbents were assessed. The adsorption capacity was 125.5 mg CO2/g AC and 58.2 ppm H2S/g iron oxide. The combined systems attained CO2 and H2S removal efficiencies of 98% and 100%, respectively using iron oxide-NaOH; and >95% and 100%, respectively for AC-iron oxide combination. The spent adsorbents were regenerated and reused at least twice. The CO2 adsorption was best described by the Yoon-Nelson model throughout the entire breakthrough profile with an R2 value of 0.98 using AC. The low-cost sorbents used have great potential for biogas purification for small scale systems.

Published: September 2024

The study examined the extent of solid waste recycling practices employed by hotels in Aba and Umuahia metropolises of Abia State, Nigeria. Urban cities in Nigeria face challenges with waste management and it has been discovered that hotels play major roles in generating massive quantities of solid wastes in our environment. Recycling which is an important 21st century innovation seems not to be utilized by hotels as a waste management strategy even with its numerous advantages. The objective of the study is to examine the extent hotels recycle solid wastes in major urban cities in Abia State. 434 hotel managers and heads of housekeeping department of all the registered hotels in Aba and Umuahia metropolises made up the population for the study but with 420 as valid respondents. Survey research design was adopted through the use of questionnaire. Mean distribution and standard deviations were used to analyze the research question while t-test was used to test the hypothesis formulated for the study. Findings of the study showed that hotels in Aba and Umuahia metropolis of Abia State recycle food waste to a high extent but recycle other types of solid wastes to a limited extent. Hotels are therefore advised to fully engage in unlimited recycling especially with solid wastes which are merely discarded or sold to scrap and waste buyers.

Pembudidayaan ikan, khususnya ikan air tawar sudah bukan hal yang baru lagi di Indonesia. Hal ini dikarenkan sudah banyaknya didirikan pokdakan atau Kelompok Pembudidaya Ikan. Pokdakan Karang Pipa Plaju Darat merupakan salah satunya. Ada banyak kendala yang dialami oleh pembudidaya ikan ini, dan yang paling crucial adalah kendala pakan. 70% dari kegiatan pembudidaya an Ikan tertumpu pada pakan ikan.Mahalnya harga pakan pabrikan membuat resah para pembudidaya ikan, dimana biaya yang dikeluarkan akan lebih banyak disbanding keuntungan yang didapatkan. Solusi yang sudah ditawarkan pemerintah yaitu adanya alternative penggunaan pakan ikan mandiri. Sosialisasi penggunaan pakan ikan mandiri ini sudah berlangsung lama, namun belum banyak peminatnya, dikarenakan kurangnya edukasi atau sosialisasi langsung pada pembudidaya ikan. Maka dari itu tim pengabdi yang berkolaborasi dengan mahasiswa Stisipol Candradimuka melakukan pengabdian masnyarakat dengan program pembuatan pakan ikan mandri. Dimana dengan adanya program ini, dapat membantu para pembudidaya ikan mampu membuat pakan ikan secara mandiri dan mampu menekan pengeluaran pakan ikan.
