Authors: Andaki Jardie A. , Tumbol Reiny A. , Rantung Steelma V.
Published: February 2025

Seaweed farming is an important source of livelihood for many people but is vulnerable to global and local pressures. Resilient cultivators are able to maintain, and even grow, their livelihoods, despite these pressures. Increasing the resilience of seaweed farmers contributes to the prevention and alleviation of poverty. The aim of this research is to determine the status of sustainability of seaweed cultivation livelihoods in Nain Island, North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Based on the results of the Rapfish analysis, a sustainability index was obtained for the economic and institutional dimensions with unsustainable status, for the socio-cultural dimension less sustainable, and the technological dimension with moderately sustainable status. Sensitive attributes that influence 9 of the 16 attributes. For the economic dimension, sensitive factors are market chain, marketing and acceptance. In the socio-cultural dimension, sensitive attributes are family participation and other businesses. In the technological dimension, the attributes that influence or need to be intervened in the sustainability status of seaweed cultivation businesses are the availability of industry and the availability of clotheslines. And in the institutional dimension, the influential attributes are the extension center and the origin of capital. The results of the sustainability index analysis for each dimension of seaweed cultivation activities on Nain Island are included in the less sustainable category at this time. The results of research regarding the ecological conditions in seaweed cultivation on Nain Island are in accordance with the existing theory that the suitable season for cultivation is the dry season. Then, regarding the availability of the seeds themselves, they are always available with medium quality seeds, because the seeds are used repeatedly. The average depth of water for farmers' cultivation is 6.27, based on theory, this depth is suitable for seaweed cultivation activities.

Published: February 2025

Using local feed was hampered primarily by overlooking the proper growing period of hay harvesting. The objective was to determine the stage of Stylosanthes humilis (Kunth) should be harvested in order to maximize dry matter and provide higher-quality hay. The six treatments were before to flowering (BF), 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100% flowering stages were tested for yield and nutritional quality using a randomized complete block design with three replications. The findings demonstrated that the evaluated morphological features and quality indicators had different interaction effects. Hay harvested at 10% flowering stage had the highest leaf proportion, and the CP content varied significantly (p<0.01) between treatments; hay harvested at 10% flowering stage had a higher IVDMD value (66.9%), while hay harvested before flowering had a higher value (20.9, 20.8, and 20.6%, respectively). Plant height had a negative correlation with LSR, CP, ash, NDF, ADF, and IVDMD, but a positive and significant (P<0.001) correlation with DM% and dry matter yield t/ha. NDF was uncorrelated with LSR, DMY t/ha, and IVDMD, while it was positively and significantly correlated (p<0.001) with ADF and DM% and negatively connected with CP. Determine that the 25% flowering stage was the best time to harvest Stylosanthes humilis (Kunth) hay, leading to a higher dry matter yield and better nutrient quality. This was highly advised in order to improve the usage of Stylosanthes humilis (Kunth) hay in farmers' technological demonstrations.

Parameterized Post-Friedmann Formalism for the Dark Scattering Model
Authors: Alessa Durrah , Carrilho Pedro
Published: February 2025

Recent results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument find a preference for dynamical dark energy. This motivates improving the accuracy of predictions for dynamical dark energy models, including those which can resolve current tensions in the data, such as the dark scattering model. We improve the parameterized post-Friedmann approach for this model, reducing the error from approximately 1.3% to only 0.1%. Additionally, we show that the commonly used scale-independent approximation may not be completely accurate and, when applying the best-fit values from DESI on the dark scattering model, we predict an enhancement of the power spectrum at late times, worsening the S8 tension.

Textile industry play an important role in the country economy but plagued by the pollution. It causes air, water and
soil pollution and play a major in the health impact of the people working in the industry or the people residing near by areas.
This study aims to investigate the effects of the textile industry on the local people's health as well as the environment,
particularly the quality of the soil and water, in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh. The study assessed the impact of pollution by
testing samples of soil and water, conducting surveys, and speaking with employees of the industry. The result gives an insight
about the quality of water near to the textile industry. Though the pH and the electrical conductivity of the water is equal to the
standard value, the high levels of bicarbonate, chloride, and hardness suggest the need for water treatment before use to avoid
harmful effects on people and the environment. Similarly, the soil pH was also normal, but the nitrogen and phosphorus values
are highly elevated. The study also showed 79% of the people experienced skin related issues and 14% of the people experienced
respiratory problems. Proper treatment of water will help in reducing the soil and water pollution.

Aim: To determine variation among the low chill peach cultivars for various metric and non-metric parameters of flowering and fruiting, with an objective to identify potential genotypes with promising attributes for trait-specific low chill peach breeding.

Methodology: The present study was performed at Horticulture Research Centre, Patharchatta, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India during the years 2021 and 2022. The qualitative attributes were assessed as per the DUS Guidelines of Protection of Plant Varieties & Farmer’s Right Authority. The quantitative and quality attributes were estimated following the standard methodology (AOAC, 2000). The pooled data of 2021 and 2022 were analyzed to test the significance of differences between the means for different parameters through ANOVA.

Results: The cultivar Florda Prince performed better in terms of early fruit maturity (69.83 days) and also produced the heaviest (123.70 g) and largest fruit size (66.30 x 62.63 mm). The pulp-to-stone ratio ranged between 9.49 (Selection-12) to 23.32 (Florda Red). The cultivar Shan-i-Punjab was the most productive cultivar (20.52 kg/tree), however, the maximum yield efficiency (0.080 kg cm-2) was found in Saharanpur Prabhat variety. In terms of fruit quality, Florda Gold determined the maximum TSS content (13.61°B) while Red June witnessed minimum titratable acidity (0.44%) with maximum antioxidant capacity (72.24%). For major bio-active compounds (total phenols and flavonoids), the cultivar Selection-12 was superior (68.67 mg gallic acid eq. 100 g-1; 61.90 mg 100 g-1) among all low chill peaches.

Interpretation: The findings of the present study will be useful in the selection of peach cultivars that may prove to be valuable genetic resources for the improvement of low chill peaches.

Aim: To study the impact of modified crop microclimate on the performance of green gram in a representative district of the Upper Brahmaputra Valley zone of Assam.

Methodology: A field experiment was conducted during the summer of 2021 in the ICR Farm of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat to study the impact of modified microclimates on the growth and yield of green gram under different planting systems. The variety SGC-16 was grown in a split-plot design with 3 dates of sowing at an interval of 15 days starting from 20th February (D1) till 20th March (D3) in main plots and three planting systems, i.e., P1- ridge and furrow, P2 – raised bed with two rows in bed and P3–flat bed in sub-plot treatment, with three replications following recommended agronomic practices.

Results: The average soil moisture content in the upper 30 cm soil profile was highest in D3 (80.4±11.8 mm), followed by D2 (75.0±7.8 mm) and D1 (66.4±6.9 mm). Compared to P3, the decrease in weekly evening soil temperatures under P1 and P2 was up to 2.1 and 1.4°C, respectively. Irrespective of sowing dates the mean maximum leaf area index (2.06) and higher pods per plant (16.7) were recorded under P1. The seed yield under different sowing dates and planting systems ranged from 286.3 to 681.0 kg ha-1 with an overall mean of 509.8 kg ha-1. Correlation studies between seed yield, LAI and soil moisture in the upper 30 cm soil profile confirmed the existence of a significant and positive correlation between them.

Interpretation: The yield of the crop planted on 20th March (D3) under ridge and furrow planting (P1) was maximum, facilitated by optimum weather conditions with improved soil hydrothermal regimes at various phenological stages of entire crop growing season.

Aim: Studying the influence of certain novel insecticides on soil faunal communities.

Methodology: Soil micro and macroarthropods, total bacterial and fungal population as well as the key soil enzyme activities were studied prior to and after application of insecticides at every 15 days interval to establish their impact.

Results: Prior to the application of insecticides, Hymenoptera was recorded to be the most dominant order (54.74%) among the soil macroarthropods followed by Coleoptera (13.68%) and Araneae (11.57%) whereas Collembola and Oribatida were recorded as soil microarthropods registering 64.72 and 35.28 per cent, respectively. All the insecticidal treatments recorded a significant reduction (p=0.05) in the soil macroarthropod, bacterial and fungal population as well as soil enzymatic activities up to 75 days of application indicating the detrimental effects of insecticides as compared to the untreated plots, which showed more stable habitats for the soil fauna. On the contrary, the insecticidal treatments did not exhibit any significant impact (p=0.05) on the population of soil microarthropods during the study period.

Interpretation: Adoption of ecofriendly pest management practices relying on balance dose of insecticides with proper application methodologies may give insight in maintaining the ecological balance of soil biota in agroecosystems.

Aim: To develop a systematic and robust in vitro multiplication method for production of guava rootstock.

Methodology: Nodal segments and shoot tip explants were sourced from in vitro and poly house raised seedlings. These explants were inoculated in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal media supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of growth regulators for establishment, shoot proliferation and root induction.

Results: The supplementation of basal MS media with 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) (2.0 mg l-1) + Kinetin (0.5 mg l-1) facilitated the successful establishment of explants sourced from in vitro raised guava seedlings, resulting in higher establishment rates for nodal segments (62.67 %). Optimal shoot proliferation (55.70 %) and shoot length (2.78 cm) was achieved by incorporating BAP (2.0 mg l-1) + gibberellic acid (GA3) (0.5 mg l-1) into the MS media whereas 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at a concentration of 0.5 mg l-1 resulted in the highest levels of root induction (54.63%) and number of roots per shoot (2.94).

Interpretation: Successful in vitro regeneration of guava plants was attained by adding 2.0 mg l-1 of BAP and 0.5 mg l-1 of GA3 to the MS medium for highest shoot proliferation with NAA @ 0.5 mg l-1 for the optimum rooting of plantlets. The rooted plants were effectively acclimatized using a mixture of cocopeat, vermiculite and perlite (2:1:1) as a growing medium.

Aim: To compare the soil biological properties under organic and conventional farming systems. The lack of information on these properties results in an unbalanced use of nutrient sources in crop production. Therefore, proper research in this area is important to harness the benefits of soil biological properties into the desired crop yield and productivity.

Methodology: Five different sites consisting two conventionally managed sites, i.e., CPGS-AS Farm, Umiam and Palwi Village, Bhoirymbong Block, and three organically managed, i.e., ICAR Farm, Umiam; Kyrdem Village, Bhoirymbong Block and virgin soil of CPGS-AS Farm, Krydemkulai were selected for study. A total of 40 random soil samples were collected in a zig-zag manner from the plough layer (0-15 cm depth) from each site. The soil samples were well composited and six composite samples of 1 kg each were derived from each of the sites and stored in the freezer at 4˚C for microbial studies. The collected soil samples were studied for various biological properties using standard protocols and the properties were compared. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used foranalysis and themeans were compared by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (p<0.01).

Results: Biological properties viz. soil organic carbon, bacterial count, actinomycetes count, acid phosphatase activity, soil microbial biomass carbon and soil microbial biomass phosphorus, except fungal count resulted in higher amounts in soils collected from organic farming systems than that of the conventional systems.

Interpretation: Organic farming systems have better soil biological properties compared to the conventional farming systems indicating superior soil health and soil fertility status under organic farming systems.

Aim: The present study was designed to improve the antibacterial activity of Chitosan Oligo-Saccharide (COS) by incorporating Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). Additionally, the impact of various organic acids on chitosan (CH) was also examined.

Methodology: ZnO-NP was synthesised by sol-gel method and its nano-size was confirmed through various techniques such as UV-spectra, Scanning Electron Microscope and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Thereafter, the ZnO-NP-CH composites were prepared with a different molecular weight of chitosan, i.e., COS, low, medium and high molecular weight of chitosan. The antibacterial activity of chitosan, including its ZnO-NP composite, was evaluated using different molecular weights with constant pH and deacetylation percentage. Additionally, chitosan was prepared in various organic acids to identify a suitable solvent.

Results: Most of the resistant bacteria became susceptible after the addition of ZnO-NP in all different molecular weight chitosan.

Interpretation: Chitosan Oligo-Saccharide antibacterial activity was improved at par with low molecular weight chitosan. Hence, the COS-ZnO-NP composite possessed a high antibacterial property of water-soluble nature, which will be useful for more food and biomedical applications.

Aim: To investigate the effect of rock phosphate enriched compost (RPEC) on phosphorus (P) adsorption-desorption patterns under maize-wheat cropping system in Typic Haplustept.

Methodology: Soil samples were collected from ongoing experimental field since 2017 located at the Research Farm 8B of the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India with six different treatments replicated four times each. The treatments involved a variety of organic and inorganic sources of P. The control was labelled as T1, while T2 consisted of 100% of the recommended dose of P using diammonium phosphate (DAP), T3 only 50% of the P was supplied through DAP and the remaining 50% P through RPEC. In T4, 25% of the P was from DAP and 75% from RPEC. In contrast, 100% P in T5 came from RPEC alone, and ordinary compost served as the sole source for 100% P in T6.

Results: The bonding energy, binding affinity, maximum adsorption capacity, and maximum buffering capacity of P decreased with organic fertilizer application. The most significant effect was observed with supplementation of 50% P with RPEC. The desorption percentage and desorption index both increased with the application of RPEC, indicating an enhanced availability of P in the soil.

Interpretation: The use of RPEC can positively influence the P dynamics in soil, thereby potentially leading to improved agricultural productivity. It can be an effective alternative for sustaining soil P and reducing foreign exchange spent on importing raw materials for P-fertilizer preparation.
