Studies on integrated nutrient management on growth and productivity of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) in high altitude range of Himalaya
Authors: DHIMAN MUKHERJEE
Published: October 2023

Field investigations were carried out during the winter season of 2010-11 and 2011-12 at Lava (1850 m asl), under the aegis of Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidayalaya, to evaluate the effect of different FYM and phosphorous levels on growth, yield and economics of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss.] at high altitude. The field experiment consisted of four FYM levels (0, 10, 20 and 30 t/ha) in main plot and four phosphorous levels (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5 /ha) in subplot. Higher plant height and other growth parameters were registered with FYM @ 20t/ha, and was followed by FYM @10 t/ha. Amongst different levels of phosphorus, application of 60 kg P2O5 /ha registered significantly higher growth parameters and was at par with 40 kg/ha at 60 DAS and statically superior to other levels of P application. All the yield attributing characters were statistically influenced by different treatment combinations. Significantly higher seed yield was obtained with FYM @ 20t/ha (2.0 and 1.9 t/ha) and was statisticallyat par with FYM @ 10t/ha (1.8 and 1.9 t/ha) during 2010-11 and 2011-12, respectively. Amongst various subplot treatment highest seed yield during the first year was associated with the application of P2O5 @ 40 kg/ha (2.1 t/ha) and significantly better to other level of phosphorous. However during the second year higher seed yield was registered with 40 kg P2O5 /ha (1.9 t/ha), and was statistically similar with 60 kg P2O5/ha (1.8 t/ha) and 20 kg/ha (1.7 t/ha). Application of P2O5 @ 40 kg/ha resulted in 140.7% higher seed yield over no phosphorous application. Incorporation of FYM @ 20 t/ha registered 74.0% more stover yield compared to no FYM application. With various phosphorous doses, higher yield was registered with the application of 40 kg P2O5 /ha which was at par with 60 kg P2O5 /ha during both the year of experimentation. Application of FYM @ 20 t/ha gave maximum gross returns (` 19380/ha) and higher benefit: cost ratio (1.9). Higher benefit: cost ratio (1.90) was recorded with the application of P2O5 @ 60 kg/ha with net return of ` 18470/ha.

Published: October 2023

Micronutrient malnutrition is a serious health issue affecting billions of people in developing countries. Peanut is rich in several mineral elements required for human nutrition. The objective of this study was to understand genetic variability and inheritance pattern of phosphorus (P), potash (K), zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) concentrations in F2 and F3 generations of two peanut crosses namely Girnar-3 × FDRS-10 (Cross-A) and TG-37A × FDRS-10 (Cross-B). Pshell, Znshell, Kshell, Feshell, and Fekernel were positively skewed indicating additive gene action. Kurtosis formost of the characters moved in positive direction from F2 to F3 generation indicating a reduction in variation as generation advances.Phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV) and genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) revealed that traits were under genetic control and possessed substantial variability and hence a good scope for improving these characters. Both additive and non-additive types of gene actions were observed with the predominance of additive gene action for the inheritance of P, K, Fe and Zn in shell and kernels. Dominance variance (H) also played an important role in the inheritance of P, K, Fe and Zn in peanut. Average degree of dominance for most of the traits was greaterthan unityindicating over dominance forthese traits. Mineral elements had significant association among themselves but very few associations with pod yield. Selection and hybridization followed by pedigree breeding method are suggested in the later generations for genetic improvement to identify high yielding peanut genotypes rich in P, K, Fe and Zn.

Published: October 2023

Traditionally, in India, a variety of edible oils are used for consumption. The type of edible oil being consumed varied across regions. While one region prefers rapeseed-mustard oil, the other region enjoys peanut, sesame and coconut oils. On the whole, rapeseed and mustard oil and peanut oil are the most popularly consumed edible oils in the country. In the study state, Tamil Nadu, the foremost edible oil consumed is peanut oil besides other oils. The technological, economic and policy changes after liberalization induced drastic changes in consumer's preference for food including edible oils. The Markov Chain Analysis for rural and urban Tamil Nadu revealed that there is a perceptible shift in edible oil consumption from traditional peanut oil to Other Edible Oils (OEO's). The possible reason for these shifts are increased urbanization and changing lifestyles, increased awareness, availability of oils in loose pack form in varied quantities available even in remote areas, change in relative prices of oils, and increased income levels ofrural and urban households. The secondary data published byNational Sample SurveyOrganisation for Tamil Nadu state did not clearly disintegrate the OEO's, primary survey was employed for this study. The results based on 1000 households revealed that the dominant edible oil consumed was non-traditional sunflower oil in both rural and urban regions. The per capita consumption of edible oils was also higher in recent years indicating higher consumption demand. The results from this study affirm that peanut oil, which was traditionally consumed by households as first preference, has been replaced by non-traditional oils like sunflower oil owing to various macroeconomic factors like price, cost of cultivation and imports. The change call for more concerted efforts to supply these non-traditional oils in the future as the demand were expected to be high. Further, it also implies need for increasing the capacities of edible oil industries as the overall consumption of edible oil is increasing over years. This study highlights the need for suitable policy options for edible oil processing and marketing specifically for sunflower oil besides traditional oils and trade on edible oils.

Published: October 2023

Castor capsule borer, Conogethes punctiferalis Guenee is a keypest of economic importance in the rainfed castor belts of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The polyphagous pest was found to infest 36 crop plants in India. In the recent years, occurrence of host races or cryptic species have been reported in different host-associated populations of C. punctiferalis. In the present study, oviposition responses and relative fitness of C. punctiferalis on five economically important hosts viz., castor, ginger, turmeric, maize and guava was studied under laboratory conditions. Among five hosts, C. punctiferalis preferred castor and maize for oviposition, while there was no oviposition was recorded on ginger, turmeric and guava. The fecundity, per cent hatching, pupation and adult emergence was 23.6 and 18.6 eggs, 64.4 and 60.2 per cent, 87.7 and 87.3 per cent and 94.9 and 93.0 per cent on castor and maize, respectively. The average larval and pupal periods were 17.15 and 8.27 days on castor, while it was 18.1 and 8.76 days on maize. Field survey was conducted to study off-season activity and carry-over of castor capsule borer, C. punctiferalis during March to July, 2014 and 2015. Among 12 alternate hosts surveyed, off-season multiplication of C. punctiferalis was recorded on perennial castor, guava fruits and mango inflorescence in both the years. Laboratory rearing of the larvae and pupae of C. punctiferalis collected on the alternate hosts revealed that there was no diapause in any stage ofits life cycle during the off-season. The present results provide informative data on relative fitness and off-season activity of C. punctiferalis on alternate hosts will be useful in developing strategies for the management of this pest.

Published: October 2023

Weed management is a science-based decision-making process that coordinates the use of macro andmicro-environment information, weed biology and ecology, and all available technologies to control weeds by the most economical and ecologically viable methods. The concept of weed management is not new and many advances have been made in recent years in India. Weeds compete with crop plants for nutrients, soil water, space and sunlight causing poor growth and yield losses. The extent of yield losses caused by weeds depends up weed density and type of weed flora. The age old practice of controlling weeds in sunflower by hand weeding and hoeing is time consuming, more expensive and tedious although it is more effective. However, timely weed management may not be possible manually due to non-availability of labourers and high rate of wages during peak farm operation. Under such condition, use of herbicides is the need of the hour for crop production. Therefore, use of newly introduced pre-emergence and post emergence herbicides along with cultural and mechanical methods is needed for effective weed management and increase the productivity of sunflower.

This study was carried out used both primary and secondary data in North-Eastern Transition Zone of Karnataka during 2020-21 by adoptingmultistage sampling procedure with the total sample size of sixty farmers with the main objective of analysing the economic viability of natural farming via alia organic and conventional farming. The major finding of the study was that conventional farming gave the highest net returns of `15464 and a B:C ratio of 1.84 compared to organic and natural farming. The cost of cultivation of natural farming was `16062 and it was less than conventional farming (13.10%) and organic farming (14.94%). The net return was highest in conventional farming and was higher than organic (12.77%) and natural farming (19.92%). The study suggests policy measures such as research and development activities should be focus more towards sustainable crop variety and technology to improve the yields under natural farming. There is a need of government policy support for certification and setting premium minimum support price for natural products in order to encourage the farmers for natural farming.

A morphological analysis of Sukuma place names: A case of primary school names in Shinyanga, Tanzania
Authors: Shigini Peter Gonga
Published: October 2023

Place names are vital language forms as they are entrenched with data about their ethnic origins. They are crucial linguistic, historical, geographical, and socio-cultural data sources. A growing body of evidence suggests that place names have been studied mainly from a semantic standpoint. Studies focusing on the morphological analysis of place names are limited. This denies onomasticians access to knowledge regarding the structures and processes forming place names in many languages. This paper examines the morphological aspects of Sukuma place names, mainly names of primary schools in Shinyanga Rural District, Shinyanga Region, Tanzania, to uncover their underlying structural patterns and the word-formation processes. The data for this study were 125 names of primary schools found in the Shinyanga Rural District, collected through the documentary review method. The collected names were subjected to morphological analysis by decomposing them into constituent morphemes to establish their structures and word formation processes. The findings indicate that Sukuma place names minimally consist of a noun or verb stem, though most are composed of a prefix and a noun or verb stem. The study further establishes that Sukuma speakers use inflection, derivation, and compounding strategies to form place names. The results of this study support the view that names, like other words in a language, have elaborate linguistic structures that can be analysed morphologically. It is concluded that the structure of place names is as significant as the motivational factors for place naming in determining or contributing to the meaning of a place name.

Effect of Heavy Metal Pollution on Invertebrates
Authors: Ghannem Samir , Daouadi Sonia , Touaylia Samir
Published: October 2023

Metal pollutants are widespread in air, soil and water causing a decline in invertebrates worldwide. The increase of environmental pollution by heavy metals has a negative impact to organisms and influence their diversity, distribution, physiology and behavior. Contrary to other pollutants, metals are non-degradable and can potentially bio-accumulate and be biomagnified in the trophic chain. Because soil invertebrates tend to be strongly affected by environmental disturbances, high concentrations of these metals can become hazardous to invertebrates. Noxious effects can affect all biological levels, and toxins affect all ecological interactions. In this brief chapter, we have tried to develop a comprehensive understanding of the influence of metal contamination on ecosystem disturbance. We give examples of studies on the effects of pollutants on invertebrates.
Constructing New City Downtowns: A Solution for Preserving the Historical Urban Heritage
Authors: Hajialikhani Mohammadreza
Published: October 2023

Historic city centers usually include historic buildings and sites. As the size and the population of the cities increase, the price of land and real estates in the cities and, respectively, in the downtowns increases. This results in more demand for commercial buildings in city downtowns. In cities with historical and heritage urban areas, the mentioned demand may result in the demolition of heritage historical urban to be substituted by new modern buildings. A solution to this problem is constructing new city downtowns in unused, secluded, or abandoned lands or areas as regeneration megaprojects, which has been implemented in many cities worldwide during the last three centuries. But this solution also faces different challenges and needs specific arrangements. By reviewing lessons learned from some of the worldwide urban regeneration projects, this paper discusses the proposed arrangements to increase the chance of success in the mentioned megaprojects and summarizes them in three main categories as, proper planning and execution, proper institutional arrangements, and public-private cooperation.
Biological Treatment of Heavy Metals with Algae
Authors: Mohammadi Ahmad , Mahmoudnia Fahimeh
Published: October 2023

The development of industrial activities has caused an increase in the production of various water pollutants, of which heavy metals are among the most important due to their toxicity and harmful environmental effects. Bioabsorption is a promising and environmentally friendly technology, which has been widely used in various wastewater treatment applications in recent years. Among the bioabsorbents, algae are particularly important due to their high absorption efficiency, availability, and cost-effectiveness. In this chapter, the advantages of using algae and their use as biosorbents for removing heavy metals such as copper, aluminum, cadmium, zinc, mercury, chromium, nickel, and lead from aqueous solutions have been investigated. The effect of various factors, including factors related to biomass and process conditions (solution pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature, and initial concentration of heavy metal ions) has been evaluated. Also, the mechanisms of biological absorption of heavy metal ions in algae have been analyzed. Numerous studies show that algae are effective and economic bioabsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater, and due to their predictability with simple equilibrium and kinetic mathematical equations, they are suitable for large-scale applications in continuous processes.

Authors: Omeragić Jasmin , Alagić Davor , Šerić-Haračić Sabina , Kapo Naida
Published: October 2023

Taenia saginata, Taenia solium, and Taenia asiatica popularly known as beef, pork, and Asian tapeworm, are important food-borne parasites. Human taeniosis occurs as a zoonotic consequence of consumption of raw or under-cooked meat contaminated by viable larvae of T. saginata (Cysticercus bovis), T. solium (Cysticercus cellulosae) and T. asiatica (Cysticercus viscerotropica) and further development of their adult forms in human intestines. T. solium is highly endemic in pork-consuming poor communities of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, T. asiatica is restricted to Asia and is mainly confirmed in South Korea, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Thailand, while T. saginata is distributed worldwide. Tapeworms cause cysticercosis in pigs and cattle (intermediate hosts) and taeniosis in humans (definitive host). Cysticercosis can also affect people who unintentionally swallow T. solium eggs—contaminated soil, water, or food (mainly vegetables) or through self-infection or person-to-person transmission when hygiene practices are insufficient. In humans, human cysticercosis or neurocysticercosis is frequently caused by cysticerci that establish in the central nervous system. Given the effect of T. solium on public health and the potential negative effects of T. saginata and T. asiatica on the economy and trade, defining risk factors, reporting of taeniosis and human cysticercosis is crucial, and surveillance and notification methods in animals should be strengthened.

Cardioversion
Authors: Demir Mevlut
Published: October 2023

Cardioversion (CV) is a procedure consisting of 2 different applications, electrical or medical, performed to provide normal sinus rhythm in arrhythmic events. Electrical cardioversion is the preferred direct current-mediated treatment for arrhythmia without sinus rhythm when there is no response to pharmacological therapy or hemodynamic instability due to tachycardia. The difference between defibrillation and electrical cardioversion; in electrical cardioversion, direct current is given on the R or S wave in the QRS by synchronizing with electrocardiography, and in defibrillation, it is given at any moment of the cardiac cycle. Atrial fibrillation and flutter are the most common arrhythmias in which cardioversion is used. Electrical cardioversion should not be performed in patients with ventricular fibrillation, pulseless ventricular tachycardia and digital poisoning. After cardioversion, temporary ST segment elevations, thromboembolism, ventricular fibrillation, short-term bradycardia/asystole, hypotension, pulmonary edema and elevation of cardiac enzymes that do not constitute clinical significance can be observed.

Olive (Olea europeae L.) is one of the most important fruit trees of the Mediterranean regions. Biotic factors such as phytopathogenic diseases have a significant negative impact on olive productivity in the Mediterranean Basin including Algeria. Currently, phytopathogens management is focus mainly on the use of chemical pesticides which is not recommended because it leads to environmental pollution, development of chemical resistance, and its low cost-efficiency. Eco-friendly methods and alternative disease control measures such as the use of biocontrol agents and biofertilizer should be opted as alternatives to the use of synthetic chemicals. Trichoderma species associated with olive roots are known for their ability to produce antimicrobial compounds, such as antibiotics, volatile organic compounds and lytic enzymes that restrict phytopathogenic strain growth. Besides, they are considered as plant growth promoting fungi (PGPF). This genus colonize the root systems of plants and promote their growth; it can increase nutrient availability and uptake in plants by fixing nitrogen, solubilizing phosphorus, producing several biomolecules and phytohormones. Moreover, it helps plants tolerate environmental stresses such as drought, salinity and diseases. In this work, we review pionnering and recent developments on several important biomolecules and functions that Trichoderma species isolated from olive rhizosphere soil exhibit to enhance plant growth and control phytopathogen diseases. Therefore, the use of highly competitive strains in open field in order to obtain consistent and better results in agricultural production activities.

Authors: Ziem Manson Ernest , K. Gikunju Joseph , Cleophas Kyama Mutinda
Published: October 2023

Snakebite envenoming normally occurs as a result of the injection of venom following the bite of a venomous snake or the spraying of venom into a person’s eyes by snake species that are capable of spitting venom as a defense mechanism. According to World Health Organization, snakebite is considered to have high mortality among the neglected tropical diseases. The administration of toxin-specific therapy in snake envenoming is predicated on improving diagnostic techniques capable of detecting specific venom toxins. Various serological tests have been used in detecting snakebite envenoming. Comparatively, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been shown to offer a wider practical application. On the other hand, the unavailability of effective antivenoms to treat snake envenoming has created a critical health need at global level. It has been reported that antivenom immunotherapy is the treatment of choice for snakebites. The generation of toxin-specific antibodies would lead to an increase in the dose efficacy of antivenoms and consequently reduce the risk of early anaphylactoid and late serum reactions that typify the administration of large volumes of horse and sheep-derived antivenoms. The aim of this chapter is to explore and discuss diagnostic and antivenom immunotherapeutic approaches to the management of snakebite envenoming.
