Nitrogen fertigation for nectarines (Prunus persica var nucipersica): Lateral and vertical nutrient acquisition and cropping behavior in rainfed agroecosystem
Authors: SINGH DEEPIKA , SHARMA SOM DEV , KUMAR PRAMOD
Published: July 2023

The present investigation was planned and focused with the objective to compare the effect of nitrogen (N) fertigation and conventional soil fertilization on growth and nutrient dynamics for the establishment of Snow Queen nectarines (Prunus persica var. nucipersica). We determined if the frequency of application of fertigation that could modify cropping behavior of the plantations in integrated horticultural based cropping system under rainfed ecosystem. In the experiment, all plants received the same amount of water with sufficient fertilizer N but the treatment included four fertigation frequencies applied weekly intervals of the recommended dose (RD) of N fertilizers over conventional soil fertilization scheduled at 25% (25% RD-N fertigation), 50% (50% RD-N fertigation), 75% (75% RD-N fertigation) and 100% (100% RD-N fertigation) in the Randomized Block Design replicated thrice. The availability of nutrients at root zone of the trees significantly influenced vegetative growth attributes, the uptake of macro- and micronutrient cations and fruit quality characteristics. Given the fact that all treatments applied with adequate and equal amount of fertilizer and water, however, 75% RD-N fertigation frequency had significantly affected cropping behavior and uptake efficiency both vertically as well as horizontally. The N availability steadily increased with increased depth up to 30 cm after that declined in all the distances at fertigation with 75% RD-N. Highest available P and K in soil was confined to 0-15 cm of soil layer under all fertigation levels and decreased with increase in distance from the emitters and soil depth. With regards to exchangeable Ca and Mg, the contents were decreased in the surface soil than in the subsoil. This superior application also recorded improved vertical and horizontal distribution of available macro- and micronutrient cations in soil, leaf nutrient concentration and fruit quality attributes for growth parameters and fruit quality characteristics which in turn saved 25% of the inorganic fertilizers application.

Field experiment was conducted for three consecutive years (2008-09 to 2010-11) to study the effect of seed priming with IBA, GA3, kinetin and salicylic acid separately on germination, growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under salt-affected soils at Directorate of Seed Research, Mau. Seeds primed @100 ppm with IBA, GA3, kinetin and salicylic acid separately for 12 hr significantly enhanced the seed germination (18-26%), seedling dry weight (25-72%), vigour index (32-116%), plant height (4-8.4%), number of tillers (2-14.6%), total dry matter (3-11%), number of grains (13-18%) and finally test weight (5.3-6.1%) and grain yield (2-14%) over unprimed control in variety HUW 234. Among the treatments, kinetin showed maximum values as well as percent improvement over control in almost all the characters studied followed by GA3, IBA and salicylic acid. Improvement observed through seed priming indirectly reflects role of growth regulators in amelioration of salt stress.

Published: July 2023

Integrated nutrient combination comprising NPK sources from organic manures (FYM and vermicompost) and inorganic sources along with mulching (leaf mould and black polyethylene) were applied on apple (Malus domestica Borkh) cv. Starkrimson planted on high density system. The objective was to supplement NPK requirement by applying sufficient quantity of organic manures, thereby, minimizing the inorganic fertilizer requirement. Better result was obtained in treatment comprising leaf mould mulch and integrated nutrients: 50 kg/tree FYM + 10 kg/tree vermicompost + 50 g/tree N + 75 g/tree P2O5 + 250 g/tree K2O in 5th year; 60 kg/tree FYM + 13 kg/tree vermicompost + 30 g/tree N + 80 g/tree P2O5 + 225 g/tree K2O in 6th year; 70 kg/tree FYM + 16 kg/tree vermicompost + 10 g/tree N + 85 g/tree P2O5 + 250 g/tree K2O in 7th year and 70 kg/tree FYM + 19 kg/tree vermicompost + 165 g/tree N + 178 g/tree P2O5 + 548 g/tree K2O in both 8th and 9th year. In the 8th and 9th year, this treatment resulted comparatively higher fruit yield (31.8 and 30.6 kg/tree, respectively) and productivity (50.8 and 53.3 MT/ha, respectively) with fruit weight 200.4 and 202.4 g and diameter 8.4 and 8.2 cm, respectively. Whereas, in recommended dose, in 8th and 9th year, 27.6 and 25.6 kg/tree yield and 44.2 and 40.9 MT/ha productivity were recorded, respectively. Reduction of FYM quantity by 50% and increasing the vermicompost dose also supplemented considerable amount of NPK requirement from inorganic sources and resulted better plant growth and yield.

Published: July 2023

Pusa Basmati 1121, a high-yielding aromatic rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety released by ICAR-IARI in 2005, became widely popular among farmers of Punjab, Western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana in India due to higher yield and good price in the market. But, soon after its release, the variety was severely affected by bakanae foot rot disease (Fusarium fujikuroi). The ICAR-National Research Centre for Integrated Pest Management (NCIPM) synthesized an integrated pest management (IPM) module and validated it in large-scale at Bambawad village (District Gautam Budh Nagar, UP) in farmers’ participatory mode during 2010-14. The trial was initiated on 40 ha in 2010, which was gradually increased to 80, 120, 200 and 286 ha during 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The IPM module involved green manuring, seed treatment with carbendazim, seedling root dipping in Pseudomonas fluorescens, pest monitoring and need-based application of bioagents/ pesticides. Implementation of the module resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of bakanae ranging from 0.05±0.01 to 10.18±4.05% in IPM fields against 1.22±0.27 to 46.5±6.30% in Farmers’ practices (FP). Brown plant hopper (Nilaparvata lugens) population (average of the season) remained 7.74, 9.55, 1.22, 4.32 and 0.49 nymphs and adults/hill in IPM against 31.13, 14.16, 1.36, 7.24 and 0.82 in FP fields during 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Regular pest monitoring and ETL-based application of pesticides in IPM helped in conservation of spider population in IPM as compared to FP with very low application of chemical pesticides, i.e. 103.2 g a.i./ha in IPM against 1214.4 g a.i./ha in FP. Analysis of rice grain samples for pesticide residue indicated carbendazim below detectable level. IPM trial also resulted in higher yield (36.01 q/ha in IPM against 26.24 q/ha in FP) and benefit- cost ratio (3.80 in IPM and 2.56 in FP) as compared to FP (Average of five years).

Published: July 2023

The difficulty prone and disadvantageous areas of the country, generally being untouched and unreached in terms of efficient execution of agricultural development programmes and policy measures, the frontline extension set-up is expected to be effective enough to voice and take over development issues of the inhabitant peasants. Concurrent to the concern, the present study aimed at a functionary level performance appraisal of the frontline extension system in north eastern region of India with a sample size of 231 Subject Matter Specialists (SMSs) from 59 Krishi VigyanKendras (KVKs) across the eight north eastern states. A principal component analysis based Composite Job Performance Index (CJPI) was developed to measure performance of the respondent SMSs in different job areas. The study revealed that the human resource development and organizational development intervention for harnessing optimum performance of the SMSs require immediate emphasis. The overall performance in the area of field crop production and improvement was the best among the seven thrust areas identified under the study, although performance in extension and communication modelling generated real concern as per the CJPI. A regression analysis depicted that gender, physical facilities, support and professional mentorship received from the host institute, and participation in knowledge sharing forums had significant association with job performance. Timely and adequately funding the KVKs for infrastructure development is crucial along with wilful self-updating and self-development on the part of the functionaries for harnessing optimum individual performance and thereby overall functioning of the frontline extension system.

Authors: SINGH V K , SINGH KAMINI , SAXENA POOJA
Published: July 2023

Lycopene content as well as colour are the most important factors in the visual and nutraceutical quality of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and these factors are affected by temperature and light in different condition. In the present study color development in terms of chromaticity value (L, a, b and a/b) and lycopene accumulation in tomato fruits cv. Naveen known for virus resistant with prolific bearing, was assessed independently at different maturity stages, viz. breaking, turning, pinkish, red and red ripe, grown in greenhouse and compared with the fruits grown in open condition. The data on light and temperature were recorded periodically throughout the experimental period. The lycopene content (0.779±0.008 mg/FW) and chromacity value (a/b 0.908) were maximum in red ripe tomato fruits harvested from greenhouse as compared to open condition (0.099±0.006 mg/FW and 0.612 , respectively) . The direct relationships between chromaticity value and lycopene concentration at different stages was obtained. Thus the assessment of chromaticity value can be used as a nondestructive method to envisage the lycopene content in tomato fruits.

(Re-)Forging the Science of Bayān
Authors: Najafi Mostafa
Published: July 2023

ʿAbd al-Qāhir al-Ǧurǧānī took center stage in the field of bayān (called as well balāġa) during the first half of the twentieth century thanks, above all, to the efforts of Muḥammad ʿAbduh and Hellmut Ritter. As similar as they are in their approach, ʿAbduh and Ritter came to represent two mutually dismissive scholarly traditions with respect to Ǧurǧānī and the science of bayān. These two apparently divergent traditions, wittingly or unwittingly, contributed to forging one and the same image of Ǧurǧānī and bayān. As I attempt to show in this paper, this image that still prevails in the scholarly discourse was built under the shadow of falsafa.

Studies were conducted from 2017 to 2021 at nine locations across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee to evaluate efficacy, residual control, and effective chemical concentrations of commonly used insecticides targeting tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), nymphs in Mid-South cotton. Foliar applications of imidacloprid, flonicamid, thiamethoxam, oxamyl, dicrotophos, acephate, novaluron, and sulfoxaflor were applied at locally recommended rates. Plots were sampled for nymphs at 4, 7, and 10 d after treatments (DAT), and leaves were analyzed for concentration of active ingredients from plots located in one site in 2021 at 4, 7, 10, and 14 DAT. Across all sampling dates, insecticide treatments reduced nymph infestations compared to untreated control, except for imidacloprid at 10 DAT. All insecticide treatments resulted in higher lint yields compared to untreated control. Overall, sulfoxaflor, novaluron, and acephate offered the best control of nymphs and provided the greatest yield protection among treatments. Moderate control was achieved with thiamethoxam, oxamyl, and dicrotophos. Imidacloprid and flonicamid resulted in less control. Concentrations of flonicamid, thiamethoxam, dicrotophos, acephate, and novaluron persisted up to 14 DAT in leaves. Imidacloprid and oxamyl were not detected at 7, 10, or 14 DAT, and sulfoxaflor was not detected at 14 DAT in leaves. In these studies, control of tarnished plant bug nymphs never exceeded 75% regardless of insecticide or sampling date. The moderate efficacy and short residual control shown in these studies explain why multiple insecticide applications within short intervals are needed to manage heavy tarnished plant bug populations

Published: July 2023

Context: Marine organisms are sources of compounds with anti-inflammatory activity, many of them derived from the secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms. Aims: To evaluate the possible anti-inflammatory effect of M116, an extract obtained by fermentation from the CBM-116 strain of the marine bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which was isolated from sediments of the southern coast of the Cuban shelf. Methods: The oral single and repeated different doses of the CBM-116 were evaluated for their ability to ameliorate edema using two in vivo experimental inflammation models: croton oil-induced atrial acute edema and cotton pellets-induced chronic granuloma, both in male Balb/c mice. The systemic production of redox biomarkers after repeated doses in the chronic inflammation model was also tested. Results: A single application of M116 (50-200 mg/kg, 10 mL/kg, p.o.) decreases croton oil-induced acute inflammation in a dose-dependent manner. Single and repeated doses of extract (100-400 mg/kg, p.o.) also were able to inhibit chronic inflammation during both, transudative and proliferative phases of the inflammatory process. This effect was associated with the systemic reduction of oxidative stress. Conclusions: M116 showed anti-inflammatory activity in the context of acute and chronic inflammation associated with its antioxidant mechanisms, which suggest the potential of the marine bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens as a source of new products with biomedical application.

The African breadfruit, Treculia africana, has immense nutritional potential. This tree is a wild tropical evergreen that can grow in various regions. The objective of this study was to determine the mineral and vitamin properties of this fruit. Treculia africana fruits samples were purchased Nkwogbe market Ihiala, Anambra state. They were transported to Alpha research laboratory Awka, Anambra state. The analysis were conducted using the standard procedure. The result showed that the seeds contained the following: 8.00% moisture, 13.00% fats and oil, 11.00% ash, 20.00% crude fibre, 9.60% protein, 38.39% carbohydrate. The carbohydrate contents in it were much higher while moisture content was the lowest in parameters studied. The seeds further contained considerable amounts of minerals and vitamins as follows: 273.74mg/100g of calcium, 105.56mg/100g of magnesium, 26.70mg/100g of phosphorus, 18.00mg/100g of potassium, 7.10mg/100g of iron, 8.47mg/100g of zinc, 10.10mg/100g of copper, 15.50mg/100g of sodium, 0.53mg/100g of vitamin C, 0.08mg/100g of vitamin A, 8.00mg/100g of vitamin E, 0.75mg/100g of vitamin D. African breadfruit showed highest phosphorus content while Vitamin D was the lowest in the parameter studied. The results therefore demonstrate that African breadfruit could serve as supplementary source of essential nutrients for humans with health benefits.

Seven treatments based on various priming techniques (hydropriming+ priming with moringa leaf extract) and different compositions of pelleting materials (gum arabic+bentonite + moringa leaf powder) were used to evaluate the germination and growth behavior of Cock’s comb (Celosia cristata L.). The experiment was laid out according to Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and the difference among treatment means were compared by using Tuckey’s test at 5% probability level. Data regarding various parameters like time to taken first germination, time to taken 50% germination, mean germination time, final germination percentage, germination energy, germination index, vigor index, root length, shoot length, root to shoot ratio, seedlings fresh weight and seedlings dry weight was recorded. Time to take first germination (3.25days), root length (3.27cm), vigor index (22.00), germination energy (8.75%),Time to take 50% germination (8.25), height of seedling (5.27cm) and number of leaves (9.00 count) were recorded maximum in T3 (Priming with 3% moringa leaf solution treatment) whereas final germination percentage (20.50%), germination index (3.55), shoot length (4.10cm), seedling fresh (4.85g) and dry weight (1.58g) were reported maximum in T5 (coating with 75% Bentonite + 50% Gum Arabic treatment). Control treatment showed minimum results in this experiment, So it can be concluded that seed priming and seed palleting both are highly effective to enhance uniform and rapid seed germination and growth quality in Cock’s comb. Such studies on priming and pelleting will be productive to enhance the rate of seedling emergence, to harmonize uniform flower growth along with flourishing developmental attributes even under extreme climatic conditions and in problematic soils. This investigation will also be helpful to synchronize seed germination and improve vigor at commercial level leading towards better crop establishment and yield.

The genotypes investigated had a lot of variance in all of the morphological features, according to the analysis of genotype variability. The most significant variance was found in biomass, followed by the number of primary branches and umbels per plant. The number of days to maturity and the number of days to 50% flowering showed the least variation. The coefficients of variation, as well as the signs used for metroglyph, are included in the range of variability. The results of the investigation revealed that the index scores ranged from 12 to 27. The genotype clusters of similarity were identified by plotting the distribution of index scores. A total of 128 genotypes were grouped into four primary clusters. The cluster identity was also discovered by analysing the clusters for contributory qualities for the index scores. Major contributory features for each cluster's index scores. Anderson's metroglyph is a technique for grouping genotypes that is reasonably straightforward.

Az erózió és a domborzat kapcsolata szántóföldön, a tolerálható talajveszteség tükrében

Published: July 2023

A talajerózió a recens lejtőformálódás meghatározó folyamata.Afolyamat meredek szántóföldeken különösen gyorsan változtathatja meg a mikrodomborzatot. A lejtő pusztuló részén a lefolyó víz egyaránt magával ragadja a felszínen található részecskéket, származzanak azok egy talajszelvény humuszos rétegéből, vagy akár nyers löszből. A szállított hordalék egy része azután még ugyanazon lejtő épülő részén lerakódik, míg más része távolabbra kerülve akár az élővizeket is elérheti. Vizsgálataink során arra kerestük a választ, hogy egy Külső-Somogyi szántón miként változott meg az eredetileg homogénnek tekintett talajvastagság, illetve a változások hogy kapcsolódnak a mikrodomborzathoz. A vizsgált táblán belül jelentős eltérések vannak a talajvastagság értékek és ebből fakadóan a talajtípusok között is. Egyes földes kopár foltokról minimum 100 cm talaj pusztult le mintegy 170 év alatt, néhány méterrel odébb 150 cm-es a humuszos réteg található. Az ennyire mozaikos területen a tolerálható talajveszteség fogalma átlagosan nem, csak a homogén egységekre vetítve értelmezhető. Feltételezésünk szerint a terület felszínfejlődésében a periodicitás játszhat meghatározó szerepet. Átlagos körülmények között a dellék két oldaláról felületi rétegerózió útján pusztul le a feltalaj de a hordalék nagy része csak a delle aljáig jut ahol lecsökken a lejtés. Extrém intenzitású és mennyiségű csapadékesemények alkalmával az összegyülekező nagymennyiségű felszíni lefolyás mélyen bevág a csekélyebb lejtésű szakaszokon is és kitisztítja az addig ott lerakódott feltalajt. Vizsgálataink szerint nagyságrendileg a megmozdított talaj harmada hagyja el a területet. E folyamatok a nagyobb időléptékű glaciális (areális erózió) és interglaciális (lineáris erózió) szakaszokban jellemző talajpusztulás analógiájára játszódhatnak le.

Vizsgálatainkban 1, 3, 5 és 10 éve telepítetett, extenzíven kezelt lucernások szekunder szukcesszióját tanulmányoztuk a Hortobágy Nemzeti Park területén. Vizsgálatainkban az alábbi kérdésekre kerestük a választ: (1) A telepítést követően, extenzív művelés esetén milyen gyorsan tűnik el a takarmánylucerna a vegetációból? (2) Miben tér el a lucernások spontán vegetációfejlődése a rövid életű kultúrák felhagyását követő szukcessziótól? (3) Milyen gyors a szikes és löszgyepek spontán regenerációja lucernások helyén? Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy a lucerna mennyisége a három évesnél idősebb lucernásokban alacsony volt. A tíz éves állományok vegetációjából szinte teljesen eltűnt. Eltérően a rövid életű kultúrák felhagyását követő vegetációfejlődéstől, az extenzíven kezelt lucernásokban zajló szekunder szukcesszió során nem tapasztaltunk gyomok dominálta stádiumot. A lucernát az idősebb állományok vegetációjában évelő füvek váltották fel, közben a diverzitás folyamatos növekedését tapasztaltuk. Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy a fajszegény társulások (füves szikes puszta, ecsetpázsitos sziki rét) regenerációja már 5-10 év alatt bekövetkezhet. Bár számos lösz- és szikes gyepekre jellemző kísérőfaj spontán betelepülését tapasztaltuk, természetközeli állapotú gyepek kialakulása vizsgálatunk időtávlatánál hosszabb folyamat.
A világ természetvédelmének története 1961 és 1965 között (védett területek alapítása)

A védett területek alapításának történetét az 1961 és 1965 között eltelt öt év áttekintésével folytatjuk. A cikkben közölt minden adat az IUCN kategóriarendszerébe sorolt védett területekre vonatkozik. Az IUCN adatbázisa szerint a legtöbb területet az NSZK alapította, amelyekből 210 természeti rezervátum, 195 tájvédelmi terület és 19 természeti park volt. A területek többsége a IV-es IUCN kategóriába tartozik, de 122 különböző nemzeti kategóriával is találkozhatunk a kijelölt területek között. A területnagyságok többsége a legkisebb kategóriába tartozott (0–99 ha). Magyarországról a vizsgált periódusban csak 2 védett természeti terület került fel az IUCN listájára, melyek mindegyike a természetvédelmi terület kategóriába tartozik. Megállapíthatjuk, hogy az előző öt évhez képest 1961 és 1965 között ismét növekedett az alapított védett területek száma, míg 1956-tól 1960-ig 1553, addig 1961 és 1965 között 1864 védett területet hoztak létre.
El autoconcepto y su relación con el rendimiento escolar. Estudio realizado en bachillerato como medio para reforzar la práctica docente en el paradigma humanista
Authors: Martínez Soto Alma Flor , Emynick Cervantes Clara
Published: July 2023

La práctica docente implica más que la transmisión de conocimientos y formación de conductas que le sirvan al individuo para desarrollarse social, intelectual y profesionalmente. La tarea del profesor debe encaminarse a comprometerse a formar de manera integral a los estudiantes, dotándolos de habilidades útiles para su vida, en este sentido la formación humanística es sumamente relevante para los alumnos, ya que el maestro es un referente en su formación. La presente investigación es de enfoque mixto e indaga sobre la relación que existe entre el autoconcepto y el rendimiento escolar. Se aplicó en una escuela pública de nivel bachillerato en primer grado con alumnos de 14 y 15 años, los hallazgos permitieron dar orientaciones sobre la importancia de la formación del maestro respecto al campo humanístico y socioemocional en el aula.

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las causas más relevantes que impiden el desarrollo sostenible y los conflictos mineros en la Región Cajamarca. Para el estudio se realizó el análisis documental del desarrollo sostenible como los conflictos medioambientales que ha traído la minería y que son el eje transversal del problema. Se encuentra que entre los principales problemas que causan la conflictividad, están la expropiación de terrenos a los propietarios, la desigualdad económica que trae pobreza y falta de empleo, la contaminación medioambiental por la actividad minera que afecta el agua de las zonas contiguas a la mina, la falta de políticas de mitigación y problemas institucionales donde han intervenido autoridades locales y regionales. Del estudio se puede concluir que, la región con mayor canon minero, existe poco desarrollo, no solo por la poca inversión de la mina, sino por la poca capacidad de ejecución que tienen sus autoridades regionales, quienes no usan los recursos para mitigar el efecto de la contaminación de la minería, y están haciendo estéril el desarrollo sostenible, para asegurar la subsistencia de las futuras generaciones.

8 - “University is ISO 9000:2008 Certified”: Neoliberal Echoes, Knowledge Production and Quality Assurance in Kenyan State Universities
Authors: Ishmael I. Munene
Published: July 2023

In Africa, Quality Assurance (QA) in universities has acquired a sense of urgency owing to the rapid growth of the university sector in the last two decades. The adoption of neoliberal tenets in the development of universities has witnessed the surge in student numbers and types of degree-granting institutions. The decline in budgetary support for higher education, evident in average per-student expenditure decline from US $6,300 to $1,500 by 1990, rising student enrolments coupled with inadequate and outdated teaching and learning resources, alongside massive staff exodus as well as poor governance have raised troubling questions about the quality of education provided. The rising concerns about the quality of the institutions and the graduates have catalyzed national educational authorities and individual institutions to institute quality assurance strategies in order to enhance the quality of education provide. This paper looks at how neoliberalism has undermined faculty validation of learning within the context of QA. Faculty exclusion in knowledge validation via QA is examined from the following themes: national accreditation, ISO certification, internal QA units, internships & attachments, and the deployment of information communication technologies. It is apparent that the development of universities along the neoliberal paradigm has eroded faculty prerogatives in QA as market ideals have triumphed over academic principles.
4 - Revitalising Higher Education for Africa’s Future
Authors: Ebrima Sall  , Ibrahim Oanda
Published: July 2023

Over the last two decades, funding pressures have forced reforms in the legal framework of public universities in Africa. ‘Acts of Parliament’ and strong government direct control that dominated governance regimes of higher education institutions have given way to broad-based councils with wide representation in university governance organs. The strong emergence of private higher education institutions in the continent has led to the development of alternative forms of institutional management different from those that previously dominated in public institutions. But most of these reforms have resulted in new governance concerns revolving around financing and management, quality of teaching and research, and institutional autonomy. Prompted by the implications of these new concerns, guided by a strong belief that governance frameworks should respect institutional autonomy and institutional management, and that tenets of shared governance are critical to building quality higher education systems in Africa, CODESRIA launched a number of research networks to document governance reforms so far undertaken and to determine how they are reshaping the mission of higher education institutions on the continent. This article provides a synthesis of the findings emerging from the various research networks.
