Published: October 2022

Traditionally, defluffing (separation of nucleus seeds from fluffy seed) of dinanath grass seeds (Pennisetum pedicellatum) is cumbersome and time consuming. Hence, a defluffing machine consisting of feeding chute, feed rollers, serrated cylinder assembly, grading unit and power transmission unit was developed considering the physical properties of the dinanath seed and evaluated its performance at ICAR-Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute, Jhansi (2019). The mean values of seed dimensions (length × width × thickness) for fluffy seed and nucleus seed were computed as 6.20×2.77×1.83 mm3 and 2.44×0.82×0.58 mm3 respectively. The average bulk densities of fluffy and nucleus seeds were 7.65 kg/m3 and 613.63 kg/m3 respectively. The optimum machine performance like defluffing capacity (4.9 kg/h), defluffing efficiency (92.1%) and nucleus seed recovery (22.82%) were found at 7 % moisture content and 545 rpm of serrated cylinder speed about 76 % processing cost saving using the machine could be done as compared to traditional manual defluffing. Drastic reduction (99.7%) in volume of fluffy seed was achieved after defluffing.

The present study was aimed to assess the general combining ability of parents and specific combining ability of their crosses for yield and yield related traits. Nine inbred lines were crossed with two testers using line × tester mating design. Nine lines, two testers and 18 experimental hybrids were evaluated along with two checks in this study for grain yield and protein content, besides kernel micronutrients (phosphorous, caicium and iron) during kharif 2019 in a randomized block design at experimental farm of BAC, Sabour. The line CLQRCY44 and HKI1532 were found as good general combiner for grain yield and quality traits followed by DHOLI inbred 55 and CLO2450. Lines DHOLI inbred 55 and CML451 were found as good general combiner for earliness, lines CLQRCY44, CLO2450 and DHOLI 55 for quality traits like protein content, calcium content, phosphorous and iron content. Among the crosses, HKI1532 × 95IOWA (67.43 q/ha), LM13 × SUWAN (65.87 q/ha) and CML425 × SUWAN (63.30 q/ha) were the promising crosses for grain yield. CLO2450 × SUWAN and LM13 × SUWAN exhibited highly significant and desirable SCA effects for grain yield. CLO2450 × 95IOWA exhibited highly significant and desirable SCA effects for protein content. HKI1532 × 95IOWA (67.43 q/ha) was the promising hybrid for grain yield and micronutrient content. Therefore, these crosses can be utilized for developing high yielding micronutrient enriched hybrid varieties in maize (Zea mays L).

Authors: SINGH PRAVEEN
Published: October 2022

The present experiment was undertaken during kharif 2017 and 2018 at two locations (Jammu and Kathua) and consisted of nine hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes of diverse origin. The highest grain yield per ha was observed for PAC 807 followed by Sava 200 and PHB 71 based on pooled mean data over the environments. The highest genetic advance were observed for panicle per m2 (9.35), whereas the highest genetic advance as percent of mean was observed for days to flowering (6.15). Genetic divergence study revealed that all the nine hybrid rice genotypes were grouped into three clusters. Cluster II had the largest number of genotypes (5), although they were originated from different sources. Cluster I had three genotypes, whereas cluster III was a single genotype cluster. There was good amount of diversity present in hybrid genotypes with maximum diverse genotypes of PHB 71, BS 008 and BS 1294. Environment III and IV were highly interactive and showed higher mean grain yield for favourable and unfavourable conditions. Environment I (Jammu-2017) showed very less interaction and can be considered as ideal for cultivation of hybrid rice genotypes under study. The hybrid BS 008 and Sava 200 found as a genetically diverse hybrid with stable below average mean performance for grain yield and can be identified as stable genotype under varying conditions of these north western Himalayan foot hill regions of Jammu and Kashmir.

Published: October 2022

The present study was conducted to assess the in-season dynamics of nitrogen (N) in an Inceptisol under long-term fertilizer management in rice (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The treatments comprised combination of chemical fertilizers (100% NPK and 150% NPK) and organic manures (100% NPK+FYM, 100% NPK+GM and 100% NPK+SI) along with unfertilized control laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Soil samples were collected at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after transplanting/sowing and at harvest of rice and wheat, respectively and analysed for available N, ammonical N, nitrate N and total N. Plant samples were also collected at corresponding time period to determine the N content, uptake and biomass. Application of 100% NPK+FYM had significantly higher contents of different N forms during growth of both rice and wheat compared to rest of the treatments. At harvest of rice, combined use of 100% NPK and FYM improved soil available N and total N over 100% NPK by 20 and 22%; respectively. Whereas at wheat harvest; the increase in available and total N amounted to 29 and 23%, respectively due to corresponding treatments. The gradual decrease in N forms was observed till crop harvest. The grain and straw yield, content and total uptake of N by rice and wheat increased significantly under the integrated fertilizer management. Integrated nutrient management practice improved the relative proportion of plant-available N forms and achieved higher rice-wheat productivity.

Published: October 2022

Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern & Coss.] is traditionally sown either by broadcasting or with ordinary wheat seed drill having drawbacks of high seed rate, seed breakage, less seed germination, uneven and dense plant population resulting into low seed yield. A Mustard Planter was developed and evaluated at research station as well as farmers' field against wheat seed drill (farmer's practice) during 2016-18 to vanquish the pre-taxed constraints in Indian mustard. Results showed significant improvement in branches per plant, girth of basal node, leaf area index (LAI), relative water content (RWC), seed yield, harvest index, test weight and accrued higher benefit margin in the station trials. Farmer's field trials also recorded optimum plant population, higher plant height, branches per plant and stem girth. Mustard Planter sown crop recorded more seed yield (+9-22%), harvest index (+11.7%), Test weight (+13.6%), net return (+13.3-30.6%) and B/C ratio (+16%) in the station as well as farmer's field trials. The fields sown with Mustard Planter also conserved soil moisture (>100%) over wheat seed drill in 0-60 cm soil depth during the crop mid-season. The results endorsed that the Mustard Planter is an efficient seeding machine for sowing of rapeseed-mustard in the rainfed situation and may be recommended for its wider adaptability in the region for the benefit of the farmers.

Published: October 2022

The performance of pedal operated paddy thresher was evaluated in the field. During threshing operation the optimum speed of threshing drum 290-310 rpm was achieved by 21 strokes. The paddy was threshed at a moisture content of 18.45%. The threshing efficiency of the thresher was found up to 99%. The optimum paddy holding capacity achieved was 0.5 kg, 1 kg and 0.75 kg. The optimum foot pedal size was 14.35 cm. The optimum threshing cylinder height was 101.25 cm. Threshing efficiency in solar mode was found as 99.58-98.67% compared to 98.54-97.01% for pedal. The threshing rate in solar mode was achieved as 231.67 kg/h as compared to 66.63 kg/h in pedal mode. Hence, solar mode threshing rate is 3.47 times more than pedal mode. This thresher will be very useful for small poor farmers in rural areas where there is no electricity or its supply is erratic. Due to its small weight it will also be very useful for farmers in hilly regions due to its easy transport from one place to another.

Published: October 2022

Field experiments were conducted to assess the effect of four sowing methods on the growth, photosynthetic, and yield traits of dryland winter wheat. Furthermore, the impact of N input rates was also evaluated on water consumption by the wheat plants from the soil. The seeds of winter wheat were sown using wide space sowing (WS), furrow sowing (FS), stereoscopic sowing (SS), and drill sowing (DS). The results indicated that different sowing methods significantly affected the yield and grain quality. The increase in grain yield was 25%, 17%, and 11%, respectively, under WS, FS, and SS compared to that in DS. From sowing to jointing, the water consumption was highest under WS, mainly in deep soil layers. The photosynthetic traits and leaf area index were highest under WS, followed by those under FS. The plant height was highest under DS. The water consumption index and grain yield were higher at the N rate 210-240 kg ha-1 than those at the other N rates applied. In conclusion, the WS and 210 kg N ha-1 improved the canopy structure, water consumption, and winter wheat yield.

Published: October 2022

Fish polyculture has resulted in high fish production per unit area, mainly due to the best utilization of all kinds of nutrients. In this nine month’s experimental study, five different fish species were stocked in five earthen ponds designated as control (one pond), treatment-T1 (two ponds) and treatment-T2 (two ponds). Fish stocked in T1 and T2 ponds were fed with a commercial feed containing 20% and 25% crude protein, respectively, whereas fish stocked in the control pond was fed with a conventional mixture of feed ingredients (fish meal, gluten, sunflower, and rice polish) having 20% CP. The fish was fed @ 3% of the fish wet body weight twice a day. The fish was sampled every fortnight. Physicochemical parameters of the ponds were measured daily. The results showed that the maximum weight gain (255 g) was recorded in Pangasius pangasius in treatment T2 and minimum (52.5 g) in Cirrhinus mrigala in the control pond. Overall, maximum fish production was recorded after harvest in treatment T2 followed by that in treatment T1 and control ponds, respectively. Overall, the commercial fish feed enriched with crude protein was very effective in promoting growth and development of pond fish.

Published: October 2022

The aim of this research was to examine the relationships among Pseudomonas fluorescens (YX2) plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), phosphorus (P) absorption by plants, and root system architecture in apple seedlings exposed to mild, moderate or severe drought stresses. All the treatments were divided into two groups: 1) inoculated with a plant rhizobacterial strain (YX2), and 2) the non-inoculated control. Under drought stress, the YX2 inoculation improved root growth, root activity by 6%, and uptake of P, thereby promoting apple seedling growth along with the dry weight of above-ground plant parts in the mild and moderate water stress regimes. Furthermore, the inoculation also promoted total P contents in plants under both mild and moderate drought stresses. Overall, application of Pseudomonas fluorescens (YX2) is a promising approach to enhance apple production in agricultural production systems.

Published: October 2022

Information on the impact of salinity of irrigation water on  soil moisture and salt content is scant in the literature. Therefore, in the present study, growth of sorghum as well as soil moisture and salt content were investigated as affected by irrigation water salinity. In this experiment, the effect of three salinity levels of irrigation water, i.e., 2, 7 and 14 dS m-1 was monitored on sorghum growth, and changes in soil moisture and salinity of soil saturated extract during the growing season. Irrigation water salinity, depending on the intensity of stress, reduced forage yield, so that 7 and 14 dS m-1 salinity decreased the fresh weight by 11% and 45% and the dry weight by 17% and 62%, respectively, compared to those in non-saline conditions. At two soil depths (0-30 cm and 30-60 cm), the lowest moisture content was observed under non-saline conditions and the highest at 14 dS m-1. The salinity of soil saturated extract was also increased with increasing salinity of irrigation water. By applying salinities of 2 and 14 dS m-1, soil salinity decreased and increased by the end of the growing season, respectively. However, soil salinity  in 7 dS m-1 treatment was decreased first and then increased until the end of the growing season. At the end of the growing season, the average soil salinity in 7 and 14 dS m-1 treatments was 1.8 and 1.4 times, respectively, higher than that of the irrigation water salinity. In a nutshell, in saline conditions, more moisture remains in the soil, which may help sustain the of growth of halophytes to some extent.

Published: October 2022

Development of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is the after effect of various mutational occasions, which leads to the development of protection from hostile to multiple tuberculosis drugs. In this study, we identified drug resistance genes, their evolutionary analysis, mutational variation, and docking to characterize the drug target potentials of two Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains SWLPK and MNPK resourced from Pakistan. For this purpose, we used different bioinformatics tools including the RAST server for annotation, and UniProt, NCBI, BLAST and MUSCLE for data retrieval and analysis. Evolutionary relationships were drawn using MEGA 7. A 3D structure was modelled by I-TASSER, while refinement and minimizations were performed using the UCSF Chimera 1.14.1. Moreover, the Ramachandran plot was used to check the quality of the proteins, while PatchDock was used for the docking analysis. Based on the comparison with the reference genome (M. tuberculosis H37RV), the SWLPK and MNPK strains encoded 24 multi-drug resistance genes. The drug resistance genes of nearby strains had developmental relatedness and comparable useful attributes imperative to their ecological specialties. The docking analysis revealed that the proteins accurately bound at their binding region just like the reference protein H37Rv (NuoG). We identified 24 multi-drug resistance genes in the SWLPK and MNPK strains. Moreover, there were a few missing drug resistance genes found in H37Rv, which were not present in the MNPK and SWLPK strains. The 24 genes reported in the MNPK and SWLPK strains might have a major contribution in drug resistance.

Published: October 2022

An ethno-botanical study was carried out to consolidate knowledge on folk uses of plant resources of Hazar Nao Hills, District Malakand, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan. Data were recorded from February 2019 to March 2020 by collecting old information from the local inhabitants including old age males, females and herbalists about different uses of plant resources. Data were collected through a well-structured questionnaire by interviewing 150 local men, women, and herbalists. As per our data, 72 vascular plant species, belonging to 45 different families and 56 genera were used by the local people for diverse native uses. Of all families recorded in this study, except two, all belong to Spermatophyta, a major division of plant kingdom. With regard to the habits of plant species recorded in the area, 36 were herbs, 10 shrubs, 25 trees and one  pteridophyte. On a percentage basis, the total plant species (72) collected from the study area comprised 49% herbs, 14% shrubs, 34% trees, and 1% pteridophyte. The highest numbers of species recorded were from families Lamiaceae (5 spp.) and Poaceae (5 spp.) followed by families Euphorbiaceae (4 spp.), Moraceae (4 spp), and Polygonaceae (4 spp). Overall, the field scrutiny showed that overgrazing, deforestation, unscientific collection and agricultural expansion, as well as their considerable use for feed or medicinal purposes are the factors causing a significant decline of native vegetation. Thus, continuous work on plant resources and conservation of Hazar Nao Hills is imperatively needed.
The Relevance of Sayyid Jamaluddin al Afghani's Thoughts for Indonesia in Facing the Challenges of Globalisation
Authors: Bhinekawati Risa , Sitasari Ita , Najib Muhammad
Published: October 2022

This article discusses the life journey of Sayyid Jamaluddin Al Afghani (1938-1897), his thoughts and teachings on Islamic modernisation and their relevance for Indonesia in facing today’s free trade. Using the historical narrative writing method, this article describes the history of Afghani’s life and works. Furthermore, the author analyses the main points of Afghani’s thoughts, especially in terms of rationalism, the six principles of truth (Arkan al-Sittah) in dealing with materialism, Qadha and Qadar, and the role of government, and writes down their relevance for Indonesia in facing competition in the era of globalisation. In the face of global competition, the author argues that Afghani’s thinking can be applied to Indonesia at two levels. At the country level, Indonesia can use it to improve its economic diplomacy strategy. Meanwhile, at the community level, the Indonesian people can apply it in determining the choice of social and economic activities to be more in favour of domestic products. With the collective strength of the community, it is hoped that Indonesia can be economically independent.

This study has examined the impact of political instability on child labour on the panel of 53 developing economies. To conduct this analysis, this study has applied GMM (generalized method of moments) techniques to the panel data of child labour (dependent variable) and political instability urbanisation, inflation, gross domestic product, and trade (independent variables) from 2000 to 2015. In addition, it has conducted the disaggregated analysis, which is based on the level of income in developing economies. This study has concluded that political instability has a positive impact on child labour in developing countries. Child labour is positively related to inflation and trade, negatively associated with economic growth rate and urbanization. According to disaggregated analysis, political instability also positively affects child labour in low-income and high-income countries. Still, trade has a positive impact on high-income countries and a negative impact on low-income countries. In addition, control variables and child labour in the primary model and disaggregate analysis have the same relationships. Empirical results of this study suggest that political instability plays a critical role in increasing child labour in developing countries and has indicated that the government of developing countries should pay particular attention to political instability. Child labour can be reduced by taking good steps toward controlling political instability.

The Eucharist, which we celebrate today, has various aspects of spiritual richness worth to study. For an in-depth study on the Eucharist, the historical-biblical approach would be helpful, since such an approach would hopefully reveal its essential dimensions seen from a Christian perspective, namely, as a sign of grace which confers the grace it signifies. This study, using such a historical-biblical approach, tends to reveals the essential dimensions of the Eucharist starting precisely from its origin, namely, Jesus’ Last Supper arranged before his passion, death and burial. Rooted deeply in Jewish tradition, it shows its proper character as a Christian rite of salvation having Jesus’ sacrificial self-giving as its essential novelty.

DARUL ULUM DEOBAND: PRESERVING RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL INTEGRITY OF SOUTH ASIAN MUSLIMS THROUGH STRUCTURAL AND STRATEGIC INNOVATIONS
Authors: DR. MUHAMMAD NAVEED AKHTAR
Published: October 2022

The end of Mughal Empire in the wake of War of Independence 1857 left the Muslim community of South Asia political orphans; desperately facing religious and cultural assaults, political as well as economic victimization and marginalization under British Raj. At this time of vulnerability of the Muslim society, it was the educational institutions established by Muslim ideologues which took up the task of strengthening, reforming and revitalizing the Muslim society to cope with the challenges pushing them down to the bottom, they also helped them regain the lost confidence and integrity. These institutions were not merely educational bodies but the movements endeavoring for Muslim renaissance in South Asia. Among them, one was Darul Ulum Deoband which, from its inception to date, played a historic role in confronting the politico-cultural challenges to the South Asian Muslims by adopting dynamic political strategies and accommodating modern structural innovative modifications in the institutions. This, indeed, helped it be a popular movement and achieve its objectives. The present paper goes into some of important historical developments such as: socio-political circumstances which led to the origination of madrasah Deoband, lofty vision and objectives envisaged by its founders, administration of educational-cum-institutional paraphernalia, nationalist stance and struggle for freedom carried out by the Deobandi veterans, strategies and policies it adopted to deal with political challenges faced by the Indian Muslims during British Raj and after partition of India. It explores and discusses the factors which helped this school of thought be popular and become one of the major sects of Islam. Moreover, it also brings in the much debated issue of its stance on jihad, militant struggle and terrorism. By bringing to light the historical developments, vision of its founders, objectives they determined to achieve and strategies they devised to tackle the challenges, the paper argues that the main concern of Darul Ulum Deoband’s activities was and has been to preserve the Muslim culture in South Asia and to restore the confidence of the Muslim community which they lost after the First War of Independence in 1857 and decline of Mughal Empire, and the modernist and innovative strategies it adopted to achieve its objectives, despite the criticism from within and outside, led to it emerging as one of the dominant sects of Islam.

Authors: DR. RIFKI ISMAL
Published: October 2022

The National Waqf Body (BWI) and Ministry of Finance (MoF) have implemented a model called Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS) and issued the Government of Indonesia Sukuk (Islamic securities) namely Sukuk Waqf Indonesia (SWI) in 2020. The intention behind applying CWLS model is to accelerate waqf as one of the Islamic social funds and particularly, to optimize the collection of cash waqf with Islamic securities to serve the public and at the same time to diversify the sovereign securities (Sukuk) in the Islamic financial market. Indeed, it is very crucial to assess the feasibility of the CWLS model as a new sovereign Sukuk instrument in the market despite its sharia compliant aspect. Especially, it needs to undergo a robust academic assessment such as formulation of the model, optimal level of each party such as the government, waqif, waqf management agencies (Nadzhir), etc . This is the objective and main motivation of the research. The paper will answer the following research questions: (i) What is the quantitative formula of SWI model especially SWI issuers and holders? What is the formula of the optimal impacts of SWI model, taking into account two types of waqif? Finally, what is the optimal formula for project financing, given the total cash waqf investment? Then, the paper technically constructs and develops the quantitative formulas of SWI instrument namely BWI, Ministry of Finance (MoF), waqf management agencies (Nadzhir), partners of Nadzhir and waqf investors (waqif). SWI formulation is derived based on SWI’s terms and conditions, cash flow, intentions of waqf investors and tenor of SWI. Later, the optimal impacts of SWI are measured by formulating the present and future values of waqf investment to assess the Net Present Value (NPV) and limit theories to find variables determining the optimal SWI impacts on the public via project financing taking into account two types of waqif namely temporary waqif and permanent waqif. Finally, the paper contributes to the academic assessment of CWLS model (SWI instrument) particularly, it identifies variables determining the optimal implementation of CWLS model which might benefit the waqf stakeholders.
