Published: December 2024

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is crucial for malt production in the beverage industry, driving the need for sustainable practices to improve grain yield and quality. Fertility management and biofertilizers enhance nutrient availability and soil health, but their combined effects on 1malt barley quality require further study. A field experiment was conducted during rabi season 2020–21 and 2021–22 with the objective to evaluate the response of malt barley to fertility levels and biofertilizers. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (Factorial) with 15 treatment combinations comprised of three fertility levels, i.e. application of 70 kg N + 40 kg P2 O5 + 25 kg K2 O/ha, 60 kg N + 30 kg P2O5 + 20 kg K2 O/ha and 50 kg N + 25 kg P2O5 + 15 kg K2O/ha with 5 liquid biofertilizers, i.e. control, Azotobacter, PSB, KMB and Azotobacter + PSB + KMB. The result revealed that malt barley crop fertilized with 70 kg N + 40 kg P2 O5 + 25 kg K2O/ha recorded highest protein content (11.6%) and average grain weight (43.8 mg) which was significantly higher over rest of fertility levels. While the highest starch (61.8%) and malt content (82.6%) in grain recorded under application of 50 kg N + 25 kg P2O5 + 15 kg K2 O/ha. The results showed that seed inoculation with liquid biofertilizers Azotobacter + PSB + KMB significantly improved protein content (11.4%) and average grain weight (43.6 mg) of malt barley crop. While the highest starch (62.0%) and malt content (82.7%) in grain recorded under control. The study concludes that higher fertility levels and combined biofertilizer application (Azotobacter + PSB + KMB) enhance protein content and grain weight in malt barley, while lower fertility levels favour higher starch and malt content.

Published: December 2024

The research took place during the kharif season of 2018 and 2019 at TNAU, Coimbatore to examine the influence of weed control tactics on nutrients absorption and depletion of by maize weeds. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design consisting often weed management treatments viz., eight herbicide treatments along with weed free (hand weeding at 20 and 45 DAS) and weedy check. The findings indicated that the application of atrazine 0.5 kg a.i./ha as pre-emergence (PE) followed by (fb) topramezone 25.2 g a.i./ha as early post emergence (EPoE) had significantly lower nutrient removal by weeds (5.1, 2.2 and 3.2 N, P and K kg/ha), higher crop nutrient uptake (191.4, 56.5 and 138.9 N, P and K kg/ha) as well as grain and stover yield of maize i.e., 8.2 t/ha and 14.5 t/ha respectively and it was statistically at par with PE atrazine fb EPoE tembotrione 122 g a.i./ha. Therefore, the present study advocated the use of atrazine as PE fb topramezone or tembotrione as EPoE for reduced weed density, higher yield and nutrient uptake in maize.

Published: December 2024

A field experiment was conducted to find out the best combinations of pre- and post-emergence herbicides in maize for effective weed control and higher productivity at ICAR-Indian Institute of Maize Research, Ludhiana in 2021 and 2022. Results indicated that pre (PE)- and post-emergence (PoE) herbicide application, reduced the narrow-leaved weeds (NLW) and broad-leaved weeds (BLW) density from 62.41–91.46% and 55.53–82.11% respectively, compared to the weedy check. Among the PE, pyroxasulfone performed better than atrazine owing to selectivity towards maize with better weed control during both years. The density of Cyperus spp. was significantly reduced with halosulfuron PoE along with atrazine or pyroxasulfone PE over the years. A higher weed control efficiency (WCE) was found with pyroxasulfone followed by (fb) topramezone (90.4), while pyroxasulfone fb tembotrione (84.1) and atrazine fb topramezone (84.8) had similar WCE. Pyroxasulfone fb topramezone gave a 46.97% increase in grain yield over a weedy check. Pyroxasulfone fb topramezone and pyroxasulfone fb tembotrione resulted in higher net returns and B:C. Therefore, the application of pyroxasulfone as PE fb tembotrione as PoE or pyroxasulfone as PE fb topramezone as PoE may be recommended for better weed control and higher maize grain yield in NWPZ of India.

A 2 years field experiment was carried out at experimental farm of BCKV, Nadia, West Bengal during kharif season of 2019-20 and 2020-21 to study the effect of combined application of coated urea and organic manure on performance of rice. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replication and treatment comprised of five treatment combination such as T1- Control plot (without N); T2- 100% RDN through neem coated urea (NCU); T3- 75% RDN through NCU + 25% RDN through FYM (farm yard manure); T4- 100% RDN through polymer sulphur coated urea (PSCU); T5- 75% RDN through PSCU+25% RDN through FYM. The results showed that 75% RDN through PSCU+25% RDN through FYM have resulted in maximum growth attributes, yield components and yield of rice. The results showed that 75% RDN through PSCU+25% RDN through FYM have resulted in maximum growth attributes viz. taller plants (110.80 cm), maximum number of effective tillers per square meter (415.90/m2), highest DMA (740.02 g/m2), LAI (4.47) and CGR (6.56 g/m2/day), highest yield components like panicle length (23.5 cm), panicle weight (9.95 g), number of filled grains per panicle (113), and test weight (21.30 g) and maximum grain yield (4.79 t/ha) and straw yield (5.53 t/ha). Similarly significant maximum amount of total nutrient uptake by crop (99.7, 40.1 and 208 kg/ha NPK), protein yield (418 kg/ha), gross returns (71.8 x 103 Rs/ha), net return (52 x 103 Rs/ha) and B: C ratio (2.73) was noticed under T5 treatment as compared to the other treatments. Therefore, it is recommended to adopt a holistic nutrient management approach T5 (75% RDN through PSCU+25% RDN through FYM) in rice cultivation contribute to optimizing growth, yield, nutrient uptake and quality ultimately improving agricultural productivity, profitability and sustainability.

An incubation study, followed by a two-year field trial, was conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore, to comprehensively assess the nutrient release and the effect of macronutrient fertilizer mixtures on nutrient uptake, nutrient use efficiency, cotton quality parameters, and crop yield during 2020 to 2021. The study aimed to identify the best fertilizer combinations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) sources to enhance cotton growth and productivity. The treatments, all involving 100% Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF), comprised the following macronutrient mixtures: T1 (Urea + DAP + MOP), T2 (Urea + SSP + MOP), T3 (Urea + DAP + SOP), T4 (Urea + MAP + SOP), T5 (CN + DAP + MOP), T6 (CN + DAP + SOP), T7 (Urea + CN + SSP + MOP), T8 (CN + ASP + MOP), and T9 (Absolute Control). The incubation study provided insights into the nutrient release pattern from the different fertilizer mixtures over time. The two-year field trial confirmed that the application of a fertilizer mixture containing CN, DAP, and MOP (T5) significantly increased nutrient uptake T5 and agronomic use efficiency in cotton. The yield increase due to this particular treatment was 66.7% and 67.9% higher than the control during 2020 and 2021, respectively. Incorporation of sulfur-containing fertilizer mixtures, such as CN with DAP and SOP (T6 ), and urea with DAP and SOP (T3), markedly increased protein and oil content in cotton seed. Different fertilizer sources had no significant effect on lint quality parameters. Application of tailored macronutrient combinations to cotton plants improved nutrient uptake and yields, highlighting the practical benefits of strategic fertilizer application.

The field experiment was conducted at School of Agricultural Sciences, Nagaland University, during the kharif 2022 to study the different weed management practices on the growth, yield and economics of sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design consisting of 8 treatments. Results showed that two hand weeding at 20 DAS and 40 DAS proved to be the most effective in controlling weed density and influencing the growth and yield of sweet corn. However, among the integration treatments, application of atrazine at 1 kg/ha as PE fb one hand weeding at 20 DAS showed the lowest weed density and weed dry-matter, cob yield (8.05t/ha) and green fodder yield (19.31 t/ha). However, from an economic point of view, atrazine at 1 kg/ha as PE fb tembotrione at 0.12 kg/ha as PoE gave the highest B: C ratio (3.54) followed by atrazine at 1 kg/ha as PE fb one hand weeding. Higher cost of hand weeding can be replaced by application of herbicides which can result in higher profitability of the sweet corn production.

Résumé
L’eau est le composé chimique le plus utilisé dans les ménages à travers le monde. La vie sans l’eau est un non-sens. L’eau intervient dans le métabolisme de tous les êtres vivants. Les recherches ont montré que, le corps humain est composé d’environ 65% d’eau chez un adulte, 75% chez les nourrissons et 94% chez les embryons de trois jours. Pour l’homme, l’eau a une importance capitale dans toutes ses activités : la production agricole, la production d’eau potable, l’assainissement, la production d’énergie électrique et le transport, la restauration et la gestion des milieux naturels et forestiers, etc. Donc, les êtres vivants ont énormément besoin de l’eau pour leur survie. Dans les ménages, c’est l’eau potable qui est la denrée la plus nécessaire et la plus utilisée. Ainsi, par ce travail de recherche nous relèverons les problèmes liés aux différentes sources par lesquelles les populations vivant dans le quartier Kindele s’approvisionnent en eau potable. Nous chercherons à savoir comment ces populations arrivent-elles à accéder à l’eau potable ? Quelles sont leurs sources d’approvisionnement en eau potable ? Après notre étude, nous avons trouvé que, l’accès à l’eau potable pose d’énormes problèmes dans ce quartier car, les sources d’approvisionnement sont seulement les forages et la pluie, absence totale de la REGIDESO, comme conséquences, les populations se déplacent à des longues distances pour avoir de l’eau et ces populations sont exposées aux diverses maladies d’origine hydrique en utilisant l’eau provenant de ces deux sources sans moindre traitement à l’échelle domestique.

Les attitudes et pratiques incluent l'administration de médicaments à domicile soit 100% et l'évitement de certains facteurs aggravants comme la chaleur et le froid soit respectivement 86,2%. Toutefois, le trouble de sommeil soit 96,5%, le stress avec 86,2%, des difficultés financières avec 86,2% et émotionnelles avec 65,5% subsistent parmi les mères. En conclusion bien que des efforts notables soient faits pour sensibiliser et informer les mères sur la drépanocytose, il reste crucial d'améliorer l'accès à des soins complets qui incluent des supports psychologiques et socio-culturels. Des recommandations sont donc nécessaires pour renforcer les interventions communautaires et les politiques de santé afin de mieux soutenir les familles affectées par cette maladie.

Résumé
Le phénomène des filles-mères à Kinshasa, République Démocratique du Congo, représente un défi social majeur résultant de multiples causes et engendrant des conséquences significatives sur les plans familial, social, économique et psychologique. Cet article analyse les déterminants et les impacts de ce phénomène, tout en proposant des recommandations pour y remédier. Les causes identifiées sont variées et incluent des dimensions socioéconomiques, telles que la pauvreté, la promiscuité dans les logements, et l’absence d’éducation sexuelle adaptée. A cela s’ajoutent des facteurs sociopolitiques, comme l’instabilité et l’absence de politiques sociales de soutien aux jeunes vulnérables. Les aspects socioculturels et religieux jouent également un rôle important, notamment le poids des normes traditionnels, l’acculturation et l’influence croissante des médias numériques, qui exposent les jeunes filles à des comportements à risque. Les conséquences du phénomène sont profondes. A l’échelle familiale, les filles-mères subissent des conflits internes et une perte de soutien parental. Sur le plan social, elles sont souvent stigmatisées et marginalisées, ce qui limite leurs opportunités éducatives et économiques. Les effets psychologiques incluent des sentiments de culpabilité, une faible estime de soi et une dépression accrue. Sanitairement, les grossesses précoces exposent les filles à des risques de complications obstétricales graves. Pour répondre à cette problématique, l’article recommande de renforcer l’éducation sexuelle afin de mieux informer les jeunes sur la santé reproductive, de développer des politiques sociales pour encadrer les jeunes vulnérables, et sensibiliser les communautés à réduire la stigmatisation des filles-mères. En conclusion, cet article met en évidence la nécessité d’une approche globale impliquant les familles, les décideurs politiques et les acteurs sociaux pour atténuer les effets de ce phénomène sur les jeunes filles et sur la société dans son ensemble.

The dwarf honey bee Apis florea Fabricius, was successful coexistence with larger bees, Apis cerana Fabricius and Apis dorsata Fabricius in Bangalore, India. However, there is a lack of A. florea foraging behavior that shared the same plant resources with A. cerana and stingless bee Tetragonula laeviceps (Smith) in Indonesia. This study investigated the foraging activities of two honey bee species (A. florea and A. cerana) and the stingless bee T. laeviceps, which live sympatrically and also seek environmental factors that influence the foraging behavior of bees. The flight activity was recorded on the bee farm at Jombang Regency, East Java Province, from 06.00–16.00 hours for three consecutive days. Environmental factors of temperature, humidity, and light intensity in open and close to the nest areas were recorded. This study reported that A. florea started foraging activity at 09.00, while A. cerana and T. laeviceps started to forage earlier, at 06.00 in the morning. Therefore, the foraging activities of bees in East Java, revealed temporal resource partitioning, which confirmed the results of a previous study in Bangalore. The temperature and humidity mainly influenced the foraging activity of the three bee species (P<0,001). Temporal resource partitioning in A. florea suggests a foraging strategy that coexists with sympatric honeybees and stingless bees. The high flight activity of A. florea at midday suggests that this species can adapt to high temperatures. This result implies that A. florea could be a potential future pollinator in tropical regions facing the issue of a warming climate.

The study dealt with the repercussions of the Sudan war and its social and economic repercussions on the city of Port Sudan, as the study aimed to reflect the suffering of the displaced, know the real numbers of them, shed light on their problems and propose appropriate solutions, as indicated by the impact of non-governmental organizations in providing them with assistance. The problem of the study was the weakness of the infrastructure, especially water and electricity services, which the state already suffers from, which negatively affects the suffering of the displaced. The study followed the descriptive analytical approach and the qualitative approach in social research. The study reached a number of results, the most important of which was that the displaced in the state are estimated at 239,000 displaced people residing in 80 shelter centers and 21,400 families residing outside the shelter centers. The city of Port Sudan contained 95% of the shelter centers. The most important problems of the displaced were the loss of sources of income, overcrowding in the shelter centers, the lack of adequate food, the inappropriateness of tents for the city's weather, and the instability of electricity. The King Salman Relief Center was one of the largest supporters of the displaced in addition to the Qatar Charity. The study also made some recommendations, the most important of which was the need to establish desalination plants for water, electricity or solar power generators, in addition to providing health and psychological care and rehabilitating toilets to take into account people with special needs.

Published: January 2025

Cyanide solutions used in industry are harmful not only to humans but also to other living organisms. The development of low cost and simple in preparation electrodes for cyanide electrochemical destruction is an important requirement. Ti electrodes galvanostatically covered with a Pt layer of 120, 300 and 600 nm average thickness were chosen as the anodes for electrochemical oxidation of high concentration (0.1 M) cyanide solutions. The morphology and microstructure of Pt coatings were observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. It was found from XRD data that the average Pt crystallite size is equal to 9.3 ± 0.5 nm regardless of whether the electrode has been exploited for cyanide electrochemical destruction. Electrocatalytic activity of platinized Ti electrodes was tested by determining the current efficiencies of cyanide electrooxidation that were found to be equal to 60% thus showing high effectiveness of the process. The obtained results indicate that electrocatalytic properties of the electrodes change over time as the oxidation of cyanide is carried out. Nevertheless, a Ti electrode galvanostatically covered with a Pt layer of 600 nm average thickness shows higher stability, making it applicable for effective anodic utilization of cyanide ions.

Insertion of industrial waste into the ceramic matrix is one of the heavy metal binding technologies, allowing to obtain products fit for use or to reduce the volume of waste before final disposal at the same time. The properties of phosphating process waste and opportunities for its stabilization in the ceramic matrix are investigated in this study.Before investigation of stabilization a thermogravimetric analysis of phosphating sludge has been performed. The sludge was heated at 400, 600 and 1000 °C, and SEM images of sludge were made. The SEM images show that re-crystallization processes occur during the heating of the sludge.Ceramic samples for leaching tests were formed by adding 5 and 10% of phosphating sludge to the clay mass and by burning them at 900–1050 °C for 1–4 hours. The results of the leaching tests showed that the concentration of heavy metals from the burned ceramic samples containing 5 and 10% of phosphating sludge is less than the detection limit of the instrument, and at the same time it is below the allowable limits set out in the Wastewater Management Regulation. In this way, phosphating sludge stabilization in the ceramic proved as effective heavy metals immobilization and hazardous waste decontamination.
