In vitro gas production (GP) technique was used to investigate effect of exogenous enzymes cellulase (CEL) or xylanase (XYL) at different doses on in vitro fermentation characteristics of corn stover. Enzymes were supplemented at 0 (control), 10, 20, 40 and 80 µg/g DM. Gas production was determined at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h of incubation. After 72 h, the incubation was stopped and supernatant pH was determined, and filtered to determine dry matter (DMD), neutral detergent fiber (NDFD) and acid detergent fiber (ADFD) degradabilities. Interaction effects occurred for enzyme type and dose for all measured gas parameters with exception of the lag time, DMD, organic matter degradability (OMD), NDFD, metabolizable energy (ME), short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and microbial crude protein (MCP) production. Cellulase and XYL increased GP (P<0.05) at different incubation hours with better results at the dose of 40 µg/g DM. The dose 80 µg XYL/g DM had the lowest GP compared to other doses. In addition, CEL and XYL decreased pH with increasing OMD, ME, SCFA and MCP production at 40 µg/ g DM of corn stover. The present results suggested that the level of CEL and XYL at 40 µg/g DM have higher GP than other levels of enzymes, imply this level can be more effectively to improve rumen fermentation; however, the difference of XYL between treatments and control was less than that of CEL.

Published: August 2023

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) popularly referred to as hydatidosis, is an important zoonotic infection of global prevalence. It is the most common bladderworm found in food animals. Its economic impact due to productivity losses and viscera condemnation, not worked out so far in India, must be considerable, as the disease is endemic in India and affects all livestock species. In man, the cysts may lodge in vital organs and cause morbidity. In India, developments have not kept pace with the attention and progress on CE elsewhere. The objective of this review is to provide comprehensive information on various aspects of the problem from an Indian perspective. Particular attention was paid to include advances in our understanding of the molecular biology and data generated on genotype frequency. Significant gaps which merit being addressed on priority, as well as control strategies for implementation, have been spelt out.

In India, brucellosis a re-emerging disease, is of public health and economic concern to dairy industry. Brucella abortus strain-19 vaccine is recommended as most effective vaccine for cattle and buffaloes, however application of full dose is restricted in adults due to persistence of antibody response that interfere with serological diagnosis. In the present study 120 seronegative female cattle (60 calves and 60 young heifers each in a group) were subjected for vaccination. In each age group, 40 animals were vaccinated subcutaneously with a reduced dose of B. abortus S-19 vaccine, 10 animals with standard dose and 10 animals served as controls. Animals were observed for local or systemic reactions after vaccination as well as during study period. Blood samples were collected on day 0, 21, 60, 90 post-vaccination for antibody response and cell mediated immunity (CMI). The study revealed that the reduced dose vaccine is safe with satisfactory humoral and CMI response comparable to that of the standard dose, in both the age groups of animals when administered subcutaneously. It was concluded that the B. abortus S-19 reduced dose vaccine is safe and effective in the young and non-pregnant cattle up to the age of 30 months.

Published: August 2023

The study was conducted to compare the milking behaviour and temperament of Murrah buffaloes due to suckling and weaning at different ages. Initially, 42 recently calved buffaloes were selected and assigned alternately in to 3 groups as suckling (Gr 1), weaning at birth (Gr 2) and weaning on 45th day (Gr 3). The different behavioural parameters of the buffaloes were recorded for the first 15 days of milking/weaning during each milking. The overall average milk let down time was non-significant among the groups. The average milk yield per milking (morning and evening) was significantly (P<0.01) higher in Gr 1 (3.44±0.14 kg) and Gr 2 (3.18±0.46 kg) in comparison to Gr 3 (2.24±0.25 kg). The overall average milking time was significantly (P<0.01) higher in Gr 1 (4.41±0.14 min) than Gr 3 (3.05±0.21 min); however milking time in Gr 2 (4.29±0.41min) was not significantly different from Gr 1. The percent of dams showing stepping behaviour in Gr 1, Gr 2 and Gr 3 was 20.23, 27.57 and 44.11, respectively, and the corresponding value for kicking behaviour was 2.61, 10.60 and 13.39, respectively. The average number of dams showing bellowing behaviour in Gr 1, Gr 2 and Gr 3 was 3.56, 9.09 and 12.66, respectively. Similar trends were observed among the groups as mentioned in stepping and kicking. The percentage of dams which licked calf or looked at milker in Gr 1, Gr 2 and Gr 3 was 34.99, 9.38 and 33.33 respectively. The percentage of dams showing head shaking activity during milking operation in Gr 1, Gr 2 and Gr 3 was 26.42, 0.00 and 10.00 percent, respectively. The overall mean milking temperament score was significantly (P<0.05) higher in Gr 3 (1.73±0.18) than Gr 1 (1.20±0.05) and Gr 2 (1.48±0.17). The success rate of weaning practice in dairy buffaloes was higher at calving than later stage of lactation.

Published: August 2023

The experience from developed countries established that decline in the share of agriculture in national GDP is an indication of economic progress of the country. However, commensurate with the decline in GDP contribution, the dependency of population on agriculture is also expected to decline. In this context, this paper analysed the performance of Indian agriculture in terms of growth, employment and output using secondary data in the last two decades (1990- 2010) at the national level and also with the special focus on the major states. Specifically the paper discuses: (i) agricultureâ€™s contribution in the national employment and income, (ii) sectoral changes in employment across the states, and (iii) determinants of rural non-farm employment (RNFE). The results have shown that percentage share of agriculture in employment has declined during last two decades, but it was not comparable to the extent of decline in its share in the national GDP. Dependency on agriculture declined for the male workers, while it increased for female workers in the recent decade, indicating feminization of agriculture. The RNFE in different states exceeded over 25 per cent for 12 out of 17 states, and it was significantly high in the states of Kerala, Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. The determinant analysis revealed that the infrastructure development, agricultural growth and farm-size are the major factors which positively influenced the RNFE, whereas the share of SC and ST population in rural population had negative effect on the growth of RNFE.

Published: August 2023

The performance of eleven grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] cultivars on weed competition was evaluated in the semi-arid tropics of India during rainy seasons of 2009 and 2010 at Hyderabad. The experiment consisted of the three weeding levels (unweeded check, atrazine 0.50 kg/ha + hoeing once at 30 days after sowing- DAS, and atrazine + hoeing twice at 30 and 45 DAS) as the main plot treatments and eleven grain sorghum cultivars (CSH 16, CSH 23, CSH 14, SPH 1596, SPH 1606, SPH 1616, CSV 15, CSV 17, CSV 20, CSV 23, SPV 462) as the sub plots, was replicated thrice in a split-plot design. The cultivar competitiveness was associated with its ability to intercept solar radiation. Sorghum leaf area index (LAI) was negatively correlated (r = –0.82**) with a light transmission ratio (LTR) and weed dry weight at harvest (r = –0.81**). The yield reduction due to weed competition among cultivars varied from 21 to 53%. Grain yield was significantly and positively correlated with initial fresh shoot weight (r = 0.61*), LAI (r= 0.84**), panicle number (r = 0.68**), and significantly negatively correlated with weed biomass (r = –0.62*) and LTR (r = –0.77**). Sorghum hybrids CSH 16 resulted in better weed suppression, whereas CSH 14, SPH 1616 and SPH 1606 tolerated higher weed pressure. CSH 16 (unweeded and weeded once), and SPH 1596 (weeded twice) were the most profitable. Results showed that growing sorghum hybrid CSH 16 and controlling weeds with atrazine at 0.50 kg/ha as pre-emergence followed by 1 hoe weeding at 30 DAS would lead to higher yield and profits.

Published: August 2023

The effect of plant bio-regulators, viz. salicylic acid (200ppm), Ca-EDTA (0.4%), thyme oil (100 ppm) and control (distilled water dip) on the postharvest shelf life of plum (Prunus salicina L.) var. Santa Rosa was studied at ambient (18-20oC and 85-90% RH) and low temperature (2oC and 90% RH) conditions for 20 and 55 days respectively. The fruits treated with Ca-EDTA had better retention of firmness followed by salicylic acid and control at ambient and low temperature storage conditions. The highest (22.19%) physiological loss in weight (PLW) was observed in the plum fruits dipped in distilled water as compared to 14.97% in salicylic acid and 15.74% in thyme oil at ambient conditions after 20 days of storage. The maximum and minimum PLW of 3.95 and 2.60% was recorded in the above treatments at low temperature after 55 days of storage. The TSS of the fruits dipped in water and stored at ambient conditions were found to increase for 14 days followed by reduction as compared to other treatments where the TSS increased for 20 days. The maximum reduction in ascorbic acid from 13.64 mg/100g to 8.64 mg/100g was recorded in the water dipped plum fruits stored at ambient conditions for 20 days as compared to the same treatment under low temperature where the reduction was observed from 13.65 to 12.38 after 55 days of storage. The total sugars in the water dipped (control) fruits was found to increase for 6 days followed by decrease at ambient conditions. The fruits treated with salicylic acid showed increase in sugars at the slowest rate compared to Ca-EDTA and thyme oil in both the storage conditions. At both the storage conditions the retention of the antioxidants was better in the SA treated fruits followed by Ca-EDTA and thyme oil.

Published: August 2023

The aim of the study is to evaluate the poverty reduction programme in Nigeria. Poverty is a multidimensional matter which cannot be only focusing on one sector of the economy, while poverty reduction programme should also be multidimensional in all sectors which can serve as emancipation of the poor. The study discovered that most of the programme implemented has not impact positively on the targeted poor people in Nigeria. However, policy inconsistent and mismanagement caused the programme not to become complete success, which has put 80% of citizens in absolute poverty. This study recommends that there is a need for effective monitoring mechanism of the programme and creation of enabling environment that can lead to creation of wealth and employment in the country.
From the "Nova Brasília Favela" case to the "Jacarezinho Community" case: Police violence, mutilated citizenship and necropolitics
Authors: Mota Maria Nazareth Vasques , Mota Guilherme Gustavo Vasques , Rubim Larissa Campos
Published: August 2023

In this article, cases of police violence are reported, repeatedly perpetrated in State police operations, under the justification of combating drug trafficking, in poor communities, in the midst of the so-called "war on drugs", with a deadly effect on individuals who even have passage through the police. Such police operations were prohibited, in the face of the Corona Virus Epidemic, by the decision of Minister Edson Fachin, in ADPF, however, they continued to be perpetrated, reaching communities that are not even consistent with the criminal practice of drug trafficking and have their dignity offended, as the materialization of the right to decent housing can be gauged by the respect that the State bestows on those it must treat as citizens. The approach methodology was inductive, starting from specific situations to general conclusions, the method of procedure was historical and descriptive, and the techniques used were bibliographical and documental, with the use of newspaper works and the internet. After three sections, it was concluded by understanding that the way of combating drug trafficking has been implemented as war, but who die are blacks, poor people and people in vulnerable and risk situations, stripped of citizenship and targets of true necropolitics.

School-age children comprise a group with a greater propensity to exposure in contaminated environments, which favors the involvement of pathologies caused by geohelminths. Therefore, the present study aims to verify the clinical and socioeconomic changes associated with infection by parasitosis in children. This is a cross-sectional observational study to verify the clinical, parasitological and socioeconomic alterations of children attended in the pediatrics of the community our home, located in the neighborhood Vergel do Lago, Maceió-AL. It was found among the samples of biological material that 20.4% were positive for gastrointestinal helminths, of which 66.7% were positive for Ascaris lumbricoides, 22.2% for Ancylostoma duodenalis and 11.1% for Hymenolepis diminuta, as well as that 39% of the children ingest water from the tap, 42.8% do not have the habit of sanitizing their hands before meals and more than half do not have basic sanitation in their Residences. It was also observed that most mothers had incomplete elementary education and most had an income of up to 1 minimum wage. Thus, it is concluded that sanitation and hygiene conditions contributed to the number of positives. The prevalence of Ascaris lumbricóides suggests low adherence to the habit of hand hygiene by children. Most of them lived with about seven people and in a rented house, with low income, evidencing their precarious socioeconomic level. In addition, the mothers' low level of education predisposes them to significant resistance to return with the stool sample.

Published: August 2023

Circle weeding within the area covered by oil palm canopy is one of the most important methods of weed management in young oil palm plantations. Application of herbicide mixture has been a common practice to control mixed weeds in oil palm and it also helps to delay herbicide resistance. This study aims to determine the efficacy of MSMA in combination with diuron for weed control in young oil palm circles under field conditions. Three sequential applications of the herbicide combinations with 45 days’ interval were carried out while weed control and appearance of oil palm spears were assessed throughout the 18 weeks’ of experimental period. The results showed that MSMA + diuron at a rate of 2 945 + 600 g per hectare provided 86 per cent weed control in young oil palm circles with healthy oil palm spears after three sequential applications although scorching was apparent at lower fronds due to drift of spray droplets. Increasing the rate of MSMA + diuron to 5 890 + 1 200 g per hectare gave comparable results and the treatment did not exhibit phytotoxic effect to spears of young oil palm after three sequential applications. These findings suggest that a combination of MSMA + diuron at a rate of 2 945 + 600 g per hectare could be applied to control weeds in young oil palm circle without causing phytotoxicity to the oil palm spears although scorching was observed at the lower fronds. Keywords: Diuron, herbicide mixture, spears, sequential.
Managing the Rugose Spiraling Whitefly Using Novel Technologies: Feasibilities and Possibilities
Authors:   ICAR-Indian Institute of Oil Palm Research, KALIDAS P
Published: August 2023

Rugose spiraling whitefly (RSW), Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin. is an invasive pest feeding on all the green leaved plants including oil palm causing nutrient as well as photosynthetic loss resulting in yield reductions. To manage the pest incidence, use of various possible and feasible measures in an integrated manner is the only available answer. Although many of these measures are not fool proof in giving 100 per cent control of the pest, in the present conditions it is the only solution to implement in the infested areas to reduce the pest incidence and infestation to below threshold limits. Based on the results obtained at different places, Good Agricultural Practices have been drawn for the successful mitigation of the pest. Most of these were tested in farmers’ fields and found suitable to implement in all the infested areas in an integrated manner rather than alone. The compatibility among different practices when implemented together shows the significance of individual as well as combined practices in managing the pest population. Since the pest is an invasive one with no boundaries on feeding, it is required to draw attention on Intergrated Pest Management (IPM) practices to check the population effectively. For this purpose all the possible measures like stopping procurement of nursery plants from the infested areas, taking control measures on all the feeding plants, growing pest repellent plants like marigold all around the garden, hanging sticky traps in the gardens to attract the adult flies and thereby reduce the pest load, conservation of existing and release of available parasitoids and predators need to be carried out in an integrated manner. Entomopathogen, Isaria fumosorosea fungus is a good and effective Myco biocontrol agent for causing maximum mortality of the pest population. The feasible practices on its multiplication using locally available low cost material were developed at ICAR-Indian Institute of Oil Palm Research, Pedavegi. The methodology to multiply the mother culture by farmers in their homes was also developed which is helpful for further multiplication and usage of it against the pest. The cost of multiplication of mother culture using locally available materials was found to be half the price to that of the laboratory prepared one. This methodology nullifies the farmers’ dependency for mother culture on various institutes/laboratories and helps to have sufficient culture with them.

Authors:   IOI Group Kahang Estate, SARAVANAN K , IDRUS M A , PRAKASH A
Published: August 2023

Kahang Estate, situated in the south eastern part of Johor state is known for severe rat damage on oil palm fruits for more than two-and-a-half decades. The main species is Rattus tiomanicus and the current practice of poison baiting with high number of rounds per campaign was found to be short lived in controlling the rat damage on fresh fruit bunches. A coincidental observation on one of the harvester’s hungry mongrel dog hunting a running rat in the field gave the idea and prompted the estate management to train and establish a rat hunting dog team since 2017. The current paper shares this first of its kind experience of Kahang Estate management in controlling the rat population by dogs in a consolidated area of 364 hectares of 2009 replants. Keywords: Rattus tiomanicus, bait shyness rats, mongrel dogs.

Published: August 2023

A field trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of two insecticides to control a large species of bagworm, i.e. Dapula (Clania) tertia, by trunk injection. The two insecticides evaluated were acephate (in two formulations, i.e. as a soluble powder and a liquid) and dimehypo (liquid formulation only). Acephate was tested in two rates for soluble powder formulation (7.5 g a.i. and 9.4 g a.i. per palm) and two rates for liquid formulation (6 g a.i. and 8 g a.i. per palm). Dimehypo was also tested at two rates, i.e. 6 g a.i. and 8 g a.i. per palm. Post-treatment assessment of live bagworm larvae population was carried out at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after the trunk injection treatments. The treatments of acephate soluble powder formulation at 7.5 g a.i. per palm and dimehypo at 6 g a.i. per palm were least effective as these two treatments recorded the highest number of larvae at the end of the trial compared to the other treatments. Liquid formulation of acephate at 6 g a.i. per palm and dimehypo at 8 g a.i. per palm caused some reduction in the population of bagworm larvae, but the desired maximum kill was not achieved. Both soluble powder and liquid formulations of acephate at the rate of 9.4 g a.i. per palm and 8 g a.i. per palm respectively were the best amongst the treatments, and resulted in fast and complete control of the bagworm larvae population at 21 days after treatment.

Enhancing Basic CPO Quality
Authors:   Virgin Palm Sdn Bhd, NG SAY BOCK , NG VINCENT
Published: August 2023

The palm oil industry is currently facing unprecedented issues and challenges. Global climate change is caused by human activity such as deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, palm oil has been singled out as the perpetrator. While the industry has taken proactive steps to deal with the negative consumer image by producing certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO), improving crude palm oil (CPO) quality must go in tandem with CSPO; otherwise the onerous efforts will be negated. Surveys over a span of 25 years have shown that our CPO quality has, at best, remained status quo. Enhancing palm oil quality is not just a must but a prerequisite. This is because these are the very characteristics that affect consumer’s perception of its value. The industry must produce CPO quality that refiners, and ultimately consumers, want and not the quality they think the refiners want. Refiners want CPO with low free fatty acid (FFA), low contamination, low oxidation, and high iodine value. Leaders of the industry must be committed to produce quality products, not just provide lip service. Formulating quality as a policy, and having effective control systems, do not in themselves, produce quality products. Such a task needs the commitment and the will of everyone within the organisation to set it in motion. In the long run, the most important factor affecting a business unit’s performance is the quality of its products and services in relation to its competitors. To produce quality CPO, all that is needed is – reduce contaminants during collection of fruits, minimise fruit damage and process the fruits early. Good coordination and cooperation between estates and mills is a must. Keywords: Survey, quality, improvements, refinery, requirements.

Examining the Impact of Sanctions and the Aftermath of the JCPOA on Iran’s Economy
Authors: Ustiashvili Samin
Published: August 2023

Today, various countries worldwide have managed to eliminate many obstacles that have been in the way of improving the welfare of their people over the years by developing international relations. Two of the most significant obstacles are securing financial resources and gaining access to technology and the market. Implementing sanctions against target countries indicates that economic sanctions have failed to improve the human rights situation and exacerbated it. One of the main levers of economic sanctions is restricting access to economic resources, the most important of which is international trade. The imposition of sanctions against Iran has caused a fundamental disruption in the global economic system. This disruption is now evident in the form of high financial costs and a lack of access to a reliable market for product sales, deepening the technological gap and cheap access to the resulting benefits. This research examines the impact of lifting sanctions and the post-JCPOA era on Iran’s economy.

Objectives: To isolate and determine the chemical structure of some compounds from the roots of Schisandra Cauliflora and their inhibitory activity on nitric oxide production. Methods: The roots of Schisandra cauliflora, which were collected in Vinh Phuc in April 2022, were processed before being extracted and isolated to obtain compounds. Compounds structures were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic analyses, including 1D- and 2D-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), and CD spectra. The obtained compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activity on nitric oxide production on LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Results and conclusion: From the methanol extract of the roots of Schisandra cauliflora, three dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans were isolated, including ananonin J, ananolignan F, and ananolignan C. Their structures were elucidated. All the compounds inhibited nitric oxide productions on LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 cells with IC50 values of 45.24 ± 1.46, 41.32 ± 1.45, and 48.71 ± 1.34µM, respectively, compared to that of the positive control of dexamethasone (IC50 14.20 ± 0.54µM). This is the first time these lignan compounds have been isolated from the roots of Schisandra cauliflora.

Authors:   , Schnick Brian
Published: August 2023

The applicable Natural Resource area of this project is animal control and wildlife management, as wild pigs can be quite destructive to landscapes (Campbell, et al., 2010) (McCann, et al., 2008). Geographic Information System (GIS) predictive models have proven to be useful in regards to other mammals (Travaini, et al., 2007), raptors (Bustamante, et al., 2004), and pest species such as locusts (van der Werf, et al., 2005). Pigs are often nocturnal and bed down in heavy cover, hindering direct observation. Additionally, Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) encompasses over 400 square kilometers. Therefore, predictive modeling is an appropriate method for identifying areas likely to be inhabited by pigs, and when combined with a ranked collection of valued property, the model should prove to be a valuable resource for planning and allocating animal control measures.
