Effect of presoaking of paddy seeds in different concentrations of sodium bi-carbonate solution on the yield of paddy.
Authors:   Assitant in Paddy Rice Research Station Tirurkuppam, P NARAYANASWAMY
Published: October 2023

Treating seeds in nutrients like phosphate and magnesium before sowing as an improved technique in the cultivation of field crops for increasing erop production has been under experimentation in the country and elsewhere and the results were found to be promising. The investigation was undertaken in order to test whether the chemicals like sodium bicarbo- nate of different concentrations can improve the yield of paddy if the seeds are soaked before sowing. Previous experiments conducted at Paddy Breeding Station, Coimbatore (1949-'51) by soaking seed in 10 and 20 per cent of potassium metaphosphate and 13 per cent of magnesium chloride and magnesium sulphate showed 10-13 per cent increase in yield in the case of potassium metaphosphate. Narayanan and Gopalakrislınan (1949) conducted pot culture experiments with rice seed, and obtained 21.1 per cent and 38.8 per cent increase in grain yield by soaking seed in 10 and 20 per cent solution of K, PO, respectively and 10.9 per cent increase with 20 per cent solution of K, HPO,. Ghose et al (1956) have reported that soaking rice sced in 10 and 20 per cent solution of K, HPO, gave 8 to 9 per cent increase in yield.

Sugarcane Development in Madras State for Maximising Production
Authors:   Directore, Sugarcane Breading Institute,Coimbatore 641 007,Tamil Nadu., J THULJARAM RAO
Published: October 2023

The State of Madras is happily situated climatically with regard to the growth of sugarcane and excepting in the hilly district of the Nilgiris, sugarcane is being grown in all the other districts. The heavy concentration of area is in the districts of South Arcot, North Arcot, Tiruchirapalli and Coimbatore. There is a slight climatic disadvantage for the State from the point of recovery of sugar and jaggery. The temperature during the ripening period is not low enough for the cane to cease its vegetative growth and divert its energies for the accumulation of sugar. Thus, given similar conditions, the State of Maharashtra and the northern parts of Mysore and Andhra Pradesh have an advantage over Madras from the climatic point of view for higher recovery. It is thus essential that the slight disadvantage in the lower recovery should be made up by higher yields through varieties, fertilisation, irrigation and other cultural practices, thereby producing maximum of sugar/jaggery per acre.

Authors:   Head of the Regional Research Station, I.C.A.R Coimbatore, V SANTHANAM
Published: October 2023

India oscupies the foremost position among the cotton growing countries of the world in respect of acreage with an annual area of 19 to 20 million acres. However, the country ranks only fourth in total production estimated around 58 lakh bales.at present and valued at about Rs. 300 crores. Cotton is one of the most important commercial crops in India occupying a leading place in the agricultural and industrial economy. The value of actual exports of raw cotton and finished cotton goods is of the order of Rs. 72 crores per year. The country imports about eight lakh bales of extra-long and long staple cotton valued at Rs. 50 to 60 crores per year.

Storage of gur specially during the monsoon is a difficult problem, as the gur stored undergoes heavy deterioration in quality and loss in weight by the running out of molasses mainly due to the absorp- tion of the moisture in the surrounding atmosphere. On account of moisture absorption, the gur becomes very soft and sticky and gets partially or completely liquified. Thus, the original shape, hardness and crystalline structure of gur, are completely lost. Absorption of moisture also simulta- neously increases the activities of micro-organisms as a result of which a considerable quantity of sucrose gets inverted which in turn accelerates the absorption of more and more moisture. Based on the above phenomena, an attempt has been made in this paper to establish a relationship between moisture in gur and other chemical criteria like reducing sugars, polarisation and total sugars during the period of storage.

Published: October 2023

At the present day, agriculture as a science and as an industry, has made such rapid strides, that it is difficult if not impossible to confine oneself to one particular aspect of it without referring to other branches that doretail into it. And today again, not only the technician and the scientist, but also the general public have been caught by an awareness of the immensity and complexity of the problem that modern agriculture is. This awareness is reflected in the changed attitude of people in many countries to agriculture. The people of the world are now well seized of the fact which several years ago was voiced only by the knowledgeable few, that the rate of increase of agricultural production lias not kept pace with the rate of increase of the population. Unless drastic and emergent measures are taken, humanity will have to face a crisis of unpredictable magnitude. No wonder, people have come to recognise, agriculture as a technical subject, even as engineering and medicine are, and today, we see the emergence of a technical approach to the problem.

"The proper amount of soil moisture during the different stages of plant development is the most potent single factor making for a high crop yield" is the general conclusion drawn by Sawhney and Sikka (1960) in their monograph on "Physiology Cotton in India". The importance of the role played by soil moisture should really be highly significant in the case of K.2 and K.5 strains of Karunganni, which have been evolved specially for the dryland areas of the Southern and Central districts of the Madras State. Under the All India Co-ordinated Crop Weather Scheme, these two strains of cotton are cultivated at the Central Farm; Coimbatore from 1948-49 onwards. The data collected for thirteen years from 1951-52 to 1963-64 have been critically examined in this paper to assess the influence of soil moisture at different depths of 3", 6" and 12" on the growth and yield of K.2 and K.5 strains of cotton.
Back crossing technique in interspecific hybridization in Gossypium
Authors:   Super Intendent Agricultural University, Bhavanisagar 638 541 Tamilnadu., R APPADURAI
Published: October 2023

The theory of back-crossing: Back-crossing is crossing of F.1 hybrid with either of its parents. That parent of the hybrid with which it is again crossed, or with which it is repeatedly crossed is the back-cross parent or recurrent parent the other parent being the donor parent or non-recurrent parent (Knight, 1948) The principle involved in the use of the back-cross technique is the simple one of reducing the amount of genetic variance in the material in which selection is to be practised (Hutchinson et al, 1938). Thus, relatively small population need only be raised to select out the desirable genotype, if back-crossing is resorted, to.

During the last 25 years and more, a tremendous amount of research work in agriculture and allied sciences has been done in many countries. Specialists in each branch of study have made valuable contributions to existing knowledge and quite often their results have revolutionised present concepts. The base exchange phenomena in soils, the assimilation of nutrients by plants, the action of different fertilisers on crops under different conditions of soil and climate, the evolution of high yielding varieties, and the efficiency of pesticides and fungicides have all been studied in great detail. Recognis- ing the importance of water as a limiting factor in crop production, special attention has been paid to irrigation agronomy and to problems arising therefrom, like water requirement of crops, salinity, drainage, and the development of diversified cropping under irrigated conditions.

Synthetic organic nitrogeneous fertilizers are usually preferred to ammoniacal and nitrate ones in places of high rainfall to inhibit leaching losses of nitrogen. In Madras State wherever a high analysis nitrogeneous fertilizer is to be used the choice is generally for urea. But of late, urea formaldehyde a synthetic product obtained by allowing urea and formaldehyde to react in various proportions has come into use. In countries like America where it is manufactured for fertilising the land, the product contains 37 per cent nitrogen. In India, it is obtained as a bye-product in plastic industries and the product analyses to 19 per cent total nitrogen. In the present work, fertilizer uren with 46 per cent nitrogen is compared with urea formaldehyde.

Published: October 2023

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), a free floating fresh water weed is recognised as one of the world's worst aquatic weeds (Penfound and Earla, 1948). Its fast spread and multiplication in India warrants attention (Sen, 1947 and Sundaram and Mehta, 1960). Of several methods adopted for its control, the use of chemical weed killers have proved to be by far the most effective and economical (Sen, 1961.) Among chemicals used for control of water hyacinth, the amine formulations of 2, 4-dichlorophen- oxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) have gained prominence (Hitchcock et al, 1949 and 1950; Seale et al, 1946; Sundaram and Mehta loccit; Zimmerman et al 1950). Recently, it has been reported that 3-amino-1, 2, 4-triazole (ATA) offers better control than possible with 2, 4-D amines, (Seaman 1961). It was hence of interest to make a comparative study on the effectiveness of 2, 4-D amine and ATA in the control of water hyacinth. This paper summaries the observations made and their implications.
A Preliminary Study on the Occurrence of Double Bolls in Cotton and its Relationship on Growth and Earliness
Authors:   Cotton Assitant,Agricultural College and Reserch Institute,Coimbatore  641 003, M KADAMBAVANASUNDARAM
Published: October 2023

The yield of a cotton plant is a complex character governed by many factors. Number of bolls per plant, number of locks per boll, number of seeds per lock, size of the boll and retentivity are some of the important characters that are commonly correlated with plant yield. The increase in number of bolls per plant in turn depends on the number of fruiting points with high retentivity. The flowers in cotton are usually extra-axillary, terminal and solitary, but the rare occurrence of two flowers on a fruiting point developing into normal bolls have also been recorded. The breeding behaviour of this character was studied by various workers and was recorded to be genic in nature. The bearing and growth behaviour will be useful for isolating a high yielding type and with this end in view, the present study has been undertaken.
Price Spread of Agricultural Commodities
Authors:   State Marketing Officer, Madras, K SRIRAMAN
Published: October 2023

The difference between the price paid by the consumer and the price received by the producer of an agricultural commodity, is termed as the Price Spread'. This price spread usually represents the cost of marketing and includes charges incurred for handling, transport and assembling besides the profits appropriated by the middlemen. Price spread studies enable ascertaining the marketing costs, with a view to find out ways and means of lessening the same for the benefit of both the growers and the consumers. Even in advanced countries like United States of America and England, where the farmers are more enlightened, the share of the consumer's price received by the producer is only about 50 per cent at times. To encourage the agriculturists to produce more, it is imperative that we should create conditions wherein the producer may be able to get a larger share of the consumer's rupee. Hence, these price spread studies are important and necessary, so that the bottlenecks in marketing may be eschewed and a scientific assessment of the need and efficiency of the various agencies employed in marketing may be made.

The use of organic manures in crop production is known from time immemorial. Organic manures include different oilcakes with nitrogen content ranging from 2-5 to 6-2 per cent and organic waste of animal origin like dried blood, slaughter-house refuse and fish manure, where the nitrogen content ranges from four to ten per cent. But the largest source of organic manures comprise farm yard manure, compost and green manure. These bulky organic manures, which contribute to a great deal to the organic matter content of the soil, are very necessary for soil fertility. In cultivated soils of the tropics and subtropics the organic matter content is very low because of the rapid and continuous oxidative decomposition taking place. If crop production has to be maintained, the loss of organic matter has to be periodically supplemented to keep up the organic matter content in the soil which is very necessary for soil fertility.

Chillies (Capsicum annuum Linn) is an important condiment and spice crop which is of commercial importance in Madras State. It is cultivated in an area of 67,100 hectares, normally with an estimated average production of 87,600 tonnes. The southern region, consisting of Madurai, Ramanathapuram and Tirunelveli districts has more than 50 per cent of the area under chillies in Madras State. In Madras State, chillies are raised mainly as an irrigated crop during the North East monsoon period. The crop is sown in September and retained in the field till May. There are pockets where the crop is also raised in summer season during April and in South West monsoon period during June. The green chillies are usually consumed as a vegetable, locally. The dry chillies are commercially more important and are marketed through important centres for internal consumption and also a small portion is exported to Ceylon, Indonesin etc.

Published: October 2023

Mango is the most popular fruit in the orient, particularly in India. Among the many insects which are known to occur on the mango plant, the commonly known Nutweevil' or Stone weevil' is the important one. The insect is a specific pest on mango. The grubs and adults feed on the endocarp of the fruit and hasten the maturity of the fruits resulting in the fruitfall from the trees. Recently, the import of Indian mangoes into U. S. A. has been withhold for the reason that the pest might be introduced into U. S. A. where the insect is not prevalent. This fact drew the attention of the Government and the Ento- mologists in India and studies were initiated on the different aspects of the pest. Investigations on the nutweevil's varietal incidence on mango and its chemical control were carried out for two years and the results are presented in this paper.

Dolichos lab lab L., is an important pulse crop in Madras State. During August, 1965 a ring spot disense was observed on D. lab lab (Fig. 1) in the experimental plots of the Millet Breeding Station, Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore. The disease was found to affect both the garden (D. lab lab L., var. typicus Prain) as well as the field beans (D. lab lab L., var. lignosus Prain). The ring spots were about 2-5 mm in diameter with concentric rings surrounding an island of apparently normal tissue. On older leaves the rings appeared to fade away giving the leaves more or less a mosaic appearance. So far, only a few viruses have been described as naturally occurring on Dolichos. Nour and Nour (1962) reported a mosaic disease of Dolichos lab lab (hyacinth bean) in Northern Sudan. A ring spot mottle virus was reported to occur in Peking by Cheo and Tsai (1959). In India Capoor and Varma (1948) reported from Poona a mosaic disease on D. lab lab, which they described as Dolichos enation mosaic. In the year 1950 the same authors reported the occurrence of another disease on D. lab lab from Poona which they named Dolichos yellow mosaic. In India apart from these two records, there appears to be no other report on the natural occurrence of virus diseases on this crop. Studies were carried out on the transmission, host range and physical properties of the virus and the results obtained are described in this paper.

Manuring cotton, especially with nitrogenous fertilisers, has been established to increase yields appreciably (Panse and Khana, 1953; Neelakantan, Kamalanathan and Krishnamurthy, 1950; Kanniyan and Krishnamurthy, 1964; Srinivasa Iyengar and Kottur, 1964) and 45 kg nitrogen per hectare is the recommeded dose for irrigated Cambodia cotton in Madras State (Kamalanathan and Nagarajan, 1961). But Ramachandran et al (1964) have recommended 67.5 kg N per hectare for irrigated Winter Cambodia cotton. With increasing demand for and consequent shortage of ammonium sulphate, it became necessary to switch over to other nitrogenous fertilisers. With this end in view, an experiment was laid out at Coimbatore to test the efficacy of various nitrogenous fertilisers and the results are presented.

Published: October 2023

E-learning systems are one of the effective methods used for education. It is obvious that both during the Pandemic period when distance education is actively used and in normal life, participants apply to e-learning systems to follow lessons or improve themselves. Computer and internet applications are getting into education more and more day by day. Education through e-learning, which can work online or offline, is more and more effective every day. Thanks to these systems, education becomes more transparent, accessible and fairly distributed. Since many criteria will have an impact on the selection of a suitable e-learning system, these criteria were determined in the study and presented to expert opinions. In the selection of e-learning systems, 10 criteria were selected by literature review and the criteria were conveyed to the experts. The criteria were listed using the fuzzy AHP method. The most effective criterion in the study was found to be interaction. This criterion is followed by ease of use, content and reliability criteria.

The sampling of the research consists of 390 education administrators and teachers with different statuses. Using the easily accessible sampling technique, the types of official primary, secondary and different high schools in the central province of Van were determined. The scale draft was applied to the education administrators and teachers determined by using the purposeful cluster sampling method. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistical analysis methods. Validity analyzes and reliability analyzes of the obtained data were made. As a result of the analysis, the scale consisted of 4 factors and 32 items, and item factor loads consisted of values between “.61” and “.87”. It was determined that the resulting factors explained the perception of obtaining legal power by 77.46%. The fit index values of the scale reveals that the scale provides construct validity. While the scale's internal consistency coefficient was found to be ".95", the test-retest reliability coefficient was determined as ".92". The findings show that the developed scale can be used as a measurement tool with its validity and reliability.

Published: October 2023

This research aims to examine the predictive relationship between the economic, social and cultural level index (ESCS) and academic achievement in the context of PISA 2018 Turkey sample. Research used secondary data analysis, a quantitative research method. In this regard, advanced analyzes were carried out in line with the new and different research questions on the data set obtained for the Turkish sample within the scope of PISA 2018. The sample of the research consists of 186 schools representing 12 regions and 6890 students representing these schools, which were selected in two stages by random stratified sampling from students in the 15-age group and continuing formal education in 2018. The findings revealed that the ESCS index is an important predictor of students' reading, mathematics and science scores in terms of both public and private schools. According to the findings, ESCS index explains greater variance in terms of academic achievement within the sample of private schools. The research also showed that the ICT resources index has emerged as a more effective predictor of academic success compared to the other sub-variables of ESCS such as educational resources index, parent education level and parent professional level.
Examination of the Variables Explaining School Effectiveness by CHAID Analysis
Authors: YÜNER Berna
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT: In parallel with the increase in social expectations regarding education and its outcomes, studies on school effectiveness continue unabated. The ability of educational organizations to provide qualitatively higher education has become the focus of the researches. In this direction, school governance, the adaptation of governance principles to educational organizations, has come to the fore. The purpose of this research is to examine school effectiveness and to determine the significant variables in explaining school effectiveness. The study group of this research consists of 502 teachers working in Yozgat. Within the scope of this research, CHAID analysis was used to explain school effectiveness with school governance with the factors -participation, transparency, rule of law - and teachers' demographic variables. In terms of demographic variables, teachers' age, gender, union membership, education degree, seniority, working time with the current manager, year of employment at the current school were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the first significant variable in explaining school effectiveness was rule of law. Participation was found to be the second significant variable in predicting school effectiveness. It was inferred from the finding that adopting accountability within the rule of law dimension at school means taking steps to monitor the school's performance. Therefore, the rule of law has an impact on school effect. Furthermore, it was observed that accountability and equality practices positively affect school effectiveness. Based on the results, it was concluded that that better school performance can be increased depending on good governance practices like of the rule of law and following a participatory policy.

Authors: FIRAT Tahsin , KOYUNCU İlhan
Published: October 2023

The aim of the present study was to examine the factor affecting reading performance of the students in a broad sense. The sample was comprised of a total of 752076 students who participated in PISA studies from OECD member countries during the years of 2000 (n = 159095), 2009 (n = 298454) and 2018 (n = 294527) in which reading literacy was the major domain of interest. The causal relationships were examined by using a series of multiple linear regressions by using IDB Analyzer software which creates syntaxes that replicate the analysis 80 times for each plausible value and calculate the average values by taking into account the student weights as suggested in the PISA manuals. The results revealed that enjoyment of reading (at 91%, 100%, and 56% of countries in 2000, 2009, and 2018, respectively), and index of economic, social, and cultural status (at 81%, 91%, and 91% of countries in 2000, 2009, and 2018, respectively) were ranked among the most significant variables that predict reading literacy in all three PISA cycles.

With the growing worry over pollution in the environment, the necessity to comprehend this phenomenon has multiplied. Not only that, the economic gain made in the last decade, along with the fast growth of the world population, has come at a huge environmental cost. One of the never-ending issues is carbon dioxide emission and notably, the construction sector is no exception to mean to contribute through many development activities. Therefore, this study focuses on the compressibility behaviour of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) treated kaolin clay due to carbonation. This study discusses the effect of carbonation on GGBS-treated kaolin as an effort to use sustainable materials which able to improve the geotechnical properties of soil and safe to say, help to reduce the emission of CO2. Testing program via one-dimensional consolidation test found that the compressibility characteristics improved as increased the GGBS content. Overall, the results illustrate that higher GGBS content and longer curing period gives lower compressibility characteristic. It was also found that the carbonated kaolin sample further improve the compressibility characteristics as compared to ambient condition of treated kaolin sample. In conclusion, GGBS can improve the compressibility characteristic of kaolin with carbonation consideration.

The article focuses on studying the theoretical framework of the connectedness between many stock markets and the Bitcoin market with a specific review in Vietnamese market. With a desk-based approach, content aspects are focused on including a research overview of financial contagion and inter-market relationship. The majority of the related researches confirmed that the contagion between Bitcoin and stock market existed in many different contexts. The two most popular mechanisms for the spillover effect analyzed in these studies were safe-haven characteristic and investor behavior. If Bitcoin could serve as a safe – haven, investors tended to shift the portfolio from stock to this crypto in case of a downtrend leading to the movement of cash flow out of stock market. On the other hand, when investors had sentiment on Bitcoin value, they would prefer investing more in this crypto to holding only securities, which also results in a contagion between two markets.
