A field experiment was conducted on clay loam soils of the Indian Institute of Rice Research, Hyderabad, Telangana, during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2017 and 2018, to study the performance of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars under different irrigation regimes and systems of cultivation. The treatments consisted of 2 irrigation regimes, viz. alternate wetting and drying (AWD), and saturation as main plot treatments, while 3 systems of cultivation, viz. system of rice intensification (SRI), drum seeding (DS) and normal transplanting (NT) as subplot treatments and assessed 4 cultivars, viz. ‘DRR Dhan 42’, ‘DRR Dhan 43’, ‘MTU 1010’ and ‘NLR 34449’ as sub-subplot treatments. Total 24 treatment combinations were laid out in split-plot design with 3 replications. Application of water through the AWD method saved around 11–14% of the total water requirement during the crop-growth period. Irrigation by AWD resulted in significantly higher irrigation water productivity and water-use efficiency (WUE). The SRI method required the lowest amount of water (11.61% and 13.21% less of mean applied than drum seeding and normal transplanting respectively). Significantly higher water productivity and WUE were registered with SRI. ‘DRR Dhan 43’ recorded higher water productivity as well as WUE as compared to the other cultivars during both the years of study owing to higher productivity.

Worldwide, urban centers have continued to see exceptional increase in spatial urban growth since more than 50 years ago in the majority of emerging countries. Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, is hardly discussed despite being one of the cities in Nigeria that is quickly urbanizing. In order to establish a justification for good governance in the pursuit of environmental sustainability, the article examines challenges related to urban growth and environmental sustainability in the Osogbo Capital Territory. Four Hundred and Fifty (450) questionnaires were distributed among the residents of six (6) residential areas and 384 questionnaires were retrieved, representing 85.33%, ergo judged fit for analysis of this study. Using a Stratified Random Sampling Techniques in order to ensure a fair representation of different socio-economic groups in Osogbo, Primary Data were obtained from field surveys with the administration of questionnaires across the Three (3) neighborhood strata to include: Core Area, Intermediate Area and New Areas. A pilot survey was conducted to test the reliability of the research instruments which paved the way for the refinement of the final questionnaire. The study used the severity index test of association, mean weighted score, and percentage-based descriptive methodology. The analysis's findings indicated that urban population growth had a big impact on environmental sustainability in terms of the state of the infrastructure and facilities, people's satisfaction with the facilities that are currently available, and the environmental issues in the neighborhood that was chosen. In order to maintain our cities and ensure the future well-being of inhabitants, the paper consequently advises proper methods of crucial policies to be held in order to achieve sustainable development, as this will further promote sustainability of Nigerian cities.

15 Temmuz 1974’te Kıbrıs meselesi geri dönüşü olmayan bir yola girmiş, Kıbrıs Cumhurbaşkanı Makarios’a darbe düzenlenmiş ve yerine Enosis’i ilan etmek üzere Nikos Sampson getirilmiştir. Daha önce yaşanan Kıbrıs olaylarında Türk halkını katledenler arasında bulunan ve Omorfo Kasabı olarak bilinen Sampson’ın göreve getirilmesi Kıbrıs Türk halkında endişeye neden olmuştur. Türk Hükümeti Kıbrıs’ta yaşanan olaylar karşısında hemen harekete geçmiş, Garanti Antlaşması’ndan doğan haklarını kullanmak üzere önce diplomatik girişimlerde bulunmuş ancak bir sonuç elde edilememesi üzerine hızla askeri müdahale kararı alınmıştır. 20 Temmuz 1974’te Kıbrıs Barış Harekâtı başlamış, TCG Kocatepe de Deniz Kuvvetlerinden verilen emir doğrultusunda harekata katılmıştır. Harekatın ikinci gününde alınan istihbarat doğrultusunda Yunanistan’ın Kıbrıs’a gemiler gönderdiği öğrenilmiştir. Genelkurmay Başkanlığında yapılan görüşmeler sonucunda bu gemilere müdahale edilmesine karar verilmiştir. Yapılan planlamaya göre Hava Kuvvetleri ve Deniz Kuvvetleri’nin ortak harekât düzenlemesi kararlaştırılmıştır. Ancak muhabere eksiklikleri ve alınan istihbaratın tam teyit edilmeden harekata kalkışılması sonucunda Türk uçakları, Türk gemilerini vurmuş ve harekât, TCG Kocatepe’nin dost ateşiyle batmasıyla sona ermiştir. Çalışma TCG Kocatepe muhribinin batışına ve Türk siyasi tarihindeki gizemine odaklanmaktadır.

Published: December 2023

Banana corm left in the field reserved high organic content which can nourish the soil as a compost and as a plant material for propagation. Due to less interest shown to these left-over corms their reserved content has never been estimated or used for generating propagules therefore this experiment was conducted to evaluated amylase activity, soluble protein, protein content, soluble sugar and starch of thirty-three corms of different banana genotypes belonging to three different genomic composition. The amylase activity in the corms of the genotypes varied between 0.02 μg in Robusta Clone II (AAA) and 0.80μg in Green Bombay (ABB) of maltose g-1 of fresh tissue min-1. The soluble sugar level in the corms of the genotypes varied between 0.99% in Robusta Clone-II (AAA) and 7.5% in Champa-IV (AAB). The starch level in the corms of the genotypes varied 64.63% in Champa-IV (AAB) and 77.06% in Lacaton (AAA). The soluble protein level in the corms of the genotypes varied between 0.11% in Poovan –B9 (AAB) and 2.59% in Lacaton (AAA). The crude protein content in the corms of the genotypes varied between 1.07% in Champa-IV (AAB) and 6.64% in Alpan-Manhar (AAB). This composition state that post-harvest banana corm has sufficient organic content reserved in it which can be used either for promoting propagules or making organic compost.

Published: December 2023

The present study was carried out to estimate genetic variability parameters, heritability (in broad sense), genetic advance as percentage of mean and character association in F2 generation of five chickpea crosses under irrigated and rainfed conditions for yield and its components traits. The estimates of these parameters will help us to decide selection criteria for improvement of seed yield in chickpea. Significant differences were observed among the crosses and generations for all the characters under both the conditions. The highest range of variation was observed for 100 seed weight followed by seed yield per plant, biological yield per plant, seeds per pod and plant height in irrigated condition, while in rainfed condition the highest range of variation was registered for 100 seed weight followed by days to 50% flowering, fruiting branches per plant, seed yield per plant, days to maturity and harvest index. Hence, selection should be done on characters having wide range of variation under the respective environmental condition. Phenotypic variance was higher than the corresponding genotypic variance for all the characters studied under both the conditions, indicating more contribution of environment in the phenotypic appearance of the traits than their genetic makeup. The high estimates of GCV and PCV were obtained for fruiting branches per plant, pods per plant, seeds per pod, biological yield per plant, seed yield per plant and 100 seed weight in most of the crosses under both the conditions. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percentage of mean was observed for pods per plant in most of the crosses under both the conditions. RSG-895 × RSG-888 showed high heritability coupled with high GAM for seed yield per plant and harvest index, CSJD-901 × RSG-931 for seed yield per plant, RSG-888 × ICC-4958 for harvest index under irrigated condition indicated the importance of additive gene action in the inheritance of these characters; hence, selection based on phenotypic performance would be effective for improvement of these characters. Seed yield per plant had positive and significant correlation with fruiting branches per plant, pods per plant, biological yield per plant, harvest index and 100 seed weight under both the conditions and with plant height in rainfed condition only. So selection based on these characters is expected to bring improvement in the seed yield of chickpea.

Published: December 2023

This study delves into the multifaceted impact of climate change on soils subjected to shifting cultivation practices. Our findings reveal a complex interplay of both beneficial and adverse effects on the physical, chemical, and biological attributes of soils. Moreover, climate change exacerbates these detrimental impacts by inducing significant alterations in soil characteristics. Specifically, our study underscores that shifting cultivation practices, particularly those employing short fallow cycles, can pose a considerable threat to soil health when subjected to changing climatic conditions. In such scenarios, shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns have the potential to magnify the adverse consequences of shifting cultivation on soils, ultimately outweighing any positive influences. This study highlights the critical need for sustainable land management strategies, especially in the face of climate change, to preserve and enhance soil health and resilience in shifting cultivation regions.

Published: December 2023

Traditional manual harvesting methods for cauliflower are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly, and non-selective harvesting often leads to significant yield losses due to immature curds being harvested. To address these challenges, there is growing interest in developing selective cauliflower harvesters that can accurately identify and harvest mature and healthy cauliflower heads while minimizing damage and waste. This research paper focuses on the determination of design parameters for an efficient and adaptive selective cauliflower harvester based on a comprehensive understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of cauliflower plants. Two cauliflower varieties, Pusa Meghna, and Pusa Sharad, were studied to measure various physical properties such as plant width, height, curd diameter, curd depth, stalk diameter, stalk length, and stalk moisture content. Additionally, cutting force was measured to design the cutting unit of the harvester. The results revealed that design parameters, including frame height, width, length, cutter length, and cutter height, should be tailored to the specific physical properties of cauliflower plants to optimize the selective harvesting process. This research contributes valuable insights to the advancement of agricultural robotics and engineering, laying the groundwork for the development of sophisticated selective cauliflower harvesters.

The present study was carried out in eight districts of Haryana state. The outcomes of the study were explained after completing a field survey in which a total of 480 farmers (60 from each district) were interviewed using a well-structured interview schedule. The results were visualized that in comparison to manufacturing industries and renewable energy production, respondents in the study had a high level of awareness about the possible use of straw in agriculture especially in live-stock feeding and in making of compost and vermi-compost. They were also well aware about the use of straw in paper making and in bio-fuel production. The major constraints reported were ‘straw of paddy delay in wheat sowing’, ‘non-availability of suitable technology’ and ‘high cost of residue management machines’. Management constraints were ranked first among the various types of constraints, followed by financial and then technical constraints. Farmers were also aware about benefits of straw management i.e. straw management helps in controlling carbon emission and improving soil health.

Food security and public health are becoming major concerns for the global leaders due to climate change. The uneven distribution of rainfall and temperature has increased the global food demand with quality food. The current study was carried out for analysis of genetic diversity among 64 bread wheat genotypes for heat tolerance based on 21 morpho-physiological traits. The sixty four genotypes were grouped into five different clusters. Maximum number of genotypes was in cluster V (17) with lowest intra cluster distance (3.866) followed by cluster II (15), I (14), III and IV (each having 9 genotypes). Genotypes of cluster IV and I were more genetically diverse due to maximum inter cluster distance between them (8.873). The cluster II was designated as “highly tolerant” while cluster I and V as “moderately tolerant” and “highly sensitive” respectively, to heat stress on the basis of comparison of cluster mean values for yield and its major contributing traits like, peduncle length, flag leaf length, grain filling duration and so on. By collating their mean performance, the genotypes P-13348, P-13676, P-13820 and P- 14114 were found to be more heat tolerant in cluster II. Similarly, genotypes P-13808, P-13638 and P-14050 were found more moderately tolerant among cluster I genotypes and genotypes P-14106, P-14112 and P-14121 were most sensitive among the cluster V genotypes to terminal heat stress.

Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth is a high-altitude medicinal herb belonging to the family Scrophulariaceae, commonly called Kutki. It secretes various active constituents which impart pharmaceutical value to the plant. The roots and rhizomes of this plant are used for their health benefits since ancient times. Looking at the endangered status of the plant species, the present study was conducted on the leaves of Picrorhiza kurroa. The leaf samples were collected from two sites, Pothivasa (2200 masl) and Tungnath (3600 masl), Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand India. The leaf extracts were prepared using different solvents like petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone, ethanol and methanol and screened for phytochemicals. Quantitative estimation of a few phytochemicals found in the leaf extracts of P. kurroa from Pothivasa (PVLE) and Tungnath (TNLE) was performed. The leaf extracts were further tested for their antibacterial potential. The qualitative screening of all the leaf extracts showed that the maximum number of phytochemicals were present in the methanolic leaf extract of P. kurroa from Pothivasa (Met-PVLE) and the methanolic leaf extract of P. kurroa from Tungnath (Met- TNLE). The quantitative analysis showed that the alkaloid content was 20.23±1.2% in PVLE and 23.73±1.69% in TNLE. The flavonoid content was 8.54±0.43% in PVLE and 17.43±1.72% in TNLE, and Terpenoid content was 18.6±1.02% and 6.1±0.26% in PVLE and TNLE samples, respectively. The saponin content was 12.4±0.05% in PVLE and 16.6±0.45% in TNLE. The total phenolic content (Gallic acid equivalent mg/g) was measured to be 45.99±2.19 mg/g in PVLE and 80.77±2.65 mg/g in TNLE. This study confirms that the leaves of Picrorhiza kurroa contain many vital phytochemicals, which implies that along with the roots and rhizomes, leaves of P. kurroa also impart medicinal value to this plant. Met-PVLE and Met-TNLE showed significant antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Enterobacter sp., Acinetobacter sp., and Pseudomonas sp. Further studies can be performed to identify and isolate bioactive compounds from leaf samples of P. kurroa.

Local maize landraces are generally less yielders. Farmers have been cultivating and consuming local maize available in their areas due to specific color and taste of the grains. Only a few attempts were made by the researchers to study the nutritional status in north eastern maize, there was a lot of scope to study the local maize germplasm of the north eastern region for various nutritional compositions further. Considering the above, the following research study was undertaken. The six germplasm and their corresponding S1 progenies along with check were analyzed for estimation of the nutritional traits viz., crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, crude fiber, ash, iron and zinc. The mean value for a replicate for each entry in respect of a trait was used for analysis of data in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two replications. Analysis of variance reveals that the estimates of mean square due to germplasm were significant to highly significant for the traits viz., iron (mg /100 g), zinc (mg /100 g), moisture content (%), crude protein (%), crude fat (%), carbohydrate plus crude fiber (%) and ash (%) indicating sufficient variation among the thirteen entries tested. The result showed ARY2 exhibited high carbohydrate content, crude protein and zinc content.

Published: December 2023

The effect of different methods of seed collection on seed viability and vigour of Prinsepia utilis Royle (bhekal) were studied. Bhekal fruits were collected using two methods: (a) directly from plant branches (green, purple-green, and violet fruits) and (b) fruits collected from the ground under the plant (fallen fruits and fruits eaten by birds). Data collected were arc-sin transformed before being subjected to a two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The Least Significant Difference (LSD) was used to compare the significantly different treatment means at a 5% probability level. Seeds collected directly from the branches showed significant differences from fruits collected from the ground under the plant in terms of germination percentage (G%), mean germination time (MGT days), and germination value (GV). The fruits directly collected from branches don’t show any significant difference regarding germination percentage and mean germination time. Violet fruits showed maximum germination value as compared to green and purple-green fruits. There were no significant differences in fruits collected from the ground and fruit eaten by birds in terms of germination percentage, mean germination time, and germination value. Seeds collected directly from branches- violet showed a maximum mean viability period (P50) of 72 days compared to all.

Proficiency in mathematics is critical to success academically, economically, and in life. Greater success in math is related to entering and completing college, earning more in adulthood, and making more optimal decisions concerning health. Knowledge of math begins to develop at a young age, and this early knowledge matters: Knowledge of math at or before school entry predicts outcomes in math and reading across primary and secondary school. More than one children struggle to learn math. For example, only 60% of fourth-grade and 55% of eighth-grade students in the United States performed at or above proficiency in math on the 2020 National Assessment of Educational Progress, and proficiency rates were even lower for African-American and Hispanic children and for children from low-income homes. More than one students do not master challenging math content. Developing strong knowledge about mathematics is important for success academically, economically, and in life, but more than one children fail to become proficient in math. Research on the developmental relations between conceptual and procedural knowledge of math provides insights into the development of knowledge about math. First, competency in math requires children to develop conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and procedural flexibility. Second, conceptual and procedural knowledge often develop in a bidirectional, iterative fashion, with improvements in one type of knowledge supporting improvements in the other, as well as procedural flexibility. Third, learning techniques such as comparing, explaining, and exploring promote more than one type of knowledge about math, indicating that each is an important learning process. Researchers need to develop and validate measurement tools, devise more comprehensive theories of math development, and bridge more between research and educational practice.
