Authors: YILMAZ Arzum , ÇETİNER Sedat
Published: November 2022

Mandibula kırıkları, maksillofasiyal bölgede burun,orbita,zigomadan sonra dördüncü en sık görülen kırıklardır. Patolojik kırıklar ise genellikle osteomyelitis, osteoradyonektoz, BRONJ bulunan bölgelere ya da kistik lezyonlar, benign, malign veya metastatik tümörlerin bulunduğu bölgelere yapılan cerrahi müdahalelerden (üçüncü molar diş çekimi, implant uygulaması, kist tümör operasyonu gibi) sonra meydana gelir. Kemik defektleri yaygın ve birçok klinik durumda ortaya çıkabilen bir durumdur. Kritik boyut defektleri kendi haline bırakıldığında veya cerrahi olarak stabilize edildiğinde spontan iyileşme gösteremeyen, kemik dolumu gerçekleşmeyen fibröz doku ile iyileşme gösteren boyuttaki defektler olarak adlandırılırlar. Hekimlerin patolojik kırık oluşma nedenleri ve defektlerin yönetimi konusunda bilgi sahibi olması risk faktörlerinin azaltılması ve uygun tedavi planlamasının belirlenmesi açısından oldukça önem arz etmektedir.

Published: November 2022

Jalan Braga merupakan salah satu jalan populer di kota Bandung. Pada awalnya jalan ini digunakan untuk mengangkut kopi dari gudang ke jalan Raya Pos. Seiring dengan meningkatnya kondisi perekonomian kota, jalan ini kemudian berubah menjadi sebuah kawasan komersial. Bangunan-bangunan di sepanjang jalan bertransformasi menjadi restaurant, hotel, rumah-toko, theater dengan gaya art deco yang menyediakan berbagai kebutuhan masyarakat Belanda. Pada awal abad ke 20 jalan ini menjadi shopping street terpenting di Hindia Belanda sehingga Bandung dijuluki Parijs van Java. Sejalan dengan kemajuan teknologi, sosial dan pergeseran gaya hidup dibangunlah beberapa Department Store dan Mall di kota Bandung yang berdampak terhadap kemunduran jalan Braga. Berkurangnya jumlah pengunjung menjadikan koridor Braga kusam dan bangunan-bangunannya dibiarkan kosong dan terbengkalai, salah satunya adalah Hotel Braga. Hotel Braga yang semula bernama Hotel Wilhelmina didirikan tahun 1928-1931 dan telah dinyatakan sebagai bangunan cagar budaya kelas B. Dengan menerapkan konsep adaptive reuse, makalah ini akan memaparkan upaya revitalisasi yang dilakukan pada Hotel Braga. Apakah fungsi baru dari Hotel Braga? Bagaimana bentuk adaptasi sebagai upaya pertahanan? Adaptive reuse dinilai sebagai sebuah konsep yang tepat diterapkan untuk mempertahankan dan merevitalisai bangunan dan kawasan lama. Dengan konsep ini diyakini bangunan dan kawasan cagar budaya sebagai warisan bangsa dapat dipertahankan dengan baik.

The Experience and Performance of Female Airline Pilots in Taiwan - A Tripartite Assessment
Authors: Chen Fang Yuan , Jheng Ting Jyun , Liu Daniel
Published: November 2022

The pilot profession remains one of the most notable gender-imbalanced occupations in the aviation industry, with women making up a far lower percentage than men. Nevertheless, the experiences and challenges faced by female pilots in the workplace is worth exploring. Previous studies have mostly approached these issues from the perspective of male and/or female pilots, ignoring the opinions of managers responsible for flight operations. This study fills this research gap by adding flight operations managers' assessments of female pilots to explore the topic from a broader and comprehensive tripartite perspective. In addition, gender issues in the cockpit and the impact of female pilot participation are also discussed. The research is conducted through in-depth interviews covering flight operations managers, male pilots, and female pilots in three different Taiwanese airlines. The findings of this study reveal that the performance of female pilots is generally affirmed by flight operations managers and male pilots, and the participation of female pilots produces some chemical effects on the culture of the cockpit, which also contributes to crew resource management and flight safety. Contrary to previous research findings, the female pilots interviewed in this study do not feel that they are being challenged or abused in relation to their gender. Finally, several recommendations are given to the airlines to implement CRM training programs and recruit female pilots.

Kutatásunk célja az volt, hogy kiderítsük, milyen hatással volt a járvány a magyarországi ápolók mentális egészségére a második hullám idején. A kvantitatív, leíró jellegű keresztmetszeti kutatáshoz az adatgyűjtés országos szintű online kérdőívvel történt 2021.01.26. és 2021.02.26. között. Felmértük a leterheltség, szorongás, álmatlanság, ingerlékenység és bizonytalanság szintjét a járvány előtt, alatt, és ha volt átvezénylés, annak időtartama alatt, illetve, hogy ezeket a tüneteket mi befolyásolta a leginkább. Az SPSS 25.0 és Microsoft Excel 2010 program segítségével leíró statisztika mellett χ2-próbát, ANOVA-tesztet, T-próbát alkalmaztunk (p<0,05). A 700 kitöltő eredményéből láthatjuk, hogy mind a fent említett öt tünet értéke megemelkedett a járvány hatására (p<0,0001). A megfelelő védőfelszerelés a szorongás értékét csökkentette (p=0,043). A válaszadók 11,6%-a jelölte meg azt, hogy nem folyik náluk tesztelés. Az oltási hajlandóság ebben az időben 70% volt, amit a végzettség szignifikánsan befolyásolt (p=0,039). A koronavírus-járvány jelentősen rontotta az ápolók mentális egészségét. Az időszak nehézségét az is jelzi, hogy az ápolók nagy részének nélkülöznie kellett a szociális kapcsolatait, és 60% jelölte azt, hogy eszébe jutott, hogy elhagyja az egészségügyet.

Comfort as an Incentive for Scientific Research
Authors: Vavrek Veselin
Published: November 2022

The rapid development of science, as well as changes in lifestyle, lead to the fact that the current methods of scientific work are becoming increasingly ineffective. The paper in question analyzes specific reasons why things are not good to continue in the current way, which is basically a very slightly changed medieval model. Since the times today are fundamentally different than then, it is good to update the ways of carrying out scientific activity. In addition to a theoretical analysis of the problems, the paper also considers specific projects that are directly related to the way science develops. The presentation is based on the author's experience related to a specific scientific field (mathematics, part number theory and combinatorics) and the proposals do not apply to science in general, but are rather suitable for the exact sciences and especially for mathematics.
Problems of Technological Culture Along Glocal Resocialisation of Recent Civilisational Processes
Authors: Bogdanova Galina , Pehchev Boyan , Galabova Liana
Published: November 2022

Technological culture is considered to be comprehensible as expert necessity concerning highly specialised processes of professional achievement that result in rapid improvement of social life. Unexpected results harden critical conditions that require immediate mass level of operational skills and emergently test glocal social circumstances that supposed to have been planned ahead without clear vision what, when, and how should be available as popular competence. After some cultural transition to more rhythmical everyday life, posttraumatic situation following pandemic limitations from spring 2020 will most probably rely on much higher awareness of public healthcare and hygiene, and will provide medical robotics with opportunities of immediate approval and implementation that their previous socialisation could not ever expect, as for example reorienting of human resource towards development and implementation of artificial intelligence.

Published: November 2022

Creating a sequence of hardware platforms playing the role of desktop computers (which are of increasing complexity of the technologies used in them) is a useful educational project. On the other hand, such products are completely useless from a business point of view because they are too weak compared to modern systems and therefore the implementation of the venture can only rely on scientific funding. In the present project we consider a conceptual model in which a purely educational endeavor of the described type can become one that has certain business advantages, which in turn will improve the chances of project implementation.
O PROCESSO DE FORMAÇÃO DO DISCURSO E SUA RELAÇÃO COM O INDIVÍDUO
Authors: Trindade Flávia Ferreira , Farias Fabrício de Oliveira
Published: November 2022

O presente trabalho busca investigar o processo de formação do discurso (entendido em sentido amplo, discurso do indivíduo no campo de exercício social). Haja vista, suas imbricações relativas ao controle e manipulação dos mesmos no mecanismo social, analisadas em correlação direta com a influência gerada pelas grandes instituições. O problema que emerge reside na constante vigilância e cerceamento do poder de fala dos indivíduos no âmbito social e se desdobra em dois questionamentos: i) O indivíduo é dono do seu próprio discurso do princípio ao fim de sua fala? ii) Havendo alguma condição de possibilidade de o ser, por quanto tempo? Um princípio fundamental para embasar nossa investigação é uma observação das manifestações de 2013, e suas consequências, que, apesar de, em sua grande maioria haverem transcorrido de modo pacífico, por representar um discurso de desagrado a uma instituição (política no caso) e demonstrarem a força intrínseca da mobilização popular, sua construção discursiva faria uma impressão no tecido social, que contribuiria anos depois, para sanções legais gerarem dali pra frente, extensas discussões parlamentares sobre as fundamentações argumentativas de protestos reivindicatórios e movimentos sociais, buscando estereotipá-los dentro de um contexto de terrorismo. Para além disso, há sempre uma ameaça de uso do braço armado do Estado, toda vez que um novo movimento reivindicatório começa a tomar forma. Isto acaba por moldar o discurso desses grupos, mesmo que sem sua percepção, visto que, na maioria das vezes, os mesmos almejam evitar o confronto. Tomando como aporte teórico principal algumas obras de Michel Foucault que possibilitam dialogar sobre a temática proposta. Utilizaremos (entre outras obras de demais pesquisadores), sua obra de 1969, A Arqueologia do Saber e também em sua aula inaugural no Collège de France intitulada A ordem do discurso, de 1970, que discorre acerca a relação discurso X indivíduo. A hipótese que intentamos fundamentar com nossa investigação é que uma das formas (talvez a menos percebida pelas massas, o que pode ser uma das razões de sua profícua eficácia), de controle social sobre o indivíduo seja postulada por meio da manipulação discursiva.

Authors: THOMAS R , SAIKIA M , SINGHA S , BARUAH Z , KALITA R , SAHARIA N , RAJKHOWA S
Published: November 2022

In this study, amplification of species-specific marker of mitochondrial DNA origin was carried out to detect pork in raw, processed and meat mixtures containing varying concentrations of pork, viz. 1, 10, 50, 75 and 100%. The species-specific marker for pork was tested in raw pork from different breeds/varieties of pig such as Hampshire, Yorkshire, Ghungroo, Duroc, Rani, and Asha. The size of the amplified product was 290 bp in all the breeds/ varieties. The results were consistent in processed pork products, viz. frankfurter sausage, salami, cocktail sausage, pork slice, ham, and pork curry which were subjected to different cooking temperatures ranging from 75 to 121Â°C. In case of all the mixtures with different concentrations of pork, similar results were observed. Subsequently, this marker was tested for cross-amplification by checking them with beef, carabeef, mutton, chevon, chicken, and duck meat and no amplification was observed. The results suggested that the DNA marker used in this study is highly species-specific and reliable to detect pork adulteration, unambiguously, in raw, processed as well as in meat mixtures containing pork. This technique is rapid, simple and economical as compared to other methods of pork adulteration detection.

Published: November 2022

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of thermal conditioning on serum levels of Triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and corticosterone (CORT) in four different chicken strains namely Aseel, Naked Neck, Assel × Nandanam chicken-4 and Naked Neck × Nandanam Broiler-3. Chicks were divided into control (C; ambient temperature 28±1°C) and heat exposed groups (H; 39±1°C for 2 hours; 0-2 and 5-6 weeks of age). At 12th week, control group were divided into two groups, i.e. unexposed control (C) and exposed control (CE). Birds from H group (HE) and CE group were thermally challenged at 39±1°C for 4 hours daily on 12th week. On 42nd and 84th day, blood was withdrawn from each group, serum separated and processed for T3, T4 and CORT. The results indicated that the thermal conditioning had significantly decreased T3, T4 and increased CORT levels, irrespective of strains. At thermal challenge, a drastic drop in CORT level and improvement in thyroid hormone levels were noticed in the preconditioned birds. From present study, it was concluded that, the birds are able to withstand the heat stress effect which was indicated by drop in CORT level.

Published: November 2022

The main objective of this study was to determine the association of production traits with genetic variants in exon 5 and intron 3 of bovine growth hormone (bGH) gene in Sahiwal cattle. The analyses were based on the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GH-AluI (exon 5) and GH-MspI (intron 3) using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. The frequency of AluI (L/V) and MspI (T/C) alleles were 86.20/13.70 and 89.80/9.50, respectively. The distribution of the frequency of GH genotypes for LL, LV, and VV were 73.4, 25.5, and 1.0 and for TT, TC, and CC genotypes were 80.9, 17.7, and 13.0, respectively. Season of calving had none but period of calving had significant effect on the studied production traits. The phenotypic data was adjusted for non-genetic factors and regression analysis was done. There was detectable significant effect of the GH-AluI and GH-MspI on the analyzed production traits. The cows with LL genotype had significantly higher milk yield traits than the LV genotype. Similarly, the productive performance of the studied cows with TT genotype was also significantly higher than TC and CC genotypes. Results revealed that the Sahiwal cows with LL and TT genotypes of the bGH locus can be considered to be a favourable genotype for production traits, although these findings need to be confirmed by further research before SNPs can be used in a marker assisted selection program by the animal breeder.

A model of convergence was developed and tested for mastitis control at village level in Murrah buffaloes. Village Chindar of Fatehabad district of Haryana was selected purposively. For this study 100 farmers who were registered members of the milk cooperative society and were contributing milk daily, were purposively selected. Freshly calved buffaloes (100) from December, 2018 to February, 2019 owned by these farmers were selected randomly for this study. As per the plan of work for testing the model, different types of interventions were made by multiple agencies collaborating together for testing the model. In this study, 400 milk samples of 100 healthy buffaloes were tested for somatic cell count (SCC) by california mastitis test (CMT) and milk culture analysis. Culturally positive samples were treated according to antibiotic sensitivity test (ABST) report. Besides interventions like trainings, public health campaigns, demonstration of CMT to the farmers was done individually. The experiment was repeated after 60 days by testing the milk samples for SCC and treating culturally positive samples according to ABST report which lead to decrease in SCC to the tune of 32%.

Published: November 2022

Cholesterol deficiency is a new monogenic autosomal recessive inherited defect in Holstein cattle and is associated with chronic and recurrent diarrhea followed by death of calves during the first six months of life. We have successfully screened the causative mutation for cholesterol deficiency in indigenous, exotic and crossbred cattle of India. This is the first report about the presence of APOB mutation causing calf mortality in the Indian Holstein Friesian population. The mutation associated with cholesterol deficiency was not detected in any of indigenous breeds of cattle suggesting that the mutation could be specific to Holstein Friesian breed only. The occurrence of causal mutation for cholesterol deficiency in one of the Holstein Friesian bull under study (with carrier frequency of 1.67%) clearly indicates that mutation has already been transmitted into Indian Holstein-Friesian population. In our opinion it is the right time to take stringent actions in order to check its further spread. Further, this study accentuates the need for regular screening of existing as well as importing breeding bulls, especially of Holstein-Friesian lineage, for CDH genetic defect before introduction of bulls into genetic improvement programs. It is also highly recommended that the screening for CDH mutation must be made mandatory for all the semen producing/importing agencies under the minimum standards for production of bovine semen.

The successful development and deployment of widely adapted, input responsive high yielding varieties (HYVs) in cereals along with required inputs have been widely adopted and consequently these HYVs replaced the specifically adapted local varieties (LVs). In this review, on the basis of 13 years data (2000–01 to 2012–13), attempts have been made to analyze the prevalence of local varieties (LVs), pattern of their adaptation, adoption and diffusion, yield including variability in the yield in cereals and coarse cereals in different regions and seasons in India. It was observed that HYVs did not replace LVs completely and LVs still cover significant area and are virtually grown in all regions and seasons in India. The adoption and adaptation pattern of HYVs was found to be highly asymmetrical. It was also revealed that under marginal conditions, the performance of LVs is comparable and even out yield HYVs, but under favorable environmental conditions with high input and better management conditions, HYVs performed extremely well and, therefore, highly responsive to inputs. The yield gains obtainable through HYVs over LVs, varies from season to season in the same region and in different regions in the same season. The variability in yield (CV) was always higher in LVs as compared to HYVs among all cereal crops as LVs are grown under marginal, sub optimal and low input management conditions. The significant negative association was observed between average yield and CV in case of rice HYVs, LVs of sorghum and in both HYVs and LVs in maize.

The study was conducted to analyze the responses of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed yield and quality to tillage and fertilization in Sanandaj, Iran over two years (2012 and 2013). The experiments were arranged in split-plot, based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Main plots consisted of tillage systems including conventional tillage (CT), minimum tillage (MT), and no-tillage (NT). Eight fertilization methods were employed in the sub-plots including (F1): farmyard manure (FYM); (F2): compost; (F3): chemical fertilizers; (F4): FYM + compost; (F5): FYM + chemical fertilizers; (F6): compost + chemical fertilizers; (F7): FYM + compost + chemical fertilizers; and (F8): Control (without fertilizer). The highest number of pods and seeds per plant and grain yield were obtained in MT-F7 treatment, in which compost, manure, and chemical fertilizers were applied simultaneously in a balanced manner under reduced tillage system. The highest content of seed oil belonged to farmyard manure application. The highest content of seed protein was related to combined fertilizer application and complete chemical fertilizer. This treatment can be considered as a step toward sustainable agriculture. We concluded that applying organic manures along with moderated chemical fertilizers and employing reduced tillage systems increased soybean yield.

The present experiment was conducted during rainy season of 2013-14 at ICAR–Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, to compare and calculate variations in phosphorus (P) concentration and uptake in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plant as well as soil available P (Olsen’s reagent 0.5 M NaHCO3-extractable) as influenced by three different crop establishment methods (CEMs), rates of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) fertilization and microbial inoculations in spilt plot design with three replications. The concentration and uptake of P in puddled transplanted rice (PTR) and system of rice intensification (SRI) was significantly higher than aerobic rice system (ARS) and total uptake was increased by 480 and 540 g/ha in PTR and 580 and 660 g/ha in SRI over ARS in first and second year, respectively. The treatment with 100% recommended dose of nutrients (RDN) (25.8 kg P/ha and 120 kg N/ha) had significantly higher P concentration and uptake than 75% RDN and absolute control. The correlation between milled rice yield and P concentration was found positive (R2= 0.95 and 0.94). Application of microbial inoculation significantly increased P concentration and uptake over fertilizer control (75% RDN) and absolute control which increased in total P uptake by 640 and 680 g/ha due to application of Anabaena–Pseudomonas (An-Ps) biofilmed formulations (MI2) and Anabaena sp. (CR1) + Providencia sp. (PR3) consortia (MI1) over fertilizer control (75% RDN).

After drought salinity is the major abiotic stress that severely affects agricultural productivity globally. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the important grain legume which suffers approximately 8-10% of total global yield loss due to salinity. Screening for salt stress is difficult and traits that correlate salinity tolerance are least understood. The present study was carried out at ICAR-IARI, New Delhi 2017-18, deals with the important morphological and physiological traits like RWC (Relative water content), EL (Electrolyte Leakage), Na/K (sodium and potassium ratio) to characterize the salt tolerant genotypes under hydroponic condition which is a quick and easy method to screen large number of chickpea genotypes at initial stage under salt stress condition. Genotypes showing high RWC, low EL and Na/K ratio were tolerant like ICCV 10, JG 11, JG 62 and CSG-8962 whereas genotypes like ICC4958 and Pusa362 fall under moderately tolerant genotypes and DCP 93-3, Pusa 256, Phule G5 and SBD 377 were classified as susceptible genotypes. This study also attempts to understand the candidate genes responsible for salt-stress related pathways in chickpea genotypes based on sequence similarity approach exploiting known salt-stress responsive genes from model crops or other crop species.

Low productive cereals (rice and maize/mixed cropping) in the Jhum degraded abiotic stressed soils (from acidity and moisture deficit) of rainfed hilly ecosystem of Northeast India (NEI) restrict jhumias socio-economic upliftment. Shift in cropping pattern to stress-tolerant groundnut cultivars may provide an option in such a situation. We evaluated the performance of 26 improved cultivars of groundnut for four consecutive years (2013-2016) in terms of suitable agronomic and physiological traits for higher productivity in such soils under rainfed hilly ecosystem of NEI (Manipur) and compared their performances with one popular local check (JL-24). Few improved cultivars (GG-21, TG 37-A, GG-11, TKG-19-A, ICGV-86590 and ICGS-76) yielded significantly (P<0.05) higher (2.72 to 3.35 t/ha) than the local check (2.09 t/ha), primarily because of their better agronomic (leaf area and root dry weight) and physiological (nodulation, chlorophyll and proline contents) traits. Higher agronomical and physiological attributes also led higher production of biomass (above and below ground) than other cultivars. More carbon addition from higher biomass of these cultivars will help in restoration of soil health while higher pod productivity will improve socio-economy of the jhumias. These few selected, sensitive agronomic and physiological traits, thus, can be explored for selection of suitable groundnut cultivars, highly productive yet adaptive and restorative to Jhum degraded acid soils in the rainfed hilly ecosystem of NEI as well as in other such similar agro-ecological regions.

The regeneration of plants through formation of protocorm and protocorm-like bodies was achieved by in vitro asymbiotic immature seed culture of Calanthe odora. This is the first report on in vitro regeneration of plantlets of Calanthe odora Griff., the IUCN red listed threatened species. The immature seeds as explants were most regenerative than mature seeds. The MS media fortified with different concentrations of Kinetin alone or in combination with NAA were tested to sort out as the best regeneration media. From the experimental results the best medium was sorted as MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l Kinetin and 1.0 mg/l NAA for germination and formation of protocorm-like bodies from immature seed explants followed by transfer to MS media fortified with 1.5 mg/l Kinetin and 1.0 mg/l NAA for development of protocorm to plantlets. The plantlets after hardening in in vitro were transferred to polyhouse where 86.7% survival rate was recorded on vermiculite potting media.

A field study was carried out during winter (rabi) seasons of 2015–16 to 2017–18 at Karnal, Hisar, Ludhiana, Durgapura and Agra to evaluate the efficacy of plant growth regulators (CCC, ethephon and their combination) to reduce lodging and enhance productivity of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) under high nitrogen level. Results revealed that application of 75 kg N/ha increased the grain yield by 3.17% over the recommended 60 kg/ha. The pooled mean lodging score with the application of growth regulators, viz. CCC, ethephon and combination of both was 5.21, 4.28 and 3.03 respectively, while without growth regulators application the lodging score was 9.57. With the application of plant growth regulator, the yield increased in the range of 2.5–4.1 q/ha (5.7–9.4%). The effect of CCC was relatively lesser as compared to ethephon, however the combination of both gave additive effect on yield increment (8.78%). Application of growth regulators increased 1000-grain weight by 6.21% over control. Therefore, the use of plant growth regulators i.e. CCC and ethephon under high nitrogen (75 kg N/ha) can be advocated as a sustainable strategy to enhance the productivity of barley through decreasing lodging problem.

Pollen studies act as a prerequisite for choosing a compatible pollen parent and help plant breeders to achieve successful crossing between different cultivars. An experiment was conducted during 2018–19 at Fruit Research Farm of Regional Horticulture Research and Training Station Bajaura, Kullu, Himachal Pradesh to evaluate 8 commercial genetically distant pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cultivars (Chawla, Nabha, P-26, Kandhari Kabuli, G-137, Jodhpur Red, Mridula and Bhagwa) for pollen morphology (shape and size) and viability. Hybridization studies were also carried out to assess the role of cross pollination in fruit set to infuse blood red aril colour and soft seededness in the selected cultivars. The compatibility behaviour was studied by using different cross combinations of cultivars followed by recording their fruit set percentage. It could help breeders understand the performance of cultivars as pollinizers which would ultimately help them in hybridization programs. Pollen viability of the pomegranate germplasm was determined using 2% acetocarmine. Highest pollen viability was recorded in Bhagwa (94.29%) followed by Chawla (91.21%). In hybridization studies, highest fruit set per cent among 16 crosses was observed in Mridula × P-26 (77.80%). The differences in fruit set percentage could be due to varied degree of compatibility between different genotypes, behaviour of pollen with respect to viability percentage, differences in growth rate of pollen tube and might also be due to differences in temperature during bloom period.

The present study was carried out at Regional Research Station, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Karnal, Haryana during winter (rabi) seasons of 2019–20 and 2020–21. In this experiment, ZT-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was sown with happy seeder under surface residue load of 6 t/ha (chopped). Fourteen weed control treatments including pre-emergence herbicide (pendimethalin 1500 g/ha), sequential application of pre-emergence fb post-emergence (POE) herbicide (pendimethalin 1500 g/ha fb pinoxaden 50 g/ha), weedy check and weed-free were applied in a randomised block design (RBD) with 3 replications. Pre-emergence (PRE) herbicides were applied on the top of rice (Oryza sativa L.) residues using two water volumes (500 and 1000 litre/ha) with 3 types of nozzles (flat-fan, flood-jet and air-injection). Among weed species, Rumex dentatus (L.) and Phalaris minor (Retz.) showed significantly higher suppression under residue mulch and Medicago polymorpha (L). showed least suppression. Pendimethalin 1500 g/ha fb pinoxaden 50 g/ha (1000 l/ha) (Flood-jet) was statistically similar to weed-free in terms of grain yield, net returns and B:C ratio during both the years.
Eco-friendly management of cowpea thrips (Megalurothrips distalis) using plant extracts
Authors: GHOSH SUNIL KUMAR
Published: November 2022

Mixed formulation, azadirachtin+garlic and azadirachtin+Spilanthes provided 66.94% and 66.44% thrips reduction 10 days after application respectively in cowpea crop, which was at par with imidacloprid. There are no significant differences among those treatments. Yield of these two treatments are also at par with the imidacloprid. Recommended doses of azadirachtin (1500 ppm) mixing with garlic or Spilanthes is good for thrips reduction. So they are recommended for thrips management. These treatments have no phyto-toxic effect on plants. So plant extract may be recommended for thrips management and included in Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
