Although slow but definite improvement is brought out in the physico-chemical properties of the salt affected soils by encouraging the growth of vegetation on such lands. The present investigation were undertaken to evaluate the relative efficacy of certain salt tolerant tree species in the extent of soil improvement. The tree species in general were effective in bringing about imrovement in the soil properties as reflected by the changes in physico-chemical characteristics of the soil like bulk density (BD), water holding capacity (WHC), hydraulic conductivity (HC) and pH, Ec, Oc, N and exchangeable cations (Na+ and Ca++). There were, however, Variations among the species for their efficacy in improving the soil properties. Vast stretch of salt affected soils still remin a bane for the society for want of adequate resources to reclaim them with the available technology involving initial heavy investments. The process of degradation, which has been set in due to reckless destruction of vegetation, can be reversed by re-establishment of vegetative cover which brings about slow but definite improvement in such inhospitable soils. This phenomenen has been amply demonstrated by various parameters governing the soil health in the present investigations which show a positive sign of improvement both in terms of physical and chemical properties of the soil. Such soils should, therefore, be brought under sod/tree cover, if not found economical for regular farming, and taken care by the community for posterity.- Prevalence of Soil-transmitted Helminthes Infections in School Going Children in North India

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections represent a major public health problem in poor and developing countries including India. Burden of STH does not only depend on regional ecological condition but also on local standard of social and economic development of the people. The wide spread use of anthelminths has shown remarkable reduction in the burden of STH in India. However, there is a risk of developing drug resistance as a result of frequent treatment with anthelminths. Although periodic treatment with anthelminths for the control of intestinal parasitic infection is highly effective and inexpensive, careful study of epidemiology of soil- transmitted helminthes is needed before making large scale periodic treatment schedules. The present study is designed to study the prevalence and distribution of STH infections in school going children.
Objectives: To study the Prevalence, distribution and Risk factors associated with of STH infection in school going children in north India.
Material and Method: This cross sectional study was conducted in school going children of Fathehgarh, Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh - India. A total of 580 school going children aged 6 - 14 years from two randomly selected primary schools studied.
Results&Conclusion: STH infection and anemia are still a major public health problem in school going children of north India. STH infection and high burden of anemia both are correlated with poor housing&hygienic conditions, malnutrition, illiteracy and faulty personal habits of children. It is recommended that periodic deworming of school going children should be continued.

Seismicity pattern has been examined prior to the occurrence of the six earthquakes (M ≥ 54) during the period 1965 to 2005. This includes the damaging earthquake of Gilgit 1972 Pattan 1974 and Muzaffarabad earthquake 2005. The results were interpreted with reference to (i) pattern of occurrence of past earthquakes (ii) energy released event wise and cumulative energy released year wise. It was interesting to note that all these earthquakes were preceded by quiescence followed by increase in seismicity before the occurrence of main earthquake. An alternative interpretation of the data prior to the occurrence of the great Muzaffarabad earthquake (October 2005) suggested a sequence of double quiescence as reported in Uttarkashi (1991) and Chamoli (1999) earthquakes in Uttaranchal. The focal mechanism solution of an earthquake during February 2004 and October 2005 revealed significant changes in the orientation of P and T axis. It was interesting to find that the value of 'b' in Gutenberg-Richter frequency magnitude relationship decreased markedly during 1985-1994 and almost recovered prior to the occurrence of Great Muzaffarabad earthquake m accordance with the Dilantancy Diffusion model of earthquakes.Keywords

Ground and satellite based measurements of spectral optical properties of aerosols have been carried out at Dehradun (DDN) in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) and Kavaratti (KVT) at Lakshadweep in southern Arabian Sea during pre-monsoon season (March- May) 2012. The measurements illustrate distinct seasonal impact on aerosol properties with maximum dust loading during May in conjunction with anthropogenic aerosols over DDN and marine aerosols over KVT. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) values have been observed maximum in May (0.72 ± 0.03) over DDN and in April (0.77 ± 0.05) over KVT. The high AOD at DDN during May is associated with low α and high β , means higher loading in May is associated with coarse mode aerosols, may be dust loading as evident from SSA and volume size distribution. Similarly, high AOD at KVT during March and April are associated with high α and low β, may be due to anthropogenic influence as evident from BT analysis as well as SSA and volume size distribution. However, influence of marine aerosols is also noticeable over KVT during May as indicated by the lower values of α with high turbidity coefficient β. Comparison between sunphotometer and MODIS AOD observations indicates good statistical agreement with the minimal error.Keywords

Land degradation is one of the major causes of decline in soil productivity. However, the quantitative relationship between degradation and productivity is not fully understood in soils of India. Thus, an experiment was conducted under a range of native soil organic carbon (SOC) levels in two soil types (Inceptisol and Alfisol) of subtropical India. The SOC content under the treatments was 1.61%, 1.01% and 0.77% in Inceptisol and 0.36%, 0.25% and 0.21% in Alfisol under C1 (undepleted soil), C2 (low depletion) and C3 (medium depletion) treatments respectively. Soybean was grown under each SOC level, with four management practices, viz. (1) control, (2) recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) + 10 Mg farmyard manure (FYM) ha-1, (3) 20 Mg FYM ha-1 and (4) 150% RDF, in three replicates in a factorial completely randomized design. Results indicated significant and positive effect of both SOC and management treatment on plant biomass yield, labile (KMnO4 oxidizable) carbon, soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), dehydrogenase activity, soil bulk density (BD) and penetration resistance (PR). The plant biomass reduced by 45% and 29% under C3 (compared to C1) in Inceptisol and Alfisol respectively. The effect of SOC depletion was conspicuous in Inceptisol. The labile C reduced by 47% and 16% under C3 in Inceptisol and Alfisol respectively. SMBC showed a corresponding decrease of 33% and 29%. The soil physical properties, viz. BD and PR showed conspicuous effect of SOC depletion. PR increased by 324% and 75% for Inceptisol and Alfisol respectively.Keywords

Polynomial sets of type zero and its properties together with various applications were studied in the past. In the Rota theory, the polynomials of Sheer A-type zero are called Sheer sequences. In particular, members of the q-analogue of the Sheer class A-type zero can be called q-Sheer sequences. In the present paper, an attempt is made to discuss q-analogues of generalized Sheer polynomials in two variables and their properties.Keywords

Wood specific gravity (WSG) is an important parameter in allometric equations for accurate estimation of C-sequestration and other functional properties of a tree. However, WSG of many tree species especially of arid and semi-arid regions is poorly reported. Further, identifying indirect methods for determination of stem WSG from branches may be rapid and relatively easy. The present study determined WSG of stem and branches of 21 tree species in the hot semi-arid region of Western India. Three individual trees from each species were randomly selected and sampled for determination of WSG of stem, primary and secondary branch. WSG varied significantly among the species (F = 42.83, P < 0.001) and sampling locations (stem and branches) (F = 29.43, P < 0.001). In stem (at DBH), it ranged from 0.42 ± 0.04 to 0.74 ± 0.03 among the species while within an individual tree it varied in order of stem > primary branch > secondary branch in most species. WSG of stem and branches showed linear relationship and branches were found a good predictor of stem WSG (R2 > 0.83).Keywords

Various thermodynamic properties viz. acoustic impedance, Z, intermolecular free length, Lr molar sound velocity, R, molar compressibility, W, and molecular association MA, have been computed for five binary liquid mixtures (Dimethylcarbonate (DMC) + methanol, DMC + cyclohexane, methanol + cyclohexane, DMC + benzene, and methanol + benzene) at 298.15 K. Interactions between the components of binary systems are studied in terms of excess acoustic impedance, ZE, excess intermolecular free length, LfE deviation in molar sound velocity, ΔR, deviation in molar compressibility, ΔW, and deviation in ultrasonic velocity, Δu. Sign and magnitude of the excess properties give an estimate of strength of the unlike interactions in a iquid mixture. Small positive values of LfE and negative values of ZE and Δu signify the existence of weak interactions between component molecules of all the binary systems. Moreover, an attempt has also been made to examine the validity of several theories and relations, viz. free length theory, Nomoto relation, Junjie relation, Van Deal & Vangeel ideal mixing relation and collision factor theory for the theoretical predictions of ultrasonic velocity in the systems under consideration.Full Text

Enhancing the production potential and socio-economic level of farmers, 138 front line demonstrations on chickpea were laid out during the year 2015-16 and 2016-17. Area under the demonstration was 50.56 hectare comprising 138 farmer’s of six villages Ramukhedi, Setkhedi, Khudel, Baroda Doulat, Gariya and Akya of district Indore in Madhya Pradesh. Under the technology dissemination programme recommended intervention i.e. suitable variety, integrated nutrient management, integrated pest management were attempted. Recommended practice recorded mean yield of 14.40 q/ha, which was 30.11 per cent higher over the farmers practices (11.06 q/ha). Additional cost under the intervention of Rs. 2740 to 1919 gave additional net return of Rs. 10,917 to Rs. 15,046 per hectare. Higher side benefit: cost ratio (2.4-2.51) was recorded during both the year of study. The extension gap was observed between 3.01 to 3.6 q/ha. The favourable cost benefit ratio exhibited the feasibility of technology demonstrated.Keywords

Marigold has earned tremendous popularity as floral crop in Madhya Pradesh particularly at Indore district where it is being commercially cultivated as loose flower at around 2300 hectare in open field condition. With the objectives to address the problem of low yield with poor quality flower of marigold leading to lower economic returns, an assessment of integrated nutrient management with bio fertilizer application in marigold under open field condition was attempted during year 2015-16 and 2016-17 by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kasturbagram consisting 10 innovative farmers with three treatment, including farmers practice T1 (NPK @ 60-90-32 kg/hac), recommended practice T2 (NPK 200 kg-100 kg-80+20 tonnes FYM/ha) and modified recommended practice T3 (NPK @ 150 kg-100 kg-80 kg + Azotobacter and PSB @ 5 kg/Hac+20 tonnes FYM/ha ). Out of three treatment, flower yield under the modified recommended practice (105.1 q/ha) was significantly higher than recommended practice (99.23 q/ha) followed by farmers practice (86.40 q/ha). Similarly gross income (Rs. 157650.00), net return (Rs. 96156.00) and BC ratio (2.56) under modified recommended practice were also recorded significantly higher over recommended practice (T2) and farmers practice (T1). Flower diameter in terms of centimetre was recorded highest (3.39 cm) under refinement (T2) followed by recommended (T2) 3.06 cm and farmer’s practice (T1) 2.45 cm.Keywords

Marigold (Tagetes erecta Linn.) has earned tremendous popularity as floral crop in Madhya Pradesh particularly at Indore district, where it is being commercially cultivated as loose flower at around 2300 hac. 97 per cent (2231 hac) area covered under African type cultivar which was grown almost around the year in Indore district. Market price always remains high for those cultivars having uniform size, shape and early flowering nature. Consequently hybrid marigold varieties were tried as intervention for enhancing the yield and economic return at real farming situation. 16 on-form demonstrations were conducted during the period 2014 and 2015 at village Lodiya and Uteriya of Indore district in Madhya Pradesh. 20.80 per cent flower yield enhancement was recorded with hybrid variety over farmer’s practice (Local variety). Average additional income of Rs. 45,568.00 can be attributed by adopting hybrid marigold variety over local variety. Higher cost of cultivation under recommended practice was attributable to higher seed cost of hybrid cultivar. On mean basis cost benefit ratio was 2.16 for recommended practice, whereas 1.16 for farmer’s practice. Thus, favourable cost benefit ratio and higher net returns proved the economic viability of the intervention made under recommended practice.Keywords

The experiments on farmers’ field were conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Indore in nearby two villages during 2016-17 to 2017-18 to assess the impact of soil and foliar application of potassium nutrition on productivity of soybean. On farm trial comprised of three treatments viz., T1- farmer’s practice (18:45:0), T2- recommended doses of potassium on soil test basis and T3- foliar application of potassium (1%) were taken on the ten farmers field each year. The experimental design was Randomized Block Design with the ten replications in which farmers were taken as the replication. The result indicated that soybean grain yield in the soil application of recommended dose of potassium (T2), was significantly superior over foliar application of the potassium (1%) (T3) and farmer practices (T1). The increase in yield was 18.97 per cent in the treatment T2 and 12.20 per cent in treatment T3 over the farmers’ practices (T1). The soil application of recommended dose of potassium recorded significantly higher average pod per plant and seed index followed by the foliar application of potassium as compared to farmer practice (33.90). Similar trend were also recorded in the gross return, net return and B:C ratio.Keywords

Agroforestry is one of the most promising options for climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. However, carbon sequestered in agroforestry system depends on various factors like type of tree species, tree density, system age, soil and climate. One of the most important factors for enhancing carbon sequestration per unit land is tree density. Hardwickia binata Roxb. has been reported as suitable agroforestry tree species with multiple benefits in arid and semi-arid region, however, the role and impact of tree density in carbon sequestration is poorly reported. This study estimated impact of tree density (D1 = 333 tree ha-1 and D2 = 666 tree ha-1) on carbon sequestration potential of 30-year-old H. binata Roxb. + Cenchrus setigerus silvipasture system in hot semiarid region of Rajasthan. The carbon sequestered in tree biomass was estimated by reported allometric equations, whereas in soil it was determined by Walkley and Black method. Results showed significant impact of tree density on carbon sequestration per unit tree and per hectare land. The average biomass carbon sequestered by a tree was significantly more (44.5%) in low density (D1) compared to high density (D1) system. However, total biomass carbon sequestered per hectare land was significantly more (40.8%) in high density system (31.6 ± 12.6 Mg C ha-1. Carbon sequestered in soil organic matter was higher in both D1 and D1 systems compared to control (sole Cenchrus setigerus field). It ranged from 19.93 ± 0.31 Mg C ha-1 in control to 22.94 ± 0.65 Mg C ha-1 and 23.25 ± 0.78 Mg C ha-1 in D1 and D2 respectively. The total carbon sequestered (below and above ground tree biomass and soil organic carbon) was in the order D2 > D1 > control.Keywords
