Abstract

An experiment was conducted during kharif season of 1995 and 1996 to study the effect of Bradyrhizobium and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) alone or in combination with different levels of phosphorus on soybean at Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Results revealed that inoculation of Bradyrhizobium and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) alone or in combination caused marked increase in yield and quality parameters. Besides, increasing levels of phosphorus up to 26.20 kg ha^-1 also improved the seed yield and quality parameters. Of the different combinations, application of 19.65 kg P ha^-1 with Rhizobium and PSB registered higher seed yield, oil yield and protein content resulting into the higher return and C.B. ratio over the independent application of 26.20 kg P ha^-1 and thus 6.55 kg P may be saved without affecting the yield.

Abstract

The intended purpose of Technical Education System is to cater to the manpower needs of the potential employers -the industry. Since industry is the 'consumer' of the 'product' of this system, the industrial needs should determine the qualities and characteristics of the 'Product'. In view of this, a close collaboration between industry and the technical institution is imperative.

Abstract

Although, the words change and innovation are frequently used interchangeable but there is clear distinction between the two. Numerous conflicting definations are available in the literature describing the attributes of the term innovation.

Abstract

Technological developments are taking place at a very fast rate in the world. India is also not averse to it. Indian industries are adopting new technicques & technology to compete with the time. The state has come when industries are far ahead of technical institutions in the country. To reduce this gap and to provide well-trained and need based technicans, the technical institutes have to gear up themselves to face the challanges ahead.

Abstract

Whenever there is a change, resistance to change is built up. It is, therefore, essential to understand what precisely are the underlying forces within the human components of Engineering education which act as change resistors.

Abstract

Hundreds of research institutions all over the world are busy in conducting fundamental and applied researches in science and technology. The rate of development is exponential. Newer and high Technologies are being evolved everyday. Rapid developments in science and technology have influenced the total environment. This has forced a/l the systems and the sub-systems to change and adjust with the emerging environment. "Management of Change" has become the talk of today.

Abstract

Majority of Industries complain against the Quality of Polytechnic Passouts especially in respect of conceptual understanding of the subjects and the pratical and supervisory skills they require for working on the shop floor or the field. There is a big gap between what is taught by the teachers in polytechnics and what is practiced in Industries.

Abstract

Nitrogen fixing microorganism of genus Rhizobium lives in root nodules of legumes and also in the soil. An attempt has been made to isolate and characterize this Rhizobium strains from different wild legumes like Meliolotus indicus, Medicago denticulate, Desmodium triflorum and Alycicarpus hamosum. Phosphorus is one of the major nutrients next to nitrogen which is present in the soil in insoluble form. Characterization of the isolated strains form wild legume plants was done by using certain other biochemical test, this included indole production, MR-VP, cirate utilization ketolactose production, nitrate reduection, phosphate solubilization, pH and Salt tolerance. Five isolates DT02, DT03, DT04, MI01, EH04 showed good phosphatase activity. Isolate DT02, DT03, DT04, MI01, EH04 grew well at concentration of 2%, 3% salt and grew well in alkaline and acid condition i.e. at pH10 and pH4.

Abstract

An attempt has been made to isolate and characterize nitrogen fixing bacteria, Rhizobium, from the root nodules of chick pea collected from different fields of the district Sagar, (M.P.). A total of 26 isolates were obtained. The isolated strains were identified on the basis of colonial and morphological characteristics on Yeast mannitol agar medium by Congo red test. Out of 26 isolates, 14 were confirmed to be Rhizobium on the basis of the results of Gram staining, carbol fuchsin staining for the presence of Poly b hydroxybutyrate granules, motility test and lactose agar test. The isolates were further characterized biochemically by performing indole, methyl red, vogues proskauer, citrate utilization, nitrate reduction test. The isolates were also tested for its phosphate solubilising efficiency, capability to tolerate variability in salt concentration, pH and presence of amylase and catalase enzymes. Out of 14, 5 isolates showed very good phosphate solubilising zones upto 15 mm on one day incubation and 2 isolates namely CP3 and CP13 also showed siderophore production and thus were found to be the best strains which could be further characterized for their use as bioinoculant.
