River water was used as a control. Germination percentage was insignificantly increased in sewage and coalmine water as compared to control (river). Significant increase was observed in ischolar_main length in sewage water as compared to control. Shoot length was insignificantly decreased in sewage and coalmine water as compared to control. It can be concluded from the present study that sewage and coalmine water can be used to irrigate crops and using different sources of water for irrigation is a good way to utilize different type of wastes.

Only few workers described the blue green algae principality growing in water habitats. In this investigation total 68 taxa of blue green algae belonging to 20 genera viz., Microcystis, Aphanothece, Aphanocapsa, Gloeothece, Gloeocapsa, Merismopedia, Synechococcus, Arthrospira, Oscillatoria, Phormidium Lyngbya, Nostoc, Anabaena, Anabaenopsis, Cylindrospermum, Aulosira, Calothrix, Gloeotrichia, Rivularia, Scytonema have been listed, identified, recorded first time from the various places of Ranchi district.

Chickpea is also trendy in the Ethiopian high ground and South America. The production of chickpea throughout the last three decades has been static in most countries and in some it has even decreased. The two types of chickpea i.e. desi and the kabuli are botanically parallel, but there are strong user preferences for one or the other. Chickpea is a rich source of some vitamins such as riboflavin, thiamin, folate and niacin. This crop may contain anti-nutritional compounds that can spoil consumption of the nutrients by people. The plan of this review is to summarize the nutritional value of chickpea and effect of nitrogen nutrition on chickpea which can be supplemented to plants as nitrate (NO3), ammonium (NH4) or combination of both (NH4NO3).

Rice bean is a multipurpose, less utilized crop accepted to be tamed in the Myanmar-Thailand locale of Asia. It is believed to be a potential nutritive fodder legume. Among various types of molecular markers, microsatellites (SSRs) have been widely in used due to several advantages over other markers. These markers are appropriated all through the genome, high number of allelic variety at every locus, incredibly polymorphic just as being species-explicit and co-predominant; they have become an ever increasing number of critical hereditary markers in rice reproducing programmes. In spite of the fact that there has been next to no exploration or exceptionally less distributed writing on rice bean with respect to its genetic diversity, the aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge concerning the linkage of microsatellite markers to rice bean which is regarded as minor food and is mainly grown for human consumption, though it is additionally utilized for roughage and green manure. Rice bean has an ability to give balance diet to the domesticated animals and to continue under wide scope of climatic condition in any case, more spotlight is required on this harvest for greater prominence as a potential vegetable yield.
