In view of awareness toward nature-friendly management of plant diseases, the need of integration and use of indigenous knowledge (IK) with modern biological control measures has been emphasized. In view of new insights being generated it is accentuated to reassess the system of sustainable plant disease management. One farmer-inspired indigenous practice of using raw cow milk as seed treatment has been experimentally validated integrating with Trichoderma spp. (the farmer-friendly fungus and biocontrol agent) at farmers' fields and at C. R. Farm of the Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur. The present article, besides documenting the success stories of validating biocontrol agents to manage plant diseases in arid Rajasthan, attempts to revive interest in IK and biocontrol emphasizing new research needs to reassess the system of sustainable plant disease management.Keywords

A case for incorporating requirements of water quality and water quantity under climate change in estimating environmental flow (Eflow) is presented. Despite the developments in Eflow assessment technologies worldwide, such studies are given little attention in practice. Eflow estimates for a given river stretch need to be modified accounting the present and future water availability. Water quality and water availability can be incorporated in Eflow estimations through an integrated water quality and hydrological modelling for any basin. This framework can be extended to simulate the future scenarios (quality and quantity) by inputting future precipitation and temperature projections from global climate models.Full Text

Rapid consumption of nano technology related products has increased everywhere, which is a cause of concern. Engineered nano particles (ENPs), for example, TiO2, ZnO, CuO, Ag, etc. have been found in environment and are shown to pose risks to ecological systems and humans.Full Text
