Cyanobacteria are a group of diverse Gram-negative organisms that are one of the most primitive photosynthesizes. Attention is drawn towards the alterations in physlogical chances in cyanobacteria exposed to pesticides stress. Synechococcus cultures were exposed to various concentration of the herbicide hexazinone and the tolerant cyanobacteria were used to study the alterations in antioxidant activities, growth and lipid peroxidation levels. All parameters showed a high degree of susceptibility towards high doses of hexazinone. Recovered cyanobacteria showed lower MDA content and super oxide and peroxide radicals. The present findings suggested that high concentration of Hexazinone might modulate the antioxidative system of Synechococcus spp. A significant conclusion can be drawn from the findings that improved tolerance to herbicide stress may be accomplished by increased capacity of antioxidant system of cyanobacteria.Keywords

Since critical evaluation of information and its sources is one of the important topics in Information Literacy (IL). The present paper seeks to assess information evaluation skills among university students with respect to the Under Graduate (UG) and Post Graduate (PG) level; gender; and mode of education (regular and distance education). A five point scale, the Scale of Information Evaluation Skills (SIES) with 20 items, was prepared by the authors to assess these skills on the Internet (9 items); Books or other Print Material (7 items); and Newspapers (4 items). To identify significant differences between various groups of students, t-test was performed and its effect size has also been reported. Significant differences in the information evaluation skills were found between UG and PG level students; and between the students of regular and distance mode of education.Keywords

The Mandakini Valley of Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand witnessed unprecedented damage to life, property, infrastructure and landscape on 16 and 17 June 2013 due to torrential rains. Run-off discharge data indicate that antecedent rainfall exceeded the limit and the overflow of rivers led to landslide in the region and flash floods in the downstream areas. Fragile geology of the area, close to Main Central Thrust (MCT), degradation processes and torrential rains are responsible for triggering landslides and flash floods. A landslide inventory was carried out in the affected areas based on pre- and post-flood high resolution satellite data (LISS-IV and Cartosat-2). A total of 290 landslides were identified from pre-flood satellite LISS IV (2011) imagery and 1665 were identified in post-flood satellite imagery along major rivers. Using remote sensing and geographic information system techniques, thematic layers were generated. Using the weightage rating system, a landslide hazard zonation map of the area was prepared. Each class within a thematic layer was assigned an ordinal rating from 1 to 9. Summation of these attribute values was then multiplied by the corresponding weights to yield different zones of landslide hazard. A landslide hazard zonation map having five different zones ranging from very low hazard zone to very high hazard zone was prepared with the objective to create a reliable database for post-disaster management and for planning developmental activities in the district.Keywords

Bihar has always played its role to meet the goals of National Food Security since time immemorial. A major emphasis was laid towards production of cereals, oilseeds, cash crops, etc. Unfortunately it lagged in pulse production although the geotopographical situation is favourable for almost all pulses grown in the country. This article provides the reasons for such constraint and possible remedies and solution based on current scenario prevailing in the state.Keywords

The results of experiment reveal that pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30 DAS resulted the lowest density of monocot (3.41m-2), dicot (3.15m-2) and total weeds (4.59m-2) 50DAS compared to weedy check (6.80, 6.01 and 9.05am-2), respectively. Integration of pre-emergence herbicides with hand weeding or their sequential use with post-emergence herbicides was found significantly superior in controlling the weed density 50DAS compared to their corresponding application alone. All the weed control treatments were also found significantly superior in reducing dry matter of monocot; dicot and total weeds compared to weedy check 75DAS. Minimum total weed dry matter 75DAS was observed under weed free (146kg ha-1) closely followed by pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30DAS (431.7kg ha-1) compared to weedy check (1884.5kg ha-1). Weed control efficiency 75DAS observed maximum under weed free treatment in which crop was kept weed free upto 50 days (92.18%) which is closely followed by pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30DAS (76.96%) and weed index was also recorded the lowest under pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30DAS (3.17%). Uptake of N and P by weeds at harvest was found significantly lower with all the weed control treatments compared to weedy check. The minimum uptake of N (2.78kg ha-1) and P (0.40kg ha-1) was recorded with weed free treatment closely followed by pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30DAS with the respective uptake values as 8.17 and 1.18kg ha-1. All the weed control treatments significantly tended to increase plant height, dry matter accumulation, branches plant-1 and leaf area of soybean over weedy check. Weed free treatment recorded the highest plant dry matter (32.20g plant-1) at harvest closely followed by pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30DAS (31.05g plant-1) and two hand weeding (30.65g plant-1). Weed free treatment recorded maximum number of branch plant-1, number of pods plant-1, pod length and seed index which was closely followed by pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30DAS and these treatments were found statistically at par to each other in this regard. Weed free upto 50 days treatment resulted in maximum seed yield (1421kg ha-1) which was statistically at par with pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30 DAS (1376kg ha-1) and two hand weeding 15 and 30DAS (1321kg ha-1). A like seed yield, haulm yield (3100kg ha-1), biological yield (4521kg ha-1) and harvest index (31.43%) were also recorded maximum under weed free treatment which were closely followed by pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 PE + hand weeding 30DAS. The maximum uptake of total nitrogen (143.78kg ha-1) and phosphorus (15.63kg ha-1) by the crop was significantly more in weed free check closely followed by pre-emergence application of pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30DAS and these treatments were found statistically at par to each other in this regard and the minimum being recorded under weedy check with the respective value of 52.32 and 5.64kg ha-1. Both net return (Rs.29508 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.38) were also obtained maximum under pre-emergent pendimethalin 0.75kg ha-1 + hand weeding 30DAS closely followed by two hand weeding 15 and 30DAS with the respective net return and BC ratio of Rs. 27244 and 2.26.Keywords

Genotypic and phenotypic co-efficients of variation were high for average weight of clove, yield per plant, cloves per bulb and plant height. Width of clove, plant height and length of leaves, yield per plant, cloves per bulb, average weight of clove exhibited high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean. These characters are governed by additive gene effects. It was also concluded that selection on the basis of these characters will be more useful for the improvement of this crop towards attaining higher yield. Correlation co-efficient studies showed that phenotypic correlation co-efficients are higher than genotypic correlation which indicates the inherent association among the characters dependent of environment influence. Yield per plant had a positive and highly significant correlation with plant height, length of leaves, average weight of clove, equatorial diameter, polar diameter and clove/bulb which implies that these characters were contributing to bulb weight and bulb yield/plant. All the combination of traits should be considered while selecting for high yielding genotypes. Improvement of bulb weight per plant may be achieved by exercising direct selection of plant height, length of leaves, weight of cloves, equatorial diameter of bulb, clove weight, number of cloves per bulb, polar diameter of bulb and clove length as these exhibited significant positive direct effect on bulb weight per plant coupled with high heritability and high genetic advance as per cent of mean. Characters had correlation co-efficient value at par with their direct effect on bulb yield per hectare. In Mahalanobis D2 analysis, On the basis of Mahalanobis D2 values, all the 27 genotypes were grouped under study were grouped into six clusters. Cluster III (8), cluster V (6) and cluster VI (6) contained maximum number of genotypes and cluster I (4) and cluster II (2) comprising minimum number of genotypes and cluster IV contained single genotype.Keywords

Brinjal or eggplant or aubergine, Solanum melongena L. is one of the most important vegetable crops grown in India and other parts of the world. It is highly cosmopolitan and popular vegetable grown as poor man’s crop in India. Brinjal, being a native to India has great variability existing in the country. However, it is highly infested by shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guen., an obnoxious pest causing fruit damage upto 92.5 per cent. The pest is very active during the summer and rainy season and often causes more than 90 per cent damage. Pesticide application is not the only solution of managing the pest as repeated use of pesticide leads to health hazards, destruction of beneficial insects, pest resurgence and environmental pollution. Thus, in order to develop varieties resistant to this pest we need to know the biophysical and biochemical traits that often result intolerance mechanism. Thirty six diverse brinjal genotypes were grown in RBD with three replications at the Vegetable Research Farm, BAC, Sabour during spring-summer season of 2015-16 and morphological and biochemical studies were performed to accomplish these objectives. The findings revealed that sufficient genetic variability was present among the genotypes which provide ample scope for selection of promising genotypes under study. Shoot borer infestation was least in pusa purple cluster (3.28%) followed by BRBR-01 while fruit borer infestation percentage by both number and weight was least in BRBL-01. Pusa purple long was the highest yielder (1100.02g/plant) followed by BRBL-01 (1046.38g/plant). The morphological characters such as average fruit weight, fruit/plant, yield/plant, shoot borer infestation and fruit borer infestation percentage by number possessed high heritability coupled with high genetic advance. All the biochemical characters except leaf chlorophyll and ascorbic acid exhibited high heritability coupled with high genetic advance. Therefore, selection will be more effective for these characters since they are highly heritable and easily fixable due to additive gene effect. D2 cluster analysis grouped the thirty genotypes into 7 clusters. The inter and intra cluster distance between the genotypes under study indicate the existence of higher level of genetic divergence among them. The highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster III (comprising of BRBL-01) and cluster IV and intra cluster distance was observed within cluster IV which suggest that hybridization between the members of these clusters may lead to creation of higher variability and heterosis. Total fruit anthocyanin had maximum contribution towards genetic divergence (27%), followed by fruit borer infestation percentage by weight (21%), fruit borer infestation percentage by number (18%), polyphenol oxidase activity (15%), leaf anthocyanin (8%), yield/plant (6%) and number of fruits/plant (4%). Trichome density showed highly significant negative correlation with shoot infestation also days to first flowering and 50 per cent flowering exhibited significant negative correlation with shoot infestation and fruit infestation by weight. Days to first flowering and fruit length showed significant and positive correlation with fruit yield/plant. So selection for these two characters can be rewarding for yield and quality improvement in brinjal. Fruit weight and trichome density possessed high direct effect and hence direct selection for these characters can be rewarding for yield and pest resistance improvement. Total phenol content of fruit exerted highly significant and negative correlation with fruit borer infestation by weight and fruit borer infestation percentage by number. So selection for these traits can lead to quality improvement, particularly for pest resistance. The genotypes BRBL-01, pusa purple long, pusa purple cluster and BRBL-04 have been found to be high yielders as well as possessing moderate resistance towards fruit and shoot borer besides having good biochemical properties that may be effective in imparting the resistant trait in the genotypes. Therefore, these superior genotypes may be used in future breeding programme for improvement of yield and especially quality.Keywords

The experiment consisting of 2 intercropping patterns, 3 methods of fertilizer application, 2 nitrogen doses in maize along with 2 sole crop treatments in n +2 Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications was conducted at Bhagwant University during the Kharif 2016. The results revealed that planting patterns remained statistically equal with respect to cob yield, grain yield and yield attributes viz., cob length, cob girth and number of grain rows per cob, number of grains per row and number of grains per cob. Furrow application of fertilizers recorded significantly higher cob length, higher number of grains per cob, number of grain per row, cob yield and grain yield than broadcast but remained at par with side placement. Between nitrogen doses, 100 per cent recommended nitrogen recorded significantly higher cob length, number of grains per row, number of grain per cob, cob yield and grain yields than 75 per cent. Significantly more grain yield of intercropped urdbean was obtained in under paired row planting method than normal planting. Grain yield of urdbean did not vary significantly due to N fertilization and different methods of fertilizer application in maize. Maize grain equivalent yield was found significantly higher in paired row system than normal planting. Different methods of fertilizer application and N dose did not produce significant variations in MGEY. Intercropping of maize showed significantly more MGEY than sole cropping. Intercropping of urdbean in between paired row maize gave significantly higher gross and net returns than normal planting. Method of fertilizer application and dose of nitrogen did not cause significant variation in monetary advantage. Maize may be fertilized with 75 per cent recommended dose of nitrogen in association with legumes. Furrow placement of fertilizers is superior to other methods.Keywords

The results of the present investigation indicate that vermicompost of water hyacinth and coconut leaf showed almost similar pH level (6.81 and 6.92) by Jackson method but it showed higher value in FCO method. Electrical conductivity resulted similar trend for both methods. CEC value for both vermicompost was 74.20 and 72.60cmol kg-1. Organic carbon content in water hyacinth vermicompost was 23.1 per cent and in coconut leaf vermicompost 22.5 per cent. Maximum water holding capacity was much higher (213.90 and 226.2%). Available form of N, P, K, S, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe found very less content with respect to total content except K and Na content in both types of vermicompost. Water hyacinth vermicompost also contains higher values of dehydrogenase activity, microbial biomass carbon content and lower value of urease enzyme activity. Results represented that water hyacinth vermicompost is better in quality than coconut vermicompost with respect to microbial activity. Changes of available nitrogen content over different stages of growth of cauliflower resulted maximum release at 10th day in T6 (168.16mg kg-1) which was 49.38 per cent over control followed by T5 (157.48mg kg-1), T4 (151.95mg kg-1), T2 (137.40mg kg-1), T3 (127.48mg kg-1) and T1 (112.57mg kg-1). But changes of its content in soil through incubation study over the period showed maximum release at different dates under different treatments.Keywords

Plant height and number of primary and secondary branches at different crop growth stages were not affected significantly due to different nutrient levels, however exhibited some improvement over control. Dry matter accumulation by individual plant increased with advancement in cropage till harvest. The highest dry matter accumulation were recorded at 100% NPK+S @ 40 kg/ha treatment. 100% NPK+FYM @ 2.5 t/ha (dry weight) and 100%NPK+ZnSO4 @ 25 kg/ha ranked second and third, respectively in dry matter accumulation after 100% NPK+S @ 40 kg/ha. Days taken to 50% flowering and 80% maturity remained unaffected by different nutrient application levels. 100% NPK+S @ 40 kg/ha recorded significantly higher number of total branches at harvest than remaining treatments. 100% NPK+Borax @ 0.2% (foliar) and 100% NPK+FYM @ 2.5 t/ha (dry weight) recorded next higher to values 100% NPK+S @ 40 kg/ha. Yield attributes viz. number of siliquae per plant, length of siliqua, 1000-seed weight and seed weight per plant were affected significantly due to different nutrient levels. 150% NPK recorded higher number of siliquae per plant, higher number of seeds per siliqua, length of siliqua, 1000-seed weight and seed weight per plant. 150% NPK recorded significantly higher values of seed, stover and biological yield per hectare than remaining treatments. This treatment was followed by 100% NPK+FYM @ 2.5 t/ha (dry weight). Harvest index did not differ significantly under different nutrient levels. The nutrients (N, P and K) concentration in seed and stover remained unaffected by different nutrient levels.The nutrients (N, P and K) uptake by seed, stover and crop was recorded maximum at 150% NPK. The protein content in seed was found non-significant under different nutrient levels. However, it was recorded maximum at 100% NP treatment. The protein yield was found maximum at 150% NPK. The oil content in seed was found non-significant under different nutrient levels. Oil yield in seed was recorded maximum at 150% NPK. The maximum net returns and gross return were recorded at 150% NPK. Highest return per rupee invested was recorded at 150% NPK which was followed by 50% NPK. However, the lowest return per rupee invested was recorded in control condition.Keywords

Drip system can control the rate of water application to achieve application efficiency as high as 92-95%. It is also excellent for soil with higher infiltration rates. In conventional way of nutrient management, the P and K are applied as basal. However, the demand for these two macro-nutrients remains high during the entire growing season. Splitting of K was more beneficial than applying full K at time of planting in soybean. Maize is one of the crop that responses well to phosphatic fertilizers in almost all the soil types. Phosphorus plays vital role in plant nutrition. The deficiency of phosphorus in soil severely limits ischolar_main and shoot growth and thereby affecting the yield. The experiment consisting of 3 irrigation regimes (100% CPE, 80% CPE and 60% CPE), 2 fertilizer dose (75% RDF and 100% RDF), 2 PK splitting (equal and 70/30) along with 2 control treatments (flood IW: CPE 0.8 with mulch and flood IW:CPE 1.0) was laid out in Split Plot Design with three replications. From findings of present investigation based on cob weight without husk it can be inferred that spring maize in sandy loam soil should be irrigated at 80% CPE. It should be fertilized at 90:45:30 N, P2O5, K2O kg/ha with PK application as 70% upto tasseling and 30% thereafter.Keywords

The objectives were to study the appropriate sorghum fodder variety for this zone, work out the optimum fertility level for test genotypes and to study the economically viable treatment. Soil of experimental field was calcareous in nature, medium in available nitrogen (272.00), phosphorus (21.69) and high in available potassium (284.60). The experiment consisted of 24 treatment combinations comprising four levels of fertility (50, 75, 100 and 125% RDF) and six varieties (SPV-2185, SPV-2191, CSV-21F, HC- 308, CSV-30F and PC-1080) laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice. The result showed that among the genotypes, SPV-2185 produced maximum plant height, DMA at 25, 50DAS and at harvest, stem girth and number of leaves plant-1 at harvest, green and dry fodder yield, crude protein, ether extract, crude fibre mineral ash content and TDN in fodder. This genotype also estimated significantly gross and net returns over rest of the genotypes. However, maximum HCN content at 25 and 50DAS, organic carbon, available P and K status in soil after harvest with variety SPV-2191. Genotype CSV-21F produced maximum nitrogen status in soil. An application of 125% RDF recorded maximum plant height, stem girth, number of leaves at harvest, dry matter accumulation at various growth stages, green fodder and dry fodder yield, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, mineral ash content, TDN, HCN at 25 and 50 DAS, available organic carbon nitrogen phosphorus and potassium in soil after harvest over lower doses in all the above parameters. Highest nitrogen free extract were obtained under 50% RDF while, the lowest being recorded fewer than 125% RDF. In case of gross return, net return and B:C ratio with application of 125% RDF recorded significantly higher over 50% RDF, 75% RDF and 100% RDF.Keywords

A variety of fan faults occur in our day to day life such as electrical faults(winding faults), mechanical faults (broken rotor bars, eccentricity, bearing faults) etc. To detect the fault, many motor variables may be taken such as current, voltage, speed, sound, temperature and vibrations, so that the preventive action may be taken before the occurrence of faults in the fan. Current signature is useful for finding electrical faults such as stator faults etc. and acoustic signature is useful for finding mechanical faults such as rotor faults etc. In this paper, the on line current, voltage, rpm and temperature reading of faulty fan and healthy fan are recorded. These recorded signals are used to train a neural network so that it is able to detect the fault.Keywords

The study was carried out to investigate efficacy of fenugreek against general toxicity induced by sub acute exposure of thiacloprid in rats. Wistar rats were divided in four groups having six rats in each group. Group I served as control (corn oil administered as vehicle). Group II served as thiacloprid treated group (@ 22.5 mg/kg b.wt. orally), in Group III (experimental group) thiacloprid along with fenugreek extract (@500 mg/kg.b.wt.orally) and in case of Group IV (experimental group) fenugreek seeds extract (@500 mg/kg.b.wt.orally)were administered. The thiacloprid treated groups showed clinical signs viz lacrimation, piloerection, diarrhoea and dyspnea and significantly decreased absolute and relative body weight, higher relative liver and kidney weight, decreased relative spleen weight and altered hemo-biochemical profile. Fenugreek treatment showed improvement in absolute and relative body weight and organ weight and hemo-biochemical profile. The ethanolic extract of fenugreek has the potential to restore the general toxicity, serum biochemical and hematological parameters caused by sub-acute thiacloprid toxicity.Keywords

This work introduces a method that focuses on enhancing resource allocation in cloud computing environments by considering Quality of Service (QoS) factors. Since resource allocation plays a crucial role in determining the QoS of cloud services, it is important to consider indicators like response time, throughput, waiting time, and makespan. The primary difficulty in cloud computing lies in resource allocation, which can be tackled by proposing a novel algorithm known as Modified Fire Hawks Gazelle Optimization (MFHGO). The proposed approach involves the hybridization of the modified fire hawks algorithm with gazelle optimization to facilitate efficient resource allocation. It aims to optimize several objectives, such as resource utilization, degree of imbalance, completion time, throughput, relative error, and response time. To achieve this, an optimal resource allocation is achieved using the Partitioning around K-medoids (PAKM) clustering approach. The proposed model extends the K-means clustering method. For simulation purposes, the GWA-T-12 Bitbrains dataset is utilized, while the JAVA tool is employed for exploratory analysis. The effectiveness of the proposed resource allocation and clustering approach is demonstrated by comparing it with existing schemes. The proposed work's makespan is 1.45 seconds for 50 tasks, 3.6 seconds for 100 tasks, 3.67 seconds for 150 tasks, and 5.34 seconds for 200 jobs. As a result, the proposed model achieves the smallest makespan value when compared to the previous approaches. The proposed work yielded response times of 105ms for a task length of 100, 376ms for 200, 555ms for 300, 624ms for 400, and 1014ms for 500. These results indicate that the proposed model outperforms current approaches by achieving a faster response time and also attains a bandwidth utilization of 0.80%, 0.90%, and 0.97% for 4, 6, and 16 tasks, respectively, indicating better bandwidth utilization than the other approaches.Keywords
