Abstract

Buchanania lanzan is considered as difficult to ischolar_main species, hence ischolar_maining trial was conducted using two years old ischolar_main cuttings of Buchanania lanzan in non-mist propagation chamber. The maximum ischolar_maining percent (67.66 ), length of longest ischolar_main (1.89 mm), and number of leaves (1.32) were recorded with IAA 1600 ppm. The maximum ischolar_maining per cent (52.7) was observed in ischolar_main cuttings having 1.5 - 3.5 mm thickness. However, combined effect of cutting thickness and IAA concentration revealed that cuttings having diameter of 3.6 - 5.5 mm showed maximum ischolar_maining percentage with 800 and 1600 ppm IAA

Abstract

Weed control program has considerably enhanced the growth of Populus deltoides G3 at the nursery stage. Though T₄ (manual weeding), was the best method to control weed, but it is labour intensive and costly. T₂ - (Glyphosate-4 application), at the rate of 5 ml diluted in 1 litre of water was also found equally good; thus it is recommended where there is labour scarcity.

Abstract

A passive technique using solid state nuclear track detectors i.e. LR-115 films has been used for the measurement and computation of indoor radon concentration in the 10 different locations including the offices and dwellings in the GZS PTU campus Bathinda, India during the period from Jan- April 2014. The measured indoor radon values in the study area varies from 40 to 120 Bq m-3 with an average value of 80 Bq m^-3. The measured values are less than the recommended action level 200-300 Bq m^-3 (ICRP,2009). The indoor radon values obtained in the almost 90% of the samples are more than the world average of 40 Bq m-3. The calculated annual average dose received by the residents of the study area varies from 0.68 mSv to 2.05 mSv with an average value of 1.367 mSv which was calculated using parameters introduced in report by UNSCEAR (2000). These values are less than the recommended levels of 3-10 mSv. Hence there is no visible radiological risk to the residents of the study area.

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of crop diversification and intensification in ricewheat cropping system on production potential, profitability and energy use efficiency on sandy clay loam soil at Agricultural Research farm, B.H.U., Varanasi, U.P. The treatments comprising of 14 crop sequences were arranged in a randomized block design under three replications. The overall productivity of the system in terms of RGEY was noticed significantly highest in rice-potato-black gram (312.73 q ha-1yr-1) over rest of the cropping sequence except rice-maize (cob) + veg. Pea (1:2) – green gram cropping sequence (301.91 q ha-1yr-1). The net energy return was maximum under ricemaize (cob) + veg. Pea (1:2) –green gram cropping sequence (163.78 ‘000 MJ ha-1yr-1) followed by rice-potato-black gram. Energy output: input ratio was also highest in rice-maize (cob) + veg. Pea (1:2) – green gram cropping sequence (4.01). Early pigeon pea – wheat-maize (fodder) cropping sequence registered maximum land utilization efficiency (97.81%) followed by rice-rapeseed-onion cropping sequence (90.68%) and the value was lowest in rice-wheat cropping sequence (68.49%).

Abstract

Common bleeding manifestations after viperine bite include bleeding from site of bite, bleeding gums, epistaxis, hemoptysis, hematuria, hematemesis, and intracranial bleed. Bleeding in the adrenal gland is a rare manifestation. We report here a patient of viperine bite who developed right adrenal hematoma and right hemothorax after 3 days of bite. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case report of adrenal hematoma and right hemothorax after Echis carinatus bite.
