A mathematical model for immobilized enzyme system in porous spherical particles was developed. This model contains a non-linear term related to reversible Micahlies- Menten kinetics. Analytical expression pertaining to the substrate concentration was reported for all possible values of Thiele moduleφ , parameters c and k s . In this work, we report the theoretically evaluated steady-state concentration for immobilized enzyme systems in porous spherical particles for zero order, first order and second order reaction meacnisms. Herein we employ "Homotopy perturbation method" (HPM) to solve non-linear reaction /diffusion equation.Keywords

A mathematical model of packed-bed immobilized enzyme (IME) reactor is presented. The model is based on system of reaction-diffusion equations containing a non-linear term related to Michaelis-Menten kinetics of the enzymatic reaction. A simple and closed approximate analytical expression of the steady-state concentrations and effectiveness factor in a Packed-bed immobilized enzyme reactor are derived for all values of the reaction diffusion parameters. In this paper, He's Homotopy perturbation method is implemented to give approximated and analytical expression of concentration of substrate and effectiveness factor for all values of the parameters.Keywords

The mathematical model of two-species oscillator is discussed. A simple approximate analytical expression of concentration profiles is derived in terms of all dimensionless parameters. Furthermore, in this work we employ the Homotopy perturbation method to solve the non-linear reaction equations. Moreover, the analytical results have been compared to the numerical simulation using Matlab program. The simulated results are agreed with the appropriate theories.Keywords

A mathematical model of bioreduction of acetophenone in an up-flow packed bed reactor is presented. This paper presents an approximate analytical method (Homotopy perturbation method) to solve the non-linear differential equations for Michaelis-Menten formalism that describe the concentrations of oxygen within the enzymatic layer. A simple and closed-form of expressions pertaining to oxygen concentration and effectiveness factor are presented for possible value of diffusion parameters. These analytical results are compared with numerical results and they are found to be in good agreement.Keywords

Grape berries were treated with different biological agents to test their efficacy in reducing post harvest incidence of black mould rot and minimize the loss. The agents Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Trichoderma and yeast isolates were individually screened against the black rot pathogen Aspergillus carbonarius. B. subtilis strains EPC-8 and EPCO-16 and T. harzianum (Th Co) showed high mycelial growth suppression of A. carbonarius in vitro. The effective biological control agents were tested in pre, post and combined inoculation studies against A. carbonarius in grape berries. In the pre inoculation, B. subtilis (EPC-8) showed 57.80 per cent reduction in the incidence of A. carbonarius followed by T. harzianum (Th Co) (48.43 percent). The same trend of effectiveness was also found in the post-inoculation and combined inoculation tests under storage conditions at room temperature in grape berries.Keywords

Four different organic substrates, viz., decomposed coir pith, dried cow dung, rice bran and tea waste, were tested tor the growth of Trichoderma viride (isolate t). The population (CFU) of T. viride on various substrates was estimated at 20th, 30th, 40th and 60th day after inoculation by serial dilution plate technique. The population of T. viride was highest on 20th day in sterilized tea waste (236.30 × 106 cfu), followed by rice bran (152 × 106 cfu), decomposed coir pith (44.35 × 106 cfu), talc (36 × 106 cfu) and dried cow dung (20 × 106 cfu). Sterilized substrate was favourable for the multiplication of T. viride except for dried cow dung. The population increased in all the substrates except talc on 30th day and declined from 40th day onwards.Keywords

This paper attempts to quantitatively analyse the growth and development of Pigeonpea Pulse Crop research in India in terms of publication output as reflected in CAB Direct Online Database. During the period 1974-2014 scientists of India published a total of 3534 papers on the subject. The most preferred journals were the International Pigeonpea Newsletter with 272 papers (7.69%) followed by Indian Journal of Agronomy with 214 papers (6.05%). The study revealed that Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, Indian Journal of Pulses Research, Journal of Maharashtra Agricultural Universities contributed 415 papers (11.72%) of Indian research output on Pigeonpea Pulse Crop.Keywords

Seed biopriming followed by foliar spray of different newer fungicide molecules to manage sunflower leaf spot under field conditions have been tried in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India for three consecutive years (2014-2016). The result indicated that among the different treatments tested, seed biopriming with TNAU Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf1) @ 10g/kg seeds followed by spray of Hexaconazole @ 0.1% at 45 days and P. fluorescens (Pf1) @ 1.0% at 60 DAS showed less severity of Alternaria leaf spot (25.7) with the highest yield of 1471kg/ha against the control (47.7) which recorded yield of 1111kg/ha. In addition, seed biopriming promoted higher and uniform seed germination under field conditions.Keywords

The present study was carried out to evaluate the indigenous fungi from soil against the ischolar_main knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. Eleven isolates were isolated and screened for their efficacy against nematode under in vitro condition for egg hatching and juvenile mortality. The results revealed that the isolate F6 showed the highest egg hatching inhibition (88.5%) followed by F11 and F7 compared to control after incubation for 72 h. The highest juvenile mortality of 73% was recorded in isolate F6 followed by F11 and F9 after 72 h. Isolate F6 was morphologically and molecularly identified as Talaromyces pinophilus and F9 and F11 were identified as Aspergillus corrugates and Aspergillus nidulans. Among the fungi, T. pinophilus was found to be highly effective against ischolar_main knot nematode.
