Roving survey was conducted in major banana growing regions of Karnataka during 2011-12 and it revealed that the disease incidence ranged from zero to hundred per cent. Maximum incidence was recorded on Kadali variety in Bangalore followed by Mysore (Devarasanahalli) (51.0%), Nanjanagudu (48.0%) and Mandya (Bukanakere) (44.0%) on Rasthali and Ney Poovan cultivars. The disease was not observed in Belgaum area. Pseudostem vascular infection was maximum (6.0) in cultivars of Rasthali and Ney Poovan in Nanjanagudu, Devarasanahalli and Bukanakere.Keywords

Investigations were undertaken in pot to assess a possible interaction between Panama wilt of banana caused by Fusarium oxysporumf. sp. cubense and burrowing nematode Radopholus similis. The disease incidence was highest in inoculation of burrowing nematode (Radopholus similis) followed by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense and inoculation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense followed burrowing nematode (Radopholus similis) and simultaneous inoculation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense and burrowing nematode (Radopholus similis). Plant growth parameters were least in simultaneous inoculation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense and burrowing nematode (Radopholus similis).Keywords

Effect of different temperature, light intensity and pH were tested against the growth and sporulation of Colletotrichum musae under in vitro conditions. Results indicated that the growth of Colletotrichum musae was maximum at 30 °C (72.25 mm) followed by 25 °C (68.25 mm), 20 °C (53.00 mm), 15 °C (52.75 mm) and it was lowest growth (12.00 mm) at 35 °C. Exposure of Colletotrichum musae to alternate cycles of 12 hr light and 12 hr darkness, continous light and under normal condition (room temperature) resulted in the maximum mycelial growth (90.00 mm) and heavy sporulation. The variation in growth of Colletotrichum musae at different pH were found to be significant. Result of the study revealed that at pH 7.0 fungus produced maximum growth of 977.0 mg followed by 960.0 mg at pH 8.0, 957.0 mg at pH 6.0, 948.0 mg at pH 5.0 and 922.0 mg at pH 4.0.Keywords

A nationwide survey is being conducted for mapping uranium content in drinking water sources across India, in association with local educational and research institutions. For this, an optimum grid size of 6 × 6 sq. km was selected based on the international practices for geochemical mapping. About 55,554 surface as well as groundwater samples, used for drinking purpose, were collected covering approximately 1.2 × 106 sq. km. Light emitting diode-based fluorimeter having wide dynamic range and 0.2 μg l–1 lower detection limit was used for direct measurement of uranium content in the water samples. Uranium was detected in 83.6% of all the collected water samples. The geometric mean of uranium concentration in surface and groundwater samples was found to be 0.8 μg l–1 (range: ≤0.2–22 μg l–1) and 2.1 μg l–1 (range: ≤0.2–4918 μg l–1) respectively. Out of 12 water quality parameters measured to understand the geochemical processes governing uranium content in water sources, eight were found to exceed the acceptable limits set by the Bureau of Indian Standards for drinking water. The parameters sulphate, chloride, nitrate, fluoride, total dissolved solids, alkalinity and hardness exceeded their limits by 4.2%, 12.9%, 14%, 20.5%, 34.3%, 45% and 51.6% respectively. Uranium content in 98% of groundwater samples was found to be less than the national limit set by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board for radiological safety. Dissolved uranium content in groundwater samples showed an upward trend with total dissolved solids and depth of water sources. No surface water samples exceeded the prescribed regulatory limit.Keywords

In the early days of India’s nuclear energy programme, Homi Bhabha realized the importance of health physics and radiation safety aspects of nuclear facilities. The health physics and radiation protection activities have grown over the years with the multi-dimensional expansion of nuclear fuel cycle facilities and application of radiation in research, medicine and industry. This initiative further helped in laying a strong foundation for a national regulatory framework. AERB has established a multitier system of safety review and assessment to ensure that the use of ionizing radiation and nuclear energy does not pose an undue risk to the public and the environment.References
