The present study was conducted to analyze the economics of groundnut crop. The study area was selected on the basis of highest area and production under this crop. The selected area was Jaipur district under groundnut crop. The present investigation was carried out to study the cost of cultivation and constraints in production confronted by farmer of selected groundnut crop. In groundnut about 77 per cent cost was variable cost and among fixed cost, renal value of owned land was found highest (17 %) of the total cost. The overall cost of production was Rs. 2399 on cost C3 basis. The gross income per hectare in cultivation of groundnut was Rs. 57557. The net income was workout Rs. 8610. However, return on per rupee with rental value owned land was Rs. 1.16 and without rental value Rs. 1.41. The study of constraints in production of the groundnut crop revealed that all the production problems were common in the study area. The timely not availability of labour, irrigation supply, electricity, lack of storage facility at farm level, weeding problem, unawareness of the seed rate were the major constraints identified in production of oilseed crops.Keywords

Amphibolites of Precambrian age around Mathurapur occur in two distinct geologic settings i.e., (i) as discordant bodies associated with orthopyroxene-bearing gabbros (massive amphibolite) and (ii) as concordant bands following the general foliation direction (S2) of the gneissic country rock (schistose amphibolites). Both varieties of amphibolites have igneous parentage and have affinities with high alumina olivine . tholeiite magmatic liquid. The massive amphibolites have formed due to retrograde alteration of orthopyroxene gabbros. whereas, schistose amphibolites probably represent a separate metamorphosed basic magmatic phase in the area.Full Text

Correlation of seven chronostratigraphic sequences in over 300 wells drilled in the six structural blocks constituting the Bombay Offshore Basin has helped in defining the stratigraphy, paleogeography and facies distribution and suggesting a model for shelf carbonate deposition. The sequences correlated are: Paleocene-Early Eocene, Middle-Upper Eocene, Lower Oligocene, Upper Oligocene, Lower Miocene, Middle Miocene and Middle Miocene-Holocene.
The most significant observations arc 1) Surat depression and its southward extension through other grabens up to Ratnagiri block contain a restricted marine, paralic and continental shale, sand and coal facies of 500-3000 m. thickness, deposited during syn-rift. Paleocene-Early Eocene phase. This is the principal source rock in the basin. 2) The main reservoirs are the Miocene limestones in Bombay High and Middle Eocene and Lower Oligocene limestones in other areas. 3) The main sandstone reservoirs are in the Oligocene sequences in Daman-Tapti area of Surat depression and in the Paleocene-Lower Eocene sequence in Heera-Bassein and Ratnagiri blocks. 4) By tracing the clastic dispersal.pattern, it is shown that Saurashtra basin and Shelf Margin basin with their excessive Upper Oligocene-Holoccne fill are less favourable than the rest of the basin in hydrocarbon potential.
A homoclinal ramp model is suggested for the shallow shelf carbonate deposition. The suggested carbonate depositional model indicates that the platfonn areas are susceptible to shale incursions from the east which could affect the reservoir properties of limestone in many areas. Almost all the major carbonate pay zones are associated with unconformities and diastems and the principal porosity is telogenetic.

In 2007, with the help of DBT, a research project to create mutant resources for functional genomics in rice was launched through a national initiative involving ICAR-National Research Centre on Plant Biotechnology, New Delhi; ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi; Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore; ICAR-Indian Institute of Rice Research, Hyderabad; University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore and Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Genetically well-defined material is a prerequisite for functional genomics. Thus, the project aimed to generate EMS mutants in the background of an upland and short duration aus genotype, Nagina22, characterize the mutants and use them in crop improvement. As of now, nearly 85,000 rice M2 mutant populations have been created under the project. Based on field phenotyping, gain and or loss of function mutants for tolerance to herbicide spray, drought, salinity and resistance to rice leaf and panicle blast, sheath blight and high phosphorus (P) use efficiency under low P field have been identified. Notably, the herbicide-tolerant mutant identified is under the process of registration for distribution to public and private rice breeders under appropriate material transfer agreement. Besides this, the project also aims to serve as a 'National Repository of rice EMS mutant resource' for the researchers involved in rice biology and improvement in the country.Keywords

SSRs or microsatellites are tandem repeats of 2-8nt units of DNA and are ubiquitous in all genomes studied so far. SSR markers have many advantages over the other marker systems. The first advantage is their high reproducibility, which would be the most important in genetic analysis. The second advantage of the SSR marker system is the polymorphic genetic information contents. The third advantage has to do with the co-dominant nature of SSR polymorphisms. The fourth advantage of the SSR marker system is their abundance and distribution in genomes. A fifth advantage of the SSR marker system is that SSRs are preferentially associated with non-repetitive DNA. This review focuses on some of the reasons for SSR mutations that occur due to replication or repair process which may depend on not only the motif size but also the nucleotide composition of each motif as well as orientation of repeats or position with reference to replication origin. In this review tools for SSRs available are given with their advantages and disadvantages.Keywords

Parental bonding is characterized by intense attachment between parents and children which contains the sense of trust, love, care, and affection. It has long been proposed that aspects of the parent-child relationship dispose the child to depression in adulthood. This study was undertaken to examine the parental bonding among individuals with recurrent depressive disorder and normal controls. The study was a cross sectional and the sample was recruited from July 2013 to Jan 2014 through consecutive sampling method. The sample was consisted of 30 patients with the diagnosis of recurrent depressive disorder as per ICD-10 and 30 normal controls. Age range for both groups was 18 to 50 years. Both groups were matched in terms of age, sex and education. To assess the seventy of depression Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) and Parental Bonding Instrument and was used to assess the parental bonding in both the group. The two groups differed significantly in terms of mother and father care&protection. Low mother and father care and high mother and father protection was found in Recurrent Depressive Disorder (RDD) as compared to normal controls.Keywords

The brinjal crop covers largest area and plays an important role in total vegetable production in India. Brinjal crop suffers more from fruit and shoot borer insect pest and disease attack. Due to lack of awareness of farmers, KVK scientists promoted the integrated pest management practices in district for the suppression of pests and diseases. The integrated pest management strategy involving many components was demonstrated through innovative large scale contagious technology demonstration in 20 ha brinjal (local variety) crop area during the year 2014 during Kharif season in Mau district in Uttar Pradesh, India. The various production and protection parameters indicated that adoption of IPDM strategies decreased the cost of production without affecting the yield. The IPDM demonstration, insecticides sprays quantity reduction in brinjal was 100 lit. per hectare, respectively as compared to the local check. Adoption of IPDM technology increased the net income over the local check in brinjal local varieties Rs. 2,57,500/ha. In spite of increase in yield of brinjal, technological gap, extension gap and technology index existed. The improved technology gave higher gross return, net return with higher benefit cost ratio as farmers’ practices.

The credit need to the farmers of Sriganganagar and Hanumangarh was about 40-42 per cent and 68 to 74 per cent to the farmers of Bikaner and Churu district of the total amount registered for recommended dose of inputs. In case of term loan about 42 to 54 per cent was needed to the farmers of study area for purchasing of farm equipments and machinery, minor irrigation system and for land development purposes. Of the credit need about 28 to 49 per cent short term credit was supplied to the farmers of study area. In case of term credit about 50 to 69 per cent term loan was supplied to the borrower farmers by financial institutions in study area. Purpose wise highest term credit (58 to 54 %) was provided for farm machinery and equipment to the farmers of Hanumangarh and Sriganganagar district. However, the higher 54-60 per cent term credit was supplied for minor irrigation to the farmers of Bikaner and Churu district. The total credit supplied varied from 82 to 87 per cent of the total credit need. The utilization pattern of the short term credit among small, medium and large farms of the study area was about 68 per cent (small) to 92 per cent (large farms). On an average utilized amount of the short term loan by the farmers of Bikaner region as whole was about 77 to 85 per cent of the total credit supplied for production purposes. About 79 to 85 per cent term loan and 82 to 87 per cent total loan was utilized by the farmers of Bikaner region. The short term credit gap of the borrower farmers of Bikaner region was estimated about 13 to 19 per cent, however, the supply gap in respect of term credit was 19 to 48 per cent of the total term credit need. The financial institutions preferred to provide the credit to the farmers having larger land holding. The repayment performance was found higher on small farmers followed by medium and large farmers in the study area. The repayment performance of short term loan on overall level was about 69 to 86 per cent. About 65 to 85 per cent difference farm large to small farms was found in repayment performance in the study area. The overdues amount was increased with increase in size of land holding. The extent of overdues increase of term loan ranged 15 to 33 per cent. The gross farm income, non farm income, cropping intensity, amount put for productive purposes and total land holding was significantly negative effect in overdues and variables such as amount put for unproductive farm expenses, old debts, live stock expenditure were having positive relationship with overdues.Keywords

The study was conducted to analyse the growth of agricultural credit over period of time, credit disbursement pattern and their utilization, credit gap, repayment performance, overdues and impact of agricultural credit on agricultural development and constraints in advancing the agricultural credit. The study was conducted in the district of Bikaner region viz., Sriganganagar, Hanumangarh, Bikaner and Churu district. A lead bank of each selected district was selected purposively for collection of secondary and primary data in respect of agricultural loan supplied to the farmers. The selected banks were Oriental Bank of Commerce from Sriganganagar, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur from Hanumangarh and Bikaner districts and Bank of Baroda for Churu district. A sample of 30 farmers was drawn as borrower farmers from each selected district by probability proportion to the number of borrower farmers in each group (small, medium and large farms). Similarly, 30 non-borrower farmers was also selected from each district using the similar method as borrower farmers to analyse the impact of credit. The analysis of data revealed that the higher growth rate 29.40 per cent was on credit supplied for crop loan followed by 26.10 per cent for minor irrigation system, 20.50 per cent for farm machinery and 10.10 per cent for land development in Bikaner region as whole.Keywords

The current study on the status of the soil fertility in Kalakankar block of dist. Pratapgarh U.P. by total 36 (0-15) soil samples. Soil sample (were collected from): three villages namely Alapur, Shahabad and Sahijani of Kalakankar block District Pratapgarh. The organic carbon content of all the three villages varied from low to medium. The available N content of all the three villages was found to be low and it was found to be in positive co–relation with the carbon content of the lands. The available N content was higher in medium land type of Shahabad in comparison to similar land type of other two villages. The available P content of all soil in all the three villages was moderate. However, the P content of the Alapur village was higher than other two villages because of the higher content of organic matter. The available K contents of all the soil of all the three villages was moderate to high and especially in the Sahijani village it was highest. This is the good indication for the high yield of various vegetable, fruits and tuber crops with a high amount of K. The S content was found to be comparatively higher in the medium land soil of all three villages, The available Zn content was moderate to rich in all types of soil, however, upland of all three village were rich in Zn content in comparison to medium and low land of the village. Bo content was higher in all types of soil of three villages. The various result obtained from the different soil tests gave information about the nutrients status of the soil, under study and on the basis of these findings, a balanced recommendation of fertilizers and manures to various crops can be made, that will help in increasing the productivity of different food crops.Keywords

India does not have a clear stand on the release and consumption of genetically modified crops (food). The only approved crop is Bt-cotton, which has put India on the global map as a cotton exporting country. Even so, Bt-brinjal is under moratorium and GM mustard is prevented from undergoing commercial trial. All these decisions are not based on sound scientific principles. Activism against has successfully prevented exploitation of a powerful technology that can contribute to India’s food and nutrition security. This article attempts to give a balanced perspective of genetic modification technology as one of the serious options to be considered on case to case basis. Ambivalence will seriously affect India’s food security in the future.Keywords
