Salinization is a critical issue as it reduces or inhibits plant growth. The degree of salinization depends on the duration of exposure to sea water and the soil type. Remediation will therefore require much more time and inputs. The steps in the reclamation of saltaffected soils include, Leaching/surface flushing of salts and through the use of salt-tolerant crops and varieties and Noni (Morinda citrifolia) has been identified as one of the potential salt tolerant tree species capable of withstanding salinity. Thus an experiment was conducted in a variety of range of salinity to observe its influence on growth and yield of Noni. The results revealed that Noni could grow upto an EC level of 13.5 dSm-1 with normal flowering and fruiting while the plant exhibited tolerance upto an EC level of 21.3dSm-1. Hence, Noni has emerged as an important alternative crop in Tsunami affected areas of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Since this plant tolerates high salinity and tolerant of ocean salt spray the farmers of the coastal regions may be advised to take up its plantations commercially in large scale in saline area and also in the tsunami affected land. As Noni is tolerant of extreme salinity in general and is thought to possibly gain nutritional benefit from the minerals contained in sea water. It is suggested that Noni may play a vital role in giving boost to the economy to the growers and unused land can be made useful by giving clean green environment.Keywords

Andaman and Nicobar Islands being close to the equator, enjoy tropical humid climate condition, which are much congenial for vegetative and reproductive growth of Morinda citrifolia. Eighty species of Morinda have been reported globally of which, twelve species from different parts of India and three known species found to be in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Great variability within the species is the common occurrence. Owing to its high nutritive value, medicinal importance and having national and international market, there is a possibility for emerging as one of the most remunerative fruit crop to the island farmers. It flowers and fruiting occurs round the year. Noni plant is distributed in almost all parts of the island. It can be found near the coast, in open lands, and grass lands, in gluches and distributed forest of the dryer areas. It tolerates high soil salinity and brackish water stagnation, therefore, the Morinda citrifolia, is the best choice for planting in these affected lands. Farmers are showing much interest in Noni cultivation because of assured income from this plantation. Therefore, studies on its diversity have to be critically examined for various uses from the different tropical parts of the country.Keywords

The field of biosensors is becoming increasingly high tech. This advancement is definitely welcome. But the cost factor is increasingly prohibitive in the underdeveloped and developing countries. Intelligent improvisations for the development of low cost indigenous ( Swadeshi ) science/technology hold the key to the advancement of science/technology in such countries. With this motivation we have developed in our laboratory improvised sensors for urea [1], cholesterol [2] and a simple method for the estimation of insulin [3]. In this article a concise account of these efforts is given. Very recently, we have also attempted to develop a taste sensor [4], the analysis of which utilizes the methods of non-linear science as against the analysis used in the present three sensors.- Drug Receptor Interaction Vis-a-Vis Alternative View of Enzyme Reactions Proposed by Dewar and Storch

An alternative view of drug receptor interaction, which is inspired by the alternative view of enzyme reaction of Dewar and Storch is proposed. It has been suggested that dehydration of receptor site should precede the interaction of drug with receptor. The dehydration step has hitherto not been considered in literature.Keywords

Transport through liquid membranes generated by vitamin D3 in series with a supporting membrane, has been studied. The data have been obtained to show the formation of liquid membrane in series with the supporting membrane. Transports of cations, glucose, and phosphate have been studied in prssence of Vitamin D3. The data on the modification in the permeability of cations, glucose and phosphate has been shown to be consistent with the reported biological actions of vitamin D3.Keywords

A Chrysoperla larval applicator named as Durgapura Chrysoperla larval applicator (DCLA) has been designed, developed and tested for application against soft bodied insect pests in crops. The applicator is cheap, and can be easily fabricated from locally available materials by village artisans. The applicator has a boom (hollow aluminium rod), on which plastic containers are screwed, as per the row spacing of the crops. The entire applicator hangs on the shoulders of the operator. The containers are filled with desired number of Chrysoperla larvae in an inert carrier. During application, the operator walks between the crop rows and keeps on striking the boom with two light wooden rods to facilitate uniform release of the predatory larvae on to the crop. The larvae so released, are either trapped on whorl or leaves and those falling on soil search their way to the prey. The field tests on barley, cotton, cowpea and chilli crops revealed that the applicator performance efficiency ranged from 69.23 to 73.64 per cent, and the output from 2.59 to 3.07 h for one hectare crop area.

Most of the coastal ecosystems face double whammy problems in terms of excess water congestion during the monsoon period and non availability of freshwater during the post monsoon period. Ingression of saline water due to high tide is a challenge to humanity, in general, and agriculture, freshwater resource, fisheries and aquaculture in particular. Eastern part of India is highly populated with plenty of natural resources. But due to lack/poor irrigation infrastructure, maximum freshwater flows to the sea. Hence, this ecosystem requires adequate attention to develop and refine appropriate technological options to facilitate more freshwater availability throughout the year and check the saline water ingression in order to increase the overall land and water productivity of the area. Geographic, engineering, socioeconomic and environmental factors which are closely associated with the water management issues have been reviewed for proper water management options in the coastal ecosystem.Keywords
