Special Sensor Microwave/lmager (SSM/I onboard the Defence Meteorological Satellite measures brightness temperature. Microwave remote sensing sensors have the capabilities of sensing the Earth surface through cloud cover day and night. Using these sensors, day to day monitoring of Earth, ocean and snow covered regions can be effectively carried out. In the present paper, we have analysed the brightness temperature observed by the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) satellite over the Indian subcontinent. The brightness temperature over the lndian subcontinent shows characteristic fentures over snow, ocean, desert and land regions. The contrast in brightness temperature over ocean and land regions is seen which is plausible due to contrast in the dielectric properties of ocean and land.Keywords

Visual interpretation of IRS-lCWIFS image has revealed some important geomorphic features controlled by the fluvial dynamics of the river and the subsurface structural features. Geomorphological features present in this region have been studied and correlated with the subsurface structural features and associated tectonic changes which have occurred in the recent past. Faizabad Ridge is the main tectonic element in the southern part of Indo-Gangetic plain and it has been found to playa key role in the evolution of the contemporary topography. The striking similarities have been observed in the occurrence of subsurface features and geomorphological features allover the peripheral regions of the Faizabad ridge. The severe problem of soil salinity/alkalinity occurring in this patt of the Indo-Gangetic plain is attributed to the changes which occurred in Paleogene period associated with the evolution of the Faizabad ridge in the basement.Keywords

Magneto-variational (MV) and Magnetotelluric (MT) methods use natural geomagnetic fields which have been found to be affected by the ocean worldwide. During last decade, MV and MT studies have been carried out in the western part of India. In the present paper, two-dimensional modelling has been carried out to investigate the coast effect on MV and MT data observed near the coast. Varying coastal and continental layer parameters of the western part of the Deccan trap region have been taken to examine the coast effect. The MV and MT data are found to be affected by the coast up to 300 km.Keywords

The Gujarat earthquake of 26 January 2001 brought out changes on the land features and ocean parameters. The present paper describes the changes observed on the land surface in the field and also from the satellite data. The results of resistivity soundings in the epicentral region reveal a low resistivity layer especially in the liquefaction sites. These sites are found to be the cause of sinking of the houses, whereas elsewhere the damage pattern was totally different.Keywords

The present study was conducted to evaluate ten advanced germplasm of kodo millet for different physico- biochemical and yield related traits in kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) during Kharif 2013- 14 at the Students’ Instructional farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (U.P.) India. A wide range of variability were observed for all the characters studied in 10 kodo millet germplasm collected from farmer’s field of eastern U.P. A significant variation was detected for all traits suggested that there was considerable variability among the germplasm. It was observed that characters viz., plant height of different germplasms recorded between . 50.85 to70.07cm. The 1000- seed weight (test weight) of different germplasms was recorded between 3.86 to 7.78 g and maximum protein content was recorded in the germplasm NDK-8 (9.86%). The maximum crude fibre content was obtained in the germplasm NDK-9 (6.90%) followed by NDK2 (6.81%) and NDK7 (6.80%). Maximum total mineral content was noticed in NDK-5 (2.29%) and lowest content was recorded in NDK-4 (1.94%). These parameters are effective for selection of better germplasm. So these were utilized in further research work.

The present investigation was carried out at Student’s Instructional Farm of N.D.U.A. and T, Kumarganj Faizabad in the Kharif season 2014. Eleven germplasm of kodo millet namely, K-1, K-2, K-3, K-4, K-5, K-6, K-7, K-8, K-9, K-10 and KK1 were collected and used as experimental material in the field trail. The seeds of kodo millet germplasm were sown in Randomized Block with three replications on 4th August 2014. During experimentation recommended agronomical practices were adopted to achieve good crop. After harvesting the seeds of each germplasm were collected separately and used for the analysis of various biochemical and antinutritional parameters. The seeds of each germplasm were ground into fine powder stage and stored in desiccator for further analysis. Highest protein content was reported in the germplasm K-6 (9.53%). The tryptophan content in germplasm was recorded higher in K-6 (0.87g/16gN) while methionine content was reported in K-6 (0.73g/16gN).Lysine content was found highest in K-6(3.28g/16gN). Total mineral content and crude fibre were noticed maximum in K-4(4.54%) and K-2(6.93%).The antnutritional factors such as phytic acid, total phenol and tannin content were reported less in the germplasm K-6(114.61mg/100g),K-6(63.74 mg/100g) and K-6(102.22 mg/100g).On the basis of overall observations the germplasm K-6, K-10, K-3 and K-9 were found superior and utilized in further research work.
