Krishi Vigyan Kendra Jaora District Ratlam conducted Front Line Demonstration programme for increase yield of Kharif crop soybean through use of improved variety seed in KVK operating area. Soybean is one of the most important oilseed crops in Madhya Pradesh, where it is grown 4.25 million ha area with the annual production of 4.50 million tones. Its cultivation is pre dominantly done in Ratlam district. It is observed that the farmers of Patidar, Dhakad and Aanjna community adopted the technology easily in comparison to other community farmers. Similarly adoption technology was more in educated farmer than uneducated farmers. Rich farmers took risk and adopted new technology faster than poor farmers. Front Line Demonstration was conducted for year 2004-05 to 2008-09 showed that percentage increased 29.36 to 41.50 compared to farmers practice in yield every year. Front line demonstration play important role in increasing the production of soybean with provide full package of practices to the farmers, like providy improved seed, seed inoculation with rhizobium culture, seed treatment with carbendazim or thiram, application of plant protection measures and weedicide application.Keywords

Antifertility, AD50 with effect of Artemisia vulgaris isolated leaf extract on hatchability was noted. These median antifertility doses 0.6529μg, 0.4753 percent and 0.5198 percent per weevil were obtained in topical, dipping and injection (12μl/weevil) methods respectively. Probit analysis for dose response data for Artemisia vulgaris leaf extract showed that linear relationship existed in between the concentration (Log x) and percentage antifertility induced (Probit Y). Mortality, LD50 was observed with effect of Artemisia vulgaris, isolated leaf extract during hatchability were 0.7589g; 0.4743 percent and 0.5139 percent per weevil were obtained in topical, dipping and injection (12μl/weevil) methods respectively. Probit analysis showed that a linear relationship existed in between the concentration (Log x) and percent mortality induced (Probit Y).Keywords

Mid-Oceanic Ridge Basalt (MORB) samples collected from southern East Pacific Rise (SEPR) have been investigated. These highly phyric plagioclase basalts (HPPB) and moderately phyric plagioclase basalts (MOPB) show rare cumulate and vitrophyric textures with plagioclase (>10% as phenocryst) and abundant glass (>72%). Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA) showed large compositional variations in the megacrysts as well as microcrysts of plagioclase (An62 to An82), olivine (Fo78 to Fo87), pyroxene (ferroaugite to augite) and iron oxides, mostly titaniferous magnetite. Olivine grains show high Mg# (>80%) and distinctly low in NiO (0.01-0.2%). Ferroan trevorite (NiO = 16.22 and FeO(t) = 83.06) a characteristic meteoritic mineral has been identified from the olivine megacrysts of MORB, possibly attributed to Ni-enrichment, resulted from heterogeneity of the lower mantle. Wide range of An composition in plagioclase is indicative of large pressure range of crystal nucleation under decompression at a depth of ∼70 km (An82) up to the ocean spreading centre. Absence of zoning observed in all the minerals present in the MORB samples, possibly attributed to unmixing and dominant fractionation process.Keywords

Motivating employees remains the most difficult task for all managers. Getting things done through others requires a great deal of motivation so that people do the task in a committed and enthusiastic manner. Researches on motivational aspects are carried in large numbers because underneath it lies the knowledge of why people do things they do? One of the earliest notable contributions in this area is that of Abraham Maslow. He postulated the theory of "Hierarchy of Needs" in explaining the human behaviour. This theory was later challenged by some other behaviourists on the account of insufficient data and concept of hierarchy but it is still one of the key concepts in motivation taught to all managers. Motivation like other phenomenon associated with management was present since time immemorial. Nobody can survive without doing anything and nothing is done without motivation. India is considered one of the richest countries in culture, traditions and ethos and has one of the oldest histories of unbroken culture. Our ancient texts provide a rare glimpse of the life, traditions and values of our ancestors. These texts are rich in philosophical teachings, many of which form the basis of modern day management principles. India has its own theories on motivation and at times its in consonance with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. This article tries to collect some evidences of these theories from our ancient texts and their relevance to the modern management.- Bio-Efficacy of Azoxystrobin Fungicide against Anthracnose Disease of Mango (Mangifera indica L.)

The present investigation was carried out to test the efficacy of various post harvest treatments using gamma irradiation, growth retardants and coatings on quality and sensory parameters of Kagzi lime under ambient conditions. Among various treatments, pure coconut oil coating was very effective as higher TSS, acidity, vitamin C, juice content, flavour, appearance and taste were retained during storage. Pure coconut oil coated fruits maintained natural light-green colour upto 24 days of storage, which was acceptable to consumers.Keywords

Rainfall is very important parameter in hydrological model. Many techniques and models have been developed for rainfall time series prediction. In this study an artificial neural network (ANN) based model was developed for rainfall time series forecasting. Proposed model used Multilayer perceptron (MLP) network with back propagation algorithm for training. Discharge and rainfall data are took as input parameter for ANN model to predict rainfall time series. Data preprocessing and model’s sensitivity analysis were executed. Collected data is divided in three sets for optimal neural network training. The first set is the training set, used for calculate the gradient and updating the network weights and biases. The second set is the validation set. The error on the validation set is follow during the training process. The third set is test set. It is used to compare different models. Different topologies of Neural Networks were created with change in hidden layer, number of processing element and activation function. Mean Absolute error (MAE), Mean Squared error (MSE) and correlation coefficient (CC) are used to evaluate the model performance. On the basis of these evaluation parameter results, it is found that multilayer perceptron (MLP) network predict more accurate than other traditional models.Keywords

Objectives: This paper aims to bring out the causal relationship between fish preferences and its consumption pattern among the fisheries science postgraduate students who migrated from a different part of India for higher educations in the Institute of ICAR-CIFE at Mumbai. It also studied the primary factors which are responsible for the fish consumption and also addressed the number of ways that may bring awareness among the consumers to increase the fish consumption in their locality.
Methods/Statistical analysis: The samples for the study were collected randomly with the help of random tables; a total of 30 postgraduate respondents was collected at ICAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Education placed in Mumbai. Descriptive statistics viz., frequency and percentage analysis were used for the analysis. The responses are represented graphically as well as in tables for the better understanding. The rank-basedquotient (RBQ) was used to rank consumer preferences regarding different forms and the primary factors which are responsible for the selection of most preferred fish species.
Findings: The findings of the study depicted that maximum respondents were from Tamil Nadu (16.7%) followed by Kerala (13.3%) and Chhattisgarh (13.3%). It was also found that majority (55.41%) of the respondent’s preferred freshwater fishes while 44.59% were in favor of marine fishes. The results of the study also indicated that the factors which are responsible for selecting a different form of fish for consumption were primarily by taste (91.33%) followed by availability (81.33%) and affordable price (57.33%) and the knowledge of fish cooking skills (37.33%). The study added further that there is a less preference among the respondents about the consumption of marine fishes as compared to the freshwater fisheries due to the several criteria viz., taste, availability, affordability and the cooking skills.
Application/ Improvement: The finding of the study will provide an idea about the fish preferences and consumption pattern among the consumers since it covers the respondent from different parts of India at a single sampling site. It supports the marketing companies to spot the target consumers by focusing their demands, which also strengthen the supply/value chain of the fish marketing by reducing the number of intermediaries. Increasing the availability of fish and fishery products through online marketing, direct marketing, availability of various recipes of preparing marine fishes in the form of books or leaflets, creating awareness about the nutritive value of fish, availability of processed fish product (value addition and hygienic condition), year-round availability of fish, advertisement through mass media are the suggestions for fostering better fish marketing and efficient fish consumption.

The purpose of this study was to collect a data related to, but are not limited to, medico legal aspect, manner of death, type of firearm used, anatomical site involved, range of fire and their direction pertaining to manner of death in fatal firearm injury (FFI) cases, as limited data are available for such fatalities in this region. The direction of the internal bullet path has not been investigated in this area. This study was designed to address that deficiency.
Method - A prospective study over a period of 22 months was carried out on FFI cases brought to the mortuary.
Result - Among 54 FFI cases during study period, homicidal deaths were outnumbered the accidental and suicidal cases. Country made firearm was used in 37.03% FFI cases. More than one entry wound found only in homicidal cases. The typical entry wounds (n-59) in homicide were fired from close or near distance (61.02%), thorax were commonly involved (44.07%) with direction of fire running backward 73.08% (n-19), downward 69.23% (n-18) and towards the right 76.92% (n-20). Entry wound (n-5) in accidental FFI cases were fired from close or near range in 80%, abdomen involved in 80% (n-4) with direction of fire downward 75% (n-3), towards right 75% (n-3) and forward in 50% (n-2),and backward in 50% (n-2). In suicidal cases (n-3) head was involved in 66.67% (n-2) with all direction in backward, upward and towards left side.
Conclusions - Country made firearms were involved in majority of cases. Multiple shots were present only in homicidal cases. Non contact entry wounds strongly indicate homicidal death. In homicidal death thorax was commonly involved and the direction of internal bullet path was towards the backward, downward and to the right side (B-D-R) in majority of cases. In all suicidal cases, the direction of fire was backward, upward and to left.

This study measures in situ microbial glucose uptake rate in two different hot springs in Ladakh, J&K, India with distinct temperatures >74°C and pH > 7.4. For this purpose, the slurry samples from each hot spring were incubated up to 4 h with 13C-labelled glucose in gas-tight incubation bottles at the respective hot-spring sites. The natural δ13C particulate varies from –9.1‰ in Panamik hot spring to –11.7‰ in Puga hot spring. After incubation with 13C-labelled glucose, the δ13C particulate reached a maximum 2472‰ in Panamik and 4365‰ in Puga hot-spring samples. The glucose uptake rate calculated from the final δ13C particulate in the incubation bottles varied from 28 to 147 ng C g–1 h–1 in the Panamik and from 168 to 1196 ng C g–1 h–1 in the Puga samples. This reveals that even at >74°C temperature, thermophiles are capable of running their metabolic machinery, perhaps faster than the heterotrophic microbes/cells under normal temperature condition.Keywords

Banking sector plays a key role in the economic development of a country especially a developing country like India. Banks act as lubricants for the entire economy in general and the monetary and financial system in particular. Since a large section of the Indian population lives in rural area, their participation in economic activities is a perquisite for the overall development of the country as a whole. There is a need for robust banking system in rural areas, which not only provides them safe and cost-effective avenue to keep their money but also provides affordable and timely credit for their livelihood activities largely revolving around agriculture and allied sectors. Based on the recommendations given by the Narasimhan committee, the regional rural banks (RRBs) were established as low cost institutions to serve the rural economy by providing credit to farmers particularly to small and marginal farmers, agricultural labourers, artisans and small entrepreneurs for agriculture, and other productive activities in the rural areas. This article tries to understand the importance of banking system in rural areas and the role played by the banking system in supporting sustainable rural livelihoods and prescribe recommendation for the resolution of the issues faced by RRBs.Keywords
