The Beninese coast, like most coastal regions, is subject to various hydrodynamic factors that are likely to be modified by climate change. On the coast, the coasts are constantly subject to the action of waves, currents and wind. This work, carried out near the port of Cotonou, aims to provide representative statistics on the direction of the fundamental parameters of the wind seas, their height in the area close to the coast, where the swell is not yet subject to the action of the funds. Based on in situ data measurements with mooring systems at tide gauge - meteorological stations during the hydrodynamic measurement campaign and carried out at 10-minute time steps, on a regular basis over a period of four consecutive years by NORTECKMED in collaboration with the Millenium Challenge Account (MCA-Benin) within the framework of the extension of the Autonomous Port of Cotonou, the statistical distribution of the characteristic parameters of the waves (height, direction of propagation and period) is elaborated. Thus, the significant height Hs , the peak period or the stable average wave period Tp ≈ Tms and the most frequent direction of propagation Dp are evaluated. A frequency characterization of the period Tc , the wavelength Lc and the height Hc of short swells, generated by local winds, is obtained using the Pierson-Moskowitz frequency spectrum. In short, the four years of data made it possible to carry out statistical production and simulations of wind, tide and wave data in order to determine the significant heights Hs , the peak period Tp, the linear energy power available and the link between Hs and Tp according to the Beaufort scales. Likewise, we made a characterization of short swells (wind seas) based on the value of the local wind speed, the Pierson-Moskowitz frequency spectrum and a representation of the wave propagation directions.

A cascade refrigeration cycle is a multistage refrigeration system for ultra-low freezing application utilizing two stage vapour compression refrigeration system. Many refrigeration applications require low temperature for quick freezing medical items, production of ice, petroleum vapour liquefaction, pharmaceutical products preservation and storage, and manufacturing cooling processes. The two-stage cascade refrigeration system is the simplest, energy efficient and low operating cost for providing deep-freezing and maintaining extremely low temperature stability. The paper presents the overview of two-stage cascade refrigeration system for ultra-low temperature application and considered vapour compression cycle the most viable and suitable technique of attaining designed and desired temperature application. System modification using different techniques such as pre cool, flash intercooler, dedicated mechanical subcooling cycle, and novel ternary mixture of refrigerants were method adopted. The results revealed that the different techniques provide low energy consumption, high system performance and reduction in the thermal stress on the compressors as a result of reducing discharge temperature. The theoretical and experimental performance analysis outcomes showed the possibility and feasibility of achieving a low temperature of -80 0C. Vapour compression cascade refrigeration system is a promising technology in meeting the global needs for solving heat sensitive temperature-controlled products and useful in energy-deficient nations for storage and chain-distribution.

In the present era, we can see an overabundance of fertilizers and more focus on chemical inputs. The extensive use of fertilizers has resulted in a worldwide issue of soil degradation, causing the reduction of organic material and soil fertility. At the same time, farming is getting more intense as cities grow and industries expand. This is making more and more waste. As an example, mining for coal makes a lot of waste all over the world, and most of this waste is put into landfills or special ponds. This is where sustainable food production comes in. People all around the world are coming up with new ideas to use waste in a good way to make useful things, like stuff that can improve soil. In the present era, soil conditioners are highly valuable for enhancing both plant growth and soil well-being, simultaneously reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. Any procedure that enhances a soil's capacity to improve crop yields, or that betters the soil's effectiveness for any purpose, can be termed as soil conditioning, and any substance used in soil conditioning is referred to as a soil conditioner. Soil necessitates conditioning for various reasons, with a key objective being the management of soil degradation, improve soil's air-water interactions, drainage capability, and aggregation. This process also aims to mitigate issues like compaction, soil crusting, and water repellency. Soil conditioner surrounds a wide range of substance, such as organic materials, gypsum, lime, diverse water-soluble polymers, natural deposits, and cross-linked polymers that retain soil moisture. It also includes living plants, microbes, various industrial waste products, and similar items. Soil conditioners offer utility by enhancing the soil's functionality as an ecosystem and improving its efficiency in providing support for crop growth.

In the Rabi season of 2022, a comprehensive agricultural experiment was conducted at the Instructional Farm of the Department of Agronomy, located within the Faculty of Agriculture at SAGE University in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The primary objective of this experiment was to assess the influence of varying levels of phosphorus, in conjunction with the application of Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB), on the growth and yield parameters of field pea. This research was undertaken using a randomized block design, with a factorial arrangement that was replicated three times to ensure the reliability and robustness of the findings.
The experiment encompassed seven distinct treatment combinations, which spanned the spectrum from a control group to different percentages of the recommended dose of phosphorus (RDF), including 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20% of the RDF. The results obtained from this meticulous study unveiled significant impacts of phosphorus levels and the application of Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria on several critical growth and yield parameters of field pea. The effects of these factors were observed at multiple stages of the plant's growth, particularly at 30, 60, and 90 days after sowing (DAS). The treatment combination that included 30:60:30 kg per hectare of phosphorus and 200 g per hectare of PSB exhibited outstanding results, with the maximum plant height at 30, 60, and 90 DAS, registering measurements of 39.29 cm and 59.29 cm, respectively.
Remarkably, this specific treatment regimen also led to the highest number of branches per plant at both 60 and 90 DAS, with impressive counts of 7.80 and 9.20 branches, respectively. Furthermore, the combined impact of phosphorus and Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria had a profound influence on key yield parameters. Notably, the treatment featuring the combination of 30:60:30 kg per hectare of phosphorus and 200 g per hectare of PSB resulted in the highest values for critical yield parameters, such as the number of pods per plant (17.59), seed yield per hectare (1070 kg), and straw yield per hectare (2142 kg). These findings underscore the pivotal role of this specific treatment regimen in enhancing crop productivity and maximizing overall yield. The results of this experiment offer valuable insights into optimizing phosphorus management practices in the cultivation of field pea, ultimately contributing to improved agricultural sustainability and food security in the region. This research serves as an important contribution to the field of agronomy and provides practical guidance for farmers and researchers alike.
在2022年的拉比季节，在中央邦博帕尔SAGE大学农学院农学系的教学农场进行了一项综合农业试验。本试验的主要目的是评估不同磷水平对大田豌豆生长和产量参数的影响，并结合磷增溶菌(PSB)的应用。本研究采用随机区组设计，因子排列重复三次，以确保研究结果的可靠性和稳健性。
实验包括7种不同的治疗组合，从对照组到推荐磷剂量(RDF)的不同百分比，包括100%、80%、60%、40%和20%。本研究揭示了磷水平和增磷菌的施用对大田豌豆几个关键生长和产量参数的显著影响。这些因素的影响在植物生长的多个阶段观察到，特别是在播种后30、60和90天(DAS)。以30:60∶30 kg /公顷磷和200 g /公顷PSB为处理组合，最高株高分别为39.29 cm、59.29 cm，达到30、60和90 DAS。值得注意的是，这种特殊的处理方案也导致每株植物在60和90 DAS时分枝数量最多，分别达到7.80和9.20个分枝。此外，磷和增磷菌的共同作用对关键产量参数产生了深远的影响。值得注意的是，施用30:60:30 kg /公顷磷和200 g /公顷PSB的组合处理在关键产量参数(如每株荚果数(17.59)、每公顷种子产量(1070 kg)和每公顷秸秆产量(2142 kg))方面达到了最高值。这些发现强调了这种特殊处理方案在提高作物生产力和最大限度地提高总产量方面的关键作用。本试验结果为优化大田豌豆种植中的磷管理实践提供了有价值的见解，最终有助于提高该地区的农业可持续性和粮食安全。这项研究为农学领域做出了重要贡献，并为农民和研究人员提供了实用指导。

People in the inter-tidal zones of the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghana Delta regions are reliant on mangroves for food, medicine, protection, and livelihood. The present Anthropocene epoch has a deteriorated impact on people's societal, fiscal, and demography due to the climate change loss of agriculture and land use. The mangrove vegetation of Indian Sundarbans is declining in the South 24-Praganna district, West Bengal, the world’s largest estuarine forest, and the UNESCO Heritage, site.
Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques were used to download data of the Landsat 8 OLI from USGS/GLOVIS of SOUTH 24 Parganas, West Bengal and analysed by ERDAS IMAGINE applications for speculation of the land use/land cover dynamics from the year 2015 to 2020. Ground truthing was conducted by site visits and compiled the medicinal use of plants to investigate the sustenance of SDG-3 and SDG-14.2 and SDG 14.5 of life in the Sundarbans.
The distribution of various mangrove species was identified in the core, buffer and manipulation zones of the Sundarbans Biosphere Reserve, their stratification along the cross-sections, zoning, and use as folk medicines. The research reveals mangrove vegetation is dwindling along the coasts of the South 24 Parganas. There is subsidence, emergence and submergence of land in the archipelago of nearshore Islands. The mangrove loss has been transformed into settlements or agricultural land. Recommendations are made to sustain the inter-tidal vegetation.

Industries are in search of best and cost-effective processing technologies to extract components from any material with maximum purity and quantity. The drawbacks of traditional solvent extraction methods led to the development of novel processing technologies that can be employed into any industry. This review mainly focuses on supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) process, an innovative, environmentally friendly tool for food processing techniques. Here, we are discussing about the general aspect of SFE and their recent potential commercial applications in different fields. Nowadays, this method gained lots of importance in food as well as non-food industrial applications.

In the rabi season of 2022-223, a field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, School of Agriculture, Sanjeev Agrawal Global Educational (SAGE) University Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) to assess the impact of zinc (zn) and ZSB (Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria) solubilizers on the performance of field pea crops. The results of the experiment revealed that the application of 100% of the recommended dose of fertilizer in combination with zinc led to the highest values in various growth and yield parameters.
Specifically, the treatment of 100% Recommended dose fertilizer + Zinc statistically (p<0.05) compared to mean values demonstrated the maximum plant height, dry matter accumulation (in grams), branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and seed yield (1060 kg/ha). Additionally, it resulted in a straw of 2130 kg/ha., a biological yield of 4243 kg/ha, a net return of 1639 Rs/ha, and a benefit-to-cost (B: C) ratio of 1.12. It is worth noting that the performance achieved with the application of 100% ZSB was statistically on par with the treatment involving 100% Recommended Dose Fertilizer + Zinc. Overall, all of the treatments applied in the experiment had a significant positive impact on the growth, yield, and economic aspects of field pea cultivation in comparison to the control group.
