Triticum aestivum requires nitrogen fertilizer (NF) as NH4NO3 for healthy growth, however its excessive application causes loss of soil fertility. An alternative to decrease the amount of NH4NO3 and to optimize is to inoculate T. aestivum seeds with Xanthobacter autotrophicus or/and Bacillus thuringiensis well known asendophytic plant growth promoting bacteria (EPGPB). Both genera and species of EPGPB are able transform metabolic compounds from seeds and roots into phyto hormones, which can be optimized by crude extract carbon nano particles (CECNPs) to enhance the growth of radical system and to improve uptake at 50% dose of NH4NO3 Response variables were: germination percentage, phenology, and biomass to seedling stage. All experimental data were validated by ANOVA/Tukey HSD P<0.05. Seeds of T. aestivum were inoculated with X. autotrophicus and/or B. thuringiensis, plus CECNPs at 50% NH4NO3. Results showed a positive response of T. aestivum seeds to X. autotrophicus and/or B. thuringiensis, with 10 ppm CECNPs, and 50% NH4NO3 enhanced germination percent of 93% in comparison with 73% of T. aestivum when its seeds were not inoculated with these EPGPB fed only with 100% dose of NH4NO3 (relative control); the same positive response of T. aestivum to X. autotrophicus and B. thuringiensis improved by CECNPs at seeding stage compared to T. aestivum used as a relative control.

Good quality of the nucleic acid is the primary requisite for genomic research of crop plants. The presence of lipids, polysaccharides, polyphenols and protein molecules hinders downstream processes where genomic DNA has to be used as a template. Coconut leaf being highly fibrous and rich in all the secondary metabolites, isolation of good quality DNA remains a great challenge. Attempts to isolate the coconut DNA following the reported protocols are found not to yield DNA in the expected quality and quantity. A simple and fast approach for isolating the high-quality DNA from polysaccharides and polyphenolic-rich tissues of coconut is being detailed. As measured by its clear color, viscosity, and A260/280 ratio, the isolated DNA was devoid of polysaccharides, polyphenols, RNA, and other significant impurities. In addition to the detailing of the modifications made in the CTAB method, this paper discusses the major step-by-step improvements among the widely-followed DNA isolation protocols.

Vermicompost is a nutrient-rich amendment commonly used to restore soil health such as restoration of trace element contamination of growing media. A pot study was carried out to determine vermin compost and copper (Cu) interaction on little finger carrot (Daucus carota cv. Nantes) seedlings emergence and plant growth. The treatments were varying rates of Cu (i.e., 0, 100, 200 and 300 mg Cu l-1) and vermicompost (i.e., 0, 25, 50 and 75% w/w).At two weeks after sowing, the emergence rate of carrot seedlings in pots with no vermicompost (i.e., control) were 0.22, 0.25, and 0.32 folds higher than those that received the 25%, 50% and 75% vermicompost, respectively. Vermicompost, Cu and their interaction had significant (p<0.05) effects on leaf chlorophyll and anthocyanin contents. The 50% vermicompost combined with the 100 mg Cu l-1 resulted in greater leaf greenness and anthocyanin content. Plant height and number of leaves were significantly (p<0.05)increased by 0.07 and 0.16 folds following the application of the 25% and 50% vermin compost respectively, compared to the control. The 50% vermicompost had a strongly positive impact on the carrot shoot compared to the root. This preliminary study on little finger carrot cv. Nantes seedlings will require further detailed studies to explain vermicompost mitigation of Cu stress on carrot plants and productivity.
蚯蚓堆肥是一种营养丰富的改良剂，通常用于恢复土壤健康，如恢复生长介质的微量元素污染。采用盆栽试验研究了害虫堆肥与铜在小指胡萝卜(Daucus carota cv)上的相互作用。南特)幼苗出苗和植物生长。不同浓度Cu(分别为0、100、200和300 mg Cu -1)和蚯蚓堆肥(分别为0、25、50和75% w/w)处理。播后2周，未施用蚯蚓堆肥(即对照)的胡萝卜苗出苗率分别比施用25%、50%和75%蚯蚓堆肥的胡萝卜苗出苗率高0.22倍、0.25倍和0.32倍。蚯蚓堆肥、铜及其互作对叶片叶绿素和花青素含量有显著影响(p<0.05)。50%蚯蚓堆肥配以100 mg Cu l-1，叶片绿度和花青素含量显著提高。施用25%和50%害虫堆肥后，株高和叶片数分别比对照显著(p<0.05)提高了0.07倍和0.16倍。与根相比，50%的蚯蚓堆肥对胡萝卜的茎部有强烈的积极影响。本文对小指胡萝卜进行了初步研究。南特幼苗将需要进一步的详细研究来解释蚯蚓堆肥缓解铜胁迫对胡萝卜植株和生产力的影响。

This study determined the optimum concentration of, and duration of immersion in a local detergent (“awabla”) that protected fruit skin of Kent and Keitt mango varieties from mango fruit sap-induced injury (sap-burn) at harvest.The resultant skin/peel colour, pulp colour, and total soluble solids content was also evaluated for fruit quality. Randomized Complete Block Design and Completely Randomized Design with four replications in each case were used for field and laboratory experiments respectively. For each of the two varieties, ten mango trees were sampled at random in each of the four replications of a mango plantation.On each sample tree, twenty panicles all initiating fruit-set were identified and tagged. The number of days from fruit-set to physiological maturity were monitored and harvested for the experiments. Concentrations of 0.25,0.50, and 0.75% of “awabla” solution for 25,30,and35 minutes immersion period in all combinations were established as appropriate and recommended for management of Kent and Keitt mango fruit sap-induced injury. The detergent (“awabla”) had a proven efficacy in the range of 87-94 % for Kent and 90-93 % for Keitt. The resultant peel colour, pulp colour, and total soluble solids content of Kent and Keitt mango fruit samples were not significantly influenced by the treatments at p>0.05.

In Tamil Nadu, there were 32 Forest Development Agencies were functioning in 12 Forest Circles. Coimbatore forest circle is the one in which three FDAs were established and this formed the study area. The study was carried out in Coimbatore Forest Circle following a Multi Stage Random Sampling technique by selecting three hundred tribal households. FDAs were implementing several activities with the participation of tribes to avert man-animal conflicts and to improve the socio economic status of tribes. This study was focusing on documenting the activities and the participation of tribes in those activities. Among the activities, erection of Elephant trenches, plantation development and the Project Elephant schemes implemented by both Forest and Line Department officials have imparted some impacts in reducing the Man-Animal Conflicts by promoting higher employment generation. Because of higher employment opportunities, the participation of tribes were much influenced in FDA activities which are statistically significant at one per cent level. Besides, impact of FDA implementation, Plantation development activities and wild life protection measures are also discussed.

The reproductive successes under natural and manual pollination were assessed. Two cocoa farms around Bobiri Forest Reserve, in the Ejisu-Juabeng District Ghana were purposively selected. Fifteen percent of open flowers from five selected cocoa trees were subjected to manual-pollination and total exclusion. Ninety pods under natural pollination were compared with ninety pods under manually pollination. Proximate analysis was carried out to evaluate the macronutrients of cocoa pod and seeds produced under the two pollination modes. Results show that pollinator exclusion significantly decreased fruit set (df=2, X2 =12.5, P=0.00) and flower set (df= 2, F=25.2, P=0.00) (P=0.00). Pod weights and seed numbers significantly differed (V=0.049, F (4.49)=0.986, p<0.01, eta squared=0.049) irrespective of pod size and mode of pollination, however, there were individual differences. Weights of small pods did not differ (p>0.05) under the two pollination regimes, however, weights of medium size pods (p < 0.05) and that of the large pods (<0.05) produced under the two regimes of pollination differed. Number of beans and the size of pods did not differ under the two modes of pollination. Linear relationship existed between weight (y) and seed number (x) of individual pods: Y=18.56 + 0.016x; R2 =0.45. Macronutrients of pods and seeds did not differ (paired t test= 4.08, 29 d. f.; P=0.12) under the two pollination mode. The study concluded that natural pollination contributed to cocoa production.
对自然授粉和人工授粉下的繁殖成功率进行了评价。加纳Ejisu-Juabeng地区Bobiri森林保护区附近的两个可可农场被有意选中。从五棵选定的可可树中，15%的开放花朵被人工授粉，完全被排除在外。自然授粉与人工授粉的荚果数分别为90个和90个。对两种授粉方式下生产的可可豆荚和种子的宏量营养素进行了近似分析。结果表明:排除传粉者显著降低了果实坐果(df=2, X2 =12.5, P=0.00)和花坐果(df=2, F=25.2, P=0.00)。两种授粉方式产生的荚果重和种子数差异显著(V=0.049, F (4.49)=0.986, p0.05)，但两种授粉方式产生的中粒荚果重差异显著(p <0.05)，大粒荚果重差异显著(p <0.05)。在两种授粉方式下，豆粒数和豆荚大小没有差异。单荚重量(y)与种子数(x)呈线性关系:y =18.56 + 0.016x;R2 = 0.45。豆荚和种子的常量营养素含量无显著差异(配对t检验= 4.08,29 d. f;P=0.12)。该研究得出结论，自然授粉有助于可可产量。

Two cocoa farms around Bobiri Forest Reserve, in the Ejisu-Juabeng District Ghana were purposively selected. Fifteen percent of open flowers from five selected cocoa trees were subjected to manual-pollination and total exclusion. Ninety pods under natural pollination were compared with ninety pods under manually pollination. Proximate analysis was carried out to evaluate the macronutrients of cocoa pod and seeds produced under the two pollination modes. Results show that pollinator exclusion significantly decreased fruit set (df=2, X2 =12.5, P=0.00) and flower set (df= 2, F=25.2, P=0.00) (P=0.00). Pod weights and seed numbers significantly differed (V=0.049, F (4.49)=0.986, p<0.01, eta squared=0.049) irrespective of pod size and mode of pollination, however, there were individual differences. Weights of small pods did not differ (p>0.05) under the two pollination regimes, however, weights of medium size pods (p < 0.05) and that of the large pods (<0.05) produced under the two regimes of pollination differed. Number of beans and the size of pods did not differ under the two modes of pollination. Linear relationship existed between weight (y) and seed number (x) of individual pods: Y=18.56 + 0.016x; R2 =0.45.

The study was conducted during 2020-2021 to identify the contribution of home garden interventions towards household access to vegetables amidst COVID-19 pandemic in Nepal. Kavreplanchok district was the selected site of study wherein checklist, focus group discussion and field observation were the major data collection methods. Women in the treatment group participated in home gardening orientation and vegetable gardening activities, however, only data collection was done in the control group. Post-intervention data showed 46% households in treatment group practiced improved organic vegetable gardening technologies as compared to 10.67% in control. Furthermore, annual vegetable requirement met from home garden was 62% in treatment group, while it was only 36 % in control group. Similarly, the knowledge on nutrition, home gardening technology and proper handling of vegetables has increased significantly.
