The North Eastern Region of India (NER) has tremendous scope for accelerating its growth in agriculture and allied areas through advanced data acquisition, interpretation and dissemination methods with geospatial technology. For several thematic applications, geospatial tools and techniques are being used to provide synoptic, cost-efficient and timely information for effective crop planning and monitoring in the region. A review of space applications in agriculture, horticulture, sericulture, land-use suitability, shifting cultivation, groundwater pro-specting, soil resources management, etc. has been made, highlighting the scope and limitation of using these advanced technologies. Satellite remote sensing has several limitations in NER, viz. small and fragmented farmlands, persistent clouds during monsoon, mixed farming, steep hills, etc. Considering these facts, unmanned aerial vehi-cles (UAVs) are used as an alternative for satellite remote sensing applications in agriculture. The increased availability of very high resolution satellite and UAV data will offer opportunities for innovative solutions to fulfil specific user needs of agriculture and allied sectors in NER.

As a result of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, water bodies connected to anthropogenic activities may likely reveal the presence of viral genetic material. Urban, periurban and rural water bodies in and around Hyderabad, Telangana, India, were monitored for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 gene fragments during the first and second wave of COVID-19 infection. The SARS-CoV-2 genes were not detected in peri-urban and rural lakes, whereas urban lakes having direct functional attributes from domestic activity showed prevalence. Distinct variability in viral load observed among five water bodies was in concordance with human activity in the catchment area. High viral load was observed during the peaks of the first and second waves, specifically in urban lakes. [ FROM AUTHOR]

This study traces the development of watersheds in India based on the governing guidelines of the watershed programmes. We explore the changes and modifications in the watershed guidelines and categorize the developmental changes into six distinct yet interlinked phases. We observed that the watershed guidelines were fine-tuned with emerging challenges of land degradation, livelihood security, gender and social equity, climate change mitigation and adaptations. Recently, the focus of watersheds has shifted from production centric to income-centric by promoting enabling institutional settings. The experiences and learnings from India’s watershed programmes provide insights for other developing countries implementing such programmes.

Strategic planning and execution at the Benti–Bagda Limestone Mine of M/s Jharkhand State Mineral Deve-lopment Corporation Limited (JSMDCL), India, could minimize the impacts of surface blasting on structures in nearby sensitive villages to comply with the regulatory requirements leading to resolving the complaints of villagers. Controlled blast design patterns were developed after thorough scientific evaluations using JKSimBlast simulator and blast-compliance software modules to determine the firing pattern, firing sequence and detonation time versus charge mass (kg) detonated for each of the three blast-safety zones. The study enabled the mine management to convince the local people to settle their long-pending disputes.

Following the detection of an incongruity in the nomen-clature of sugarcane web mite Schizotetranychus andropogoni (Hirst) (Acari: Tetranychidae), we collected web mite samples from commercial hybrids of sugarcane and Saccharum spontaneum in parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala States, India. Acarologists identified these samples as Schizotetranychus krungthepensis Naing & Auger (Acari: Tetranychidae), originally described from Thailand in 2014. To provide molecular evidence to distinguish S. krungthepensis from S. andropogoni , we subjected sequences of 5.8S rRNA and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) genes of both species available in NCBI database to Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA6). The analysis produced phylogenetic trees with distinct clusters for S. andropogoni and S. krungthepensis , albeit with some exceptions, thus provi-ding evidence to consider S. krungthepensis a species distinctly different from S. andropogoni . In view of the possible threat of S. krungthepensis to sugarcane culti-vation in the country, we outline the basic course of action needed to manage the pest if it were to assume more serious proportions than the native species it appears to be displacing.

Sea level measurements from tide-gauges, installed in harbours along the Indian coast by the Survey of India, are used to illustrate the differences in high tides during spring tides that occurred during lunar perigee and apogee (closest and farthest position of the moon in its elliptical orbit around the earth) in January and August 1974 respectively. The difference in maximum tidal heights between 9 January and 4 August of the year for Mumbai tidal record is about 87 cm, whereas for Chennai, Visakhapatnam and Paradip, the differences vary between 20 and 25 cm. Kochi record shows a difference of about 13 cm, whereas the difference in predicted high tides at Bhavnagar is more than 1 m. Similar results are found for March and April 1980 during spring tides close to perigee and apogee respectively. Perigean spring tides can cause flooding in low-lying coastal areas along the northern parts of the Indian coast, which will get enhan-ced in future with mean sea-level rise due to global war-ming.

In Andhra Pradesh, India, the culture of marine finfishes such as Indian pompano and Asian seabass has been demonstrated in cages in Krishna and Godavari backwaters by the Regional Centre, ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (ICAR-CMFRI), Visakhapatnam, involving fishermen and marginal landless aqua farmers. Open sea cage culture of orange-spotted grouper and Indian pompano has also been demonstrated in Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and East Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh. From the 14 success stories documented, enhancement in net income in the range 50.32%– 257.14% was evident by transforming people from different avocations such as agriculturists, wage earners in agriculture and allied sectors, business professionals, fish traders, traditional fish farmers and artisanal fishers to marine finfish farming. The benefit ratio of cage farming among the adopted farmers was found to be 1.33 and 1.31 for estuarine and marine cages respectively. The impact was realized on livelihood enhancement due to the technological interventions of cage culture under the technological, social and economic dimensions. cage culture, access to raw materials for cage construction, timely availability of seeds and feed, availability of labour-ers, access to market and remunerative price for the harvest, technical knowhow/timely advisories, Government support/ subsidies/schemes, access to institutional finance, transpor-tation and logistics, storage availability and support from the peer group.

Tropical wetlands host diverse breeding birds, but there is little information on aspects such as the predation of chicks. Diet of omnivorous waterbirds is poorly recorded in India, especially during the breeding season when they require to hunt more carnivorous foods to facilitate rapid chick growth. In the present study, we observed a sarus crane pair in western Uttar Pradesh, India, predating on chicks of grey-headed swamphen – not reported earlier in the diet of this species. Review of the literature, search of photographs available on the World Wide Web and consulting experts suggested that chicks of other birds are extremely rare in sarus crane diet. Additionally, the existing literature suggests waterbird chicks as widespread but rare in the diet of cranes globally, though at least one study suspects cranes to be major predators of waterbird chicks. The chicks of other birds seem to be a ready source of nutrition for omnivorous cranes and the rarity of such predation seems worthy of specific studies.
