Broccoli is know was the, ‘Crown of jewel nutrition’ because it contains vitamin A (130 times higher than cauliflower and 22 times higher than cabbage), niacin, thiamin, vitamin C, riboflavin and also minerals like Fe, P, K and Ca. It aids in the battle against lung and breast cancer. Organic production of broccoli is the need of the hour to enjoy the excellent health benefit of broccoli with better test avoiding the health hazard of chemical fertilizer residues. Keeping this in mind, the experiment was carried out in the year 2019-20 at the Agricultural Research Farm, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Allied Industries, Rama University, Kanpur. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) for the experimentation at spacing of 60 × 30 cm with 3 replications and 8 treatments with 24 plots. The current experiment clearly demonstrated that the quality, yield, and yield-attributing characteristics of broccoli are significantly improved by the use of organic manures and bio-fertilizers. Among all the treatments, use of Farm Yard Manure (FYM) + Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) + Azospirillum i.e., T7 in sprouting broccoli was found to be the most effective treatment for obtaining highest yield as well as better quality under UP conditions.

The present experiment is a part of a long-term experiment based on the effect of crop residue and residual starter zinc. This part of investigation “Vertical distribution of DTPA- Manganese in Post-Harvest Soil of Wheat as Influenced by Crop Residue and Residual starter Zinc”. Distribution of available iron in different soil depths as influenced by the graded level of crop residues and residual starter zinc under rice-wheat cropping system in calcareous soil are presented. The data on depth wise distribution of available Mn as influenced by long term application of crop residue and residual starter Zn under rice-wheat cropping system are depicted in Table 1 and illustrated in Fig 2. The available Mn content in surface soil (0-15 cm) varied from 4.28 to 4.89 mg kg-1 while that in 15 - 30, 30 - 60 and 60 - 90 cm depths ranged from 4.32 to 4.96, 4.27 to 4.86 and 4.18 to 4.76 mg kg-1, respectively. Increasing levels of crop residues significantly increased the DTPA-Mn content at all the depths viz. 0-15, 15-30, 30-60, 60-90 cm from 4.30 to 4.86,4.38 to 4.91, 4.28 to 4.82 and 4.19 to 4.73 mg kg-1 respectively. Residual Zn application significantly decreased the DTPA Mn content at 0.15, 15-30 and 30-60 cm depth from 4.58 to 4.55, 4.68 to 4.63 and 4.56 to 4.53 mg kg-1, respectively, however decrease was at par at 60-90 cm depth (4.46 to 4.44 mg kg- 1).

Leaf spot and flower blight caused by Alternaria zinniae is serious disease of marigold causing yield loss of 50-60 % in crop. Many previously used fungicides showed resistance against the pathogen. So, the present investigation was carried out with an objective to study the efficacy of new fungicides available in the market using poison food technique, well diffusion technique and disc diffusion technique. Three fungicides such as azoxystrobin +tebuconazole, tebuconazole + sulphur, Metalaxyl were evaluated at the concentration of 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2% respectively. The present investigation revealed that Azoxystrobin + Tebuconazole recorded maximum mycelial growth inhibition of 96.85% followed by Tebuconazole + Sulphur 96.40% and Metalaxyl of 95.50% in poison food technique. Similarly, Azoxystrobin + Tebuconazole showed the highest inhibition of mycelial growth (88.10%), followed by Tebuconazole + Sulphur (86.36%), and Metalaxyl (84.38%) in well diffusion technique. In a same manner Azoxystrobin + Tebuconazole showed the highest inhibition of mycelial growth (77.73%), followed by Tebuconazole + Sulphur (75.10%), and Metalaxyl (72.25%) in disc diffusion method. Further the effectiveness of new fungicides may be tested under field condition against Alternaria zinniae.

This study focuses on the effect of factors like the nature of the food, the type, time, and temperature of contact on overall migration (OM) from packaging material to food. The OM from the biodegradable film in contact with food products such as tomato ketchup and guava Jelly were investigated for six months using simulant ‘B’ as per IS 9845:1988. Under the room temperature storage condition for six months, the selected food products were checked for quality and stability. The maximum OM during the migration study was 4.24 mg/dm2 for tomato ketchup and 3.48 mg/dm2 for guava jelly, both of which were within the standards-permitted limits. Total Soluble Solids (TSS) and pH gradually increased whereas ascorbic acid was reduced in tomato ketchup during storage. The total sugar of jelly increased during the storage study from 46.92 to 66.10 %. The findings revealed that the OM rate was well within the specifications of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) while the quality parameters of TSS, pH, and total sugar were altered after and during the three months of storage study. So, using this biodegradable film, tomato ketchup and guava jelly can be packaged safely for up to three months.

As Aphis pomi is one of the important and emerging pest especially on apple plants from past few years as its huge incidence has attracted the attention of research workers across the globe especially in apple growing regions. Currently the most important constraint for apple producers is that its management becomes difficult due to resurgence problems and also their high fecundity rate, complex life cycle. So our motive to study biology of Aphis pomi is to find a better management strategy as biological study of insect is one of the key factor for its management. In the present study the biological parameters evaluated were duration and survival% of nymphal instars, daily and total fecundity and adult longevity by various methods under laboratory conditions. Also the data on pre-oviposition, oviposition and post-oviposition was recorded. We found that duration of total nymphal period, pre-ovipositional period, ovipositional period, post ovipositional period and total life period varied from 13.5-15.5 (14.52±0.070), 10.3-12.5 (14.52±0.07), 10- 20 (13.4±0.65), 2.0-3.0 (2.4±0.17), and 22-35 (30.28±1.51) days respectively. The morphometric were also studied during the period of nymphal development till adults. The morphometric analysis showed gradual developmental variations from first instar to adult stage in size, shape, colour and number of characters.

The Achanakmar Tiger Reserve (ATR) is an integral part of the Achanakmar Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve (AABR) with a total area of 914.017 sq. km. The Maniyari River, which flows through the reserve, is known as its life line. It originates from the core zone (Sihawal sagar) of ATR and merges in the Seonath River of the Mahanadi Basin. It flows about 105 km through Mungeli and Bilaspur districts. This river supplies its catchment area with water seasonally (6-8 months) and flows more than half of its length (about 60 km) within the protected area. Its catchment area has a rich biodiversity of tree species such as Shorea robusta, Terminalia tomentosa, Diospyros melanoxylon, Adina cordifolia, Pterocarpus marsupium, Madhuca indica, Anogeissus latifolia, Dendrocalamus strictus etc. A geospatial analysis was performed to understand the course of the Maniyari River within the ATR area over a fourteen year period between 2000 and 2013. Imagery from Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite 1D and P6 for years 2000, 2004, 2008, 2010 and 2013 and Survey of India toposheets were analyzed to examine the changes in planform characteristics of the Maniyari River. The meander shift of the river was delineated considering the R1 (11.61 km), R2 (11.19 km), R3 (5.33 km) and R4 (5.02 km) reach’s respectively. Sinuosity Index (SI) for different reaches was calculated and evaluated. The SI ranged from 1.40 to 1.63, 1.20 to 1.29, 1.17 to 1.37, and 1.20 to 1.49 in R1, R2, R3 and R4 respectively and the magnitude of the shift was analyzed with the year 2000 as the base year. The overall SI for all the reach’s ranges between 1.30 and 1.36. The present study will be helpful in understanding the river dynamics as well as to maintaining the flow of the Maniyari River and preventing bank line erosion. The study will be helpful for the conservation of river flow and its tributaries in the ATR area in Central India.

Tomato is grown in an area of 36000 ha in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. South American tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta has become major pest in tomato growing areas causing 50-60% damage. Even though pest damage starts from seedling stage, damage is not noticed by farmers till fruiting stage due to the pest feeding habit, and spraying chemicals repeatedly at this stage is of no use. Moreover, it causes environmental pollution and pesticide residual effects on consumers. Hence, an on-farm trial on integrated management of the Tuta absoluta was conducted during Rabi, 2020-21. The IPM practices included were installation of pheromone traps @ 25 per hectare; spraying neem oil @ 5 ml/l, twice @20 and 40 DAT and need based chemical sprays. In IPM plots, pest damage was low in crop grown under single row planting i.e., 9% followed by double row planting i.e., 12.6% whereas in farmers practice it was 21.5% and 24.3% in single row planting and double row planting respectively in crop planted during December, 2020. Crop planted during January suffered more than December planted cropi.e., in IPM plots it was 12.5% & 15.5% whereas in farmers practice it was 27.6 and 31.2% in single row planting and double row planting respectively. In December planted crop, Fruit yield of 54.2t/ha and 52.8t/ha was recorded in IPM and farmers practice respectively. In January planted crop it was 51t/ha and 49.5t/ha in IPM and farmers practice respectively.

Nagavani","doi":"10.53550/eec.2023.v29i02s.066","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53550/eec.2023.v29i02s.066","url":null,"abstract":"Tomato is grown in an area of 36000 ha in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. South American tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta has become major pest in tomato growing areas causing 50-60% damage. Even though pest damage starts from seedling stage, damage is not noticed by farmers till fruiting stage due to the pest feeding habit, and spraying chemicals repeatedly at this stage is of no use. Moreover, it causes environmental pollution and pesticide residual effects on consumers. Hence, an on-farm trial on integrated management of the Tuta absoluta was conducted during Rabi, 2020-21. The IPM practices included were installation of pheromone traps @ 25 per hectare; spraying neem oil @ 5 ml/l, twice @20 and 40 DAT and need based chemical sprays. In IPM plots, pest damage was low in crop grown under single row planting i.e., 9% followed by double row planting i.e., 12.6% whereas in farmers practice it was 21.5% and 24.3% in single row planting and double row planting respectively in crop planted during December, 2020. Crop planted during January suffered more than December planted cropi.e., in IPM plots it was 12.5% & 15.5% whereas in farmers practice it was 27.6 and 31.2% in single row planting and double row planting respectively. In December planted crop, Fruit yield of 54.2t/ha and 52.8t/ha was recorded in IPM and farmers practice respectively. In January planted crop it was 51t/ha and 49.5t/ha in IPM and farmers practice respectively. IPM along with planting of crop during December under single row method of planting found to be effective in managing the pest.","PeriodicalId":11458,"journal":{"name":"Ecology, Environment and Conservation","volume":"24 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84696474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surveys were undertaken to explore the underutilized plants in the sodic belts of Thhothukudi and Kanniyakumari district of Tamil Nadu during 2020-21. The areas covered were inland sodic soils and coastal tract including part of coastal wetlands. Plants distributed in these lands are collected along with soil samples. Further, information such as geographical location, utility, etc. was recorded. Totally 56 plant species were collected which includes arable crops, horticultural crops, underutilized edible species, fodder crops, medicinal plants, weeds and native wild flora. The information gathered will be useful for further exploitation of these plants for sustainable farming besides the reclaiming salt affected lands in a natural way.

National Biodiversity Authority formed under Biological Diversity Act, 2002 has asked the states to prepare the People’s Biodiversity Register (PBR) through State Biodiversity Board where Biodiversity Management Committee (BMC) like village panchayats were involved to document information on locally available bioresources (plants, animals and microorganisms) their medicinal or any other traditional knowledge including landscape and demography of a particular area. In view of this the present study was conducted through systematic quadrat method where 209 plots of 20 m×20 m was laid at sites (100m transect) near to villages and a total of 99 tree species (having 5 cm diameter at breast height (dbh) belonging to 49 families and 80 genera were recorded where Fabaceae is dominant family with the highest number of species (10) followed by Moraceae (09 species). The ethnobotany of these species was also documented by interviewing 78 individuals using questionnaire survey by semi structured, structured interview from the villagers and importance of People’s Biodiversity Register (PBR) was also communicated to the respondents in the presence of sarpanches of panchayat. This study created a baseline of information on the tree species diversity of the Jammu district which is expected to be helpful to the future researchers as well as for the native people of the area to document their native flora.
