The Rubiaceae family is an essential component of the flora of the Lesser Antilles archipelago located in the Caribbean. There are 129 species of Rubiaceae divided into 54 genera, including 20 endemic species. Martinique, a mountainous island occupying a central position in the archipelago, is home to 89 species of the family divided into 41 genera, including 2 endemic species. More than twenty species are grown or used as decorations, but the diversity of Rubiaceae found naturally in natural vegetation is significant, in terms of the number of species, genera or physiognomic types. As part of a doctoral thesis carried out in Martinique between 2015 and 2020, our knowledge about the ecology of this family has been enriched. In total, 120 floristic inventories were carried out in various natural plant formations. These data have undergone multivariate statistical processing, in particular using EXCEL and XLSTAT software. In total, 27 Rubiaceae species divided into 18 genera were observed (trees, shrubs, herbs, vines and epiphytes). Although the diversity and abundance of Rubiaceae vary according to the bioclimatic and therefore altitudinal gradient of the island, they are nevertheless rarely part of the dominant species assemblages. Due to the new climatic constraints of the 21st century, the current chorology of these species will evolve

Being one of the important pulse crops grown throughout India, Black gram requires several nutrients for optimum growth. The use of chemical fertilizers to add these nutrients has been known to boost production but at a cost of harming the soil, air, water, and living organisms. To address this issue, nano formulations have been proposed as a potential solution. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of applying nano-nutrients, N and Zn on the morphological and yield-related characteristics of black gram. The experiment was conducted with Randomized Complete Block Design having 8 treatments and replicated thrice. Among various treatments, the highest germination percentage and seedling vigour were observed in treatment T5 (50% RDN+ Seed priming with nano-Zn+ Foliar spray of nano-urea at 45 DAS), whereas the higher yield parameters viz., test weight, pods, seeds per pod, pods per plant, biological yield and grain yield observed in T8 (Seed priming with nano-Zn+ Foliar spray of nano-urea at 30 DAS+45 DAS).

Fashion industry has been working on a linear economy model since its inception. Linear economy model leads to generate a lot of waste and creating pollution. Fashion industry needs to be slow and circular in order to maintain its sustainability. The transition from linear to circular economy can neither happen immediately nor individually. There is need of strong will, out of box researches, technological advancement, effective industrial collaboration, strict governmental policies and appropriate awareness among consumers to make this transition easier. There is a dire need of multidisciplinary approach as well as inter industry collaboration for gaining complete circular economy in fashion industry. This paper discusses about how each stakeholder from manufactures to consumer are responding and taking action towards this transition from linear to circular. This paper also analyses the challenges and the way ahead for these challenges.

Champhai District is dependent on agriculture since time immemorial apart from border trade. Being an agrarian society, lots of plantations, farming, and animal husbandry were practiced within the district in which water is a key role in this field. Water plays a very important role in everyday life, especially where the main occupation of people is agriculture. The infrastructure needed to collect, transmit, treat, store, and distribute water is known as the water supply system. This system may also include storage facilities. The following components are often included in a water supply system: a drainage basis, a point at which raw water is collected, water purification facilities, water storage facilities such as reservoirs, a pipe network for water distribution, connections to sewers, etc.

Agricultural wastes not only serve as sources of environmental pollutions, but also serve as magnificent source of plant nutrients and natural repositories of bio-tools especially fungi of industrial interest for lignocellulolytic enzymes production. However, residues management particularly in rice–wheat system is a tedious phenomenon due to narrow gap between harvesting and sowing of these two crops. Hence, microbial intervention is one of the key options that may use successfully for their management. Thus, cellulolytic fungi were isolated from the cattle dung collected from various locations for cellulose manufacturing. The cellulolytic property of fungal isolates was confirmed by plate screening assay based on yellow zone formation surrounding of fungal culture on Congo red agar medium plate owing to production of cellulase enzyme. The colony diameter, clear zone diameter and cellulolytic index showing in descending order of CRD3, CRD5, CRD6 and CRD10 isolates, but –glucosidase activity was greater in CRD3 and CRD5 while, the lowest was in CRD9. However, isolates CRD7, CRD8 and CRD10 exhibited greater biochemical and enzymatic activity than rest of the promising fungal isolates. Similarly, isolates CRD1 and CRD2 utilized most of carbon sources as carbon substrate, but CRD7, CRD8 and CRD10 could not utilized mannitol and cellulose as carbon substrate. Overall, isolate CRD10 showed as a promising isolate in respect of biochemical, carbon utilization pattern and enzymatic activity than rest of the promising isolates.

In the past decade, research has been conducted on the river Brahmaputra with little or no importance accorded to the lesser-known rivers such as the Lohit, Dibang and Siang that forms the tributaries of the Brahmaputra River. The present study was conducted to assess the water quality of the Lohit River at Parshuram Kund area in Eastern Himalayan region. The water samples from four different stations were collected from up and down stream for four different seasons, namely, winter, pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon. The collected water samples were analysed for different physicochemical characteristics such as water temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Conductivity, Turbidity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Calcium and Chloride. The highest temperature was recorded during monsoon (31.8 degree C). The water was slightly acidic to slightly basic in nature (6.8-7.4) with highest DO during winter (8.6 mg/l). Maximum turbidity and conductivity (123.6 NTU and 97.5 μmho/cm respectively) with lowest TDS (50.1 ppm) were observed during monsoon. High chloride and calcium content (12.35 mg/l and 23.3 mg/l respectively) was recorded during winter. The results showed that the water quality is being altered during different seasons which may be attributed to various infrastructure development in and around the area.

Globally organic farming is well known and appreciated. Due to continuous use of synthetic fertilizers, the harmful elements enter into the food web and ultimately cause health hazard not only to human beings but also have a detrimental effect on environment. In this regard the demand for organic produce is gaining momentum for safe and healthy food. The present study explains the “Effect of rice and wheat varieties on rice equivalent yield, system productivity and nutrient uptake under organic farming in Jharkhand”. A field experiment was conducted at research farm of Birsa Agricultural University, Jharkhand with an objective to evaluate yield and nutrient uptake of rice and wheat varieties which are influenced by organic farming. The soil of experimental plot was sandy clay loam in texture having average carbon (6.16 Kg/ha), nitrogen (254.78 kg/ha), phosphorous (39.59 Kg/ha) and potassium (208.26 Kg/ha) with soil pH 6.04. Field experiments were carried out using randomized block design replicated thrice involving twelve treatments with twelve varieties. Rice varieties are: T1: Birsa vikas Dhan 203, T2: Birsa Dhan 201, T3 : Birsa vikas Sugandha 1, T4 : B.V.D 110, T5: Sahbhagi, T6: Birsamati, T7: Anjali, T8: Lalat, T9: M.T.U. 1010, T10: Akshay, T11: Pusa Sugandha and T12: Naveen. Whereas, wheat varieties are : Raj 4250, GW 366, NW 2036, K 0307, K 9107, HI 1563, Raj 4229, DBW 14, WR 544, BG 3, HD 2733 and DBW 39. Results showed: both the grain yield (40.22 kg/ha) and straw yield (62.96 kg/ha) of rice were maximum in MTU 1010. Likewise, the grain yield (31.56 kg/ha) and straw yield (45.78 kg/ha) of wheat were maximum in K 0307 and Raj 4229 respectively. The best rice equivalent yield of wheat was found maximum (33.19 q/ha) in B.V.D. 110-K 0307 cropping system, both the system productivity (66.52 Rs./ha) and system production efficiency (28.18 kg/ha/day) were highest in MTU 10101-WR 544 rice-wheat cropping system. Highest nutrient uptake in grain (N-53.33 kg/ha, P-11.31 kg/ha and K-10.20 kg/ha) and in straw (N-37.77 kg/ha, P-7.42 kg/ha and K-71.53 kg/ha) were observed in MTU 1010 rice variety. K0307 recorded highest nutrient uptake in wheat grain (N-47.93 kg/ha, P-8.74 kg/ha and K-10.06 kg/ha), however nutrient uptake in wheat straw (N-24.41 kg/ha, P-6.84 kg/ha and K- 38.40 kg/ha) was obtained maximum in Raj 4229.

Due to continuous use of synthetic fertilizers, the harmful elements enter into the food web and ultimately cause health hazard not only to human beings but also have a detrimental effect on environment. In this regard the demand for organic produce is gaining momentum for safe and healthy food. The present study explains the “Effect of rice and wheat varieties on rice equivalent yield, system productivity and nutrient uptake under organic farming in Jharkhand”. A field experiment was conducted at research farm of Birsa Agricultural University, Jharkhand with an objective to evaluate yield and nutrient uptake of rice and wheat varieties which are influenced by organic farming. The soil of experimental plot was sandy clay loam in texture having average carbon (6.16 Kg/ha), nitrogen (254.78 kg/ha), phosphorous (39.59 Kg/ha) and potassium (208.26 Kg/ha) with soil pH 6.04. Field experiments were carried out using randomized block design replicated thrice involving twelve treatments with twelve varieties. Rice varieties are: T1: Birsa vikas Dhan 203, T2: Birsa Dhan 201, T3 : Birsa vikas Sugandha 1, T4 : B.V.D 110, T5: Sahbhagi, T6: Birsamati, T7: Anjali, T8: Lalat, T9: M.T.U. 1010, T10: Akshay, T11: Pusa Sugandha and T12: Naveen. Whereas, wheat varieties are : Raj 4250, GW 366, NW 2036, K 0307, K 9107, HI 1563, Raj 4229, DBW 14, WR 544, BG 3, HD 2733 and DBW 39. Results showed: both the grain yield (40.22 kg/ha) and straw yield (62.96 kg/ha) of rice were maximum in MTU 1010. Likewise, the grain yield (31.56 kg/ha) and straw yield (45.78 kg/ha) of wheat were maximum in K 0307 and Raj 4229 respectively. The best rice equivalent yield of wheat was found maximum (33.19 q/ha) in B.V.D. 110-K 0307 cropping system, both the system productivity (66.52 Rs./ha) and system production efficiency (28.18 kg/ha/day) were highest in MTU 10101-WR 544 rice-wheat cropping system.
