Biofortification is a global-scale agricultural approach that can improve human nutrition. Agronomic biofortification is viewed as a quick-fix and supplemental approach. Agronomic biofortification, especially foliar application, is highly effective for zinc and iron. A field experiment on agronomic biofortification of zinc and iron micronutrients in mango cv. Kesar was carried out in 2016-2017 at the Regional Horticultural Research Station, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat). The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications containing 9 treatments. The results show that foliar application of ZnSO4 and FeSO4 (0.5% each) resulted in higher N (48.73 mg/100 g) and K (94.17 mg/100 g) in the pulp and P (0.056%) in the peel of mango. The iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) contents in pulp and peel were highest in treatment T9 (0.50% FeSO4 + 0.50% ZnSO4), which was on par with those in treatment T8 (0.50% FeSO4 + 0.25% ZnSO4).

The dumping of wastewater containing the dyes is harmful to the health of aquatic living beings. The colour in water bodies reduces the penetration of light and thereby reduces the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) of water bodies. The decreased value of DO is also harmful to aquatic organism. Therefore treatment of wastewater containing dyes becomes essential. Mushrooms have proven to be highly efficient and economical for removing pollutants through bioabsorption. Therefore, in the present study an attempt has been made to study the efficiency of Spent Mushroom Waste (SMW) viz. Agaricus bisporus as biosorbent for the biosorption of Basic Fuchsin Dye (BFD) from aqueous solution. The effects of certain factors such as the dose of adsorbent, temperature, exposure time, and pH were studied on the dye degradation by a given biomass of SMW. The results of the present study revealed that the optimum value of temperature, contact time, adsorbent dose, pH, was 7, 20 minutes, 20 mg, and 30˚C respectively. The biosorption efficiency of the used SMW ranged from good to excellent. The results of the present study revealed that the SMW of Agaricus bisporus is an economically and environmentally sound adsorbent and can be used for the degradation of dyes from water based solutions. Further investigation is required to enhance the adsorption rate of SMW of Agaricus bisporus.

Anaemia and being underweight are two global public health issues that include the significant population of girls of adolescents, directly affecting one’s working capacity and posing a great risk for future motherhood. In this study, a total of 798 college-going girls were observed with their height, weight and hemoglobin level over a period of five years. The mean age of the girls was 18 years, within the range of 17 years to 22 years. Anaemia poses a significant threat on a worldwide scale; in the present study, it was observed that 22% of the girls are severely anaemic, 34% are moderately anaemic, 17% are mildly anaemic, and only 26% are non-anaemia, which is significantly alarming about their health condition. On the other hand, we calculated their body mass index (BMI) with height and weight. It was found that only 36% of girls had a normal BMI, while 44% of the girls were underweight, which also raises concerns about their health issues for the near future. Although no direct relation can be drawn between the severity of anaemia and BMI, the parameters can help to express one's overall health status and can be used to improve health rights from adolescence.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the issue of noise pollution in the vicinity of the industrial zone of Haridwar city and its correlation with the health of the people in and around the SIDCUL (State Industrial Development Corporation of Uttarakhand Limited). The study revealed that noise pollution levels were above the CPCB Standard for the sound level for industrial zones and residential zones. During the period from January to December 2018, noise levels were observed and monitored in both the industrial zone (Site-I SIDCUL) and the residential zone (Site-II Siwalik Nagar). The average noise levels varied throughout the year. At Site-I (Industrial Zone), during the daytime in July, the maximum average noise level recorded was 89.5 dB, while in April; the minimum average noise level was 81.1 dB. During nighttime, in January, the maximum average noise level reached 84.1 dB, and in May, the minimum average noise level was 76.6 dB. In Site-II Siwalik Nagar (Residential Zone), the daytime noise levels were a maximum average noise level of 61.1 dB in May and a minimum average noise level of 58.8 dB in September. During nighttime, the noise level reached a maximum average of 47.2 dB in October and a minimum average of 44.5 dB in May. Overall, the study revealed that noise levels were generally higher in both zones, except for the average nighttime noise level at Site II (residential zone), which was below the prescribed standard limit for noise.

Plants are essential to our life as they provide us with food and, through photosynthesis, release oxygen into the atmosphere. Historical accounts about plants demonstrate their many benefits to humans and other living things. Rapid population growth and industrialization have damaged agricultural and forest flora. Raising awareness of the value of plants for sustainable development is necessary. This study focuses on the medicinal benefit of the phyto-diversity of angiosperms from the Shamli region of Uttar Pradesh and their medicinal value for mankind. Shamli is located near the Ganga River, on the eastern side of the Yamuna River at an elevation of 248 meters above sea level. This region's ideal temperature is between 13.8°C and 33.2°C. The vegetation of Shamli is enhanced by a variety of trees, shrubs, and plants. In addition to documenting fifty plant species that belong to several angiosperm genera and families, such as Abutilon indicum, Aegle marmelos, Azadirachta Indica, Moringa oliefera, and Calotropis gigantea, a critical study of the area's plant life has been conducted. The engagement with the locals of the Shamli region recorded the ethnomedicinal significance of the collected plants.

Fusarium wilts of linseed caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini have been identified in nearly all linseed-producing countries of the world. A comparison of phytoextract, chemical, and bio control agents against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini was conducted. Among the phytoextracts tested, Neem extract exhibited the highest antifungal activity in inhibiting the growth of F. oxysporum f.sp. lini at 5, 15, and 30% concentrations. In terms of biocontrol agents, T. virens was identified as the most efficient antagonist against F. oxysporum f.sp. lini. It significantly inhibited pathogen mycelial growth, displaying the highest level of inhibition. Among the chemical fungicides assessed, propiconazole exhibited the lowest mycelial growth of the pathogen and outperformed the other fungicides, with difenoconazole following as the next most effective.

Endophytes are the microorganisms that are present in living tissue of various plant parts (roots, fruits, stem, seed, leaf etc,). Endophytic microorganisms are good source of antibiotics. Endophytic antagonists were isolated from the roots of healthy acid lime plants collected from major acid lime growing areas of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 8 fungal and 10 bacterial endophytic antagonists were isolated. The antagonists were further subjected to preliminary screening, out of which only 6 endophytic fungal antagonists (EFA 1-6) and 8 endophytic bacterial antagonists (EBA 1-8) isolates showed good inhibitory effect on radial growth of Fusarium solani causing dry root rot in acid lime in vitro. Among them the one of the best fungal and bacterial antagonists that were found to be extremely efficient against Fusarium solani in dual culture assay were selected for further molecular identification. The BLAST results revealed that one of the fungal isolate had shown 100% similarity with Aspergillus fumigatus and one of the bacterial isolate had shown 95.56% similarity with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The results revealed that black gram seeds pelleted with Albizia leaf powder and sown at row spacing of 30 cm reported maximum plant height (43 cm), dry weight (12.49 g/plant), number nodules per plant (27.50), seeds per pod (7.07), test weight (42.19 g), grain yield (872.96 kg/ha), and haulm yield (2511.11 kg/ha) which was significantly superior to other treatments.","PeriodicalId":12035,"journal":{"name":"Environment Conservation Journal","volume":"240 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139350114","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}
