Thousands of hectares have been treated with Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) over many decades to reverse the adverse effects of land degradation. Many studies have attempted to evaluate the effect of this Soil Land Management (SLM) practice a posteriori. The aim of this study is to assess the evolution of Ecosystem Services (ES) in the first stage of FMNR based agroforestry system in Niger. We, therefore, monitored the evolution of Ecosystem services in sixty farmers (30 practicing FMNR and 30 without practicing FMNR) over three years (2017, 2018 and 2019). The year 2017 was considered as the reference year. Provisioning ecosystem services (agricultural production, fire, wood, service wood) and regulating services (Carbone sequestration) where quantified each year from the same farmers and in the same fields. All crop yields were quantified by biophysical measurements using a plot yield (10m x 10m) included in a larger plot (50m x 50m) for dendrometry measurements. Carbone sequestration was measured by soil carbon analysis and allometric equation for vegetation Carbone. The evolution of financial benefit is measured using Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA). The results showed that the increase in yields in FMNR fields compared to non-FMNR fields was not regular for all crops. Furthermore, the FMNR system improves the regulatory service, and hence, it stores a higher amount of organic carbon (605.5 mg / kg) than the systems without FMNR (432.5 mg / kg). The results of the CBA showed that the incremental cost is negative in 2017 but positive in 2018 and 2019. Therefore, the FMNR practice makes farmers wealthier. Soil Land Management Practices are financially profitable when all ecosystem services are quantified and valued.

Study on Enzyme Activities and Nutrient Availability in Calcareous Soil as Influence by Phytase and FYM Levels under Soybean Cultivation” was conducted during Kharif 2016 at Division of Soil Science, College of Agriculture, Pune. The treatment consisted of four levels of each phytase (0, 1200, 2400 and 3600 IU) and FYM (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 t ha-1) replicated thrice in factorial randomized block design. Enzyme activities and nutrient availability in soil was assessed and 50 % flowering and harvest of soybean. Application of phytase @ 3600 IU or 7.5 t ha-1 FYM recorded significantly higher acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and dehydrogenase activity at 50 % flowering and harvest of soybean. Significant increase in soil available phosphorus in calcareous soil at both the growth stages of soybean over initial was observed with the application of phytase and FYM in all the treatments. Application of 3600 IU phytase and 7.5 t ha-1 FYM recorded higher soil available nitrogen (245.65 and 180.08 kg ha-1) and phosphorus (16.08 and 13.34 kg ha-1) at 50 % flowering and at harvest. However, phytase application @ 2400 IU (252.62 and 243.36 kg ha-1) and FYM application either @ 7.5 or 5 t ha-1 (253.96 and 239.72 kg ha-1) were found effective for soil available potassium at both growth stages. Application of phytase @ 3600 IU recorded reduction magnitude from 13.31 to 12.43 % at 50 % flowering and from 12.29 to 10.93 % at harvest was obtained with the amendment of phytase. Similar trend was also recorded for 7.5 t ha-1 FYM. The magnitude of reduction in CaCO3 content was noticed very less in no phytase and no FYM at 50% flowering 14.06 per cent and at harvest 12.60 per cent.

The present study investigated the seasonal variation of microbial quality of irrigation water and vegetables produced at Nkolondom, Ebogo1 and Meyo farms in the Centre region of Cameroon. The physicochemical analysis of irrigation water was also studied. A total of 81 fresh horticultural products were harvested in the three farms and 27 water samples collected. For microbial quality, total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, total coliforms, E.coli and Vibrio spp were researched. Parameters such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, turbidity and total dissolved solids were measured at the water sampling sites. Data collected were analyzed using Statgraphics version 7.1 software. Results showed that total aerobic mesophilic bacteria had the highest count (9.78 log cfu/g) followed by total coliforms (7.5 log cfu/g), while faecal coliforms and Vibrio were the least represented. The maximal number of aerobic mesophilic bacteria was counted in parsley during the dry season (9.78 log cfu/g). The microbiological quality of irrigation water and vegetables was unacceptable, exceeding the standards accepted by WHO and International Commission on Microbiology Standards for Foods limits for safe consumption. These results indicate that the microbial hazard of these vegetables is alarmingly high and that consumers should be aware to take correct actions while consuming them.

Seed conversion refers to the process of converting murrel fish larvae into fingerlings for further growth and development. This process plays a crucial role in the aquaculture industry as it ensures a sustainable and continuous supply of murrel fish. Proper seed conversion techniques are essential to achieve high survival rates and profitable murrel fish farming. Seed conversion allows for the mass production of murrel fish fingerlings, which are in high demand in the market. It helps in maintaining the genetic diversity of murrel fish populations and prevents overfishing in natural habitats. Efficient seed conversion techniques contribute to increased productivity and profitability in murrel fish farming. We have to grade them based on their size due to its cannabolic nature. Infected murrel must be isolated separately. Efficient seed conversion techniques contribute to increased productivity and profitability in murrel fish farming.

Forecasting is an essential tool to estimate the future trend of any crop shortly. There are various techniques in the present scenario for predicting future figures and Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) is one among them. Sugarcane is an imperative crop in India, keeping in view its importance for many areas of the country and its diverse uses. The present study was intended to check and identify the best forecasting model of sugarcane production in India using historical data between the years 2001 to 2020, based on the estimation of a suitable ARIMA model. The analysis of ACF & PACF of different series revealed that ARIMA was the most suitable model for forecasting based on diagnostics, such as ACF, PACF, and AIC. The selected ARIMA model predicted the sugarcane production for the immediate 10 years from 2021.

Using the magnetic separation technique in nucleic acid extraction is considered one of the most rabid and easy automated extraction methods that use minimal amounts of equipment. This paper describes some cow-related factors that may affect the carrying of magnetic beads during the extraction process. A total of 85 milk samples were collected from clinically infected cows with mastitis. DNA extraction is done using the Mag MAX™ CORE Nucleic Acid Purification Kit and the King Fisher™ Duo Prime Purification System. Fifty-three (62.4%) samples are extracted normally, while thirty-two (37.6%) have a magnetic bead carried over, and two (6.3%) out of the thirty-two supernatant DNA samples can’t be collected. To evaluate the impact of lactation, frequency of mastitis, days in milk, and gestation period on magnetic beads carried over during DNA extraction when using the magnetic separation technique, a Chi-square test of independence was performed, and it showed that there was no significant association between magnetic beads carried over and lactation (Chi square = 0.28, P = 0.60), frequency of mastitis (Chi square = 2.26, P = 0.13), days in milk (Chi square = 0.84, P = 0.66), and gestation period (Chi square = 4.24, P = 0.12). Therefore, more studies need to be conducted to interpret this phenomenon.

Vegetable producers on the Bapla site use a wide range of methods to manage pests on vegetable crops; however, chemical fertilisers and pesticides are used almost systematically, despite the harmful effects of these chemicals on the environment and climate change, and on the health of producers and consumers. The phytosanitary analysis carried out in this study on this production perimeter aims to take an overview of the current practices in terms of the protection of vegetable crops, with a view to adopting good practices in the protection of the crops grown there. A sample of 50 growers was surveyed using a survey questionnaire prepared with Sphinx software. The study revealed that 98% of the growers surveyed systematically use chemical pesticides to protect their produce, although 96% are aware of the toxicity of these products. Some growers use plant extracts as biopesticides from time to time. The survey reveals that only 02% use biopesticides as an alternative to chemical pesticides. 75% of the vegetable growers surveyed were aware of biopesticides, compared with 25% who were unaware of their existence. As for the effectiveness of biopesticides, 77% of those who were aware of their existence and had already used them said they were effective. The study reveals that the availability of biopesticides and the time and effort required to formulate them are constraints on their use. 72.09% of growers advocate the availability of effective biopesticides at affordable prices. At the end of this study, it emerged, firstly, that there is an urgent need for ongoing training and retraining for farmers in the rational use of chemical pesticides, and secondly, that farmers need to be made aware of the need to promote the integrated management of crop pests. This will be done by building capacity in the formulation of biopesticides effective against pests and in the application techniques for these plant protection products.

This will be done by building capacity in the formulation of biopesticides effective against pests and in the application techniques for these plant protection products.","PeriodicalId":13777,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences","volume":"16 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140511288","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}

Correlation between yield and yield attribute component traits in forty two genotypes of pigeonpea revealed that seed yield per plant had positive and highly significant association with number of pods per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, plant height, number of seeds per pod and days to maturity. Selection criterion can be done based on these characters for seed yield will give successful for yield improvement in pigeonpea. Path coefficient analysis of different traits on seed yield per plant recorded that traits viz., number of secondary branches per plant, 100 seed weight, number of seeds per pod, plant height and number of primary branches per plant showed highest positive direct effect. Hence selection on these studied characters might be useful in pigeonpea yield improvement.

In conjunction with bioinformatics and comparable developments in tools, software, and visualisation modelling, current developments in plant sciences have propelled the scientific community into an active dispute over information. Despite the advent of Omics and numerous other remarkable bioinformatics tools, a considerable proportion of researchers still require further familiarisation with these instruments. The present evaluation centres on the potential implementations of diverse in silico tools and technologies in the analysis of plant sciences. Gaining knowledge of these many technologies will contribute to an enhanced comprehension of plant characteristics, including resistance to pathogens, tolerance to stress, and nutritional enhancement. Furthermore, we are collaborating on many challenges and limitations in the field of plant sciences that are associated with the bioinformatics methodology.
