The investigation was carried out at the laboratory of Plant Pathology Department, SASRD, Nagaland University (NU), Medziphema Campus, Nagaland, India during the year kharif (August-October, 2020) to evaluate the antagonistic potentiality of Trichoderma spp. (T. harzianum, T. asperellum and T. virens) against three diseases of pigeonpea viz. Alternaria leaf spot (Alternaria alternata), Collar rot (Sclerotium rolfsii), Phytophthora blight (Phytophthora drechsleri f. sp. cajani). Dual culture technique was followed to test the efficacy of these antagonists as bio-agents against the pathogens. Result of in vitro screening test revealed that all the bio-agents significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of the pathogens. Among the three Trichoderma spp. evaluated, T. harzianum (55.53%) was found to be the highest in per cent inhibition of A. alternata, T. asperellum (50.87 %) recorded highest per cent inhibition on S. rolfsii and T. virens (55.88%) recorded highest per cent inhibition on Phytophthora drechsleri f. sp. cajani. Thus, the in vitro study suggests that the Trichoderma spp. has a potential to be used as bio-agents in managing these three fungal diseases viz. Alternaria leaf spot, Collar rot and Phytophthora blight of pigeonpea.
本研究于2020年8月至10月在印度那加兰邦大学(NU) Medziphema校区植物病理系植物病理系实验室进行,目的是评价木霉(harzianum, asperellum和T. virens)对3种木豌豆病害的拮抗潜力,即:互花叶斑病(Alternaria alternata)、颈腐病(Sclerotium rolfsii)和疫霉(Phytophthora drechsleri f. sp. cajani)。采用双培养技术对这些拮抗剂作为生物制剂对病原菌的拮抗效果进行了研究。体外筛选试验结果表明,所有生物制剂均能显著抑制病原菌菌丝的生长。3种木霉中,哈氏霉(55.53%)对互生木霉的抑制率最高,曲霉(50.87%)对罗氏木霉的抑制率最高,而绿霉(55.88%)对木霉的抑制率最高。因此,体外研究表明木霉属具有作为生物制剂用于防治鸽豌豆褐斑病、颈腐病和疫霉病的潜力。

The increasing human population and continuous demands of timber and its derived products like composite wood, has created a significant pressure on the demand for high quality timber from forests. This, ultimately has resulted in pressurising the natural forests and increase in the unvailibility of the production of high quality or durable timber from the forests. The one way to neutralize this pressure on the forests is to modify the other non durable wood species having undesirable properties like hygroscopicity, anisotropy, dimensional instability and biodegradability. Treatment with neem extracts as a biopreservative proves to be very efficient to protect the wood from bacterial or fungal rots. In the present study, wood specimens of Toona ciliata M. Roem. were treated with neem leaf and seed extracts for 72 hours in concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% (w/v), and analyzed for fungal growth and inhibition on dry weight basis using Polyporous rubidus. The fungal growth was maximum in untreated (control) samples whereas, minimum growth was observed in the neem leaf and seed extracts with 2.00% concentration. This method comes to be one of the most eco-friendly processes of wood preservation and helps in utilization of Toon wood in more effective and sustainable way. Also, the minimal release of harmful chemicals in the environment, helps to widen the industrial applications of Toona ciliata wood and make its acceptance to the society with ease.

Water is one of the most important natural resources and a physiological necessity to humankind. Freshwater is one of the necessities for the sustenance of life. The use and development of water resources in a sustainable manner is essential in the modern age due to the regular increase in water crises. Remote sensing and GIS techniques are powerful tools for analyzing and manipulating water resource development and management data. GIS technology provides suitable alternatives for the efficient management of large and complex databases. The most significant advantage of using Remote Sensing data for hydrological modeling and monitoring is its ability to generate information in the spatial and temporal domain. Remote sensing and GIS techniques are found efficient to minimize the time, labor, and money and make quick decisions for Sustainable water resources management. Remotely sensed data are most valuable when combined with numerical modeling, geographic information systems, and ground-based information. In short, both these techniques play a significant role in hydrology for water resources development and management. The remote sensing data helps in fairly accurate hydro geomorphological analysis and identification and delineation of land features. The review paper highlights Remote Sensing and GIS techniques and presents a brief review on the application of these two emerging techniques for groundwater resource management and development. Thus, surface investigation of groundwater has proved to be more accessible, time consistent, and cheaper using geomatics technologies.

In almost all states of India, crop residue burning is a common practice that has induced detrimental effects on the environment, soil, and health. Although stubble burning is a felony under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Air and Pollution Control Act (may be utilised for cow feed, composted with manure, rural roofing, beverage production, packaging materials, and bioethanol, among others) but these are adopted rarely because of unawareness. According to various surveys, farmers practice crop residue burning in many states in India. This is mainly due to the government’s silence, which cannot stop such activities. The purpose of this review is to illustrate the current state of stubble-burning procedures for agricultural waste disposal in India and present numerous potential strategies for crop residue valorisation Overall, this review paper gives an in-depth overview of the detrimental impacts of agricultural waste burning in India, as well as other, more promising management options, such as the use of bioenergy. If widely implemented, these strategies could not only reduce the negative environmental effects of crop residue management, but also add value to the crop global agricultural industry.

The present investigation was conducted at the Breeder Seed Production Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, M.P., India during November to April, (Rabi season), 2021 to 2022 analyse grain yield and its attributing traits of wheat by correlation and path coefficient analysis. The twenty genotypes were in randomized complete block design with three replications. The results indicated that the biological yield per plant had highly significant correlation followed by harvest index with a moderate positive value and is significant with the grain yield per plant. Similarly the analysis of direct and indirect effects shows that the plant height, flag leaf length, flag leaf width, days to 50% flowering, grains per spike, biological yield per plant, and harvest index had positive direct effect on grain yield per plant. Hence it may be considered that traits namely, plant height, flag leaf length, flag leaf width, days to 50% flowering, grains per spike, biological yield per plant, and harvest index may be utilized for yield improvement breeding strategies in wheat. However, biological yield and harvest index will be given prime importance during selection of traits, due to their significant association and having a direct or indirect effect in crop yield improvement.

The present study was conducted to evaluate Genotype×Environment interaction and stability analysis for quality parameters for 9 observations in 50 little millet genotypes under three environments i.e.Waghai, Vanarasi and Navsari locations under Gujarat, India during the year kharif-2020. Stability analysis revealed that G×E interaction was significantly differed for all the characters except calcium content (mg 100 g-1) and ash content (mg 100 g-1) indicated that different genotypes reacted differently to different environmental conditions. Estimates of environmental indices indicated that Waghai location was favourable for yield contributing characters along with quality parameters followed by Navsari and Vanarasi. The results of present study revealed that none of the genotypes exhibited average stability for all the characters. Among the genotypes, WV 262, WV 258, WV 256, WV 293 and WV 273 were found average stable over environments for grain yield plant-1 with quality parameters. So, these genotypes may be used in further breeding programme in little millet.

Infrastructure facilities on market information are telecommunication systems, computers with internet facilities, adequate working staff and display boards which play significant role in disseminate market information to stakeholders. Market information makes stakeholders to take decision about collection and selling of the forest produce, and it has impact on arrivals of the produce. Present paper deals with the factors influencing infrastructure and arrivals in GCC (Girijan Cooperative Corporation) of HAT zone of Andhra Pradesh. GCC staff and 120 traders were taken for the present study. MLRM (Multiple Linear Regression Model) analysis was employed to study the relationship among both independent and dependent variables. The results of the study indicated that major factors influencing MI infrastructure are quantity of market arrivals of MFP, funds received from GCC significant at 1%, active participation of buyers and sellers significant at 5%. Factors influencing market arrivals are remunerative prices realized for MFP in GPCMS (Girijan Primary Co–operative Marketing Society) /PPCs (Primary Procurement Centers) (relative to prices prevailing in shandies), prompt payment of sales proceeds are significant at 1%, and timely market information from GPCMS/PPCs, availability of good road facility to GPCMS/PPCs significant at 5%. Local government should focus on constructing suitable road facilities, conduct awareness programs about value addition units and educate the tribal farmers about importance of MFP.

Cotton is essentially produced for its fibre, which is universally used as a textile raw material. Cotton is an important commodity in the world economy. A remunerative price environment for the growers is very important for increasing production. In this context the study on area, production, export, import, supply and demand and their compound growth rates as well as influence on prices of cotton were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools and Artificial Neural Network model (ANN). The results showed that, compound growth rate of exports was negative and significant with -2.41 per cent whereas, imports showed a positive and significant growth rate with10.44per cent from 2006-07 to 2021-22. The seasonal indices of cotton arrivals in Andhra Pradesh were highest in the months of January (177.54), December (153.67) and November (146.10) because of holding of previous seasons crop by traders and farmers in anticipation of higher prices. The return on rupee investment was 0.596 which is concerned to tenant farmers and return on variable costs was 0.848 which is mostly related to owner farmers. The lower seasonal indices for cotton prices were observed in the months of December (97.23) and November (101.50). The results of ANN model revealed that, neural network 9-29-1(9 input nodes, 29 hidden nodes, and 1 output) outperformed all other neural networks with lower MAPE (2.904), RMSE (140.59), MAE (90.02), and MASE (0.114) values. It was expected that demand will persist in 2022-23 harvesting season also with a price around Rs. 8269/ q.
