Combined with vermicompost on the yield of Sharbati wheat cultivars, a field study was carried out in the Department of Agronomy, JNKVV, Jabalpur.In comparison to single application, the study discovered that adding vermicompost to bioorganic treatments like BD500, BD501, and panchgavya enhanced wheat yield characteristics and seed production. The Sharbati wheat variety JW3020 fared better than other kinds in an organic production system, having greater yield metrics (tillers 288.30 m2, grains/ear head 28.71, test weight 35.6 g, and ear length 7.40 cm). When all bio organic preparation (VC+BD500+BD501+Pancha gavya) were used in conjunction with the wheat variety JW3020, as opposed to other combinations of wheat types and the usage of other bio organic preparation, vermicompost produced the best results.

The thermal effects of wearing headgear are intricate, and various research have looked into different facets of this subject. This review seeks to summaries the various findings in order to provide a thorough overview of the subject and to provide fresh viewpoints. Headgear makes the head more insulated, making it more problematic in warm weather, which is the subject of this review. The local skin temperature and perspiration rate are the only physiological indicators that are affected by helmets. However, the head is one of the body areas that is most sensitive to thermal comfort, directly influencing whether or not a person will wear headgear. The application of these techniques demonstrated that convection and radiation are the primary mechanisms for heat transport. The helmet parameters that are important to these heat transmission channels are examined, and recommendations are given for enhancing current headgear concepts and creating fresh concepts, which will ultimately result in more widely accepted headgear.

In India, pigeonpea [Cajanus Cajan (L.) Millsp.] wilt caused by Fusarium udum is prevalent in all areas it cultivated. Among the major soil borne diseases pigeonpea, the Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium udum is one of the most important diseases and can cause 30-100% loss in grain yield. A pot experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of Trichoderma harzianum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, farm yard manure, spent mushroom substrate of oyster mushroom and the fungicide Carbendazim 50% WP against Fusarium wilt of pigeonpea in terms ofseed germination and disease incidence under artificial inoculation conditions during Kharif 2021. Among the treatments assessed, maximum seed germination (95.83%) was recorded in treatments in which seed were treated with Carbendazim 50% WP or soil amended with the combination of spent mushroom substrate+Trichoderma harzianum or spent mushroom substrate+(Trichoderma harzianum+ Pseudomonas fluorescens) prior to sowing. Maximum reduction in disease incidence (73.81%) of Fusarium wilt over the control was recorded in treatment in which soil was amended with combination of spent mushroom substrate+(Trichoderma harzianum+ Pseudomonas fluorescens). The results revealed that all the treatments applied as prophylactic measure, reduced the Fusarium wilt and increased the seed germination significantly over the unprotected crop.

An experiment was conducted with graded levels of three essential heavy metals viz., MnSO4, CuSO4 and ZnSO4at three different concentrations i.e., MnSO4 @ 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg kg-1 soil, CuSO4 @ 100, 200 and 300 mg kg-1 soil, ZnSO4 @ 200, 400 and 600 mg kg-1 soil in addition with no application of nutrients as well as essential heavy metals in the soil (Control). The experiment was carried out with polybag culture method and conducted with a Completely Randomized Design using three replications. Data recorded on leaf area, absolute growth rate, and flower yield of tuberose cv. ‘Prajwal’ were analyzed using OPSTAT software and the least significant difference was used to differentiate the treatments. Mean analysis of the data indicated that application of ZnSO4 @ 400 mg kg-1 soil recorded significant increase in the leaf area (209.22, 239.31 and 224.87 cm2per plantrespectively during 2018-19, 2019-20 and the pooled data analysis) and absolute growth rate (0.035, 0.109 and 0.073cmday-1 respectively during 2018-19, 2019-20 and the pooled data analysis). Asubstantial increase in the weight of single floret in tuberose cv. ‘Prajwal’ was noticed by application of ZnSO4 @ 400 mg kg-1 soil which might be attributed to the consequential increase in the leaf area and absolute growth rate, even though the analyzed data was found non-significant.

Power harrow is the tillage implement, now being projected as important implement that results in production of fine tilth soil. The study was conducted to compare the performance of rotavator and power harrow taking forward speed (2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 km/h) and operating depth (50, 80, 110 and140 mm) as independent parameters and theoretical field capacity (ha/h), effective field capacity (ha/h), field efficiency (per cent), fuel consumption (l/h), soil pulverization (mm) as dependent parameters.The maximum theoretical field capacity (0.42 ha/h), effective field capacity (0.36 ha/h) and field efficiency (85.71%) was found at forward speed of 3.5 km/h. Also, the results of this study proved that the fuel consumption and soil pulverization was greatly affected by tractor speed and working depth. Increase in forward speed and operating depth increases the fuel consumptionand decreases the soil pulverization.The minimum fuel consumption (4.33 l/h) and mean mass diameter of soil (5.80 mm) was recorded at 2 km/h forward speed at 50 mm operating depth of the power harrow.The cost of operation of the power harrow was found to be Rs. 3870per hectare.

Unless the farmer is predisposed to favourable values towards the change he is not in a position to use the information supplied to him for changing his behavior. In depends on so many inter-related factors, of which, information management is one of the vital factor influencing heavily the communication skill of the extension personnel. Sugarcane production plays a significant role in the Indian economy. It provides the raw material for sugar and industries producing alcohol, paper, chemicals and cattle feed. India is one of the largest producers of sugarcane in the world and one of the leading countries for the export of sugarcane. An ex post facto study was conducted in Bodla block of Kabirdham district of Chhattisgarh covering 314 villages and 111 selected sugarcane growers who were interviewed personally with the help structured interview schedule. It was found that majority (63.96%) of the respondents belonged to moderate scientific orientation category. It was also observed that only two variables had significant relationship with scientific orientation and the remaining twelve variables had non significant relationship with scientific orientation.

Aquaculture is essential in generating employment and food in the world. Fish feed is an important aspect in aquaculture. Ancient Sanskrit scripture Manasollasa by King Someshwara has provided a clear evidence of feeding fishes with different kinds of ingredients. Such profound knowledge base has provided impetus to modern feed industry and feed management strategies. Modern extruded and pelleted feeds are in line with the earlier description indicating the farfetched understanding of nature and its systems by the scholars. High cost of feed ingredients has been a huge challenge in aquaculture prompting for rigorous research and development in feed formulations. Evolution in this process has allowed aquaculture production to come closer to the quantity of fish obtained from capture fisheries. Algal biomass, live feeds like artemia have been limited in use due to higher production cost. Biofilms, bioflocs are the most recent technical strategies discussed in the internet era as a part of cost cutting methods in feed management. Search for better process of feeding with cost effective ingredients will be an ongoing process in aquaculture. Population estimates are alarming and demand for food is ever increasing in the world. Quick, sustainable and continued efforts are the only way out to tackle this global emergency food.
