The current agricultural approach emphasizes maximizing water productivity by implementing in-situ moisture conservation methods. The tractor-operated check basin former is a mechanical device consisting of various components such as the mainframe, side bund former, lister former, trigger mechanism with power transmission, and hitch mast. Its primary function is to create basins of 6 x 2 meters in size. These basins simultaneously produce side bunds and cross bunds, effectively dividing the land into a number of sections for better moisture retention and distribution. The check basin former was assessed in the field for its ability to retain moisture effectively. The evaluation aimed at finding a solution that facilitates faster and more affordable basin construction, ensuring better moisture retention in the soil.

The various growing techniques and production processes, required to work operations, technical procedures, appropriate techniques for soil management systems, orchard tractors, soil-working equipment, mulching and mowing equipment, post hole diggers, spreaders, sprayers, front-fitted knife trimmers, harvesting equipment, transporting equipment, shakers, harvesters, etc. are all included in modern horticultural mechanization. Harvesting, trimming and spraying still require manual labour and should be automated. In India, the typical farm power density is 1 kW ha-1. Timeliness is limited due to power availability during key operational periods. There is 3.75 kW ha-1 of required power density is thought to be necessary to maintain timeliness of activities. The relevance of regional producers and global markets for machinery and equipment cannot be overstated. New production methods must be the focus of interdisciplinary research including plant scientists, engineers, food scientists, economics, and marketing professionals. The key to innovation is a deep grasp of the system. Certain crops require distinct growing techniques and only then can specialised machinery work. In this review different fruit plucking and pruning equipments were discussed along with the different processes involved for different crops harvesting characteristics.

A comparative drying study was conducted to investigate the thin-layer drying characteristics of Simarouba glauca leaves, known for their presence of quassinoids, phenols, flavonoids and antioxidants. The study aimed to determine the most effective drying method for preserving the best quality of the leaves. Shade drying, sun drying and tray drying at 55oC were employed, and the drying process was evaluated based on drying rate, drying time and moisture ratio. The results demonstrated that tray drying exhibited the highest drying rate (0.3307 kg/kgd.h), while shade drying showed the lowest drying rate (0.0810 kg/ kgd.h). Ten mathematical models for thin-layer drying were applied to describe the drying behavior of Simarouba glauca leaves. These models were assessed based on their fit to the moisture ratio data, using correlation co-efficient (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) as comparison metrics. The midilli model displayed the highest correlation co-efficient and the lowest RMSE, indicating its superior performance in describing the drying characteristics of the leaves. In terms of the drying methods, the midilli model exhibited the highest R2 and the lowest RMSE, suggesting its suitability for predicting the drying behaviour under various conditions.

A field experiment was conducted to find out the impact of wastewater irrigation on physical and microbiological soil health in marigold (Tagetes patula L. cv.Pusa deep) based on FDR sensor at Water Technology Centre farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during period of 2020-2021. Eight treatments T-1: Groundwater irrigation scheduled at 25% MAD (v=27%); T-2: Groundwater irrigation scheduled at 50% MAD (v =22.5%) T-3: Groundwater irrigation scheduled at 75% MAD (v= 18%);T4: Groundwater irrigation scheduled as per farmers practice/recommended POP; T-5: Wastewater irrigation scheduled at 25% MAD (v= 27%); T-6: Wastewater irrigation scheduled at 50% MAD (v= 22.5%); T-7: Wastewater irrigation scheduled at 50% MAD (v= 18%); T-8: Wastewater irrigation scheduled as per farmers practice/recommended POP were laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Results indicated that soil chemical properties such as pH, organic carbon, EC, NPK and heavy metalat depth of 0-15 cm in marigold. As soil pH (7.80), EC (0.24 to 0.31 dS/m), OC (0.38), NPK and the concentration of heavy metals (Ni, Cd, Cr, Pb) were significantly higher in the treatment T6 where wastewater irrigations were scheduled at 50% MADas compared to groundwater irrigations. Moreover, the quality and grade of marigold came to be high in wastewater irrigated plots compared to groundwater. Thus, short-term application of wastewater has less impact over soil and gives better results in crop growth and quality but, the long-term application of wastewater may affect the chemical properties of the soil which can be analysed with different ranges of MAD (maximum allowable deficit) need to be studied.

In Apis mellifera and Apis cerana hygienic behavior involves recognition and removal of sick, damaged or dead brood from capped cells. We investigated whether bees react in the same way to grouped versus isolated damaged capped brood cells. Ten colonies of Apis mellifera honey bees and ten colonies of Apis cerana honey bees were used for this investigation. Capped worker brood cells aged 12 to 14 days old were perforated with the pin-killing method. After making holes in the brood cells, the combs were placed back into the hives; 24 h later the number of cleaned cells was recorded in areas with pin-killed and control brood cells. Four repetitions were made in each colony. Isolated cells were more frequently cleaned than grouped cells, though variance analysis showed no significant difference. Apis cerana bees also were somewhat, though not significantly more hygienic than Apis mellifera honey bees with mean removal of pin killed brood 97.46+/-1.37% and 83.83+/1.13% respectively. We conclude that honey bees can detect and remove both isolated and grouped dead brood. The tendency towards greater hygienic efficiency directed towards grouped Hygienic behaviour in honey bees was studied for first time with the aim of understanding mechanisms of pathogen resistance and colony health. It shows how honey bees confer colony level resistance and remove dead and diseased brood from the colony. This hygienic behavioural study can potentially increase the procedure of screening colonies for hygiene and breeding.

Population ageing is a worldwide phenomenon experienced by almost all the nationsthroughout the world and reflects social, economic and health achievements. Economic security is the major challenge of population aging in India. National Old Age Pension Scheme is the primary source of income of the elderly.The research examines the perceived consumption pattern of basic items, geriatric satisfaction with the quality of basic items, and the cross-cultural impact of the old age pension on thelivelihood indicators.The cross – cultural study was conducted in the Mewat and Bagad zones of Haryana state. A total of 200 Old age pensioner (age >65 years) were selected randomly for the study.The study revealed that majority of the geriatrics was residing with their children in both the zones.
