The knowledge of the medicinal properties of the plants is rooted back in the cultural transmission of historic traditions, and beliefs of the inhabitants of a given geographical area, and in the ancient texts, literature such as Ebers Papyrus, De Materia Medica. The ethnic communities such as Bhotiya residing in the Byans valley of West Himalaya, India; Chin indigenous group of Myanmar still customize their herbal formulations from different plant parts depending upon the types of disease for disease prevention and treatment. However, with the change in consumer behavior, the pharmaceutical industries are gaining interest in the formulation of modern medicines based upon natural plant extracts, or the isolated bioactive compounds.

One of the alternative ways of sugarcane sett planting is to sow excised sugarcane buds, popularly called as budchips. Despite the advantages of budchip technology, sugarcane growers are failed to achived higher production under field conditions due to rapid exhaustion of small sized storage tissue (budchip). Evaluate the role of varied concentrations of nephtahline acetic acid and calcium chloride on growth, production and quality of budships in semi-arid condition during two consecutive spring seasons of 2018 and 2019. Results from both years 2018 and 2019, showed that significantly (P ≤ 0.05) improved in sprouting establishment (86%), leaf area index (11.98 and 11.96), leaf area duration (1272 and 1293 days), crop growth rate (11.58 and 11.02 g m-2 day-1), net assimilation rate (2.53 and 2.55 g m-2 day-1), cane height (203 and 224 cm), number of tillers m-2 (27 and 26), cane diameter (2.97 and 3.01 cm), stripped cane yield (101.98 and 98.52 t ha-1), commercial can sugar (14.45 and 14.39%), sugar yield (16.77 and 16.75 t ha-1) were recorded in budchips soaked with CaCl2 2% + NAA 2 ppm. In above studied traits, significantly (P ≤ 0.05) minimum was recorded in budchips soaked with CaCl2 0% + NAA 0 ppm (control). On the basis of above results, it might be recommended to farmers who want to adopt this budchip technology should soaked budchips within 2% solution of CaCl2 with 2 ppm NAA that was suitable for improving growth, yield and quality of sugarcane budchip.
甘蔗定植的另一种方法是播种切除的甘蔗芽，通常被称为芽片。尽管budchip技术具有优势，但由于小型储存组织(budchip)迅速耗竭，甘蔗种植者在田间条件下未能实现更高的产量。评价2018年和2019年连续两个春季不同浓度醋酸和氯化钙对半干旱条件下幼体生长、产量和品质的影响。2018年和2019年两年,结果显示,显著改善(P≤0.05)发芽建立(86%)、叶面积指数(11.98和11.96),叶面积持续时间(1272和1293天),作物生长速率(11.58和11.02 g m - 2普通人),净同化率(2.53和2.55 g m - 2普通人),甘蔗高度(203和224厘米),分蘖数m - 2(27日和26),甘蔗直径(2.97和3.01厘米),剥夺了甘蔗产量(101.98和98.52 t农业,商业可以糖(14.39%和14.45),在CaCl2 2% + NAA 2ppm浸泡条件下，糖产量分别为16.77和16.75 t ha-1。以上各性状在CaCl2 0% + NAA 0 ppm(对照)浸泡条件下均达到极显著(P≤0.05)最低。综上所述，建议采用该技术的农户在2%的CaCl2溶液中加入2 ppm NAA浸泡，以提高甘蔗芽片的生长、产量和品质。

Citrus nematode (Tylenchulus semipenetrans) is a major threat to the citrus industry in Pakistan. During 2019-20, a survey was carried out for citrus nematode and its antagonists in citrus orchards (Both healthy and declining trees were samples) of Punjab, Pakistan. Bhalwal, Shahpur, Sillanwali, Kotmomin, Sargodha, Quaidabad, Jhang, and Rahim Yar Khan were surveyed for disease incidence, prevalence, and association of T. semipenetrans. Maximum disease prevalence (100%) was recorded in Rahim Yar Khan while minimum (20%) in Bhalwal and Kotmomin. Maximum slow decline with 80% field incidence was observed in Rahim Yar Khan while a minimum of 20% in Quaidabad. Soil and root samples were used for nematode extraction using Baerman's funnel method and the Whitehead Hemming tray method. A maximum number of J2s/100ml of soil were observed in soil samples taken from Rahim Yar Khan (1674) followed by Shahpur (1534), Qaidabad (1432), Sargodha (1347), and Bhalwal (1172). The highest number of nematode females per gram of root were recorded in Rahim Yar Khan (652) followed by Quaidabad (611), Bhalwal (490), Kotmomin (421), Sillanwali (387). Isolation of different fungal and bacterial antagonist isolates was also done by soil dilution plate technique using nutrient agar media and potato dextrose agar media. Identification of fungal antagonists was made on colony growth, color, and spore structure. Bacterial identification was also done on morphological characters and gram tests. Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma koningii Trichoderma atroviride, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis were found associated.

Nursery production of grapes in soil-based media causes higher mortality due to soil-borne diseases including root rot, damping off, phytophthora and die back etc. The study was planned to explore the potential of various growing media for the nursery production of grapes cv. Sultana-C through cuttings. Six different growing media including peat moss, silt, sugarcane bagasse, saw dust, coconut fiber and farm yard manure alone and in different combinations (16) were tested. Treatments were arranged under Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and replicated five times. Results indicated that grapes cutting planted in (GM13) media combination of sugarcane bagasse, silt and saw dust (1:1:1) exhibited highest sprouting percentage (100%) and significant results for shoots and roots length (41.4 and 40.4 cm respectively), inter-nodal distance (3.4 cm), leaf area (78.93 cm), no. of leaves (12.3), shoots diameter (10.43 cm) and fresh weight of shoots and roots (17.35 and 19.84 g) as compared to other growing media. Maximum mortality percentage was observed in media (GM6) containing Silt + FYM (1:1) and (GM18) sawdust + FYM + coconut fiber (1:1:1). Conclusively, the combination of sugarcane bagasse, silt and saw dust (1:1:1) has been proved highly significant for survival and growth of grapes nursery.

Fish fauna of Doon Valley (part of District Dehradun) was explored alongwith 15 physical and chemical water quality parameters. Fish and water sampling was done of five major rivers viz., Baldi, Song and Suswa in the Eastern and Tons and Asan in the Western part of Doon Valley. While doing the taxonomical analysis, four teratological evidence were recorded in the fish species. Teratological manifestation with respect to furcated rostral barbel was observed in one female specimen of Paracanthocobitis botia, furcated maxillary barbel was seen in one specimen of Glyptothorax pectinopterus, forked rostral barbel in Lepidocephalichthys guntea and furcated caudal fin in Heteropneustes fossilis. The fluctuation pattern in water quality all through 3 different seasons reflected an increment pattern from summer to rainy in the parameters like depth, width, water velocity, CO2, turbidity and TDS. The declining trend in the values of the aforesaid parameters was noticed beyond rainy months. From rainy to winters, the increment in values was noticed in DO, pH, hardness, alkalinity, BOD, nitrate and phosphate was observed. The parameters which showed increment in values from winters to summers include AT, WT, CO2. Width, depth and WV have been the chief physical factors with wide range of variations. BOD, Hardness, NO3 TDS, DO and CO2 values seemed more important from the quality of water chemistry point of view. Seasonal variation in physical and chemical parameters have also been observed.

Rana","doi":"10.18811/ijpen.v7i04.12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18811/ijpen.v7i04.12","url":null,"abstract":"Fish fauna of Doon Valley (part of District Dehradun) was explored alongwith 15 physical and chemical water quality parameters. Fish and water sampling was done of five major rivers viz., Baldi, Song and Suswa in the Eastern and Tons and Asan in the Western part of Doon Valley. While doing the taxonomical analysis, four teratological evidence were recorded in the fish species. Teratological manifestation with respect to furcated rostral barbel was observed in one female specimen of Paracanthocobitis botia, furcated maxillary barbel was seen in one specimen of Glyptothorax pectinopterus, forked rostral barbel in Lepidocephalichthys guntea and furcated caudal fin in Heteropneustes fossilis. The fluctuation pattern in water quality all through 3 different seasons reflected an increment pattern from summer to rainy in the parameters like depth, width, water velocity, CO2, turbidity and TDS. The declining trend in the values of the aforesaid parameters was noticed beyond rainy months. From rainy to winters, the increment in values was noticed in DO, pH, hardness, alkalinity, BOD, nitrate and phosphate was observed. The parameters which showed increment in values from winters to summers include AT, WT, CO2. Width, depth and WV have been the chief physical factors with wide range of variations. BOD, Hardness, NO3 TDS, DO and CO2 values seemed more important from the quality of water chemistry point of view. Seasonal variation in physical and chemical parameters have also been observed.","PeriodicalId":14298,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLANT AND ENVIRONMENT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73185694","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}
