Soil erosion has adverse economic and environmental impacts. The economic effects are due to loss of farm income with adverse impact on crop production. There is a need to understand the trade-offs between farm income and soil loss faced by the farmers in making decisions at farm level. There are different methodologies that integrate into a bio-economic model wherein the multi objective linear programming models have focus on the economic aspects and biophysical components. In this study, we tried to examine the status of soil erosion and formulated a methodological frame work for optimising the farm level objectives and their trade-offs for sustainable farming systems.

Eco-friendly natural dye extracted from Swietenia mahogany leaves, has been used as eco-friendly dye to cotton and silk fabrics. The dyeing was carried out with and without the use of mordants and the fastness properties of the fabrics were determined. Colour values in terms of K/S and L* a* b* C and h colour coordinates were examined. A wide range of shades were obtained by using various mordants and mordanting techniques. Dye was tested for some eco-parameters using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and GC/MS. The effluent disposed at the end of the processing was also tested in some cases. The test results were compared with set standards to determine the eco-friendliness of natural dye, show that their concentrations are much below the stipulated limits.

Large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) is an important cash crop of Sikkim and Darjeeling district of West Bengal. Insect pests are one of the main constraints of production of this crop. Surveillance and monitoring for insect pests was carried out in the farm of Indian Cardamom Research Institute, Spices Board, Pangthang during 2011-12 and 2012-13. Three new species of insects viz., Melolontha sp. nr. furcicauda Anccy (Scarabidae : Melolonthinae), Anomala dimidiate (Hope) (Scarabidae : Rutelinae), Bhahmina sp. (Scarabidae : Melolonthinae) were collected by installing different coloured light traps. The coleopteran beetles were identified from Department of Entomology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore - 560 065, India. This forms the first record of these three insects in large cardamom ecosystem from Sikkim region.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common endocrine disorder and represents a major health problem. DM is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to relative or absolute lack of insulin or the actions of insulin. Insulin is the main treatment for patients with type 1 DM and it is also important in type 2 DM when blood glucose levels cannot be controlled by diet, weight loss, exercise and oral medication alone. Thus, prior to treatment through insulin, herbal plants may be used. The Momordica charantia (family cucurbitaceae) is one of the plant used for treatment of DM. Treatment with M. Charantia fruit Juice reduces blood glucose with improved body weight and glucose tolerance, but it stimulates glucose uptake by skeletal muscle cells. It also preserves Islet Beta cells normalizes the systolic blood pressure and modulates xenobiotic metabolism and oxidative stress. M. Charantia also has anti carcinogenic properties.

The forests canopy in malnad regions of the Western Ghats favours the luxuriant growth of flowering plants, medicinal plants, orchids, lichens, pteriodophytes and bryophytes. We conducted the study of bryophyte distribution in different types of forests during June 2010 to March 2012 in the malnad regions of Chikmagalur district, Karnataka. A total of 62 species of bryophytes belonging to 44 genera and 30 families, of these, mosses comprise 46 species, liverworts 14 species and two species of hornworts were documented. The present study reveals that Bryaceae, Meteoriaceae, Fissidentaceae and Hypnaceae are dominant families in the study area. Bryum coronatum , B. plumosum , B. pseudotriquetrum , Campylopus flexuosus , Hyophila involuta , Fissidens sps., Barbula indica, Pterobryopsis sps., Isopterygium sps., Asterella khasiana , Reboulia hemisphaerica , and Fossombronia indica are commonly distributed in study area. Soil microhabitat represents well distribution of bryophytes compare to other microhabitat in non-forest areas, grasslands and acacia plantations. Contrary to this, wood is having well bryophyte distribution in forest areas. There is no available data on bryophytes of malnad regions of Chikmagalur district. So this preliminary baseline data gives their documentation, distribution and species richness. It helps to thrive light on future research.

Research studies on the purification of groundwater have mainly been carried out in developed countries and have focused on water purification systems using aluminium sulphate (a coagulant) and chlorine (a disinfectant). Such systems are expensive and not viable for rural communities due to abject poverty. There has been very little scientific research work into the use of plant extracts to purify groundwater. Findings from a preliminary lab-scale study show strong potentials of phytodisinfectants as a low-cost, appropriate and ecological alternative technology in purifying water in rural areas of Gujarat. Shallow well water, which is commonly available throughout Gujarat, is often grossly contaminated and usually consumed untreated. This research was aimed at examining natural plant extracts in order to develop inexpensive ways for rural communities to purify their groundwater. The study involved creating an inventory of plant extracts that have been used for water and waste water purification. A prioritization system was derived to select the most suitable extracts, which took into account criteria such as availability, purification potential, yield and cost of extraction. Laboratory trials were undertaken on the most promising plant extracts, namely: Moringa concanensis (Seed), Annona sqamosa (Leaf) and Ficus racemosa (Leaf). The trials consisted of jar tests to assess the coagulation potential and the resulting effect on physico-chemical parameters (Yongabi et al , 2011 ) . The pH of the water samples decreased with dosage, but remained within acceptable levels for drinking water for all the extracts. Overall, M. concanensis powder produced superior results, followed by Ficus racemosa and lastly Annona sqamosa . There is a need to carry out further more detailed tests, which include toxicity to guarantee the safety of using plant extracts as a coagulant in the purification of drinking water for human consumption.
对地下水净化的研究主要在发达国家进行，主要集中在使用硫酸铝(一种混凝剂)和氯(一种消毒剂)的水净化系统上。这种系统成本高昂，而且由于赤贫，对农村社区来说不可行。关于利用植物提取物净化地下水的科学研究工作很少。一项初步实验室规模研究的结果表明，植物消毒剂作为古吉拉特邦农村地区净水的一种低成本、适当和生态的替代技术具有巨大潜力。在古吉拉特邦随处可见的浅井水往往受到严重污染，而且通常未经处理就被饮用。这项研究的目的是研究天然植物提取物，以便为农村社区开发廉价的净化地下水的方法。该研究包括创建用于水和废水净化的植物提取物的清单。综合考虑可得性、纯化潜力、提取率和提取成本等因素，建立了优选提取物的优先级体系。对最有希望的植物提取物进行了实验室试验，即:辣木(种子)，番槐(叶)和榕(叶)。试验包括罐子试验，以评估凝血电位及其对理化参数的影响(Yongabi et al .， 2011)。水样的pH值随着剂量的增加而降低，但所有提取物的pH值都保持在饮用水的可接受水平内。总体而言，甜槠粉的效果较好，其次是总状榕，最后是凤梨。有必要进行进一步的更详细的测试，其中包括毒性测试，以保证使用植物提取物作为混凝剂净化供人类饮用的饮用水的安全性。

Depending upon the type of wheat, different amount of water is required to properly condition the wheat for milling. This research was aimed to determine the optimum water and temperature required to temper different wheat varieties. Four wheat varieties including Inqlab 91, Bhakar 2002, Chakwal 50, and Auqab 2000 were tempered at 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 percent of moisture and held at 25, 30, 35 and 40°C temperatures for 16 hrs. The physical and chemical evaluation showed that there were significant differences among properties of whole wheat flour alongwith ash content, crude protein content, wet and dry gluten content, falling number and SDS sedimentation value. Physical flour properties evaluated through Farinogram were also influenced significantly among selected wheat cultivars.
