The present study investigates the effect of agricultural runoff on the water quality of a few ponds which are located near paddy fields and are active human use. We further investigated the effect of altered water quality on the inhabiting fish species by evaluating oxidative stress markers and catalase activity in the muscle and liver tissue. Our study showed acidification of pond water, increased nitrate, phosphate, COD, Total Dissolved solids, Total Suspended Solids content, and heavy metals (Pb and Cd) in all the three ponds under study which were found to be above the recommended level for human use. However, the level of Hg in the contaminated ponds was observed to be below the recommended level for human use. One of the ponds under study, i.e. Nua Bandh, was devoid of higher group of vertebrate species like Pisces and exhibited extremely deteriorated water quality. There was increased free radical generation and consequent lipid peroxidation in liver and muscle tissue of fish inhabiting these ponds. The total protein contents in muscle was found to be decreased while it increased in liver tissue compared to fish species inhabiting the control pond indicating elevated detoxification enzyme system and associated proteins in the liver tissue. There was elevated catalase activity in both liver and muscle tissue in the fish species inhabiting contaminated ponds. The present study concludes that the water quality of all the three ponds have been deteriorated due to contamination of agricultural runoff/leachate and are not suitable for direct human use.

Bio-fertilizer is low cost, renewable sources of plant nutrients which can supplement of chemical fertilizers. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has either reduces or eliminated such essential microbial populations from the agriculture soils. It has thus become necessary to produce such bio-fertilizers at commercial scale and add to the soil. In the present work the author has prepared three types of bio-fertilizers by using different waste materials. Firstly prepared biofertilizer by using kitchen waste, secondly by using biomass (such as rice husk, rice straw, bamboo leaves, soil, and water) and other types of bio-fertilizer is liquid, prepared by using biomass and Molasses. After preparation of above bio-fertilizers, they were used in different field crops such as ladies finger and study the growth and production of crops after an interval of every five day. Performance of crops under there biofertilizers was also studied.

Color present in water itself first contaminant and dyes which are harmful for human is a vast problem. Chitinous waste a problem for environment can be an alternative approach for removal of dyes from water. Nanoparticles made up of chitinous waste are used in this study. Chitosantripolyphosphate (CS-TPP) nanoparticles showed prominent result in removal of reactive blue 19 and reactive blue 198 dyes. Both the dyes were totally (100%) removed by the use of CS-TPP. Statistical analysis though Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Box Behnken Design (BBD) to optimize pH and concentration were also carried out. After optimization it was evaluated that pH 6.5 and higher Chitosan-TPP concentration showed the highest removal of dyes.

A scientific field experiment was conducted during 2017, 2018 and 2019 in kharif season at R.A.R.S, Nandyal, Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University to study Efficacy of Neem coated urea through nitrogen use efficiency methods in Bt cotton. The experiment consisting of seven nitrogen use efficiency treatments with combination of three nitrogen doses viz: No nitrogen, 75% recommended dose of nitrogen, 100% recommended dose of nitrogen, 2 methods of nitrogen application viz: band application and split application and 4 stages of nitrogen top dressing viz: basal, squaring, flowering and boll development stages along with foliar application of 1% urea at squaring, flowering, boll development stage with RBD design and replicated thrice. The results indicated that pooled seed cotton yield (2813 kg/ha), nutrient uptake and cotton economics were higher with spot application 75% recommended dose of nitrogen with 4 split doses of nitrogen along with foliar application of 1% urea at squaring, flowering and boll developmental stage and was on par with spot application of 75% recommended dose of nitrogen with 4 split doses of nitrogen, foliar application of 1% urea at squaring, flowering and boll developmental stage along with incorporation of fodder cowpea before flowering (2681 kg/ ha). Lower seed cotton yield (1637 kg/ ha) was recorded with no nitrogen treatment.

I examine the preventionprinciple- one of the most important principles in international environmental law,in its internal structure and interaction mechanisms. I analyze respectively therequirements of the substantive and procedural obligations of the principle, as well as their connections throughrelevant environmental disputations such as the ‘Pulp Mills’and‘Certain Activities’case and international environmental conventions like the CBD and UNFCC.I conclude that substantive obligations act as guidance, while procedural obligations play an indispensable complementary role. Through the interactions, the prevention principle can thus provide clear instruction for courts tomake decisions inenvironmental pollution cases and for countries to perform their obligations in relevant affairs.

Photocatalytic degradation of pyroxasulfone was carried out in presence of artificial sunlight. Effect of time, sample concentration, catalyst concentration, light intensity and pH was observed on degradation process. Various solvent systems and catalysts were also tried. MgO was found to be the most effective catalyst for degradation of pyroxasulfone, while Methanol: Water (50:50) was found to be the most compatible solvent system for this degradation process. Two degraded products (Degradant-1 and Degradant-2) were isolated and characterized using various analytical techniques. On the basis of experimental findings, a tentative degradation scheme has been proposed.

The study was conducted to assess the conversion potentiality of sugarcane bio-mass into bioenergy through briquetting. Samples of sugarcane bagasse, sugarcane trash and a 50:50 mixture of sugarcane bagasse and trash were used to produce briquettes. An automated briquetting press with a capacity of 150-200 kg/hr was employed to produce cylindrical briquettes of 100 mm length. The quality parameters of briquettes such as moisture content, bulk density, compressive strength, shatter resistance, resistance to water penetration,volatile matter, fixed carbon, and calorific value were determined. Among the various briquettes investigated, briquettes made of bagasse have low ash content (5.32%), high shatter resistance (99.4%), and a high calorific value (15.15 MJ/kg), all of which are desirable characteristics for fuel combustion. However, the briquettes produced from bagasse-trash mixture were statistically on par with the briquettes of bagasse alone. Thus, briquettes produced from bagasse alone and bagasse-trash combination can be recommended for use in boilers in the food processing sector as an eco-friendly biofuel, which in turn helps in curbing environmental pollution. Further, there is a scope for entrepreneurship development by converting sugarcane biomass to briquettes, which would create employment for the rural youth.
