Distribution patterns of key gastropod species were studied on a rocky-sandy intertidal zone of Adri coast of Kathiawar peninsula. The studied coast has an ideal habitat for intertidal ecological studies. It has rich marine faunal and floral diversity devoid of any anthropogenic pressure. The present study was focused on distribution pattern of dominating intertidal gastropods species that considered as the most communal inhabitants of the intertidal zone worldwide. The coast has both rocky and sandy intertidal area with rock crevices and small to large pools and puddles. Physico-chemical parameters of seawater and ecological attributes like density, abundance, and frequency of five gastropod species Astralium semicostatum, Cerithium caeruleum, Gyrenium natator, Nerita albicilla and Onchidium verruculatum have been studied. Result indicates that all the species have their distinct preference for intertidal microhabitats like rocks, puddles, crevices and different substrata. The species has different strategies for the selection of microhabitat for their survival particularly in extreme environment of low tide when desiccation is at maximum.

During both seasons, aphid incidence peaked at 38.40 aphids/10cm shoot at the 5th SMW and 40.51 aphids/10cm shoot at the 4th SMW, respectively. While the activity of leafhoppers attained the peak of 14.20 leafhoppers/3 leaves during 7th SMW and 13.20 leafhoppers/3 leaves during 6th SMW during both seasons, respectively. During 2019-20, the whitefly population initiated at 5th WAS and persisted until the 13th WAS (1.44 to 11.28 whiteflies/3 leaves), whereas, in 2020-21, the population began in the 6th WAS and peaked during 12th WAS (12.21 whiteflies/3 leaves). Pod borer population started in 5th WAS and peaked (1.34 larvae/plant) in 10th WAS during 2019-20; in 2020-21, the population peaked (1.12 larvae/plant) during 11th WAS. The ladybird beetle population was active from 6th to 13th WAS and reached a peak (2.86 beetles/plant) during the 10th WAS in 2019-20. During the second season, the population of ladybird beetles started in the 7th WAS and peaked at 2.30 beetles/plant in 10th WAS. The spider appeared on the crop on the 5th WAS and remained active until 14th WAS, with the peak activity (0.34 and 0.30 spider/plant) reported during 6th SMW in both seasons. Significantly negative correlation was seen between evening relative humidity and leafhopper population during both seasons. Other insect-pests (aphid, leafhopper, whitefly and H. armigera) showed non significant impact of weather parameters during both seasons. Whereas, H. armigera larvae had positive correlation with bright sunshine hours and wind velocity during both seasons. Ladybird beetle showed highly significant and positive correlation with aphid, leafhopper and whitefly population during both seasons. Spider showed significant and positive correlation with aphid, leafhopper and whitefly population in both seasons.

In this study, in vitro potential of six selected species of Trichoderma, including Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma virens, Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Trichoderma ressei and Trichoderma asperellum as well as the of two bacterial isolates Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis were evaluated against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi causing wilt of pea. Trichoderma virens recorded maximum percent growth inhibition (81.97%). In volatile compounds percent growth inhibition 86.80 % was recorded highest in Trichoderma harzianum and percent growth inhibition in non-volatile compound will increase as concentration of bioagents increases and 100% growth inhibition was recorded in Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma virens, Trichoderma harzianum and in Trichoderma ressei at 15% concentration.

The present investigation was carried out during kharif season, 2018-2019 on 37 genotypes of ash gourd in Randomized Block Design to study the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advances, correlation and path coefficient. Results revealed high genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) for seediness (44.197 and 44.09), fruit diameter (36.41 and 36.26), average fruits weight (32.308 and 32.27), number of lobes (21.73 and 21.63), peduncle length (25.72 and 25.651), petiole length (22.25 and 22.02), fruit length (25.82 and 25.68), seed width (24.84 and 24.62), number of fruit per plant (21.93 and 21.81), nodes at which first female flower appears (28.54 and 28.48), yield per plant (25.35 and 25.11) and yield per hectare (25.35 and 25.11), respectively. Whereas, high heritability (h2) coupled with genetic advance over mean (GAM) was registered highest in seediness (99.52% and 90.61%) followed by fruit diameter (99.23% and 74.41%), fruit length (98.87% and 52.60%), respectively. Fruit yield per plant showed highly significant positive phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficients with avg fruit weight (0.708 and 0.709), vine length (0.359 and 0.368), fruit diameter (0.304 and 0.307), seed width (0.337 and 0.342), crop duration (0.370 and 0.356) and cotyledon length (0.295 and 0.305), respectively. The highest positive direct effects on fruit yield was exerted by average fruit weight (1.034) followed by number of fruit/plant (0.738) and vine length (0.062) whereas number of lobes (-0.087) shown highest negative direct effect followed by ovary length (-0.062) and cotyledon width (-0.059).

Flood is one of the most popular natural hazards that create havoc in the society. Flood involves inundation of a huge tract of area under water owing to heavy rainfall. Occurrence of flood lays a severe impact upon the agricultural sector. Flood not only brings about destruction of crops but also brings down the productivity of the soil. Malda district of West Bengal is not an exception in this regard. The district is one of the most flood prone districts and involves a lot of loss in crop production. The present study aims to identify the flood susceptible zones of the district through the application of Analytical Hierarchy Process and geospatial techniques and also makes an attempt to detect how much cropland falls within the very high susceptible flood prone area so that proper precautionary measures can be taken to minimize the maximum damage. The study results reveal that the western part of the district is more flood prone and about 55.27% of very high flood prone area is dominated by croplands. Hence, proper flood management techniques have to be adopted in this area to reduce the loss of production of crops owing to floods.
