Twenty eight F1 hybrids developed from a diallel set involving eight parents (excluding reciprocals) in bottle gourd were evaluated at Horticulture complex, Department of Horticulture JNKVV. Jabalpur (MP). The study was aimed to estimate heterosis for yield and yield contributing traits in bottle gourd. Analysis of variance revealed the presence of considerable variability among parents and hybrids for all the characters under study. Heterosis for fruit yield per vine ranged from -1.27 to 17.33 % over mid parent and 0.61 to -22.74% over better parent. For number of fruits per plant and average fruit weight was ranged from 0.25 to -25.30% and 1.37 to 46.67% over mid parent and -0.17 to -33.44% and 0.00 to 41.94% over better parent, respectively. Regarding fruit length the heterosis ranged from 0.64 to 16.50 over mid parent while heterosis over better parent ranged from -0.51 to -22.85. Heterosis for days to first fruit harvest ranged from 0.00 to -12.02 and 0.00 to -14.51 over mid parent and better parent, respectively. It was important to note that only two F1 hybrids viz. Arka Bahar x Kashi Ganga and Arka Bahar x Pusa Naveen exhibited higher positive and significant values over better parent. While, crosses Arka Bahar x Narendra Dharidar, Kashi Ganga x Narendra Dharidar, Pusa Santushti x PSPL and Arka Bahar x Samrat showed significant negative heterosis over better parent for earliness.

Plant used for traditional medicine contains a wide range of substances that can be helpful to treat chronic as well as infectious diseases. Tagetes erecta L. is an annual herb with family Compositae with natural pigments from its yellow/orange flowers. Tridax procumbens L. commonaly known as coat buttons or tridax daisy belongs to flowering plant species of family asteraceac. The objective of this work is to isolate the terpenoids from the extracts of these plants, and to ascertain the curative properties of terpenoids. A subclass of prenyllipids termed as terpenoids were obtained from these dried plants by extracting essential oil by following the steam distillation method. Thereafter, the terpenoids were isolated from essential oils using organic solvents. The detection was carried out using UV-Vis spectroscopy as peaks were identified at certain wavelengths. The study revealed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, and other bioactive molecules. These phytochemicals may be non nutritive chemical compounds but have many health benefits as well as important properties to prevent or to fight many common diseases. They defend the plants against illness and injuries and supply to the plants quality in terms of color, odor and taste.

Okra or Bhendi is a crucial vegetable farmed in India. The state of Tamil Nadu contains a smaller cultivable area and less okra production. As a result, the investigative study was conducted at Sivapuri, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu to estimate variability metrics such as PCV, GCV, and GA% mean for crop advancement studies. The experiment involved 48 okra genotypes and 12 qualitative variables. In accordance with ANOVA, the mean sum of squares of 48 genotypes was highly significant for all parameters tested. For the twelve studied traits, values of PCV was higher than values of GCV by a little margin, showing the influence of environmental influences on genotypes. High heritability was found in all characters except days to 50% flowering and days to first harvest. High genetic advance % of mean was perceived in all the traits except for days to the 50% flowering, the harvest period and days to first harvest. High heritability combined with high GA was recorded in traits like primary branches per plant, fruit girth, no. of fruits per plant, fruit length, and fruit yield per plant. If genotypes are chosen based on these traits, selection for genetic improvement programs would be highly efficient.

Trees are planted in educational institutions in order to maintain the greenery and to provide an aesthetic view. Along with this they also play a key role in accumulating carbon from the atmosphere. The functioning of trees largely depends on soil conditions too. In the present study we explored to document species diversity, carbon stock density and soil physico-chemical properties of Chauras campus (HNB Garhwal University). The tree biomass and carbon stock were calculated using non-destructive methods and soil properties were assessed in the departmental soil laboratory. A total of 831 individuals belonging to 38 species and 21 families were recorded. A total carbon stock density of 1,1270.78t CO2e was also recorded. The present study analyses species diversity, carbon stock density, soil properties and the presence of vulnerable species in the Chauras campus in accordance with the IUCN Red List.

Energy crisis and environmental pollution are serious problems of sustainable development in the world. The problem is acute in developing economies like India, where there is significant pressure on available natural sources of energy. One of effective approaches to solve these energy problems is developing biomass energy such as biogas and biofuel. Biogas production is a well-established conversion technology i.e., anaerobic digestion, to obtain energy from biomass that is alternative to fossil fuel. Nanotechnology can contribute to the improvement of biogas production through the use of nanocatalysts. These catalysts can enhance bioconversion strategies, facilitate better breakdown of substrates, and optimize output delivery. Generally, nanoparticles can be prepared through a variety of chemical and physical methods, some of which can be expensive and potentially hazardous to the environment. These methods often involve the use of toxic chemicals that pose various biological risks. This may be the reason for the increasing interest in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles through a green route, which avoids the use of toxic chemicals. Such environment friendly processes are gaining momentum. Therefore, in this article, the green synthesized plant derived various metal nanoparticles which can be used for enhancement of biogas production from cattle dung, will be discussed.

The experimental material comprising of 26 genotypes belonging to mid late and late group was evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replications for two consecutive years during winter season of 2018-19 and 2019-20. Data were recorded on marketable curd yield per hectare and its 17 related traits. Sufficient genetic variability was observed for yield and component traits. The perusal of mean values of different genotypes showed wide variation in the performance with respect to marketable curd yield and its contributing traits. This indicates great extent of genetic diversity among genotypes which would provide immense opportunities for genetic improvement of cauliflower. The evaluation of mean performance revealed that DPCa CMS 1 showed advantage of 27% for marketable curd yield over standard check Palam Uphar followed by DPCaf W3, DPCaf US and DPCaf 30 which was mainly due to significant contribution of curd depth, curd diameter, leaf length, leaf width, optimum plant frame, curd compactness/solidity, gross and net plant weight.

Altogether 35 species, belonging to 34 genera and 21 families, were recorded from a peri-urban park of Assam, India. Average diameter at breast height (DBH) of the trees in the park was 27.67±3.73 cm and average density of the trees in the park was 380 stem ha-1. The wood specific gravity (WSG) of Psidium guajava (0.98 g cm-3) was highest and Alstonia scholaris (0.39g cm-3) had the least among the trees in the park. Total above ground biomass (AGB) and total below ground biomass (BGB) of the trees in the park were 369.74 Mg ha-1 and 96.13 Mg ha-1 respectively. The total biomass (TB) and total Carbon stock (TCS) of the trees in the park were 465.87 Mg ha-1 and 232.93 Mg C ha-1 respectively. The CO2 equivalent (CO2 eqv) of the trees in the park was 852.54 Mg ha-1. The park in addition to provide recreation and social gathering space to the people living in the area also functions as embankment to provide flood protection. It acts as home to wildlife particularly birds and small mammals too. Further, it provides ecosystem services such as reducing runoff of rainwater and soil erosion; aesthetic beauty, purified air, filtered noise. On top of all, the trees in the park also counter balance Carbon emissions through Carbon storage and sequestration. Therefore, setting up and management of park even in rural and peri-urban areas can deliver a considerable element to climate change mitigation strategies.

In the present investigation wheat seed samples were collected from farmers of Bihar and mycoflora associated with wheat seed samples were isolated by standard blotter paper and towel paper methods. Mycoflora i.e. Bipolaris sorokiniana, Fusarium moniliforme, Alternaria triticina, Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. were isolated from wheat seed samples. Different essential oils (Citronella, Eucalyptus, Lemon grass, Clove and Neem oil) were tested in-vitro against isolated pathogens from farmers saved wheat seed samples at different concentrations i.e. 100 ppm, 200 ppm and 300 ppm by “poisoned food technique”. Lemongrass oil has shown highest percent inhibition of growth (67.74, 67.74 and 68.81%) among different essential oil tested against Bipolaris sorokiniana at all three concentrations 100, 200 and 300 ppm respectively. Neem oil found highest percent inhibition of growth (67.56, 71.17 and 73.87%) among different essential oils tested against Fusarium moniliforme, Aspergillus sp. (60.60, 67.67 and 67.67%) and Penicillium sp. (38.33, 41.66 and 50%) at all three concentrations 100, 200 and 300 ppm respectively. Eucalyptus oil has shown highest percent inhibition of growth (58.33, 64.58 and 68.75%) among different essential oils tested against Alternaria triticina at all three concentrations 100, 200 and 300 ppm respectively.
