Global warming and climate change are warnings showcasing water crisis. At the same time ever growing population is ultimatum to the food security. In span of such times, world has to be made a sustainable habitat. It is only possible when each ounce of resources is being measured and used judiciously. Maximum responsibility is on farmers and researchers of the world. In times of advanced technologies, Internet of Things (IoT) has surfaced as a saviour. IoT based systems have been stated as success in monitoring and control mechanisms. Thus, this paper was intended to review the control strategies and monitoring systems based on IoT. The literature incorporates basic information as well as recent trends in the field of irrigation management based on IoT.

The presence of arsenic (As) metalloid in groundwater poses serious threat to human and animal’s health. Approx. 300 million people of about 105 countries in the world are affected due to arsenite poisoning. Except mitigation there is no such mode by which the population can be prevented from being exposed to arsenic. Elaeocarpus sphaericus (E. sphaericus) is widely used in the folk medicine system for the treatment of various diseases. Hence, present study aimed to investigate the Bio-remedial Impact of ESSE against As-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Charles foster rats. Male twenty-four rats (weighing 160 ± 20 g) were randomly assigned into two groups, where Group-I (n=6) rats were used as control. Group-II (n=18) rats were treated with sodium arsenite at 8 mg/Kg body weight for 90 days daily and then further divided into three sub-groups. Sub-Group I (n=6); rats were sacrificed and data were collected, Sub-Group II (n=6); rats were left for 60 days for auto recovery (as As-pre-treated group), and Sub-Group II (n=6); rats were administrated with E. sphaericus at 20mg/kg body weight for 60 days. After the completion of entire experimental dose all the control and treatment group were sacrificed to evaluate the various parameters. As-Induced rats had Significant (p<0.0001) alteration in haematological parameters. As-Induced serum levels of urea, uric acid, creatinine and albumin had significant (p<0.0001) alteration. Level of MDA and BUN were significantly (p<0001) increased. However, ESSE administration significantly reduced the adverse effect related to test of nephrological functions, MDA level significantly (p<0.0001) reduced. Dose dependent ESSE administration combat As-Induced toxicity and significantly (P<0.0001) normalise the level of haematological parameters. Hence, the study concluded that E. sphaericus seed might be used as a nutritional supplement to combat the arsenic led toxicity among the exposed population.
地下水中金属砷(As)的存在对人类和动物的健康构成严重威胁。全世界约有 105 个国家的约 3 亿人受到亚砷酸盐中毒的影响。除了采取缓解措施外,没有其他方法可以防止人们接触砷。Elaeocarpus sphaericus(E. sphaericus)在民间医药系统中被广泛用于治疗各种疾病。因此,本研究旨在调查皂荚对查尔斯寄养大鼠砷诱发的肾毒性的生物补救影响。将 24 只雄性大鼠(体重 160 ± 20 克)随机分为两组,其中第一组(n=6)作为对照组。第二组(n=18)大鼠每天用 8 毫克/千克体重的亚砷酸钠治疗 90 天,然后再分成三个亚组。子组 I(n=6):大鼠被处死并收集数据;子组 II(n=6):大鼠被放置 60 天进行自我恢复(作为砷预处理组);子组 II(n=6):大鼠被注射 20 毫克/千克体重的 E. sphaericus 60 天。在完成整个实验剂量后,所有对照组和治疗组均被处死,以评估各种参数。药物诱导组大鼠的血液学参数发生了显著变化(p<0.0001)。诱导组血清中的尿素、尿酸、肌酐和白蛋白水平有显著变化(p<0.0001)。MDA 和 BUN 水平明显升高(p<0001)。然而,服用易瑞沙可明显降低与肾功能测试有关的不良反应,MDA 水平明显降低(p<0.0001)。剂量依赖性 ESSE 给药能对抗 As 诱导的毒性,并能显著(P<0.0001)使血液学参数水平恢复正常。因此,该研究得出结论,辣木籽可用作营养补充剂,以对抗砷对暴露人群的毒性。

The present study is focused to combat the deleterious effect of arsenic toxicity in animal models utilizing medicinal plant extract. The animals (Charles Foster rats) were treated with Sodium arsenite at the dose of 8 mg per kg body weight for 90 days to make arsenic model and upon these arsenic pre-treated rats leaf extract of Calendula officinalis at the dose of 200 mg per kg body weight was administered for 60 days to study the ameliorative effects of this plant extract. The study shows that arsenic induced toxicity caused deleterious effect on the rats at the haematological, biochemical and histopathological levels and there was significant normalisation in the animal at all the respective levels. Hence, it possesses ameliorative properties against arsenic induced toxicity and can be used for therapeutic purpose.

The ubiquitous use of insecticides leads to detrimental effects on non-target organisms due to accidental exposure. Neonicotinoid insecticides are popularly used worldwide for their high affinity for arthropod nicotinic receptors which effectively kill insect pests. Low affinity towards vertebrate nicotinic receptors, make them safer as compared to traditional insecticides. Recent studies demonstrated that neonicotinoid exposure can cause some toxicity in vertebrates including humans. Zebrafish is one of the popular model organisms to study ecotoxicity. This is the first study on adult zebrafish to report the effect of novel neonicotinoid, Clothianidin on mortality, liver antioxidant stress profile, liver function profile and brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Observations were made over two treatment periods, 96 hours, and 21 days, in five groups exposed to varying concentrations of Clothianidin viz. 30mg/L, 50mg/L, 70mg/L, 90mg/L, 110mg/L and a control. Although no mortality was observed, Clothianidin exposure led to increased activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme, lipid peroxidation and decreased catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST). Treated groups also showed increased concentrations of liver enzyme alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and acid phosphatase (ACP). These results indicate that Clothianidin causes disturbances in the hepatic function. A prominent decreasing trend observed in brain AChE shows that Clothianidin inhibits AChE in adult zebrafish. Further investigations on DNA damage and gene expression studies could be conducted to understand the exact mechanism of action of Clothianidin
