Keeping in view the low productivity of forestry plantations in Rajasthan and Gujarat, an effort has been initiated to enhance the productivity of bamboo plantations using improved planting material raised either through clonal methods or through tissue culture. These trials have been established at Chakhalia, Jhalod (Gujarat); Kushalgarh (Rajasthan). In total 50 ha area has been covered under these specialty plantations, the bamboo species considered for planting are Dendrocalamus strictus and Bambusa bambos. In these performance trials some experimentation were also laid out to see the effect of soil amelioration using organic and inorganic manures and effect of spacing on the growth and productivity of the bamboo plantations. The spacing used are 5m × 5m and 6m × 6m. The initial establishment's results are quite encouraging in both the states. In Gujarat survival percentage ranges from 97.2 % to 100.0% for both the species whereas in Rajasthan sites it was 67.6% to 96.8% (Kushalgarh). The differences observed in the survival percentage may be due to altitudinal variations as the altitude of Gujarat site is 259 m amsl whereas it was 457.20 m amsl for Rajasthan sites. The overall growth performance of both the species is quite satisfactory. Initial inferences can be drawn from these trials is that bamboos can be introduced in both the states in Agroforestry systems.Keywords

Correlation and path coefficient studies were carried out in 44 clones of Casuarina equisetifolia L. Johnson a,ssembled from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Pondicherry. Genotypic correlations were higher then phenotypic correlations in all the cases. All the traits studied viz. Plant height, collar diameter, number of branches, survival percent, chlorophyll content and suitability index were strongly associated with volume index except needle length which showed low but significant genotypic correlation with volume index. All the traits expressed a positive and significant genotypic inter-correlation among themselves. Path coefficient analysis revealed that suitability index registered the highest direct effect followed by total chlorophyll content and number of branches. Maximum positive indirect effect on volume index was exerted by number of branches through suitability index.- Methodology to Establish Seed Production Area for Improved Seeds in Pinus kesiya

Many forest research organisations have developed high yielding genotypes with concerted research efforts both in the laboratory and field. However, these genotypes have not been tested in field or field oriented conditions. Various tools have been suggested for testing, registering and releasing of genetically improved planting stock in the present article. There should be clone and progeny releasing committees viz. Regional Clone and Progeny Releasing Committee (RCPRC) and National Clone and Progeny Releasing Committee (NCPRC). The RCPRC would have a chairman and five members, whereas NCPRC would have a chairperson and a minimum of eight members. The RCPRC would be headed by a chairperson and will have a minimum of two breeders/geneticists of the regional Institute. Other members would be the nominees of the State Forest Departments, Forest Development Corporations and wood based industries working on tree improvement. The chairperson, NCPRC would be appointed by the DDG (Research), ICFRE, and chairpersons ofRCPRCs would be the members ofNCPRC. Once the superiority of the planting stock is tested, elite entries would be registered and released by the registration committee for commercial multiplication.- A Technique to Transport Cladode Cuttings of Casuarina equisetifolia for Cloning

Indian Forester, Vol 126, No 10 (2000), Pagination: 1025-1029Abstract
India is a high bio-diversity country blessed with a vast array of wild species of flora and fauna. This large bio-diversity has survived for long, the pressures of time so far but new challenges have merged in the new millennium. The greatest challenge is the explosion of human and cattle population exerting, an unacceptable pressure on natural resources, principally fuelwood and fodder, which is poised to undermine all the natural systems and therefore wildlife also. The population explosion places an equally large and growing demand on water resources as well as arable land. Specific threats to conservation of wildlife come from habitat destruction, man-animal conflict and organised trade in products of wild species. Amelioration strategies which have worked so far, need a substantial change in strategy. The solution finally lies in the political will and a translation of that into new institutional mechanisms. It is not yet too late for that to happen but each passing day of inaction compounds the problem.- Potential of Frankia in Enhancing the Yield of Casuarinas

Casuarinas, the non-leguminous plants of tropics, with their rapid growth and nitrogen-fixing ability are the most suited for planting on nitrogen-deficit soils. Knowledge of host-Frankia association needs to be improved to increase the productivity of the Casuarinas. The research efforts should be geared towards increasing the nitrogen-fixation potential of plants and actual nitrogen fixation in field. To achieve this, superior biotypes need to be selected and tested at various locations with references to high ANF capacities. The selected biotypes can be propagated through conventional and non-conventional methods. Yield of superior biotypes can further be improved by the introduction of effective Frankia strains which have tolerance to drought and salt.- Survey of Stem Wilt Disease of Casuarina Equisetifolia Forst.

Gmelina arborea (Roxb.) has gained widespread acceptance as a plantation species worldwide due to its rapid growth and multiplicity of uses in pulp and fiber production, besides an excellent saw timber has number of promising attributes. The strategy for addressing a major drawback for its susceptibility to Craspedonta leayana (Latreille) in native areas has been discussed. This includes mass multiplication and application of parasitoid Brachymeria excarinata, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhzium anisopliae. The screening of resistant germplasm for Craspedonta leayana was found to be an effective long term strategy.- Planting Stock Improvement in Gmelina arborea

The planting stock of Gmelina arborea was improved through 'Technology Mission - Gmelina arborea'. The mission incorporated various techniques of genetics, breeding, clonal propagation, nursery, physiology, phenology, entomology and pathology. A total of 119 plus tree selected from 10 geographical locations were selected and multiplied through clonal means, and established in the vegetative multiplication gardens cum germplasm banks. The passports for plus tree was developed that provided information on different aspects including species, accession, geography, silviculture and technical information. The vegetative propagation protocols both for adult and juvenile materials were standardized using budding, grafting and ischolar_maining of branch cuttings. The clonal and progeny trials were carried out to test the stability, adaptability and growth performance of selected germplasm. The seedling and clonal seed orchards were established in the states of Assam, Manipur and Tripura to meet immediate supply of the improved seed. Various clones were screened for resistance against Craspedonta leayana which is a serious defoliator of G. arborea. Eight per cent of the clones exhibited higher resistance while 26 per cent of the clones showed moderate resistance. The seed treatment with fungicide Captaf was found to be most effective in managing seed and seedling fungal pathogens- New Record of a Polyporale from Himachal Pradesh

Acacia catechu is a very important and preferred tree species in afforestation programmes in the lower sub-tropical zone of Himachal Pradesh. It is valued for its heartwood, which is used for extracting katha and cutch, ingredients of a number of Ayurvedic and Unani medicines. It suffers serious disease problem in the form of ischolar_main rot by Ganoderma lucidum causing great economic losses. Present paper discusses incidence of Ganoderma ischolar_main rot disease in a khair plantation in lower Siwaliks of Himachal Pradesh. 4.45 per cent tree mortality was recorded which indicated towards an alarming situation. The trees are showing early symptoms of discoloured foliage, trees with stag horn branches and gaps in lines due to removal of dead trees. The inoculum builds up very fast in the area where the sporophores were seen on dead trees, stumps and wood chips in the infected area. Incidence of drying and wilting was more severe in the cultivated portion than the unmanaged part of the land.- Tree and Shrub Diversity in Degraded Hills of Bar-conglomerate Formation of Pali District of Rajasthan

Study on vegetation diversity in degraded hills of Bar conglomerate formation in Pali district of Rajasthan reveals the occurrence of 10 trees, 7 shrubs and 4 undershrubs/herbs with an average population of 16.9 tree, 116.8 shrubs and 4.8 herbs per plot. P. juliflora showed the highest population followed by Z. mauritiana. Frequency of occurrence, density and abundance were also highest for the P. juliflora. Species richness was the highest for tree and lowest for the shrubs, but Shanon-Weiner index was highest for shrubs. Population of shrubs was relatively more even as compared to the tree or undershrub/herb species. Importance value index was highest for P. juliflora among tree and Euphorbia caducifolia among the shrubs indicating a change of forest types from Tropical Euphorbia Scrub to Tropical Prosopis juliflora scrub.Keywords

At the Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding, Coimbatore, pioneering work was carried out by establishing the clone bank, comprising 55 clonal selections, of Casuarina equisetifolia. Of these, 42 clones were planted for the evaluation in completely randomised design at the clonal testing area (CTA) of the Institute. The data recorded at 12 months of age for plant height, diameter at ground level (DGL), diameter at breast height (DBH) and mean bole volume (MBV) showed significant genetic variation among the clones. The broad sense heritability and genetic advance was calculated for all the parameters recorded. Co-heritability values for six combinations of traits was worked out, and are presented. The results on interim assessments of clonal performance suggest large yield improvement possibilities in this species.- Effect of Frankia on Growth and Nodulation in Casuarina equisetifolia

The effect of symbiotic association of three Frankia strains on growth, biomass and nodulation was studied on 10 clones of Casuarinaequisetifolia in a nursery experiment. Significant improvement was observed after 90 days of inoculation with all the Frankia strains. Of them, ORS 020607 was found to be the most effective strain on all the characters studied except ischolar_main length. The most promising association was recorded between strain ORS 020607 and Casuarina clone CHCE890903. Frankia inoculated clones recorded 93, 51 and 116 per cent improvement in shoot length and dry matter production, respectively at 90 days after inoculation.- Effect of Forest Species on the Productivity of Groundstorey Crops

The investigation was carried out at CSWCRTI, Research Farm, Selakui, Dehra Dun to see the productivity of groundstorey crops with different tree species. The cropping sequence (jowar-toria) was tested wi th three plantations i.e. Eucalyptus hybrid, Bombax ceiba and mixed plantations (natural) of Cassia jistula, Bombax ceiba, Acacia catechu, Lannea coromandalica and Dalbergia sissoo. It was observed that about 14.89, 12.79 and 12.14 tlha green fodder yield of jowar can be obtained with Bombax ceiba, Eucalyptus hybrid and mixed plantations, respectively. The trend was same with toria and seed yield recorded were 3.68, 2.78 and 2.38 q/ha under Bombax ceiba, Eucalyptus hybrid and mixed plantations, respectively. The yield of both the crops increases with increasiug distance from the tree trunk, however the direction did not influence the yield of groundstorey crops.- Path Coefficient Studies on Morphological Traits in Casuarina equisetifolia

The tree improvement programme of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. was started by selecting about 300 plus trees from the distribution range by adopting index method of selection. The selected plus trees were cloned through ischolar_main suckers and single nodal cuttings ischolar_mained both in mist and mist-less chamber. Genetic diversity of further selected forty nine clones was tested through DNA based molecular marker. A total of thirty decamer random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers initially screened which were later reduced to ten most informative primers for the evaluation of level of genetic diversity. The primers generated 129 reproducible RAPD bands with fragments ranging from 200 to 1300 base pairs, of which 110 were polymorphic. The polymorphic information content (PIC) among the clones varied from 0.154 (M-33) to 0.258 (M-122) to witness that RAPD primers detected genetic diversity among the clones. The highest polymorphism (93.33 %) was reported with primer OPAG-16 and the lowest (63.63 %) with primer OPAF-16. Nonetheless, the average polymorphism with ten primers was calculated to 84.93 %. The studies would play a complementary role in hybridization, when selection of most divergent parents becomes supreme importance to harness maximum heterosis in the shortest possible time.Keywords

A real time disaster prevention countermeasure against earthquake strong motion is Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) System. The main framework for EEW implementation is to estimate the earthquake size by different observed parameters measured on the signal onsets. Size of an earthquake depends on the initial rupture process that takes place at the source. In this study Brune's model contributed for the physical process of earthquake generation has been used to fit in the acceleration and displacement source spectra of the strong motion record in a selected window length to estimate the size ofan earthquake in real time. The spectral parameters: 90 (displacement amplitude at low frequency), f; (comer frequency) and fjm (high cut-off frequency)_ estimated from the fitted model have been used to compute the seismic moment. Some 1726 strong motion records of 106 earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 5 to 7.2 and epicentral distance less than and equal to 60 km in different parts of Japan have been analyzed. An attempt is made to empirically estimate the minimum time required to quantify the magnitude. The analytic result shows that a time window of 5 sec provides a good estimate of the magnitude with a standard deviation of 0.3 making it feasible to be used in EEW.Keywords

Rock types, soil profile and nutrient status and the vegetation study was carried out in degraded area of Aravalli selecting five villages along the hill in a stretch of about 40 km. Calc amphibolite gneiss, quartzitic schist, granitic gneiss, calc schist, garnetiferous mica schist, bar conglomerate schist and pegmatite were the dominant rock types in the area. Under the process of weathering these rocks provided sandy to sandy loam soils. The rainfall and wind facilitated erosion and the soil transported and deposited in the pediment area resulted in an increased soil depth. Desertification also occurred at some places. Degradation pattern shows less availability of vegetation cover and needs to rehabilitate these hills. In deeper soil layers, increased soil pH was associated with sensitive sandy soils which might be responsible for basic characters of these soils. The soil content and depth increased with different rocks VIZ: calc amphibolites gneissKeywords

Dalbergia sissoo (Shisham) is an important tree species for production of quality timber. The genetic diversity of shisham is very low; which has perhaps resulted in increased infestation by diseases and insect-pest attack. The species is eclipsed with one of the most important disease called dieback wilt caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. dalbergiae. The biotic and abiotic factors help in the spreading of diseases in the plantation trials of shisham. In the plantation trial at Hoshiyarpur (Punjab) the dieback wilt causes the tremendous damage to standing trees of shisham. Mortality was found highest (7.65%) for the experimental trials of shisham that includes a total of 49 clones and rametes. The disease was spreading rapidly and affecting the other healthy plantation of the trials. The serious preventive management efforts and mitigation measures are required to protect the shisham trials.Keywords

The drying characteristics of ginger slices were investigated in an experimental microwave dryer and modeled at 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 kW power levels. The entire drying process took place in the falling rate period. The effective moisture diffusivity values ranged from 2.5356 × 10-11 to 1.2678 × 10-9 m2/s within the power levels (1.0 to 2.5 kW) studied. Exponential, Page, Henderson and Pabis, Logarithmic and Power law models were applied and validated on the basis of determination of coefficient (R2), reduced mean square (χ2) of the deviation, mean bias error (EMB) and ischolar_main mean square error (ERMS) between the observed and predicted values of moisture ratios. Page model was found to fit best, representing an excellent tool for estimation of the drying time and the values of R2, χ², ERMS and EMB were in the ranged of 0.995 to 0.997; 0.0006 to 0.005; 0.022 to 0.038 and 0.005 to 0.009, respectively.Keywords

Cumin is an important seed spice crop of India. Alternaria blight is one of the most important limiting factors for production of cumin. The studies were conducted on the management of Alternaria blight of cumin in Rajasthan. On the basis of in vitro studies, the isolates exhibited variable sensitivity to fungicides. Mancozeb completely inhibited the mycelial growth of the isolate Ab03, while the other isolates were less sensitive to mancozeb. Tebuconazole completely inhibited the mycelial growth of all the five isolates of A. burnsii, followed by azoxystorbin, carbendazim and mancozeb. Neem formulations Azadirachtin was also found effective in vitro. Under pot culture, combination of tebuconazole and Azadirachtin was found most effective when applied as mixed foliar spray. The application of fungicide and botanical resulted in significantly greater disease control, over their individual applications as well as over untreated controlKeywords

This paper reports the development of a model to meet challenges in geochange research and management activities. This model is an extended framework that will work to achieve integrated use of environmental data like desertification, land degradation, deforestation etc to extreme events such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, or tsunamis, especially when information from different sources is heavily heterogeneous and even contradicting. It utilizes the technique of web mining, text mining, data mining, combined mining and human experience knowledge with opinion mining for creating a knowledge base of geochange featured with outsourcing and localization. All knowledge from each part is warehoused, mined and managed in knowledge base through a knowledge management platform [12]. Developed model provides an interface to the user to retrieve knowledge; send feedback on the basis of actions suggested to cause mining and other features of framework. The first part of the paper covers work [15] related to integration of information that has been done to achieve integrated use of information available on web, especially when information from different sources is heavily heterogeneous.

Athletes participating in sports experience different levels of stress from competitive sports. For most young athletes (generally 13 to 24 years old, i.e., high-school and college age group) sport participation is reported to be no more stressful than many other activities of daily student or work life in general where competition is involved and performance is measured. Some level of sport related performance anxiety is considered to be normal and healthy; however, extreme anxiety in athletes can be detrimental in these performance situations. A number of factors may contribute to the development, severity, and persistence of performance anxiety related to sport participation. The current study examined anxiety and adjustment among individual and team goal players across their level of performance.Keywords

Fifty four progenies of Melia azedarach (Linn.) from eleven geographical locations were evaluated for leaf senescence, fruit characters and wood specific gravity. Large variations were recorded for leaf senescence period ranged from 35 to 119 days per year in 8-year-old progeny trial, however, few progenies remained semi-evergreen. Between progeny and within progeny differences were found significant. The narrow sense heritability (progeny basis, within progeny basis and individual plant basis) was calculated for all the characters. High heritabilities were recorded for fruit characters and specific gravity. Fruit characters have high genetic gain, whereas, specific gravity has low genetic gain. Genetic gain for within family selection was higher than family selection for all traits.Keywords

The reclamation of wasteland and development measures in general includes land clearing, soil and water conservation, enhancing nutrient status, provision of irrigation facilities and so on. However, the existing status of wastelands shows wide variation across different regions of the country in terms of their suitability for cultivation. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a scientific assessment of the existing status; fertility, erosion levels, soil conditions, water potential, suitable cropping system, etc. of the waste lands spread over different agro-climatic zones of the state so as to prepare a realistic reclamation-cum-development plan for the wastelands. Thus rehabilitation of the wasteland through the sustainable management serves as a better cover to the soil and aids regeneration of forests.Keywords

Spiti - Zanskar Basin of Himalaya exposes rocks ranging in age from Proterozoic to Early Cenozoic. Cambrian trilobites, brachiopods and trace fossils are known from the Kurgiakh area of the basin. The present paper concerns with Early Cambrian trace fossils reported from the same stratigraphic section in which trilobite body fossils are known. The assemblage of trace fossils include: Chondrites sp., Cruziana sp., Rusophycus sp., Phycodes palmatum, sp., Didymaulichnus sp., Protichnites sp., Monomorphicnus monolinearis, Diplichnites sp. associated with scratch marks indicating trilobite movements. The finding of trace fossils far below the definite brachiopod and trilobite body fossil horizons in the Lower Cambrian sequence of Kurgiakh area of Zanskar is of significance.Keywords

Fission Track (m) ages of apatite and zircon from the Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC), SE - Jammu and Kashmiralong Chenab-Suru-Dodarivers and their tributaries provide constraints on the cooling (<250°C) and exhumation history of these rocks. FT ages of apatite/zircon versus the topographic elevations of the host samples from different traverses provide linear relationships, indicating differential and secular nature of exhumation in the Himalaya. The HHC belt is exhumedat a rate of about 0.27 mm/a during Middle to Late Miocene. However, regional exhumation rate near the base along the Main Central Thrust and in central parts of the HHC from FT apatite ages is faster upto 0.35 mm/a since Late Miocene. Exhumation has considerably slowed down to 0.11 mm/a along its northern boundary and 0.02 mm/a along the Zanskar Shear Zone. No apparent faster exhurnationis discernible either along thee MCT or the Zanskar ShearZone (ZSZ). On the other hand, three large fold structures namely the Suru Dome, the Chisoti Dome and the Kishtwaranti formal window have indicated very young and fast exhumation of 0.33 mm/a, 1.1 mm/a and 3.6 mm/a respectively during the last 1 to 5 Ma.Keywords

From the measured surface tension data, surface properties and thermodynamic quantities of micellization, adsorption at the air-liquid interface and transfer from water to mixed solvent (formamide + water) have been determined for the systems : (1) Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate + Formamide + Water; (2) Dodecyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide + Formamide + Water and (3) Triton X-100 + Formamide + Water. The process of micellization in the bulk solution and the adsorption of surfactants at the air-liquid interface are favoured by the enthalpy as well as the entropy effects. The results have been descirbed in terms of the intermolecular interaction of the components in the solutions.Keywords

Human-wildlife conflicts have been in existence as long as wild animals and people shared the same landscape and resources. However, in the past two-three decades the conflicts have increased and become a growing concern for wildlife conservation in India. In this review, a study of current scientific literature addressing concerns for human safety and wildlife conservation have been evaluated to put forth the statements about the frequencies and causes of attacks based on findings concerning, existing data on the number of attacks by wild animals in India and information systems documenting causes and consequences of attacks. Research that provides credible information for wildlife management and advice for reducing the level of an encounter with wild animals and to minimize the livelihood of being attacked has also been documented. Need of a appropriate land use planning, public awareness, sustainable management of wildlife habitat, improving rural livelihood, counterbalance of losses with benefits, addressing public grievances, share and care of natural resources by rural communities, enhancing peaceful coexistence, low impact community-based ecotourism, etc could suitably help in resolving the growing concerns of Human-wildlife conflict in India.Keywords

The present study was carried out to estimate the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in clones of Eucalyptus spp. at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab (India). Significant differences were found among the clones for growth, number of branches and tolerance to gall wasp. The estimates of phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation clearly reflected large amount of variation for volume index and number of galls, and reasonable amount of genetic variability for plant height, collar diameter and number of branches. High heritability with high genetic advance as percentage of mean clearly suggested the potentiality of the clonal material for the improvement of plant height and volume index through selection. Significant positive correlations were recorded for all characters except number of galls. Path analysis revealed that plant height and collar diameter had high and positive direct and indirect effect, whereas, number of branches and number of galls had negative direct and indirect effect on volume index.Keywords

Forty eight clones of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. were subjected to genetic divergence studies using Mahalanobis D2 statistics. The clones were field planted in two geographical locations at Hissar, Haryana (N 29 30°17.7" E 75°33' 14'') and Hoshiarpur, Punjab (N31° 33' 31.7" E 75° 49' 0.5") to analyze different genetic parameters and divergence. At the age of eighteen months, height ranged from 41.17 cm (Clone 94) to 112.52 cm (Clone 5003) and collar diameter ranged from 0.59 cm (Clone 31) to 2.02 cm (Clone 5006). Mean value based on both primary quantitative traits expressed superiority of thirteen clones over the locations. Using Tocher's method 48 genotypes were grouped into nine clusters, whereas Cluster III and VI consists maximum eight clones each. Cluster VIII was reported to be a solo cluster. The maximum D2 value (1.62) was observed between Clone 1003 (Uttarakhand) and Clone 5007 (Uttarakhand). It was therefore obvious that these divergent clones could be planted in seed orchards so that high degree of heterosis could be exhibited. Additionally such clones could possibly play an important role in production of new recombinants with maximum acquisition of traits of economic importance.Keywords

Software reuse is the use of existing software components to build a new software system. Effective storage and retrieval of software components is much essential in software components reuse process. The researchers have developed a number of software components reuse techniques for storage and retrieval of software components. No one technique is complete in its own; every technique has its own merits and demerits. This paper presents a new approach for building software components reuse library based on metadata and MDL file searching for storage and fast retrieval of software components. Metadata are matched with given query, character by character so that a fraction of match can also be given due weight age. If we search the repository on the basis of attributes of metadata file, the search result would be better and thus giving higher precision and recall. The class diagram MDL file format contains valuable information about the structural description and contents of a class, i.e. class name, attributes, behavior, relationships, generalization etc. If we search the repository on the basis of attributes of MDL file descriptions, the search result would be better and thus giving higher precision, as compared to keyword based search. Moreover if we assign some numeric weights to different contents of a class, and arrange the search results in descending order, we would be able to find out the precision of the components in descending order of percentage match. The overall precision and recall of software component retrieval of the proposed system are 95% and 98%. Thus, this approach is suitable for automated real time software component retrieval tool. Hence the role of user to find the best-fit component from the search results would be much easier, efficient and reliable.Keywords

Application of multilevel inverters for higher power purposes in industries has become more popular. This is partly because of high-quality output waveform of multilevel inverters in comparison with two level inverter. In this paper, initially a new topology for sub multilevel inverter is proposed and then series connection of the sub multilevel inverters is proposed as a generalized multilevel inverter. The proposed multilevel inverter uses reduced number of switching devices. The validity of the proposed multilevel inverter is verified with computer simulations using matlab, simulink.Keywords

Due to Power instability in many countries, the need for automatic selection of phase has arised. Most industrial and commercial applications are dependent on power supply and if the process of change is manual, it will lead to a lot of incorrect observation and can also damage the load equipments. So the device or machine may get damaged from human error during the change of phases. Ours is a digital phase selector that can be installed in residential and office premises where single-phase equipments are used. When any of the mains phase lines fails, it automatically selects the available phase line out of three phases lines or backup lines.Keywords

Vaishnodevi Limestone is a distinctive landmark succession in the Jammu Himalaya. Significant biotas have been identified from a well exposed chert outcrop near Bidda and shale near Muttal. The chert biota is dominated by mat forming crustose, coccoid, chroococcacean cyanobacteria that include Eoentophysalis belcherensisand Palaeopleurocapsa wopfnerii. The other coccoid taxa are Myxococcoides grandis, Gloeodiniopsis lamillosa, Eogloeocapsa avzyanica, Sphaerophycus cf., S. medium, Eosynechococccus moorei, E. grantiis, Siphonophycus kestron, S. robustum, Oscillatoriopsis sp., Circumvaginalis elongatus, Archaeoellipsoides major, and A. minor. Stratigraphically this is the oldest biota thus far known from the Vaishnodevi Limestone and is assigned a palaeoproterozoic-Mesoproterozoic age.The Muttal biota is composed of Siphonophycus kestron, S. robustum, Oscillatoriopsis sp., Calyptothrix spp., Eosynechococcus medius, Archaeotrichion contortum, Archaeollipsoides bactriformis, A. grandis, A. obesus, Arctacellularia ellipsoidea, Nostochomorpha prisca, Paleonostocalia irregularia, Leiosphaeridia laminariala, Leiosphaeridia sp., Lophosphaeridum spp., Micrhystridium spp., Sphaerocongregus sp., Obruchevella sp., Chuaria sp., Kildinosphaera sp., Spiromorpha indet. and vase shaped microfossils (VSMs). The Muttal biota is from the topmost shale unit of Vaishnodevi Limestone and is assigned a Neoproterozoic age.
It is concluded that the age of the Vaishnodevi Limestone spans the entire Proterozoic and deposited in a supratidal to intertidal and subtidal environment within a shallow shelf regime.

A thrice replicated field experiment was conducted to study the effect of biocompost and inorganic fertilizers on yield and quality of potato. The experimental results revealed that, highest tuber yield was recorded in 100% NPK followed by 87.5% NPK with the least in control. Application effect of biocompost @ 12 t ha-1 was found to be similar to 50% NPK in respect of potato yield, while the application of inorganic fertilizers above 50% NPK showed superiority in terms of yield over all the doses of biocompost. Among the various treatments of inorganic fertilizers and biocompost, treatment where 100% RDF of NPK was applied proved to be superior to other treatments in terms of growth parameters, tuber yield and macronutrients content. However, micronutrient content in tuber was found higher in the treatments of biocompost application. By comparing the tuber yields obtained in the different treatments at harvesting, it was found that 50% inorganic NPK can be saved with the application of biocompost @ 12 t ha-1. Micronutrients content in soil was buffered to its initial value with the application of different doses of biocompost while declined in case of inorganic fertilization.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during Rabi season of 2005-06 at Crop Research Center of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Modipuram, Meerut. The experiment was aimed to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen scheduling and LCC based nitrogen scheduling in wheat. The experiment comprised of ten treatments was laid out in Randomized Block Design, with three replications. The major treatments were, control (where no nitrogen was applied ), 50 % N in basal+25 % N at CRI + 25 % at tillering stage, 25 % N in basal + 25 % N at CRI + 25 % N at tillering + 25 % N at jointing stage, 37.5 % N in basal + 25 % at CRI + 37.5 % N at tillering stage, 50 % N at CRI + 50 % N at tillering stage, 50 % N at CRI + 25 % N at tillering + 25 % N at jointing stage, 50 N in basal + 25% N at tillering + 25% N at jointing stage, 25% N in basal + 37.5% N at CRI + 37.5 % N at tillering, 25% N in basal + 50% N at CRI + 25% N at tillering stage, and nitrogen applied on LCC (Leaf colour chart) based. In different nitrogen scheduling treatments, LCC based nitrogen scheduling treatment was found most efficient than recommended and other nitrogen scheduling treatments in terms of increased wheat yield and nitrogen use efficiency. Application of 25% N in basal + 50% N at CRI + 25% N at tillering stage was also found superior than other treatments, increased these parameters, but it was inferior to the LCC based nitrogen scheduling treatment. AEN and REN also improved due to LCC based nitrogen application. LCC based nitrogen scheduling practice also reduces the over application of nitrogen which can be susceptible to different losses including leaching, ammonium volatilization and runoff.Keywords

Present experiments were conducted at the research farm of Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during Kharif 1999 and Kharif 2001 to study the influence of nitrogenous fertilizer on the tilth of rice crop by remote sensing technique. Spectral radiance observations of the crop canopy were collected with the Portable Spectroradiometer which scanned from 330 nm to 1100 nm of electromagnetic spectrum range at 5nm interval (band-width). Normalized difference vegetation index was calculated for the both tillage practices, puddle and unpuddled situation at different growth stages for different fertilizer treatment. Fertilized plots were observed to have a higher value of BR than controlled ones throughout the crop growth period, both in puddled and unpuddled treatments. The higher values of band ratio were observed in puddled rice compared to the unpuddled rice irrespective of growth stages and fertilizer application levels. Statistical correlations were developed between NDVI (Normalized difference vegetation index) and RVI (Ratio vegetation index) with LAI (Leaf area index), DM (Dry matter) production and total leaf chlorophyll content. Second order polynomial equations were developed to correlate remotely sensed data with crop biometrics. Polynomial second order equations of 'band ratio' were found to be better fitted than NDVI with crop biometrics.Keywords

Rural tourism is a pure form of rural settings multiple rural phenomenon, like wide and lush green agricultural land, orchids, people seem to be busy in routine activities, colourful muddy houses, wall paintings, herds of cattle, chaupal is centre and meeting point of rural societies where they share and exchange useful information about all most every day. It is a develop to attract urban settlers to showcasing the real hardship of rural life, leisure, creative, ethnic, cultural, fair&festivals, local craftsmanship with changing seasons of the rural area. During their visit to rural site, the local rural communities act as entrepreneurs to facilitate all basis needs& comforts to tourists in order to generate extra income. These rural sites have been emerged as an important rural tourist destination which is full culture and tradition, arts and crafts, dances and music, events and delicious cuisines etc. The model of rural tourism has design to support local economy to make alternate livelihood for communities and various stake holders and create image through branding rural destination. India has agrarian economy where more than 70 per cent people attached with agricultural and allied activities for their livelihood. In India there is a big prospect for the growth of rural tourism, which will be able to increase the country's inclusive economic growth. Rural tourism creates huge opportunities for youths and women as rural entrepreneurs and generate employment opportunities. In India every one million invested in tourism sector creates 47.5 jobs directly and 85jobs indirectly. The government, belatedly, has realized what the rural India can offer to the world. According to Tenth Five Year Plan ,'tourism as one of the major sources for generating employment and promoting sustainable livelihoods'. The Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, in collaboration with United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has launched the indigenous rural tourism projects linked to the existing rural tourism scheme of the government. Rural tourism is helpful to develop rural socio-economic and environmental sustainability though capacity building among rural communities, pro-active NGOs, public-private-community based partnership etc. In this way rural tourism is able to boost up Indian inclusive economic growth. This paper aims to study the rural tourism and sustainability, dimensions of rural tourism in Meghalaya, such as rural sustainability, rural sustainable tourism, rural entrepreneurship, role of local governance, capacity building programme by tourism departments, community participation towards rural tourism promotion, with special reference to IBDLP initiative to develop Chandigre Rural Tourism Project of Garo Hills District of Meghalaya.Keywords

Convolvulus arvensis and Thymus capitatus are the useful plants used in traditional system of medicines for the treatment of various diseases. The present study was conducted to examine preliminary phytochemical screening of aqueous and ethanlolic leaves extracts and antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts of both plants. The qualitative phytochemical studies of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the plants leaves were carried out using standard testing procedures for metabolites viz. tannins, saponins, phlobatanins, flavonoids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides and alkaloids The aqueous extract of Convolvulus arvensis showed the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids and cardiac glycosides metabolites while the ethanolic extract exhibited the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides and alkaloids metabolites. However, the aqueous extract of Thymus capitatus showed the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids and terpenoids metabolites and the ethanolic extract exhibited the presence of tannins, saponins, phlobatanins, flavonoids, terpenoids and cardiac glycosides metabolites. The antibacterial activity of ethanolic leaves extract of both plants was tested using Gram positive bacterial strains (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus) and Gram negative bacterial strains (Proteus vulgaris, Eschericia coli, Citrobactor freundii). In general, the extracts of both plants exhibited considerable activity on the bacterial species. Both plants extracts selectively inhibited the growth of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria with zones of inhibition ranging from 8 mm to 11 mm at concentrations of 50 mg/ml. It can be concluded that the activity showed by the ethanolic extract of the plants is as a result of the phytochemicals present in both plants and these plants seems to be good candidates for further phytochemicals studies in an attempt to find new chemical entities combating resistant bacteria.Keywords

Globally more than 1.3 million people die of the tuberculosis every year. Nearly one third of the world's population is infected with TB Bacilli; approximately 10% of them have a life time risk of developing tuberculosis disease. Thus the descriptive study was thus undertaken with the objectives to assess and compare the knowledge, attitude regarding pulmonary tuberculosis of pulmonary tuberculosis patients under intensive and continuation phase, to determine the compliance of pulmonary tuberculosis patients to anti tuberculosis treatment (ATT).
The research design selected for this study was descriptive-co relational survey design. The study was conducted at selected DOTS centre of district Ambala, Haryana, India. A total of 67 samples were selected purposively for the study - 32 patients receiving ATT under intensive phase and 35 patients receiving ATT under continuation phase. The tool used for data collection was a structured knowledge questionnaire, an attitude scale and Performa to assess Compliance rate.
From the study findings, it was found that the pulmonary tuberculosis patients in both the phases had poor knowledge regarding pulmonary tuberculosis and ATT, moderately favorable attitude and had 100% compliance rate. There was markedly positive correlation between knowledge and attitude of patients under both phases of treatment. The knowledge of the tuberculosis patients under intensive phase was dependent on education whereas it was gender among the patients under continuation phase.

To prevent video from unauthorized access and fabrication, the video should be encrypted before sending them on the unsecure network. Traditional method of encryption like AES, DES are not suitable for heavy multimedia objects like videos of conferences etc. due to their high computational complexity and restricted size of the key. We propose a methodology of selective encryption of video using keys generated by harmony search a meta-heuristic artificial intelligence technique. We perform selective encryption to reduce encryption time and encrypt on potential confidential information. We compared the efficiency of the algorithm using entropy and found that proposed technique is suitable for video encryption.

Investigation were carried out to scrutinize the effect of different neem based pesticides, viz., Neemazal, Bioneem, Neemgold, Nimbicidine and Achook on germination of cabbage seeds at different concentrations. The effectiveness of the experimental pesticides in respect of seed germination could be arranged in following descending order. Nimbicidine > Bioneem > Neemgold > Neemazal > Achook As regard the phytotoxic effect of neem-based pesticides due to seed treatment, it was found that no such symptom like chlorosis, yellowing, curling or burning of the leaves or other plant parts appeared. This clearly demonstrates that the tested neem based pesticides can safely be used for treating seeds of these crops except Achook.Keywords

Increases income, reduces risk and promotes sustainability. Mushroom is one of the supplementary enterprises which fits well in diversification. A study was carried out in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. Out of 60 mushroom growers, 80 per cent raised only one crop of button mushroom in a year and most of the growers placed spawned compost bags in the month of October. The fixed cost of production / 100 bags of button mushroom varied from 44.47 per cent on small farms to 22.42 per cent on large farms. The variable cost varied from 55.53 per cent on small farms to 77.58 per cent on large farms implying the economical use of fixed and variable resources by large growers. The gross returns per 100 bags basis ranged between Rs. 37,200 and Rs. 40,200 on small and large farms for button mushroom. The overall benefitcost ratio was 1.87:1. Break-even output varied from 279 kg to 147 kg for small and large growers and break-even point was at 93 and 42 compost bags for small and large growers respectively. Technological gap included the important parameters like temperature, relative humidity, CO concentration, surface cleaning by formalin , storage temperature etc. The mushrooms growers faced production, marketing, 2 financial and institutional problems. However, the intensity of the production problems was much higher than others.Keywords

India is having the largest livestock population of 520 million heads, which is about 15% of world livestock population. The productivity of animals depends upon availability of nutritious and adequate feed and fodders. Due to day by day increase in the cost of concentrate feed, it is not affordable to the farmers to purchase such feed and therefore generally feed the animals on available low quality green and dry fodder.References

Food security for a country meant sufficient quantity of essential commodities produced, stored properly and made available to all of the people at all times, especially the under privileged sections. The most important medium through which government ensures food security at micro level is the public distribution system (PDS). Indeed, India's PDS is the world's largest social safety net for food. It operates on the basis of extensive procurement of food grains by the Food Corporation of India on minimum support price terms determined by the Agricultural Prices Commission. Procured product is then distributed through an elaborate national network of Fair Price Shops which sell food grains to poor populations at highly subsidized prices. This has the effect of simultaneously supporting, stabilizing and subsidizing farm incomes for food grain production in a small number of net exporting states Punjab, Haryana, and Andhra Pradesh generating a net welfare benefit to poor consumers in other parts of the country, who are able to obtain food grains at below-market price. However, in the 1990s, two major changes were introduced to the PDS, these were: The Revised PDS (RPDS) and the Targeted PDS (TPDS). A two-tier card system was introduced in order to represent a distinction between above and below poverty line cardholders. Each household was allocated to one of the following three categories and was accordingly given a PDS card which specified their entitlements for food grain subsidies. These categories were 'Above Poverty Line' (APL), 'Below Poverty Line' (BPL) and 'Antodaya Anna Yojana' (AAY) cards. This paper tries to to analyse the food security condition of the country during the last few decades and the working of PDS with some macro measures. But in India, the working PDS and government policies have not been successful in achieving food security at the desired level. There is a need for certain reforms in procurement and distribution for better functioning of PDS, i.e., decentralization of procurement and distribution, involving panchayats in PDS.Keywords

Extension is one of the three major mandates of the CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar along with research and teaching. Krishi melas are major extension tool in transferring latest technologies to farming community for their overall welfare. It is gaining momentum over the years. A large amount of money and manpower has been involved in organizing this extension activity by the University twice every year (Rabi & Kharif). The study was conducted during Krishi melas (Rabi & Kharif) organized by Directorate of Extension Education, CCSHAU, Hisar at university campus during the year 2015-16. Randomly selected farmers (200 farmers) from the Krishi Melas were interview with the help of a well-structured interview schedule. About 17.5 per cent and 33 per cent of the respondents were fully satisfied and satisfied, respectively. Majority of the respondents (57.5 per cent) were willing to attend the next Krishi Melas. Most of the farmers suggested that latest high yielding varieties (HYV) of seeds should be available (61.50 per cent) and buzz session should be well planned with more duration (51 per cent). Many valuable suggestions were suggested by the farmers to enhance the utility of these melas as extension tool.Keywords

Synchrotron users in Indus-2 require stable photon beams for performing various scientific experiments. At the source points of the photons, typical requirement of the beam position stability is ≤ 10 % of the r.m.s size of the electron beam. This stability requirement demands correction of beam orbit disturbances in the range from DC to 100 Hz. The existing slow corrector magnets in Indus-2 are used for correction of very slow disturbances e.g. thermal drift. Therefore a separate set of combined function corrector magnets of high bandwidth were developed for correction of short term perturbations (from low to high frequency up to 100 Hz). These fast corrector magnets have relatively weak kick strengths of ≥ ± 50 μrad at 15 A DC. The magnetic measurements show no appreciable attenuation in the field strength of these magnets up to 200 Hz. The design, development of the fast corrector magnets and the results achieved by using them in the fast orbit feedback system of Indus-2 will be discussed in this paper.Keywords

Millions of people travel across the globe every day exploring, sharing and most of all understand each other's culture. Tourism development is affecting communities around the world. Agricultural land is being bulldozed to make way for hotels. Many destinations of Kumaun region are under assault as number of tourist rises exponentially every year. The result damages the sites, overcrowding, over development, pollution, threats to wildlife, erosion of culture and environment. Responsible Tourism "RT" is a new wave of Travel that protects the natural and cultural heritage of a place and benefits the local communities. In this research three of aspects of RT are analyzed, namely environmental, social and economic responsibility.The present study is descriptive study. The survey method was employed for collecting data. The analysis of data reveals that there is a lot of scope to educate tourist regarding responsible tourism behaviour whenever they visit the destinations.

The design of MAP requires thorough understanding of characteristics and effects of packaging material on fresh produce during storage.Film permeability declines with reduction in temperature of different films (LDPE, HDPE and PP). The rates of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide evolution increases with rise in temperature (5, 10 and 15°C). The O2 and CO2 permeability per unit thickness increased as temperature increased. All the films had lower permeabilities than required. So 10, 15 and 20 perforations were made in the film of highest permeability i.e. LDPE was selected for packaging of chillies under modified atmosphere packaging.Keywords

Green revolution has changed the scenario of Indian agriculture from food scarcity towards food security. As per recent statistics our food gain production has reached to 252.67 MT (Directorate of Economics and Statistics, 2014-15), but the productivity of the major staple food crops viz., Rice and wheat remained low. Rice and wheat are major staple food crops of large masses which decide the picture of food sufficiency at national as well as at global level. But due to impact of green revolution and ill effects of global warming, the productivity of these two crops has declined at alarming rate especially in Indo-Gangetic plains. It is due to overexploitation of natural resources particularly water, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides leads to deterioration of physical condition of soil. These result into yield stagnation causing concern about the future potential for productivity and sustainability. Thus the major challenges before us to innovate appropriate technologies to produce more food from diminished land and water resources for the burgeoning population pressure and to improve as well as conserve natural resources wisely.References

Crop residues burning is an important source of environmental pollution and therefore, a great cause of concerns for the scientists, researchers, policy planners, social activists and the governments. The rising level of crop residue surplus on account of higher crop biomass production, poses a great challenge before us for its effective and efficient management. The suitable strategies needs to be devised for its on-farm utilization, which inter alia includes proper incorporation and decomposition in-situ so as to supply organic matter for improving the soil physico-chemical and biological properties. The increase in soil fertility by organic sources helps in reducing the environmental pollution, caused due to heavy use of chemical fertilizers. The crop residue management not only reduces the environmental hazards caused due to its burning but also saves a huge amount of money sent by the farmers on fertilizers and other chemical amendments. In totality crop residues management ensures the overall benefits for the society at large besides its favourable effects on environmental and agricultural health and food production.References

Indian agriculture is largely a mixed farming economy, wherein agriculture is practiced along with livestock. Among the livestock goat rearing is most common in small and marginal farmers. Goats can adapt themselves in almost all types of agro-climatic conditions arid western part of Rajasthan. It requires less space and maintenance and is mainly a browser on leaf and twigs of certain tress species grown in arid and semi-arid areas of Rajasthan. Khejri is one of most preferred tree species used as a fodder for goat because it provides nutritious fodder during acute shortage of green forage. Inclusion of Khejri in feeding will reduce the cost on feed and make the goat rearing a more profitable option. Beside fodder values Khejri also acts as shelter and protector of the goats, therefore, it can rightly be said about Khejri that it is a boon for goat rearing in arid and semi-arid regions of Rajasthan.- Multigraded Betti Numbers of Multipermutohedron Ideals

Abstract Views :66 |
PDF Views:0
Materials and Methods: A total of 660 female genitalia were examined for pathological conditions (macroscopic and microscopic lesions). The etiopathological study was carried out for the presence of pathogenic organisms such as Brucella, Chlamydia, and Campylobacter in the uterus and ovary. Based on the microscopic lesions, suspected samples were subjected to diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for various etiological agents employing 16srRNA genus specific primers for Campylobacter and Chlamydophila and OMP31 gene-based PCR for Brucella melitensis and nested PCR using ITS-1 gene primers for Toxoplasma gondii. For Brucella suspected samples, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was also performed.
Results: In studied female genitalia, 108 (16.30%) showed gross abnormalities with overall 23.32% occurrence of pathological conditions (macroscopic and microscopic lesions). Pathological involvement of the uterus was the highest 68 (62.96%), followed by the ovaries 27 (25%) and other organs. Major uterine condition observed was endometritis (5.60%). In uterine infections, 35 (5.30%) samples were found positive for Campylobacter spp., 12 (1.81%) samples for B. melitensis, and 3 (0.45%) samples were positive for Chlamydophila spp. Among the samples positive for B. melitensis by PCR, 3 were found positive by IHC also. Corynebacterium ovis was detected by PCR using specific primers in a case of hydrosalpinx. It was concluded that many pathological lesions in female genitalia of functional significance play a major role in infertility in goats.
Conclusion: The present study concluded that many pathological lesions in female genitalia of functional significance play a major role in infertility in goats.

In the pulse echo method of ultrasonic non-destructive testing, the signal reflected from opposite face is studied. An analysis of this signal reveals important information about the characteristics of the material through which ultrasonic waves have propagated. Any change in a material characteristic will change signal parameters to varying extent. However, signal parameters can also get affected by the conditions of couplant used between the transducer and material. In the present paper, effects of coupling conditions on signal (echo) parameters have been studied. A detailed analysis is given on various echo parameters such as peak frequency, amplitude, their ratios, etc. for first and second back wall echoes.Full Text

The effect of roughness on pressure drop and heat transfer in circular tubes has been extensively studied in literature. The pioneering work of Nikuradse (1933) established the sand grain roughness as a major parameter in defining the friction factor during laminar and turbulent flows. Recent studies have indicated a transition to turbulent flows at Reynolds number values much below 2300 during single-phase flow in channels with small hydraulic diameters. In the present work, a detailed experimental study is undertaken to investigate the roughness effects in small diameter tubes. The roughness of the inside tube surface is changed by etching it with an acid solution.Keywords

Cancer is not a single disease but a group of complex genetic diseases of aged cells. Chemoprevention of cancer is the attempt to use natural and synthetic compounds to intervene in the early stages of cancer, before invasive disease begins. Consuming a diet rich in plant foods can provide a milieu of phytochemicals and non-nutritive plant substances that possess health-protective effects. Some phytochemicals derived in spices and herbs as well as other plants possess substantial cancer preventive properties. Thus the cancer chemo preventive potential of naturally occurring phytochemicals is of great interest because of their preventive role and as they are not perceived as “medicine”. During the course of present study Trigonella foenum graecum (L.) seed- TFGS (commonly called fenugreek) extract was given at pre-initiational, post-initiational, promotional and throughout the experiment along with 7,12-dimethylbenz [a] anthracene DMBA and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate TPA treatment in Swiss albino mice. A significant reduction of papillomas in DMBA + TPA + TFGS (400 mg/kg. body wt.) treated group was found to be effective in decreasing the rate of tumor incidence in comparison to control. Furthermore, cumulative number of papillomas, tumor yield and tumor burden were also found to be reduced. The TFGS extract treatment before DMBA and TPA application (i.e. Pre initiation) were more effective than that of treatment during, and /or after DMBA treatment, however TFGS extract treatment was most effective when treated throughout all the stages of tumorigenesis. The TFGS treatment also showed a modulatory influence on mouse hepatic antioxidant defense system (GSH and LPO level).Keywords

The yield of wheat ranged from 29.16 to 45.14 and 29.56 to 49.14 q ha-1 during 2005-06 and 2006-07, respectively was influenced significantly by different treatments. During 2005-06 maximum grain yield (45.14 q ha-1) was recorded in case of treatment T10 (3 tonnes vermicompost + 100% NPK of RDF), where 100% NPK with vermicompost @ 3.0 t ha-1 was applied, was found statistically at par with treatment T7 (3 tonnes vermicompost +75% NPK of RDF), where vermicompost @ 3.0 t ha-1 was applied with 75% NPK and significantly higher than the rest of the treatment. Similar trend of treatments effect on grain yield was also obtained during second year i.e. 2006-07. With exception of T2 (one tonne vermicompost + 50% NPK of RDF), grain yield recorded in T1 (150: 60: 40: as NPK, recommended dose of fertilizers), where 100% NPK was supplemented through inorganic source was found significantly lower than the rest of the treatments. Graded does of vermicompost with similar does of NPK influenced the grain yield of wheat significantly during both the years with exception of T8 (one tonnes vermicompost +100% NPK of RDF) and T9 (two tonnes vermicompost + 100% NPK of RDF). Results revealed that 50% NPK can be substituted by the application of @1.0 t ha-1 vermicompost as the grain yield recorded in T1 (150: 60: 40: as NPK, recommended dose of fertilizers) and T2 (one tonne vermicompost + 50% NPK of RDF), was statistically similar while grain yield increased significantly due to application of vermicompost @ 2.0 t ha-1 with 50% NPK. Application of different does of vermicompost with 75% NPK yielded significantly higher than the T1 (150: 60: 40: as NPK, recommended dose of fertilizers), where only 100% NPK was applied during both the years. No significantly variation in grain yield of wheat was found between the treatments having application of 1 t ha-1 vermicompost with either 50% or 75% NPK but yield varied significantly between treatments having the application of 1 t ha-1 vermicompost with 50% or 100% NPK. Similarly no variation was also found between T3 (two tonne vermicompost + 50% NPK of RDF) and T6 (two tonne vermicompost + 75% NPK of RDF) and T4 (three tonne vermicompost + 50% NPK of RDF) and T7 (three tonnes vermicompost +75% NPK of RDF), while T4 (three tonne vermicompost + 50% NPK of RDF) and T10 (three tonnes vermicompost + 100% NPK of RDF), varied significantly during both the years. This implies that application of 3.0 t ha-1 of vermicompost along with 75% NPK is a better combination for optimum crop yield. This combination also enhanced the physical, chemical properties of soil by improving the availability of different nutrients.Keywords

The present study was conducted inYamunanagar district of Haryana. This area was selected purposely because of maximum area under mango fruit crops. Further two blocks, Chhachhrauli and Jagadhari were selected purposively from Yamunanagar district and from each block two villages were selected randomly and thereby a total number of four villages was selected for data collection. Thirty mango grower farmers were selected randomly from each village for the study and thus, a total number of 120 farmers were interviewed. The specific objectives of the present study were socio-economic status, knowledge, adoption and the constraints in adoption of post-harvest management practices by mango growers. The data were collected with the help of well-structured interview schedule..Twelve important independent variables such as age, education, socio-economic status, caste, family size, occupation of respondents, annual income, land holdings, farm implements, mass media exposure, extension contacts, and irrigation facilities were selected for the study. The study revealed that majority o f the farmers were middle aged and belonged to general caste, more than half of the respondents were educated matric to graduate and one-third of respondents had family members up to 5. Most of them were engaged in farming and nearly two-third per cent of the respondents had annual income above Rs. 1 lakh. More than half of the farmers belonged to medium to high level of socio-economic status. Majority of the farmers belonged to low to medium level of mass media and extension contacts. More than half of the farmers used tube well as source of irrigation.Keywords

Knowledge and information are the most essential inputs of the era and must be effectively communicated to the farmers to respond successfully to the opportunities and challenges of social economic and technological changes for the improvement of agricultural productivity, food security and rural livelihoods. Agricultural Technology Information Centre (ATIC) came into existence at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar in February 2002. Since then it is providing free advisory to the farming community of the state on various aspect of agriculture and allied fields. The present study was conducted for identify the problem of cotton growers by using of toll tree number of ATIC . farmers call on the toll tree number of ATIC per month. Majority ofthe callers are from Haryana state. The cotton growers were selected from the list available inATIC by using random sampling from district Hisar and Sirsa, two leading cotton growing districts of Haryana. It was concluded that the more call from Hisar District compare to Sirsa District. 45.00 percent and 37.50 percent of the cotton growers identified the major problem related to Insect-pest identified by Hisar and Sirsa District respectively.Keywords

Mango (Mangifera Indica L.) is known as king of fruits. It belongs to the family Anacardiaceae and genus Mangifera. In Haryana, the maximum area under mango cultivation is in Yamunanagar district with 5419 hectare followed by Ambala, Panchkula, andKamal. The production of mango in Yamunanagar is 60.02 thousand MT. The present study was conducted in Yamunanagar district of Haryana. This area was selected purposely because of maximum area under mango fruit crops. Further two blocks, Chhachhrauli and Jagadhari were selected purposively from Yamunanagar district and from each block two villages were selected randomly and thereby a total number of four villages was selected for data collection. Thirty mango grower farmers were selected randomly from each village for the study and thus, a total number of 120 farmers were interviewed. The specific objectives ofthe present study were socio-economic status, knowledge, adoption and the constraints in adoption of post-harvest management practices by mango growers. The data were collected with the help of well-structured interview schedule..Twelve important independent variables such as age, education, socio-economic status, caste, family size, occupation of respondents, annual income, land holdings, farm implements, mass media exposure, extension contacts, and irrigation facilities were selected for the study. The study revealed that majority of the farmers were middle aged and belonged to general caste, more than ha lf of the respondents were educated matric to graduate and one-third of respondents had family members up to 5. Most of them were engaged in farming and nearly two-third per cent of the respondents had annual income above Rs. 1 lakh. More than h a lf of the farmers belonged to medium to high level of socio-economic status. Majority ofthe farmers belonged to low to medium level of mass media and extension contacts. More than half of the farmers used tube well as source of irrigation.Keywords

Wheat is the second most important crop in India and a principal source of calorie intake. During independence, the country was dependent on wheat import to meet the food demand of the country. Due to the lodging prone low yielding nature of Indian wheat under high fertility conditions, there remained a continuous need for a breakthrough in wheat production. The dream of Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, the father of green revolution in India during mid sixties that came true to materialize the spurt of the Green Revolution in the India by which our country to meet domestic demand from its own production and became a wheat surplus country from a deficient one. Wheat crop plays a major role in creating a status of food security in India. The production level of Wheat in India had a quantum jump from 6.46 million tons from an area of 9.75 million ha in 1950-51 to more than 93.50 million tons from an area of about 302.27 million hectares with productivity of 3093 kg per hectare during 2015-16.- Understanding Host Community’s Perception on the Identified Construct of Environment, Tourism, and Leisure Transport:A Case Study of Nainital

Tourism in Nainital is an age old phenomenon that has grown from a hand full British elites using Nainital for its sabulous climate which reminded them of their home. They used Nainital as a summer retreat and established summer capital to enjoy the weather and climate. Slowly the place started to establish its name as a tourist destination. People use to visit the destination for months hiring rooms with attached kitchens, the entire summer months they use to stay and enjoy the proximity of nature.
During the British period, cement construction was not permitted on the Mall Road and vehicles were not allowed to ply beyond the bus station but nowadays, especially the summer season, the Mall road is clogged with cars, tourist buses, and trucks (Shah, 1999) and with time tourist visitation increased and leisure tourism was converted to mass tourist movement, that imposed pressure for infrastructural development in the area that itself was very fragile with limited space for expansion and development. Irrespective of these facts mass tourism was promoted and to reap benefits from tourism, large scale infrastructure was developed. With the increased number of tourist many folds imposed tremendous pressure on environment, resources and the supply therein, as these are being shared by host and guest altogether.
With industrialisation and financial uplift of all sectors of the society in the country, led to vehicular ownership and good amount of disposable income for tourism purposes, in the last two decades vehicle ownership has increased manifolds. Use of personal vehicle for leisure related travel has become a status symbol especially in industrialised and developing countries. Most tourism emissions are a result of transport with aviation accounting for 40 percent of tourism contribution to CO2, followed by cars (32 percent) and accommodation (21 percent)(Gössling, 2012).
In the entire process of tourist movement to Nainital, apart from the business community the host community has to face numerous challenges during peak season and also share the resources which is depleting day by day with increase in tourist traffic. The present paper is an effort to understand the perception of host community on increased tourist traffic that imposes issues relating to environment, tourism and leisure transport.

Radio plays a very significant role in the lives of young people, as it informs, educates and entertains its audience, and information derived from radio is used for decision making, logical argument, and more. Considering its importance, an exploratory study was carried out with 200 agricultural students selected from three constituents colleges of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar through proportionate random sampling method using a structured interview schedule. Empirical data were tabulated and analyzed with the help of appropriate statistical tools by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings of the study revealed that almost two-fifth of the students (39.68 %) listened radio 'rarely' for 'up to 30 min per day'. Moreover, majority of students (93.65%) listened radio for entertainment purpose, followed by current affair information and news channels, etc.Keywords

High demands of wireless data service are increase globally and this makes Empirical path loss models of great interest. Path loss Propagation models are useful as predictive tools for receiving signal intensity at any particular distance between the transmitter and the receiver at that particular point, it is important in many ways, such as Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) location, radio coverage area estimation, frequency assignments, interference analysis, optimization transfer, power adjustment and connection budget. This paper presents an assessments and evaluation of five widely used empirical path loss models in predicting signal in the VHF and UHF bands in Kano City, Nigeria. In the work, five error analysis methods are used and a large scale field strength measurement was conducted within Kano State metropolis using specially configured dual band handset, GPS and GENEX® Probe software, data samples were collected along a predefined route Measurement of the drive test was carried out in Kano, Nigeria to obtain path loss data from various base station transmitters at varying distances. The routes covered are Zaria highway through eastern bypass road Dan Agundi to Bayero University, Kano old site, Hotoro GRA, Badawa Layout to SabonGari along MM way and Kabuga to Bayero University New site.It was found that HATA model provides the best results in terms of minimum mean Error, RMSE and SCRMSE. HATA model has the best fit which falls within the acceptable range of ±10dB.

The main purpose of the study is to validate the dimensions of environmental turbulence, government support, and organisational performance of 180 SMEs functioning in the UT of J&K. Owners/managers/partners/departmental heads of 180 SMEs were contacted for data collection through questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used for data reduction and confirming the factors emerged. Hypothesised relationships were checked through structural equation modelling. The results established volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) as dimensions of environmental turbulence. Further, the impact of environmental turbulence and the role of government support significantly moderates organisational performance.Keywords

General insurance products provide payments against susceptible damages to tangible assets arising from unforeseen contingencies. The present study explored antecedents of purchase intentions in two clusters, measured cluster-wise relationship between purchase intention and actual purchase behaviour, and examined the moderating effect of demographic and socioeconomic variables on the relationship between purchase intention and actual purchase among 259 respondents of 18 GIC operating in the Jammu district of the state of J&K. The results of simple regression revealed that the purchase intention predicted the purchase behaviour by 42.6% and 64.9% in cluster I and II, respectively. Hayes PROCESS Macro recognised qualification, age, premium paid, and nature of product as moderators between purchase intention and actual purchase behaviour in both the clusters. Income did not act as a moderator either in cluster I or II. For respondents of cluster I, it was suggested to simplify terms and conditions of the policies, minimise usage of difficult and technical terms, and strengthen desk staff to provide quick services to customers. For cluster II, the measures suggested include the introduction of innovative products and promotional offers like online discounts, coupons, tax benefits, and so on. Restructuring of claim process and its settlement within the stipulated time frame and awareness among customers through campaigns, social media promotions, road-shows, customer meets, and so on were suggested for all GIC prospects and customers.Keywords

This study traces the development of watersheds in India based on the governing guidelines of the watershed programmes. We explore the changes and modifications in the watershed guidelines and categorize the developmental changes into six distinct yet interlinked phases. We observed that the watershed guidelines were fine-tuned with emerging challenges of land degradation, livelihood security, gender and social equity, climate change mitigation and adaptations. Recently, the focus of watersheds has shifted from production centric to income-centric by promoting enabling institutional settings. The experiences and learnings from India’s watershed programmes provide insights for other developing countries implementing such programmesFull Text

Abstract An investigation was carried out under the Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar. The experiment was conducted in the pomegranate orchard established under high density planting system at the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Jhalawar in the near vicinity of the college during July 2018 to December 2018 and again during July 2019 to December 2019. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design and experiment comprised of 27 treatment combinations consisting of plant growth regulators levels (NAA 0, 50 and 100 ppm and ethrel 0, 150 and 250 ppm) and fertigation levels (0, 75 and 100% recommended dose of fertilizers). Results revealed that maximum mean per cent increase in plant height (10.34), plant spread viz., East-West (7.01) and North-South (6.62), canopy volume (25.87) and leaf area (19.51 cm2) was recorded under F2 (fertigation 100% recommended dose of fertilizers). However, interaction effect of NAA, ethrel and fertigation were found to be relatively higher to their individual effect. In interaction effect maximum mean per cent increase in plant height (13.28), plant spread viz., East-West (8.03) and North-South (7.71), canopy volume (31.72) and leaf area (23.55 cm2) was recorded under N2E1F2 (100 ppm NAA + 150 ppm ethrel + 100% RDF through fertigation).Keywords
