Abstract

Water quality studies in the mining areas clearly point out to the contributions made by the mining activity to the chemical composition of Bandal flver in the Durmala and Maldeota region Levels of phosphates and fluofide in the water are enhanced even in canal waters in the Debra Dun region Drinking water in some taps in Doon valley also show higher levels of contammation for F and P The Bandal fiver carnes total dissolved solids of about 550 ppm which is much higher than the average Indian and world river waters Throughout the region all surface waters are supersaturated With respect to fluorapatite, hydroxyapatite and carbonate apatite. In reality, this equilibrium assembly is not reflected in the phosphate minerals present In tbe river sediments Phosphate minerals constitute nearly half the population of the alluvial sediments in the region with pockets of pyrite minerals up to 10% of the sediments by weight Trace elements like Cu, Cr and F show good Correlation with the P content in the sediment suggesting common sites within the sedlment grains.

Abstract

Signatures of active tectonics have been observed in the eastern part of Doon valley in proximity to a lineament (fault?) cutting across the Himalayan grain. A normal fault has been observed over the Doon sediments represented by a sequence of silty clay, gravel and clay exposed in a quarry section. The fault displaces the litho sequence with a vertical throw of 1 5 m. This suggests tectonic movement along the fault during Quaternary period.

Abstract

S. richardsonii, T. putitora, B. Bendelisis and G. Gotyla are commercially important coldwater fish, widely used as a food fish, game fish and ornamentally fish in the Uttarakhand region of India. The present study examined the phylogenetic relationship within and between four coldwater fish species from Kumaun and Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. The mitochondrial 16S ribosomal DNA were used to elucidate phylogeny of the family Cyprinids. Analysis of 34 sequences of 16S rRNA gene (550 bp) revealed 12 haplotypes for both regions. The 16S rRNA dataset contained 93 and 94 variable site found for Garhwal and Kumaun region respectively. Rate of transition were higher than transversion for both region. The nucleotide diversity was lowest between the T. putitora and S. richardsonii and highest between the B. bendelisis and G. gotyla for both regions. The phylogenetic tree, constructed unweighted pair group average (UPMGA) methods revealed similar results suggesting that T. putitora and S. richardsonii have a close relationship to each other while maximum divergence was observed in B. bendelisis, which was also confirmed by the genetic distance data. The understanding of genetic variations of coldwater fishes will play a key role in conservation and management of this endangered fish species.

Abstract

Information on the genetic profile of cultivable fish species is essential for studying molecular systematic and optimizing fisheries management and fish farming. In the Kumaun and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand Himalayas, coldwater fish species (Cyprinidae) is widespread and endemic in the natural water bodies. The usefulness of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was examined as a potential tool to test the genetic relationship among four predominant fish species, viz., Tor putitora, Schizothorax richardsonii, Garra gotyla and Barilius bendelisis (Cyprinidae: Pisces). The samples were collected from two different geographical region of Kumaun and Garhwal of Uttarakhand. Species specific markers were observed using 10 mer random primers through RAPD-PCR assay. The statistical analysis of RAPD was performed with the software POPGENE version 1.31. The phylogenetic trees based on RAPD-PCR, by using 15 random primers, showed a consistent result of forming two separate monophyletic groups consisting of T. putitora with S. richardsonii and Garra gotyla with B. bendelisis. The present investigation concluded that these methods could be a valuable tool for studying molecular systematic and establishing the taxonomic position among cyprinids coldwater fish species of India.

Abstract

Systematic rock mass characterization is an integral part of rock engineering practices. In the present scenario several classifications are in used for rock mass characterization for tunnelling. The present paper discusses engineering geological investigations carried out for Punasa tunnel, a part of Narmada Sagar project. The horse shoe shaped tunnel is 3675.25 m long and 9 m in diameter. This straight and free flow tunnel has been constructed in basaltic lava flows erupted during Cretaceous to Eocene age, belonging to poor to fair rock mass rating (RMR) and extremely poor to good in tunnel quality (Q-system). The values of RMR and Q-system ranges from 29 to 74 and 0.0825 to 13.33 respectively.

Abstract

In rural areas of Tripura, fishing is one of the important economic activities supporting the livelihood of 73,264 fishermen population (Anon., 2002). This study is aimed at examining the socio-economic conditions of fishermen of Rudrasagar Lake of Tripura and analysing the economic viability of fishing operations. The Rudrasagar Lake of West Tripura district was purposively selected as it is a big water body covering 365.61 ha water area with annual fish production of 41,683 kg (2006-07). From 15 fishermen villages, which are mainly dependent on fishing in Rudrasagar Lake, 5 villages were randomly selected. Then altogether 119 fishermen were randomly chosen from these sampled villages for interview. A linear regression model was used to find out the relationship between average catch per day and investment on fishing gears and crafts. The results obtained showed that the fishing is a primary occupation of fishermen of the study area. However they are also dependent on agriculture or daily wages for off -season employment and income. The fishing community of Tripura has low level of education (70 per cent below matriculation) which has kept the fishermen's children to remain in fishing business. In the peak season fishermen do fishing in groups by pooling their fishing resources such as fishing gears and crafts and share the catch accordingly. After deduction of non-recurring and recurring costs, a fisherman family earned about Rs 14,481 per annum. The outputcapital ratio was found to be 1.87 which indicates that present fishing operations in the study area are feasible. A direct relationship was observed between average daily catch and investment on fishing gears and crafts. It is interesting to note that 60 per cent fishermen families have savings, though in small amounts with different financial agencies. However, the credit requirements of fishermen were mainly met by money lenders, fish traders or SHGs. The high interest rate 2-5 per cent on monthly basis charged by money lenders or high commission charged (10 per cent) by fish traders are clear indication of exploitation of fishermen. It brings out that despite fishing being economically viable and fishermen getting good returns on investment in fishing gears and craft, they are still unable to have access to institutional loan.

Abstract

Present study indicates that the percentage area under cereals, pulses, food grains, oil seeds, sugarcane and cotton in gross cropped area was to the tune of 59.31, 14.47, 73.79, 8.13, 1.30 and 4.46 per cent, respectively during 1950-51. The shifting scenario in cropping pattern was observed during 2010-11, the area under food grains was decreased and area under oilseed, sugarcane, cotton and other crops was increased. In productivity term crop wheat, rice, jowar, bajra, maize, gram, groundnut, mustard, sugarcane and cotton was tremendously increased but in case of tur it was found to be declined. Input utilization which is important tool of agricultural development through the enhancing the productivity indicates that the utilization of input such as seed, fertilizer and pesticides has been increased. The contribution of agriculture export in the total export was observed that during 1960-61, the total export from the country was worth Rs. 642 crores in which the share of agriculture commodities was 44.24 per cent. The export rose to Rs. 32553 crores with 19.40 per cent share of agriculture exports during 1990-91. During the last four decades the figures of agriculture exports increased from Rs. 6711 to Rs. 120185 crores. But, its percentage share in total exports has declined to 10.47 per cent. This may be due to proportionate increased in export of goods from other sector like manufactured goods, minerals, etc. The study clearly indicated that the introduction of green revolution during 1970-71 and advent of several economic measures during 1991 has given a significant positive impact on Indian Agriculture, which ultimately helps in pushing the upward momentum of progress of agricultural sector in the country.

Abstract

Danadar is a famous Chhana based traditional dairy product of West Bengal which is liked by almost every one. The marketing success of a new product exists on the economic feasibility of manufacturing process. Cost estimation for commercialization of any food product is very crucial. In view of this, an attempt was made to estimate the cost of the developed product through project evaluation, plant design, product pricing, process optimization and other techno economic studies. The cost of different components used in the manufacture of Danadar at Faculty of Dairy Technology, Nadia, W.B. was taken as on September, 2016. In order to arrive at a reasonable realistic cost of processing and that of the end product, certain assumptions were made. The cost of production of Danadar was worked out considering the costs of all the inputs (fixed and variable costs) for a production capacity of 1000 kg/day. It was assumed that the Danadar plant would be operated in one shift of 8 h each for 300 days in a year. The cost of the raw materials used, has been worked out on the prevailing market prices. The finished product would be packaged in PS tray within a cardboard box with a capacity of 500 g. It was found that the product could be manufactured at Rs. 130.00 per kg (including packaging), which appeared to be reasonably competitive considering the prevalent market price of this traditional product.

Abstract

The spotted pod borer, Maruca vitrata(Fab.) causes significant damage by attacking pods in cowpea. The aim of this study was to evaluate the field efficacy of new generation insecticides against spotted pod borer. Field experiments were conducted at Regional Research Station, Nasik (Maharashtra) on cowpea during Kharif,2009 and 2010. Among the new generations tested, flubendiamide 20 WG @ 1.0 g/l (4.79%) was observed significantly higher, in reducing the damage caused by the spotted pod borer in cowpea, on number basis followed by indoxacarb 14.5SC @ 0.5 ml/l (7.99%) and spinosad 45 SC @ 0.3 ml/l (8.70%). The highest marketable yield (91.49 q/ha) was recorded in flubendiamide 20 WG @ 1.0 g/l followed by spinosad 45 SC @ 0.3 ml/l (91.39 q/ha). However, the maximum cost benefit ratio (1:3.2) was recorded in thiodicarb 75 WP @ 1 g/l followed by indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 0.5 ml/l (1:2.3), spinosad 45 SC @ 0.3 ml/l (1:1.9), emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 0.5 g/l (1:1.3), flubendiamide 20 WG @ 1.0 g/l (1:1.1). On the basis of efficacy, flubendiamide 20 WG @ 1.0 g/l was observed to be very effective against Maruca vitratain cowpea followed by indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 0.5 ml/l and spinosad 45 SC @ 0.3 ml/l.

Abstract

The grapes are being exported in increasing quantities from Maharashtra to European countries and a lot of pesticide inputs are being used by the growers. A total number of 578 grape samples collected from Nasik district during December, 2013 to April, 2014 and analyzed for 167 numbers of multi-class pesticide (Organophosphate, Triazine, Pyrimidine, Triazole, Imidazole, Benzimidazole, Nicotinoid, Substituted thiourea, Strobiluron, Dinitroaniline, Morpholine) residue levels using Liquid Chromatography-Mass spectrometry/Mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry/Mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) by using validated methods. Only four samples were free from pesticide residues and rest were contaminated with 1-13 numbers of pesticides residue. During the study different classes of total 41 number of agro-chemicals had been detected and 116 number of samples were failed with residues of 4-Bromo-2-Chlorophenol, Abamectin,Carbendazim, Chlormequat Chloride , Chloropyriphos,Dinocap,Forchlorfenuron, Hexaconazole, Flusilazole, Profenophos, Spinosad, Thiacloprid, Triazophos, Fipronil and Acephate by exceeding their European Union MRLs.
