Indigenous knowledge is the accumulated knowledge, skill and technology of the local people. It is readily available at no cost and has many advantages over scientific knowledge. The study was conducted at remote villages of Bidar district to document the indigenous storage techniques adopted by the farmers. The documentation was done by direct interview and group discussion methods. Key informants including progressive farmers belonging to small, marginal and big farmer categories, aged farmers, farmwomen and farm labourers were involved during the process of data collection. The results indicate that among the different management practices followed of the control of stored grain pest, sun drying an age old practice has been observed effective and was adopted by more than 80 per cent farmers in the district. The reduced moisture content inhibited the multiplication of stored pests has been well established long back.Keywords

A community based descriptive and cross sectional study was designed to assess the socio economic status, dietary pattern and nutritional status of teenage pregnant girls. This study was conducted in rural areas of Vellore and Dharmapuri districts in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Convenient sampling method was used to select 139 subjects in their third trimester of pregnancy. Subjects who had registered in Primary Health Centers, Government Hospitals and private hospitals in these areas were selected. Information pertaining to general aspects, anthropometric measurements, nutrient intake, food taboos, special foods consumed during pregnancy was collected by direct interview method using the proforma. The data so collected was statistically analyzed. The findings suggest that most of the participants belonged to low socio economic status. Nutrient intake and anthropometric measurements of the subjects were very low when compared with standards. These results indicate low potential birth outcomes in relation to maternal nutrition.Keywords

The growing concerns for environment and health hazards associated with the use of synthetic dyes, particularly in western countries gave fillip for cultivation and use of naturally coloured cotton, other minor fibres like banana, sisal, hemp etc. The popular belief is that the industrial practices and particularly the chemical industry have altered the natural balance in the world. There is a perception that chemistry is fiddling with the nature. This in turn, leads to returning to traditional or so called more natural way of life. As a part of this trend, there is a lobby for using natural colouring matters today. The reasons for increasing popularity of naturally colorued cotton and other agro fibres include that, these fibres are ecological and economical. In processing of white cotton the chemicals and dyes used and their effluents cause pollution directly or indirectly, the chlorinated products and bleaching agents employed for bleaching cause skin irritation. Dyes containing traces of heavy elements such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, cobalt, zinc and chromium are found skin irritants. The cost of dyeing cotton and other agro fibres economically and environmentally can be very high especially in the counties with strict pollution standards. The cost of naturally coloured cotton is 31 per cent less than the conventionally grown and dyed yarn. Further, the demand for organically produced agricultural products is on the rise. Dyeing uses up to 85 per cent of all the energy used to produce textiles and produces more pollution than any other phase of textile manufacturing. Natural coloured cotton has high quality light and wash fastness, saves resources and prevents pollution. When most textile materials are subjected to continuous rubbing forces, the result is broken threads or holes that we usually associate with wear and abrasion. However, when carpets undergo similar forces, the most obvious results are loss of pile height, gradual flattening of yarns, fuzzing and matting of the pile.Aiming at developing environmentally friendly products, naturally coloured cotton and many other agro fibres were used for making carpets and subjected to some important functional parameters assessed for durability of the newly designed carpets. The results of the study showed that, among the five different types of carpets, compression recovery of naturally coloured cotton carpets was higher followed by cotton carpets. Compression recovery of all the carpets was far less and the carpets did not recover more than 50 per cent. Among the ten different carpets sisal carpets were the costliest followed by banana carpets. The cost of these carpets was high due to cost of raw material i.e. yarn and is not easily available. Naturally coloured carpets were the cheapest or economical among all types of carpets. The cost of production totally depended on the complexity of the design and number of colours used in the design.Keywords

Agriculture being an important occupation in India, there is huge wastage of perishable agricultural commodities. Despite India being the largest producer of the largest varieties of cereal grains and pulses, the demand for consumption is just growing owing to a large increase in population. Processing of cereal grains and pulses has a bright future ahead. The processing of the food commodities at the village level will not only check the post harvest losses but also provides additional employment (both direct and indirect) to the local people. Bidar district is considered as pulse bowl of Karnataka where in pulses like blackgram, greengram, redgram and bengalgram are major crops comprising 206717 ha area. Hence the main objective of this study was to strengthen the livelihood security by establishing 24 small scale food processing units under NAIP-3 Bidar. The research on small scale food processing unit was conducted by team of NAIP-3, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bidar, under an ICAR sponsored project on "Livelihood Security through Resource and Entrepreneurship Management in Bidar district", for 240 selected participants by forming 24 Community Based Organizations consisting of 10 members in each group and introduced mini dal mill, vermicelli machine, chilli pounding machine, flour mill and weighing balance. The project area included 24 selected villages of 4 clusters viz, Aurad, Bhalki, Basavakalyan and Humnabad in Bidar district of Karnataka state. The average income of food processing group was 32,640/month/group/ during season by generating an employment opportunity of 190 man days for 240 members. Thus helping women to empower themselves through group approach.Keywords

Cauliflower has originally been developed from the wild varieties of cauliflower plants found on the sea coasts of England. Cauliflower is related to a type of wild cabbage, called "cole worts". The botanical name of cauliflower plant is "brassica oleraceal. Var. botrytis". Cauliflower greens are good source of iron, which contain about 40 mg of iron per 100g leaves Balabo stated that iron is the major component to maintain blood hemoglobin level.- Acute Oral Toxicity of Essential Oil Extracted from the Leaves of Ocimum Sanctum L.

Due to the widespread use of antimicrobial agents, many Microorganisms have developed drug resistance to many available antimicrobials today. Essential oils from different plants are being explored for their ability to treat various human diseases, including infectious diseases. Earlier, we have found that the essential oil from the leaves of Ocimum sanctum L. had anti bacterial effect on 18 human pathogenic bacteria. In the present study, the essential oil of Ocimum sanctum L. was evaluated for its toxic effects at 300 mg / Kg body weight and 2000 mg / Kg body weight of female Wistar albino rats as per the OECD Guidelines 423 for testing of chemicals. The 14 day acute oral toxicity test has shown Ocimum sanctum L. essential oil is not toxic at 300 mg / Kg body weight of animals but has some toxic effects at 2000 mg /Kg body weight of animals. However, no animals died during the 14 day acute oral toxicity test with 2000 mg / Kg body weight of animals and therefore the LD50 dose of Ocimum sanctum L. should be more than 2000 mg / Kg of body weight of female Wister albino rats.Keywords
