Maize (Zea mays L) is the most important cereal crop next rice and wheat in India and also a predominant cereal in the global agricultural economy. Weed management is a serious challenge for successful cultivation of sweet corn. Weeds compete with the crops for the available resources viz., light, nutrient, moisture and space particularly at the initial stages of crop growth period. This reflects to the drastic reduction of yield and quality of final produce.

Flaring natural gas is a routine practice in the course of oil production. This study presents two parts .The first one is presenting analyses of corrosion damage experienced by a plasma-sprayed coating of SS310 alloy, after exposure to a simulated flare tip environment at 975 oC. Samples made of SS310 were utilized to evaluate a proposed coating system, which consists of top coat with yttria stabilized zirconia and a bond coat of Co32Ni21Cr8Al0Y.A simulated gas composition of a flare tip environment was suggested as;CO2 5% :SO2 9.58%:H2O 3.59% :N2 81.83%.

The present investigation was undertaken with the main objective to study the influence of foliar application of micronutrients on Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cv. “Gujarat Tomato 2” at ASPEE, ARDF, Tansa during Rabi 2013-2014. The experiment consists of eight treatments involving T1 (RD NPK through chemical fertilizers N: P2O5 : K2 O5 kg ha-1 (75 : 37.5 : 62.5)), T2 (T1+ 100 ppm B; i.e. Boric acid 0.571 g l-1), T3 (T1+100 ppm Zn; i.e. Zinc sulphate 0.246 g l-1), T4 (T1 + 100 ppm Cu; i.e. Copper sulphate 0.420 g l-1), T5 (T1+100 ppm Fe; i.e.

Discharge of total chromium content into the environment as industrial waste is one of the major causes of environmental pollution. Soil samples were collected from 12 sites, four from each of the study areas viz; Yankusa control land, Gasau dumpsite and Daula agricultural deposited site. The total chromium content was analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). Physiochemical analysis of the contaminated and control land fill were also determined. The parameters determined were colour, odour, pH, temperature, Nitrogen, % potassium and % phosphorus etc.

Presence of the pathogens induces diseases in tasar silkworm rearing there after several ecological and nutritional factors influence diseases spread in general. There is no specific study on the spread of the diseases of tasar silkworm in different stresses.

Secondary to peer rejection, this study examines the experience and stability of loneliness as reported by children and adolescents, as well as the connection between loneliness and the presence of depressive symptoms.

The present investigation was undertaken with the main objective to study the effect of different level of vermiwash spray on growth and yield of Fenugreek cv. Local. The experiment consists of five treatments involving spraying of vermiwash viz., 0.5 %, 1 %, 1.5% and 2 % by mixing with simple water and control were imposed and the foliar application was made 200 l/ha (1 time) with knapsack sprayer in the evening hours thrice at 15, 30 and 45 days after sowing seeds.
