Soil samples were collected from an industrial ShahadaTehsil of Nandurbar District, Maharashtra, India. Mineralogical identification soil samples were carried out by using powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique. The XRD results revealed the presence of various minerals. XRD Method is non-destructive and can be used in the identification of mineralogical composition.
The study investigated the effects of education on agricultural productivity of farmers; how the varying kinds of education affect agricultural productivity; to suggest policy interventions that will facilitate the use of education to increase agricultural productivity and how educational level of farmers in the Municipality can be improved. Eight farming communities were involved in the study. They were selected based on their location in the Municipality, predominant economic activity, access to extension services and non- formal education.
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.
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.
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.
Sugarcane is mainly cultivated for sugar production in the world and is an important cash crop of India. It plays a key part in the upliftment of socio-economic condition of the growers. In Uttar Pradesh, sugarcane not only supports the economy but also the major crop which is the source of income of millions of farmers. As an important cash crop of mid western plain zone sugarcane occupies nearly 70 percent of cultivated land. This study is based on primary data and conducted during the year 2012-13.
In the present paper, we report the use of ISSR markers and their comparison with RAPD to analyze the genetic diversity of Butea monosperma from different agroecological regions viz. arid, semi-arid, dry sub-humid and moist sub-humid. For this purpose, 26 ISSR primers were tested. Of them 7 reproducible primers yield 58 (83%) polymorphic bands. The average value of Nei’s gene diversity and resolving power were 0.71 and 7.47 respectively.
Green revolution, going green, environmental protection, sustainable life style, sustainable development, protecting our earth and many more has been become a natural phenomenon in our everyday life. Green marketing is a tool used by many companies in various industries to follow this trend.
