Chicken Feather Degradation Using Thermus aquaticus YT-1 and Application of Keratinolytic Protease Produced
Abstract: ABSTRACTAim of the study undertaken was to develop a process to manage chicken feather waste, without use of potential infectious microorganism. Biodegradation of chicken feather mediated by production of keratinolytic protease involving use of non- pathogenic thermophile Thermus aquaticus was investigated. The structural complexity of native chicken feather acts as inducer to increase protease production as compared to feather meal. The keratinolytic protease produced demonstrated more than 50 % stability …

Control of Yellow Mosaic Disease of Mungbean (Vigna Radiata L. Wilczek) with Chemicals and Botanicals
Abstract: ABSTRACTMungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is an important pulse crop in India. It is attacked by various biotic and abiotic stresses including yellow mosaic which is responsible for heavy losses. Keeping this in view, a few important chemicals and botanicals were evaluated for their antiviral efficacy against yellow mosaic disease of mungbean under natural field conditions. Experiments were conducted in R.B.D. with seventeen treatments and three replications. Results show that …

Cultural Approaches for Plant Disease Management
Abstract: ABSTRACTCultural practices (CPs) can be harnessed for the management of soil and foliar-borne diseases by creating an environment which is favorable for the host and unfavorable for the pathogen. Most cultural practices used to control plant disease are preventive in nature. There are three categories of cultural practices: (a) CP, which is usually applied for agricultural purposes not related to crop protection, such as fertilization and irrigation, (b) CPs, which …

Direct Regeneration from Leaf Explants of Petunia, Petunia Hybrida
Abstract: ABSTRACTPetunia is a very popular and high-value ornamental plant in the world. There is a high demand for petunia and hence plant nurseries are a great source of these plants. Owing to the fact that many high-value petunias are hybrids, production of plants through micro propagation is of great importance. As per the literature available, obtaining direct shoot proliferation from leaf explants has not been observed. In our study, direct …
