Biofertilizers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Abstract: India, being an agriculture-based country, there has always been a concern about crop improvement here. Chemical fertilizers increased crops yield, but eventually leached out soil, polluted water basins, degraded ecosystems, reducing soil fertility and thus causing damage to overall environment. Organic fertilizers are costlier and they released nutrients in the surrounding environment thus degrading soil and water quality and human health. Thus came into picture the use of GM crops …

Ground Based Study of the Effect of Open and Close Chamber Condition on Banana Ripening Process
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false IN X-NONE X-NONE Level of O2 and CO2 plays an important role on ethylene biosynthesis during ripening of the climacteric fruit. Low level of O2 and high level of CO2 will affect ACS and ACO enzyme activities and will impede ethylene production. Thus, reduce ethylene level will eventually delay fruit ripening process. Pre-climacteric banana fruits (Musa sp.) were chosen based on ripening level, size, shape, …

Steel corrosion about application of inhibitors
Abstract: In chronology of prevention of irreversible degradation of metals, inhibitors to corrosion have studied to inhibit use of toxic inhibitors. Prevention of toxic inhibitors has further studied to explore non-toxic inhibitors prepared from biological origins, e.g. plant originated or underwater organisms or expired drugs. Toxic organic inhibitors are further studied to select those in which toxicity is removed by dilution of processing chemical. If water pipelines are considered use of …

Antifungal Potential of Plant Extracts against Alternaria solani, causing Early Blight of Tomato
Abstract: AbstractAqueous extracts of five plants with anti-microbial properties were evaluated for suppression of growth of Alternaria solani in laboratory conditions. At low concentration of 2%, four extracts including (Azadirachta indica) failed to suppress the growth. One extract (Putranjiva roxburghii) showed significant suppression of pathogen growth at low concentration, according to Analysis of variance, Tukey’s post-test. Some extracts (Melia azedarach and Tabernaemontana divaricata) on the contrary promoted the growth significantly more …

Demonstration of Tied Ridges and Plantings Method on Soil Moisture and Grain Yield of Maize in Dry Land Area of Sankura Woreda, SNNPR, Ethiopia
Abstract: Tied ridging is a useful technique, especially on terrain with slopes of 3% to 4% or less. On steeper slopes, adding terrace can increase crop yields by prolonging the time it takes for water to percolate into the soil. Purpose of the study was to show the effects of the open end linked ridges with furrow planting technique on the soil's moisture content and the grain production of the maize …

Morphological Identification of Rumen Protozoal Population in Domestic Ruminants of Chennai
Abstract: Rumen is a complex ecosystem where feed consumed by ruminants is digested by the help of symbiotic microbes (bacteria, protozoa, and fungi) and the interaction between the host and ruminal microorganisms are diverse. This provides an advantage in the ability of ruminant digestion. End products of rumen fermentation are volatile fatty acids and the microbial biomass. The distribution of rumen microbes, their numbers, type, vary in the ruminants and is …
