TY - JOUR T1 - Impact of seven years of organic farming on soil and produce quality and crop yields in eastern Himalayas, India AN - 1859491025; PQ0004015608 AB - Low use of chemicals in agriculture, plentiful availability of biomass and manure and favorable climatic conditions offer the opportunity for organic farming in eastern Himalayan region of India. Thus, field experiments were conducted in seven consecutive years from 2005 - 06 to 2011 -12 under a raised and sunken bed (RSB) land configuration (0.3-0.4m height, 2m width, 7m length) in lowland at Meghalaya (950m above sea level), India. The RSBs were constructed to facilitate drainage and accommodate vegetables in lowland conditions. The objectives of the study were (i) to identify suitable crops and cropping sequences for organic food production, and (ii) to assess long term impacts of organic farming on soil and produce quality. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) - vegetable sequences on raised beds and rice (varieties) - fallow (no crop) sequences on sunken beds were assessed under four farming practices in fixed plots. The four farming practices were control (only in-situ recycling of 2/3rd crop residues), organic (farmyard manure and rock phosphates), inorganic (mineral fertilizer) and integrated farming [50/50 organic and inorganic fertilizer sources (INF)]. Results indicated that seven-year average productivity of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and carrot (Daucus carota L.) under organic (22.1, and 10.1Mgha-1, respectively) and INF (21.9, and 10.4Mgha-1, respectively) were significantly higher than both inorganic (17.6, and 7.1Mgha-1, respectively) and control (3.77, and 3.1Mgha-1, respectively). However, yields of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were the highest under INF (14.4 and 8.7Mgha-1, respectively) followed by organic (13.9 and 7.5Mgha-1, respectively). Considering farming practices, INF (3.99Mgha-1), organic (3.85Mgha-1) and inorganic (3.81Mgha-1) had the similar rice productivity in sunken beds but all had significantly higher yield than that of control. After seven years, the soil available N on raised and sunken beds under organic farming was 13.3 and 4.36% higher than that under inorganic and 20.8 and 18.2% higher than that under control, respectively. Soil microbial biomass carbon was significantly higher under organic raised (177.9 mu gg-1 dry soil) and sunken beds (146.77 mu gg-1 dry soil) than that of other farming practices. Most of the quality parameters of tomato (lycopene content, total sugar, total soluble solids) and carrot (total soluble solids, ascorbic acid, beta carotene) were superior under organic farming followed by INF. Combining all these long-term results, the study strongly suggests several benefits of organic farming for sustainable productivity and improved soil and produce quality under eastern Himalayan condition.

Due to severe infestation, the leaves turn yellow, start drying and the plants die slowly. The recommended practice of injecting the hole with 5 ml of 0.05% of Dichlorvos or inserting piece of cotton/cloth dipped in insecticide, petrol and kerosene and sealing it with mud was found not satisfying in rectifying the severely infested plants. An experiment was conducted comparing the recommended practice and drenching treatments of different concentrations of Monocrotophos and Dichlorvos. The basin drenhing with 10 liters of 0.5% Dichlorvos 76 EC has effectively rectified the plants in 63.23 days with 79.05% success and can be recommended only after the harvesting of fruits for rectification of severely infested plants.

Due to the paucity of pan-genomic studies on aeromonads, the present study was undertaken to analyse the pan-genome of three clinically important Aeromonas species (A. hydrophila, A. veronii, A. caviae). Results of pan-genome analysis revealed an open pan-genome for all three species with pan-genome sizes of 9181, 7214 and 6884 genes for A. hydrophila, A. veronii and A. caviae, respectively. Core-genome: pan-genome ratio (R sub(CP)) indicated greater genomic diversity for A. hydrophila and interestingly R sub(CP) emerged as an effective indicator to gauge genomic diversity which could possibly be extended to other organisms too. Phylogenomic network analysis highlighted the influence of homologous recombination and lateral gene transfer in the evolution of Aeromonas spp. Prediction of virulence factors indicated no significant difference among the three species though analysis of pathogenic potential and acquired antimicrobial resistance genes revealed greater hazards from A. hydrophila. In conclusion, the present study highlighted the usefulness of whole genome analyses to infer evolutionary cues for Aeromonas species which indicated considerable phylogenomic diversity for A. hydrophila and hitherto unknown genomic evidence for pathogenic potential of A. hydrophila compared to A. veronii and A. caviae.

Till date, 16 different NDMs have been described. In this study, we report the molecular and structural characteristics of NDM-5 isolated from an Escherichia coli isolate (KOEC3) of bovine origin. Using PCR amplification, cloning and sequencing of full blaNDM gene, we identified the NDM type as NDM-5. Cloning of full gene in E. coli DH5 alpha and subsequent assessment of antibiotic susceptibility of the transformed cells indicated possible role of native promoter in expression blaNDM-5. Translated amino acid sequence had two substitutions (Val88Leu and Met154Leu) compared to NDM-1. Theoretically deduced isoelectric pH of NDM-5 was 5.88 and instability index was 36.99, indicating a stable protein. From the amino acids sequence, a 3D model of the protein was computed. Analysis of the protein structure elucidated zinc coordination and also revealed a large binding cleft and flexible nature of the protein, which might be the reason for broad substrate range. Docking experiments revealed plausible binding poses for five carbapenem drugs in the vicinity of metal ions. In conclusion, results provided possible explanation for wide range of antibiotics catalyzed by NDM-5 and likely interaction modes with five carbapenem drugs.

However, because of limited data, the effect of land use on SOC inventory at regional level is poorly quantified. The present study assessed the influence of seven major land uses and agrophysical variables (soil texture, bulk density, annual rainfall and mean temperature) on SOC concentration and stock across altitudinal gradients (6-3,500masl) of NEHR of India. Results revealed that non-agricultural land uses (grasslands and forests) registered significantly higher SOC concentration (2.20 to 2.51%) and stock (35.2-42.1Mgha super(-1)) compared with agricultural (shifting and settled-up and lowlands), plantation and horticultural land uses (SOC, 1.44 to 1.63%; stock, 27.4-28.4Mgha super(-1)). Principal component analysis exhibited that the variation in SOC concentration among the land uses was mostly contributed by finer fractions of soil separates (silt and clay contents), and altitudinal gradient led variation in climatic variables (rainfall and temperature). Trend analyses depicted that SOC increased with an increase in rainfall and clay content but decreased with mean temperature and soil bulk density. Along the altitudinal gradient (6 to 1,000masl), an inconsistent increase in silt + clay, annual rainfall, SOC concentration, and stock was also observed.

The exotic parasitoid Anagyrus sp., Diversinervus sp., and Microterys sp. of family Encyrtidae were found to be highly effective in suppressing citrus mealy bug, Planococcus citri (Risso.). Pink hibiscus mealybug population in major grapevine growing areas was successfully suppressed by Anagyrus dactylopii, Leptopilinia sp. and Alamella flava besides major predator, Cacoxenus perspicax, Triommata coccidivora which provides spectacular control of heavy infestation of Pink hibiscus mealybug. The encyrtid parasitoid, Tetracnemoidea indica (Ayyar), was able to check the oriental mealybug, Planococcus lilacinus (Ckll.) on acid lime and pomegranate. Release of the coccinellid predator, C. montrouzieri, was found very effective in controlling the coccid, Rastrococcus iceryoides (Green) on mango. Spalgis epeus was found to be the predominant predator of the papaya mealybug but releases of the exotic parasitoid, Acerophagus papayae (Noyes and Schauff), provided excellent control within 3-4 months of release.

The physico-chemical properties of the soil show contrasting difference between the surface and sub-surface soil layers. Different forms of P were significantly and positively correlated among themselves and lower values of the concentration of different forms P were observed in the sub-surface soil layer compared to their values in the surface soil layer. Important role of organic C and clay content of the soils in the variation of different forms of P was noticed. The dominance of different inorganic fractions of P was in the order : Rs-P>Fe-P>Al-P>Ca-P and Sa-P.

Raised and sunken bed (RSB) land configuration (removing the surface soil layer from an area and depositing on the adjacent area to a height of about 50 cm by cutting and filling method) was demonstrated in a participatory research mode in farmers' field during 2010-2012 for promoting crop diversification, enhancing crop and WP, and improving livelihood. The results indicated significant improvement in cropping intensity, productivity, employment, and income of farmers due to adoption of RSB land configuration compared to farmers' practice (FP) of rice monocropping. The average rice equivalent yield (REY) of RSB land configuration was 16.20 t ha super(-1) compared to 3.24 t ha super(-1) under FP. The enhancement in employment and water-use efficiency were 445 and 291 % due to RSB over FP, respectively. The WP enhanced by four times due to RSB (0.69 kg m super(-3) water) compared to FP (0.18 kg m super(-3) water). In raised beds, the highest gross (USD 7,346 ha super(-1)) and net returns (USD 4,524 ha super(-1)) were recorded under tomato-okra-broccoli sequence, while in sunken beds, the highest gross and net returns were obtained under rice-pea (USD 2,633 and 1,590 ha super(-1), respectively) and these were substantially higher than those observed under FP (USD 775 ha super(-1) and USD 383 ha super(-1), respectively). Multiple cropping index, cultivated land utilization index, and diversity index also increased substantially due to RSB land configuration.

However, the productivity of rice in the region is very low, and this is mainly associated with reduced plant population, growth, and yield attributes with lower relative water content and leaf rolling with formation of soil cracks by erratic and aberrant rainfall. Keeping this in view, a field experiment on transplanted rice was conducted during two consecutive years 2011 and 2012 at NER of India, to evaluate the imposition of forced surface drainage (SD) at various growth stages (continuous drainage, SD at tillering, SD at panicle initiation, SD at booting, SD at flowering, SD at milking, and 15 days intermittent SD) and was compared with continuous flooding on growth and yield attributes, yield, relative water content, leaf rolling, and formation of soil cracks. Results revealed that continuous flooding has significant (p 90 %, no leaf roll, and soil crack. However, imposition of SD at tillering has lower tillers hill super(-1), but yield was compensated by improvement in yield attributes. As per the availability of water, growers of the region can utilize the water for scheduling of water and most critical stages can be avoided by moisture stress to obtain higher productivity.

The objective of this 3 years' study was to evaluate the performance of two types of tillage: conventional tillage (CT) and zero tillage (ZT) systems with four mulches; paddy straw mulch (PSM), maize stubble (MS), Imperata cylendrica (thatch grass, TG) and no mulch (NM) on yield and water use of pea (Pisum sativum) and physico-chemical properties of soil. CT and PSM have registered 11.1% and 36.1% higher pod yield, 10.0% and 40% improvement of water use efficiency (WUE) and 9.7% and 49.2% better harvest monetary benefit (HMB) over ZT and NM, respectively. Soil moisture content (SMC) was higher with ZT than CT. Placement of mulch has considerably higher SMC on upper soil layer over NM, but at deeper depth, there was no such evidence. The soil organic carbon (SOC) was considerably improved by 4.1% with ZT than CT, whereas, MS improved SOC by 1.9% than NM. The findings clearly suggested that CT along with PSM registered improvement in pod yield, WUE and HMB, but ZT and MS improved SOC at different soil depths and responded to carbon stock management.

After 4 h of equilibrium time, adsorption of flubendiamide on soil matrix exhibited moderately low rate of accumulation with 4.52 plus or minus 0.21 % in red soil and low rate with 3.55 plus or minus 0.21 % in black soil. After amending soils with organic manure, adsorption percentage increased to 6.42 plus or minus 0.21 % in red soil and (4.18 plus or minus 0.21 %) in black soil indicating that amendment significantly increased sorption. Variation in sorption affinities of the soils as indicated by distribution coefficient (K sub(d)) for sorption was in the range of 2.98-4.32, 4.91-6.64, 1.04-1.45 and 1.92-2.81 ml/g for red soil, organic manure-treated red soil, black soil and organic manure-treated black soil, respectively. Desorption was slightly slower than adsorption indicating a hysteresis effect having hysteresis coefficient ranges between 0.023 and 0.149 in two test soils. The adsorption data for the insecticide fitted well the Freundlich equation. Results revealed that adsorption-desorption was influenced by soil types and showed that the maximum sorption and minimum desorption of the insecticide was observed in soils with higher organic carbon and clay content. It can be inferred that crystal lattice of the clay soil plays a significant role in flubendiamide adsorption and desorption. Adsorption was lower at acidic pH and gradually increased towards alkaline pH. As this insecticide is poorly sorbed in the two Indian soil types, there may be a possibility of their leaching to lower soil profiles.

Until recently, the primary goal of agricultural research was to increase food supplies through cost-reducing technology. Research focused on increasing the yields of major food crops in irrigated and rainfed areas, where researchers anticipated highest productivity returns. This strategy was really effective and led to real benefits for the poor. When increased productivity is combined with increased agricultural employment, lower food prices and off-farm employment, agricultural research can be credited with significant reduction in rural poverty.

Practical technologies have been developed to cultivate two commercially important seaweeds, viz. Kappaphycus alvarezii and Gracilaria edulis in tropical waters. The sap of these seaweeds has turned out to be a low-cost potent plant biostimulant when applied as foliar spray. A field experiment was conducted using different concentrations of both the seaweed saps in a research farm at Umiam, Meghalaya to study their impact on growth, yield and quality of maize. Results indicated that both the seaweed saps significantly improved the grain yield (10.5-13.1%), carbohydrate (12.3-17.4%) and protein content (4.8%) of maize over and above the control which received the recommended dose of fertilizers only. Thus, these seaweed saps are proved to be an eco-friendly means for enhancing maize productivity and quality in this economically backward region.

Six soils, three each from the Inceptisols and Alfisols, were incubated for 30 days with combinations of lime and B. The soils were acutely deficient in plant-available B (0.09-0.21 mg kg super(-1)). Only <50 percent of applied B was recovered from the soils in available form. Such recovery was lower in Alfisols than that in Inceptisols due to adsorption of a greater amount of added B with iron (Fe super(-)) and aluminium (Al super(-)) oxides in the former soil group. Required dose of lime showed an increase in availability of native soil B, particularly in Inceptisols (26 percent), and a net decrease in recovery of added B (32.5 percent) as compared to no lime control (41.6 percent). The results thus suggest that liming to acidic soils increases extractable B.

Combined analysis of variance showed that the GE interaction effect accounted for 27.77% and 15.71% of total variation for grain yield and number of branches respectively, indicating that the GE interaction is more complex. The first two principal components (PC1 and PC2) were used to display a two-dimensional GGE biplot which is very useful in identifying stable genotypes with high yield performance. For Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur, H-1 and JS-335 were the winner genotypes respectively, whereas H-9 was winner for Meghalaya and Sikkim. As far as mean performance and stability of genotypes was concerned, H-1 and JS-335 were found to be superior for grain yield.

Field experiments were conducted for the first time to evaluate the new techniques of rice cultivation, viz. the system of rice intensification (SRI) and integrated crop management (ICM) along with conventional rice culture (CRC) for improving productivity, water and energy use efficiency during the rainy seasons of 2004-07 at the ICAR Research Complex for North Eastern Hill Region, Umiam, Meghalaya (950 m msl), India. Three stand establishment methods, viz. SRI, ICM and CRC in main plots, and five nutrient management practices, viz. recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF = 80:26:33 kg NPK ha super(-1)), farmyard manure (FYM) 10 t ha super(-1), RDF + FYM 5 t ha super(-1), 50% RDF + FYM 10 t ha super(-1), and a control (no fertilizer and manure) in sub-plots, were tested in a split-plot design; only few meaningful interactions were found. Results showed a higher number of panicles per square metre under CRC and ICM compared with SRI. However, the number of panicles per hill, grains per panicle and the test weight remained higher in the SRI method. In terms of mean grain yield, ICM (4.86 t ha super(-1)) and SRI (4.72 t ha) produced 12.8 and 9.6%, respectively, higher grain yield over CRC (4.3 t ha super(-1)). Among the nutrient management practices, the application of RDF + FYM 5 t ha super(-1) (5.0 t ha super(-1)) and 50% RDF + FYM 10 t ha super(-1) (4.87 t ha super(-1)) not only produced higher grain yield of rice (23.8 and 20.5%, respectively, higher yield over control) but also maintained higher soil available N, P and organic carbon at harvest compared with other nutrient management practices. Photosynthesis rate and water use efficiency were found to be significantly (p < 0.05) higher under SRI, whereas the transpiration rate was higher under CRC. The ICM method recorded maximum net return and energy output to input ratio, which was followed by SRI and CRC. Therefore, the ICM method of rice cultivation would be the preferred option for the sub-tropical mid-hills of eastern Indian Himalayas.

The azomethine-H method was the most sensitive in determining extractable B content of soils. All four methods, however, performed with equal efficiency for estimating B concentration in plant tissues. In the case of irrigation water, both carmine and azomethine-H were equally efficient in B determination. Natural concentration of interfering elements for the methods in all the tested soil, plant, and water samples were less than the tolerance limits. Because of sensitivity, ease of adaptation without using strong sulfuric acid, and rapidity, the azomethine-H method may be used for regular B determination in soil, plant, and irrigation water samples.

Field demonstrations were undertaken during wet seasons of 2008-11 and socio-economic information in the context of farmer's realities were obtained during 2010-11 using a well structured questionnaire administered to 134 farmers. The results indicated that the average higher productivity of rice under SRI and ICM demonstration was 209.9 and 185.4 %, respectively, over conventional rice culture (CRC). The SRI and ICM methods of rice cultivation could save seeds (97.56 and 60.98 %), saving water (78.05 and 63.66 %), reduce cost (70.33 %), higher yield etc. compared to CRC. The main reasons for non-adoption of SRI/ICM was related to involvement of more efforts, faith towards traditional practices, ignorance and lack of knowledge on scientific water management. The net-return of $816.69, $706.63 and $51.48/ha was realized under SRI, ICM and CRC, respectively. The co-efficient of multiple determinations (R super(2)) of the production function was 0.695 in SRI, 0.714 in ICM and 0.734 in CRC which indicated that about 69.5, 71.4 and 73.4 % of the variation in rice productivity under SRI, ICM and CRC, respectively were explained by the independent variable and remaining 30.5, 28.6 and 26.6 %., respectively in SRI, ICM and CRC were as a result of non-inclusion of some explanatory variables as well as other factors outside the farmers control.

AN - 1671447819; 19410253 AB - The relationship of short-range order (SRO) minerals, their role in carbon sequestration capacity and its relation with clay carbon was studied in three soils with contrasting characteristics. The study was carried out in two phases, viz. sorghum-sudangrass depletion experiment and test crop experiment with maize using three levels of fertility status (depleted, original and fertilized with 40 ppm P and K) and two levels of rhizospheric status (rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere). After crop harvest, the clays were separated and fractionated into fine and coarse clay humus complexes and SRO minerals, total organic carbon (TOC) and labile carbon (LC) contents were estimated in them. In fine clay humus complex, mean TOC was significantly higher in Vertisol (3.01%), depleted fertility (2.96%) and rhizosphere (2.87%) samples. LC was significantly higher in depleted fertility status (1.74%), Vertisol (1.72%) and non-rhizosphere (1.82%) samples. In coarse clay humus complex, mean TOC was significantly higher in depleted fertility status (2.33%), Vertisol (2.71%) and rhizosphere (2.30%) samples, whereas for LC only significant difference was observed in soil. TOC showed significant and positive correlation with amorphous ferri-alumino silicate (AFAS) content and allophane content in fine and coarse clay humus complexes respectively. Non-labile carbon showed significant positive correlation with AFAS in both the clay humus complexes and allophane content in coarse clay humus complex. Fine clay humus in any soil is most important in terms of total amount of sequestered carbon. In coarse clay humus fraction, the role of Al and Fe compound is more prominent. Alfisol is the most potential soil for sequestering carbon; rhizosphere sequestered more carbon than non-rhizosphere.

Extreme climate-driven multifarious threats, including tidal gushes, deluge with sea water, permanent submergence of land, occurrence of droughts and water scarcity have taken a toll on food and environmental security of the island. Knowing the trend of long-term weather variables responsible for the climate of the island holds importance in adaptation and mitigation strategies to sustain food production. In the present article, weather variables of the island (1982-2010) have been analysed to detect the changes in trend using Mann-Kendall non-parametric test and the magnitudes of such trends have been estimated using Sen's slope. The island receives an annual average rainfall of 1735 + 352 mm, with an inter-annual deviation exceeding 40% and exhibits a decreasing trend (-5.79 mm year super(-1)). Significant (P<0.05) anomalies in inter- as well intra-annual rainfall distributions (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon months) were observed. Contribution of monsoon and post-monsoon months showed a decreasing trend (-3.84 to -4.42 mm year super(-1)), while pre-monsoon rainfall showed an increasing trend (+0.98 mm year super(-1)). Wide variability in inter-annual rainy days (76-139 days) and a decreasing trend (-0.24 days year super(-1)) may further complicate the existing anomalies. The island is experiencing a significant (P < 0.05) rising trend of inter-annual mean (+0.021 degree C year super(-1)) and maximum temperatures (+0.060 degree C year super(-1)), with a reverse trend (decline) in minimum temperature (-0.031 degree C year super(-1)). Other weather variables like sunshine duration, wind speed, atmospheric evaporative demand, etc. also manifested a complex interaction and significant (P < 0.05) decreasing trend over the study periods (1982-2010). Implications of these changes were manifested on water balance front: rising trend of water scarcity during post-monsoon months (December-February) in the island.

Isolates were characterized for antimicrobial resistance traits and virulence genes. Results revealed that one isolate was harbouring New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase gene (blaNDM). Cloning and sequencing of the PCR amplicon confirmed the identity of the gene (GenBank accession no. KC769583) having 100% homology with blaNDM-5 (GenBank accession no. JN104597.1), and this isolate was susceptible to colistin, chloramphenicol and tetracycline only. Moreover, another isolate carried extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) gene - blaCTX-M, and all isolates possessed blaTEM gene. Of the eight isolates, only one isolate was positive for shiga toxin gene (stx2), and none were harbouring stx1 gene. Occurrence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (blaNDM) in one E. coli isolate and ESBL genes in other isolates poses a potential threat to human health following possible entry and spread through food chain.

Two hundred tribal farmers were selected randomly from the North and East District of the state. Information on socio-economic characteristics of farmers (gender, occupation, educational status, and farming experience), management practices, disease prevalence, and economics in pig production was collected. The study recorded the mean land holding as 1.2 plus or minus 0.8 ha, and the number of pigs per farm was 5.0 plus or minus 0.28. Pigs were mainly kept as a source of income, and 70 % of farmers reared crossbreed pigs. Ninety percent (90 %) of respondents practiced the intensive system of management whereby kitchen wastes along with cooked mixture comprising maize bhusa, mustard oil cake, pseudostem of banana, tuber, stem, and plant leaves were used to feed their animals. About 40.5 % of farmers procured their breeding stock from government farms that had good records and utilized veterinary services like timely vaccination and deworming.

From the primitive technology of Amazonians known as 'Terra-Preta' for enhancing soil productivity with charred biomass, biochar has emerged as a viable soil ameliorant for carbon sequestration. Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced by incomplete combustion of biological materials in the absence of oxygen or with limited amount of oxygen. It is reported that biochar stores carbon (C) in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years and thus, the level of greenhouse gases (GHGs) like CO sub(2) and CH sub(4) can be reduced significantly from the atmosphere super(2). Biochar production by pyrolysis process from different crop residues and application in the soil had been proposed by many researchers as an effective countermea-sure to increase soil organic carbon stock while improving soil fertility and climate change mitigation in agriculture super(3). High recalcitrance of biochar against microbial decay had indirect effect on increased nitrogen (N) use efficiency of crops which might reduce GHG emission from N fertilizer industry super(4).

However, in the process of tracking the presence of institutionalized interpreters in Hispanic-American colonial sources, we find indices and references in the documents that help us in these reconstructions. Through an interdisciplinary approach (historical anthropology and interpretation studies) to chronicles and archival material related to the Hispano-Mapuche treaties in the Araucanian frontier in Southern Chile (in particular during 17th-18th C.) we propose two methodological tools for approaching interpretation as a historical practice. This experience leads us to conclude that there is knowledge to be derived from past practice through interdisciplinary dialogue. From the point of view of interpretation studies, this approach takes us to depths of interpretation practice not often explored; from the perspective of historical anthropology, linguistic mediation is better clarified as an object of study.

In acid soils, aluminium toxicity and consequent low phosphorous availability impair plant growth. The primary response to aluminium stress is visible in the roots. Exclusion and neutralization are two well known mechanism of aluminium tolerance in plants. Although, relative root growth in high aluminium containing solution is often used for screening, a reliable screening procedure needs to be developed. 14 genes from seven different species are reported for aluminium tolerance of which genes of the Aluminium-activated malate transporter (ALMT) and multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) families are prominent. In this review, the progress of research in identifying aluminium toxicity tolerant genes is discussed.

Because of its strategic settings in the phyto-biomass-rich landscape of the Eastern Himalaya, the soils are rich in organic carbon. However, sporadic information on field-scale observations is available on soil organic carbon (SOC) content at regional level. Information on status and spatial variability of SOC and its complex interaction with land-use systems is scanty. Therefore, an attempt was made to estimate spatial variability in SOC inventories for surface soils across six states of NER (viz. Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura covering a geographical area of 15.61 m ha) in Geographical Information System (GIS) environment. Results revealed that the soils were very high in SOC content - 98.54% area had > 1% and 14.4% area had > 2.5% SOC content. Similarly, 76.5% area had SOC density of 20-40 Mg/ha and 8% area had very high SOC density of 40-60 Mg/ha. A total of 339.8 Tg (1 Tg = 10 super(12)g) SOC stocks was estimated on an area of 10.10 m ha surface soils representing all major land-use systems, with a major share (> 50%) coming from forest soils. Complex interaction of geographic location, rainfall, soil texture and land-use practices significantly influenced spatial variation in SOC content, density and stock. The SOC content as percentage of total geographical area was highest in Sikkim followed by Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya, Assam and Tripura.

The pig production system was studied, and performance of nondescript and crossbred pigs under the traditional system was evaluated. Litter size and growth rate of crossbred pig was significantly (P<0.05) higher compared to the nondescript pigs. Non-availability of superior germplasm to produce crossbred pigs and high mating cost were the major constraints observed in the study in addition to indiscriminate mating and non-availability of breeding boar. For genetic improvement of nondescript local pigs and to produce crossbred pigs, AI delivery mechanism was developed in participatory mode including farmers, village leaders, and key persons in 36 villages. The information system was designed in such a way that AI was carried out at the doorstep of the farmer upon request. A total of 167 estrus sow/gilts were artificially inseminated, and a farrowing rate of 78.44 % was obtained with a mean litter size of 7.86 plus or minus 0.65 following AI, which did not differ significantly from natural service. However, the growth rate of crossbred piglets obtained through AI was significantly higher than the growth rate of piglets born out of natural service. The tribal farmers were benefited by AI in several ways: (1) timely availability of superior germplasm to produce crossbred piglets; (2) saved the mating cost of INR 1,000-1,200 and transport of cost (INR 300-400) of female to the boar premises and (3) controlled mating to prevent inbreeding. The present study clearly demonstrates the feasibility and potential benefit of AI technique to smallholder backyard pig production system in tribal rural areas. In addition to genetic improvement of nondescript local pigs, this technology can help in overcoming breeding constraints in smallholder backyard pig production for increasing productivity.

Leaf blight symptoms were observed on Mucuna pruriens plants in October to November 2010 in a field at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research Complex for the Northeastern Hill Region. Umiam, Meghalaya, India. Symptoms included black necrotic areas on leaves, collapsed leaf tissue and, occasionally, fungal growth visible on the leaf. In advanced infections, dead leaves were attached to the stem, followed by defoliation with only infected pods still attached. Approximately 10% of plants were infected in similar to 0.5 ha surveyed. Symptomatic leaf pieces were washed with sterile water, surface-sterilized using 4% NaOCl for 30 s, washed again, blotted dry, and plated on PDA amended with streptomycin (100 ppm). Characteristics of three fungal isolates were typical of Rhizoctonia solani J.G. Kuehn [teleomorph = Thanatephorus cucumeris (A. B. Frank) Donk], i.e., hyphal branching at 90 degree angles, basal constriction at the hyphal branching point with a septum close to the lateral hyphum (3), and presence of multinucleate hyphal cells confirmed using DAPI (2-(4-amidinophenyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxamidine) staining (1). A culture was deposited at the Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, India (NFCCI No. 2602). The ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region of nuclear rDNA of one isolate was sequenced after amplification with primers ITS1 and ITS4 (4), (GenBank Accession No. JQ675536). A BLAST search revealed 99% similarity of the sequence with that of 2 R. solani AG 1-IB isolates (AB122137 and AB000039). Sequences were aligned using MAFT Version 6. Maximum parsimony analysis using MEGA 5 placed the test isolate in AG 1-IB with 99% bootstrap support. PCR assays with primers for R. solani AG 1-IB produced a DNA band of similar to 300 bp (2). Koch's postulates were completed by inoculating 5-mm colonized plugs of PDA at the soil line of each of 5 potted, 40-day-old plants of M. pruriens, and covering the base of each plant with moistened cheesecloth. In addition, 3 plants were inoculated with colonized plugs at the junction of the lamina and petiole of 9 leaves/plant, spraying the plants with sterilized water, and covering the plants with polythene for 3 days. In addition, 10 detached leaves were inoculated with colonized PDA plugs and incubated in a moist chamber. Three non-inoculated plants served as a control treatment for the first 2 methods, and 10 leaves as a control treatment for the third method with sterilized PDA plugs. Symptoms of leaf blight (necrosis from base to leaf tip, with abundant fungal growth) developed in 6 to 7 days on plants inoculated at the soil line. 4 days on leaves inoculated at the junction of the lamina and petiole, and 2 to 3 days on detached leaves. Control plants and leaves remained asymptomatic for all 3 methods. R. solani was reisolated from inoculated plants as described above, and confirmed to be AG 1-IB. The fungus was not reisolated from control plants or leaves. To our knowledge, this is the first record of R. solani AG 1-IB causing leaf blight on M. pruriens in India.

Chemical fertilizers have been indiscriminately used to meet the growing nutrient demand over the past half a century which, of course, boosted the agricultural productivity, but not without its deleterious impact on soil health and sustainability of crop production. Further, economic and environmental concerns associated with the excessive use of chemical fertilizers make it imperative to search for an alternative which can reduce the over-dependence on chemical fertilizers and increase soil health and crop productivity as well. This is particularly important for North East region (NER) of India where inadequate availability of nutrients and soil health-related constraints induced by extreme forms of soil acidity are the major impediments to crop production and food security super(2). As NER has abundant availability of biowaste, such as crop residues, weed biomass, forest litter, animal dung, etc. and use of chemical fertilizers is traditionally minimal, efficient utilization of biowaste could be an important strategy to meet the growing nutrient requirement and improve soil health and productivity in this agriculturally important region.

Escherichia coli were the most frequently (39) isolated followed by Citrobacter freundii (33), Klebsiella pneumonia (27), Salmonella indica (12), Enterobacter gergoviae (12), and Ent. agglomerans (11). Other important bacteria isolated from gecko droppings were Listonella damsela (2), Raoultella terrigena (3), S. salamae (2), S. houtenae (3), Edwardsiella tarda (4), Edwardsiella hoshinae (1), and Klebsiella oxytoca (2). Of the 223 isolates tested for antimicrobial drug sensitivity, 27 (12.1%) had multiple drug resistance (MDR). None of the salmonellae or edwardsiellae had MDR however, MDR strains were significantly more common among Escherichia spp. ( P=1.9 super(10-5) ) and isolates from IFS units ( P=3.58 super(10-23) ). The most effective herbal drug, Ageratum conyzoides extract, inhibited growth of only 27.8% of strains tested followed by ethanolic extract of Zanthoxylum rhetsa (13.9%), eucalyptus oil (5.4%), patchouli oil (5.4%), lemongrass oil (3.6%), and sandalwood oil (3.1%), and Artemisia vulgaris essential oil (3.1%).

Since relatively a new approach particularly for dry-seeded rice and permanent beds for wheat, very little information is known about permanent beds on soil properties, nutrient (N) use efficiency, and system productivity. A field experiment was carried out in a Typic Haplustept soil of New Delhi, India to study the effect of permanent beds on soil hydro-physical properties, root growth, nitrogen uptake, and system productivity of irrigated rice-wheat rotation. Results revealed that direct-seeded rice followed by wheat on permanent beds irrigated at different soil water tensions (field capacity, 20 and 40 kPa) reflected a significant variation in soil hydro-physical properties, reduced total nitrogen uptake, contribution by different plant parts, and N use efficiency compared to wheat after flooded transplanted rice system. Rice root weight density at flowering was also significantly low at 0-15 cm depth but higher at 15-60 cm depth in dry-seeded rice on beds. System productivity of rice-wheat rotation was 25-33% lower in permanent beds compared to flooded transplanted system. For wider acceptability of permanent beds as a promising resource conserving technology, system productivity needs to be improved.

The growth and yield were higher with Mows alba followed by Terminalia myriocarpa. Plant height increased with increasing row proportions, whereas, number of tillers/plant, clump circumference, leaf length and leaf width were significantly decreased. Plant height, clump circumference and number of leaves/plant were significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05) higher in three row proportions. Guinea grass harvested under Moms alba showed higher fodder yield (34.7%), actual fodder sticks (50.0%) and above ground biomass (38.6%) than other tree species. Similarly, three row proportions had 120.5, 149.4 and 127.9% respectively higher yield than one row. Correspondingly, Moms alba had higher soil moisture during both the season, but Michelia oblonga registered higher solar radiation transmission.

Gravel, coconut (Cocos nucifera) fibre and sand were selected as the media and filled in 1:1:1 proportion. A fabric screen made up of woven sisal hemp was used to separate the media. The adsorption behaviour of coir fibre was determined in a series of column and batch studies and the corresponding isotherms were developed. The hydraulic efficiency of the filter showed a diminishing trend as the sediment level in inflow increased. The filter exhibited 100% sediment removal at lower sediment concentrations in inflow water (>6 g L super(-1)). The filter could remove NO super(-) sub(3), SO super(2)- sub(4) and total solids (TS) effectively. Removal percentages of Mg super(2+) and Na super(+) were also found to be good. Similar results were obtained from a field evaluation study. Studies were also conducted to determine the pattern of silt and sediment deposition inside the filter body. The effects of residence time and rate of flow on removal percentages of NO super(-) sub(3) and TS were also investigated out. In addition, a multiple regression equation that mathematically represents the filtration process was developed. Based on estimated annual costs and returns, all financial viability criteria (internal rate of return, net present value and benefit-cost ratio) were found favourable and affordable to farmers for investment in the developed filtration system. The model MUSIC was calibrated and validated for field conditions with respect to the developed stormwater filter.

Symptoms of leaf blight were observed on this plant in October 2010 at Umiam, Meghalaya, India. Symptoms started from the lower leaves and spread to the upper part. Water-soaked lesions covered the whole leaf and gradually the leaves shredded and got detached from the plants. Whole plants were seen defoliated due to severe infection. Lesions were visible on the stem also. The pathogen was isolated on potato dextrose agar amended with streptomycin (100 ppm). Fungus isolated from infected plants had typical characters associated with Rhizoctonia solani J. G. Kuehn [teleomorph Thanatephorus cucumeris (A.B. Frank) Donk], i.e., hyphal ramification angles of similar to 90 degree , basal constriction, and a septum next to the lateral hyphae (2). Nuclear staining with DAPI (2-(4-amidinophenyl)-1H-indole-6-carboxamidine) confirmed that hyphal cells were multinucleate (1). Molecular analysis was conducted using sequence data (JQ675535) containing ITS1 and 5.8S and ITS 2 of nrDNA, which was obtained after amplification using universal primers ITS1 and 4. BLAST search revealed 99 to 100% similarity with AG 1-IB (GU585667, GU270581). Living culture has been deposited in Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, India (NFCCI No. 2601). Phylogenetic analysis was also conducted using MEGA 5. It also placed the isolate in AG 1-IB clade with 99% bootstrap support in MP (maximum parsimony) analysis. Three healthy plants were inoculated using colonized PDA bits from actively growing culture. Sterilized PDA bits were kept on control plants. Plants were sprayed with water and covered with cheesecloth for 3 days. Inoculated plants developed symptoms after 5 days whereas control plants remained healthy. Inoculations were also done on detached leaves kept in a moisture chamber using colonized PDA bits. In this case, symptoms developed within 3 days. Detached leaves with sterilized PDA bits remained healthy. R. solani was also reisolated from inoculated plants. To our knowledge, this is the first record of AG 1-IB based on molecular evidence on B. alba from India. This new host may accelerate the spread of this pathogen to other crops.

It has been construed as the most sustainable method for managing water scarcity situations, incorporating al type of water demands. Though rainwater is considered as a contamination free source, human activities particularly in the industrial and agricultural sectors pollute this pure form of water. The quality of various forms of rainwater, viz. direct rainfall, rooftop water and stormwater were assessed by analysing various physico-chemical parameters. The physico-chemical characteristics of stormwater were further subjected to statistical and correlation analyses. The results showed that the direct rainwater samples collected were pure and safe as drinking water. The surface stormwater runoff samples collected from the study location, which is mainly an urban and industrialised catchment, contained undesirable amount of sediment load and other chemical parameters; most of them are not within safe limits for drinking and irrigation use. The eledricalrortiuctivity and sediment concentration in samples collected from roofs were slightly above the desirable limit for drinking purpose. The mean, standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) of various physico-cheinical parameters of stormwater were computed and compared. Similarly correlation coefficients were worked out to find out the relationship amongst physico-chemical characteristics of the water samples and a large number of significant correlations were obtained.

The performance of the model for the treated watershed was unacceptable with percent deviation of -45.81 and -38.35 respectively for runoff and sediment yield simulations when calibrated parameter values for the nearby untreated watershed were used. This was possibly due to differences in soil properties and average land slope. When soil parameters were calibrated for the treated watershed, the model performance improved remarkably. During calibration, the model simulated surface runoff and sediment yield with percent deviations equal to +6.24 and +9.02, and Nash-Sutcliffe simulation coefficients equal to 0.85 and 0.81, respectively. During validation period, the model simulated runoff and sediment yield with percent deviations equal to +8.56 and +9.36, and Nash-Sutcliffe simulation coefficients equal to 0.81 and 0.80, respectively. The model tended to slightly under-predict runoff and sediment yield of higher magnitudes. The model performance was quite sensitive to soil parameters namely, rill erodibility, interrill erodibility, hydraulic conductivity, critical shear stress and Manning's roughness coefficient with varying levels. The WEPP model picked up the hydrology associated with bund and water-harvesting tank, and simulated runoff and sediment yield well with overall deviations within plus or minus 10% and Nash-Sutcliffe simulation coefficients >0.80. Simulation results indicate that in high slope and high rainfall conditions of eastern Himalayan region of India where vegetative measures are not adequate to restrict soil loss within the permissible limit, the WEPP model can be applied to formulate structure-based management strategies to control soil loss and to develop water resources.

Consequently, the Earth's surface air temperature is also predicted to rise by 2 to 4.5 degree C during the same period, with the most plausible estimate of around 3 degree C in India (IPCC, 2007). Since atmospheric CO sub(2) is the sole source of carbon for plants, and its current concentration is sub-optimum to saturate the photosynthesis, growth and yield responses of C sub(3) crops (e.g. rice and wheat), any further increase in its concentration is expected to increase the productivity of these crops in future (Kimball et al., 2002; Long et al., 2004; Manoj-Kumar and Patra, 2010). However, faster and more vigorous plant growth under elevated CO sub(2) (EC) has to be sustained by sufficient nutrient supply, lack of which has been shown to cause down-regulation of the EC-induced growth stimulation (Campbell and Sage, 2006). Thus, the requirement of various plant nutrients, which are not increasing in soil in unison with the increasing CO sub(2) in atmosphere, is also expected to rise in future (Campbell and Sage, 2002; Norisada et al., 2006; Manoj-Kumar et al., 2011a&b). In such a scenario, availability of P, which is already severely deficient in majority of the agricultural soils in India and the world over (Hasan, 1996; Batjes, 1997), is expected to become a critical factor regulating the extent of crop responses to rising CO sub(2) in future (Khan et al., 2008; Manoj-Kumar, 2010). Adequate soil availability of P would be still more important in tropical and subtropical countries like India where the possible benefits of carbon fertilization under rising CO sub(2) is likely to become a decisive factor in counterbalancing the yield reducing effect of atmospheric warming.

Wilczek) germplasm is essential for scientific assessment of variability and diversity for its better utilization in breeding programs. In this study, 120 accessions of green gram were analysed for 27 Sequence Tagged Microsatellites (STMS) loci. For data analysis, accessions were grouped into Indian and exotic. DNA profiling of the 120 accessions yielded 42 STMS products. The proportion of polymorphic products was 55.56% in Indian accessions and 51.85% in exotic accessions. Average Jaccard's similarity coefficient among all pairs of comparisons was 0.695. In unweighted pair group method of arithmetic averages (UPGMA) dendrogram, 5 major clusters were identified. High similarities among the Indian and exotic accessions were found and this could be due to free movement of Indian germplasm to other countries through international institutes. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) analysis indicated that sampling should be practiced more extensively within populations to capture maximum variation. The study highlighted the need to make more elaborate collections from India to capture the diversity existing in green gram and to go for genetic enhancement for widening of the genetic base of cultivated green gram using wild relatives.

The annual maximum and mean temperature from 1901 to 2003 has increased by 1.02 degree C and 0.60 degree C respectively super(1). The temperature is projected to rise by another 3-5 degree C during the latter third of this century super(2). The most striking evidence of changes in rainfall comes from the drastically reducing amount of rainfall in Cherrapunji, one of the wettest places in the world. Cherrapunji received less rain in the entire year of 2001 (363 inches) than it got in just one month in 1861 (366 inches in July) super(3). The annual rainfall there has now fallen sharply to less than a third of the quantity in the 1860s. The frequent deficits in rainfall and the recurrent droughts in the region further substantiate the climate change-induced alteration in the rainfall pattern. Particularly noteworthy is the projected decline ( similar to 10%) in rabi season rainfall and increase ( similar to 20%) during the rest of the year in the latter half of this century super(2), indicating the possibility of increasing events of high-intensity rainfall in future. Being intricately linked to agricultural productivity, these climatic changes will have definite impacts on food production in NER.

A new theory and methodology that draws from both disciplines can create a shared vocabulary for the production, use, and evaluation of digital historical representations, a broad term that encompasses an array of products such as archives, databases, geospatial visualizations, and mobile applications. This article argues that archival theory, when combined with historiography and technical or computational standards, contributes to a new theory called digital historiography. Digital historiography is defined as the interdisciplinary study of the interaction of digital technology with historical practice. Three archival processes-selection, search, and the application of metadata -- form the theory's foundation for determining a digital historical representation's contextualization, which may aid in assessing its trustworthiness and effectiveness to communicate historical knowledge.

The model was calibrated and validated using field-measured data pertaining to 86 storms of monsoon season 2003 and 98 storms of 2004. The daily simulated runoff and sediment yield of the Umroi watershed for the calibration and validation periods were found to match with their measured counterparts at 95% significance level as shown by the Student's t-tests. The model simulated daily runoff quite well as corroborated by reasonably high Nash-Sutcliffe simulation coefficients of 0.94 and 0.87, low root mean square errors of 1.42 and 1.77mm, and low percent deviations of -1.71 and -3.01, respectively for calibration and validation periods. The performance of the model for simulating daily sediment yield was also quite good with Nash-Sutcliffe simulation coefficients of 0.95 and 0.90, root mean square errors of 0.08 and 0.09Mgha-1 and percent deviations of 3.05 and -5.23, respectively for calibration and validation periods. Subsequently, the calibrated and validated model was used to simulate vegetative (crop, level of fertilization and tillage) and structural (rock-fill check dam and trash barrier) measures and combinations of vegetative and structural control to evaluate their impacts on runoff and sediment yield reduction. Simulations of different vegetative management scenarios indicated that replacing traditional bun agriculture and upland paddy crop with maize, soybean, and peanut would reduce sediment yield by 18.68, 29.60 and 27.70%, respectively. Field cultivator and drill-no-tillage systems have the potential to reduce sediment yield by 13.14 and 21.88%, respectively as compared to the existing practice of spading and country plough. Installation of 8 check dams and 18 trash barriers in the drainage line was predicted to reduce sediment yield from the Umroi watershed substantially with reduction of 54.67%. Simulations of combinations of management practices indicted that soybean and peanut in upland situations with field cultivator or drill-no-tillage system, and structural control in the drainage line has potential to make agriculture sustainable in the Umroi watershed with sediment yield reduction up to 78.40%. The results of the study indicate that the WEPP model can be successfully used for developing conservation management practices in high rainfall and high slope conditions of eastern Himalaya.

However, the period from September to January was more favorable for fructification (BE 51.9 to 76.1%) than from February to August. Black gram pod shell, brihjal twig, maize stalk, paddy straw and pea haulms were more or less equal productive substrates of the mushroom. The yield on pineapple leaf waste (BE 42%) was also considerable. Pea haulms required the shortest time period (19 d) for fruit body production. There was no significant difference between the wheat grain spawn and paddy grain spawn, as well as among the spawns prepared from five different paddy varieties. Cylindrical bed prepared using polypropylene packets were to some extent better than cube and cuboid beds.

A total of seventy respondents were selected randomly from departmental lists and interviewed using structured questionnaires. Key informants such as administration personnel were also interviewed using semi-structured schedules. The results of the study showed that a greater proportion of the technical staff was satisfied with their jobs. Reasons for dissatisfaction include high volume of work, inadequate salaries, allowances, loans to facilitate purchase of housing stands and cars. There is need to craft a responsive incentive package that addresses the concerns of academic staff on issues related to job satisfaction and thus stave off international migration to other countries.

Optimal conditions for cryoprotection, pre-freezing and post-thaw recovery of calli were identified. Cryoprotectant treatment at low temperature, pre-freezing in isopropanol bath for 1h at -70 degree C, rapid thawing and proper removal of cryoprotectant were critical for post-thaw survival. Genetic fidelity of the R1 plants obtained from cryopreserved, cryoprotectant-treated and untreated calli was assessed by phenotypic and molecular characterization. Comparison of phenotypic characters with seed-derived control plants showed no significant variation in the agronomic characters, but seed physical characters showed significant reduction in all the in vitro generated plants. Molecular data generated using 26 rice simple sequence repeat markers showed 4.78-7.25% change from control. Results suggested that both callus induction and cryopreservation induced heritable variations in O. rufipogon. In addition, a combination of phenotypic and molecular characterization using an appropriate marker provided better insight into genetic fidelity of recovered plants.

Productivity of cattle in terms of milk yield was estimated to be considerably higher (3,715, 3,590, and 3,154L) due to strategic anthelmintic treatment as compare to control group (2,928L). Based on the probability of occurrence of parasitic infection as well as increase in value of milk production, the possible economic gain at state level has been estimated to be Rs. 46 million, Rs. 35 million, and Rs. 14 million, depending upon the different strategic treatment. The government may take up the program to educate the cattle farmers on strategic management against parasitic infecion and simultaneously making available various anthelmintic medicines. This public responsibility of the government to minimize the risk and economic loss due to gastrointestinal parasite infection may reduce the private cost and thereby would increase the social benefits in North Eastern states of India.

Intensive natural resources mining, continuous degradation of natural resources (soil, water, vegetation) and practice of monocropping under conventional agricultural practices will not ensure farm productivity and food security in the coming years. In order to keep the production system in different land situations sustainable, conservation agriculture based on no-till system is an alternative to reconcile agriculture with its environment and overcome the imposed constraints of climate change and continuous inputs cost. Studies on conservation tillage and residue management in different land situations were conducted during 2006-2009 and they are highlighted in this article. In terrace upland, growing mustard completely on residual moisture following upland rice/maize was possible when it is practised under conservation tillage (crop residue of all crops, including weed biomass incorporated). Similarly, in valley upland, growing second crop of pea in rice fallow is possible if two-thirds or half of rice residues are retained on the soil surface under zero tillage. A long-term study (2006-2009) revealed that double no-till practice in rice-based system is cost-effective, restored soil organic carbon (70.75%), favoured biological activity (46.7%), conserved water and produced yield (49%) higher than conventional tillage. Therefore, conservation tillage practised in terrace upland, valley upland and low-land situations ensured double-cropping, improved farm income and livelihood in rainfed NE India.

Physiological attributes and yield performance of aerobic rice over conventional flood-irrigated rice need to be assessed while promoting water saving technology. A field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm, ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Umiam (950mmsl), Meghalaya during rainy seasons of 2006 and 2007 under aerobic and flooded conditions with aerobic rice variety collected from IRRI, Philippines. Some important high-yielding varieties (HYVs) recommended for the region were also included in the study. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate the influence of frequent mid-season drainage as a measure of water saving technique besides inducing the pre-conditioning effect on genotypes to withstand water stress during the subsequent growth period of crop ontogeny, (ii) to compare crop performance between aerobic and flooded rice management practices, and (iii) to identify attributes responsible for the yield gap between aerobic and flooded rice. The results revealed that the yield difference between aerobic (average yield, 1.67t/ha) and flooded rice (average yield, 2.31t/ha) ranged from 18.4 to 37.8% (P < 0.05) depending on varieties, highest difference being observed with rice hybrid DRRH 1. Cultivation of rice under aerobic condition resulted in 27.5% yield reduction over flooded rice. Among the yield components assessed, sink size (spikelets per panicle) contributed more to the yield and is considered to be most important factor responsible for yield gap between aerobic and flooded rice. The study suggests that, variety Sahsarang 1 with its moderate values of photosynthesis rate, transpiration rate and water use efficiency (WUE) along with higher grain yield seems to be better choice for both stress (aerobic) as well as normal (flooded) condition. Aerobic rice varieties with minimum yield gap compared to flooded rice is the key for success of aerobic rice cultivation.

His thesis is that the economy and the financial security of the country were unnecessarily jeopardized by the unchecked greed of a few; that at critical moments politics and ideology dominated regulatory decision-making; that the regulators, the invisible government, allowed excess leveraging; that a conflicted Congress emboldened risk-taking at Fannie Me and Freddie Mac; and that problems in commercial bank regulation related less to what Congress did than what it didn't do.

Skin scrapings of these 15 animals were examined by KOH digestion method. Presence of mites were detected in five animals which were indistinguishable from Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis. Infected pigs were treated with a single dose of Ivermectin at 200ug/kg body weight, subcutaneously. No mites were recovered from treated pigs after a period of 10days of post-treatment. The presence of S. scabiei var. suis in pigs from this part of the country has never been reported. This infestation has great significance because it affects the growth rate and feed conversion significantly, specially to the grower and weaned pigs. It can be concluded that S. scabiei var. suis infestation is prevalent in hilly region of Meghalaya. The pig producers are generally unaware about the severity of the problem of mite infestation, so precaution should be taken to prevent their valuable pigs from S. scabiei var. suis infestation.

Soil (n=96), fodder (n=96), and blood serum samples from dairy cattle (n=120) were collected from eight districts of Mizoram, a hilly state in India. The samples were digested using diacid mixture (HNO sub(3):HClO sub(4); 10:4) and analyzed for macro (Ca, P, Mg, Na, and K) and micro (Cu, Co, Mn, Fe, and Zn) mineral concentrations. The macro and micro mineral concentrations varied among the different districts. The correlation values between fodder and cattle were significant for all the minerals studied except for P and K. The correlation value between fodder and cattle was highly significant (P<0.01) for Ca (0.878), Mg (0.88), Cu (0.885), and Zn (0.928). However, such correlations were not observed between the mineral levels in cattle and mineral levels in soil except for Ca (0.782). Equations developed in the present study for prediction of Ca (R super(2)=0.797), Mg (R super(2)=0.777), Zn (R super(2)=0.937), Fe (R super(2)=0.861), and Cu (R super(2)=0.794) had significant R super(2) values. Further, it is inferred that dairy cattle reared under smallholder production system were deficient in most of the minerals and supplementation of required minerals is essential for optimum production.

12661196 AB - Field experiment was conducted in wet land during kharif (June--November) and pre-kharif (January--May) seasons of 2003--2005 at Umiam (950 m MSL), Meghalaya to evaluate the productivity and soil fertility in rice (Oryza sativa L.)-vegetables cropping sequences under low input biomass recycling condition. After rice, five vegetable crops viz., tomato, potato, frenchbean, cabbage and carrot were grown during pre-kharif season on temporary raised beds. Minimum tillage was given to both rice and vegetables. No external input including fertilizer, organic manure, pesticides were applied to both the crops. Only the economic parts of crops were harvested and rest of the entire crop and weed biomass was chopped and incorporated into the soil. Among the five cropping sequences, rice-tomato gave highest rice equivalent yield (21.4 t/ha) followed by rice-carrot (20.6 t/ha). Rice yield in rice -fallow sequence (4.67 t/ha) was significantly higher than rice tomato (3.88 t/ha) and rice-carrot (3.96 t/ha) sequence. The amount of rice straw and vegetables residues that were recycled into the filed ranged from 5.65 to 6.56 t/ha and 0.46 to 3.03 t/ha, respectively. Similarly, a weed biomass of 3.75 to 5.06 t/ha was recycled in different sequences. Soil fertility in terms of available NPK status was stable in all the crop sequences except rice-cabbage, where N status declined slightly.

Khasi Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) and papaya (Carica papaya) are commonly grown in northeast India. Powdery mildew caused by Oidium citri on C. reticulata is reported from northeast India. Earlier it appears that it was incorrectly identified as O. tingitaninum (=Acrosporium tingitaninum). Same is the case with papaya powdery mildew. It has been identified as Golovinomyces (syn. Erysiphe) cichoracearum earlier but according to latest literature it belongs to O. caricae, 0. neolycopersici and G. sonchicola have been detected on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and sowthistle (Sonchus arvensis). Earlier these pathogens were reported as Erysiphe polygoni and G. cichoracearum on tomato and sowthistle.

In July 1900, however, William Dawson Johnston, a former history instructor at Brown University, was hired to edit the series Contributions to American Library History. The first volume in the series, History of the Library of Congress, Volume I, 1800-1864, was published in 1904, followed by two more volumes. Full histories of the library were produced by three staff members of the early and middle years of the twentieth century: Frederick William Ashley, Lucy Salamanca, and David Mearns. The Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress published a series of biographical articles on the eleven Librarians of Congress, from the first Librarian, John James Beckley (1802-1807) through Lawrence Quincy Mumford. In recent years, new appraisals of LC history have appeared, with a few scholars such as Carl Ostrowski producing book-length treatments. Adapted from the source document.

Therefore, it is necessary to understand the growth pattern of different agroforestry tree species so that potential light available to crops under a particular tree is known. The Khasi mandarin (Citrus reticulata) and alder (Alnus nepalensis) show conforming Roux's model of tree architecture. The architecture of pine is similar to Rauh's model. Leaf flushing in alder and Khasi pine (Pinus kesiya) occurs during the months of February and March, while in the case of Khasi mandarin it occurs twice (February and August) in a year. The active shoot growth was observed during February to April in the case of Khasi mandarin and Khasi pine, however, it continued for over four months (February to May) in the case of alder. Leaf fall started during the post-rainy period (October to February) and peaked during the dry winter (January) in Khasi mandarin and alder, but in Khasi pine, it occurred throughout the year with a peak in February. In terms of height growth, the species ranked as Alnus nepalensis> Pinus kesiya> Citrus reticulata, and in terms of growth in diameter (dbh) the order was Pinus kesiya> Alnus nepalensis> Citrus reticulata. The total aboveground biomass was highest in Khasi pine, followed by alder and Khasi mandarin. Bole contributed about 59% to 78% of total aboveground biomass while leaves contributed only about 8% in all the tree species. The fine root biomass in alder and Khasi pine decreased with increase in distance from the tree trunk, but in Khasi mandarin, it showed a reverse trend. The maximum total fine root mass (trees and herbaceous fine root) was recorded in the upper soil layer of Khasi pine-based agroforestry system JF - Journal of Sustainable Agriculture AU - Tomar, JMS AU - Pandey, H N AU - Bhatt, B P AU - Tripathi, R S AD - Agroforestry Division, ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Meghalaya, Umiam, India Y1 - 2009/12// PY - 2009 DA - Dec 2009 SP - 903 EP - 916 PB - Taylor & Francis Group Ltd., 2 Park Square Oxford OX14 4RN UK VL - 33 IS - 8 SN - 1044-0046, 1044-0046 KW - Environment Abstracts; Sustainability Science Abstracts KW - tree architecture KW - aboveground biomass KW - root biomass KW - agroforestry system KW - northeast India KW - Alnus nepalensis KW - Trees KW - sustainable agriculture KW - Biomass KW - Crops KW - India KW - agroforestry KW - Soil KW - Growth KW - winter KW - Behavior KW - shoots KW - Citrus reticulata KW - Pinus kesiya KW - canopies KW - ENA 06:Food & Drugs KW - M3 1010:Issues in Sustainable Development UR - http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/21300054?accountid=14244 L2 - http://vb3lk7eb4t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/ProQ%3Assamodule&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Journal+of+Sustainable+Agriculture&rft.atitle=Growth+Behavior+of+Selected+Agroforestry+Tree+Species+under+the+Hilly+Ecosystem+of+Northeast+India-An+Expanding+Role+for+Agroforestry&rft.au=Tomar%2C+JMS%3BPandey%2C+H+N%3BBhatt%2C+B+P%3BTripathi%2C+R+S&rft.aulast=Tomar&rft.aufirst=JMS&rft.date=2009-12-01&rft.volume=33&rft.issue=8&rft.spage=903&rft.isbn=&rft.btitle=&rft.title=Journal+of+Sustainable+Agriculture&rft.issn=10440046&rft_id=info:doi/10.1080%2F10440040903303827 LA - English DB - ProQuest Environmental Science Collection N1 - Date revised - 2010-02-01 N1 - Last updated - 2015-03-31 N1 - SubjectsTermNotLitGenreText - Soil; Growth; winter; Behavior; Trees; sustainable agriculture; shoots; Biomass; Crops; canopies; agroforestry; Alnus nepalensis; Citrus reticulata; Pinus kesiya; India DO - http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10440040903303827 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Effect of Organic Amendments on Productivity of Rice (Oryza sativa) Based Cropping Systems under Upland Rainfed Ecology in Tripura AN - 21275494; 11842617 AB - Field experiments were conducted in soils of upland rainfed ecology in Tripura to study the efficacy of various organic amendments on rice based cropping systems. The superiority of oilcakes in augmenting the productivity of upland rice was noted with 71 to 81% and 89 to 138% increase in grain and dry matter yield over control, respectively. Vermicompost at 60 kg N/ha showed a substantially high efficacy in enhancing the productivity of rice-feld pea crop rotation but cattle manure (30 kg N/ha) in combination with 50 and 25% NPK could raise the maximum productivity in rice and field pea, respectively. Through mis combined dose of cattle manure and NPK, N-use efficiency was raised to 32 kg rice grain and 8 kg field pea pod/kg N applied. There was a tangible rise in nutrient availability and its uptake by crops in organic amendment treated soils. Nutrient budget in rice-field pea crop rotation showed nutrient surplus in gliricidia and cattle manure treated soils and nutrient shortage in soils treated with vermicompost atone. So the supplementation of inorganic fertilizers may be adopted to replenish nutrient shortage.

The hypothesis initially focused on prenatal stressors as indicated by birth weight and related outcomes. This initial concern with the fetal phase of development led to its description as the fetal programming or fetal origins hypothesis. The realization that stressors in the postnatal phase had similar impacts on adult health has led to its latest characterization as the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease Hypothesis (DOHaD). In this paper, we review the history and evidence in support of the DOHaD hypothesis. We then introduce an untapped source of information on early life stress: enamel hypoplasias and other developmental defects of enamel. Enamel defects are nearly indelible records of physiological perturbations, or stress, to developing ameloblasts (enamel-forming cells). Furthermore, the location of the defects translates to specific periods of growth, providing a permanent temporal record of early life stressors from in utero to approximately twelve years of age. As we discuss, a handful of studies of different populations reveals that individuals with enamel defects that developed in utero and early in infant-childhood development tend to be subject to earlier adolescent or adult mortality.

Using a novel Resource Cost Ratio (RCR), this study analyzes resource use efficiency and social profitability of an integrated aqua farm located in Tripura, India. RCR, a variant of the Domestic Resource Cost Ratio (DRCR), is the ratio of the net cost of non-marketable resources and the net value addition by using marketable resources. The RCR for the integrated farm was found to be -0.24. The negative value of RCR shows positive profitability for the integrated farm. The corresponding value for a specialized farm was found to be 0.52. The difference is the greater resource use efficiency of the integrated approach. Private and social profits per unit cost for the integrated farm (0.26 and 0.08, respectively) were higher than for the specialized farm (0.11 and 0.04, respectively).

Results revealed that the pig production system represented mixed farming based mainly on the common property resources. Majority of the pigs were reared in intensive system and fed with home made cooked feed (kitchen waste and locally available plants). The body weight of crossbred, Burmese and local pigs were 67, 65.4 and 45.6kg, respectively at 12months of age with average daily body weight of 184, 179 and 125g, respectively. The overall mortality among the pigs was 17.96%. The major causes of mortality in pigs were Swine fever, Swine erysipelas, digestive disorders, nephritis and respiratory disorders. The body weight gain in pigs subjected to deworming and mineral mixture supplementation (218g/day) was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the control group (178g/day). The input output ratio was 1:1.7 for both crossbred and Burmese pigs, while the corresponding ratio for local pigs was 1:1.2. It is inferred that the smallholder resource driven pig production system is economically viable and sustainable at household level and there is enough scope to improve the smallholder resource driven pig production system.

Natural resources in terms of soil, water, vegetation, and soil organic carbon (SOC) are much degraded. Effects of long-term perennial grasses maintained at a permanent fodder block of the ICAR Research Complex, Meghalaya, on soil quality were examined after 15 cropping cycles. The aims were (i) to ascertain whether perennial grass primarily maintained as fodder source for ruminants could conserve resources and improve soil quality in the hilly ecosystem of North-East India, and (ii) to select a suitable perennial grass to minimise land degradation, restore SOC, and improve the soil quality. Soil samples were collected in 2007-08 (dry season) from plots of 8 perennial grasses [Setaria sphacelata (setaria), Brachieria rosenesis (congosignal), Thysanolaena maxima (broom), Penicum maximum var. Makunia and var. Hamil (guinea), Pennisetum purpureum (napier), Paspalum conjugalum (paspalam), Arachis pintoi (wild groundnut)] and analysed for physical, chemical, and biological properties. A control plot had no grass cover. Hamil and Makunia produced a large amount of green fodder, while Makunia, paspalam, setaria, and congosignal had greatest root biomass. Relative to the control, soil under perennial grasses showed increases of ~30% SOC, 70% mean weight diameter, 20% available soil water, 40% hydraulic conductivity, 63% infiltration rate, and 10% soil microbial biomass carbon. Among grasses, soil under setaria, congosignal, and Makunia had higher values of these attributes than under other species because of better soil binding through an extensive root system. Improvement of soil physical properties and processes under these grasses, coupled with complete ground cover, reduced soil erosion by ~33% and also signified ecological benefits through C-sequestration. Soil quality management in the fragile ecosystem of North-East India should include permanent pastural grasses, particularly, setaria, congosignal, and Makunia.

A field experiment on double cropping of rice was conducted under mid-altitude subtropical wetland valley ecosystem of Meghalaya from 2004-05 to 2005-06 at Umiam (950 m amsl), Meghalaya. Out of the six varieties tested, IR-64 (43.2 q/ha), Aerobic rice IR 72176 (42.1 q/ha) and Krishna Hamsha (40.5 q/ha) performed well during pre-kharif season. Double cropping (main + ratoon) of IR-64 produced 75.4 q/ha of grain yield compared to 40.5 q/ha under improved monocropping of rice variety Sahsarang-1. Ratooning could save time (nursery and field preparation, transplanting, etc.), resources (labour, seeds, etc.) and gave higher productivity. The ratooning ability of Sahsarang-1 (33.0 q/ha) and IR-64 (32.2 q/ha) was found to be highly promising. The sequence IR-64 in pre-kharif followed by its ratoon also gave 86 and 202% higher productivity over improved (40.5 q/ha) and local practice (25.0 q/ha) of monocropping respectively. It was found equally good with the best combination of IR-64 in pre-kharif followed by late kharif transplanted crop of Vivek Dhan-82 (system productivity of 80.4 q grain/ha). Duration of main crop varied from 135 to 158 days, whereas in case of ratoon it varied from 70 to 95 days. Therefore, it was concluded that ratooning has ample opportunity, especially in the NER region of India, where climatic conditions and non-availability of resources restrict the double cropping of rice by the farmers. The practice of double cropping would not only add to the national food basket, but would also increase the farmers' income and generate more employment in the region.

No significant difference was observed in total protein and albumin levels between any two breed/types of pigs, however the Indigenous pigs showed significantly (P<0.05) higher cholesterol level compared to other two breeds. Among different plants, Spilanthus sp had majority of macro and micro nutrients in high levels. Regarding incidence of mineral deficiency in pigs, it was observed that 90, 67.1, 61.4, 48.6, 95.7% of the pigs were deficient in calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium and potassium. An interesting finding was that all the pigs (100%) utilized in the study were deficient in zinc. From this study, it was inferred that there are good numbers of potential source of mineral that might be used more economically to improve the mineral availability to pigs.

9081000 AB - The present study assessed the benefits of integration of animals with fish production in optimizing the bio mass production from unit land in subtropical hill agro ecosystem. Hampshire pigs and Khaki Campbell ducks were integrated with composite fish culture. The pig and duck excreta were directly allowed into the pond and no supplementary feed was given to fish during the period of study. The average levels of N, P and K in dried pig and duck manure were 0.9, 0.7 and 0.6 per cent and 1.3, 0.6 and 0.5 per cent, respectively. The average body weight of pig and duck at 11 months age was 90 and 1.74 kg with an average daily weight gain of 333.33 and 6.44 g, respectively. The fish production in pig-fish and duck-fish systems were 2209 and 2964 kg/ha, respectively while the fish productivity in control pond was only 820 kg/ha. The total biomass (animal and fish) production was higher (p[Lt]0.05) in commercial feeding system compared to the traditional system, however the input/output ratio was 1:1.2 and 1:1.55 for commercial and traditional systems, respectively. It was inferred that the total biomass production per unit land was high (p[Lt]0.05) when animal and fish were integrated together.

Certain diseases have haunted humanity for centuries but are now extinct due to vaccines. On the other hand, some diseases such as salmonellosis, that were uncontrollable in the past, still cause pandemics today. There are more than 2500 serovars of Salmonella and vaccines made from any one serovar do not confer cross- protection against another, no matter how much antigenic similarity there is between the two. Salmonella strains are able to cause disease and to adapt to different types of animals whilst still maintaining their zoonotic and interspecies transfer potential. Three major types of vaccines are being used to control salmonellosis: killed bacteria, subunit vaccines and live attenuated vaccines. Effective vaccines against some host adapted and common serovars have been developed but their use has led to the emergence of other serovars. The problem has become more complex because increased international trade and travel has helped Salmonella strains to cross continental boundaries. It seems unlikely that we will be able to develop an effective Salmonella vaccine in the near future that is able to control all forms of salmonellosis, even in a single animal species. Recent advances in Salmonella vaccines will be reviewed including the use of Salmonella as vector for delivery of multivalent DNA and recombinant vaccines for controlling salmonellosis and other infectious diseases as well as for the control of cancer.

Recently, the unsustainability of this system has owing to soil structural deterioration and nutrient depletion, become evident, resulting from continuous puddling on the same piece of land even if recommended inorganic fertilizers have been applying regularly. To regenerate and maintain soil structure in rice fields, farmers in this region frequently use farm yard manure (FYM), but low availability of FYM because of its other uses indicates that it could not meet the organic matter requirements of this system. We evaluated the long-term effects of different locally available jungle grasses and weeds on soil hydro-physical properties and rice yield through a 5-year field experiment (2000 to 2005) at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Complex for North Eastern Hilly (NEH) Region, Umiam, Meghalaya, India and also compared their negative or positive effects with FYM in acidic, Typic Hapludalf soil. The objective was to determine whether locally available grasses (Jungle grass) and weeds (Ambrosia sp.) could be used as alternative sources of organic materials for lowland rice in scarcity of FYM. Results showed that incorporation of FYM or jungle grass or Ambrosia sp., continuously for 5 years in puddled rice soil improved soil organic carbon (SOC) by 21.1%; the stability of micro-aggregates, moisture retention capacity, and infiltration rate of the soil by 82.5, 10, and 31.3%, respectively; and soil bulk density decreased by 12.6%. Application of FYM produced better soil physical environment than that under jungle grass and Ambrosia sp. However, as these grasses and weeds contained higher nutrient levels than FYM and increased the SOC slowly, these organics may serve as alternative to FYM and may have a dramatic effect on long-term productivity of rice. The gradual improvement in soil physical properties led to a significantly higher yield of rice. We conclude that applying organic manure or organic residue annually may mitigate the negative effect of puddling and related properties and therefore could contribute to the sustainability of the wetland rice ecosystem.

A total number of 160 farmers were surveyed and traditional fodders were evaluated for proximate composition. Total protein, albumin and cholesterol concentrations in blood serum were analyzed. The age at first service, age at first calving, calving interval, calving to first service and calving to conception interval were calculated from records of 261 crossbred dairy cows. The crude protein, crude fiber, nitrogen free extract, ether extract and total ash content varied from 7.2 to 13.9, 18.2 to 34.4, 39.1 to 59.2, 2.1 to 4.1 and 7.2 to 17.9%, respectively. The total protein and albumin concentrations in blood serum were 7.6 plus or minus 0.3 and 4.3 plus or minus 0.3 g/dl, respectively. The cholesterol concentration was 221.1 plus or minus 8.2mg/dl. The mean age at first service and age at first calving was 28.6 plus or minus 1.0 and 40.7 plus or minus 1.1months, respectively. The mean values for calving to first service and calving to conception intervals were 182 plus or minus 14.5 and 224 plus or minus 9.0days, respectively. The conception rate was significantly high among the cows that showed typical fern pattern of cervical mucus (56.6%). The conception rate based on 1st insemination was 44.4%. The incidence of repeat breeders and anestrus among the crossbred cows were 12.8 and 14.1%, respectively.

A pot culture experiment was conducted with soils of Bapung during kharif seasons of 2005 and 2006 to compare the performance of three upland rice varieties, namely, Khaw Saw (traditional variety widely grown in Jaintia Hills), Bhalum-1 (RCPL 1-27) and Bhalum-2 (RCPL 1-29) under the treatments of FYM and lime. Although the traditional variety recorded higher leaf area index (LAI) and straw yield than other two varieties, but grain yield of RCPL 1-29 was higher than RCPL 1-27 and Khaw Saw by 4.034 and 8.928 g/plant, respectively. Application of FYM and lime improved both growth and yield of rice through increase of soil pH, available nutrients and organic carbon content of soil. FYM and lime increased grain yield by 4.374 and 5.691 g/ plant, respectively, over control.

One of the major climatic inputs for SPAW model is pan evaporation, which in many places is not readily available. To address the above, and to get the benefit of this model in regions characterized by limited weather data availability, this study was undertaken using computed ET sub(0) from air temperature by the 1985 Hargreaves equation, as one of the inputs in place of pan evaporation. For the purpose, actual air temperature collected from experimental farm area, as well as forecast air temperature collected from National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting, Government of India, were used. First, the SPAW model was calibrated and its performance was evaluated under wheat, taking layerwise and profile soil moisture as the variables for comparison between the predicted and observed values. The results showed that the root-mean-square error (RMSE) varied from 0.30 to 0.58 cm for measured values ranging between 2.24 and 4.25 cm. The index of agreement (d) varied from 0.81 to 0.92 and coefficient of determination (r super(2)) from 0.46 to 0.73 for 0-15, 15-30, 30-45, and 45-60 cm soil depths. For the whole 60 cm profile, the RMSE was 1.07 cm with d and r super(2) values of 0.94 and 0.85 respectively. The RMSE and d varied from 0.36 to 0.63 cm and 0.77 to 0.89 respectively when ET sub(0) computed from actual air temperature was used in place of pan evaporation, where as when ET sub(0) computed from forecast air temperature data was used, the corresponding values were 0.35-0.64 cm and 0.68-0.85 respectively for the four soil layers. There was a tendency of the models to underestimate when the computed ET sub(0) was used as input in place of pan evaporation. In general, performance of the models were better at lower depths.

Tree biomass constituted 22.8, 15.8, 42.5, 47.8 and 78.8 per cent of annual turn over of total plant biomass under mixed block forest, silvipasture, silvi-horti system, self regenerated forest and timber farming based land use systems, respectively. Annual turn over of total plant biomass of five tree land use systems was 6.02, 31.01, 27.77, 19.44 and 18.66 t/ha/year under mixed block forest, silvopasture, silvohorti system, self regenerated forest and timber farming, respectively. Community and individual owned lands abandoned after shifting cultivation was regenerated into a good forest of 409 trees/ha by protection from biotic interference. Net return obtained under five land use systems, was recorded highest under timber farming (Rs.1,61,851/ha) followed by silvi horti system (Rs. 80,713/ha) and self regenerated forest (Rs. 66,042/ha). However, return on per rupee investment was highest under self regenerated forest (Rs. 6.03) followed by timber farming (Rs. 5.79) and silvohorti systems (Rs. 3.51). Inclusion of livestock had set positive link on sustainability of silvopasture developed on uncultivable hill slope on the farm which supplemented farm income by rearing goats. Tree based land uses maintained the soil loss within permissible limit, improved soil physico-chemical properties and retained 80 to 100% rainwater within the micro-watersheds by reducing peak runoff.

An experiment was conducted during 2003--05 to study the performance of orchard planted under various slopes on eleven year-old bearing trees of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Bombai. Three sloppy conditions were identified as treatments, viz. gentle, moderate and steep, with five replications under a randomized block design. The effect of slopes was recorded significantly on flowering, fruiting, fruit quality and fruit yield. However, the slopes beyond 10% are not suitable for quality production of litchi. It can be concluded mat cultivation under gentle and moderate slopes is suitable for better fruiting and quality fruits and better return from litchi orchards under rain fed condition of Tripura.

The rainwater harvesting can be implemented as a viable alternative to conventional water supply or on-farm irrigation projects. Storing of rainwater can be done in two ways: (i) storing in an artificial storage and (ii) storing in the soil media as groundwater. The rainwater or run-off can be harvested using eco-friendly low-cost technologies such as uv-resistant plastic lined ponds, ferro-cement tanks, etc. and used for multiple purposes.

It is used as a cut flower, which lasts for 4 to 5 weeks. This species is considered endangered and rare in nature. In June of 2007, potted plants of P. tankervilliae in Shillong, Meghalaya (northeast India; maximum temperature 24C, minimum temperature 18C, and 83.5% relative humidity) exhibited leaf blight. Symptoms included water-soaked lesions and dense, gray mold growing on infected tissues. Thirty-six percent of the plants surveyed were found to have this disease. For isolation, diseased tissue was surface disinfested by soaking it in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for 1 min, air dried, plated on potato dextrose agar, and incubated at 20C. Mycelia were initially white but later turned gray. Mature, unicellular, ellipsoid, hyaline conidia (6.3 to 8.2 x 9.6 to 11.4 km) were formed in botryose heads. Hard, black, irregular-shaped sclerotia (average size 1.8 x 2.3 mm) were formed after 15 days. On the basis of these morphological characters, the pathogen was identified as Botrytis cinerea Pers.:Fr. (1). Pathogenicity was confirmed by spraying plants with a spore suspension (10 super(6) spores per ml), which were then maintained under high humidity for 48 h at 20 to 22C by covering with cheesecloth. Five potted plants were inoculated and five were sprayed with sterile water. Lesions and spore masses that were identical to those observed appeared 5 to 6 days after inoculation. Water-treated control plants remained asymptomatic. B. cinerea was reisolated from inoculated plants. A literature search revealed no previous record of this disease in India. So, to our knowledge, this is the first record of B. cinerea on P. tankervilliae in India.

AN - 69533603; 18634162 AB - To investigate the accumulation of methotrexate (MTX) in circulating erythrocytes and the association with pharmacokinetic variables, weekly dose, and clinical efficacy in 2 cohorts of patients with chronic active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) undergoing MTX monotherapy. Seventy-six patients with RA were included in this open prospective study: 40 were included before initiation of MTX therapy. Laboratory analyses, intracellular MTX concentrations in erythrocytes (Ery-MTX), and clinical examinations including toxicity data were performed prospectively for 52 weeks. Plasma concentrations of MTX were measured and area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) was estimated along with other pharmacokinetic variables in a population based software model. Ery-MTX rose after initiation of therapy and reached a steady state after 6-8 weeks. The correlation between steady-state Ery-MTX and dose was poor (r(2) = 0.16), whereas steady-state Ery-MTX levels correlated strongly with the estimated AUC (r(2) = 0.51, log-transformed variables). Both steady-state Ery-MTX levels and estimated AUC were significantly higher in patients responding to MTX therapy than in patients classified as nonresponders according to American College of Rheumatology core criteria and were similar to patients on longterm MTX therapy. Our results indicate that clinical efficacy and Ery-MTX may have a causal relation and that measurement of Ery-MTX or estimation of AUC in a software model provides useful guidelines to the clinician when starting MTX therapy in patients with RA. The latter can be performed immediately after initiation of therapy.

Millsp. AN - 21025604; 8543127 AB - Correlation and path coefficient analysis were studied in 29 genotypes of pigeonpea for 11 agro-morphological characters. Seed yield per plant exhibited positive and significant correlation with pods per plant and harvest index. This result indicated more number of pods per plant and harvest index tend to contribute towards higher yield potential. The genotypic correlation coefficients of selected ten characters with seed yield were partitioned into direct and indirect causes. Path analysis revealed that pods per plant, 100-seed weight and harvest index are main components of seed yield. Hence, more emphasis should be given on these component characters in selection program aimed at development of high yielding genotypes of pigeonpea.

Results revealed that a significantly (p; 0.05) higher number of farmers used temporary, non-conventional poultry houses made of locally available materials, such as bamboo and wood. Most of the farmers (65.9 %) did not provide balanced feed to their poultry and did not vaccinate their birds against any disease. Under standard management conditions, the average body weight of Vanaraja birds at 6 weeks was 625 plus or minus 10.9 g. Under backyard conditions, the body weight at 18 months was 3.6 plus or minus 0.8 kg. The age at first egg was 154 plus or minus 9 days in the backyard system, whereas under the intensive system it was 196 plus or minus 4 days. Annual production under the backyard and intensive systems of rearing was 176 plus or minus 9 and 152 plus or minus 7 eggs, respectively. Mortality of adult birds was 12 % and predation by foxes and wild cats accounted for 1.67 %. This study revealed that village chickens are an important income source for household expenses, and that traditional free-range poultry production in the smallholder sector of developing countries can possibly be improved through the use of improved dual-purpose birds.

Tocqueville's Democracy in America is widely praised for its insight into these tensions and the solutions it proposes to them. Yet Tocqueville's portrayal of American culture has come under critical scrutiny for, among other things, its inability to offer a path to genuine reform when it comes to slavery and the inequality of women. By expanding on Adam Smith's moral theory of sympathy, Harriet Martineau's account of nascent American democracy in Society in America offers a more constructive view of America's ability to reconcile the needs of unity and plurality and of its capacity for democratic reform, especially regarding slavery and the inequality of women. Martineau's analysis offers valuable lessons about the ability of democratic majorities to correct moral injustices.

Rabbit, a micro-livestock, can be reared on green grass, tree leaves and kitchen waste. Performance of broiler rabbit breeds under village condition and its adoptability by the farmers were studied in the hilly terrain of Meghalaya. The study revealed that production performance of two broiler breed at fanners filed and organized farm were almost parallel in similar management and feeding system. But some reproductive traits like age at first kindling litter size at birth and weaning; litter weight at birth and weaning and individual weight at weaning were significantly varied between two systems of rearing within the breed. Results also indicated that adoption percentage of rabbit rearing and management practices were also high.

Sacc., produced its fruit bodies in every month during April 2005 to March 2007 under in-house condition of Tripura. However, the period from September to January was more favorable for fructification (BE 64.8 to 88.7%), with optimum production of fruit bodies (BE 80.3 to 88.7%) during November and December. The prevailing climatic factors, like, monthly average of daily maximum temperature, monthly average of daily minimum temperature, monthly average of daily RH at morning, monthly average of daily RH at afternoon, total monthly rainfall and number of rainy days in a month, affected mushroom yield significantly. Spawn prepared from pileus tissue culture was more productive than that from multi-spore cultures. Both wheat and paddy grain spawn media were equally effective in producing fruit bodies. Saw dusts of Trema orientalis (Ban Naichcha, Chikun) was the most effective for fruit body formation, while Gmelina arborea (Gamai, Gamair) was the least one, although, in all cases biological efficiency of saw dust was less than mat of paddy straw.

The effectiveness of six different organic nutrient sources viz. farmyard manure (FYM), vermicompost, poultry manure, pig manure, goat manure and azolla compost, generated and recycled within the IIFS, were assessed and compared with that of chemical fertilizer. The maximum pod yield (29.46q/ha) and shelling percentage (79.26) were recorded with application of chemial fertilizer at recommended dose (30: 50: 40 kg N, P sub(2)O sub(5), K sub(2)O/ha), which was at par with application of azolla compost at 10 t/ha. Maximum uptake of plant nutrients (58.56 kg N, 28.66 kg P, 36.78 kg K) was also recorded with application of chemical fertilizer at recommended dose. Out of the six different organic nutrient sources tested, azolla compost occupied the first position in terms of uptake of plant nutrients. The superiority of organic nutrient sources was reflected in residual soil fertility status after harvest of the crop. The maximum residual soil nitrogen (282.36 kg/ha) and potash 008.64 kg/ha) content was recorded with application of azolla compost, which was significantly higher than application of chemical fertilizer at recommended dose. Similarly, the maximum residual soil phosphorus content (19.82 kg/ha) recorded under application of poultry manure was also significantly higher than that recorded with application of chemical fertilizer at recommended dose.

The region is characterized by difficult hilly terrain, undulating topography, high rainfall and prevalence of primitive forms of food production systems - shifting cultivation and bun cultivation. These factors contribute to the accelerated soil erosion and runoff from the agricultural fields. Because of economic constraints and for some biophysical limitations, agriculture in the region is mainly on subsistence level. Apart from these, farmers of certain locality in the region are adopting some indigenous technical knowledge for conservation soil and water and to enhance the soil productivity. Zabo system in Nagaland, rice cultivation in Apatani plateau of Arunachal Pradesh, bamboo drip irrigation system in Meghalaya, agriculture with alder trees in Nagaland, and rice cultivation in terraced lard-Panikheti in Nagaland and Dhankheti in Sikkim are some of the examples of excellent application of indigenous technical knowledge in resource conservation. Paddling of the bottom of the water harvesting and then plastering the bottom and sides of the pond with paste of clay, rice husk and cowdung help retain the water during the dry period. These systems envisage some typical soil and water management practices which have stood the test of time. These systems were developed by the local tribal farmers through their ingenuity and skill based on their long experience from generations to generations under existing soil, climate and remote situations prevailing in the region. Use of locally available materials and organic source of nutrients make these systems sustainable. Unfortunately these traditional knowledge remained confined to their place of origin. These indigenous knowledge adopted in the production system need to be refined on the basis of latest know-how with the involvement of the local people for identifying the problems of resource degradation, constraints and opportunities for sustainable management of resources.

Sequence AN - 19810450; 8130964 AB - The experiment was made to study the direct and residual effects of organic manures on crop performance and soil fertility in a groundnut-corn sequence, with four organic manures (FYM, poultry manure, vermicompost and sewage sludge) and single super phosphate as the inorganic fertilizer. Organic manures were applied on equal P basis at 34 kg P/ha. The six treatments, including control, were replicated four times in a completely randomized design. In both the crops, the organic sources had a significant effect on micronutrient uptake and soil fertility as compared to inorganic and control. Sewage sludge registered highest Fe uptake (2,250.7 mu g/pot) in groundnut kernel, whereas Zn uptake from the poultry manure was highest (1,115 mu g/pot). The residual effect of organic manures on the subsequent crop corn was significant than inorganic fertilizer. The residual effect of organic manures was evident in the available major and micronutrient status of soil and also with respect to nutrient uptake, particularly micronutrient uptake by the second crop.

The soil pH was maintained in all the AFS except silvi-hortipastoral system, but the same system registered maximum organic carbon content (2.19%), while agrisilviculture and agrihorticulture AFS recorded lower organic carbon content compared to control. The base saturation percentage and effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) were higher by 6.5 to 63.6 and 23.3 to 111.7%, respectively, over control in different AFS. All the systems except multistoreyed AFS had higher values of different forms of acidity as compared to control. Multistoreyed AFS registered maximum values of available N, NH super(+) sub(4) -N, NO, super(-) -N and mineral N among all the systems, although total N content was quite low (0.18%) as compared to other systems such as control (0.19%), agrihorticulture and silvihortipastoral AFS (0.20%) indicating, higher rate of N mineralization in this system. Organic carbon, ECEC, exchangeable bases and base saturation had positive correlation with all forms of Nand all the forms of N were significantly correlated with each other.

Incubation period was longest i.e. 8.5 days at 6-hour duration and decreased to 6.3 days at 18-hour duration. Whereas in latent period it was maximum at 6 hours and minimum at 24 hours. Curve estimation revealed that linear equations are least effective in explaining the variation since they had small values of R super(2) for incubation (0.432) and latent periods (0.338). Whereas cubic equation explained the variation to maximum extent in incubation (0.71) and latent period (0.69).

Total, exchangeable and pH dependent acidities decreased after closed burning of plant biomass under bun farming, maximum decrease (87%) being recorded in exchangeable acidity, but the values of acidities after two years of bun cultivation were in the same range to their initial values. Soils under terrace land recorded the highest values of all kinds of acidity. Closed burning under bun cultivation resulted manifold increase in Ca-P and Saloid-P and 38.3% increase in Fe-P white Al-P decreased by more than 9 times. The dominant forms of inorganic P were Fe-P, reductant soluble P and occluded-P (97%) and existed in the order of reductant soluble P>occluded P> Fe-P under various land use systems on sloppy lands. Terrace cultivation was superior and sustainable system of cultivation compared to bun system of cultivation in hill slopes of Meghalaya.

The net amount of nitrogen that may leach beyond the root zone is determined by the free movement of urea as such through the soil, its transformation into NH super(+) sub(4)-N and its subsequent retention on soil complex. Therefore the methods of application, quantity of subsequent rainfall, time interval between rainfall and fertilizer application may markedly influence the leaching behaviour of urea and thereby its efficiency. Among these factors, the time and quantity of rainfall cannot be controlled. The method of application, therefore, is the only variable, which can be manipulated for efficient use of urea. The present study was therefore, undertaken to evaluate the effects of various methods of urea application, amount of water application on the soil with a view to develope a suitable management practice for higher N efficiency in this agro-climatic zone.

Among the various cultural practices tested, line sowing (60 kg seed/ha) + FYM 5t/ha 15 days before sowing + 50% N application 15 days after sowing (DAS) and 25% at maximum tillering + 25% at panicle initiation stage along with full dose of P and K recorded highest grain (30.5 q/ha) and straw yield (43.2 q/ha) of rice. Line sowing (60 kg seed/ha) + recommended dose of fertilizer (60: 60: 40 kg NPK/ha) + green manuring (2: 1) of soybean and turning down the same into the soil at 30 days after sowing was found to be equally effective. Application of recommended dose of nutrients with local practice of broadcasting (100 kg seed/ ha) resulted substantial improvement in growth, yield attributes and grain yield of rice. Line sowing and use of optimum seed rate (60 kg/ha) was found to be superior to broadcasting of high seed rate.

In the absence of major and medium irrigation potential/facilities, the alternative method is to explore minor irrigation potential through effective water-conservation measures. A low-cost rainwater harvesting structure called Jalkund of varying capacity (6000-30,0001 of water) has been developed for the hilltops at the ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Umiam, Meghalaya. However, farmers may have option for the capacity according to their water requirement for the crop intended to be cultivated and also for diversified use of stored water in various farm activities like crop, livestock and fish production during post-rainy season (stress period). The Jalkund was made up of clay and cow-dung plastering followed by 3-5 cm cushioning with dry pine leaf, laying down of 250 mu m LDPE black agri-film and covering with 5-8 cm bamboo thatch. The study revealed that the cost/l of stored water was Rs 0.14 during the first year considering Rs 4205 of total cost which came down to Rs 0.046/l of stored water during the third year owing to negligible maintenance cost. Feedback from beneficiaries envisages that 30,000 l of stored water in Jalkund could support 200 tomato plants, rear five piglets or two ducks or 50 poultry birds along with reasonable amount of fish seedling from November to April. Using stored water economically in various farm activities is the most acceptable and profitable one particularly to those in the hilltops, who are the worst sufferers due to water scarcity. This economically viable and easily adoptable technology needs to be popularized among large sectors of farmers.

The eight treatments consisted of sole application of three organic manures viz., FYM, rabbit manure and pig manure at 10t/ha and their combinations at 5t/ha with 50% NPK and was compared with 100% NPK and control. The results revealed mat integrated application of 50% NPK along with rabbit manure at 5t/ha recorded significantly higher growth, yield attributes and seed yield (17.67 q/ha) of black gram compared to control (7.69 q/ha) but remained at par with integrated application of 50% NPK along with pig manure or FYM at 5t/ha. Application of all the organic manures at 10 t/ha recorded pod yield and seed yield at par with each other but was found statistically superior to control. Application of rabbit manure, pig manure or FYM individually at 10t/ha or their integration at 5t/ha along with 50% NPK could improve or maintain the available NPK status of the soil. Therefore, integrated application of organic manures along with reduced dose (50%) of NPK is recommended for higher productivity of black gram.

Raised beds (15 cm) without bunds produced better maize grain and straw yield (44.1 and 31.9 q/ha, respectively) than flat beds and side bunded beds. However, raised bed with full recommended N dose had most significant effect on crop performance over the other treatments. Available soil moisture was highest in raised beds (0.243 cm super(3)/cm super(3)) followed by bunded beds (0.234 cm super(3)/cm super(3)) and flat beds (0.215 cm super(3)/cm super(3)). The soil moisture retention- transmission characteristics were also found to be superior under raised bed than the other treatments. Raised bed system was very effective for rainfed maize production in comparison to other soil moisture conservation practices.

The geometric stratification method is an approximation, whereas the other two approaches, which employ numerical methods to perform stratification, may be seen as optimal stratification methods. The algorithm of the geometric stratification is very simple compared to the two other approaches, but it does not take into account the construction of a take-all stratum, which is usually constructed when a positively skewed population is stratified. In the optimization-based stratification, one may consider any form of optimization function and its constraints. In a comparative numerical study based on five positively skewed artificial populations, the optimization approach was more efficient in each of the cases studied compared to the geometric stratification. In addition, the geometric and optimization approaches are compared with the LH algorithm. In this comparison, the geometric stratification approach was found to be less efficient than the LH algorithm, whereas efficiency of the optimization approach was similar to the efficiency of the LH algorithm. Nevertheless, strata boundaries evaluated via the geometric stratification may be seen as efficient starting points for the optimization approach. Reprinted by permission of Statistics Canada.

AN - 20254535; 7076976 AB - Plant regeneration in lucerne (Medicago sativa) is highly genotype dependent and inspite of considerable information on in vitro regeneration in this species the Indian genotypes have not been investigated so far. A system of recurrent somatic embryogenesis (RSE) was established for the first time in Indian accessions of lucerne and utilized for Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation. Seeds, hypocotyls and cotyledons of LLC-3, C-10, A-3 and IL-75 accessions and ovary explants of 5 somaclones of LLC-3 were used and globular shaped somatic embryos were observed in all of the cultures. All the developmental stages of somatic embryogenesis were observed in ovary culture of one somaclone only. These somatic embryos have been undergoing cycles of RSE and the system has perpetuated for 24 months. For Agrobacterium mediated genetic transformation, this system of RSE required creation of injury in individual somatic embryos for enhanced transformation efficiency that limited its utilization for large-scale transformation experiments. An efficient system to overcome the requirement of creation of injury was developed in which pre-culture of somatic embryos on 2,4-D supplemented medium prior to their co-cultivation with Agrobacterium and supplementation of 2,4-D in co-cultivation medium could significantly improve the transformation efficiency.

Sample of fruits were tested at three stages, i.e. initial stage, green-life ending stage, yellow-life ending stage. The shelf life (21 days) including the green life (12 days) and yellow life (9 days) were highly enhanced in fruits with wax coating along with polyethylene wrapping and ethylene absorbent. The physiological loss in weight (PLW%) was lower in the polyethylene wrapped fruits compared to the newspaper wrapped ones. In contrary the polyethylene wrapped fruits recorded higher rotting percentage as compared to newspaper wrapping. The TSS and sugar content of the fruits increased gradually with increase in storage period irrespective of treatments. The titratable acidity showed an increasing trend up to the end of green-life and then decreased in the yellow-life ending stage. But the ascorbic acid content showed a decreasing trend throughout the storage life.

Seven stages of maturity of A. nobilis were identified, characterized and described. Different stages of maturation were determined by color and size of the gonads, gonadosomatic index (GSI), the size and microscopic appearance of ova. The fish attained first maturity at 440-550 mm and 1000-2000 g in males and 540-610 mm and 2000-3000 g in females. Attainment of first maturity occurs when the male was 1-2 years and female was 2-3 years old. High values of gonadosomatic index (GSI) were found from March to July, with a peak at June and July showing its top gonadal maturity and breeding season.

A survey on 64 farm family revealed that every house hold possessed about 3 pig/family and the pig house waste (fecal matter and uneaten feed particle) was generally dumped near the open area of the pig shed and utilized only as farm yard manure (FYM) after decomposing the material. While decomposing, these create filthy and unhygienic environment and also produce obnoxious gases. This unhygienic environment was main factor for all shorts of health problem of pigs in particular and farm family as a whole. An effort of eco-friendly management of pig waste was made through pig cum fish culture. The study was carried out in four different villages. The piggery wastes were directly channeled into the pond and fish consumed directly on pig excreta. The pig excreta as a whole acts as an excellent pond fertilizer. Study revealed that through the integration of pig cum fish farming, production performance in both pig and fish was high. The fish and pork production was increased by 1.62 and 23.34% respectively over the traditional fish culture and pork production system.

These fish species are popularly known as Indian Aquarium Fish. Out of the 250 potential native ornamental species available in different water bodies of the region, presently about 155 native ornamental fish species are included in the export list and are gradually becoming popular among the local hobbyists. About 85% of the ornamental fishes exported from India, originates from the North Eastern States. The native ornamental fish have some specific trade name in the ornamental related trade. The FOB price offered by the exporter for native ornamental fish is significantly high and varies from about 0.06 to 4.825 US$, depending on the species. The price of these fishes in local hobby shops and in 'Hatibagan Haat' ornamental fish market is also good, varying between Rs 3-50. There is a large scope of developing the trade with varieties of indigenous fish species in NE state. However, the trade also has many constraints. The demand of the ornamental fish was fluctuating during different years and seasons. There is no organized marketing channel for this trade in NEH region. Basic biological information like feeding and reproductive biology of the individual species is an urgent need for captive breeding and rearing. Training for ecofriendly collection, handling, conditioning, packaging and transportation are essential for sustainable growth of the ornamental fisheries in the North Eastern States.

AN - 68735666; 16251781 AB - Salmonella is an important zoonotic pathogen and its prevalence in the animals acts as a continuous threat to man. The present study was carried out to report the isolation along with the serotypes, phage types and antibiogram pattern of Salmonella among man, livestock and poultry in the northeastern India. A total of 654 samples from diarrhoeic livestock and humans were processed for the isolation of Salmonella. All the isolates were subjected to antibiogram studies against 15 antimicrobials. Representative isolates of S. Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis were phage typed. Ninety five isolates of Salmonella enterica belonging to 5 serotypes- S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis, S. Gallinarum, S. Paratyphi B and S. Bareilly were obtained with an overall prevalence rate of 14.40 per cent. S. Typhimurium isolates were distributed among four phages- DT003, DT004, DT096 and DT193 and all the S. Enteritidis isolates belonged to a single phage type, PT13a/7. Interspecies sharing of the phages was observed. Norfloxacin, enrofloxacin, gentamycin and ciprofloxacin were most effective, whereas, doxycycline, ampicillin, amoxycillin and tetracycline were relatively less effective. Our findings showed that three of the five serovars as well as some of the phage types of these serovars were shared by animals and humans indicating the zoonotic potential of the organism. Thus, it is imperative that salmonellosis control measures adopted for humans should give adequate importance to its control in the animals particularly their products.

AN - 67133577; 15570637 AB - To investigate the effect of methotrexate (MTX) treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on folate metabolism, and to determine the effect of low dose folic acid on toxicity, efficacy, and folate status. A 52-week prospective study of 81 patients with RA treated with MTX and self-administered low dose folic acid; 38 patients were included prior to MTX therapy, 33 patients continued established MTX therapy, and 10 patients were excluded. Drug efficacy and side effects were monitored with biochemical and clinical indicators. MTX treatment resulted in decreased concentrations of red blood cell (RBC) folate and a rise in plasma homocysteine. Intracellular concentrations of MTX were inversely correlated to RBC folate levels after treatment for a longer period (mean 41 months). Supplement with low dose folic acid prevented or diminished the influence of MTX on folate status and had a protective effect on MTX induced liver toxicity without changing the efficacy of MTX. MTX interferes with folate and homocysteine metabolism, and the intracellular concentration of MTX may play a role. Our results indicate low dose folic acid supplementation has a beneficial effect on MTX toxicity.

AN - 71759743; 15043548 AB - Two cases of acanthamoeba keratitis with almost identical clinical courses developed mature cataract and iris atrophy after prolonged treatment with chlorhexidine 0.02% and propamidine isethionate 0.1%. It is suggested that these complications were caused by the chemicals, rather than resulting from the amoebae-induced inflammation. Penetrating keratoplasty was performed in both cases when perforation from peripheral ulceration was threatening. The immediate results were good. From these two cases it seems possible that there is a maximum level of intensity of the medical treatment and also that surgery should be considered at an earlier stage, before intraocular complications develop.

Acute toxicity bioassay studies were conducted on egg, nauplius, protozoea, mysis, postlarvae 5 (PL super(5)) and postlarvae 20 (PL super(20)) of P. merguiensis. The 24-hour LC super(50) value of mercury on egg was 0.0055 ppm. Hatching rate of eggs were 73% and 8% respectively in the lowest (0.003 ppm) and highest concentrations (0.015 ppm) tested. The 24-hour median lethal concentration of mercury on the first larval stage nauplius was 0.0046 ppm, while the 48-hour LC super(50) values of mercury were 0.0035, 0.0058, 0.0115 and 0.026 ppm on protozoea, mysis, PL super(5) and PL super(20) stages respectively. The 24-hour LC super(50) value of mercury on eggs indicated that the eggs were more resistant when compared to nauplius and the order of relative sensitivity of different life-history stages of P. merguiensis to mercury toxicity was nauplius > eggs > protozoea > mysis>PL super(5)>PL super(20).

In several sub-areas groundwater is mined, water tables fall, and salts are added to the root zone because a high proportion of irrigation water is derived from pumped groundwater of poor quality. Out of 1 million hectares of irrigation induced waterlogged saline area in northwest India, approximately half a million hectares are in the state of Haryana. Taking a homogenous physical environment as a starting point, the way and the extent to which farmers' activities will affect the salinity and sodicity situation depend on farming and irrigation practices. In the past, soil salinity was mainly associated with high groundwater tables, which bring salts into the root zone through capillary rise when water is pumped. But nowadays, increasing exploitation of groundwater for irrigation purposes has led to declining groundwater tables and a threat of sodification and salinization due to use of poor quality groundwater. Farmers in northwest India are facing a situation in which they have to deal with salt volumes that are harmful for water uptake of crops. They are also facing the problem of sodicity, which has an adverse effect on the physical structure of the soil, causing problems of water intake, transfer and aeration. To mitigate the adverse effect of soil salinity on crop yield, the farmers irrigate frequently, either mixing canal water and groundwater, or alternately using canal water and groundwater. Due to differences in environmental parameters in the farming systems, such as groundwater quality, soil types and uneven distribution of irrigation water, income losses to the farming community are not uniform. This paper highlights the economic loss due to environmental degradation through the twin problems of waterlogging and soil salinity, which threaten the sustainability of agricultural production in Haryana state. Our analysis shows that the net present value of the damage due to waterlogging and salinity in Haryana is about Rs. 23,900/ha (in 1998-1999 constant prices). The estimated potential annual loss is about Rs. 1669 million (about US$ 37 million) from the waterlogged saline area. The major finding of the paper is that intensification per se is not the root cause of land degradation, but rather the policy environment that encouraged inappropriate land use and injudicious input use, especially excessive irrigation. Trade policies, output price policies and input subsidies all have contributed to the degradation of agricultural land.

AN - 18922744; 5604201 AB - The sustainability of irrigated agriculture in India is threatened by waterlogging, soil salinity and alkalinity. To reverse declining agricultural productivity, a combination of surface and subsurface drainage, supplemented by improved irrigation management, has been identified as the most appropriate strategy. But drainage for salinity control is costly. Therefore, the benefits in terms of sustained agricultural production must be thoroughly investigated to establish its techno-economic feasibility. The present study attempts to do this by analysing: (i) the cost of installing subsurface drainage, (ii) the direct on-farm benefits of subsurface drainage, and (iii) the financial feasibility of subsurface drainage. Haryana State was selected as the site of the study. The study shows that, after the installation of drainage, land utilization intensified as a sizeable area of formerly fallow land was brought under cultivation. It also shows that the cropping pattern changed in favour of more remunerative crops and that crop yields increased. This is an indication of the immediate gain from drainage, which helps to increase land productivity, gainful employment of the farmers and, hence, farm income. Recently (1997-98), mechanically installed large-scale drainage development in the framework of the Indo-Dutch Haryana Operational Pilot Project (HOPP) also supported the above findings. Given a sustainable solution for the disposal of the drainage effluent, the financial feasibility of drainage in waterlogged and saline areas looks favourable, provided that sufficient water is available for leaching and irrigation.

Pour inverser le declin de la productivite agricole, la meilleure strategie semble etre une combinaison de drainage de surface et souterrain completee par une gestion plus efficiente de l'irrigation. Mais le co[ucirc]t du drainage est eleve et les benefices pour la durabilite de la production agricole doivent etre examines attentivement pour valider sa faisabilite technico-economique. L'etude presentee dans ce travail tente de le faire en analysant: (i) le co[ucirc]t d'installation du drainage souterrain, (ii) les benefices directs apportes par le drainage souterrain, (iii) la faisabilite financiere du drainage souterrain. L'etat de l'Haryana a ete selectionne pour cette etude. Apres l'installation du drainage, une part significative de sa surface agricole a connu une intensification de sa production agricole. Les assolements ont evolue vers des cultures plus remuneratrices et les rendements ont augmente. Ceci indique un gain immediat apporte par le drainage qui ameliore la productivite des terres, l'efficacite du travail des agriculteurs et les revenus agricoles. Recemment (1997-98) un grand projet de drainage, le Projet Pilote de l'Haryana, installe dans le cadre de la cooperation entre l'Inde et les Pays Bas, a egalement permis de verifier ces resultats.

Mangrove ecosystem is a resource of plants, animals and microbes which are interdependent and living in close association. Microbes play an important role in nutrient recycling in this unique ecosystem and have become an important area of study in the search for novel microbial products, including enzymes. In this article, isolation and identification of microbial source of agarase enzyme from mangroves of Andaman is described. About 1000 soil samples collected from various mangrove inhabited areas of South Andaman were subjected to isolation of bacteria in Zobell Agar.

Among all the seven treatments, the mean seed yield recorded was significantly higher in sole application of Acacia (2.45 and 2.03 q/hectare) or its combination with chan (2.23 and 1.88 q/hectare) as compared to control (1.24 and 1.034 q/hectare) during both the years respectively. The water use efficiency was found to be 57 to 62% and 64% higher under biomulches as compared to control during successive years with a comparable and higher degree of increase in sole Acacia (1.283 and 1.19 kg/hectare-mm) and Acacia-chan (1 : 1) combination (1.297 and 1.24 kg/hectare-mm). The values of harvest index and mean biomass at crop maturity also revealed the same trend. The increase in yield and other growth parameters might be due to higher rate of average moisture depletion (2.46 to 2.99 mm/day) from the soil profile (0-45 cm) over the crop growth period in both the seasons as compared to control (2.01 to 2.21 mm/day). The higher moisture depletion rate in the root zone might be attributed to higher root weight density (RWD) in biomulches (1.76 to 3.3 mg/cm super(3) of soil) as compared to that under control (1.33 to 1.55 mg/cm super(3) of soil).

The author begins with the crusade of 19th-century moral reformers, including Joseph Tuckerman, Robert M. Hartley, Charles Loring Brace, & Josephine Shaw Lowell. He looks at their tactics, the challenges confronting them, their achievements, & their failures. In the early 20th century, there was much skepticism about the moral reform movement. Jane Addams, Walter Rauschenbush, Frances Fox Piven, & others argued that the values championed by moral reformers were individualistic, bourgeois, & irrelevant to the lives of the urban poor. In the late 20th century, a revitalized commitment to traditional values as an antidote to poverty was evident in welfare reform legislation & renewed support for faith-based charities.

The Q/I parameters, viz. equilibrium activity ratio (AR (super k) (sub e) ), potential buffering capacity (PBC (sub 0) (super k) ) and labile potassium (Delta K (sub 0) ) decreased with liming. Presence of large amount of aluminium in various forms restricted the unlimed soil from showing normal Gapon exchange behaviour. However, an approach towards the normal trend of variation of K (sub G) against Delta K (sub exch.) was observed as the liming rate increased. Different forms of Al, except the amorphous and crystalline form, decreased with liming. The K content present in the different extracts obtained to estimate various forms of Al, especially extractable and organic bound, increased with increasing lime levels.

This crop suffers with a number of diseases but only rust caused by Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers.) Unger causes considerable damage every year. Therefore, an attempt was made to manage this disease in Sikkim through fungitoxicants, as control measures are not available for this disease.

The present paper deals with new records of fungal diseases of some crops. Diseased plant specimens were collected from different places of Sikkim like Tadong, Majhitar, Pakyong, Najhitam, Namthang etc. The diseased samples were brought to the laboratory and examined under microscope and by making pure cultures, wherever necessary for the identification of the microbes. The pathogenicity was established by spraying spores/mycelial suspension and creating congenial conditions. Review of literature indicated that five diseases were new and not recorded earlier.

The mean N loss was 14.2, 16.5 and 30.3 kg ha (super -1) through leaching, and 5.8, 5.5 and 4.0 kg ha (super -1) through runoff in terraced areas, and 7.1, 9.8 and 19.9 kg ha (super -1) in leaching and 19.5, 19.4 and 33.7 kg ha (super -1) in runoff in bun method, from soils S (sub 1) , S (sub 2) and S (sub 3) , respectively. The NO (sub 3) -N content of the soil was observed to be higher near the surface (0-20 cm) compared to lower depths (20-40 cm and 40-60 cm) in both methods of potato cultivation, and it increased with increased application of nitrogen. Applied nitrogen increased the dry matter yield (tuber+shoots) of potato, and productivity was found to be higher in light textured soil.

Petiole, leaf and shoot tip explants from 3 to 4 week old in vitro grown shoots of gerbera were co-cultured with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404. The strain harbours a binary vector containing neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) and beta -glucuronidase (uidA) genes. Callus formation and shoot regeneration were obtained on MS medium containing BAP, kinetin (1.0 mg/l each) and NAA (0.5 mg/l). Selection on the regeneration medium supplemented with 20 mg/l kanamycin allowed production of transgenic plants from 0.44% to 17.0% of the explants. GUS activity was detected by histochemical staining. Transfer of uidA and nptII genes was analysed by PCR and Southern hybridization. Transformed shoots were multiplied on MS medium containing 0.25 mg/l BAP, rooted in half strength MS medium supplemented with 40 mg/l kanamycin and successfully transferred to soil. This protocol could be used to introduce horticulturally important genes that govern pigment biosynthesis in flowers.

Eleven watersheds are chosen for model development and two watersheds for model validation. Rainfall, topography soil attributes, land use and land treatment attributes are included in the model. It is observed that model involving land treatment attribute results in higher correlation coefficient and F-value. The validation result shows that model is able to predict the average annual sediment production rate within the reasonable limits of the observed sediment production rate.

AN - 16238178; 2766061 AB - Copper mahseer (Acrossocheilus hexagonolepis ) is one of the most important game fishes of India. Indiscriminate capture, destructive methods of fishing have caused a sharp decline in its fishery of the Himalayan region. In this study efforts were made to evaluate the cultural prospects of chocolate mahseer under the running water channel condition. Fingerlings of Acrossocheilus hexagonolepis with average weight of 20-25 g were cultured in 160 cu.m. of running water channel of Barapani fish farm at Shillong. Food and water quality were regularly monitored. The chocolate mahseer became well adapted to consume the artificial feed (rice bran, mustard oilcake and fish meal) and herb (Gynura crapidioides ) supplied in the running water channel during the culture. The observed food conversion ratio (FCR) was 1.29 and daily weight gain per fish was 0.89 g in the density of fingerlings at 20 per cu.m water area. The present system of culture can be utilized in running water channel of North Eastern region using the indigenous hill stream mahseer and make the water resources into economically productive.

Percentage of plants infested by bean flies was significantly less in the one-third beans and two-thirds maize intercrop combination than in pure stand beans. The incidence of bean flies decreased with increasing plant populations from 66,666 to 533,332 plants per ha. Ovipunctures made by bean flies in the leaves of beans were not significantly different among the various treatments. A significant and gradual decrease in the number of ovipunctures from lower to higher plant populations was recorded. Possible reasons for population patterns of bean flies are discussed.

AN - 15980335; 2544560 AB - The present study was aimed at finding out the role of different infections causing diarrhoea in rabbit for the first time in North-Eastern Hills Region. Three species of coccidia (Eimeria media, E. irresidua and E. perforans ) were involved. The predominant oocyst was E. irresidua . Of the 123 samples examined for the isolation of E. coli and Salmonella , only 50 isolates were confirmed as E. coli and serotyped from the Central Research Institute, Kasauli. No Salmonella could be isolated from these samples. The observations in the present investigation corroborated the findings of earlier workers that superinfection with E. coli and Ooccidia oocysts caused severe diarrhoea leading to high morbidity and even mortality.

Steyaert. AN - 15493161; 2221706 AB - Large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) is an important cash crop of Sikkim occupying the largest area and highest production in India. During a survey of large cardamom diseases several foliar diseases were noticed. Recently symptoms of leaf blight, which could severely damage the foliage and the crop, were also noticed in plantations of large cardamom around Gangtok. Repeated isolations from the infected leaves yielded a fungal pathogen, which was identified as Pestalotiopsis versicolor (Speg.) Steyaert. This report constitutes a new host record for P. versicolor and also a new disease record for large cardamom. JF - Current science. Bangalore AU - Srivastava, L S AU - Verma, R N AD - ICAR Res.

Pestalotiopsis royenae ) -- a new disease of large cardamom from Sikkim. AN - 15483769; 2209371 AB - Large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Rox.) is an important spice and medicinal crop grown commercially in Sikkim. During a survey of large cardamom diseases, a new foliar disease, causing considerable damage in large cardamom plantations in the state, was noticed. This disease was recorded at locations of different altitude and was prevalent round the year. The disease was characterized by numerous elongated, translucent streaks appearing on young leaves along the veins. The streaks turned reddish-brown within 3-4 days, with a central straw-coloured necrotic area surrounded by prominent dark brown margins. The central area was studded with several black dots visible on both leaf surfaces. The streaks were 5-20 mm long and 2-4 mm wide. Microscopic examination and repeated isolations yielded a fungal isolate, which was identified as Pestalotiopsis royenae (D. Sacc.) Steyaert. JF - Current science.

Mite predators and insects were found active from February to April, but their population remained low throughout and did not seem to provide an effective control. Peaks of population of citrus mite were related with temperature and comparatively low relative humidity. The rainfall was found to be a limiting factor in multiplication of mites. Besides citrus, 11 more species of host plants have been recorded to be infested by this species. JF - Indian Journal of Ecology AU - Gangwar, S K AU - Lal, L AD - ICAR Res.

AN - 14840666; 1691072 AB - Turmeric (Curcuma longa ) is an important cash crop in Sikkim. During Kharif 1981, the authors observed a devastating foliage disease of turmeric causing heavy damage to the crop. The disease was noticed in subsequent cropping seasons and in increasing proportions ranging between 25 and 30%. Symptoms of the disease first appeared as water-soaked, translucent lesions on the leaves mostly near the leaf margin or tip. The lesions were irregular in shape and were surrounded by dark margins. Severely infected leaves looked blighted in appearance. On the lower surface of leaves, mouldy growth was also observed. Microscopic and culturral studies helped to identify the causative fungus as Phaeodactylium alpinae (Sawada) M.B. Ellis. JF - Current science. Bangalore AU - Srivastava, L S AU - Verma, R N AD - Div.

AN - 14807567; 1654502 AB - A preliminary study on immunoglobulin response in rabbits with local isolates of Clostridium perfringens type A has shown very encouraging results as far as gamma-globulin and durations were concerned. Since blackquarter-like disease of cattle in Manipur caused by C. perfringens type A is a serious problem and conventional BQ vaccine is not effective in state, vaccine prepared from the local isolates for annual prophylactic measures was tried. The purpose of the present study was to try the best immunoresponsive strain of C. perfringens type A in 3 types of vaccination schedules, i. e. live culture, bacterin toxoid and alumina-gel-adsorbed bacterin-toxoid in calves. The immunogenic response was assessed by the estimation of globulin level in blood serum at different intervals and by challenge tests.

The uneven terrain of the hills and the climatic conditions pose a problem to the fishery scientists. Nevertheless the scientists at the ICAR Research Complex have devised technologies to overcome these constraints and to fully utilise the available resources. Fish production of this region is heavily dependent on common carp (Cyprinus carpio ) and other two exotic carps that is silver carp (Hypopthalmichthys molitrix ) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella ) are very rarely found in cultural fisheries in this region. Fish seed production of these species except the state of Tripura and Manipur almost negligible. JF - Indian Farming AU - Mandal, B K AU - Ghosh, S K AD - Div. Fish., ICAR Res. Complex N.E.H.

AN - 14402090; 1240131 AB - Studies on integrated control of ergot (Claviceps fusiformis ) in pearl millet has shown that crop sown before 25th July escaped the infection. Disease intensity and yield were found to increase with higher doses of nitrogen whereas higher dose of potash reduced it and counteracted the effect of high nitrogen and phosphorus doses. A dose of N, P and K 100, 50 and 40 kg/ha, respectively gave high yield and low ergot intensity. Systemic fungicides namely, Bavistin, Benlate and Brestanol, gaive higher disease control both as pre and post inoculation application campared to non systemic fungicides. Among protectants, Ziram, Du-Ter, Dithane M-45 and Difolatan performed better when sprayed 24 hr before inoculation. Application of insecticides, Sevin or Thiodan reduced disease although to a low extent. Better disease control has been achieved by using combination of Bavistin, Benlate or Brestanol with Sevin or Thiodan. Three sprays of any of the combination were found optimum for ergot control.

India. AN - 14140551; 962410 AB - During 18-24 July 1981, five storms produced 69-144 mm rainfall upstream in the Jojri River catchment in the Indian arid zone. As a result, 22 multiplied by 31 x 10 super(6) m super(3) runoff was recorded in mountainous terrain, which was reduced to 6 multiplied by 82 x 10 super(6) m super(3) 305 km downstream. Diminution of discharge downstream is attributable to high transmission losses in the alluvial channels. Suspended sediment concentration increased from 6 multiplied by 1 to 16 multiplied by 8 g/l and specific conductance, along with selected ions, also increased leading to deterioration in water quality downstream.

AN - 13908371; 761141 AB - The effects of artificial feeding on production of common carp (Cyprinus carpio ) and water quality in paddy-cum-fish culture were studied for 90 days. Paddy fields of 40 m super(2) were stocked with 24 fingerlings (25 to 30g) 15 days after transplanting the paddy seedlings. The fish were fed a mixture of rice bran and mustard oil cake (1:1) at rates of 2, 4 and 6% total body weight. The growth of individual fish and fish yield increased with increasing feeding rates, as did concentrations of nitrite, nitrate, chemical oxygen demand, and particulate organic matter. Economic interpretation indicated a feeding rate of 8.8% of the total body weights of the fish, calculated on the Mitscherlich model.

It is concluded that superiority of larval survival in the lindane resistant strains over the susceptible strains is associated with the lindane resistance. Differences arising, however, in other biological characteristics of the four lindane susceptible and resistant strains are specific to the strains.

But the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon of non-specific enhancement of immune response by Mycobacterium phlei and other mycobacteria are poorly understood, although enhanced phagocytic activity has been suggested as a possibility. In the present study non-specific induction of resistance in laboratory mice against S. enteritidis infection was studied in relation to the activity of phagocytic cells so as to indicate some of the possible mechanisms involved in this phenomenon.

Bacterial population was the largest coloniser of rhizosphere and was maximum at the seedling stage, while those of fungi and actinomycete were maximum at the flowering stage. Fruiting stage was marked by very low to lowest counts for all the three microbial groups. Thus, while bacterial numbers exhibited little correlation with the shoot/root ratio, the fungi and actinomycetes exhibited a positive correlation with the dry weight of roots and varied almost inversely with the S/R ratio. The qualitative variation in the fungal flora exhibited a positive response to substrate-relationship.
