An attempt has been made to look into the patterns of rainfall distribution, including weekly, seasonal, and annual rainfall, using data collected from the Fingeshwar tehsil of the Gariyaband district, Chhattisgarh, over a ten-year period (2011-2020). Using the Weibull plotting position function, expected weekly, monthly, seasonal, and yearly rainfall values were calculated for various probability levels. Based on a 10-year yearly average, the data revealed that 1074.4 mm of rain were actually seen, following an average of 52.2 rainy days. A rainfall amount with a 75% probability level predicts 862.9 mm annually. The largest amount of weekly rainfall, 49 mm, was predicted to fall in the 35th week, followed by 32.1 mm in the 25th standard week and the least amount, 0.0 mm, in the 20-22nd, 29, 37, 40-42nd SMW. This prediction was made at a 75% chance level, same like the one before. According to a study of monthly rainfall at 70, 75, and 80% probability levels, the three crucial wet months are July, August, and September, with probabilities of getting a monthly rainfall between 0 and 50 mm. At a 70% probability level, the seasonal rainfall report projects 833 mm for the Kharif season. Thus, it can conclude that the kharif season's activities could start between the 22nd and the 23rd standard week and farmers can properly produce paddy crops in highland areas followed by any rabi crop in rabi season.","PeriodicalId":12035,"journal":{"name":"Environment Conservation Journal","volume":"207 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139350217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drought stress was created using PEG-6000 at different level of external water potential. Analyzed seedling traits of DRLs showed significant differences in response to different PEG concentrations. A decrement in plant growth at seedling stage with the increase in PEG concentration was observed as expected. Among 55DRLs, 14 DRLs were found to be drought tolerant sustaining the stress level till -7.5 bar as of the tolerant checks. Further, Drought linked SSRs were also evaluated in developed rice lines. Out of 8 SSRs, RM55 (R2 value- 13.5%) and RM259 (R2 value- 13.9%) found to be exhibiting significant association with the shoot/root ratio at - 7.5 bar stress level. Out of 14 DRLs, 9 DRLs were found to be showing drought tolerant in phenotypic and genotypic screening. Hence, PEG induced stress screening method used in this study will serve as the baseline for screening of rice lines for drought tolerance at very early stage without exploitation of much resource.","PeriodicalId":12035,"journal":{"name":"Environment Conservation Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139350210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Owing to its non-degradable nature, plastic particles remain in surroundings for extended periods which automatically facilitate its out spreading. Therefore, there is a need to shift to bio-based plastics, as bio-based green economy hinges on sustainable employment of bioresources for generating a broad spectrum of products, biofuels, chemicals and bioplastics. Typically bioplastics are synthesized from bio-based resources considered to contribute more to sustainable production of plastic as a part of the circular economy. Bioplastics are luring attention and growing as counterfeit material for petroleum-derived plastics owing to their biodegradability. Recently an engrossed interest has been burgeoning in producing drop-in polymers and new-fangled bioplastics by utilizing lignocellulosic feedstock. This paper reviews the enormous potential of lignocellulosic feedstock as a significant inedible substrate for bioplastic synthesis. Polyhydroxyalkanoates, polyurethanes, polylactic acid and starch-bioplastic are prevailing bio-based plastic comparably derived from lignocellulosic biomass. In forthcoming years bioplastic derived years’ bioplastic derived from lignocellulose will loom as valuable material in numerous fields for an extensive range of cutting-edge applications.","PeriodicalId":12035,"journal":{"name":"Environment Conservation Journal","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136337954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this investigation, chromium-resistant bacterial strains were isolated and characterized from tannery effluent. Based on morphological and biochemical characterization, the predominant sporulating Bacillus sp. was isolated and identified as Bacillus subtilis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Chromium degradation by the bacterial strain was evaluated using the flask culture method at three different concentrations (300, 600, and 900 µg/ml) of Cr (VI), and the reduction potential of the isolated bacterium was analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. A maximum reduction of approximately 78% was found at 24 hrs of incubation at pH 7 and at a constant temperature of 30°C. More than 50% of the Cr(VI) was decreased in 24 hours when the Cr(VI) concentration varied from 300 to 900 g/ml. FTIR analysis showed the involvement of hydroxyl and amine groups in chromium adsorption. As an outcome, this strain could be a promising bioagent for the environmentally friendly elimination of toxic Cr(VI) from polluted environments.","PeriodicalId":12035,"journal":{"name":"Environment Conservation Journal","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139350252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to estimate the carbon loss associated with soil loss in the watershed using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The study was carried out at the Central MPKV Campus Watershed, Rahuri, located in the rain shadow region of the Maharashtra state, India. The soil loss from the watershed was estimated using USLE model. The soil loss and carbon loss from the watershed were estimated before the implementation of conservation measures and after the implementation of conservation measures. It was found that the average annual soil loss from the watershed before and after conservation measures was 18.68 t/ha/yr and 9.41 t/ha/yr, respectively. Carbon loss was determined by soil loss rate, organic carbon content and the carbon enrichment ratio. The carbon loss from the watershed before and after conservation measures was 348.71 kgC/ha/yr and 205.52 kgC/ha/yr. The findings revealed that soil and carbon erosion was very severe on steep slopes without conservation measures and with limited vegetation cover. It was found that by reducing the carbon loss associated with soil loss, soil conservation measures not only aid in the conservation of natural resources but also serve as a climate change mitigation measure.","PeriodicalId":12035,"journal":{"name":"Environment Conservation Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139350351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introduction of mechanization, chemical fertilization and genetic selection in agriculture increased the food production, reduced pestilence and thus improved life expectancy. However, in doing so the natural resources were over utilized, degraded and polluted. The greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic activities increased several folds that resulted into global warming, the consequences of which are being observed in the form of floods, draughts, cloud bursts, melting of glaciers, rising of sea level and loss of species. The soil fertility & water table is decreasing, resistance to pesticides, drugs, antibiotics is increasing and immergence & reemergence of diseases are common. Since the world population by 2050 is anticipated to touch 9 billion that means an increase of 30%. Obviously, the demand for food to feed such a huge population would require 70% increase in the food. With limited resources, depleted soil, polluted atmosphere, disturbed ecosystems and exhausted natural resources, the challenges for food security have amplified. Urbanization, improved incomes and dietary changes will increase the demand for food of animal origin in coming years. Globally animal products provide 67% of the protein and the requirement for meat and milk by 2050 is expected to increase by 73% and 58% respectively. Therefore, to ensure food and nutritional security in coming years, livestock production has to be augmented efficiently, smartly and sustainably. As such, precision, smart livestock farming is inevitable that must integrate all the techniques, skills, knowledge and innovations to produce safe, sufficient, affordable, accessible and sustainable animal food with minimum environmental impacts. With the advancement in robotics, biosensors, artificial intelligence, internet of things and information technology, the farming practices should now be technology driven, smart, need based, automated, productive and integrated.","PeriodicalId":12035,"journal":{"name":"Environment Conservation Journal","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139350433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The F1 hybrid displayed intermediate expression for most of the traits. Traits like colour of the stem, leaf colour, position of stigma, nectarines of hybrid completely resembled wild parent-and are considered as dominant in expression. The petal spot was present in the hybrid similar to that wild parent, unlike the cultivated parent; this appeared with different levels of intensity in F1 along with other characters like colour of the anther, and filament colour.
