There is not any specific arrangement required for backyard poultry farming and is mostly popular in backward and resource-deprived areas of J&K and provides rural families with good source of income, healthy food sources in terms of meat and eggs. Backyard poultry farming alleviates women status in rural society and provide employment to rural people and also reduces the demand and supply gap of poultry products viz meat and eggs. Significant limitations of backyard poultry farming in J&K are high death rate in chicks because of a frequent disease outbreaks, absence of framework, lower potential of desi chickens, absence of scientific information, predation, hunger, climate change and fluctuating feed supply and price all throughout year. Being the best option for the marginal and small farmers of J&K to their backup salary with very small input this farming needs an upliftment. However, Government of J&K has launched 29 projects under Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP) in which P25 is exclusively for poultry development in J&K. Backyard poultry farming results in socio-economic development, nutritional and livelihood security, empowerment of women etc. among rural people. Birds are kept mostly on scavenging system, where they acquire their feeds through natural foraging, kitchen wastes etc. Rural poultry farming has been responsible to produce 40 per cent meat and 44 per cent egg requirement in J&K. Chicken eggs and meat are the only cheapest and best sources of protein, vitamin and minerals with high biological value for rural poor and marginal sections of people. The additional income earned from indigenous chicken farming has improved their socio-economy stability.","PeriodicalId":13777,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"33-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147914969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many studies have attempted to evaluate the effect of this Soil Land Management (SLM) practice a posteriori. The aim of this study is to assess the evolution of Ecosystem Services (ES) in the first stage of FMNR based agroforestry system in Niger. We, therefore, monitored the evolution of Ecosystem services in sixty farmers (30 practicing FMNR and 30 without practicing FMNR) over three years (2017, 2018 and 2019). The year 2017 was considered as the reference year. Provisioning ecosystem services (agricultural production, fire, wood, service wood) and regulating services (Carbone sequestration) where quantified each year from the same farmers and in the same fields. All crop yields were quantified by biophysical measurements using a plot yield (10m x 10m) included in a larger plot (50m x 50m) for dendrometry measurements. Carbone sequestration was measured by soil carbon analysis and allometric equation for vegetation Carbone. The evolution of financial benefit is measured using Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA). The results showed that the increase in yields in FMNR fields compared to non-FMNR fields was not regular for all crops. Furthermore, the FMNR system improves the regulatory service, and hence, it stores a higher amount of organic carbon (605.5 mg / kg) than the systems without FMNR (432.5 mg / kg). The results of the CBA showed that the incremental cost is negative in 2017 but positive in 2018 and 2019. Therefore, the FMNR practice makes farmers wealthier. Soil Land Management Practices are financially profitable when all ecosystem services are quantified and valued.","PeriodicalId":13777,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140511076","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}

Enzyme activities and nutrient availability in soil was assessed and 50 % flowering and harvest of soybean. Application of phytase @ 3600 IU or 7.5 t ha-1 FYM recorded significantly higher acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and dehydrogenase activity at 50 % flowering and harvest of soybean. Significant increase in soil available phosphorus in calcareous soil at both the growth stages of soybean over initial was observed with the application of phytase and FYM in all the treatments. Application of 3600 IU phytase and 7.5 t ha-1 FYM recorded higher soil available nitrogen (245.65 and 180.08 kg ha-1) and phosphorus (16.08 and 13.34 kg ha-1) at 50 % flowering and at harvest.

For microbial quality, total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, total coliforms, E.coli and Vibrio spp were researched. Parameters such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, turbidity and total dissolved solids were measured at the water sampling sites. Data collected were analyzed using Statgraphics version 7.1 software. Results showed that total aerobic mesophilic bacteria had the highest count (9.78 log cfu/g) followed by total coliforms (7.5 log cfu/g), while faecal coliforms and Vibrio were the least represented. The maximal number of aerobic mesophilic bacteria was counted in parsley during the dry season (9.78 log cfu/g). The microbiological quality of irrigation water and vegetables was unacceptable, exceeding the standards accepted by WHO and International Commission on Microbiology Standards for Foods limits for safe consumption. These results indicate that the microbial hazard of these vegetables is alarmingly high and that consumers should be aware to take correct actions while consuming them.","PeriodicalId":13777,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences","volume":"14 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140510893","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}

Seed conversion allows for the mass production of murrel fish fingerlings, which are in high demand in the market. It helps in maintaining the genetic diversity of murrel fish populations and prevents overfishing in natural habitats. Efficient seed conversion techniques contribute to increased productivity and profitability in murrel fish farming. We have to grade them based on their size due to its cannabolic nature.

The phytosanitary analysis carried out in this study on this production perimeter aims to take an overview of the current practices in terms of the protection of vegetable crops, with a view to adopting good practices in the protection of the crops grown there. A sample of 50 growers was surveyed using a survey questionnaire prepared with Sphinx software. The study revealed that 98% of the growers surveyed systematically use chemical pesticides to protect their produce, although 96% are aware of the toxicity of these products. Some growers use plant extracts as biopesticides from time to time. The survey reveals that only 02% use biopesticides as an alternative to chemical pesticides. 75% of the vegetable growers surveyed were aware of biopesticides, compared with 25% who were unaware of their existence. As for the effectiveness of biopesticides, 77% of those who were aware of their existence and had already used them said they were effective. The study reveals that the availability of biopesticides and the time and effort required to formulate them are constraints on their use. 72.09% of growers advocate the availability of effective biopesticides at affordable prices. At the end of this study, it emerged, firstly, that there is an urgent need for ongoing training and retraining for farmers in the rational use of chemical pesticides, and secondly, that farmers need to be made aware of the need to promote the integrated management of crop pests. This will be done by building capacity in the formulation of biopesticides effective against pests and in the application techniques for these plant protection products.","PeriodicalId":13777,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences","volume":"16 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140511288","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}
