It is the internationally improved agricultural practices, are needed to assuage rural poverty and enhance food security. Aquaponics is a soil-less combined approach to proficient and sustainable intensification of agriculture that meets the needs of water scarcity inventiveness and generated modern farming practices in agriculture. The nutrient-rich fish water from the fish tanks is used to fertigate hydroponic production beds. To improve the production efficiency can be used bio fertilizers (Aquaponic water and Gracilaria corticata extract) as a liquid it contains organic macro, micronutrient and growth hormones. Tilapia fish produced the nutrient that is utilized by the plant Trigonella foenumgraecum L. The Physico-chemical parameter of both bio fertilizers should be assessed by using the standard procedures. The fish effluent water is compared with the Gracilaria corticata red seaweed extract by foliar spray and combining with both liquid bio fertilizers (Aquaponic water and seaweed extracts). Morphological growths of the plants were assessed. The combination of Aquaponic water and Gracilaria corticata seaweed extract was given the good result, but the estimation (15.26± 0.29, 24.06± 0.27, 30± 0.64, 35.94 ±0.28 cm plant height at 7, 14, 21 and 28 DAS) (2.6± 0.1 branches at 30, DAS) (533.67 ±11and 51 ± 1 mg shoot and root fresh weight per plant) leaf area (46.62±0.89cm2) at 28 DAS was related to the Aquaponic water in the plant Trigonella foenumgraecum L.

The study mainly focuses on the summer and onset monsoon season, where the variability in vegetation is easily noticed. Vegetation indices like Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Land Surface Water Index (LSWI) were estimated from the remotely sensed data of Landsat imagery. A comprehensive evaluation of the relationship among the vegetation indices reveals that there is an increase in the area occupied by the mangroves throughout the years. Correspondingly, the area under the mangrove cover have also faced an increase in the surface temperature, but much lesser when compared to the adjacent areas. According to the results obtained, NDVI, LSWI, LST, can be used to understand the status of mangrove vegetation with increase and decrease of temperature and water. It is found that the correlation among the remotely sensed indices depend on the season of the year. The summer season in general exhibited higher negative correlation with NDVI and LST and also between LST and LSWI than the onset monsoon season. It is also apparent that with the passing of years, the correlations among the indices are also found to be increasing. Thus in the global scenario of variable climate change, it is important to monitor the seasonal changes in vegetation, especially mangroves, for their effective conservation.","PeriodicalId":14378,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Scientific Research in Biological Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82426268","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}
