In this region, it is the most devasting fly, due to its high reproductive potential, mobility, host range, and adaptability to climate. Those countries which are considered as fruit-producing countries lose their international markets due to the quarantine regulations which are imposed to avoid the invasion of a fruit fly. For the management of B. zonata, the use of chemical insecticides against fruit fly is in practice for several decades which originate from environmental imbalance, diseases in humans and animals and develop resistance. Different methods are alternatives to chemical control, grouped into cultural, physical, behavioral, genetic, and biological control. In this review, we summarize all the control measures which can be used singly or in the integrated form with other measures to control the B. zonata.","PeriodicalId":191478,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Agriculture and Farming","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134453541","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}

For the integrated management of fruit fly, monitoring is a major component. Automated pest monitoring is most promising and advanced for monitoring and accurate assessment of the status of the fruit fly. The need of the hour is to automate and monitor pest populations using advanced technologies to save time and to examine the real-time situation of the field. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the approaches and sensors which detect and monitor fruit flies automatically.The review focuses on image-based sensors for identifying fruit flies, analyzing the wing beat biometric signature with optoelectronics sensors, direct counting with photo interruption sensors and E-Traps that can provide real-time field information, and presenting the various integrated systems available.With a real-time imaging system, all information about the fruit fly population and infection rate is recorded and maintained in a database. All of this has resulted in enhanced monitoring systems for fruit fly integrated pest management.","PeriodicalId":191478,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Agriculture and Farming","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115577362","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}

A number of the contemporary problems in Indian agriculture are land fragmentation, labour shortage, depletion of natural resources, global climate change, low profitability, competition due to market liberalization, nutrition and gender issues etc. Under such circumstances the agriculture sector needs new ideas, innovations, rebranding and revitalization to combat these prevailing challenges .Generally youth is willing to adopt new ideas and technologies and thus they will easily transform this status of farming. The youth might be the perfect catalyst to change the poor image of persons involved in farming, especially within the rural communities given their greater possibility to adapt new ideas, concept and technology which are all important to change the way farming is practiced and perceived. This scenario of adjusting agriculture in India demands the energy and vitality of youth. India being the youngest nation within the world has massive youth resource to supply to agriculture sector but unfortunately, youth participation in agriculture is declining. With this scenario, this paper aims to debate some pertinent issues in present context like importance of youth involvement and reasons for growing interest of youth in farming sector, channelizing enormous youth workforce of the country into agriculture, strategies for attracting and retaining youth in agro-based rural enterprises and institutional efforts to leverage youth for agriculture.","PeriodicalId":191478,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Agriculture and Farming","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129947590","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}

Correlation analysis revealed that Y/100 DFLS showed a positive correlation with all the characters except SR% at both the phenotypic and genotypic levels. But Y/100 DFLS significantly correlated with all the characters except renditta at both the phenotypic and genotypic levels indicating the effectiveness for directional selection for genetic improvement of yield and suggested that with the increases of those characters Y/100 DFLS will be increased. In case of path coefficient analysis, characters ERRwt, SSwt and denier at phenotypic level and all the characters except Wt10ML and SSwt at genotypic level exhibited a direct positive effect on Y/100 DFLS which revealed their contribution to the yield and selection can be made by using these characters. It was noted that in path coefficient analysis ERRwt showed the highest direct effect on Y/100 DFLS both at phenotypic and genotypic levels. From the results of correlation and path coefficient analysis, it can be concluded that ERRwt was the most important yield contributing character as it exhibited significant positive correlation and highest direct effect on Y/100 DFLS both at phenotypic and genotypic levels followed by denier since denier showed positive direct effect both at genotypic and phenotypic levels.","PeriodicalId":191478,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Agriculture and Farming","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124759118","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}

Due to its high nutritional profile, every portion of this plant can be used as nutritional supplement or for the commercial purposes. The leaves of Moringa are very rich source of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. The leaf extracts of Moringa plant is mainly used for the treatment of malnutrition. It is also used to expand the quantity of breast milks in the lactating mothers. It is a good source as an anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antidiabetic agent.

Many poor countries are facing the problems of food items and nutrients deficiency problems. To cope with these critical situations, there is a method of deriving single cell proteins from the leftover or useless organic masses. This is very important and well methodology to handle with world protein deficiency situations. The single cell proteins are obtained from desiccated form of cells of algae, fungi, yeast and bacteria. The obtained proteins from these organisms are very rich in nutrients and these are also used as good supplements of diet. To produce these single cell proteins, there is a need of substrate which is categorized into different substrates like mango wastes, coconut wastes, wheat straws wastes, sugarcanes wastes, orange wastes and many other wastes. The single cell protein is also called as microbial protein. This microbial protein in case of diet supplement has high nutritional benefits to overcome the problems of protein deficiency in foods used for humans and animals. It is not seasonal production. It may be produced all over the year.
