However, within the range, altogether 1,242 individuals of 31 species were found conserved and listed to rescue them from any damage or felling. After receipt of necessary permissions, manpower, general machineries (JCB and Hydra Crane) and other logistics, all plant individuals, comprising 1,075 individuals of 15 species of <10 cm girth were transplanted manually and 167 individuals of 16 species of >10 cm girth were transplanted mechanically without using specialized 'tree spade'. All transplanted plants were taken care of properly for a fortnight to months until and unless new leaves/branches/flower buds did not appear. Though environmental condition was not favourable, even then transplanted plants were survived @ 97.5%, is one of the greatest achievements achieved so far. Even after 5 to 7 years from date of transplantation, all trees are still standing in their new locations in BGIR.","PeriodicalId":217255,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biological Innovations","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114653823","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 study has been conducted during April 2016 to April 2020 to establish the database for their current population and to assess the possible causes of their decline in Doda district. The house sparrow is a symbiotic bird species highly adaptable with human habitation. House construction due to modern trend has resulted in reduced safe nesting for sparrows and mynas. Green spaces in our cities give way to more concrete construction due to which the house sparrow and myna loses its foraging ground. There is a dire need of ecological balancing to save the Sparrows and Mynas from getting extinct.","PeriodicalId":217255,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biological Innovations","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129290102","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}

Identification of such types of potential plants is of great significance in medicine. It's a necessity to study the pharmacognostic characteristics of any plant before using it in the field of research and pharmaceutical formulation. Feronia limonia plant is well known for its medicinal properties. Wood apple has antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, antimicrobial and hepatoprotective activity. In India, the fruit pericarp is used as a stomachic, diuretic, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anticancer, cardiotonic and tonic to liver and lungs. Fruit pericarp of Feronia limonia contains marmesin and other components. Shell shows anti-fungal activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria because of Psoralen. The fruit shells also contain anti-fungal compounds xanthotoxin, 2, 6-dimethoxybenzoquinone and osthenol. The structure elucidation 1 13 was performed with the help of UV, IR, H NMR, C NMR and mass spectra that confirmed the identity of Marmesin.

Results on Von Bertalanffy growth function parameters were -1 CW?=170.43 mm and K=0.93year (ELEFAN method). The current exploitation rate was 0.79 which was higher than the threshold at E=0.37. Also, an excess of 29% in the E current suggested reducing the 28% fishing effort of the current year to fulfill the MSY and FMSY.

The algal forms appearing in the culture flask were identified by using standard monographs after 30 days of incubation. A sum of 19 Cyanophyceae species appeared in the composite soil of the control flask belonging to 14 genera and 6 families. The occurrence of blue-green algae remained almost unaffected even in the presence of Furadan and Rogor pesticides at 100 ppm dose in the test soil. The survival percentage of bluegreen algae was reduced upto 50% at 500 ppm of Furadan while 10.52% survivability was noticed with Rogor only at 500 ppm dose level. The organophosphate, Rogor, was comparatively more toxic than carbamate, Furadan against tested blue-green algae. However, higher concentration of these pesticides significantly affects the survival showing high algicidal potential. The result of the present study revealed that indiscriminate use of these pesticides may cause adverse effects on the nitrogen fixing blue-green algae in crop fields, which has a direct effect on total productivity. The sensitivity of different Cyanophyceae to pesticide application was found more predominantly in sheath less heterocystous and unicellular forms than the heterocystous ensheathed and nonheterocystous ensheathed forms.","PeriodicalId":217255,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biological Innovations","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133032448","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}

Almost all the heavy metals are toxic at higher concentrations and some are lethalat very low concentration. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element present in water, food and soil, but now-a-days this element is one of the rapidly emerging serious environmental pollutants; released into the environment through industrial and agricultural usage. In many parts of India, the ground water is contaminated with arsenic. The genesis of arsenic pollution is not understood fully, yet it is thought that natural geological weathering is mostly responsible for the dissolved arsenic in ground water. Arsenic exposure to human causes degenerative, inflammatory and neoplastic changes in skin, respiratory system, blood, lymphatic system, nervous system and reproductive system. There is no particular remedial action for chronic arsenic poisoning. Nearly 100 million people are to be affected by arsenic diseases like spots on the skin, high blood pressure, diabetes, skin cancer, cancer of urinary bladder, kidney and lungs. Low socio-economic status and malnutrition may increase the risk of chronic toxicity. There is a strong relationship between chronic ingestion of arsenic and deleterious human health effects. Safe drinking water and well-nourished food is essential for the prevention of chronic arsenic toxicity. Balance nutritious-supplements play a major role in the prevention of chronic arsenic poisoning. In this review article, authors tried to provide an overview of some of the major effects documented in the scientific literature.","PeriodicalId":217255,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biological Innovations","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115141132","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}
