Inheritance studies in scarlet eggplant is limited due to inadequate research, and Solanum aethiopicum in an underutilized crop. The objectives of this study were to evaluate inheritance and genetic action, heritability and heterosis for fruit length and diameter, fruits per cluster and fruit cluster per plant in Solanum aethiopicum Gilo and Shum groups. Six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2) from intra species hybridization were evaluated in a compact family block design with six blocks in three replications. Significant scaling and joint scaling tests for fruits clusters per plant and fruits per clusters indicated inadequacy of additive-dominance model. Additive gene action was important for fruit length and fruit clusters per plant, while dominance gene action moderates inheritance of fruit diameter and fruits per cluster. With dominance gene, hybrid breeding is worthwhile to undertake. The opposite signs of dominance and dominance by dominance digenic interaction for fruit clusters per plant showed a duplicate type of epistasis. Positive heterosis for Absolute Mid Parent Heterosis and Relative Mid Parent Heterosis implied sufficient divergence for fruit length and a platform for genetic improvement. High narrow sense heritability for traits predicts a better effectiveness of selection.","PeriodicalId":322832,"journal":{"name":"AGRIEAST: Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"69 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134195596","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}

These factors are responsible for the alteration of quality as well as quantity of water in every reservoir. Among those, climatic change is the key determinant of the sustainability of the ecosystems. Therefore, understanding the climatic change and its impact on Batticaloa Lagoon environment is important for its management in the future. In this view, the present study was conducted during the period from 2012 to 2014 with the aim of assessing the extent of community awareness and perception on climate change and its impacts on Batticaloa Lagoon environment, Sri Lanka. A survey was conducted with 406 respondents who are residing in nearby areas of the Lagoon. Data were analysed using SPSS software and MS Excel. Results revealed that, 81.4% of them heard about or clearly known about the climatic changes. In most cases, the awareness was gained through their own experience (74%) and via the media. Nearly 84% of the respondents mentioned that the lagoon water quality degradation linked with the climate changes. However, few of them (8%) reported that the human impacts are greater than the climatic impacts on water quality degradation in lagoon environment. Around 55.6% of the respondents expressed that the amount of rainfall for the last few years has been increased and finally it led to the flooding conditions. Continuous flooding (77%) in those areas was recognised as the problematic nature which led to the pollution of lagoon water as well as groundwater. Community response and expectations on the changing pattern of rainfall and impacts of climate change on economic activities were further evaluated in this study. The collected data and results therefore will be used to develop adaptation measures against climate change and for the formulation of the Batticaloa Lagoon management plan.","PeriodicalId":322832,"journal":{"name":"AGRIEAST: Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130769505","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}

Most widely used probiotics are lactic acid bacterial group found in milk and milk products. This study was aimed to characterize the probiotic properties of lactic acid bacterial (LAB) strains isolated from cheddar cheese, yoghurt and cow milk. Bacterial strains naturally grown in milk, cheddar cheese and yoghurt were isolated using De Mann Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) agar medium and incubated at 37oC for 48 h separately under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. There were eight strains grown under aerobic conditions and they were isolated, purified and characterization was done based on the morphological and biochemical analysis such as gram staining, catalase test and motility test. All the eight isolates were either rod or cocci shaped, gram positive, catalase negative, non-motile and non-spore formers. These eight isolated strains were identified as lactic acid bacteria. When screening of the 8 isolates was done to determine their antimicrobial activities against five human pathogenic strains such as E.coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas eaeruginosa, Salmonella sp and Staphylococcus aureus, three isolates (M6, C1 and Y1) showed wide spectrum antimicrobial activity. To determine the probiotic properties of these three isolates, different tests such as tolerance to acid, NaCl and bile, lactose utilization and antibiotic resistance were done. Though all the three isolates showed resistance to stomach pH (pH 3.0), the strain C1 showed significantly higher tolerance to stomach pH than the other strains. Though the three isolates grew well in the presence of NaCl and 0.3% bile, the isolate M6 showed significantly higher growth with NaCl and 0.3% bile than the others. Even though all the three isolates had the capacity of utilizing lactose, the isolate M6 showed prominent colour change in the lactose utilization test than the other two strains. When antibiotic susceptibility of the isolated LABs were evaluated using four antibiotics such as Ampicillin, Streptomycin, Bacitracin and Gentamycin, the strain M6 showed significantly higher resistance to Ampicillin and Bacitracin but sensitive to Streptomycin and Gentamycin. Other two isolates (C1 and Y1) were sensitive to all the four antibiotics used. Based on the antibiotic sensitivity tests and the analysis of probiotic properties, the isolated strain M6 was confirmed as a potential probiotic lactic acid bacterium. This strain was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum strain CIP 103151 through16S rDNA sequence analysis.","PeriodicalId":322832,"journal":{"name":"AGRIEAST: Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129535731","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}

Grain discoloration is an emerging disease complex, reducing grain quality of rice crop. Grain discoloration control is, however, mainly focused on fungicide; their use is limited due to perceived environmental problem and health concern. Silicon (Si) application is known as encouraging eco-friendly alternative to fungicide. Foliar applications of Si-based formulations were evaluated to examine their effect on reducing grain discoloration disease. Field experiments were conducted at Rice Research and Development Institute (RRDI), Batalagoda from May to September 2017. After planting, Si was applied as solution at the rate of 1 mL/L at tillering and early flowering stage. Fungicide and control (sterilized water) were applied as treatments at early flowering stage. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on plant height, total number of tillers per plant, chlorophyll content, yield, incidence of plant infection and percentage of grain discoloration were recorded. Laboratory study was carried out to isolate and identify the grain discoloration causing pathogens from the infected seeds by using potato dextrose agar plate method. Results revealed that incidence of plant infection and grain discoloration percentage were reduced by foliar application of silicon supplements as same as fungicide application. Among the Si-based formulations tested, Gainexa UPL gave the best result in controlling grain discoloration in rice. These silicon supplements could be used as alternatives to synthetic fungicide and could reduce the amount of fungicide needed during rice crop cultivation. Curvularia lunata and Curvularia pallescence were identified as the causal organisms of rice grain discoloration disease in the study area.","PeriodicalId":322832,"journal":{"name":"AGRIEAST: Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121204952","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}

However the production of brinjal does not satisfy the whole demand of people owing to the severe infestation by L. orbonalis. In order to get maximum yield from the cultivation farmers rely on over and indiscriminate use of chemical insecticides. Due to the side effects of over and indiscriminate use of toxic insecticides, now the trend moves towards Bio-intensive Integrated Pest Management (BIPM). The present study conducted to find the efficacy of BIPM over farmer’s practices and untreated control in controlling the L. orbonalis. The study evidenced the superiority of BIPM in all aspects viz., lesser shoot infestation (15.82 percent), greatest yield (17,170.22 kg/ha) and higher natural enemies activities (5.25 no./10plants), which was equivalent to untreated control. Besides the treatment BIPM proved its efficacy over farmer’s practice and untreated control especially with high percent increase of yield (63.90%), percent reduction of shoot (64.01%) and fruit infestation (80.58%), and less percent reduction of natural enemies’ population (8.70%). Apart from this the benefit cost ratio (BCR) ranked in the order of superiority as BIPM module (1:5.75), which was greater than the farmer practice (1:4.96) on brinjal.","PeriodicalId":322832,"journal":{"name":"AGRIEAST: Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133786824","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}

With rapid growth of population and urbanization water requirements for drinking and other purposes are dramatically increasing. The over extraction and unplanned development of ground water resources have led to considerable depletion of water resources. Artificial recharge is the practice of increasing the amount of water that enters groundwater reservoir by artificial means of planned human activity. The distribution and recharge of groundwater in the country varies significantly depending on geology, rainfall and geomorphology. The objective of this study was to identify artificial recharge potential. This study was conducted in Vavuniya district since the water shortage was observed over the years. Geomorphology, geology, soil, land use and stream data along with Landsat 7 ETM+ and DEM images were utilized to develop the relevant thematic layers such as geology, geomorphology, soil, slope, lineament density, land use and stream density by integrating GIS (Geographic Information System) and image processing techniques. The resultant thematic layers were utilized to prepare the groundwater recharge maps of the area through a weighted overlay method in a GIS platform. The results revealed that the artificial recharge was high in Southern part of the study area. Further the area has significant groundwater recharge zones which can be utilized for a sustainable ground water management system.","PeriodicalId":322832,"journal":{"name":"AGRIEAST: Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134132943","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}

This study describes the isolation of efficient cellulase producing fungi and determination of the kinetic properties of the crude cellulase. Among the fungal strains isolated from cow dung, hot rice water, water used in autoclave and decaying coconut wood, the strains growing on decaying coconut wood was selected for this study because of the higher amount of cellulase production measured by the rate of zone of clearance on the Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)sodium salt agar plates by Congo red test. The three isolated fungal strains isolated from coconut wood were identified and confirmed as Aspergillus niger FL17, Aspergillus oryzae CBS108.24 and Aspergillus unguis UCSC324 based on the morphological studies and molecular analysis done by amplifying the ITS5.8SrDNA sequence, PCR amplification and multiple sequence alignment. Since there had been no reports recorded about the production of cellulase from Aspergillus unguis UCSC324, kinetic properties of the cellulase from this fungal strain were studied. Fermentation medium contained (gL-1) 2.0g cellulose; 3.0g carboxymethyl cellulose; 0.3g ammonium sulphate and 100mL of distilled water was used at an optimal conditions of temperature 20±1oC, pH7.0 for 5 days at 100rpm.Crude cellulase showed zero order kinetics for 5 minutes. When the activity of cellulase was measured at different temperatures ranging from 20°C to 75°Cat pH 7.0, the optimum temperature for the enzyme activity was 50°C. When the pH of the media was changed from 2.0 to 8.0, while temperature was kept at 50°C with 1g/100mL cellulose substrate, highest cellulase activity was observed at pH 5.0.
