Genotypic correlation coefficient was higher in magnitude than their corresponding phenotypic correlation coefficient for all the characters. Significant positive correlations were found in seed yield per plant with number siliquae per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of primary branches per plant and main raceme length (cm),1000 seed weight (g), oil content (%), protein content (%), methionine content (%) and tryptophan content (%). Phenotypic path analysis values revealed that positive and direct effect on seed yield per plant was exerted by number of siliquae per plant followed by number of secondary branches per plant, protein content, number of primary branches, 1000 seed weight days to maturity and methionine content. Whereas, tryptophan content, days to 50% flowering, main raceme length, plant height and oil content showed negative direct effects. Thus, in this experimental material, these traits are recognized as the effective and probable choices for indirect selection towards increasing productivity. The challenge of the study is to find out the character associations to the yield and to estimate the direct and indirect effects of each character on yield. Ultimate aim is to enhance the yield and also enhance the quality of grain.","PeriodicalId":500025,"journal":{"name":"International journal of statistics and applied mathematics","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135690147","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}

The objective of the study is to provides an investigation of the exotic fruits in the context of imports and consumption, seek to identify the factors which influence consumer to purchase exotic fruits for consumption. This study was conducted in Coimbatore city and an empirical survey was conducted in four retail stores through direct interviews with structured questionnaires from 120 exotic fruit consumers. The data regarding imports of fresh fruits was collected from news websites, official reports, articles, etc. The Garrett's ranking technique was adopted to examine the consumers purchase influencing factors. The finding of this study indicated surge in imports of fresh fruits in India from 2019 to 2022 in terms of both quantity and value. Health is a predominant factor driving the preference for exotic fruits consumption followed by Taste and family preference. Other factors which influenced the consumption were dietary habits and availability of a wide variety of fruits and in-store promotions/discounts. Overall, this article proposed valuable insights for businesses seeking to tap into India's growing exotic fruit market, emphasizing the importance of health, taste, and effective marketing in reaching a diverse and increasingly distinguishing consumer base.","PeriodicalId":500025,"journal":{"name":"International journal of statistics and applied mathematics","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135389030","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}

India is one of the world's largest groundwater users, with an estimated annual groundwater extraction of over 230 cubic kilometers (km³). This high rate of extraction raises concerns about over-exploitation in many regions. For the effective management of groundwater, it is important to model and predict fluctuations in groundwater levels. The most widely used technique for time series analysis is, the Box Jenkins’ Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model is adopted for the study. Results showed that the groundwater levels had significantly declined from January 1999 to March 2017. The results indicated that seasonal decline in groundwater level for the observation well was 0.034 m/year and average annual decline was 0.7424 m/yr.

Food security remains the cardinal agenda of every serious government. The prices of available food commodities must be affordable to every citizen and that were determined by the cost of the food commodities. As prices of agricultural commodities keep increasing, the availability of food becomes limited to every household in Nigeria, especially in the North-Eastern region. The research was aimed at determining the mathematical model that was perfect for determining the food security in the study area. Time series equations and Non-linear equation were used to compare the prices of the selected agricultural commodities. Price is considered because, price play a vital role to food security in the country. This research covers the entire local governments of Bauchi state including the metropolis and the crop considered included; Maize, Rice and Soybeans. Twenty local governments (20) local governments of Bauchi state were visited to collect data on averaged price of three selected commodities per mudu (i.e. Maize, Rice and Soybeans) through direct interaction as well as from Bauchi state statistical year book from 2013 to date across the state from national bureau of statistics Bauchi. Standard method for determining a linear trend is the method of least square that used for linear regression was used to model the selected agricultural commodities. The findings revealed that the Non-linear equation method has a minimal error compared to the least square method; this was explained that Non-linear equation is the better model for determining food security in Bauchi state.","PeriodicalId":500025,"journal":{"name":"International journal of statistics and applied mathematics","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135782386","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}

From each mandal, one village was selected as a sample i.e Elbaka village (Vinavanka mandal), Utoor village (Manakondur mandal) and Kannapur village (Shankarpatnam mandal). Sampling was done covering all farm size groups. In every chosen village, a total of 60 farmers were selected for sampling. This selection was designed to encompass 20 farmers engaged in the production of Hybrid seeds, another 20 involved in the production of OPV seeds, and an additional 20 farmers focused on grain production. Consequently, the complete sample consisted of 180 farmers distributed among the three villages. Garrett’ ranking technique was adopted to analyze the constraints as perceived by the respondents in Grain and seed production of paddy. The results revealed that major constraints perceived by rice growers were unfavourable weather conditions which ranked first with Garrett mean score around 85, followed by higher labour wage.","PeriodicalId":500025,"journal":{"name":"International journal of statistics and applied mathematics","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135250246","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}

Children are often forced to work in hazardous conditions; many fall prey to sexual exploitation and trafficking. These crimes severely impact children, causing physical and mental trauma that leaves long-lasting scars.
