Forty each grape, lime and pomegranate growers were selected from Vijayapura district by use of simple random sampling technique. Thus, making the sample size of 120. The findings revealed more than two fifth (42.50%) of grape growers, two fifth (40.00%) of lime growers and 37.50 per cent of pomegranate growers belonged to medium level of entrepreneurial behaviour. With respect to overall entrepreneurial behaviour, more than one third (37.50%) of the respondents had medium level of entrepreneurial behaviour followed by high (33.33%) and low (29.17%) levels. Considering the dimension wise entrepreneurial behaviour of fruit crop growers, significant percentage of them belonged to medium category of innovativeness (38.33%), decision making ability (41.67%), achievement motivation (38.33%), knowledge on farming enterprise (41.67%), risk orientation (40.83%), information seeking behaviour (34.17%), ability to coordinate farm activities (44.17%), economic motivation (38.33%), leadership ability (38.33%), scientific orientation (36.67%) and management orientation (45.00%). The study also revealed that there was a significant difference in the mean entrepreneurial behaviour among grape, lime and pomegranate growers. Regression analysis was carried out to see the effect on independent variables on entrepreneurial behaviour.","PeriodicalId":505977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research and Reports","volume":" 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141370016","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}

It was found that Marginal value product of groundnut to price ratio (MVP/Pi) was less than unity human labour, seed, manure, fertilizer and plant protection chemicals. Tractor cost (X3) significantly contributed to production of groundnut. However human labour (X1), seed (X2), manure (X4) and fertilizer (X5) were non-significant.

Schott] also known as old cocoyam or true cocoyam is a water-loving herbaceous plant. Taro is affected by major diseases and pests in different parts of the world but among them taro blight and corm rot caused by a fungus-like oomycete Phytophthora colocasiae Racib is most important disease. The infected corm samples were collected from markets in two districts of Andhra Pradesh and the experiment was carried out based on Koch’s postulates in the Department of Plant Pathology, SHUATS, Prayagraj during Rabi season (2022-23). Isolation was done from collected corm samples (infected corms) for identification of the pathogen. Based on the cultural and morphological characters under microscopic examination, the pathogen was identified as Phytophthora sp. which causes corm rot and leaf blight of Colocasia. The isolated pathogen was inoculated into the healthy corms of Colocasia. At the time of corm germination, the typical symptoms were observed like downy whitish growth on the surface of the corms and on the leaf surface as small grey to brown discoloured water-soaked spots which later enlarged, became dark brown and coalesced, finally destroyed entire leaf lamina. After the examination of the symptoms, reisolation was done and pathogenecity of the fungus was proved by Koch’s postulates.

Manual harvesting, which involves labor-intensive methods, enables meticulous handling and yields top-notch product. However, it is constrained by expensive labor and the availability of workers only during certain seasons. On the other hand, automated harvesting improves efficiency and scalability, decreasing the need for human labor and boosting production. Nevertheless, this endeavor requires a substantial infusion of financial resources and may lead to increased harm to crops and compaction of the soil. The paper analyzes the economic consequences of both approaches, emphasizing the greater initial investment required for mechanical equipment compared to the continuous labor expenses associated with hand harvesting. This study addresses the difficulties of labor shortages, equipment maintenance, and adaptation to various crops and terrains. In the future, the incorporation of cutting-edge technology, like as robots and artificial intelligence (AI), has the potential to tackle these difficulties by providing more effective and sustainable methods for harvesting.","PeriodicalId":505977,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Scientific Research and Reports","volume":"28 29","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141379684","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, most historical studies of legal translation have concentrated on legal translation in China. They disregarded the legal translation in the West. Based on 78 papers from the Web of Science core collection, the paper reviewed the history of legal translation in the West using Citespace and visualized analysis in the Web of Science. The following questions are the focus of this paper. 1) What are the general patterns in the West between 2008 and 2023? 2) Who has had the most influence on the development of legal translation in the West? What is the reputable article in the West regarding legal translation? 3) What are the research hotspots in the West? The result demonstrates that (1) research on legal translation in the West is still in its early stages of development, with significant fluctuations in terms of the general pattern of research on legal translation in the West. (2) Ramos, FP of the University of Geneva has had the most influence on the research on legal translation in the West. (3) Of the highly cited papers, the paper written by Vieira, L.N., O’Hagan, M., & O’Sullivan, C is the reputable paper in the West regarding legal translation. (4) In terms of research hotspots, corpus-based translation studies, legal translation training, and translator education are the main areas of concentration for legal translation in the West.

This data was used to determine the sire’s random effect and various determinate effects of birth year, season in which animal born, gender of lamb, and weight of ewe at lambing on the performance of these sheep. According to estimated least-squares averages, the average daily gains ADG1 (birth to weaning stage), ADG2 (weaning stage to 6 months of age), and ADG3 (6 months to 12 months of age) were, in order, 118.69±0.55 g day-1, 64.94±0.70 g day-1, and 30.60±0.49 g day-1. These values corresponded to Kleiber ratios KR1, KR2, and KR3, were 16.42±0.04, 6.79±0.06, and 2.69±0.06, respectively. In terms of sire, period of lambing, season of lambing, and sex of lamb, each factor was highly consequential (p<0.01) for every attribute under study. All age groupings showed that males were heavier than females. With the exception of ADG2 and ADG3, these traits significantly correlated with the ewe ‘s weight at lambing. In which every trait had a positive regression coefficient with the exception of KR2. It should be crucial to guide these significant factors to obtain higher growth performance of lambs for farm management.
