Merrill) under Nagaland condition. Methods: The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 15 treatments combinations viz sulphur (0 kg ha-1, 20 kg ha-1 and 40 kg ha-1), zinc (0 kg ha-1, 5 kg ha-1, 10 kg ha-1, 15 kg ha-1, and 20 kg ha-1) replicated thrice. Result: The results obtained showed that the plant growth and yield attributes were significantly influenced by the treatment combination of S20Zn20. The application of 20 kg S ha-1 showed higher plant height, number of leaves and branches per plant, shoot dry weight, leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR), number of nodules and was found to be quite comparable with the treatment of 40 kg S ha-1. The zinc fertilization of 20 kg Zn ha-1 showed greater response by the plant and showed increased plant height, number of leaves and branches per plant, shoot dry weight, leaf area index (LAI) and number of nodules at par with 15 kg Zn ha-1. A higher number of pods (40.48 and 40.89), seed yield of (1.07 t ha-1 and 1.10 t ha-1) and stover yield (1.97 t ha-1 and 2.02 t ha-1) were observed in 20 kg S ha-1 and 20 kg Zn ha-1 fertilization respectively as compared to the other levels of treatments. However, the length of pods, number of seeds per pod, test weight and harvest index did not differ significantly by the treatments.","PeriodicalId":7599,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest – A Research Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88179623","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 biological effect of the chemical mutagen on plant tissues is determined by the absorption dose which is calculated by the product of the concentration of the mutagen and the treatment duration. Standardizing the treatment conditions for the best possible mutagenesis is the first prerequisite in chemical mutagenesis. Methods: Five concentrations of EMS (5 mM, 10 mM, 15 mM, 20 mM and 25 mM), three treatment durations (1 hr, 2 hr and 3 hr) and two pre-treatment conditions (soaking in water and non-soaking in water) were taken into consideration in the current study to examine the significance of each factor in regulating the mutation and to determine the unknown value of “Absorption dose” from the known survival rate. Result: The present study revealed that pretreatment with water affected the absorption of EMS into plant tissues and an increase in the EMS concentration and treatment duration decreased the survival rate of the cuttings. The study led to the inference that pretreatment of cuttings of Jasminum auriculatum ecotype Muthu Mullai with water for 2 hours and treatment with EMS at different concentrations of EMS ranging from 5 mM to 30 mM for a duration of 2 hours is suggested for higher mutation frequency.\u0000","PeriodicalId":7599,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest – A Research Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83526148","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}

To avoid these side effects the best substitutes are biopesticides, but the use of biopesticides is much less as compared to chemical pesticides. There are many reason for this, one of the main reason is the lack of their resources, so it is necessary that new resources of the biopesticides should be discovered. For this review article we have collected research papers from 2010 to 2022. All these research papers collected are based on antimicrobial activities, chemical analysis etc. of weed plants extracts. We have tabulated some important information related to the weed plants used in these research articles. All research papers gathered from the authentic sources.

Methods: Blood samples were collected from 50 owned and stray dogs of various breeds. The presence of CoPV antigen (Ag) in the blood samples investigated. Tissue samples from the papilloma mass were collected for auto vaccination and histopathological examination. CoPV (Ag) was found in the blood of dogs with papilloma lesions who were randomly divided and treated into two groups. While group 1 receives autologous vaccines and immune-supportive ZylexisTM, Group 2 receives PAPILENDTM® cream, immune-boosting ZylexisTM and premix powder (vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper). Result: The dogs have an average age of 31.9+7.4 months. CoPV (Ag) was detected in half of all dogs with papilloma lesions. The histopathological examination typically revealed an increased epidermal layer. In the treatment of group 1, the mean remission period was 21-30 days. This period was determined to be 15-30 days in 15 animals from the second treatment group. Lesions were successfully treated in all dogs with CoPV (Ag) in both groups.

Understanding the effect of different soil types on phenology and heat units is important in new crop like quinoa. Therefore, in this investigation, different soil types that widely dispersed around Coimbatore were used to evaluate the performance of quinoa on its phenology and further heat units. Methods: Pot experiment was carried out in the Department of Agronomy, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during Kharif 2022 season. Eight soil types were collected from different areas around Coimbatore and tested in completely randomized design with three replications. Development of phonological stages were noted and in turn calculated heat units by using standard formulae. Result: Results of the investigation revealed that clay loam textured Ooty soils took maximum days to attain four phenological stages, viz., branching, panicle initiation, flowering and physiological maturity of quinoa than other soils. Similarly, more heat units (Growing Degree Days, Helio Thermal Units, Photo Thermal Units and Relative Temperature Disparity) were recorded with the soils collected from Ooty when compared to other soils. Sandy loam soils of Mettupalayam registered the least number of days to attain different developmental stages and also recorded the lowest heat units of quinoa. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that among eight different soils, the growth of quinoa was prolonged in clay loam textured Ooty soils and correlation with yield indicated that extending duration enhanced the yield.","PeriodicalId":7599,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest – A Research Journal","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85084255","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}

Methods: The experiment was carried out on three soil profiles (Solonchaks) which are located in the perimeter of the Mina which is located in the Bas-Chélif. Result: The study of the temporal evolution of salinity showed that the majority of horizons underwent desalination between the 2010 and 2014 campaign. This desalination occurred at a speed between 3.67 and 10.74 dS m-1 per year. This would be due to a partial leaching of salts from the surface horizons during the rainy season. The soils studied are marked by a higher salinity during the 2010 compared to the 2014 campaign.
