Abstract Background Shifting cultivation is a major agriculture practice in the Nagaland state of India. This study examines effect shifting and length fallow period on soil quality index (SQI). Four sites were selected for study, viz., site (SCS), 3-year-old land (FL-3), 7-year-old (FL-7), 12-year-old (FL-12). Soil parameters recorded seasonally SQI was calculated from minimum data set. Results With increase period, values conductivity, organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorus,...
Monitoring the physico-chemical attributes of water is essential for determining quality. The present study explores effect various anthropogenic factors on quality Dikhu River, Nagaland. Water samples from three sampling stations were compared against standards: Indian Council Medical Research, Bureau Standards, and World Health Organization. Although all parameters within permissible limits, Quality Index categorized sites during rainy season as "poor quality", highlighting impacts. A...
Background: Riparian vegetation maintains the river ecosystem. This acts as a filter for water body. The also hosts naturally rich flora which tribal people utilize traditional herbal drug. With increase in anthropogenic disturbance, there is need to document and inventory this bioresource. Methods: Vegetation analysis of Dzücha River was conducted by line transect quadrat method diversity Indices were recorded. Ethnobotanical information on use various plants collected via oral interviews...
The present study explores the carbon sequestration potential of two extensively cultivated banana cultivars, i.e.Atsu Mungo and Aot Mungo, from Nagaland, North East India.The Musa cultivars were planted on experimental plots along an altitudinal gradient.Plant traits such as suckers, number leaves, height diameter at breast recorded.The biomass estimated using allometric equations.The had substantial ability higher values observed lower altitudes for both cultivars.
Background: Soil Fungi play a vital role in maintaining the soil health. Such Microbial communities offer stability and greater yield agro-ecosystems. The current study was aimed to evaluate diversity of rhizospheric fungi present Banana plantation site estimate values selected physico-chemical parameters soil.Methods: samples were collected from two sites i.e. Site MK ZB, Nagaland State, India During month October 2019. temperatures, pH, Moisture, organic carbon Available Nitrogen measured...
In agricultural farming operations, the incompatibility between operators' physical capability and labor demands in operation of tools equipment results a decreased performance, productivity, safety related measures.The aim this study was to collect biomechanical database push/pull strengths for initiating development human-centered design that is not available intended user group, i.e. Nagaland.The sample consisted 399 male 271 female workers from five districts Nagaland, aged 18 65 years,...
Background: Water quality monitoring is vital for the sustainable conservation of water resources. Benthic macro invertebrates have been documented as best indicators serving a link in aquatic food web. The present work was carried out at Dikhu River, Mokokchung, Nagaland. Methods: analysis samples done by adopting standard methods and compared against W.H.O. 1995 drinking standards water. macroinvertebrates were collected with help Surber preserved 5% formalin examined using inverted...
Two sites were selected from the district of Mokokchung, Nagaland viz., Forest Regeneration Site (FRS) and Shifting Cultivation (SCS). At FRS, soil pH ranged 5.00±0.13–5.50±0.04, moisture 35.44±1.09–53.39±0.84%, temperature 14.33±0.47–23.83±0.23 °C, organic carbon 2.20±0.08–3.03±0.02% available nitrogen 424.48±6.73– 547.46±2.10 Kg/ha. SCS, 5.94±0.24–6.53±0.02, 30.32±2.64–45.72±0.98%, 17.83±0.62–26.1±0.08 1.67±0.29–2.34±0.08% 324.16±8.42– 443.20±1.06 Significant correlation between...
