Bioenergy has obvious advantages over conventional fossil fuels owing to its renewability and huge capacity, which dominating role in shielding the energy security that can be a favourable alternative disruption of food, resources atmosphere. In order maintain their immediate levels restore atmosphere, coal-based countries need fuels. For example, wonder inclusion renewable are biofuels derived from crop residues devoid sacrificing on food production. Annually, about 65 million tonnes (or...
Colchicum luteum is currently a rare and threatened medicinal plant species in the Kashmir Himalaya. Due to subsequent increase anthropogenic pressure on species, it imperative understand phytosociological conservational status of its natural habitat. The objectives this study were analysed year 2018-2019 data, viz. density, frequency, abundance, as well rhizospheric soil microbial diversity C. disturbed undisturbed areas We examined distribution pattern, conservation by analysing ecological...
The large genetic evolution due to the sexual reproduction-mediated gene assortments and propensities has made Venturia inaequalis (causing apple scab) unique with respect its management strategies. resistance in germplasm against scab, being controlled for by more than fifteen genes, limited alteration-based investigations. Therefore, a biological approach of bacterial endophyte community dynamics was envisioned across context fungistatic behavior V. inaequalis. A total 155 colonies...
Colchicum luteum L. is an economically important medicinal plant species of the North Western Himalaya. The corm extract this utilized in treatment many diseases. It also used extensively breeding program for doubling chromosomes. antifungal activities aqueous and ethanolic extracts were investigated study. These tested against fungi, Colletotrichum sp. Fusarium oxysporum. (100 mg mL−1) inhibited F. oxysporum with inhibition zones 19.2 mm 18.3 mm, respectively, whereas 17.1 15.2...
Colchicum luteum L. is an economically important and endangered medicinal plant of the Kashmir Himalaya. The corm extract used for treatment rheumatism, gout, Behcet’s syndrome, Alzheimer disease. It also extensively in breeding programs doubling chromosomes. present study was carried out two years (2017–2019) to genetic diversity C. luteum, mapping estimated using Mahalanobis D2 analysis Aharbal (Kulgam), Dhara (Theed), Baera Baal Hills (Harwan) Valley. results showed presence 5 clusters 30...
The less phytopathogen susceptibility in Himalayan Brassica rapa L. has made it an exceptional crop eluding synthetic pesticide inputs, thereby guarantying economically well-founded and ecologically sustainable agriculture. relevance of niche microflora this not been deliberated context, as endosymbiosiome is more stable than their rhizosphere counterparts on account restricted acquaintance with altering environment; therefore, the present investigation was carried out to study endophytic...
Impact of anthropogenic activities on physico-chemical properties sediment Hokersar wetland was carried in summer, spring and autumn seasons. Sediment at Inlet site having higher value for physicochemical parameters viz; EC (0.509 dS/m), available nitrogen (109.86 mg/kg), potassium (89.97 phosphorus (10.18 Ca (352.53 mg/kg) Mg (152.44 except pH which highest (7.99) Outlet. The values all the were found maximum summer season minimum (7.81) lower (7.16) summer. Highest Fe (23.90 Mn (8.54 Cu...
Abstract Research studies have been carried out to accentuate Fennel Seed Spent, a by-product of the Nutraceutical Industry, as an inexpensive, recyclable and operational biosorbent for bioremediation Acid Blue 113 (AB113) in simulated water-dye samples textile industrial effluent (TIE). The physical process adhesion AB113 on surface depends various parameters, such initial amount dye, expanse particles, pH solution temperature medium. data obtained was analyzed using three two-parameter...
The present study aimed to develop a novel, efficient and cost effective protocol for in-vitro micro propagation of tomato male sterile line consisted two experiments viz., Standardization sterilizing the explants in vitro (Shalimar FMS-1) development shoot root regeneration single medium.Among various sterilization treatments, sodium hypochlorite (1.0%) 45 seconds showed highest survival percentage (100% hypocotyl 91.66% node cutting) minimum contamination (16.17% 17.22% case cutting).Among...
An experiment entitled "Standardization of Growing Media for Pot Culture Crown Lily (Fritillaria imperialis L.)'' was carried out at the Floricultural experimental field SKUAST-K during year 2017-18.The investigation involved 11 treatment combinationsVermicompost 1:1:1, T 7 = Soil + Sand Vermicompost 1:1:2, 8 +Sand Sheep manure 9 10 Forest litter 1:1:1 and 1:1:2) laid in triplicate Completely Randomized Design (CRD).The results study revealed that (Soil significantly improved vegetative,...
The present investigation explores the variability of Bunium persicum populations belonging to different regions. Variability among 74 genotypes for thirty-seven traits (29 quantitative and 8 qualitative) were studied ascertain population structure persicum. Among agro-morphological traits, wide range was recorded in tuber shape, colour, seed growth habit, leaf umbel plant height (22.90-96.52 cm), primary branches plant-1 (1-6), diameter (6.17 - 13.67 number umbels (1-12), (8-40), yield per...
Trace elements are a major pollutant in the river water and these pollutants present all components of ecological system. Since time immemorial, River Veshaw has been one important sources shaped cultural social values Kashmir Valley. This study was conducted rural parts South Western Himalaya from February to January 2020–2022. The provides various ecosystem services local communities as well upper lower stream regions form many direct indirect services. is polluted by human waste both...
