Marble waste, a byproduct of extensive mining and processing activities, poses significant environmental challenges, particularly concerning groundwater contamination. This study assesses the impact marble waste on quality parameters in areas with activities. Groundwater samples were collected from various sites, including those near disposal control analyzed for key physicochemical such as pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), heavy metals (lead, cadmium, chromium). The results...
Background Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition caused by a germline pathogenic variant, or epigenetic silencing, of mismatch repair (MMR) gene, leading to wide spectrum with gene-specific penetrance. Ascertainment, assessment and testing LS individuals complex. A Canadian national guideline needed ensure equitable access patient care across the country. Methods The Syndrome (CDN-LS) working group was formed in 2021, consisting 37 multidisciplinary experts...
An experiment was conducted during 2021 and 2022 at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Institute Maize Research, Ludhiana, Punjab to study efficacy zinc oxide sulphate for urea coating achieve higher productivity in maize (Zea mays L.). Experiment laid out a randomized block design (RBD) comprised 11 treatments, viz. no Zn; 0.05% Zn through ZnO; 0.12% 0.24% 0.47% 0.95% 0.26% ZnSO4; 0.52% 1.03% 2.07% 4.15% ZnSO4, replicated thrice. Results indicated that grains/cob cob weight/plant recorded...
Baramasi lemon is an attractive fruit for its unique flavor and acidity. Harvesting period of winter crop coincides with the cooler part year there low consumption fruits during winters, which leads to glut in market. lemons are sensitive chilling injury it difficult store commercial cold stores. So, a need enhance shelf-life at ambient conditions. Keeping this view, experiment was conducted 2014 study effect chemicals modified atmosphere packaging on storage life quality fruits. Mature...
Abstract An experiment was conducted to study the effect of mulches and herbicides on weed population, fruit yield, quality in peach cv. 'Earli Grande.' Covering soil with black polythene mulch (100 μm) resulted 100% control weeds at six weeks after treatment (WAT) during both years study. However, guinea grass, which had emerged out mulch, reduced efficiencies (WCE) 96.3 98.5% 2009 2010, respectively, 12 WAT. Application straw (8 cm, 15.5 t ha− 1) higher 6 WAT 2010 (98.4 98.2%,...
The harvesting period of winter crop Baramasi lemon coincides with the cooler part year and there is often a glut like situation in market at its peak harvest time. This results low returns to growers. A study was planned enhance storage life baramasi fruits were harvested green mature stage along small pedicel month January. Only healthy dipped 0.1% bavistin solution for 2 minutes after shade drying packed (four each pack) high density polyethylene (HDPE) (LDPE) bags. Fruits also waxed...
The main objective of the present programme was to widen varietal range early ripening peach cultivars. Crosses were made between Shan-i-Punjab x Florda Prince, Flordaglo and Shan-i- Punjab Prabhat. embryos these crosses rescued after 65, 75 85 days crossing cultured in MS basal medium supplemented with varying concentration BAP (0 2 mg/l) IBA 1 mg/l). After stratification at 4°C, embryo tubes transferred a growth chamber 24 ± 2°C for germination. Seeds harvested showed maximum germination...
Lemons are a rich source of various bioactive compounds, which deteriorate rapidly with the progression their storage period. The key objective present study was to preserve antioxidant activities and quality lemon fruits by application beeswax coating (BW 2%) enriched sodium nitroprusside (SNP 1, 2 4 mM) during low temperature storage. surface BW (2%) combined SNP (1 significantly reduced weight loss, maintained higher amounts titratable acidity, juice, ascorbic acid (AsA) content in...
Effects of potassium fertigation on the productivity Kinnow were investigated in rich soils South-Western Punjab, India during 2018–2020. Three application rates i.e. 1000, 750 and 500 g Muriate Potash (MoP; 60% K as K2O) per tree applied at fortnightly intervals two, three four splits February, May, July September. The results compared with standard recommendation for region (three foliar sprays 1% nitrate) no (control). experiment was laid out randomized block design, replicated thrice....
The present investigation was aimed at assessing the efficacy of N1-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N3-phenylurea (CPPU) and salicylic acid on fruit retention, yield, quality mango cv. Dusehri. research carried out Department Fruit Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India. experiment conducted simultaneously two different locations for cropping seasons during 2019–20 2020–21. retention enhancing treatments 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D) (@20 ppm), CPPU (@5, 10, 15 (@100, 200, 300...
Papaya is an important fruit crop of tropical region. However, it can be grown successfully in the sub-tropical regions north India with suitable precautions. The major limitations papaya cultivation on commercial scale Punjab include dioecious nature varieties, extremes temperature, frost, water-logging causing wilt and susceptibility to viral diseases (leaf curl mosaic). These problems managed some extent by growing plants under protected conditions. In present study, five namely, Surya,...
Peach trees were trained to four systems, viz.Yshaped, Hedge row, Espailer and V trellis.Irrespective of the training system in upper canopy total PAR increased from January July then a decrease was recorded.However, lower an inverse trend recorded.The radiation intercepted during year maximum (59.99%) followed by trellis (57.76%).Minimum interception (49.05%) recorded row.Upper part tree received more which influenced fruit quality terms size, weight, acidity, sugars, firmness.
The present study was conducted to investigate the impact of different inter-crops on pre-bearing behavior pear. Increment for rootstock diameter, plant height, spread and canopy volume were observed in intercropping systems. There significant effect intercrops growth pear trees, except with poplar, where height tree significantly lower. Photosynthesis rate higher trees than open conditions maximum recorded Kinnow (7.44 μmol m
