and indicated their sizes from 30 – 40 nm (Figure 1a). SEM micrograph clearly illustrates that the magnetite nanoparticles sizes varied from 27.3– 34.62 nm (Figure 1b). Leaf fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) FW and DW of peppermint leaves decreased in different concentrations of NaCl (Table 1). Several factors such as reduction of photosynthesis, degradation of cell membranes, reducing of plant available water and Na+ accumulation in the leaves were the main causes of weight loss under salt
Review of Related Literature HISTORY OF VERMICOMPOSTING Vermicomposting, as an industrial process, was originally developed to remove unwanted organic materials from the agricultural and industrial waste streams. The derived product: earthworm castings, is now recognized as a high value material which, when blended with soil, can restore soil tilth by correcting the imbalances caused by the over-utilization of petrol-chemical based fertilizers; thus enabling crops and plants to naturally combat pests
including Scandium, Yttrium and 15 Lanthanides with Z ranging continuously from 57 to 71. These elements encompass nearly all electronic, clean energy, and military technologies due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Despite world-wide usage of these elements, presently China bears a monopoly in rare earth market owing to its huge rare earth deposits. The ever increasing demand and restricted export of REE from China has forced counties around the world to explore resources available
preparing a raw material containing more than 80% of fish heads, boiling the raw material to obtain a stock, removing solids and oil contents from the stock to obtain stock liquid, thereafter treating the stock liquid in a decomposition tank with decomposing enzyme for enzyme decomposition, filtering the enzyme-decomposed stock
INTRODUCTION Bitter gourd is a vegetable and it belongs to the family cucurbitacea. It is grown for both commercial as well as economic purpose across the various state of the country. It is produced mainly in tropical and sub-tropical regions of India i.e. Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Botanical name: Memordica charantia Season: Jan – Mar & Sept – Dec are the ideal seasons. For rainy season crop, sowing can started after the receiving of first few showers during May-June. The

These make holes in the starting leaves which emerges from a watermelon seed during seedling emergence or formation. Control: Spray Carbaryl (4 ml/litre of water) or Metacid (1ml/litre of water) during the seedling stage. 2) Aphids (Aphis sp.): Aphids attack the plant leaves & suck the leaf sap. This lead
DEVELOPMENT OF PROTECTED AGRICULTURE AND GREENHOUSES: People want to “grow out of season” (i.e., have tomatoes in Winter) or grow plants where they don’t normally grow (i.e., lettuce, a cold weather crop, in Tucson in the Summer!). Therefore, move the plant from the natural environment to an artificial one… using protected agriculture and/or greenhouses. Modify or control the temperature, relative humidity, CO2, light, etc., to provide optimum conditions to grow any crop any time anywhere! What discoveries
