ABSTRACT
National Agriculture Market (e-NAM) is an electronic trading portal that networks the existing APMC markets to create a unified national market for agricultural commodities. The main aim of the study was to determine the willingness to participate in e-NAM trading by farmers and traders in Sultanpur district of Uttar Pradesh. The primary data was collected through 90 farmers and 30 traders by face-to-face interview with the help of survey schedule; this study was conducted in 2021-22, to find out the willingness, Binary Logit regression model was used. In the study the explanatory variables of farmers were social category, age of the respondent, education, produce sold to arhatiya or village traders and istance from mandi, according to analysis if education increased then willingness of farmers also increased with a coefficient of 3.27 similarly if the farmer is selling his produce to mandi arhatiya rather than a village trader then his probability to participate in e-NAM will increase by about 2.38 times. On other hand explanatory variables of Traders were social category, age of the traders, education level of traders, lending money to farmer, number of functions involved by traders in mandi and Business profits etc. All explanatory variables are significantly but only one variable which was not significantly i.e. Business profits because traders were afraid that their income will be known.

ABSTRACT
The present study highlights the effect of Iron and Silicon on growth and yield of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.). Si occurs primarily in soil solution as monosilicic acid (H4SiO4) at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 mm and is taken up by plants in this form. Silicon can mitigate the negative effects of abiotic stresses such as high temperature, freezing, drought, lodging, radiation, irradiation, and UV, as well as chemical stresses such as salt, nutrient imbalance, and metal toxicity. A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season 2022 at experimental field of Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The soil at the test site had a sandy loam texture, a pH of 7.3 that was almost neutral, and low levels of available potassium (215.4 kg/ha), nitrogen (230 kg/ha), phosphorus (13.60 kg/ha), and organic carbon (0.48%). The treatments consist of foliar spray of iron (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 %) at 35, 45 DAS and Foliar spray of Silicon (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 ml/L) at 50 DAS along with control (RDF: 80:40:40 NPK Kg/ha). The experiment was layout in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments each replicated thrice. Significantly higher plant height (205.66 cm), maximum plant dry weight (133.2 g) and the yield attributes namely test weight (25.82 g), grains/earhead (2368.33), grain yield (2850.00 Kg/ha), stover yield (4004.67 Kg/ha), maximum gross return (84645.00 INR/ha), net return (52313.00 INR/ha) and benefit cost ratio (1.61) were obtained in the treatment 9 with the application of 1.50% Iron along with 1.50ml/L Si.

ABSTRACT
A field investigation was conducted in Kharif (2022), at a Crop Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P). To study the “ Influence of foliar application of zinc on growth and yield of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) varieties.” An experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments each replicated thrice. The treatments consist of three different pearl millet varieties (Kaveri super boss, Nutra pearl, Nandi-75) and foliar application of Zinc on 25 DAS and 25 and 50 DAS respectively. The experimental results revealed that significantly higher values of growth parameters viz., plant height (191. 87 cm), dry weight accumulation (58.75 g/plant), CGR (10.55 g/m2/day) and yield attributes viz., ear head length (19.50 cm), grains/ear head (1203.60), test weight (10.02 g), grain yield (1.37 t/ha), straw yield (1.70 t/ha) were recorded maximum in treatment (Kaveri Super Boss + ZnSO4 0.5% (at 25 and 50 DAS) T3. These parameters were significantly influenced by increasing the foliar spray of ZnSO4.
ABSTRACT
At the Department of Agronomy's Crop Research Farm, SHUATS, Prayagraj, a field experiment was carried out in the month of Zaid 2022. (U.P). The soil in the experimental plot had a sandy loam texture, a pH of 7.1 that was almost neutral, a low level of organic carbon (0.36%), and low availability of the nutrients N, P, K (171.48 kg/ha, 15.2 kg/ha, and 232.5 kg/ha, respectively). Ten treatments, each replicated three times, were used in the experiment, which was set up using a randomised block design over the course of a year. The treatments which are T1: Sugar-75 + 0.1 % boron foliar application, T2: Sugar-75 + 0.2 % boron foliar application, T3: Sugar-75 + 0.3 % boron foliar application, T4: Madhuri + 0.1 % boron foliar application, T5: Madhuri + 0.2 % boron foliar application, T6: Madhuri + 0.3 % boron foliar application, T7: Misthi + 0.1 % boron foliar application, T8: Misthi + 0.2 % boron foliar application, T9: Misthi + 0.3 % boron foliar application, T10: Control - N:P:K-120:60:40(kg/ha) are used. The results showed that treatment T9-Misthi + 0.3% boron foliar application was recorded significantly higher growth parameters like Plant height (175.5 cm), Plant dry weight (141.6 g/plant) at 80 DAS and highest Crop growth rate (22.1 g/m2/day) at 60-80 DAS. However, yield attributes and yield parameters like No. of Cobs/plant (1.81), No. of Grains/Cob (617.7), No. of Rows/cob (14.37), Seed index (68.4 g), cob length (18.5 cm), Grain yield (9.5 t/ha), Stover yield (15.4 t/ha) were recorded with the treatment T9-Misthi+ 0.3 % boron foliar application.
ABSTRACT
During the summer season of 2022, a field experimental trail on groundnut was performed at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) to evaluate the impact of micronutrients on the growth and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) varieties. The experimental plot's soil was sandy loam in texture, virtually neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.7), low in organic carbon (0.44%), available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (27.00 kg/ha), and available K (291.20 kg/ha). The experiment was designed in the Randomized Block Design (RBD) method, with nine treatments repeated three times. According to this trial, the treatments are zinc (0.5%), boron (0.2%), zinc+ boron (0.5%+0.2%) as foliar spray, and varieties. (Kadiri 6, Kadiri 9, Kadiri Amaravati). The treatment combinations are, T1-0.5% Zinc (foliar) + Kadiri 6, T2- 0.5% Zinc (foliar) + Kadiri 9, T3- 0.5% Zinc (foliar) + Kadiri Amaravati, T4- 0.2% Boron (foliar) + Kadiri 6, T5- 0.2% Boron (foliar) + Kadiri 9, T6- 0.2% Boron (foliar) + Kadiri Amaravati, T7- (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn+ B (foliar) + Kadiri 6, T8- (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn+ B (foliar) + Kadiri 9, T9- (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn+ B (foliar) + Kadiri Amaravati. (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn + B (foliar) application with variety Kadiri 6 resulted in greater Plant height (26.60cm), Nodules/plant (49.14), and Plant dry weight (6.56 g/plant). Maximum number of pods per plant (27.87), kernels per pod (2.66), seed index (40.13 g), seed yield (2.48 t/ha), haulm yield (5.67 t/ha), and harvest index (30.44%). Thus, using (0.5% + 0.2%) Zn + B (foliar) in conjunction with the variety Kadiri 6 could be a promising choice for increasing groundnut yield.
ABSTRACT
Xanthomas are focal infiltrates of lipid-containing histiocytic foam cells that are usually found within the dermis or tendons. It is a clinical manifestation of lipoprotein metabolic disorders. We report a case of tuberous xanthoma in a 45-year-old woman who presented with multiple firm papules and nodules involving multiple sites of the body/including the amputated right forearm with elevated serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL arid VLDL
ABSTRACT
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis [EV] is a rare genodermatosis characterized by a unique susceptibility to cutaneous infection by a group of phylogenetically related human papilloma viruses [HPVs]. These patients show a defect in cell-mediated immunity specific toward the causative HPVs that leads to lifelong disease. The defect is usually inherited as autosomal recessive trait and presents clinically with plane warts, pityriasis versicolor-like lesions and reddish verrucous plaques. Dysplastic and malignant changes in the form of actinic keratoses, Bowen's disease and squamous cell carcinoma [SCC] are common but metastasis occurs rarely. A totally effective treatment against EV is as yet highly desirable. We report a case of EDV in a 13-year-old female patient with confluent wart like lesions, pityriasis versicolor like lesions and reddish plaques. The case is being reported in view of rarity of disease
