RÉSUMÉ

Agriculture is basis of livelihood for a major portion of world population. It provides food to humans. With the increasing population and climate change there is need to enhance production to fulfil the demand of growing population. Remote sensing technology has potential to predict nutrient requirement by providing various information related to plant and soil in quantitative terms thereby increasing productivity. It plays important role in monitoring crop health, crop growth and development, nutrient management, pest and disease management, water management and weed management. Evaluation of crop canopy provide various information regarding agronomic parameters. The data obtained from remote sensing provides a better alternative for natural management than traditional methods and this kind of management enhances efficiency of various resources by avoiding their overuse. By using this technology, we can improve traditional methods of agriculture and bring out changes in the field of agriculture. This paper reviews remote sensing technology for crop health monitoring, highlighting its importance with new ideas for agriculture.

RÉSUMÉ

Weeds are the main biotic obstacles on wheat production, which can impair wheat productivity by up to 60%, if not handled under critical stages of crop life cycle. Chemical weed control through herbicides has been the most popular and effective method among farmers. The weed management using similar herbicides however has led to herbicide resistance in weeds. This requires the evaluation of newer herbicidal combinations for the control of weeds in wheat. Therefore, an experiment was conducted at Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, JNKVV, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh during the Rabi season of 2016-17 to evaluate the effect of post emergence application of herbicides on the weeds and yield of wheat. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with ten treatments comprising of eight herbicidal combinations along with a hand weeding and a weed check and replicated thrice. Observations on different weed parameters, growth parameters and yield of wheat were recorded. Among the different herbicidal combinations, the post emergence application of halauxifen-methyl ester + florasulam at 10.20 g/ha resulted in greatest suppression of weeds and had highest weed control efficiency (56.73%). It also led to highest growth in wheat which resulted in highest grain yield (5.81 t/ha) and harvest index (44.99%). From this study, it can be concluded that the post emergence application of halauxifen-methyl ester + florasulam at 10.20 g/ha can not only control weeds effectively but also increase the yield of wheat.

RÉSUMÉ

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season (2020-21) at AICRP on Wheat, College of Agriculture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (MP), India, to study the effect of pinoxaden on weeds and the yield of wheat. The field experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with seven treatments and replicated thrice. Treatments included applying different doses of pinoxaden at 40, 45, and 90 g a.i. ha-1, clodinafop propargyl at 90 g a.i. ha-1, sulfosulfuron at 25 g a.i. ha-1 as post-emergence along with hand weeding at 30 DAS and weedy check. The experimental field was dominated by Phalaris minor (15.6%) among monocot weeds, while Medicago denticulata (30.82%), Cichorium intybus (29.94%), Chenopodium album (15.32%), and Anagallis arvensis (8.30%) among the dicot weeds throughout the crop growing period. Among the different herbicidal treatments, pinoxaden at 90 g a.i. ha-1 effectively controlled the monocot and dicot weeds and recorded higher weed control efficiency and the lowest weed index. However, the highest value of growth parameters, yield attributes, and grain yield was recorded with the application of pinoxaden at 45 g a.i. ha-1 among all the herbicidal treatments.

RÉSUMÉ

The advancements in fodder maize cultivation practices over the past few years, has paved a change in the makeup of weed associations. This made it necessary to incorporate new, effective herbicides in the struggle against maize's primary weeds. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted at Research Farm, AICRP on Forage Crops, Department of Agronomy, JNKVV, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) during Kharif season 2019 to devise an appropriate combination of herbicides required for the control of the complex weed diversity in fodder maize. The field experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with ten treatments (eight herbicidal combinations along with hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 DAS and a weedy check) and replicated thrice. Observations were recorded on the weed parameters and fodder yield of maize. Among monocots, the experimental field was infested with Echinochloa colona, Commelina communis and Digitaria sanguinalis. Phyllanthus niruri and Eclipta alba were dominated among dicots. Among all herbicidal treatment, topramezone 35 g/ha plus atrazine 250 g/ha was found to be significantly superior in reducing total weed density (9.49/m2, 11.50/m2) and total weed dry weight (6.43 g/m2, 7.91 g/m2) at 30 and 45 DAS, respectively and recorded the lowest weed index (1.82%). Also, the maximum green fodder yield (472.68 q/ha) was recorded in topramazone 35 g/ha + atrazine 250 g/ha compared to other treatments. Overall, this study indicated that the combination of topramazone 35 g/ha + atrazine 250 g/ha could be an alternative approach to hand weeding and alone herbicides in fodder maize.

RÉSUMÉ

Newer herbicides are required to reduce the losses cause by the weeds in maize crop. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted during kharif 2019 at Research Farm, AICRP on Forage Crops, Department of Agronomy, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) to study the effect of different weed management practices on productivity of Maize (Zea mays L.). The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with eight treatments (six herbicidal treatments with hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 DAS and weedy check) replicated thrice. Observations were recorded for various weed parameters and crop growth parameters. All the weed management treatments significantly reduced the total weed density and total dry weight of weeds as compared to weedy check. Among herbicidal treatments, mesotrione 350 g ha-1 recorded the lowest total weed density and total dry weight of weeds as compared to other herbicides. While highest total weed density and total dry weight were recorded under weedy check treatment. Significantly higher growth parameters and yield attributing traits were recorded with the application of mesotrione 350 g ha-1 which resulted in higher grain and stover yields (2447.22 and 21804.72 kg ha-1) followed by mesotrione 300 g ha-1. Maximum net returns and Benefit: Cost ratio was also obtained with the application of mesotrione 350 g ha-1.

RÉSUMÉ

Background: Appendicectomy remains to be one of the most common procedures performed by the general surgeon. Laparoscopic appendicectomy is likely to have less postoperative pain, less use of analgesics, early discharge, decreased wound infection, better cosmetics and also diagnostic and early return to routine work. Method: This is a comparative study of 50 cases of appendicitis divided equally into two groups 25 in open and 25 in the laparoscopic which were randomly selected and operated in the department of general surgery at PMCH, Patna. Results: In present study pain score was 2.97±0.7 for open group as compared to 1.56±0.7 in lap group (p<0.05) because of longer incision stretch of muscles and wound infection. Post operative complications like vomiting was lower in laparoscopic group with 12% as compared with 40% in open group (p<0.05) and ileus was lower in lap group with 27±4.6 and for open group 31±5.4 with p<0.05 which were significant. There is significant reduction in incidence of post operative wound infection in lap group 0% as compared to open group 32% (p<0.05). Duration of postoperative hospital stay was significantly low for lap group 2±0.78 as compared to open group 8±0.89. The return to normal activity was low for lap group 14±2.11 days as compared to open group 21.7±3.7days. Duration of surgery for open appendicectomy was 48±19 mins and for lap appendicectomy was 46±15 mins. Conclusions: Overall laparoscopic appendicectomy is better than open appendectomy in selected patients with acute or recurrent appendicitis.

RÉSUMÉ

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to perform molecular characterisation of the blaNDM plasmids and to understand the mechanism of its spread among pathogenic bacteria. Materials and Methods: Seventy-six non-repetitive carbapenem-resistant isolates which were collected during Nov 2011 to April 2013 from four hospitals in Chennai were analyzed for the presence of the blaNDM gene by PCR. Further, the genetic context of the blaNDM gene was analyzed by PCR specifi c to ISAba125 and bleMBL gene. One of the blaNDM plasmid was completely sequenced in the Illumina HiSeq platform. Results: Twenty-three isolates consisting of 8 Escherichia coli, 8 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 3 Klebsiella oxytoca, 3 Acinetobacter baumanii and 1 Pseudomonas aeruginosa were found to carry the blaNDM gene. In 18 isolates the blaNDM gene was associated with a bleMBL gene and the ISAba125 element. The complete sequencing of pNDM-MGR194 revealed an IncX3 replication type plasmid, with a length of 46,253 bp, an average GC content of 47% and 59 putative ORFs. The iteron region contained the blaNDM5 gene and the bleMBL, trpF and dsbC genes downstream and an IS5 inserted within the ISAba125 element upstream. Conclusion: This is the fi rst report where the blaNDM gene insertion in a plasmid is not accompanied by other resistance gene determinants. These observations suggest that the IncX3 plasmid pNDM-MGR194 is an early stage in the dissemination of the blaNDM.

RÉSUMÉ

Radiotherapy mainly involves treatment of patients with malignant tumors. Even with recognition of the risks of late skin injury, carcinogenesis, leukemogenesis, and genetic damage from all ionizing radiation; radiation therapy also continues to be accepted treatment for benign diseases. Before initiation, the quality of irradiation, total dose, overall time, underlying organs at risk, and shielding factors should be considered. Children should be treated with ionizing radiation only in very exceptional cases and after weighing the pros and cons of the therapy. Direct irradiation of skin areas overlying organs that are particularly prone to late effects (e.g. thyroid, eye, gonads, bone marrow and breast) should be avoided. Radiation protection techniques should be used in all instances. The depth of penetration of the x-ray beam should be chosen according to the depth of the pathologic process. Choice of beam energy usually depends on the depth of the target volume; every effort is made to spare normal underlying tissue in superficial lesions. There are a number of other benign conditions that can be treated with radiotherapy; we present a brief overview of some of the commonly encountered conditions.

RÉSUMÉ

Radiation therapy is often used in an attempt to palliate or cure oesophageal neoplasms. However, the radiation tolerance of the normal structures around the oesophagus (heart, lung and spinal cord) restricts the radiation dose that can be delivered. We used a nasogastric catheter to deliver High Dose Intra-luminal Iridium-192 irradiation for carcinoma of the oesophagus using HDR-Varisource machine. This technique for treatment of carcinoma of the oesophagus can help overcome the dose restraints. The external beam radiation dose was about 46 Gy and the intra luminal dose was 5 Gy at 1 cm from central axis. These after loading procedures are simple, fast and accurate and can be used to boost external radiation therapy doses. Since the intra luminal boost delivers a high-localized dose with little side effects, this simple technique should be used to obtain palliation, delay tumour progression, reduce overall treatment time and attempt to improve survival in patients with oesophageal neoplasm. Intra luminal brachytherapy helps achieve good palliation in these neoplasms.

RÉSUMÉ

Brachytherapy is potentially useful in the treatment of head-and-neck cancers, because most tumor sites, such as the lip, tongue, floor of mouth, tonsil, pharynx, nasopharynx, sinuses, and neck, are accessible for the placement of afterloading applicators and catheters. It has the advantage of delivering a higher radiation dose to the tumor while sparing surrounding normal tissue from radiation. Furthermore, the overall treatment duration is shorter, and the dose distribution confirms to tumor shape. Brachytherapy is used as "monotherapy" for the treatment of small primary tumors or recurrent disease after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Small cancers of the lip (less than 2 cm) are treated equally well with surgery or radiation therapy with excellent cosmetic and functional results seen in radiation therapy. We treated an 18-year old male diagnosed as stage I carcinoma lip with curative interstitial brachytherapy. He was treated to a dose of 3 Gy per fraction, two fractions per day at interval of 6 hours between the two fractions for 6 days. He therefore received a total dose of 36 Gy with High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy, which is equivalent to 58.36 Gy conventional radiotherapy dose. At two months follow, the patient is clinically disease free and has no complaints.

RÉSUMÉ

Radiotherapy for massive, symptomatic splenomegaly has been used in a palliative setting since the early 1990's. Massive splenomegaly may be seen in CML, CLL, hairy cell leukemia and splenic marginal zone lymphomas, prolymphocytic leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders such as polycythaemia rubra, polycythaemia vera or essential thrombocytosis or myelofibrosis. Splenic radiation therapy has been shown to be effective in palliation of the signs and symptoms due to massive splenomegaly. We present here one such case of myelofibrosis where the patient was treated with radiotherapy to the spleen for symptomatic relief. The patient achieved excellent response to the treatment.
