RÉSUMÉ
A field experiment was carried out on the Instructional Farm, which finds its location intricately linked to the Department of Fruit Science at the esteemed College of Horticulture and Forestry in Jhalarapatan, a prominent site within the Jhalawar region. during (2021-22 and 2022-23) with the object of assessing the response of foliar humic acid on growth attributes of Jamun (Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels) cv. Goma Priyanka. Four doses of Potassium silicate (KS) 0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm were tried in 4 treatments in a factorial randomized block design. The foliar response of Potassium silicate KS3 (3000 ppm) treatment registered relatively better plant growth parameters viz. rootstock girth, scion girth, plant height, canopy volume, canopy spread E-W, N-S, of Jamun cv. Goma Priyanka plants.
RÉSUMÉ
Histoid leprosy, an unusual variant of lepromatous leprosy, originally thought to manifest following dapsone monotherapy, is being increasingly reported ‘de-novo’. We hereby report four de-novo cases; one mimicking lupus pernio presenting with an uncommon lesion (plaque) at an extremely rare site (nose). Of the remaining three classical cases, one exhibited a not-so-frequent development of erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) reaction that needed modified multidrug therapy for two years, other three responded well to standard multibacillary multidrug therapy which was also given for two years.
