Varietal Effect of Different Nitrogen Levels on Yield Attributing Characters and Quality Parameters of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Crop

The field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research FaTArm, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj) Faizabad (U.P.), during Rabi season of 2014-2015. The yield components like number of spikes m-2, spike length (cm), number of grain spike-1, grain weight spike-1(g), grain yield (kg ha-1), straw yield (q ha-1) and nitrogen contain in grain (%), nitrogen contain in straw (%), nitrogen uptake in grain (kg ha-1), nitrogen uptake in straw, protein content in grain (%) were maximum under 160 kg N ha-1 and among the varieties over PBW-373, NW-1014 being at par with HD-2327. The main aim of trial conducted that to know the different varietal parameters of wheat crop.

Seasonal Incidence and Population Dynamics of Aulacophora foveicollis on Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria M.) and Their Correlation with Abiotic Factors

The present Investigation carried out at Students’ Instructional Farm, A. N. D. U. A. & T., Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during Zaid, 2022. Red pumpkin beetle was first recorded during incidence initiated in the 7th SMW (3rd week of February) with a mean population 1.4 beetles per five plants which reached its peak to maximum (21.20 beetles/five plants) during 14th SMW (1st week of April). There was a weakly positive association between the red pumpkin beetle population and the minimum and maximum temperature (0.067 & 0.40), maximum rainfall and relative humidity displayed an insignificant inverse relationship (-0.467 & -0.129) while significant negative correlation with minimum relative humidity (-0.506*).

Response of Organic and Inorganic Sources of Nitrogen Application in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Crop

An experiment conducted at Agriculture Research Farm, Shri Durga Ji Post Graduate College, Chandeshwar, Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh during winter session of 2019-20. Among the initial plant population per square meter was not influenced significantly due to various treatments. All the growth characters viz. plant height (cm), no. of shoots per meter row length and accumulation of dry matter, increased significantly at all the stages of crop growth with the application of 100% nitrogen through inorganic source except 30 DAS regarding to number of shoots.

Reaching the Poor with Adequately Iodized Salt through the Supplementary Nutrition Programme and Midday Meal Scheme in Madhya Pradesh, India.

Objectives: Adequately iodized salt needs to be made accessible to the most marginalized. Madhya Pradesh, a state in central India, is home to a substantial proportion of India's poor. In 2009, the coverage of adequately iodized salt in the state was nearly 90% among the richest households, but only about 50% among the poorest. Methods: In an effort to provide adequately iodized salt to the most vulnerable, in 2009 Madhya Pradesh launched a state-wide initiative to ensure the use of iodized salt in two national flagship nutrition programmes: the Supplementary Nutrition Programme of the Integrated Child Development Services and the Midday Meal Scheme. Programme staff members were taught how to correctly store salt and monitor its iodine content. Field monitors assessed the iodine content of the salt in the common kitchens of participating schools and anganwadi centers monthly. Results: Two hot meals prepared with adequately iodized salt were served daily for more than 21 days per month to approximately 89% of the 12,113,584 children aged 3-6 years enrolled in anganwadi centers (June 2011-March 2012). One meal on school days was served to 78% of 5,751,979 primary-school children and to 79% of 2,704,692 secondary school children (April 2011- March 2012). Most of the kitchens visited in 2010 (79%) and 2011 (83%) were consistently using adequately iodized salt to prepare hot meals. Conclusions: India has successful large-scale social safety net programmes targeting the most deprived population. Both national and state-level policies should mainstream the use of adequately iodized salt in these programmes.

Synchronous malignancies of breast and thyroid gland: a case report and review of literature.

The relationship and coincidence of breast cancer with thyroid disorders is a subject of extensive debate and controversy. Many studies have shown that thyroid diseases are common among women with breast cancer. We present a case of concomitant malignancy of breast and thyroid with review of literature on the association of breast with thyroid neoplasm. The potential association and plausible mechanisms of breast carcinoma development after or before the thyroid carcinoma should be evaluated in larger cohorts of patients.
