AB STRACT : Mulching is the process or practice of covering the soil/ground to make more favourableconditions of root zone for plant growth, development and efficient crop production. The various types of plastic mulches are available in market and its selection depends upon the very purpose of mulch. The plastic mulchaffects below the soil microclimate, above the soil microclimate, weeds growth, soil moisture, insect behaviouretc. The soil temperature plays a very important role in crop productivity and the plastic mulch can be used toenhance or decrease the soil temperature as per requirements. Research continues on field evaluation of newformulations of degradable, wavelength-selective, and coloured plastic mulches.

AB STRACT : The rainfall is an important parameter for the well being of around 1.2 billion people of India.However, certain extreme rainfall events occurring in different seasons cause disastrous situation over someparts. The average rainfall during decades 1980-90, 1991-2000 and 2001-11 were 1034.68, 772.1 and1101.27 mm, respectively. The annual rainfall of Junagadh region shows increasing tendency reported higherrainfall in last decade 2001-2011. Similarly, past years BSS analysis significantly increasing trend and relativehumidity at increasing trend, which may in confirmation to increase in rainfall for this station. The maximumtemperature showed slightly increasing tendency, while minimum temperature revealed in significant increase. The average decadal minimum temperature for Junagadh region during decades 1980-1990, 91-2000 and2001-11 were 19.65, 20.26 and 21.08 °C, respectively. The average pan evaporation, trend analysis showsdecreasing trend and wind velocity, trend analysis shows significantly increasing trend. It is conjectured thatthese events may be associated with the global and the regional warming under the climate change scenario.In the event of their continuation, there would be severe impact on societal and environmental issueswarranting appropriate precautionary measures in near future to safeguard the interest of the vast populationof this region. The likely cause for increase in minimum temperature is global warming

recent decade, in-situ bioremediation has been proved to be cost effective and eco friendly technology forremediation of groundwater. Organic contaminant e.g. gasoline compound, is remediated most effectivelyusing this technique. In-situ bioremediation technique encourages growth and reproduction of indigenousmicroorganism, which enhances biodegradation of organic constituents in the subsurface. To inject oxygenand other nutrient at the contaminated plume, injection and extraction wells are used. In-situ bioremediationconsist of a set of injection and extraction wells and it’s very important to decide optimal number of these wellsto minimize the overall cost. Thus, simulation-optimization approach is important to decide variablesconcerned with in-situ bioremediation system. Simulation and optimization is a technique which increases thesystem efficiency. This paper will review various optimization techniques used for in-situ bioremediation and

present a brief study on single and multi-objective optimization used for in-situ bioremediation system.

ABSTRACT : In horticulture, water has always been important constraint and in many cases, a rare resource.Certainly, the precise knowledge of the physiological basics of all aspects of water use relations is essential forbetter understanding of horticultural crops. The following variables viz., photosynthetic rate, stomatalconductance, photosynthetic active radiation, relative humidity percentage of leaves, internal CO2

concentration, transpiration rate and leaf temperature were evaluated. In this experiment, studies were aimedto evaluate the physiological characteristics of custard apple cv. Raydurg in response to fluctuations inparameters month wise during August to December, 2015. Photosynthetic rates (Pn) ranged from 2.98 to 9.3mmol m s2 1− − ; Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR) ranged from 859 to 2087; stomatal conductance (Gs)varied between 3.0 to 17.0 m smol2 1− − ; relative humidity percentage between 5.60 to 12.57 over an activegrowth season from August to December, 2015.

AB STRACT : An ef fort was made to study the ef fect of in te grated nu tri ent man age ment on the growth andflow er ing pa ram e ters of mari gold (Tagetes erecta L.) cv. Pusa Narangi Gainda at the Hor ti cul tural Re searchFarm, De part ment of Hor ti cul ture, Chaudhary Charan Singh Uni ver sity Cam pus, Meerut (U.P.). Theex per i ment was laid out in ran dom ized block de sign with ten treat ments rep li cated thrice. The treat mentscom prised of NPK, vermicompost and Azotobacter in dif fer ent com bi na tions and con trol (no fer til iz ers). Themax i mum plant height (67.14 cm), no. of pri mary branches/plant (16.54), flower di am e ter (6.27 cm), freshweight/flower (8.70 g) and flower yield (212.52 q/ha) were re corded un der the com bined ap pli ca tion of 100%NPK + Azotobacter. While, max i mum num ber of sec ond ary branch/plant (44.28), spread of plant (45.41 cm),stem di am e ter (1.66 cm) and num ber of flower/plant (63.15) were re corded un der the 100% Vermicompost +Azotobacter (5.0 kg/ha) treatment.

AB STRACT : Stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is an im por tant dis ease of Rajmash (Phaseolusvulgaris L.) in East ern U.P. Stem rot could be man aged by the in te gra tion of var i ous cul tural prac tices like,dif fer ent date of sow ing and uses of dif fer ent type of soil amend ments. Among six dif fer ent sow ing dates viz., Ist and III rd week Oc to ber, I st and III rd week of No vem ber and I st and III rd week of De cem ber, the low est av er age of dis ease in ci dence (11.30%) and higher crop yield (27.60 q/ha) was ob tained in I st week of Oc to ber sow ingdur ing 2014-15. The max i mum av er age dis ease in ci dence (29.60%) was ob served in IIIrd week of De cem bersow ing in the year 2015-16. Seven dif fer ent types of soil amend ments viz. py rite and Gyp sum (@ 2.0 t/haeach) and Neem cake, Paddy straw, Ground nut cake, Caster cake and Mus tard cake (@ 20.0 t/ha each) wereused as soil ap pli ca tion. All the amend ments were sig nif i cantly ef fec tive in re duc ing the dis ease over thecon trol. The min i mum dis ease in ci dence (8.30%) and max i mum its yield (29.60 q/h) in I year and 9.50%dis ease in ci dence and yield of 28.30q/ha in II year was re corded by the ap pli ca tion of py rite. Gyp sum was least ef fec tive soil amend ment which showed max i mum (25.00%) dis ease in ci dence in I year and II year withmin i mum yield (17.0 q/ha & 16.80 q/ha) in I and II year.

AB STRACT : In pot cul ture stud ies, met a bolic ac tiv i ties were cor re lated with the ef fect of ex og e nousap pli ca tion of cytokinin at cer tain level (0.0, 1.0, 4.0, and 10.0 ppm) of cytokinin in mint (Mentha piperita L.)un der vari able sea sons. In sum mer sea son, the higher level of cytokinin i.e. 4.0ppm re sulted in vig or ousveg e ta tive growth. All the pa ram e ters stud ied were also af fected in win ter sea son also, but val ues were too low than those in sum mer sea son. It showed a pos i tive cor re la tion with the growth at trib utes and men thol oilcon tents in trichome glands of mint un der the in flu ence of vari able sea sons. Thus, both cytokinin and long daytreat ment pro vides a great sig nif i cance in con trol ling the growth and yielding capacity of mint plant.
