Water Quality Index is an important water assessment that sustain and conserve the aquatic ecosystem. In Malaysia, the current classification practice on Department of Environmental Water Quality Index (DOE WQI) shoes rigid value in term of assessing the input of parameters that close to a class boundary. Hence, this study proposed a technique to assess the parameters in a holistic manner by using the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS).
Present study deals with the bioconversion of vermicomposted weed plants waste using Eudrilus eugeniae Kinberg for promoting the growth of Brinjal (Solanum melongena) preparation of weed plants waste vermicompost and its physico chemical parameters were analyzed, enumeration of microorganisms bacteria, fungi and actinomyces from vermicompost, preparation of vermiwash and vermicompost extract and its physico chemical parameters were analyzed, growth parameters and biochemical characteristics also studied of Brinjal.
This study analyses the employment status of agricultural laborers in Bathinda district of Punjab. It presents the major activities of agricultural laborers in farm and non-farm sector. The lack of employment opportunities in agriculture during off season compelled the agricultural laborers to seek alternative employment sources like construction work, National Rural Employed Guarantee Act (NREGA) etc. In spite of it, the harsh reality is that the condition of Agriculture Labors (especially non-regular) is miserable.
The present investigation is aimed at assessing the concentration of heavy metal ions along the stretches of Brahmani river basin.Nine samples were collected along the stretches of Brahmani basin during the period September-2013 to August-2014. The purpose of this study was to estimate nine heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Hg, Fe, As, Ni and Cr) in the surface water of the Brahmani river, one of the most important rivers in Odisha, India.
We estimated carbon stock of mangrove Kandelia obovata Sheue, Liu & Yong and Sonneratia caseolaris (L.) Engler planted in coastal zone of Red River Delta, Vietnam. A total of 84 10 x 10 m sample plots consisting of 39 K. obovata at 1-13 years old, 33 S. caseolaris at 2-7, 8-13 years old and mixed species of K. bovata and S. caseolaris at 10-13 years old were established. A tree census was carried out in the sample plots. Diameter at 30 cm above widening base of trunk of all trees were measured.
The present study was determine the effect of preferably used textile dye, methyl red on fingerlings of Oreochromis mossambicus as much report is unavailable on juvenile toxicity. Muscle tissue of fish were analysed for the effects of the azo dye methyl red, since it is a major target tissue for nutrient storage and is the main edible part of the fish. They affect the biologically active molecules like lipids. The fishes were maintained for a period of 40 days at two sublethal concentrations of the dye.
A large band of forest-savanna mosaic extends between the Sudanian (dry) and Guinean (humid) regions in West Africa and undergoes bush fires, agriculture and logging, in the central parts of Côte d'Ivoire, especially in the Lam to Reserve region. Former studies showed a remarkable degree of vegetation dynamics in this region with forests advancing against savanna. However, the floristic components of the mosaic and the relevant tree species involved in the regeneration dynamics were not identified.
