Objective- To study the comparative prevalence of haemoprotozoan disease (Theileriosis, Babesiosis and Trypanosomiasis) in cattle in Udaipur district of Rajasthan.
Materials and Methods- A total of 195 cattle was screened in this study during April 2022 to November 2022 out of which 50 animals were diagnosed with haemoprotozoan infection. The most common haemoprotozoan infections diagnosed in the study area were theileriosis, babesiosis and trypanosomiasis. All these diseases were diagnosed on the bases of history of affected cattle, clinical signs and blood smear examination. Prevalence was recorded on the basis of age, sex, breed and season. Results- Cattle are most affected bovine animal by haemoprotozoan infection and the highest prevalence of theileriosis and babesiosis was found in the group above the age of 3 years i.e., .20 % and 7.77%, respectively and in case of trypanosomiasis it was group between 6 months to 2 years. Sex wise prevalence was higher in females affected by theileriosis and babesiosis than in male. In research area descript cattle (56.41%) have more haemo-protozoan infection than non-descript (43.58%) cattle. Higher prevalence was observed during the rainy season in theileriosis (16.84%) and trypanosomiasis (5.26%) and in case of Babesiosis it was summer season (12.72%)

French Bean (Phaseolus vulgare L.), one of the most important pulse crops in the world, yields very little because of biotic or abiotic stressors. Field surveys were conducted to find out the influence of weather factors and their association with aphids population and Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV) incidence in Rajmash during rabi seasons of 2018-2022 in High Altitude and Tribal Zone in Andhra Pradesh. Maximum temperature, mean relative humidity and rainfall play an important role in aphids population built-up and significantly related to its peak population. The correlation coefficients were found to be 0.78 for maximum temperature, -0.80 for mean relative humidity and -0.53 for rainfall. The preceding week weather conditions and aphids population as well as highest disease incidence week’s rainfall act as determinant for BCMV outbreak. A regression model was developed utilizing these three variables and it was found that the model explained 65 per cent variability of the BCMV outbreak. BCMV outbreak may be estimated through minimum temperature and aphids population of the 32-44?? SMW and rainfall of 32-44?? SMW. The present analysis enables scientists to devise a system to monitor and develop management strategies for the control of BCMV disease and aphids vector

This paper examines the efficiency of tenant farmers and influence of tenancy on efficiency in Andhra Pradesh. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was employed to carry out efficiency scores followed by regression analysis was taken up to find out influence of tenancy along with the other factors on efficiency. Results observed that, technical efficiency was noticed with highest mean values and efficiency ranges. However, majority of the farmers were using minimum quantity of inputs to produce the output. Allocative efficiency and economic efficiency were observed with lower mean and efficiency ranges. It is evident that majority of the farmers had not properly allocated their inputs and finally realised more cost of production. Availability of inputs were sufficient but input allocation was varied. Moreover, results from the econometric model revealed that both tenant and owner cum tenant ownership were influencing negatively to the economic efficiency of rice in Andhra Pradesh. Accordingly, these results suggested that proper allocation of inputs with sufficient output and lower rental values will be reduced the cost of production and changed the efficiency

Sisal is one of the important fibre crops in the marginal soils of Odisha. The Sambalpur and Jharsuguda districts are known for sisal cultivation. The information on sisal soils of Odisha and of the two districts (Sambalpur and Jharsuguda) were not available. In this study, we have characterized the sisal growing soils for their physico-chemical, chemical and biological properties. The sisal growing soils are acidic in nature, with low organic carbon and available nitrogen content and available P & K status was medium. The micronutrients in sisal growing areas were sufficient. The biological properties indicated that the microbial activity is very low because of very low organic carbon status. Use of organic manure like FYM, sisal compost, green manure and use of lime can improve the soil condition and improve the fertility status of the sisal growing soils of Odisha. Further, addition of P either as SSP or rock phosphate (RP) or in a combination of SSP + RP (1:1) will increase the available P status in acid soils of Odisha. In addition to this, growing pulse crop in between the sisal rows during kharif season may improve the organic matter, available N status of soil and will also help to earn additional income from sisal + pulse intercropping

The World Health Organization considers the major causes of hospital problems to be a lack of manpower or the inefficiency of the skilled labor force. Therefore, recovering human capital is particularly important to improve health and health standards, especially in the post-COVID era. Accordingly, the present study attempts to develop a suitable model for recovering human capital to improve health standards during the post-COVID period in rural areas. The study aimed to draw attention among rural people to COVID and its unexpected crisis in order to improve the health standards of post-COVID conditions in rural areas of India and Iran. The study follows the qualitative method and content analysis (open, axial, and selective coding). The data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with experts and healthcare managers. Research validity was approved through extensive review by experts; also, the reliability evaluation of the study was assessed by reaching an agreement between Inter-Coder Reliability and using Test-retest Reliability. The results of the study indicate that the human capital needed to improve the health and health standards of post-covid villages should be managed through human capital management, individual development, and organizational development. The consequences of applying this approach to health organizations include synergistic, agility, cutting costs, and improving performance, service quality, and sustainable development. Based on the results of the conceptual model research elevating the human capital in rural areas could be an effective solution to the prevention of coronary disease

The present study was conducted amongst the farmers’ self-help group in the state of Uttarakhand. As the study was in-depth and elaborative so it was decided to select total 120 respondents, 10 each from 12 self-help groups, located in 12 villages. The study aimed to compare and analyze the group decision making amongst the 12 self-help groups and identify the contributing factors for the variation in the group decision making of the selected groups. It was concluded that there was significant variation in group decision making among the selected SHGs determined by one-way ANOVA (F (11, 108) =11.15, p= 0.001). It was also inferred that among the ten indicators of group decision making, the selected SHGs varied in terms of only three indicators i.e., extent of participation in group decisions, group communication and group cohesiveness. Thus, the research suggests that the three significant factors i.e., extent of participation in group decision, group communication and group cohesiveness need to be critically emphasized for making the group decision making of the self-help groups more efficient and effective

In Republic of Congo, the planting dynamics undertaken in the country, in connection the development of the green economy, mean that grafted plants of Citrus sp. are increasingly in demand, particularly those bearing several varieties on the same rootstock. The production of seedlings is commonly done by the chip budding technique. However, there are no data relating to citrus multistem grafting. The present study was undertaken to refine the parameters of production of plants, in particular, the height and the diameter of the rootstocks, the heights of the point of grafting. The effects of these parameters on the welding ability of the graft and the rootstock were evaluated using a completely randomized design, including ten (10) combinations with Citrus sinensis Obsk, Citrus reticulata Blanco, Citrus limon meyer L. and Citrus trifoliata L. carried by 460 bitter Citrus aurantium L. rootstocks, divided into 2 blocks. The measurements concerned the height and the diameter of the rootstocks, heights of the first and second point of grafting. The heights of the grafting points were subsequently divided into five classes and that of the rootstocks into four classes. The results obtained indicate a post-grafting mortality rate of 1.25%, the rootstocks reach, at the age of grafting, an average height of 35.93±3.67 cm and an average diameter of 5.48±0.17 mm. The best classes of heights of grafting points are between [5 and 7[ cm for the first grafting point and [6 and 11[ cm for the second grafting point. The highest welding rates in comparison with the other classes are 46.23±0.13% and 53.98±0.49% for multistem grafting and 41.02±0.13% for simple grafting. The analysis of variance at the 5% probability level showed very significant and significant effects on the welding rates (P<0.001) for the two types of grafting, respectively
