The study demonstrate the effects of split application of fertilizers on soil nutrient transport (i.e. Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) at different slopes under simulated rainfall conditions and subsequent impact of nutrient transport on runoff water quality parameters were also assessed. The study was conducted on experimental plots under laboratory conditions by using a rainfall simulator to produce the desired range of rainfall intensities of 9.00 cm/h, 13.20 cm/h and 17.00 cm/h at two selected land slopes of 2.00% and 4.00%.The soil nutrients transport due to surface runoff were found higher on one-step application of fertilizer, followed by two step applications and three step application of fertilizer respectively under 9.00 cm/h, 13.20 cm/h and 17.00 cm/h rainfall intensities for selected land slopes. The rainfall intensity was found to have a principal factor affecting nutrient transport as compared to steepness of land for all selected split application of fertilizer. The observed values of electrical conductivity (EC) and pH of runoff water indicated a negative correlation with increase in steps of fertilizer applications. The scenario of three-step split application of fertilizers was found the most efficient method for Nutrient loss management.

The characteristic proximate analysis of the paddy straw, sugarcane bagasse, sorghum bagasse and pearl millet straw was carried out in this paper. The properties of biomass like moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, bulk density, lignin, hemicelluloses, cellulose, sugars, and fixed carbon were determined as per standard ASTM methods. Cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin are the three primary components in biomass. For the analysis of cellulose, hemicelluloses lignin and sugars extractives were prepared with finely powdered biomass sample with particle size of 600µm and below with moisture below 10%. The other properties were analyzed using dried and powered biomass samples. The biomass characterization is a mandate for the selection of the most viable biomass for bioconversion processes and biofuels. The calorific value and energy densities of biomass were found in which sugarcane bagasse had maximum calorific value of 18.3MJ/kg

Lignin presence in the fermentation substrate make it hard to breakdown by microbial activity since it is made of complex polymers, like phenolic propane units which are linked to one another by ether/carbon-carbon bonds. Dilute acid hydrolysis of paddy straw biomass was carried out for the depolymerization of hemicelluloses into xylose and other forms of sugars; this pretreatment was aimed in the intention of removal of lignin, improving the formation of fermentable sugars, degradation of carbohydrates. The acid employed in the dilute acid hydrolysis was orthophosphoric acid (H3PO4). The acid hydrolysis of paddy straw was employed in breaking down the hemicelluloses into pentose and hexose sugars for its utilization by microbial culture for more easier and simple bioconversion of sugars to solvents. The maximum sugars released were observed for 5% orthophosphoric acid concentration, the concentration of sugars in the acidified hydrolysate was 35mg/g.

An experiment entitled “Sulphur status of soil series of Western Maharashtra region†was conducted during the year 2011-2012. For the present investigation total 208 soil samples were collected from 208 soil series of Western Maharashtra on the basis of technical bulletin of Soil series of Maharashtra published by National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning. All the 208 soil samples were analyzed for physical properties viz., bulk density, hydraulic conductivity and chemical properties viz., pH, EC, organic carbon, calcium carbonate. These soil samples were also analyzed for available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and different forms of sulphur viz., total sulphur, organic sulphur, water soluble (1% NaCl extractable) sulphur, sulphate sulphur (0.15% CaCl2 extractable) and non-sulphate sulphur by using standard method. The average different forms of sulphur in the different soil series of Western Maharashtra were in the order of total sulphur (481 mg kg-1)> non sulphate sulphur (292 mg kg-1)> organic sulphur (218 mg kg-1)> water soluble sulphur (20.27 mg kg-1)> available sulphur (18.43 mg kg-1). All the soil samples collected from different soil series of Western Maharashtra were 22 per cent deficient and 78 per cent sufficient in available sulphur. The highest available sulphur deficiency (31 per cent) was noticed in Kolhapur district of Sangmeswar, Rajapur, Ratnagiri, Nandgaon, Amboli, Chandgad, Malegaon and Wadkudi soil series. In Western Maharashtra number of soil series categorized in available sulphur was high (88) followed by medium (74) and low (46).

The influence of stem cell factor on in-vitro culture of preantral follicles (PFs) isolated from goat ovaries was investigated. Preantral follicles were isolated from the cortex of goat ovaries and individually cultured for 10 days in different concentrations (25 ng/ml, 50 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml) of stem cell factor (SCF).The proportion of PFs exhibiting growth, increase in diameter and antrum formation was assessed to determine the in vitro development. The oocytes isolated from cultured PFs were kept in-vitro maturation medium for 27 h, to assess the nuclear maturation to the metaphase II (M II) stage. The proportion of PFs exhibiting growth, average increase in diameter, antrum formation, extrusion of oocytes and meiotic resumption of oocytes were highest when the culture medium was supplemented with 50 ng/ml of SCF individually. Based on the best concentration from the above results, the preantral follicles were cultured with thyroxin (T4), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), stem cell factor (SCF) and leptin in various combinations. It is concluded that in vitro culture of goat PFs in combination of stem cell factor and leptin i.e SCF + leptin (31.25 ± 1.15) did not improve the frequency of oocyte maturation to metaphase II stage when compared with SCF alone.

The main aim of this study is to investigate the impact of bitter gourd on long term pre-diabetic induced retinal abnormalities caused by neonatal streptozotocin (nSTZ). Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rat pups (n=35) of two-day old were taken and injected with STZ (90 mg/kg body weight) dissolved in 0.1M citrate buffer, pH 4.5. Control pups (n=10) received only vehicle. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was conducted at 2nd and 10th month. All rats were maintained on AIN-93G/M diet in individual cages and a sub set of pre-diabetic animals received 5% bitter gourd in the diet. Functional abnormalities of retina were studied by electroretinogram (ERG) and other biochemical alterations by histology, immunoblotting and gene expression. Majority of nSTZ rats exhibited impaired glucose tolerance (2h glucose>140mg/dl) or pre-diabetes by 2 months and maintained up to 11th month. ERG data showed a decrease in amplitude of scotopic b-wave and also scotopic oscillatory potentials in pre-diabetic rats indicating development of retinal functional abnormalities. Increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and decreased expression of rhodopsin (Rho) in pre-diabetic animals indicate development of angiogenesis and retinal degeneration respectively. Further there was an increase in 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) in retina indicating association of oxidative stress with pre-diabetes. Feeding of bitter gourd to these pre-diabetic rats partially prevented these changes. Pre-diabetes induced retinal abnormalities were prevented by bitter gourd through its hypoglycemic and antioxidant potential. This study will give an additional insight into molecular action of bitter gourd in preventing the pre-diabetic abnormalities thereby leading to the development of therapeutic strategies in controlling diabetes.
