    The global scarcity of irrigation water poses a significant challenge to the sustainable production of rice and its availability worldwide. With a growing population driving increased demand for rice, it is crucial to enhance rice production while minimizing water usage. Achieving this requires a comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions between water and nitrogen dynamics and the formulation of strategies to optimize the application of irrigation water and nitrogen fertilizers. This study aims to investigate the impact of varying irrigation regimes and nitrogen application rates on rice growth attributes, yield performance, overall crop productivity, and economic returns. In the 2021 and 2022 rice growing season, two field experiments were carried out in split plot design with four nitrogen levels in sub plots [N0: Control, N1: 75% RDN (Recommended dose of nitrogen; @ 120 kg N ha−1), N2: 100% RDN, and N3: 125% RDN] and four irrigation treatments in main plots [I1: recommended irrigation scheduling, I2: at field capacity (20 L m−2), I3: 10% depletion from field capacity (20 L m−2), and I4: 20% depletion from field capacity (20 L m−2). The experiments were replicated three times. The suggested irrigation scheduling treatment (flooded) showed improved growth characteristics, such as plant height, dry matter accumulation, leaf area index, tiller count, SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development) value, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) value, leaf relative water content, and yield attributes; however, these were comparable to the application of irrigation water at field capacity. Due to improved plant growth and yield-attributing characteristics, the I1 treatment recorded the highest grain yield of 8.58 t ha−1 and 8.4 t ha−1, although it was comparable to the I2 treatment, which had grain yields of 8.27 t ha−1 and 8.15 t ha−1 in 2021 and 2022. The grain yield reported by the N3 treatment were significantly greater than those of the N2 treatment, IN 2021 and 2022 respectively. Applying nitrogen at 125% RDN (Recommended dose of nitrogen) and irrigation water at field capacity produced the highest benefit–cost ratio (1.64), which was closely followed by the same irrigation regime and 100% RDN application (1.60 BC ratio). Comparable to irrigation at field capacity, the suggested irrigation schedule demonstrated enhanced growth features, yield attributes, productivity, and profitability. The best way to achieve the optimum growth, productivity, and profitability in transplanted rice was to provide irrigation water at field capacity and nitrogen @ 100% RDN.

    The appraisal of spatial variability of soil properties is crucial for gaining a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationships between soil properties and for establishing effective management practices for soil resource utilization. Despite extensive research on regional soil variability, farm-scale assessments in temperate mountainous agro-ecosystems remain scarce, limiting precision soil management strategies. This study aimed to evaluate spatial variability and generate spatial distribution maps. The study area at 75.0916°E and 33.7237°N was the Research Farm of Mountain Research Centre for Field Crops (MRCFC) - Khudwani, characterized by temperate climate conditions. Soil samples were randomly collected from eighty-nine (89) sites across the whole research farm at a depth of 0-15 cm using a global positioning system (GPS). Then, the samples were processed and tested for various physical and chemical properties. Descriptive analysis and data transformation were performed using the SPSS package. The Shapiro-Wilk test assessed the normality of parameters. ArcGIS 10.8 software was used to conduct geostatistical analysis. The physical properties revealed a predominant silty clay loam texture. The soil bulk density, particle density, and porosity distribution were 2.05 to 2.76 g cm⁻³, 38.32-56.93%, and 1.12 to 1.38 g cm⁻³, respectively. The chemical properties analysis revealed soil pH (5.30-8), EC (0.01-0.18 dS m - 1), and SOC (0.52-1.21%) and concentrations of soil available nutrients (AN 187.80-455.83 kg ha - 1, AP 12.04-33.07 kg ha - 1, AK 77.57-195.87 kg ha - 1, AS 8.30-15.90 mg kg - 1, Ex. Ca 7.10-12.40 cmol(+)kg⁻¹, Ex. Mg 1.80-3.90 cmol(+)kg⁻¹, AMn 3.31-27.2 mg kg - 1, AFe 4.64-19.8 mg kg - 1, ACu 0.69-1.88 mg kg - 1 and AZn 0.27-1.64 mg kg - 1). CV values indicated very high variation for EC, K, Cu; high variation for OC, P, Fe, Mn, and Zn; medium for pH, N, S, Ex. Ca and Ex. Mg, while physical parameters indicated low variability in the examined soil. Geostatistical analysis revealed strong (bulk density, porosity, pH, EC, OC, P, K, Ex. Ca, Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn), moderate (particle density, N and S), and weak (Ex. Mg) spatial dependence for soil parameters with the best-fit models being Spherical for EC, OC, N, P, S, Ex. Ca, Ex. Mg, Cu, and Zn, Gaussian for bulk density, particle density, porosity, pH, K, and Mn, while Exponential for Fe. These findings indicate that historical land-use patterns and long-term fertilization practices have led to significant spatial heterogeneity, underscoring the need for location-specific nutrient management. The generated spatial distribution maps offer practical tools for optimizing experimental site selection and guiding precision agriculture strategies at the research station. The significant variability in soil properties and spatial distribution primarily arises from factors such as land use type, fertilization practices, and historical management. The spatial distribution maps of soil properties could be used for location-specific nutrient management strategies and for identifying the optimum locations for setting up specialized experiments on the research farm.

    Rice brown spot is an important disease of rice worldwide that inflicts substantial yield losses. The antimicrobial potential of methanol, acetone and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) extracts of different medicinal plants, viz., Syzygium aromaticum, Saussurea costus, Acorus calamus, Bergenia ciliate, Geranium pratense, Mentha longifolia, Inula racemosa, Podophyllum hexandrum, Heracleum candicans and Picrorhiza kurroa, against the brown spot pathogen Bipolaris oryzae in vitro was evaluated via mycelial growth inhibition and spore germination inhibition assays. Among the plant extracts tested, 100% mycelial inhibition was observed for the methanol extract of Syzygium aromaticum at all three concentrations (2000 ppm, 3000 ppm and 4000 ppm), followed by the methanol extract of Inula racemosa (90.33%) at 4000 ppm. A maximum conidial germination inhibition of 83.54% was exhibited by the Heracleum candicans leaf extract. Phytochemical profiling of Syzygium aromaticum and Inula racemosa through liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (HR-LCMS) revealed the presence of several compounds, such as eugenol, ursolic acid, quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and noscapine. A molecular docking approach was used to identify key inhibitory molecules against B. oryzae. Among the compounds detected in S. aromaticum and Inula racemosa, ursolic acid and noscapine were found to have the greatest binding affinity for the Big Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (BMK-1) enzyme present in B. oryzae. In conclusion, S. aromaticum and Inula racemosa are potent compounds that could serve as lead compounds for drug discovery in the future.

    Biomedical Chromatography, 2024
    This study aimed to investigate the dissipation pattern, risk assessment, and waiting period of myclobutanil on apple fruit (Malus domestica Borkh.) under temperate conditions in Kashmir, India. The study involved the application of myclobutanil 10 WP at a single recommended dosage (125 g a.i. ha−1) and double dosage (250 g a.i. ha−1) on Red Velox apple trees, 2 months before harvest. GC equipped with an electron capture detector was used to analyze myclobutanil residues in fruit samples. The study revealed that myclobutanil, at both recommended and double recommended doses, dissipated rapidly and became nondetectable after 55 and 60 days, respectively. The waiting period for myclobutanil application was determined to be 12.41 days for the single dose and 25.58 days for the double dose, respectively. These waiting periods were based on the maximum residue limit of 0.6 ppm as prescribed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, and European Commission. The study concludes that myclobutanil 10 WP is safe for consumers at both recommended and double recommended doses when applied 2 months before harvest. Risk assessment, considering the average daily apple consumption in India and theoretical maximum residue contributions (TMRCs), indicates negligible health hazards even at double the recommended dosage. The calculated TMRC values at Day 0 were significantly below the maximum permissible intake. For average and maximum myclobutanil residues at single and double doses, the TMRC values were found to be 0.0069 and 0.0070 mg day−1 person−1 and 0.0105 and 0.0106 mg day−1 person−1, respectively. These results indicate that myclobutanil, when used according to recommended dosages and waiting periods, poses minimal health risks to consumers. The study emphasizes the importance of prudent fungicide use to minimize fungicide residues on fruits, thereby ensuring their safety for consumption.

    Biomedical Chromatography, 2024
    Apple, a major fruit of temperate Himalayas, is sprayed with chemical pesticides around 12 times during the cropping season. Various systemic and contact fungicides are applied for the management of major diseases. In order to manage disease, flusilazole 40 EC is frequently used. However, excessive chemical application has been found to be detrimental for consumer safety. Keeping in view consumer safety, risk assessment, the half‐life and waiting period for flusilazole 40 EC were evaluated on the Red Velox variety of apple. The QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) method and high‐performance liquid chromatography were adapted for sample processing and analysis, respectively. The recovery percentages of flusilazole at three fortification levels (0.04, 0.09 and 0.50 mg kg−1) were 98.85, 99.83 and 98.98%, respectively. Flusilazole at the recommended dose (80 g a.i. ha−1) left an initial deposit of 0.733 mg kg−1, which dissipated by 93.45% in 60 days and was non‐detectable beyond this period. Meanwhile flusilazole at double the recommended dose (160 g a.i. ha−1) left an initial deposit of 0.913 mg kg−1, which dissipated by 93.43% in 70 days and was non‐detectable beyond this period. Based on the maximum residue limit of 0.3 mg kg−1 as prescribed by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, a waiting period of 28.74 and 46.03 days was recorded for single and double doses, respectively. Moreover, in order to assess the consumer risk, theoretical maximum residue contributions (TMRCs) were derived using flusilazole residues (average and maximum) recorded at various time intervals and compared with the maximum permissible intake, which was found to be 0.42 mg per person per day. Based on the average per capita daily consumption of 6.76 g apple in India, the TMRC values were computed. Although the values of TMRC decreased below maximum permissible intake at the first day after application, indicating minimal consumer health risks, fruits sprayed with a double dose of flusilazole carried the risk even up to the tenth day after flusilazole application. The results of the present study will be valuable for safe and timely use of flusilazole on apple.

    Fusarium wilt (FW) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri is a devastating disease of chickpea ( Cicer arietinum). To identify promising resistant genotypes and genomic loci for FW resistance, a core set of 179 genotypes of chickpea was tested for FW reactions at the seedling and reproductive stages under field conditions and controlled conditions in the greenhouse. Our results revealed that at the seedling stage, most of the genotypes were resistant, whereas at the reproductive stage, most of the genotypes were susceptible. Genotyping using a 50K Axiom® CicerSNP Array and trait data of FW together led to the identification of 26 significant ( P ≤ E-05) marker-trait associations (MTAs) for FW resistance. Among the 26 MTAs, 12 were identified using trait data recorded in the field (three at the seedling and nine at the reproductive stage), and 14 were identified using trait data recorded under controlled conditions in the greenhouse (six at the seedling and eight at the reproductive stage). The phenotypic variation explained by these MTAs varied from 11.75 to 15.86%, with an average of 13.77%. Five MTAs were classified as major, explaining more than 15% of the phenotypic variation for FW, and two were declared stable, being identified in two environments. One of the promising stable and major MTAs (Affx_123280060) detected in field conditions at the reproductive stage was also detected in greenhouse conditions at the seedling and reproductive stages. The stable and major (>15% PVE) MTAs can be used in chickpea breeding programs.

    Mushroom production in India has registered a considerable growth in the recent times. However, cultivation of shiitake mushroom, which represents a major share at a global level, is still at a primitive stage in the Indian subcontinent. The scarcity of raw materials and the cost of energy for substrate sterilization are the major hurdles for a large-scale production. The present study delves into the possibility of growing shiitake mushroom on lignocellulosic biomass (saw dust and wheat straw) processed with different heat treatments to develop a cost-effective production technology. Six different strains of shiitake mushroom, viz., DMRO-35, 51, 297, 388s, 410, 412, were used in this study. The substrates were exposed to a pasteurization temperature of 80 ± 5 °C in a bulk pasteurization chamber for three different times (H1–H3) and also to a high-pressure sterilization (H4) in an autoclave. DMRO-388s was found to be the most productive strain, irrespective of the substrate and heat treatment method used. Significant differences were observed in the biological yield depending on the type of substrate and heat treatment. Changes in the biochemical composition of the lignocellulosic residues in three different stages, viz., pre heat treatment, inoculation and primordial formation stages, were recorded. Changes in heat treatment levels and duration significantly altered the cellulose/lignin ratio of the growing substrate. High-pressure sterilization aided the rapid degradation of lignin in the substrate and increased its bioavailability, thereby facilitating the fungus achieving its potential yield. A significant correlation in the positive direction between the yield levels of the tested strains and the consumption of lignin in the growing substrate was found, suggesting the significance of pre heat treatment for the bioconversion of lignin and its subsequent utilization in the solid-state fermentation process. The substrate pre heat treatment under high-pressure sterilization was proved to be beneficial to obtain the maximum yields of shiitake mushroom.

    One of the most common dyeing problems of textile industries is uneven and faulty dyeing over the finished quality of fabrics due to different reasons. These problems are usually tackled through chemical degradation in which uneven and faulty dye is removed from the surface of fiber but fabric quality is compromised. Chemical process also reduces the strength of the fabric and durability of textile material by reduction in reactive dye ability. The fabric cannot be reused due to the reduced strength. To overcome above mentioned problem, biological method of stripping in which enzymes produced by different micro-organisms are used. This process has no harmful effect on the fabric and is safe for environment. In this research work reactive blue 21 dye with 0.5, 2 and 4% shade strengths was used to dye cotton fabric. The Ganoderma lucidum fungal strains were mutated by UV mutagen, and five were selected for further processing. These mutant strains were grown at temperature ranges (20 °C to 40 °C); pH(3–5); inoculum size(1–5 mL) and fermentation time (3–15 days) . The required nutrients media to produce the ligninolytic enzymes was added to the flask. The strain which gave the fast decolourization results was selected for further optimization. Optimization was done by observing the variables: incubation time 12 days, pH 4, temperature 30 °C, and inoculum size 3 mL by applying Response Surface Methodology (RSM) in Central Composite Design (CCD). During the process of fabric color stripping, the enzyme assay revealed that the respective mutant UV-60 strain produced active enzymes with their Vmax, Mnp (427U/mL), LiP (785U/mL), and Lac (75 U/mL) enzymes decolorized 89% of the dye which is 25% more than the parent strain and also the production of enzyme is Mnp (344U/mL), LiP (693U/mL), and Lac (59 U/mL) enzymes which is lower than mutant strain.
