Toxicoligical study of Ocimum basilicum and Jasminum grandiflorum essential oils against Rhyzopertha dominica and Tribolium castaneum.
The study was carried out to evaluate the fumigant and repellent effect of Ocimum basilicum and Jasminum grandiflorum essential oils against Rhyzopertha dominica and Tribolium castaneum. Both tested essential oils had fumigant and repellent effect. For T. castaneum the highest concentration 0.24 mg/cm2 basil absolute had the lowest repellency with 65% while by basil oil was 82.5%, repellency. Jasmine absolute achieved the highest repellency at concentration of 0.12 mg/cm2 with 95% repellency. R. domenica was considerably more susceptible than T. castaneum in fumigant experiment. For R. dominica after 3 h basil oil had the strongest fumigant effect, with LC50 value 0.11 mg/cm3 while after 6 h basil oil had the strongest fumigant effect with LC50 value 0.07 mg/cm3. Based on LT50 Jasmine absolute seemed to be the most toxic material compared with the other materials used at the concentration of 0.4 mg/cm3, While against R. dominica calculated at four different concentration using fumigation method at the highest concentration (2.0 g/cm3) basil absolute had the strongest effect with LT50 of 2.15 h. The study also studied the chemical composition of tested essential oils and decleared that, acetic acid had the highest concentration with 15.951% for jasmine absolute and linalool is the main component in basil absolute with 46.345%, while Linalool was the main component in basil oil with 54.8%.
INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF TREES ON URBAN AIR QUALITY THROUGH AIR POLLUTION TOLERANCE ASSESSMENT IN DIFFERENT URBAN LOCATIONS OF COIMBATORE, TAMIL NADU, INDIA
Urban greenery with the help of trees is the best and only method for lowering air pollution because the leaves of the trees absorb particulate matter, gases (such as sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides), and metals. The ascorbic acid concentration, total chlorophyll content, leaf extract pH, and relative water content of 10 commonly found urban trees were assessed in the current study to determine their Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) values. The study was taken up in three different urban localities, viz., control zone, heavy traffic zone and industrial zone in Coimbatore urban area of Western Tamil Nadu, India during the year 2021 – 22 under three different seasons namely summer, winter and rainy seasons. It was revealed that Thespesia populnea, Polyalthia longifolia and Delonix regia were outstanding tree species with high APTI value, which will perform best in urban air pollution condition. The remaining 7 tree species were categorized into good tolerant and moderate tolerant tree species, which can be used as 2nd and 3rd tier tree retardant rather than separate plantation programme in urban cities. This highly tolerant tree species in urban localities will not only helps in reducing the air pollution level, but also acts as a barrier as environmental protector.
Evaluation of castor genotype in terms of biochemical attributes and its influence on economic parameters of eco races of eri silkworm, Philosamia ricini (Donovan) in Tamil Nadu
Ericulture is mainly confined to North-Eastern region of India. In the present investigation, eco races of eri silkworm viz., Borduar, Barpathar, Khanapara, Mendipathar, Titabar and locally available commercial C2 breed were reared on four castor genotypes such as GCH 4, GCH 7, DCH 519, TMV 5 in comparison with local castor variety to evaluate the biochemical attributes of different castor genotypes and its influence on economic parameters of eco races of eri silkworm when reared on different castor genotypes. The study was carried out during the year 2019-2022 at department of Sericulture, TNAU, Coimbatore to identify suitable race for Tamil Nadu condition and the experimental design used for the study is FCRD (Factorial Completely Randomized Design) with four replications. The study revealed that, the castor genotype GCH 4 revealed higher level of biochemical constituents’ viz., crude protein (29.07 %), soluble protein (27.17 mg/g), total carbohydrate (39.21 %), crude fat (1.12 %) and ash content (4.73 %) followed by DCH 519 and least was recorded in TMV 5. Influence of castor genotypes on rearing of eco races of eri worms stated that leaves of GCH 4 recorded significantly maximum economic parameters followed by DCH 519 and local castor variety. Among the eco-races, Borduar registered best economic parameters followed by C2 breed in which both were on par with each other compared to other eco-races. The interaction between castor genotype x eri silkworm eco races, Borduar eco race of eri silkworm reared on the leaves of GCH 4 genotype found best for all parameters followed by GCH 4 x C2 breed and the lowest was recorded in TMV 5 x Barpathar.
Design for the socio-technical maintenance network « DFMSN »
The objective of the article is to propose a design for the Socio-Technical Maintenance Network “DFMSN” of the equipment of small agri-food units in West Africa, while considering significant indicators of this network in particular, the duration of the supply, the costs and life of spare parts of similar equipment, with good operational availability. We propose guidelines similar to design rules used as design aids. A local design team has been applied to demonstrate its applicability and validation. The result feedbacks are relevant however, other similar design experiments are needed to enrich the DFMSN.
Computational Analysis for Assessment of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Status and its Implications on Empowerment of Gujjar Tribe in Shiwalik Himalayas of Jammu & Kashmir, India
Pure and Safe water and sanitation facilities are the basic requirements for better hygiene and overall development of any society and community but still many communities are devoid of such basic needs. The overall situation is worst in developing countries in general and among the backward and tribal communities in particular. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to examine and investigate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) conditions for the empowerment of the Gujjar tribe that still practices transhumance. To explore WaSH conditions and enhance the empowerment of the tribe, WaSH Index (WI) and Empowerment in Wash Index (EWI) have been proposed in this research work by using a set of suitable indicators from four clusters of dwellings of this tribe. Unfortunately, none of the clusters was found to have an acceptable level of WaSH score. All the selected clusters were reported to have WaSH scores between 5.8 and 6.0. The study further revealed that only 18.5% of households were having better WaSH scores, whereas 34% of households were having poor WaSH scores. The poor WaSH score in alliance with the poor EWI score is largely attributed to (or controlled by) the quality of occupation, educational status, and household type. The present study revealed that 37% of the sampled households in the four clusters were found to be below the poverty line and involved only in primary occupations. The present study will have a broader implication for policymakers and tribal activists in meeting the goals to achieve an acceptable level of WaSH score among the tribe.
