Biomass evolution of microalgae scenedesmus sp. in a tubular photobioreactor under different nutrition regimes

Paper ID- AMA-10-02-2022-11121

The growth of the Scenedesmus spinosus microalgae was evaluated in four culture mediums: Z8, Watanabe, Bristol and BG-11, using a pilot airlift tubular photobioreactor. The reactor used had a culture volume of 1.4 m3 and consisted of 4 vertical tubes assembled to 4 horizontal tubes of transparent polycarbonate with PVC joints. Turbidity, total solids, solar irradiation and temperature were measured for a period of 21 days. Biomass growth was evaluated through the change in turbidity over time and gravimetry tests, for the four analyzed culture mediums. The medium that showed the highest biomass growth over time corresponded to the Z8 medium, while the one that showed the lowest growth was the Bristol medium. The highest biomass productivity corresponded to 81 g m-3d-1 for the Z8 culture medium, and the lower was 14 g m-3d-1 for Watanabe.

Evaluation of different substrate with supplements for cultivation of Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler

Paper ID- AMA-10-02-2022-11120

Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Peglar, the shiitake mushroom, is worldwide one of the most widely cultivated mushrooms. The cultivation of edible mushrooms is a biotechnological process that uses various residues to produce food of high nutritional value. Two strains of Lentinula edodes (DMR-356 and DMR-35) were cultivated on basal substrate wheat straw and poplar sawdust alone and in combination with supplements (Wheat bran, Rice bran and Maize Meal). Complete spawn run, bump formation, basideocarp formation days, total yield and biological efficiency were recorded. Minimum time taken for complete spawn run, bump formation and basideocarp formation was observed on wheat straw + wheat bran (20%) + CaCo3 (2%). Wheat straw + wheat bran (20%) + CaCo3 (2%) produced maximum total yield and biological efficiency in DMR-356 (567.0g/900g of dry substrate) with biological efficiency (63.0%) and DMR-35 (497.6g /900g of dry substrate) with biological efficiency (55.2%). Poplar sawdust substrates alone proved to be least effective for the cultivation of Lentinula edodes strains, with maximum days taken for complete spawn run, Bump formation and basideocarp formation day, while minimum total yield with DMR-356 (114.0g/ 900g of dry substrate) and corresponding lowest biological efficiency (12.6%) and with DMR-35 strain minimum total yield (57.0g/ 900g of dry substrate) and biological efficiency (6.0%) was recorded.

Nexus of Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction: Evidence from Ethiopia

Paper ID- AMA-10-02-2022-11119

The nexus between economic growth and poverty reduction in Ethiopia was explored in this study during the period 1995-2015. For this investigation, we used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and the error correction model (ECM). In the short-run, we found bidirectional causality between economic growth and poverty reduction. In the long run, however, the results reveal unidirectional causality. Towards this end, it has been determined that economic growth is mutually beneficial in both short and long run, resulting in poverty reduction in the country. In the short-run, policymakers should focus on measures that promote both economic growth and poverty reduction. Furthermore, in the long run, pro-growth measures should be prioritized, as this would ensure that all forms of poverty are reduced.

Estimation of the effect of drought on morpho-physiological attributes in different coriander genotypes (Coriandrum sativum L.)

Paper ID- AMA-10-02-2022-11117

Eight Coriander varieties viz. Rcr-20, Rcr-41, Rcr-435, Rcr-436, Rcr-446, Rcr-475, Rcr-684 and Rcr-728 were conducted at the research farm of S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan) during Rabi, 2016 in randomized block design with three replications on loamy sand soil under control condition plot were irrigated at regular interval while in drought condition plots were maintained under rainfed condition. Yield and yield contributing parameters were recorded at maturity stages and after harvesting. The Coriander varieties Rcr-20 and Rcr-446 behaved as drought tolerance varieties maintained higher seed yield along with number of umbels per plant, seeds per umbel, test weight, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index under drought conditions. The coriander varieties Rcr-435 and Rcr-728 maintained under higher seed yield along with number of umbels per plant, seeds per umbel, test weight, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index under control conditions.

Interactive Effect of potential biocontrol agents and organic amendments on lentil wilt pathogen incited by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis and its management

Paper ID- AMA-09-02-2022-11116

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), is widely grown pulse crop. Lentil crop might be attacked by several seed and soil borne diseases. In vitro bio-efficacy of different antagonists and organic amendments on mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis by using seven Trichoderma spp. (T. harzianum, T. viride, T. hamatum, T. asperellum, T. virens, T. koningii, T. atroviride) and seven OAs (vermicompost, FYM, mustard cake, goat cake, mungbean chickpea, cluster bean). In vivo estimation of microflora propagules density, growth, phenological, physiological (chlorophyll and carotenoid contents) biomass parameters and qualitative, yield contributing characters. Under in vitro, the highest mycelial growth inhibition (68.52%) was found with T. harzianum, and among OAs maximum mycelium inhibition was recorded with vermicompost (63.34%). In vivo study, T harzianum + vermicompost effectively reduces microflora propagules (23, 42, 45, 40×105cfu/g soil) at the different intervals (planting, 1, 2, 3, 3.5 months) than the other treatments. This combination enhances percent germination (96.67), phenological and biomass parameters like plant height (47.23 cm), pods/plant (60.42), seeds/plant and yield of seed/plant (4.45 g), fresh and dry weight of shoot & root (33.98, 2.89 and 6.97, 0.79 g) and reduces the disease incidence (14.88 %). Physiological pigments viz; chlorophyll (3.75 mg/ml) and carotenoids (0.71 mg/ml) also recorded maximum in T harzianum + vermicompost combination. The qualitative parameters like plant height (44.67 cm), root nodule (95.00), and yield contributing characters like pods/plant (59.00), seeds/plant (100.00), yield (430.00 kg/h) found maximum in this combination.
