Dimethoate Induced Behavioural Changes in Juveniles of Cyprinus carpio var. communis under Temperate Conditions of Kashmir, India

The present study was designed to investigate acute toxicity of dimethoate on juvenile Cyprinus carpio var. communis. Fishes weighing 10 ± 2 gms were selected and mortality data was statistically evaluated by Finney's Probit Method. The 96-hour LC50 value for Cyprinus carpio was found as 1.1 ppm in static bioassay system. Mean values of physicochemical parameters of aquarium waters determined d...

Behaviour of hexaconazole ( Contaf 5 % EC ) residues on two cultivars of apple grown under temperate conditions of Kashmir , India

-1 The residues of hexaconazole dissipated below quantification level of 0.008 μg g and waiting periods of 8.13 and 7.45 days are suggested for Golden Delicious and Starkrimson cultivars at recommended dose in Kashmir. Theoret ical m a x i m u m r e s i d u e contribution TMRC (the theoret ical maximum amount of a pesticide in the daily diet of an average person) values were found to be 17.57 a...

Grazing Response of Topsoil Characteristics in Temperate Rangelands of Kashmir, Himalaya

The superficial strata of ground have been perennially exposed to the action of natural agents such as heat, cold and water. However, grazing agent was not different from them when soils were investigated from temperate rangelands of Kashmir and caused the soil compaction, soil structure degradation and loss of soil organic C and C/N ratio. Soils from three grazing intensities were investigated...

Agrometeorological Aspects of Crop Production in Temperate Kashmir

Cerebrovascular disease in rural Kashmir, India.

We studied the Kuthar Valley in the Anantnag District of south Kashmir (northwestern India) during the year 1986 to ascertain the prevalence and pattern of completed stroke. We detected 91 cases, giving a crude prevalence rate of 143/100,000. However, age-specific prevalence was 41/100,000 in the group aged 15-39 years and 630/100,000 in the group aged greater than or equal to 40 years; 69.23% ...
