The present investigation entitled “Effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer on growth, yield & quality cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L.) Under protected cultivation” was carried out in the Polyhouse Jacob Institute Biotechnology Bioengineering, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, during winter season from September to December 2021.The expe...

Healing and acclimatization are critical in vegetable grafting under controlled environments. Here, we investigated the impacts of LED light qualities on morphological traits photosynthetic performance grafted tomato seedlings. Seeds tomatoes “DRW 7806 F1” “Maxifort” (Solanum lycopersicum × Solanum habrochaites) used as scion rootstock were planted 104-cell plug trays into a mixture cocopeat pe...

Accumulation of heavy metals from agricultural soils contaminated by low levels heavy metals has important implications in the understanding of heavy metal contamination in the food chain. Through field experiments (1994-1996), the influence of thermal regime under different treatments on the accumulation of zinc, cadmium, copper, and lead in Chinese cabbage [Brassica pekinensis (Lour) Rupr. cv...

Competing interests in land for agriculture and commodity production in tropical human-dominated landscapes make forests and biodiversity conservation particularly challenging. Establishment of protected areas in this regard is not functioning as expected due to exclusive ecological focus and poor recognition of local people’s traditional forest use and dependence. In recent years, multifunctio...

Landscape change in and around protected areas is of concern worldwide given the potential impacts of such change on biodiversity. Given such impacts, we sought to understand the extent of changes in different land-cover types at two protected areas, Tarangire and Katavi National Parks in Tanzania, over the past 27 years. Using Maximum Likelihood classification procedures we derived eight land-...

Observations of the Sun with the LOWL instrument provide a homogeneous set of solar p-mode frequencies from low to intermediate degree which allows one to determine the structure of much of the solar interior avoiding systematic errors that are introduced when diierent data sets are combined, i.e., principally the eeects of solar cycle changes on the frequencies. Unfortunately, the LOWL data se...

The eeect on p-mode frequencies of changing the near-surface structure of solar models is investigated. As is well known, changes connned to the near-surface region have little eeect on the low-frequency p modes: this is as one would expect from a simple asymp-totic description which shows that these modes have upper turning points located well beneath the photosphere. However, some examples of...
