The present investigation entitled “Effect of seed treatments using Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and plant growth promoting bacteria under different growing conditions on germination and growth of papaya cultivar Red lady” was carried out using ten treatment viz T1: control, T2: GA3 @100 ppm, T3: GA3 @ 150 ppm, T4: GA3 @ 200 ppm , T5: GA3 @100 ppm + Azotobacter, T6: GA3 @ 150 ppm + Azotobacter, T7: GA3 @ 200 ppm + Azotobacter , T8:GA3 @100 ppm + Azospirillium, T9: GA3 @ 150 ppm + Azospirillium, T10: GA3 @ 200 ppm + Azospirillium under three growing conditions i.e.

The experiment was carried out during the year 2021-22 at Department of Fruit Science, Guru Kashi University Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda, Punjab, India. The cuttings were taken from hardwood cutting arising on tree of pomegranate cv. Bhawga, Ganesh, Mridula during the month of January. The experiment was conducted in Randomized block design with 6 treatment and 3 replication. Treatments were consisted of control (0), 1000ppm, 1500ppm, 2000ppm, 2500ppm, 3000ppm.

The present study entitles “Quality assurance and shelf life extension of Kinnow Mandarin under supermarket was conducted at department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo during year 2022. Packaging treatment include T1 ( fruit packed in shrink film), T2 (fruit packed in LDPE film), T3 ( fruit packed in HDPE film), T4 ( control or no packaging). . Experiment was carried out in complete block design with four replications.

The present studies were carried out at Experimental Farm of the Guru Kashi University, Talwandi sabo during 2021 and 2022 to find out the “Effect of different biofertilizers and type of mulching on growth and yield of strawberry cv.Rania”. The experiment laid out in split plot design (SSD) with three replications comprising of 10 treatments viz., T1 ( FYM + Azotobacter. + Phosphate Solubilizing Bcateria), T2 (FYM + Azospri.

Application of microbial pesticides offers great potential for crop protection due to the rising costs of conventional pesticides and rising instances of pesticide toxicity. Entomopathogenic fungi are among the insect-killing fungi that hold great promise for lowering pest populations in agriculture and forestry. The wide range of entomopathogenic fungal biological control agents, which allows one isolate to cover several insect species, is one of its benefits for pest management.

The expression of electrophysiological Visual Acuity as an equivalent subjective score in a population requires a regression model. Where data are not normally distributed, and/or heteroscedastic, then a linear regression is not appropriate, and so an alternative method is presented-the Passing and Bablok (PB) regression. The choice of units, and conversion between them is also discussed given PBs need for common units, and the likelihood of a normal distribution given this choice of units is considered.

Nurses are the only frontline professionals of the healthcare team that spend maximum time at the patient bedside. As a part of the nursing process, nurses generate and record pertinent patient information which primarily forms the basis for the decisions made by the healthcare team. Continued commitment to maintaining nursing excellence and quality nursing documentation remains crucial. Quality nursing documentation isa prerequisite for a safe and effective nursing care. Substandard nursing documentation poses risk to evaluation and outcomes of patient care.

Background: During and after pregnancy, many women experience an increase in the inter-recti abdominal muscle distance due to increased uterine volume as well as stretching and thinning of the linea alba. This condition, on average, affects 66% of women and is associated with spinal pain and instability, pelvic floor muscle weakness, abdominal muscle weakness and increase Waist circumference. Objective: To assess the effect of Kinesiotaping (KT) on the Waist circumference in postnatal women.

The therapeutic efficacy of Jurinea dolomiaea (root) was selected to analyse the anti-diabetic and anti-oxidant activities of their crude plant extract. The plant samples were extracted from polar solvents viz. n-hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol and water. Further crude extracts were screened for the presence of phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols etc. The quantitative analysis of phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids was performed by spectrophotometrically. The evaluation of anti-oxidant activity was determined by DPPH and ABTS methods.

Aim: Find alternatives for the control of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), in Togo, through mineral fertilization of maize. Methods: A completely random block design of four treatments repeated four times was used at the agronomic station of Tchitchao. Three doses of fertilizer, NPK15-15-15 at 200 kg/ha, NPK20-10-10 at 200 kg/ha and the combination 100 kg/ha NPK15-15-15 +100 kg/ha NPK20-10-10; were tested in comparison with the absolute control from November 2019 to March 2020.
