This approach decomposes annual rainfall series and long-term climate indices into component sub-series at different temporal scales, allowing for a more detailed analysis of the factors influencing annual rainfall. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) is then used to predict annual rainfall, with climate indices sub-series as predictive variables, using a step-wise linear regression algorithm. The proposed model has been tested on Indian annual rainfall data and compared with the traditional MLR model. Results show that the MRA-based model outperforms the traditional model in terms of relative absolute error and correlation coefficient metrics. The proposed method offers several advantages over traditional methods as it can identify underlying factors affecting annual rainfall at different temporal scales, providing more accurate and reliable rainfall forecasts
for better water resource management and agricultural planning. In conclusion, the MRA-based approach is a promising tool for improving the accuracy of annual rainfall predictions, and its implementation can lead to better water resource management and agricultural planningNot Availabl

No full textNot AvailableNeem enrichment extract (NEE) was used at different concentrations viz., 0, 2.5, 5 and 10% to check its
effect on second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne spp. Root knot nematode bio-assay in Petri Plates as well as in pot culture experiments were carried out with NEE.The results indicated that neem cake extracts was effective to control the root knot nematodes due to the presence of biological substance (azadirachtin, salannin, nimbin) and its derivative compounds (triterpenoid, limonoid).Not Availabl

This study evaluated the effect of storage period and packaging materials on the quality attributes of spice-flavoured sorghum millet cookies. Quality characteristics such as moisture content, texture, overall acceptability, antioxidant activity, free fatty acid, and peroxide value of gluten-free cookies made from sorghum millet flour were investigated during the storage period under ambient conditions. The result of the study indicated that the moisture content, free fatty acid, and peroxide value of developed cookies increased while hardness decreased with an increase in storage time for cookies packed in both BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) and metallised polyester package. During storage, moisture content increased more in biaxially oriented polypropylene as compared to metallised polyester package. The free fatty acid and peroxide value of cookies increased in both packaging materials during storage whereas, the highest increase was observed in 120 days of storage. The metallised polyester package was found to be the best packaging material than biaxially oriented polypropylene with respect to sensory, textural and shelf stability characteristics of sorghum cookies.Not Availabl

In the present study, the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on root colonization, growth, nutrition, photosynthetic gas exchange and antioxidant activities of black pepper cuttings were evaluated under polyhouse conditions. The single node cuttings of black pepper were grown in the presence and absence of AM combinations for 150 days under poly house. AM inoculated plants showed significantly higher mycorrhizal root colonization (95%) and spore numbers (312/50 g of sample). The effect of AM fungi was more prominent in improving root biomass than above ground biomass. Nutrient accumulations were higher in AM inoculated plants rather than uninoculated black pepper plants. Amount of acid phosphatase and dehydrogenase activity were significantly higher in AM inoculated soils. Net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance of AM colonized black pepper leaves were found to be significantly greater than uninoculated plants. The influence of AM was more prominent on poly phenol oxidase and β-glucanase activity in leaves than roots. In principal component analysis the scatter plot revealed variations of the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth of black pepper cuttings. Based on these results, AM inoculation at the earlier stage of plant development could improve symbiosis, and increased plant growth in the nursery which may improve the performance after planting in the field.Not Availabl
