The Colletotrichum Gloeosporioides Epidemic in Mangoes
Full text linkThe earliest reported occurrence of anthracnose was 45th SMW, while the highest incidence was 31.95% on 52nd SMV. From the thirteenth to the fourteenth SMW, the illness advanced more rapidly (11.35 to 26.41%), but from the fifth to the tenth SMW, it advanced more slowly (26.73 to 9.63%). It is evident that the mango anthracnose illness may begin as early as 45 SMW (the 2nd week of November) and continue until 20 SMW (the 3rd week of May), and the window period for the disease can be defined as the 49th to 52nd SMW (30.61 to 31.95 %). To stop the illness from spreading and losses from occurring, appropriate management actions should be implemented between the 47th and 52nd MSW. Topics covered include mangoes, epidemiology, anthracnose, and Colletotrichum Gloeosporioides

Three Crucial Pulses: ABA-Induced Alterations to Their Pigment Contents, Photosynthetic Gas Exchange Properties, Leaf Area, and Dry Matter Accumulation
Full text linkAn experiment was conducted at TNAU, Coimbatore, to study the reaction of three significant pulses—Soyabean, greengram, and blackgram—to ABA that was sprayed from outside the plant. Pulse responses to drought stress demonstrate that chemical signals control stomatal aperture and photosynthesis. The exact mechanism by which Abscisic acid (ABA) chemical signals regulate the stomatal opening remains unknown, nevertheless. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the gas exchange parameter changes caused by ABA in the dominant soybean, green gram, and black gram varieties, and to find the crops that can improve water use efficiency by ABA treatments that maintain higher photosynthetic rates and lower transpiration rates. We grew all of the pulses in well-watered soil and gave them an ABA treatment. After the 22nd day after sowing, gas exchange metrics exhibited substantial alterations when an exogenous 10-5M ABA solution was applied for three consecutive days. Photosynthesis, leaf area, total dimethyl phosphorus, and photosynthetic pigments exhibited remarkable stability in greengram when treated with ABA sprays, although stomatal conductance decreased in all pulses. The transpiration rate was low in greengram compared to its control, while it was high in soyabean and blackgram. Clearly, under extended drought circumstances, ABA-induced increases in greengram represent an improvement in water-use efficiency. Pulses, ABA, stomatal conductance, transpiration, photosynthesis, pigment contents, leaf area, and total dry matter accumulation are all terms that fall under this umbrella
Modeling the Unpredictable Growth of Agricultural Monopolies' Output and Corporation Tax
Full text linkThe primary objective of this work is to provide a basic model for the production growth of a chaotic agricultural monopoly that may produce stable equilibria, cycles, or anarchy. In this work, one important hypothesis is that the coefficient π= f ( 1 -n ) (a - d) is very important for understanding the local stability of the output of an agricultural monopoly. Here, d is the coefficient of the firm's total cost function, an is the coefficient of the inverse demand function, n is the corporation tax rate, and f is the coefficient that represents the relationship between the after-tax profit of the firm in period t and the output of the firm in period t+1. The Agricultural Monopoly Firm, Agricultural Output, Corporation Tax, and Chaos are all related terms
MICROBIAL-INDUCED CALCIUM CARBONATE PRECIPITATION FOR SOIL IMPROVEMENT
Full text linkMicrobial-Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) is a promising biotechnological approach for soil improvement. This process involves the use of microorganisms to catalyze the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in soil. The microbes, commonly bacteria like Sporosarcina pasteurii, facilitate urease-mediated reactions that convert urea into ammonia and carbonate ions, which then react with calcium ions present in the soil to form CaCO₃. The precipitate increases soil strength, reduces permeability, and enhances stability, making it an effective alternative to traditional soil stabilization methods
