HEMATOPATHOLOGY AND HISTOLOPATHOLOGY ALTRATION EXPOSURE PEROIDS OF C4H10NO3PS IN FRESHWATER Channa punctata
Get PDFThe current examination surveys the intense poisonousness and conduct changes due to Acephate (C4H10NO3PS), an organophosphate pesticide on Channa punctata (C. punctata). The sublethal centralization of C4H10NO3PS is 910 mg/L. In the current examination the changes in the hematological profiles were explored in C. punctata after presentation to deadly and sublethal exposures of C4H10NO3PS. The estimations of various blood parameters after toxicant introduction and percent changes over control were introduced. Toxicants primarily follow up on circulatory framework and show significant effect on blood parameters. Subsequently, our current examination uncovered the impact of pesticide poisonousness on blood parameters. In contemplates, we have watched the critical changes in blood parameters after presented to 1 day deadly, 1 sublethal, multi day sublethal and 10 sublethal groupings of C4H10NO3PS. In the current investigation the RBC checks, WBC tallies, Hb, and PCV levels were diminished essentially (p <0.05) toxicant uncovered fish when contrasted with control fish. The MCV, MCH and MCHC levels were expanded in toxicant uncovered fish when contrasted with control fish. Likewise the Glucose, TL, AST and ALT levels were essentially expanded after presentation of C4H10NO3PS however the TP esteems were diminished altogether

INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRODUCTIVITY AND ABIOTIC FACTORS-AN INVESTIGATION IN REPRESENTATIVE DOOARS REGION TEA GARDENS OF WEST BENGAL
Get PDFDooars region comprises the northern part of West Bengal bounded by the Teesta river in west, Sankosh river and Assam in the east, the Kingdom of Bhutan in the north and Bangladesh in the south. Roughly the area is 130 km by 40 km and includes the districts of Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar and Coochbehar. Large areas of forest cover is interrupted with plenty of tea gardens which not only add boost in economy but also add socio cultural hotspot because of the fact that good number of tribal peoples inhabited in and around the tea garden who are the workers of the forest and tea garden. But now a day’s tea industry in this area is facing a major break due to less productivity in spite of taking all available precautions. Loppers are the chief culprit in this scenario. Moreover pest surveillance also depends on climatic condition more specifically different environmental abiotic factors. This paper addresses this vital issue. Here attempts are undertaken to understand effect of rainfall and temperature on productivity of tea. In this study Madhu Tea Estate is taken as control site as because since last 10 years it was lockout and proper maintenance such as pruning, irrigation and pesticide spraying is not at all being done. On the other hand Borodighi Tea garden and Chowafulli tea garden are selected as experimental sites where proper maintenance is being done. The Borodighi Tea garden and Chowafulli tea garden are situated in Jalpaiguri District. More specifically two experimental sites are in close proximity. Through MINITAB software version 18 analysis it has been found that both rainfall and temperature having positive correlation with productivity

SNAILS AS BIOLOGICAL MONITOR (BIOINDICATOR)
Get PDFA biological monitor reveals the qualitative status of the environment that are present in many water bodies can be monitored for biochemical or behavioural changes that may indicate a problem within their ecosystem. Bioindicators can tell us about the cumulative effects of different pollutants in the ecosystem. Due to their ubiquitous distribution and enormous species number, molluscs play important ecological roles in the different aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the world. They provide key species for ecosystem functioning because they contribute to huge amounts of the biomass on the different trophic levels in ecosystems. Gastropods represent the only molluscan class in terrestrial ecosystems and consequently, snails are the only molluscs which can be used for bioindication and biomonitoring purposes in these environments. Most species of the snails play a dominant role in the fresh waters by providing food for other organisms like fish and improve water quality by consuming large quantities of detritus and algae. The heavy metal accumulates in the body of the soft parts of the animal, as well as in the shell Gastropoda. Bioaccumulation of heavy metals by gastropods are influenced by environmental factors such as water flow, water availability, pH, sediment, salinity, and other

DIVERSITY OF BUTTERFLIES (LEPIDOPTERA) IN MAHATMA PHULE A. S. C. COLLEGE CAMPUS AND ADJACENT AREAS OF PANVEL, RAIGAD, MAHARASHTRA
Get PDFPanvel region of Raigad district harbors a great range of vegetation, estuary and mountainous hills and thus offers habitation for living organisms including butterflies. Several anthropogenic activities including the ongoing construction of Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) has destroyed habitat in and around Panvel region. Loss of habitat results in the decline of biodiversity of both vertebrates and invertebrates. There is not even a preliminary list of Lepidopteran species of this region. Therefore, the present study was conducted to prepare a checklist of butterflies in the region. Butterflies were observed for one year (from June 2019 to May 2020) in different localities of Mahatma Phule College of Arts, Science and Commerce (MPASC) campus and the adjacent areas in Panvel. A total of 42 species of Lepidopteran belonging to 32 genera and 6 families were recorded. Among the 6 families, Nymphalidae dominated the list with 14 genera and 21 species, Pieridae with 7 genera and 9 species, Lycaenidae with 7 genera and 7 species, Papilionidae with 2 genera and 3 species, Hesperiidae and Riodinidae with 1 genus and 1 species each. This study would provide information on the biodiversity of butterflies of the region that can be used as a baseline preliminary data for further butterfly studies

ANTIFUNGAL POTENTIAL OF PLANTS EXTRACT AGAINST THE FUNGAL PATHOGENS IN CUCUMBER AND BITTER GOURD (CUCURBITACEAE)
Get PDFThe fungicidal activity of five aqueous plant extracts from Azadiracta indica, Eichhornia crassipes, Calatropis procera, Parthinium hysterophorous and Lanta camara was assessed for their antifungal efficacy on the phytopathogenic fungi of Cucumis sativus (Cucumber) and Monardica charantia (Bitter Gourd), Corynespora cassiicola and Cercospera citrullina, causative agents of these plants. Three of the five plant extracts were effective against these phytopathogenic fungi. Parthinium hysterophorous, Azadiracta indica and Calatropis procera, extracts were highly active and showed fungicidal activities against phytopathogenic fungi with a minimum concentration (100%). In contrast, Lanta camara extract showed moderate antifungal activity, while Eichhornia crassipes was not effective against phytopathogenic fungi. Therefore the present study was aimed to investigate the fungicidal properties of medicinal plants. These effective plant extracts can contribute to the development of potentially effective and environmentally safe alternative fungicides to control the damping of phytopathogenic fungi in cucumber and bitter gourd
