A Survey Study to Assess the Prevalence of Storage Insect Pest on the Seed Health Status of Farmers in Telangana, India

Introduction: Telangana is considered as seed bowl of India. About 65% of rice produced will be used either for consumption or seed purpose.  Hence, farmers save their produce till next season. But in storage it is infested with many insect pests. Due to lack of awareness about scientific storage techniques they are unable to produce quality seed. Materials and Methods: Eighty-five rice seed samples were collected from seven major rice producing areas of the Telangana. Seed samples were drawn from top, middle and bottom positions of the container with a sampler, from the storage structures. A total of fourteen seed stores were sampled and composite samples were collected from these stores for further assessment in a laboratory. From each container, three samples, each consisting of 500 g of rice seed was taken.  Samples were bulked and 500 g sample prepared as sample. Each sample was put in a paper bag and labeled with the necessary information (name of the site, sample number, date of sampling, storage time. Results: Sixty three percent samples were infested with lesser grain borer; Rhyzopertha dominica; Angoumois grain moth; Sitotroga cereallela,  rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae; rust red flour beetle, Tribolium cataneum; Saw toothed beetle Oryzaephillus surinamensis. Among these insect pests, Angoumois grain moth and lesser grain borer were predominant. The maximum seed moisture content (12.57%) was recorded in the samples of Miryalaguda district and minimum seed moisture content (9.39%) in samples of Warangal district. The maximum insect infestation 5.73% was recorded in samples of district Rangareddy and the minimum (0.23%) sample were infested in Mahaboobnagar district. The maximum germination (95%) was noticed in seed sample of Nizamabad district and the minimum (79.57%) in samples of Warangal district. However, the maximum 1745 and minimum 1400 seed vigour index were observed in Nizamabad and Mahaboobnagar districts, respectively. The overall average performance of seed samples collected different villages of seven districts of Telangana were seed moisture content (10.88%) seed damaged (2.16 %), seed germination (90.43%) and Seed Vigour Index (1539)

Effect of Off-season Planting Dates and Varieties on Seed Quality Parameters of Soybean (Glycine max L.) Upon Accelerated Ageing

Three soybean varieties AISb-50, Basara and JS-335 were used in the current study in Adilabad. They were seeded on December 15 and January 15, respectively during the Rabi (2021–2022) season. During the off-season, the varieties were sowed on three replications. To make sure that the requirements for the seed quality of off-season soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) at initial, 3 days of ageing and 5 days of accelerated ageing are explained, as well as the results of different varieties and sowing dates. The plants' collected seeds are sent for an examination of their quality. During the experiment, the following features were examined: speed of germination, field emergence (%), electrical conductivity (µScm-1 g-1), and the following: germination (%), seedling length (cm), seedling vigor index I, seedling dry weight (mg), and seedling vigor index II. The study's conclusions demonstrated how cultivars and planting dates had a substantial impact on the parameters. The 15th January seeded crop (85.78%) had the best germination percentage among the initial, 3 days of aging, and 5 days of accelerated ageing. The AISb-50 variety (88.67%) had the greatest germination percentage among interactions, and the AISb-50 of 15th December (89.00%) had the highest germination percentage. The seedling vigour index I was highest in 15th December sown crop (2605), AISb-50 (2447) variety and in JS-335 of 15th December (2803). The highest seedling dry weight (mg) was recorded in 15th December sown crop (838.40mg), Basara (792.7mg) and in AISb-50 of 15th December (853.1mg). Vigor index II was recorded maximum in Basara (65291),15th December sown crop (71541) and in AISb-50 (74571) of 15th December. While field emergence % was highest in 15th December (81.22%), JS-335(83.17%) and in JS-335, AISb-50 of 15th December sown crop (84.33%). The seed quality parameters was recorded at the initial stage were higher for the above parameters except for electrical conductivity, whereas the highest electrical conductivity was recorded after 5 days of ageing in the 15th January crop (65.75 µScm-1 g-1), Basara (82.50 µScm-1 g-1) and in Basara of 15th January (85.00 µScm-1 g-1). It was noticed that seed quality parameters were significantly affected by sowing date, varieties and accelerated ageing, the freshly harvested seed had good seed quality compared to the aged seed

Effect of Weevil Infestation on Maize Seed and Feed Quality at Different Storage Periods

In the seed /grain samples collected from six months old stock, the highest mean number (32.33) of rice weevils were recorded in Venkatesh Poultry Feed, Karimnagar and Sanjeev Reddy poultry feed, Nizamabad with per cent damage 14.50 and 13.63 per cent respectively. The significantly highest population of rice weevils were recorded in the one year old samples collected from Sharanya Poultry Feed, Karimnagar (36.00) with per cent damage 13.07 %. Similarly the highest mean population of rice weevils were recorded in MARKFED, Ranga reddy (187.67) with per cent damage 53.33 in samples collected from two years old seed stocks. The data indicate population buildup from six months to one year was not significant but population increased by five to six folds from six months to two years storage duration. Germination percentage of the maize samples collected from different locations from six months, one year and two years old stocks showed negative and highly significant relationship with population of Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (-0.86, 0.92 and 0.99, respectively) and similar trend was observed with its infestation (-0.87, -0.96 and -0.99, respectively). While, moisture content (per cent) of the maize samples of six months, one year and two years old stocks collected from different location showed positive and non significant relationship with population of Sitophilus oryzae (l.) (0.49, 0.51 and 0.78) and with its infestation similar trend was noticed (0.39, 0.46 and 0.80), respectively. The population size of weevils and the storage period are the factors that have the highest influence on seed germination

566-571Pt supported on iron hydroxyphosphate catalysts has been synthesized and characterized by various adsorption and spectroscopic methods. X-ray diffraction patterns of the supported and unsupported catalysts indicate a very weak diffraction line due to the Fe5(PO4)3(OH)5 phase. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies reveal a surface composition attributed to Fe5(PO4)3(OH)5 species. The temperature programmed sequential reduction-oxidation-reduction of 1wt.% Pt/Fe5(PO4)3(OH)5 indicates the absence of H2 spillover due to Pt on the Fe5(PO4)3(OH)5 support. The temperature programmed reduction studies also show the non-reducible behavior of Fe5(PO4)3(OH)5 phase

511-515Iron hydroxyphosphate as support for Pt catalysts is explored for preferential oxidation of CO using simulated reformate gas mixture in the temperature range 40-240 °C. The CO oxidation activity and selectivity at low reaction temperatures are enhanced on addition of H2O but decrease at high temperatures due to the reverse water gas shift reaction. X-ray diffraction patterns of the supported and unsupported catalysts show very weak diffraction lines due to the Fe5(PO4)3(OH)5 phase. The chemical composition of this phase on the catalyst surface has been confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results. </span

Effect of Solarization against Bruchid Infestation and Seed Quality in Greengram (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) During Storage

Among the storage insect pests the Pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis is &nbsp;predominant storage pest of&nbsp; green gram which infests during pre and post-harvest stages. The ovipositional potential, adult emergence, seed damage decreased at above 35ºC. After exposing to solar heat, it is better to store the seeds in moisture vapour proof containers like polythene bags having 700 gauge to maintain the quality of seeds during storage. To know the effect of solarization cum&nbsp; packaging in a clear polyethylene (700 gauge) packets on the storability of seeds and bruchid management in greengram. A laboratory study was conducted during June 2018 to April 2019 at the Seed Research and Technology Centre, PJTSAU. The experiment was conducted with eight treatments with three replications. The data on seed germination percentage, seed moisture content, adult emergence and insect infestation were recorded at every three months upto nine months of storage and statistically analyzed by using completely randomized block design (CRD). Solarization of fresh seeds&nbsp; in clear polyethylene (700 gauge) packet for 4 h for 6 days was&nbsp; able to maintain per cent &nbsp;insect infestation (0.49%) below permissible limit and maintained germination percentage (90.67) &gt;IMSCS upto six months of storage as compared with 4.22 per cent seed damage and 83.33&nbsp; per cent germination in untreated control (Fresh seeds).&nbsp;&nbsp; Seeds packed in a clear polyethylene (700 gauge) packet serves as a moisture vapour proof containers and able to reduce moisture by 22.16 per cent over the untreated control

An investigation on the influence of support type for Ni catalysed vapour phase hydrogenation of aqueous levulinic acid to g-valerolactone

Ni (20 wt%) supported on SiO2, γ-Al2O3 and ZrO2 catalysts was examined for hydrogenation of aqueous levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) at 270 °C and ambient pressure. The band intensities of Brønsted (BAS: 1540 cm-1) and Lewis acid sites (LAS: 1450 cm-1) estimated by pyridine adsorbed DRIFT spectra revealed a lower ratio of BAS/LAS over the Ni/SiO2 catalyst than over the Ni/ZrO2 and Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts. The rate of angelica lactone (AL) formation was lower than the rate of AL hydrogenation over the Ni/SiO2 catalyst. The poisoning and regeneration of the Ni/SiO2 catalyst using pyridine and 2,6-dimethylpyridine demonstrated that Lewis acid sites influenced the conversion of LA to AL and subsequent hydrogenation of AL to GVL occurred on surface Ni sites. In contrast, Brønsted acid sites were responsible for the ring opening of GVL to valeric acid (VA). Kinetic data emphasized that the hydrogenation activity and product distribution were dependent on the type of acid site, and the Ni sites in close proximity to Brønsted acid sites are prone to hydrogenolysis of GVL to valeric acid and hydrocarbons
