Kultur Teknis Padi Sawah Di Desa Bubulak, Kecamatan Bogor Barat, Kota Bogor, Jawa Barat

Bubulak village is an area where almost all of its land has been turned into housing, so there is less land for agriculture. However, there are some paddy fields whose size is only ± 300 m to ± 600 m. The problems that occurs is the existence of Plant Pests (PP). PP include pests, diseases and weeds that interfere with the physiology of plants, eat parts of plants, become intermediaries for other organisms that are more destructive, disturbing in obtaining living necessities of cultivated plants. Pests that often attack rice plants are brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), sting bug (Leptocorica acuta), rats, and fleas. Avoiding the pest attack can be done with the right technical features such as spacing, rotation of varieties, and irrigation. This study aims to determine the technical culture carried out by Bubulak village farmers on lowland rice to eracdicate Plant Pests (PP). This study was conducted in Bubulak village, West Bogor District, Bogor City. The method used is an interview to the community. The results obtained are rice varieties plants by farmer is IR 64. The spasing system used is not jajar legowo system and makes the irrigation system around the plantations. It can be concluded that the technical culture (method of cultivation of farmers in Bubulak village is still not appropriate in planting lowland rice. Key words: plant pests (PP), rice, technical culture&nbsp

Weed seed bank and weed population as influenced by weed management practices in rice var Co 54

Weed seed bank in soil serves as the reservoir of weed seeds which emerge whenever conditions become conducive and affects crop growth.  In the present study, a field experiment was performed at Agricultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Madurai, India, during Kharif 2021 and Rabi 2022 to determine weed seed bank present in soil by direct seed extraction using the sieving method at discrete depths of 0-5 cm, 5-10 cm and 10-15 cm after rice harvest with reference to different weed management practices imposed and its effect on weed population in succeeding crop. The average proportion of weeds that emerged in the field ranged from 9 to 38 % of the total weed seed bank. Weed management practices followed during the preceding crop greatly influenced weed seed germination. The higher weed seed reserve (1384 m-2) and consequent weed population (528 no’s m-2) were found at a depth of 0-5 cm in unweeded plots. The lower weed seed density (536 m-2) and weed population (94 no’s m-2) were found in pre emergence application of Pyrazosulfuron + Pretilachlor and early post emergence application of Bispyripac sodium. The results from the present study confirmed that herbicide treatment considerably minimized the weed seed density and population, which will assist in predicting weed infestation and appropriate timing of weed control

Serum neopterin levels in HIV infected patients with & without tuberculosis

Background & Objective: Three categories of prognostic markers are best documented as having significance in relation to prognosis of HIV infection. These include HIV viral load, CD4 T-cell levels and plasma levels of soluble markers of immune activation. The plasma activation markers, like neopterin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukins etc., are products of cytokine activity and represent immunologic changes throughout the body. There is not much information available on serum neopterin estimation in patients infected with both HIV and tuberculosis (TB), though neopterin levels are known to be elevated in pulmonary TB patients. In this study we attempted to correlate neopterin levels with the presence of tuberculosis in HIV infected and uninfected individuals and studied the changes after antituberculosis treatment. Methods: Serum neopterin concentrations were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in 25 HIV-seropositive (HIV-TB) and 10-seronegative (TB) patients with tuberculosis before, during and at the end of antituberculosis therapy (ATT). S-neo was also measured in 10 HIV-seropositive asymptomatic individuals and 10 healthy controls. The results were correlated with clinical, bacteriological and immunological status. Results: All TB patients regardless of HIV status had elevated s-neo concentrations at diagnosis, which declined gradually during treatment. Patients with HIV/TB with CD4 counts <200/mm3 had the highest levels at baseline with a steep fall during treatment. The median level at the end of treatment was significantly higher in HIV/TB than in TB patients, despite clinical improvement and bacteriological clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. HIV infected asymptomatic individuals had neopterin levels that were higher than healthy controls but lower than HIV-TB patients. Interpretation & Conclusion: Serum neopterin levels are elevated in HIV-positive patients, with the highest levels in those with tuberculosis and CD4 counts <200/mm3. Though the levels decrease with anti tuberculosis therapy, persistently elevated levels indicate progressive HIV disease and a poor prognosis

A validated high-performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of rifampicin and desacetyl rifampicin in plasma and urine

Objective: To standardize a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of rifampicin (RMP) and its major metabolite desacetyl rifampicin (DRMP) in plasma and urine. Material and Methods: A simple, specific and sensitive HPLC method was developed for the determination of RMP and DRMP in plasma and urine. Separation in both was achieved by reversephase chromatography on a C18 column with a mobile phase composition of 0.05 M phosphate buffer: acetonitrile (55:45 v/v) at 254 nm. Results: The retention times of DRMP, RMP and Rifapentine (RPN), the internal standard were 2.9, 4.8 and 10.5 min respectively. The assay was linear from 0.25 to 15.0 μg ml-1 for plasma and 2.5 to 80.0 μg ml-1 for urine. Both intra-day and inter-day accuracy and precision data showed good reproducibility. Conclusion: The HPLC method described is sensitive, selective and linear for the wide range of concentrations for RMP and DRMP in plasma and urine. Thus, the method developed is well suited for the pharmacokinetic studies
