Influence of INM on Growth and Yield of Green Gram (Vigna radiata L.) NEPZ
At the United University's Agricultural Research Farm in Rawatpur, Jhalwa, Prayagraj (U.P.), India, during the Kharif season of 2022, a research on green gram (Vigna radiata L.) was carried out to examine the effects of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield, and economics. On green gram (Vigna radiata L), the experiment was conducted using a randomized bock design with three replications in all allowable combinations of inorganic fertilizers, Rhizobium, and PSB together with FYM. This study showed that plant height (91.99 cm), dry weight (105.45 g), and number of root nodules (111.33) were all significantly enhanced by 100% RDF + 5.0 tonnes FYM ha-1 + Rhizobium and PSB seed inoculation. In terms of increasing yield and yield-related indicators, such as number of pods plant-1 (31.43), number of seeds pod-1 (12.46), test weight (37.26 g), and harvest index (34.90%), the same treatment combination likewise showed the best results. As a result, adding farm yard manure at a rate of 5 tonnes per hectare coupled with Rhizobium and PSB increased yield compared to the control. But using 100% RDF, bio fertilizer, and FYM @ 5.0 tonnes ha-1 greatly boosts gross returns (₹ 104,120.00), net returns (₹ 76,017.00), and benefit: cost ratio (2.70). These results showed that the addition of organic matter, inorganic fertilizers, and bio-fertilizers all combined to boost yield while using various nutrition sources
Germination response of Oat (Avena sativa L.) to temperature and salinity using halothermal time model
Seed germination is a complex physiological process influenced by abiotic stresses such as drought, temperature, salinity along with other biological and physical means. Halothermal time model (HaloTT) permitted quantitative assessment of seed germination at different water potential (ψ) and temperature (T). The present study aimed to evaluate the reliability of HaloTT model and to find cardinal temperature values for seed germination of Oats under various Ts and ψs. Avena sativa L. Var. Swan seeds were incubated at seven constant Ts under five various ψs prepared through sodium chloride (NaCl) at Plant Physiology Lab., University of Peshawar, Pakistan. The cardinal Ts measured through HaloTT model for Oats seed germination were 10, 30 and 40 °C for the base (Tb), optimum (To) and ceiling (Tc) temperatures correspondingly in distilled water (0 MPa). The maximum halotime constant (θHalo) was recorded as 48 MPa °Ch−1 at 30 °C in distilled water (0 MPa). The highest value of halotime and thermal time of germination rate was observed at -2.0 MPa at 40 °C. Germination percentage (GP), germination rate index (GRI), germination energy (GE), coefficient of velocity of germination (CVG), timson germination index (TGI), mean germination rate (MGR) and coefficient of variation of germination time (CVt) was observed maximum in 0 MPa at 30 °C, while minimum in -2.0 MPa at 40 °C. Contrarily the high rate of mean germination time (MGT) and time to 50 % germination (T50 %) was reported in -2.0 MPa and -1.5 MPa at 10 and 40 °C, while in distilled water (0 MPa) is lowest at 25 and 30 °C. Thus, we concluded that HaloTT model precisely interpret germination responses to various ψs across different Ts and may be used as an accurate and simple method to predict germination parameters under natural field conditions

Carica papaya L. Leaves: Deciphering Its Antioxidant Bioactives, Biological Activities, Innovative Products, and Safety Aspects. Review
The prevalence of viral infections, cancer, and diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate around the world, and these diseases are
now considered to be the most serious risks to human well-being in the modern period. There is a widespread practice in Asian
countries of using papaya leaves (C. papaya L.) as herbal medicine, either alone or in combination with prescribed medications, to
treat a variety of ailments. The importance of conducting the necessary descriptive studies in order to determine the safety of
papaya leaf consumption is also emphasized in the context of their application in the healthcare sector. Electronic databases
such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed were used to gather information on papaya leaves, their therapeutic potential,
and clinical evidence-based studies. The literature was gathered from publications on papaya leaves, their therapeutic potential,
and clinical evidence-based studies. The antidengue, anticancer, antidiabetic, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects of
papaya leaves discussed in this article are supported by evidence from preclinical, in vivo, in vitro, and clinical trial studies, as
well as from other sources. Leaves have been investigated for their mechanism of action as well as their potential to be used in
the development of novel herbal products for the health business. According to the reports gathered, only a small number of
research demonstrated that leaf extract at high concentrations was hazardous to certain organs. The collective literature
reviewed in this review provides insights into the use of papaya leaves as a cure for epidemic diseases, highlighting the
phytochemical composition and pharmacological attributes of papaya leaves, as well as the results of various preclinical and
clinical studies that have been conducted so far on the subject. The review clearly demonstrates the successful medical evidence
for the use of papaya leaf extracts in the healthcare system as a supplemental herbal medication in a variety of clinical settings

Recent Developments in Adsorption of Dyes Using Graphene Based Nanomaterials
Dyes are frequently let out into the environment along with wastewater
sans necessary treatment. Fast, cost-effective, scientific and suitable elimination of
dyes from wastewaters has been an important problem for researchers. Adsorption
technique is a robust, well studied, widely employed and promising water treatment
method. In the last decade, nanocarbon based adsorbents have gained attention in
water treatment. These adsorbents are usually produced from low cost substrate and
are found to be highly efficient than other adsorbents. Recently, graphene based
nanomaterials are widely used as adsorbents to sorb various toxic organic contaminants
from aqueous solutions. It showed high efficiency due to its chemical
stability, structure, surface area and surface functional groups. So graphene are
called as ‘miracle material’. Recently nanographene composites are proven to be a
likely adsorbent for eliminating contaminants from the industrial effluents. In this
chapter, we have presented briefly the synthesis of graphene and its other variants
viz., GO, rGO and nano graphene composites. This chapter presents a small
introduction to adsorption principles and adsorption isotherms. It explains the
synthesis and use of nano graphene materials for the remediation of dyes. It also
consolidates the recent literature available for dye adsorption using graphene
materials and its mechanism
