on sorghum [(L.) Moench] was evaluated in a micro-plot experiment during rainy () season
(May to September 2013) at ICAR-Central Soil Salinity Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana. The experiment was
conducted in randomised block design, consisted of 5 treatments of different RSC levels [RSC nil (control), RSC
5meq/L, RSC 10meq/L, RSC 10meq/L (neutralized 5meq/L with gypsum), RSC 10meq/L (neutralized 5meq/L
with H2SO4)] with 4 replications. Increase in concentration of RSC in water from RSC 5 to 10 resulted in reduction
in growth parameters like plant height, leaf to stem green biomass, leaf area index, but extent of reduction was
lesser, while using RSC water reclaimed with gypsum and sulphuric acid. Neutralization of RSC in irrigation water
with gypsum proved a safer and economical option to use high RSC groundwater for irrigation of sorghum for profitable
fodder production as compared to sulphuric acid.Not Availabl
Effect of Phosphorus and Bio-fertilizers on Growth and Yield of Urdbean [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper]
No full textA field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2014 on loamy sand soil to study the effect of phosphorus levels and bio-fertilizers on growth and yield of urdbean. Experiment consisted of four treatments of phosphorus levels (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha) and four treatments of bio-fertilizers (control, PSB, VAM and PSB + VAM) thereby making sixteen treatment combinations tested in randomized block design with three replications. Result indicated that application of phosphorus up to 40 kg/ha significantly increased the growth and yield determining characters viz., plant height, number of branches/plant, dry matter accumulation/m row length, number and weight of root nodules/plant, CGR, RGR, number of pods/plant, grains/pod, test weight, grain yield, straw yield, biological yield, harvest index and net returns and its remain at par with 60 kg/ha. Seed and soil inoculation with PSB + VAM significantly enhanced the growth and yield attributing characters over PSB, VAM and control

Results revealed that at 30 DAS response of weed control method was not noticed significant on plant height but at 60 DAS and harvest, besides weed free treatment ,application of Oxadiargyl 50 g ha-1 20 DAS + HW, exhibited the highest plant height being at par with all treatments except weedy check and application of Glyphosate @ 0.5 kg /ha. Similarly, besides weed free treatments the highest yield attributes and yield of cumin was recorded with post emergence application of Oxadiargyl 50 g ha-1 20 DAS + HW, being statistically at par with rest of the treatments except weedy check and post emergence application of Glyphosphate @ 0.5 kg /ha. The highest net return (Rs.41081 /ha) and BCR (2.17) was recorded with application of Oxadiargyl 50 g /ha at 20 DAS which were higher over rest of the treatments. Thus, it can be inferred that application of Oxadiargyl 50 g ha-1at 7DAS or 20 DAS + HW is best method of weed control for realizing higher yieldNot Availabl
Tuberculosis-diabetes screening: how well are we doing? A mixed-methods study from North India
No full textThis item is not available on ChesterRep.Setting: Public health care facilities in Sonipat District, Haryana State, India.
Objectives: To assess 1) the proportion of tuberculosis (TB) patients screened for diabetes mellitus (DM) and vice versa, 2) factors associated with screening, and 3) the enablers, barriers and solutions related to screening.
Design: A mixed-methods study with quantitative (cohort study involving record reviews of patients registered between November 2016 and April 2017) and qualitative (interviews of patients, health care providers [HCPs] and key district-level staff) components.
Results: Screening for TB among DM patients was not implemented, despite documents indicating that it had been. Of 562 TB patients, only 137 (24%) were screened for DM. TB patients registered at tertiary and secondary health centres were more likely to be screened than primary health centres. Low patient awareness, poor knowledge of guidelines among HCPs, lack of staff and inadequate training were barriers to screening. Enablers were the positive attitude of HCPs and programme staff. The key solutions suggested were to improve awareness of HCPs and patients regarding the need for screening, training of HCPs and wider availability of DM testing facilities.
Conclusion: The implementation of bidirectional screening was poor. Adequate staffing, regular training, continuous laboratory supplies for DM diagnosis and widespread publicity should be ensured
