Biofertilizers for crop improvement
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2023) G.K. Chouhan; D. Singh; A. Mukherjee; S. Singh; A.P.A. Pereira; J.P. Verma
The increasing world population is one of the significant threats to food security. Currently, the cultivable land for agriculture is gradually decreasing, and the soil is becoming infertile. The vigorous use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is increasing continuously for higher crop productivity to meet the growing populations global food demand. Nowadays, chemical farming is causing many environmental problems that directly and indirectly affect human health. Therefore, organic agriculture (bio-fertilizer, biopesticide, Integrated Crop Management (ICM), Integrated pest management (IPM), crop rotation, green manuring, Farmyard manure (FYM), mixed cropping sequence, etc.) is the only alternative practice for saving our environment and producing quality food for the human being. This book chapter focuses on biofertilizers and their application for crop improvement. Bio-fertilizer contains microorganism providing adequate nutrients to the host plant for proper growth and development. Living microorganisms have a specific function used to prepare biofertilizers to augment plant growth and reproduction. It has great potential to sustain long-term soil fertility and crop production. Nowadays, the application of liquid biofertilizer shows a very effective response in various crops, which has overcome the previous restrictions of biofertilizer applications. However, we need efficient and indigenous biofertilizers to enhance crop productivity, nutritional quality and soil health. These biofertilizers can replace chemical fertilizers. Biofertilizers are eco-friendly, cost-effective and socially acceptable for sustainable agricultural productivity. © 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
Distribution and ethnic variation of â-thalassemia mutations in Nepal.
(2012) A. Mishra; A. Mukherjee; A. Roy; G. Singh; P. Shrestha; R.R. Singh; V. Rohil; N. Baral; S. Majhi; D. Dash
This is the first study characterizing spectrum of beta-thalassemia mutations in Nepalese population. Mutations were analyzed in 22 patients using 10 sets of allele-specific primers. Five of the mutations, namely F.S 41/42 (--TCTT), IVS1 nt5 (G-->C), IVS1 nt1 (G-->T), 619 bp deletion and F.S 8/9 (+G), were found to constitute 87.82% of total alleles studied. F.S 41/42 (--TCTT) was the commonest mutation. -88 (C-->T), Codon 16 (--C) and Codon 15 (G-->A), had a combined frequency of 12.18%. Distribution of mutations causing beta-thalassemia in different ethnic Nepalese groups was analyzed. The mutational profile in Nepal share several similarities with that from the two neighboring countries, India and China. Detection of more than one mutation in three cases of thalassemia trait raises the likelihood of existence of multiple mutations in cis in Nepalese thalassemic carriers. Such possibility has to be carefully considered while developing prenatal screening program for Nepalese population.

(American Physical Society, 2021) Saikat Bhattacharjee; A. Mukherjee; Ashish Gupta; Rajkumar Santra; D. Chattopadhyay; N. Deshmukh; Sangeeta Dhuri; Shilpi Gupta; V.V. Parkar; S.K. Pandit; K. Ramachandran; K. Mahata; A. Shrivastava; Rebecca Pachuau; S. Rathi
Fusion cross sections have been measured for the asymmetric system O16+Ho165 at energies near and deep below the Coulomb barrier with an aim to investigate the occurrence of fusion hindrance for the system. Cross sections down to ≈700 nb have been measured using the off-beam γ-ray technique. The fusion cross sections have been compared with the coupled channel calculations. The energy onset of fusion hindrance appears to occur at Ec.m.=57±0.85 MeV, where a deviation in the slope of the experimental logarithmic derivative compared to that of coupled channel calculations has been observed. This is in agreement with the value obtained from the touching point configuration of the adiabatic model. © 2021 American Physical Society.

Seasonal and temporal variations in physico-chemical and bacteriological characteristics of river ganga in varanasi
(2009) A. Mishra; A. Mukherjee; B.D. Tripathi
Various physico chemical characteristics of the river Ganga in Varanasi were studied in the Oct 2005 to Nov 2006. Ecological parameters like dissolved oxygen(DO), pH, nitrate(NO3-), PO43- and bacterial population were analyzed and compared with standard permissible limits to assess the best designated use of the river water for various purposes. Study revealed that the water quality at Varanasi was not safe for human use. Result shows that Fecal coliform (20.9×103/100mL), Fecal streptococci (93/100mL), Total bacterial density (1.43×103/L), Total coliform (25.4×103/100mL) Escherichia coli (6.9×103/100mL) and Clostridium perfringens (396/100mL) were substantially high and much beyond the permissible limit of ISI and WHO. There were a marked correlation observed between physico-chemical quality of water and bacterial density. Some pathogenic bacteria Actinomyces sp., Aerobacter aerogenes, A. Cloacae, Micrococcus sp., Salmonella sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus sp. and Shigella sp., that indicate the higher level of fecal contamination in water. These untreated water sources are used for drinking and domestic purposes and pose a serious threat to the health of the consumers and therefore calls for urgent intervention by government.
Seaweed extract: biostimulator of plant defense and plant productivity
(Springer, 2020) A. Mukherjee; J.S. Patel
The application of seaweeds as muck in agricultural farming has been very common from ancient times in the Roman Empire, Japan, China, France, Spain, Britain, etc. Most coastal areas all over the world use seaweeds as bio-fertilizer for crop production. Seaweed extracts are used in different ways like seed treatment, foliar spray and soil application for plant protection and for plant growth promotion. Seaweed extract is more useful than chemical fertilizer because of its bio-decomposable, non-toxic and eco-friendly property. These are the most important reasons to use seaweed extracts in recent years for sustainable agriculture in organic and integrated organic farming. Seaweeds affect agricultural crops for enhancement of plant growth, seedling growth, both root hair and secondary root development. It can also improve nutrient incorporation, fruit setting, resistance properties against pests and diseases, improving the stress management (drought, salinity and temperature). The present review focused on use of seaweed extract in the agricultural system and novel strategies for the use of seaweed extract. © 2019, Islamic Azad University (IAU).

Objectives: This study aims to describe the demographic and clinical profile and ascertain the determinants of outcome among hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) adult patients enrolled in the National Clinical Registry for COVID-19 (NCRC). Methods: NCRC is an on-going data collection platform operational in 42 hospitals across India. Data of hospitalized COVID-19 patients enrolled in NCRC between 1st September 2020 to 26th October 2021 were examined. Results: Analysis of 29 509 hospitalized, adult COVID-19 patients [mean (SD) age: 51.1 (16.2) year; male: 18 752 (63.6%)] showed that 15 678 (53.1%) had at least one comorbidity. Among 25 715 (87.1%) symptomatic patients, fever was the commonest symptom (72.3%) followed by shortness of breath (48.9%) and dry cough (45.5%). In-hospital mortality was 14.5% (n = 3957). Adjusted odds of dying were significantly higher in age group ≥60 years, males, with diabetes, chronic kidney diseases, chronic liver disease, malignancy and tuberculosis, presenting with dyspnoea and neurological symptoms. WHO ordinal scale 4 or above at admission carried the highest odds of dying [5.6 (95% CI: 4.6–7.0)]. Patients receiving one [OR: 0.5 (95% CI: 0.4–0.7)] or two doses of anti-SARS CoV-2 vaccine [OR: 0.4 (95% CI: 0.3–0.7)] were protected from in-hospital mortality. Conclusions: WHO ordinal scale at admission is the most important independent predictor for in-hospital death in COVID-19 patients. Anti-SARS-CoV2 vaccination provides significant protection against mortality. © The Author(s) 2022.
