Due to rainfall, closed weeding of paddy fields and other reasons, submergence stress often occurs during the germination emergence stages direct-seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.), which leads intensified anaerobic respiration, accelerated consumption stored nutrients, difficulty in seeds, uneven seedlings varying yields. Recent advances understanding phytohormone interaction regulation signaling p...

geometry of the chute blocks in stilling basins plays a significant role in size and type of these structures. one of the most influencing factors in the design of the blocks is the fluctuating pressure which may cause fatigue on the blocks. despite investigations conducted by many researchers, there is not enough information about the pressure fluctuation around chute blocks in compacted still...

Climate change and the consequent increase in incidence of drought flood will remain a major threat to smallholders. Hence, it is crucial adopt an appropriate adaptation strategy overcome this farmers’ income. Because seed primary input, adoption stress-tolerant rice varieties potential mitigation combat climate risks. In context, present study carried out among paddy farmers flood-prone region...

Submergence stress due to flash floods reduces rice yield drastically in sensitive varieties. Maudamani is a high yielding popular variety but highly susceptible submergence stress. The selection of progenies carrying Sub1 and GW5 (wide-grain) enhanced the tolerance grain theMaudamani by following marker-assisted backcross breeding method. Foreground screening detected 14 BC1F1, 17 BC2F1, 12 BC...

Rotating biological contactors (RBCs) constitute a very unique and superior alternative for biodegradable matter and nitrogen removal on account of their feasibility, simplicity of design and operation, low land area requirement, low energy consumption, low operating and maintenance cost and treatment efficiency. The present review of RBCs focus on parameters that affect performance like rotati...
