Remote sensing study on geomorphological degradation of Sarda Sagar reservoir.

Abstract: An attempt was made to estimate the geomorphological degradation due to sedimentation of Sarda Sagar reservoir, located in Pilibhit and Udhamsingh Nagar, district of Uttar Pradash and Uttarakhand respectively. The study was conducted using multidated IRS LIISS III remote sensing data for the year 2006-2007. Using satellite images of different seasons during 2006-2007, a total of 45.23 million m3 volume of sedimentation was computed in-between the 183.704 m and 190.504 m elevation. The reservoir has lost 11.72 % of the total capacity of water storage and an average rate of sedimentation was calculated as 0.26 % per year. Due to this sedimentation the new feeder channel of Sarda Sagar is choked with silt and the water flow from this channel has almost stopped. The morphology of the reservoir has been changed due to sedimentation during the period 1962 to 2007. This has altered breeding ground of fishes since important indigenous fish species which need flowing water condition to perform the breeding. This study would be helpful for the planners to manage the reservoir and to assess the biological productivity.

Identification of Bipolaris maydis race T pathogenic to Populus deltoides

Abstract: Isolates of Bipolaris maydis pathogenic to Populus deltoides were identified to be race T on the basis of their virulence to certain male-cultivars of the host from Texas provenance, toxin production, sclerolia formation, light pigmentation and poor sporulating potency on the culture media under controlled conditions.

Investigation of complete and incomplete fusion in 20Ne + 51V system using recoil range measurement

Abstract: Recoil range distributions of evaporation residues, populated in 20 Ne + 51 V reaction at Elab ≈ 145 MeV, have been studied to determine the degree of momentum transferred through the complete and incomplete fusion reactions. Evaporation residues (ERs) populated through the complete and incomplete fusion reactions have been identified on the basis of their recoil range in the Al catcher medium. Measured recoil range of evaporation residues have been compared with the theoretical value calculated using the code SRIM. Range integrated cross section of observed ERs have been compared with the value predicted by statistical model code PACE4.

Impact of exogenous application of Indole Acetic Acid on accumulation of heavy metal and antioxidants in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under sewage water irrigation

Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the activities of antioxidative enzymes SOD, CAT & GR, non-enzymatic antioxidants i.e. carotenoid & proline and uptake of heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Zn, Cu and Fe) in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety PBW-343 grown under sewage water (SW) collected from Quilla channel of Bareilly city (U.P), India. Wheat was irrigated with two concentrations (50% and 100%) of sewage water along with exogenous application of 10 and 20 ppm Indole-3 Acetic Acid (IAA). Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant was significantly higher in 100% SW as compared to 50% SW. There was a significant (p<0.001) increase in carotenoid and proline content whereas decrease in uptake of toxic heavy metals was observed in wheat irrigated with SW+10 and 20 ppm IAA as compared to SW and control. Further, significant (p<0.001) decline in carotenoid and proline content was evident in 20 ppm IAA as compared to 10 ppm IAA in both the concentrations of SW. In contrast, under both the concentrations of SW, heavy metals especially Cr found to decrease (p<0.05) whereas significant decrease was also noticed in Zn, Cu and Fe uptake on application of 20 ppm IAA as compared to 10 ppm IAA and SW alone.

Behavioral and morphological changes in fresh water fish, Channa punctatus under the exposure of Cadmium

Abstract: Heavy metal contamination in fresh water bodies is of great concern owing to their toxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation. The current study deals with the acute toxicity of cadmium to fresh water fish, Channa punctatus. The objective of this study was to grasp the link between mortality and abnormal behavioral and morphological changes of C. punctatus exposed to cadmium chloride. Static bioassay tests were carried out to evaluate LC50 value of Cadmium (Cd) for fresh water fish, C. punctatus as well as the behavioral responses and morphological changes were also observed. Fish after treatment with various concentrations of cadmium chloride for different exposure period the percent mortality was recorded. The lowest cadmium chloride concentration at which mortality was observed as 45 mg/l. The first death of experimental fish was recorded as 125 mg/l at 24 hrs. of exposure. After 96 hrs. LC50 value of cadmium (Cd) was found to be 80.62mg/l. The major behavioral responses observed during the experiment were restlessness, jumping, erratic swimming, gulping of air at the surface, loss of equilibrium, sluggishness,opercular movements and fishes lied on the water surface before death and morphological changes like, discoloration of skin, pigmented patches on body, shedding of scales, sedimentation of chemical on body, mucous secretion, and ballooning were observed in exposed animals. The observed data showed that C.punctatus can be used as a good bio-indicator for heavy metal contamination in fresh water bodies.
