Certain nutrients

Edible insects are an important source of nutrients that can help to cover certain nutritional deficiencies. This is the case with Macrotermes subhyalinus, a species of termite widely consumed in Côte d'Ivoire. This study was carried out to assess the mineral content and their bioavailability in the different castes (winged, queen and soldier) of this species.

Ruminants are herbivorous, forgot fermentors. They are able to acquire nutrients from plant based foods by fermenting it in a specialized stomach having four-compartment stomach. Any sudden change in feeding pattern or an improper feeding regimen is bound to disturb the balance of the various types of microbes, leading to an over population of certain unfavorable microbes and changes in rumen environment that may cause severe problem in animals.

The main constraints hampering higher yields and quality of groundnut in Karnataka could be attributed to several production constraints, which may biotic and abiotic stresses include poor and imbalanced nutrition. Therefore, plant nutrition plays a vital role in increasing production and productivity of groundnut. Fertilizer application normally results in increased crop yields up to certain levels. However, the exact time and dose of fertilizer application is also important for successful exploitation of the crop’s potentiality in terms of yield.

The continuous use or excess supply of inorganic fertilizers as source of nutrient in imbalanced proportion is also a problem, causing economic inefficiency, damage to the environment and in certain situations, harm the plants themselves and also to human being who consume them. On the other hand, increase in productivity of horticultural produce removes large amounts of essential nutrients from the soil. Without proper management, continuous production of crops reduces nutrient reserves in the soil.

Sathgudi cultivar of sweet orange is very popular in Andhra Pradesh and it is successfully grown in Rayalaseema region (Red and loamy soils) of Andhra Pradesh. In certain scarce rainfall regions of Andhra Pradesh, Ambe bahar flower initiation in sweet orange occurs late in February and extended up to first fortnight of March resulting poor fruit growth, leading to low economic fruit yields.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a perennial shrub and a tuberous root crop well adapted to poor soils and is relatively tolerant to drought, the crop is usually grown under marginal soil and climatic conditions and often with very limited inputs of fertilizers and pesticides. In India, cassava is cultivated in varied agro climatic and pedogenic environments. In Tamil Nadu, it is cultivated mainly for industrial uses, cassava is grown in black soils (Vertisols) and red soils (Alfisols).

Certain strains of microalgae known as diatoms were shown, under appropriate conditions, to produce up to 60% of their cellular mass as lipids under certain growth conditions. Acetyl-Co-A carboxylase catalyses the first committed step in the synthesis of fatty acids, i.e., carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. In present study we have isolated the two species of marine diatoms Odontella aurita and Chaetoceros muelleri from Vellar estuary Parangipettai Southest coast of India and studied the acetyl co-A carboxylase activity at different Si treatment nutrient medium.

Co-inoculation of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and certain species of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) help to bring the poorly soluble nutrients into the soil solution, thus enhancing nutrient uptake. The present investigation was carried out with objectives to study the effect of co-inoculation of AMF and PGPR (viz. Burkholderia cepacia and Azospirillum brasilense) on soil Zn fractions and Zn uptake by maize. A field experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments, each replicated thrice.

Plant growth promoting rhizo-bacteria (PGPR) affect plant growth by producing and releasing secondary metabolites (plant growth regulators/phytohormones/biologically active substances), facilitating the availability and uptake of certain nutrients from the root environment and inhibiting plant pathogenic organisms in the rhizosphere. At the same time, plants produce root exudates containing e.g. sugars, amino acids, organic acids, vitamins, enzymes and organic or inorganic ions.

The daily average concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere rose above 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time on record in 2013, up from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution. The CO2 fertilization hypothesis stipulates that rising atmospheric CO2 has a positive effect on tree growth due to increasing availability of carbon. Hence, an attempt was made to understand the response of C. inophyllum seedlings to the elevated CO2 condition when they are grown in nutrient rich soils. Three month old seedlings were subjected to total nine treatments with four replication.

Land use is characterized by the arrangements, activities and inputs that people undertake in a certain land cover type to produce change. It affects soil properties, overall soil health and the distribution supply of soil nutrients by directly altering biological transformations in the rooting zone. The present study “Assessment of soil microbial status under different land use systems in North western zone of Kashmir” was carried out to ascertain the biological properties of soils under five land use systems, viz.

Nitrogen management strategies developed so far are mainly based on soil tests targeted yield and generally N recommendations are made for large areas which certainly do not take into account the field to field and season to season variability. Nitrogen being the most dynamic nutrient, we have to develop real time N management strategies which are meant by applying the N doses to the crop as and when needed.

Sustainable agricultural development and crop yield maximization is the major objective of present Indian agriculture, which can be achieved through restoration and scientific management of land productivity. Under such circumstances, organic nutrient supply system plays key role as they not only supply macronutrients but also supply micronutrients as well as certain hormones and metabolites. However, nutrient management plays an important role in growth and yield of tomato.

Phosphorus and micronutrients (zinc, copper, iron and manganese) are the essential nutrients which are required for normal plant growth. Phosphorus and all micronutrient cations are mutually antagonistic in certain circumstances which can cause yield reductions in many crops due to their deficiencies. Deficiencies typically happen when a nutrient is available in small amounts.

Fruit Crops yield and quality significantly increase with the use of micronutrients such as zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), Calcium (Ca) Magnesium (Mg) Boron (B), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), etc. Zinc (Zn) has an important metabolically role in plants vegetative and reproductive phases; growth and development; is therefore called an essential trace element or a micronutrient.

For dietary status, growth, development and health, optimal feeding procedures are needed for infants and young children. In order to meet the difference in dietary demands transition foods need to be included in the diet. Diet diversity refers to all food groups being included in the diet. To assess food intake, a food intake questionnaire and a dietary recall method lasting 24 hours were used. Using the seven food groups, diet variety was calculated. ANOVA was used to compare means. Sixty infants and young children have been engaged in these studies.

Goat is universally recognized as "Poor man’s cow’’. It is a very versatile animal because of short generation interval, browsing habit, low investment, and high rate of prolificacy. Milk is the complete and first food of mammals which provides energy and nutrients needed for the proper growth and development. Goat milk is superior in nutrients and is having better digestibility, alkalinity, buffering capacity and certain therapeutic values. During the entire study the fresh milk samples of Pantja goats according to stage of lactation were analyzed for minerals content.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) from the small phylum Glomeromycota forms symbiotic association with the roots of higher plants. The AMF appears to benefit by improving the uptake of phosphate and other nutrients from soil and also increases the disease tolerance to the host plant. Mycorrhizal plants produce certain substances that have been indicated as copartners in resistance to the attack of root pathogens.
