  Abstract
  The silk industry in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) state is of very ancient origin. Due to natural irrigation system and highly salubrious climatic conditions is very suitable for bivoltine sericulture. Soil fertility is only one of a number of factors that determine the magnitude of crop yield. Low fertility results in decreased crop development and yield. The fertility of the soil can be managed by fertilization or by application of appropriate management approach. Plants sequester nutrients from atmosphere via photosynthesis and absorption by roots from soil, proportion of which in turn is taken up by animals and returned back to soil. The soil microbial biomass is the living portion of organic content in soil, maintenance of which facilitates retention of soil organic pool and nutrient availability. Increasing organic carbon in soil improves soil health, reduces soil erosion and degradation, improves surface water quality, and increases soil productivity. Indiscriminate use of inorganic fertilizers may have deteriorated the soil characteristics and its micro-flora. In view of above reasons, the output yields of mulberry are low in the traditional sericulture zones. Application of green technologies will pave way for sustenance of soil fertility and quality leaf production.

  Abstract
  Snakebite is a common acute medical emergency faced by tribal and rural populations in Mandsaur district with heavy rainfall and humid climate. Present study deals with 9 plant species belonging to 8 genera and 5 families, used traditionally by Bhil and Bhilala tribes and rural people of Mandsaur district (Madhya Pradesh) for the treatment of snakebite. Achyranthes aspera Linn is the most common plant of Madhya Pradesh and others parts of India used for the treatment of snakebite.

  Abstract
  The concept of pesticides is known from ancient time and available in literature around 1000 BCE. Homer referred to the use of sulfur to fumigate homes and by 900 C.E. Synthetic pesticides emerged between 1930 & 1940 as the result of research aimed at developing chemical weapons that were originally tested in insects. The fishes are directly exposed with water containing pesticides & other water soluble pollutants; in hepatocytes detoxification of pesticides takes place and being a neurotoxic nature of deltamethrin, braius, gills & liver tissues were selected to assess the deltamethrin toxicity.

  Abstract
  Intensity of Echinorhynchusveli infection is more common in the fish. This study was conducted in department of Zoology, Mar Ivanios College, Nalanchira, Thiruvananathapuram, Kerala, India during the period of 2011-13. The fish samples were collected regular sampling of fish from Veli on the south-west coast of Kerala. In this state the winter season includes the months of January and February, followed by summer months of March, April and May. The rest of the year is the rainy season, which is divided into the South West Monsoon (June, July, August and September) and the North East Monsoon (October, November and December). The samples were collected and studied. In male and female the intensity of infection was high during the Monsoon season in the two annual cycles and low in summer and SW monsoon respectively. Echinorhynchusveli infection is more common in the rainy season.

  Abstract
  In the present study, invitro anti-inflammatory activity was tested using coumarin compound of C.procumbens. Coumarins are a group of polyphenolic compounds isolated by TLC method from C.procumbens plant extract. In anti-inflammation study, the methanolic extract showed high percentage of inhibition observed in egg albumin denaturation studies was 78.8% of 0.8µg/ml concentration of coumarin compounds where as compared to standard drug Diclofenac sodium 74.8%. While, bovine serum albumin denaturation assay was 67.8 % of 0.8 µg/ml concentration when compared to other concentration of coumarin compounds. The results were discussed.

  Abstract
  Phenoloxidase (PO) is an enzyme that vitally protects arthropods both internally and externally. PO protects arthropods internally from invasions by infectious microorganisms, and protects them externally by catalyzing the sclerotization of an animal’s newly formed or repaired exoskeleton In the present study determine the phenoloxidase activity in hemolymph of pre, inter and post molting stages. The phenoloxidase activity was highest in pre-molting followed by inter-molting and post-molting. The stability of the POs was very different depending on a number of factors such as temperatures, pH, substrate used, ionic strength, buffer system, and time of incubation. The results of the present study concluded that pre-molting stage has greater activity of phenol oxidase in hemolymph.

  Abstract
  Celastrus paniculatus Willd., is one of the important medicinal plants belongs to the family Celastraceae. The present study is carried out for the first time to extract natural pigment from the arils, which are of orange-red in colour. The dye was extracted with hot water boiling method. The color of the extracted dye is orange. However, the orange color changes to yellowish-orange on cotton fabric when dyed .The dye potential of the extract was evaluated by dyeing on cotton fabrics without/with mordants such as ammonium ferric sulphate, ferrous sulphate, and copper sulphate. Shades of yellow color were observed when different mordants were used. Ferrous sulphate and copper sulphate have exhibited good coordination complexes with dye molecules that have reflected in imparting bright yellow shades to the fabric. The dyed cotton fabric was tested for color fastness by light, rub and wash fastness. The fabric showed no significant changes in rub and light fastness. However, studies have showed slight fading in color when subjected to wash fastness. The spectroscopic characteristics were determined with the help of UV-Vis and FTIR. UV-Vis spectral analysis of both mordanted and unmordanted dye have revealed varied peaks for the pigments indicating different binding affinity of mordants with chromphore groups within the pigments that give different shades. Analysis of dye by Infrared spectroscopic study has displayed the presence of carotenoid content at 940cm ˉ¹. The findings disclosed that the extraction of dye from aril of Celastrus paniculatus Willd. has promising prospect in textile industry.

  Abstract
  Of all the components, changes in protein play an important role in the seasonal variation of the chemical composition. In general, the water content of the tissue of bivalves usually gives an indication of the time of spawning. Variation in dry tissue weight of mollusc is always associated with biochemical components. Seasonal changes in the biochemical constituent are the characteristics of the seasonal activities of Molluscs. The present study was carried out on Octopus aegina to assess the seasonal variations in the protein content during January 2017 to December 2017. The total protein was estimated in muscle, gill, liver and gonad. The highest concentration of protein content was present in gonad followed by muscle, gill and liver. Among the seasonal changes, protein values were high during monsoon.

  Abstract
  India being an agricultural country, more than 80% population of rural India depends on agriculture and its associated activities for their living. To satisfy the requirements of Indian population, there is need for adequate crop yield. But due to urbanisation, pollution, biotic and abiotic stresses, unavailability of micronutrients etc. there are various constraints on seed germination and crop yield. The present review highlights the problems associated with germination and growth of plants. It discusses on seed priming technology that can synchronise seed germination and improve vigour, leading to better crop establishment and yield. Seed priming stimulates the processes involved in metabolism which prevents seed deterioration, breaks dormancy and induces systemic resistance against biotic and abiotic stresses. It explains physiological and biochemical changes occurring in seeds on priming. Extensive study using different seed priming techniques viz. hydro-priming, halo-priming, osmo-priming, matrix priming, osmohardening, on-farm priming, hormone priming, nutripriming, biopriming nanoparticle priming etc. has been carried out. Studying the use of different techniques and their need put an insight in the new research area of bionanoseed priming produced by amalgamating nanofertilisers and plant growth promoting rhizobacterias, to improve the productivity of crops.
