(Department of Biochemistry & Biochemical Engineering Jacob Institute of Biotechnology and Bioengineering Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences Allahabad, 2019) KESHARWANI, KOMAL; Sushma, Dr. (Mrs.)
In the present study, the physiochemical changes by P. aeruginosa and glutathione under PEG (polyethylene glycol) induced stress were compared in two Vigna mungo varieties. Vigna mungo seeds were subjected to PEG solutions of two different concentration, 7% and 12%, glutathione solution of two different concentration, 50 ml L-1 and 100 ml L-1 and in combination with P. aeruginosa. Various physiological parameters, proline and chlorophyll content and various enzymatic antioxidants invertase, amylase, catalase, superoxide dimutase, glutathione reductase ascorbate peroxidase and non-enzymatic antioxidants GSH (reduced) and ascorbate were measured. Decrease in root length, fresh weight and dry weight was observed under different treatments but P. aeruginosa enhanced the root length, fresh and dry weight. Relative water content, chlorophyll, invertase, amylase, catalase decreased under PEG-6000, but showed enhancement under P. aeruginosa and where as decreased under glutathione. PEG stress reduced ascorbate content while glutathione and P. aeruginosa showed similar effect as control while GSH suddenly increase in both varities. Overall IPU2-43 showed better result than Shekhar-2 in all the parameters studied.

(DEPT. OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & NRM, COLLEGE OF FORESTRY SAM HIGGINBOTTOM UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, TECHNOLOGY & SCIENCES, PRAYAGRAJ (U.P.) 211007, 2019) GUPTA, ADESH; Paliwal, Dr. H. B.
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season 2018-2019 at the Forest Nursery and Research Centre, College of Forestry, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj study the “Effect on temperature and humidity and different sowing dates at growth and yield of safflower in Prayagraj condition”. In India, amid 2018-2019 the world, safflower is grown in 7,52,000 ha with a total production of 6,46,000 tons. India, Kazakhstan, Argentina, the United States and Mexico are leading producers of safflower grown for both seed and oil. India ranks first in Area (40%) and Production (29%) of the safflower grown across the world. In horticulture, heat units are regularly communicated as developing degree days (GDD). Now and then developing degree days are called developing degree units (GDU), however the two terms are indistinguishable. Ascertaining GDD for a particular day utilizes a basic equation that includes subtracting a base or limit temperature from the normal temperature through the afternoon. The base temperature is the limit temperature for which plant development starts. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 6.0), low in organic carbon (0.35%), available N (230 kg ha-1), available P (20 kg ha-1) and available K (189 kg ha-1). Experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three levels of Nitrogen [(100 kg ha-1), (120 kg ha-1) and (140kg ha-1)] and three levels of Sulphur (20 kg ha-1), (30 kg ha-1) and (40 kg ha-1). There were Nine treatments each replicated three. The result showed that growth attributes viz., Plant height (72.36cm) at 120 DAS, flowering (41.13) at 90 DAS and pod per plant (39.60g) at 90 DAS whereas yield attributes and yield viz., Seed Germination (178.33), Test Weight (53.13), Pod per plant (39.600) and grain yield (34.76q/ha) was recorded highest with the application of 140 kg/ha and 40 kg/ha.

“FORECAST OF DROUGHT IN BUNDELKHAND REGION USING THE STANDARDIZED PRECIPITATION INDEX (SPI) AND ARIMA MODEL”
(DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES & NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COLLEGE OF FORESTRY SAM HIGGINBOTTOM UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, TECHNOLOGY & SCIENCES PRAYAGRAJ 211007., 2019) IKSHA; Mishra, Dr. Ekta P.
The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was use to quantify the classification of drought in Bundelkhand Region ( Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh India). The autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models were developed to fit and forecast the SPI series. Most of the selected ARIMA models are seasonal models (SARIMA). The ARIMA models demonstrate better capability in short-term forecasting. The absolute percentage errors (APE) between the actual SPIs and the predicted ones for 12-month lead-time are all less on 1-month ahead forecasting. The correlation coefficients between the actual data and the predicted ones are all larger on 12-month lead-time forecasting .Moreover, in this study, the ARIMA models also demonstrate a better forecasting power even on 6 month leading values for SPI9, SPI12, and SPI24. The study also shows that the ARIMA models have a good forecasting capability for the SPI series with longer time scales. The APEs are less for higher SPI series (SPI12 and SPI24). The best model we get from ARIMA was SPI24. It was showing good results and ther for can be considered for further forecasting of drought. To a given lead-time, the correlation coefficient gradually increases with the time scale effectively reduces the noise of the SPI series. Therefore, the selected best ARIMA models developed from the SPI time series can be used for drought forecasting in Bundelkhand.

PARAMETERIZATION OF AQUACROP MODEL FOR IRRIGATION SCHEDULING OF WHEAT CROP IN PRAYAGRAJ REGION OF UTTAR PRADESH
(DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES & NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COLLEGE OF FORESTRY SAM HIGGINBOTTOM UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, TECHNOLOGY & SCIENCES PRAYAGRAJ 211007, 2019) MOBEEN, SHAIK; Gautam, Dr. Shweta
A field experiment was conducted at College of Forestry, SHUATS (U.P) during Rabi 2018-2019 to study the “Parameterization of Aquacrop model for irrigation scheduling of wheat crop in Prayagraj region of Uttar Pradesh”. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with 15 treatments (three date of sowing and five irrigation levels) and three replications. The treatments comprises of I1– CRI, I2- CRI +Tillering, I3- CRI + Tillering +Jointing, I4- CRI +Tillering +Jointing +Flowering, I5- CRI +Tillering +Jointing +Flowering +Maturity. The effect of sowing time (November-17, December-02 and December-17) on wheat were assessed on grain yield and biomass yield along with number of tillers, number of leaves, 1000-grain weight and plant height. The experimental soil was sandy loam in texture, alkaline in reaction and non-saline, low in available nitrogen, high in available phosphorous and potassium and medium in organic carbon content. Results shows that wheat variety "PBW 502" produced higher grain yield for early date of sowing as compared to other two date of sowings. When sown on November-17 followed by December-02 and in December-17 with irrigation on CRI, tillering, jointing, anthesis and dough stage (I5) is recommended to obtain higher yield of wheat. In case of irrigation, I5 (on CRI, tillering, jointing, anthesis and dough stage) obtained higher grain yield than first irrigation treatment I1 (CRI). AquaCrop model (v 6.0) adequately simulated the wheat yield, biomass yield of wheat crop. The simulation study shows a clear decreasing trend for wheat yield under late sowing and reducing the irrigation amount of water and show very close and similar for wheat yield.

A study on butterfly diversity was carried out in Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh, India. After selected three sites in the study area for the surveyed of butterflies namely Company Bagh, SHUATS campus and Kushro Bagh, a total of 316 individuals and 21 species of butterfly belong to 4 families were recorded during the study period. Nymphalidae was the richest family that comprised (9 and 43%) of the total species of butterfly recorded in the study area followed by Pieridae (6 and 29%), Papilionidae and Lycaenidae families were the lowest (3 and 14%) each respectively. Maximum number of butterflies were observed in Company Bagh (114) followed by SHUATS campus (107) and minimum in Kushro Bagh (95) respectively. Among the species of butterfly observed in the study area, 4 of them were abundantly and 2 species were common while 8 numbers of the species of butterfly were less common. In addition 7 numbers of the species of butterfly were occasionally. The Simpson Index and Simpson Index of Diversity was found highest in Company Bagh (0.2 and 0.8) followed by SHUATS campus (0.3 and 0.7) and Kushro Bagh (0.4 and 0.6) respectively. The study area is rich in butterfly diversity and also, the studies equally revealed baseline information and knowledge regarding the local species of butterfly that can helps conservationist and policy makers for the conservation of butterflies from environmental changes in order to provide adequate pollination to the available plants, more especially food crops and related for increasing their yield in the area. Further research could be conducted to obtain more details and documentation on butterfly diversity for the conservation and butterfly parks.
