    Isolation and characterization of zoonotic agents from field murids
    (CCSHAU, 2017) Anju; Ravikant
    Studies on the population dynamics of murids in vegetables field (bottlegourd and bittergourd) revealed that murids population was highest in bottlegourd during harvesting season (29.81%) followed by bittergourd harvesting (27.01%), bottlegourd sowing (22.77%) respectively in December, 2016. In bittergourd sowing least population (20.37%) was observed in September, 2016. Rattus rattus was the preponderant species in both crops followed by Mus musculus, Tatera indica respectively. Trap index was recorded highest in 3rd week (4.32) followed by 2nd week (3.96) and 4th week (3.55) during harvesting of bittergourd while in case of bottlegourd harvesting trap index in 3rd week (5.56) which was followed by 2nd week (4.01) and 4th week (3.55) in December, 2016. Total eight bacterial agents were isolates from the field rodent i.e. R. rattus, M. musculus and T. indica. On the basis of secondary biochemical tests, Salmonella, Pseudomonas and Yersinia were more prevalent in murid species, captured from vegetables field. For determination of antimicrobial resistance, disc diffusion test was performed. The bacterial isolates were analyzed for antimicrobial susceptibility to thirty six antibiotics. RRA3 was found multidrug resistance (MDR) towards Cefixime, Cefpodoxime, Augmentin, Cefadroxil, Ceftriaxone, Cefpirome and Cefepime. The bacterial isolate RRA4 was found MDR against Cefepime and Ceftriaxone. The bacterial isolate RRA5 was found MDR against Cefixime, Cefpodoxime, Ceftriaxone, Rifampicin, Cefuroxime and Cefepime. Four bacterial isolates from field murids were found multi drug resistant. Hence, the need of hour is to manage them in judicious manner.

    Effect of long-term zero tillage in wheat on physical quality indices of different textured soils and rice yield under ricewheat cropping system
    (CCSHAU, 2016) Anju; Dahiya, Rita
    The rice–wheat cropping system is one of the most prevalent cropping systems in the Indo- Gangetic Plains (IGP) of India. Intensive cultivation resulted in slowdown in productivity of rice-wheat crops due to deterioration of the soil physical condition. Keeping in view the importance of the system for food security of the country, experiments were carried out at farmers’ field during 2015-16 to investigate the effect of zero tillage on physical fertility of texturally different soils under rice-wheat system of Haryana State. The long-term zero tillage (ZT) resulted in decrease in bulk density at 15-30 cm depth as compared to conventional tillage (CT). The adoption of ZT increased saturated hydraulic conductivity and soil organic carbon content over the conventional tillage. The continuous zero tillage for 20 years in wheat resulted in increase in SOC stock in 0-30 cm soil depth by 35.2, 27.6 and 17.6 % in sandy loam, loam and clay loam soils, respectively. Soil penetration resistance was lower under zero tillage as compared to conventional tillage reducing the effect of compact plough sole on root growth in 0-30 cm soil layer in rice-wheat growing areas. The zero tillage significantly increased aeration porosity of surface soil layer. The higher values of soil moisture at field capacity in zero tillage indicated a higher volume of medium-sized water-holding pores due to favourable conditions for enhanced aggregation. The effect was, however, more pronounced in clay loam followed by loam and sandy loam soils. The zero tillage resulted in higher least limiting water range in 0-15 cm and 15-30 cm soil depths in sandy loam, loam and clay loam soils. The practice of long-term zero tillage was found effective in increasing yield of wheat in fine textured soil as compared to coarse textured.
