    Study of nutrient dynamics of water and growth parameters of Labeo rohita grown in aquaponic system with selected medicinal plants
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2020-12) Bisht, Diksha; Tiwari, Hema
    The present research was done to study nutrient dynamics of water and growth parameters of Labeo rohita grown in aquaponic system with selected medicinal plants. The small plants, Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), Aloe vera and Mint (Mentha spicata) and fingerlings of Rohu (Labeo rohita) was collected from the hatchery of College of Fisheries, Pantnagar. Small plants of was grown in polyhouse in a FRP rectangular size trough of size of 176 × 44 × 17 cm. The trough was filled with stone gravels of size 8 – 20 mm. The average length and weight of rohu fingerlings were 6±1cm and 4±0.5g. The present study was carried out in rectangular cement tank filled with 8000 litre water and stocked with 400 numbers of fingerlings in each tank designated as T1 (Tulsi), T2 (Mint) and T3 (Aloe vera) respectively. A control without any plant but 400 rohu fingerlings was run simultaneously for comparison. Experiment was run with three replications for a duration of 6 months from October 2019 to march 2020. All water quality parameters were analysed weekly. Monthly sampling of length and weight of fishes was done. Initial and final biomassLwere taken at starting and ending point of an experiment. The fingerlings of different groups were fed with 1% respective medicinal plant extract incorporated floating commercial 28% protein based pelleted feed prepared by using different ingredients viz. groundnut oil cake, rice bran, maize, fish meal etc.. Every day 2.5% i.e 200L of water from fish tank removed and given to the plants in aquaponic unit. Approximately half an hour of time will be taken by each trough. The result of the present study showed that aquaponic system having integration with medicinal plants are capable of utilizing waste of one system for another biological system. Aquaponics with Aloe vera showed better growth of Rohu along with better productivity of Aloe vera as compared to other treatment tanks. Aquaponics with Tulsi showed better BCR as compared to other treatment tanks.

    Current status of boutiques in Dehradun and development of garment designs based on their product line
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2020-12) Bisht, Diksha; Shahnaz Jahan
    A boutique is a specialty store with a special interest customer. Since, 1960s anyone opening a shop dealing with women's wear has called it a boutique. But the closest approximation to the original definition is- an independently owned small fashion store selling original clothes and or accessories not available in the mass market. They rely on both garments manufactured in the own firm and ready to wear manufacturers but they do not purchase mass-produced and may have customized clothes. The present study was planned to help the proprietors of boutiques/ those willing to start their own enterprise or planning to work for a boutique. It will also provide different designs to break the monotony of the designs available in the present boutiques. It was done in two phases- survey, designing and construction of garments. Dehradun was purposively selected as the locale because of its easy accessibility by the researcher and being the largest, most populous and capital city of Uttarakhand. The survey was conducted in 45 registered boutiques to collect the information regarding the set-up, functioning, different departments and product line of the boutiques in Dehradun. It included interaction between the researcher and the respondents i.e. proprietors and employees to gather information through a self structured questionnaire cum interview schedule. The information gathered from each boutique was organized, tabulated and statistically analyzed. Total five different outfits were selected for the construction based on the product line in the maximum number of boutiques which included gown, one-piece dress, ready to wear saree, kurta with pants and lehenga-choli. A total of 25 sketches were prepared by hand which included five different designs of each outfit. After evaluation, one design from each type of outfit which scored the highest score/ rank was selected for the construction. Color selection was done by developing each designs using CAD Adobe Illustrator in five different colors according to fashion color trend forecasting for Spring/ Summer 2020. Finally, five different outfits were stitched by the researcher to see the overall appearance, cost and ease in manufacturing of the garments. Assessment of constructed garments was done on different parameters using a five point scale by the proprietors of 30 boutiques of Dehradun.
