Coriander is an important Spice crop grown throughout the world and botanically known as Coriandrum sativum Linn. belongs to the family Apiaceae. The experimental site was located at Main Experiment Station, Department of Vegetable Science, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Faizabad (U.P.). The eight treatments were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications. The experiment showed that Application of FYM 25 % (2.5 t ha-1) + Vermicompost 75 % (3.75 t ha-1) displayed better response to plant growth, yield and quality with their all attributes. On the basis of economic analysis Application of FYM @5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @1.5 Kg ha-1 given maximum cost: benefit ratio and found most feasible for cultivation of coriander.

Enzymes hold the future of biotech sector by contributing in research and industries. Enzymes obtained from microbes offer advantages over the enzymes obtained from plants and animals. Obtaining enzymes from plants and animal is a costly process while its easy to rear microbes in the artificial media under modifying physical and biochemical conditions and they show potential results. Since there is continuous need for finding new potential enzymes from microbe which offers immediate use in industries as well as in bioremediations. The spectrum of amylase application includes food, detergent, pharmaceutical, leather, textile, cosmetic, paper industries clinical, medical, analytical chemistry, distilling industries and bio-fuels industries. Keeping all these things in mind, the work was focused on finding enzymes from microbes with resistance towards pesticides, high salt concentrations, antibiotics and heavy metals for bioremediations and biofuel productions. Amylase produced by multiresistant microbes can be used for treatment of effluents with high salinity, pesticides contents and presence of heavy metals containing starch or cellulosic residues in pollution control mechanism.

The nanoparticles have enormous applications in every field of our life. Nanotechnologist Prof. Rameshwar Bhargava of USA motivated us in the area of medical nanotechnology. Authors have tried to unravel their application in pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industry especially as antimicrobial agent through synthesis, characterization, mechanism of action and formulations of various nanoparticles.

Mosquito borne diseases are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Personal protective measures (PPM) been advocated as an effective tool in protection from mosquito bite. There is paucity of information about the extent of use, cost, side effects and perception of people about personal protective measures against mosquitoes. A community based cross sectional study was conducted in Delhi using a pre tested semi structured questionnaire to assess the knowledge, usage, reasons for usage/non-usage including side effects and average monthly family expenditure on personal protective measures used. Statistical significance was determined using chi square or fisher’s exact test. Most common personal protective measure known to participants was coils followed by liquid vaporizers. A little less than two thirds of participants were using anyone PPM. Liquid vaporizers were most commonly used method. Most common perceived side effect was headache followed by cough, sore throat, allergy and eye irritation. It is concluded that further research is needed to develop safe, effective, convenient to use and cheap personal protective measures.

This book gives a good understanding of the progress being made in controlled radical polymerization process. The basic principle of controlled/living radical polymerization is fundamental to the creation of new radical polymerization techniques including atom transfer radical, and reversible addition-fragmentation transfer polymerization. These discoveries bring new life to the field of free radical polymerization; indeed, an abundance of polymer materials with different topologies have been prepared. I hope that this Special Topic on “Functional Controlled/Living Radical Polymers: Synthesis, Kinetics and Physico-chemical Properties” will cultivate new ideas and catalyze discoveries in every reader’s laboratory. This book is aimed to provide information related to the newest controlled radical polymerization methodology, ATRP and RAFT, their required components and their advantages and necessities. I demonstrates that how simple molecule selectively arrange as different topology like linear, star, multi arm polymers containing functional groups for various applications.

The book “Service Quality in Retail Banking in Jharkhand state” is the pilot research of academic project which explains the identification and review of the key dimensions of service quality in retail banking and to find out ways for the improvement of service quality of these banks. It consists of brief description of key dimensions of banking services which measures the quality of services provided by major commercial banks in Jharkhand state.

Over the last few decades, different forms of linkages which connect media to their source, i.e., society and other institutions have been brought to light: what do the media actually do for society and their clients and audiences ? What makes people change their behaviour, attitude and ways of life? We usually speak of “knowledge” as the outcome of a communication or learning process. But the direct product of the media is not knowledge itself but “massages” with a potential for “knowledge-forming”. This book is an attempt to respond to all these enquiries. An attempt has been made to analyse and elaborate upon the relationship between society, media, communication and development looking from developing nations’ communication needs and resources in general and Indian perspective in particular. This work provides a valuable insight into social/development communication theory and practice with a distinct focus on India which may be of immense use to students and researchers in the relevant fields.

Trees outside forests - i.e. trees available on agricultural land, along road, railways, canals, ponds, orchards, parks, gardens and homestead plays many role like forests. They make an essential contribution to sustainable agriculture, food security and rural household economies. They provide many products and services similar to forests. They protect crops and the soil against water and wind erosion, thus combating drought and desertification and protecting water resources. Since they are large pools of carbon as well as potential carbon sinks and sources to the atmosphere. The impact of Trees Outside Forests on reducing deforestation, stabilizing soils and ecosystems and sequestering carbon will become increasingly meaningful.TOF can be estimated by Remote sensing and Geo-Statistical technique with the supplement of field survey.

Mango (Mangifera indica Linnaeus) is known as king of fruits in India and is considered as one of the most delicious, exotic, nutritious and attractive fruit. This fruit is recognized as a good source of ?-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, nutritive minerals, digestive sugars and trace elements. However, insect pest problem is one of the major limiting factors in mango production. In the above perspective, this book comprehends the growth, development, reproduction and spatial distribution pattern of different life stages to generate basic data helpful in understanding the population dynamics and management of mango fruit flies (Bactrocera spp., Diptera:Tephritidae).

Strawberry is one of the most delicious and refreshing soft fruit of the world. It is mainly grown in temperate climate but varieties are available which can successfully be cultivated in subtropical or even in tropical climate as well. Growth, yield and quality of strawberry fruits are highly influenced by the application of different bio-fertilizers in combination with inorganic fertilizers. Thereby, the present research has been conducted to identify the suitable combination of inorganic and bio-fertilizers for getting higher yield of quality fruit as well as their longer storage life. The results of the present study revealed that the plant growth, yield and fruit quality parameters significantly increased with the application of (NPK+ Azotobacter+ PSB). The study also exposed that the availability of soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in strawberry crop ecosystem improved with the application of (NPK+ Azotobacter + PSB). While the minimum physiological losses and minimum spoilage losses of fruit were recorded with the inoculation of bio-fertilizers (Azotobacter+ PSB) only. We hope both researchers and growers would obviously be benefitted from the findings of this study.
