Abstract: The study was conducted for the management of ALB of carrot. Eight carrot genotypes were assessed against ALB incidence under RCBD with three replications. From infected fields diseased samples were collected and fungus Alternaria dauci was isolated by using PDA media.  By inoculation in healthy crop disease was established. Field screening experiment was performed to evaluate their resistance against A. dauci. These genotypes were checked based on disease incidence. The results of screening trials concluded that G5 and G8 showed resistant response while G2, G4 and G7 showed moderately resistant response. G1 and G6 showed moderately susceptible response. The G3 showed susceptible response. For the chemical management of Alternaria blight of carrot, four chemicals, were applied at their standard doses in the field on the standing carrot crop. The results revealed that the Equus reduced the incidence of the disease more than other groups of chemicals. After this Chisel followed by champ, and Cuprofix dispress showed less incidence of A. dauci. The disease incidence was higher without application of chemicals.

Abstract: A ventilator is a device that provides cool air by moving the air in or out of the lungs, inhaling a patient who is not fit to smell, or breathing properly. In this paper, a resistive chest belt sensor-based mechanical ventilator is designed to provide the COVID-19 patient with the volume of air you need to deliver with the expansion of the patient's chest in need of more air. The resistive band sensor senses the expansion of the patient's chest and controls the solenoid valve attached to the oxygen compressor. The function of the respirator is tested with the MATLAB / Simulink tool with the help of a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) Controller and a promising result obtained.

Abstract: Potato (Streptomyces scabies) is thought to be a common and economically important disease of potato worldwide. It is most important kitchen item which is cooked as vegetable. Potato crop is affected by so many diseases, but bacterial diseases are more common. In this context an environment friendly approach of using green synthesis nanoparticles to manage this pathogen was used. In this study, disease causing bacteria was isolated from infected potatoes. Bacteria was purified and identified under microscope on the base on morphological characteristics. In the context of disease management, the pathogen was treated with different green synthesis nanoparticles. Common scab of potato produced by Streptomyces scabies is among one of the destructive diseases of potato in Pakistan. The market value and quality of potatoes are reduced by this disease. The current study was conducted out to evaluate the effectiveness of different nano particles and green synthesized nano pesticides against Streptomyces scabies. In vitro experiments were laid down in complete randomized design (CRD) and the inhibition zone technique was used for the evaluation of nano pesticides. The results of the analysis of variance demonstrated a substantial difference between the different therapies for limiting bacterial growth against disease under disease pressure. After 72 hours, the mean comparisons revealed that single and consortium administration of nanoparticles and green manufactured nano insecticides inhibited S. scabies (mm). The combination of ZnO+Streptomycin injection (27.930 mm) followed by Streptomycin injection therapy exhibited the lowest mean comparison of bacterial growth (28.330 mm). The mean comparison showed that the maximum bacterial growth in control (38.330) at all concentrations of 25ppm, 50ppm and 75ppm respectively. The results were most effective at concentration at 75ppm for 72 hours. The combination of ZnO+Streptomycin injection was the most effective among all the treatments against S. scabies. It is concluded that the results of this research will help to combat the common scab disease of potatoes and enhance potato crop exports.

Abstract: In this study, the bioaccumulation levels of Lead (Pb) in selected organs (gill, liver and skin) of Clarias gariepinus in Odo-Ona River were determined. Water and fish samples were collected from five different sampling stations along the effluent discharge points of some strategically selected industries. The physicochemical analysis done on the water samples include; pH, Alkalinity, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). The digested water and fish samples were analyzed for Pb concentrations using the Perkin Elmer (A Analyst 200) version 6.0 Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). The water pH was moderately alkaline in the range of; 6.78 – 7.30. Alkalinity (95.29 + 11.2 – 120.80 + 12.0 mg/L) was considered high this was similar to high BOD levels with range of 442.50 + 9.6 to 581.5 + 5.6 mg/L. Pb concentration of the water ranged at 0.21 – 0.54 ppm. Trend in Pb uptake in the tissues according to this study is; Liver > Skin > Gill. The accumulation Factor also confirmed the trend. Generally, accumulations of trace elements are organ specific in Clarias gariepinus, however the level of Pb uptake is of a serious concern; knowing that it is a cumulative poison.

ABSTRACT:  Antibiotic resistance challenges the human scientific community to develop a master plan against pathetic eruption of bacterial pathogenic diseases. Microbes are regarded as, integral part of human society, especially bacteria, and play a key role in the food industry, textile industry and most of all pharmaceutical industries. With advancement in science, bacteria being ancient ancestors have developed smart mechanisms for their survival and escape from human interventions. History reveals, plant extracts and herbs were the first plan of action against bacterial strains, keeping the same mode of action, and the rise of antibiotics was enjoyed. After the development of synthetic antibiotics, blueprints of bacterial strains move towards progressing immunity or developing resistance against them.. Nanotechnology came into being and metallic nanoparticles despite nano size but extravagant properties devastate bacterial strains magnificently. Later, new approaches flourished with mingling antibiotics and nanoparticles as well as gene intonation along with the new scheme of mastery in microbiological assay. New strategies proved to be excellent bactericidal policy and no less than harbinger to treat diseases caused by virulent bacterial strains.

Abstract: Proper nitrogen application is important since optimal nitrogen levels vary for each species. Knowing the optimal concentration of nitrogen to use for a specific turfgrass could help reduce input in turf management. The purpose of this study was to assess the growth quality of local Bermuda grass cultivars grown under different nitrogen rates. . Higher rate of nitrogen application increased leaf length, shoot density, uniformity, colour, root and shoot fresh weight, root and shoot dry weight, root length and root volume. However, only specific rate of nitrogen application produce the best growth and quality of different types of local Bermuda grass cultivars. The result also showed that higher nitrogen rate (0.6 kg / 100m² / month) produce significantly different leaf length compared to others rates. It states that more nitrogen application in the field work produce longer leaf length with the highest data, 22.61 mm. Cultivar C has the longest internode length with 4.77 mm and significantly different compared to others cultivars. High density requires high nitrogen levels. From the experiment, 0.6 kg/100m²/month rate of nitrogen application produce the highest in Cultivar G. The result showed that cultivar D had the highest shoot dry weight with the mean of 0.66 g at 0.6 kg/100m²/month treatment. The result also showed that 0.6 kg/100m²/month rate of nitrogen produce significantly higher (1.87 g) means root dry weight compared to other rates. cultivar B (1.83 g), followed by cultivar D (1.82 G).
