Cultural Requirements

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica), a popular vegetable crop, has one of the most exacting climatic and cultural requirements, which limit its commercial production to a few favored locations. A field experiment was conducted at Mizoram University, Tanhril, Mizoram during winter of 2013/2014 to find out the effect of time of sowing on plant performance and yield of broccoli. Six sowing time was done viz. 17 October (T1), 24 October (T2), 31 October (T3), 7 November (T4), 14 November (T5) and 21 November (T6) with plant spacing of 45cm x 45cm. Yield and yield contributing characters were significantly influenced by the planting time. Highest average weight of marketable curd per plant (199.20 g) was obtained from T2, whereas lowest average weight obtained from T6 (75 g). The influence of planting time also showed significant difference on the calculated yield (tonnes per hectare) of broccoli, in which T2 showed highest marketable yield of 9.83 t/ha.

Thảm thực vật vùng đất cát nôi đồng ngập nước theo mùa tại huyện Phong Điền tỉnh Thừa Thiên Huế dựa vào cấu trúc tổ thành được phân thành 4 quần xã đó là: Quần xã cỏ ẩm nằm ven các trằm; Quần xã cây bụi trên vùng cát trũng; Quần xã Tràm trên vùng ngập nước thường xuyên và định kỳ; Quần xã cây gỗ lớn trên đầm lầy than bùn.Mỗi một quần xã đặc trưng bởi một nhóm loài thực vật ưu thế khác nhau, cấu trúc khác nhau đặc thù cho dạng lập địa tạo nên sự đa dạng về thực vật vùng cát nói chung, và vùng đất cát nội đồng ngập nước nói riêng. Những kết quả đã đạt được là cơ sở dữ liệu về thực vật vùng cát, giúp cho công tác bảo tồn, phục hồi hệ sinh thái vùng cát sau này.Plants of submerged inner sandy area (coastal sandy and sandune areas) is divided 4 flora communities, they are Moist grasslands on the edge of the lake; Shrub community in low-lying inner sandy area; Melaleuca community on submerged inner sandy area and sandy seasonally inundated; Wood community on peat swamp, submerged inner sandy area. Site condition based causes flora communities with corresponding of species composition and ecological structures, make up the diversity of the submerged inner sandy flora system. These results contributed a database on the sandy plants for conservation, ecological based restoration in study sites.

Oriented Approach

The Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers Company Ltd (GNFC), a giant fertilizers and chemicals complex, owns the world's largest single stream ammonia and urea plants, and is located in the predominantly backward area of Bharuch District in Gujarat State, India. The company began commercial production on 1st July 1982. GNFC's performance as regards both capacity utilization and pollution control, has been good right from commissioning. Concerning pollution control, the company has adopted a productivity oriented approach which is entirely different from the usual ‘policeman' approach or ‘problem' approach. The company decided to find applications for each of the pollutants. Regarding liquid effluents, the company has successfully concluded a number of research and development projects as a result of which nearly 71% of the total volume of liquid effluent is put to productive use. This has helped the company to reduce the fresh water intake by about 18,000 m3/day (much more than the total volume of fresh water required by the whole of Bharuch city!). The remaining volume (29%) leaving GNFC premises completely conforms to irrigation standards and has been utilized by farmers for the last 5 years. This has resulted in a ‘mini green revolution' in the water-scarce area of Bharuch District. Since the entire effluent is either being recycled within the company or being used by farmers, the company has reached a stage of ‘zero effluent'. The company has also saved more than US$ 500,000 to date, by properly managing liquid effluent.

Timely Reminder

AbstractIn the autumn of 2018, an outbreak of cryptosporidiosis affected adult employees from the same company in Western Norway. The organism wasCryptosporidium parvum, GP60 subtype IIaA14G1R1. All those infected had drunk from the same container of self-pressed apple juice. Incubation period (1 week) and clinical signs were similar among those infected, although some experienced a more prolonged duration of symptoms (up to 2–3 weeks) than others. The infections resulted after consumption from only one of 40 containers of juice and not from any of the other containers. It seems that althoughCryptosporidiumoocysts were detected in a sample from another container, the contamination did not affect the whole batch. This is perhaps indicative of a restricted contamination event, either from contaminated ground in the orchard, or during collection of the fruit, or during processing. Although outbreaks of food-borne cryptosporidiosis have previously been associated with consumption of contaminated apple juice, most of the more recent outbreaks of food-borne cryptosporidiosis have been associated with salad vegetables or herbs. This outbreak, the first outside USA reported to be associated with apple juice, is a timely reminder that such juice is a suitable transmission vehicle forCryptosporidiumoocysts, and that appropriate hygienic measures are essential in the production of such juice, including artisanal (non-commercial) production.
