Environmental contamination and the excessive use of inorganic fertilizers resulting in stagnant yields of field crops which necessitate the utilization of combined fertilization approach under changing climatic conditions. Current study was aimed to clarify the influence of several fertilizer sources (chemical, organic, organomineral fertilizers) on yield and quality of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). The results revealed that the fertilizer sources significantly affected the yield of coriander cultivars. The absence of “Year x Variety x Fertilizer Type” interactions for any of the noted parameters signaled that the detected “Variety x Fertilizer Type” interactions were constant regardless of the year factor. The recorded values of traits according to fertilizer sources different for the plant height from 61.85 to 69.67 cm, number of branches from 5.98 to 7.71 (piece/plant), number of umbels per the main umbel from 5.62 to 7.18 pieces, seed yield from 1.06 to 1.66 t/ha, the biological yield from 4.29 to 5.70 t ha−1, harvest index from 25.29 to 29.41%, essential oil ratio from 0.29 to 0.33%, and essential oil yield from 3.1 to 5.6 L ha−1. Erbaa variety was observed to be superior over the rest of the varieties producing the maximum values of 6.5 L ha−1 of essential oil, 0.36% essential oil content, 30.9% harvest index, 1.81 t/ha seed yield, and 5.9 t ha−1 biological yield with the treatment of chemical fertilizers.

Quantification of Avoidable Yield Losses in OilseedBrassicaCaused by Insect PestsA six year field study was conducted from 2001-2002 to 2006-2007 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India to study the losses in seed yield of differentBrassicaspecies (B. juncea, B. napus, B. carinata, B. rapaandEruca sativa) by the infestation of insect pests. The experiment was conducted in two different sets viz. protected/sprayed and unprotected, in a randomized block design, with three replications. Data on the infestation of insect pests, and seed yield were recorded at weekly intervals and at harvest, respectively. The loss in seed yield, due to mustard aphid and cabbage caterpillar, varied from 6.5 to 26.4 per cent.E. sativasuffered the least loss in seed yield and harboured the minimum population of mustard aphid (2.1 aphids/plant) and cabbage caterpillar (2.4 larvae/plant). On the other hand,B. carinatawas highly susceptible to the cabbage caterpillar (26.2 larvae/plant) and suffered the maximum yield loss (26.4%).

The present investigation was carried out at the Research Fields, ICAR-Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The material for present study consisted of twenty newly developed mono and multi headed restorer lines including CMS lines. The data for agronomic and yield traits i.e. days to 50% flowering, days to physiological maturity, plant height, head diameter, volume weight, 100 seed weight, seed yield per plant oil content and oil yield was recorded. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the genotypes for almost all characters which favour the selection. Associations among characters especially indicated that among the seven traits studied, seed yield per plant had a highly significant positive association with head diameter and significant negative correlation with days to 50% flowering and days to maturity. The genotypes, COSF-6B, COSF-7B, RGP-11-P1-S2, RGP-58-P4-S1-1 and RGP-46-P3 were identified as the most important genotypes for different traits and should be utilized in heterosis breeding programme to realize high heterosis for yield and yield contributing traits.

ABSTRAKKeadaan latar belakang ekonomi para wali santri rata-rata menengah kebawah sehingga tidak semua santri mampu membayar iuran bulanan yang dibebankan oleh pengurus yayasan. Apalagi pada saat pandemi seperti sekarang, banyak wali santri yang tidak ada pekerjaan sama sekali. Sehingga, pengurus Yayasan Daarul Hufadz Al-Amiin tidak bisa lagi memberikan tunjangan kepada para guru. Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut, kami ingin memberikan pelatihan budidaya cacing tanah kepada pengurus Yayasan Daarul Hufadz Al-Amiin, agar lembaga tahfizdul qur’an ini menjadi lembaga yang mandiri dari segi ekonomi. Di sisi lain, lokasi Yayasan Daarul Hufadz Al-Amiin ini berada tidak jauh dari pasar tradisional kecamatan pringgarata, sehingga banyak limbah sayuran yang bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan untuk budidaya cacing tanah. Selain itu, kotoran ayam petelur dari pengusaha ayam petelur di sekitar Yayasan Daarul Hufadz Al-Amiin bisa digunakan sebagai bahan pakan cacing tanah. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan mulai dari kegiatan pelatihan yang diisi dengan pemberian materi dan praktek, pendampingan, monitoring dan evaluasi. Adapun peserta pelatihan yaitu semua pengurus Yayasan Daarul Hufadz Al-Amin dan para guru, para peserta sangat antusias dalam mengikuti pelatihan karena bagi mereka pelatihan budidaya cacing tanah ini adalah hal yang baru. Adapun beberapa materi pelatihan yaitu mulai dari pembuatan media, pemberian pakan, perawatan, hingga tehnik memanen. Pelatihan ini diakhiri dengan kegiatan pemberian bibit cacing tanah lumbrecus rubelus dari pihak pelaksana PKM kepada pengurus yayasan Daarul Hufadz Al-Amin sebagai modal awal untuk memulai usaha budidaya cacing tanah. Berdasarkan data hasil kegiatan PKM yang telah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa keterampilan berbudidaya cacing tanah sudah dilakukan dan pihak mitra mampu melaksanakan kegiatan tersebut meliputi persiapan media, pembuatan pakan, perawatan. Selain itu, hampir semua pengurus dari pihak mitra menyatakan bahwa pelatihan budidaya cacing tanah ini bermanfaat. Kata kunci: budidaya; cacing tanah; pandemic covid-19; usaha alternatif. ABSTRACTThe state of the economic background of the guardians of the students is on average lower middle so that not all students can afford to pay monthly dues charged by the board of the foundation. No longer at a pandemic time like now, many parents have no job at all. Thus, the board of Daarul Hufadz Al-Amiin Foundation can no longer provide benefits to teachers. therefore, we want to provide training on the cultivation of earthworms to the board of Daarul Hufadz Al-Amiin Foundation, so that this qur'an tahfizdul institution becomes an independent institution in terms of economy. On the other hand, the location of Daarul Hufadz Al-Amiin Foundation is located not far from the traditional market of pringgarata subdistrict, so that a lot of vegetable waste can be used as an ingredient for the cultivation of earthworms. In addition, laying chicken manure from laying hen entrepreneurs around the Daarul Hufadz Al-Amiin Foundation can be used as feed material for earthworms. This devotional activity is carried out starting from training activities filled with materials and practices, mentoring, monitoring and evaluation. The participants of the training are all administrators of Daarul Hufadz Al-Amin Foundation and teachers, the participants are very enthusiastic in participating in the training because for them this earthworm cultivation training is a new thing. The training materials are ranging from media making, feeding, care, to harvesting techniques. This training ended with the activity of giving earthworm seeds lumbrecus rubelus from the implementing party of PKM to the board of the foundation Daarul Hufadz Al-Amin as the initial capital to start a business of earthworm cultivation. Based on the data of pkm activities that have been done can be concluded that the skills of earthworm cultivation has been done and the partners are able to carry out such activities including media preparation, feed making, maintenance. In addition, almost all administrators from the partner side stated that this earthworm cultivation training is useful. Keywords: cultivation; earthworms; pandemic covid-19; alternative business.

Oregano (Poliomintha longiflora) essential oil (Ooil) is a product of high commercial value and many applications, including chemotherapy. Aiming to achieve the best use of this resource, the present study focuses on the characterization of separated fractions of Ooil by fractional vacuum distillation at low pressure. Four fractions (F1–F4) and undistilled oil (Unoil) were separated from Ooil and analyzed for their chemical composition and biological activities, such as antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry shows differences in the composition among the fractions and Ooil. The amount of monoterpenes oxygenated (MO), sesquiterpenes hydrocarbon (SeH) and monoterpenes hydrocarbon (MH) varied between the fractions in ranges of 1.51–68.08, 3.31–25.12 and 1.91–97.75%, respectively. The major concentrations of MO and SeH were observed in F4 and Unoil. On the other hand, the highest concentrations of MH were found in F1 and F2, while the lowest were in F4 and Unoil. These results were correlated with the biological activity. Free-radical scavenging activity varied among fractions, with F4 and Unoil showing the highest activity. The antimicrobial test showed that F4 and Unoil had the highest activity in almost all cases. The correlation between the variables studied in the different fractions allows the definition of the particular properties for each one of them.

A field study conducted for two years (2002–04) at New Delhi showed that the seed yield (1.80 t ha −1 ) of rocket salad ( Eruca sativa Mill.) obtained by applying 5 t ha −1 pressmud compost based on distillery effluent + half the recommended dose of NPKS (recommended dose: 60 kg N, 13 kg P, 25 kg K and 20 kg S ha −1 ) was on par with the seed yield (1.69 t ha −1 ) recorded with the recommended dose of NPKS. However, the seed yield recorded with the former treatment significantly exceeded that obtained with 5 t ha −1 of a 1:1 mixture of fly ash and distillery effluent + half the recommended dose of NPKS (by 30.4%) or 5 t ha −1 of dry Jatropha curcas leaves + ½ NPKS (by 24.1%). On average, distillery effluent-based pressmud compost + ½ NPKS induced a perceptible increase in the soil-available NPK, recorded after the harvest of rocket salad, compared to the initial fertility status. The uptake of NPKS in the seed and stover of rocket salad was the highest after the application of pressmud compost, closely followed by the recommended dose of NPKS, and the lowest in the control. The residual effect of treatments given to rocket salad was significant on the fodder yield of succeeding sorghum [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. The fodder yield recorded with pressmud compost + ½ NPKS was significantly higher than the other treatments. The application of pressmud compost alone was also significantly superior to the same rate of fly ash + effluent mixture or dry Jatropha leaves with respect to the seed yield of rocket salad, residual fertility after the harvest of rocket salad and the fodder yield of succeeding sorghum.

The six generations (P<sub>1</sub>, P<sub>2</sub>, F<sub>1</sub>, F<sub>2</sub>, BC<sub>1</sub> and BC<sub>2</sub>) of twelve cross combinations of pigeonpea (<italic>Cajanus cajan</italic> L.) were studied during 2003-2006 for days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per pod, 100-seed weight, harvest index and seed yield per plant. The means of six generations were subjected to detect main gene effects and interactions. The estimates of six parameter model revealed that both additive and dominant gene effects were important in all the crosses for almost all the traits. However, the relative contribution of dominant gene effects was much higher than additive gene effects for plant height, pods per plant and seed yield per plant. Higher frequency of duplicate type of epistasis also confirms the prevalence of dominance gene effects for above traits except for seed yield per plant.
