The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of off season soil management practices on yield and quality of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) cultivars. The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design with ten treatments in three replications consisted of five off-season land management treatments viz., fallow (S1), summer ploughing 2 times (S2), summer ploughing 1 time (S3), solarization with transparent polyethylene film of 0.05 mm thick for 40 days (S4) and black polyethylene film for 40 days (S5). It was tested with two popular cultivars viz., Curcuma longa -1 CL-1 (V1) and Curcuma longa-2 CL-2 (V2), collected from Erode and Chidambaram. Various yield components were recorded at the time of harvest and were analysed. The yield attributing characters viz., number, length, girth and weight of mother, primary and secondary rhizomes were recorded. The treatment where solarization with transparent polyethylene film of 0.05 mm thick was tested recorded the highest yield and yield attributing characters when compared to other treatments. The same treatment also exhibited the highest fresh rhizome yield per plant, curing percentage and cured rhizome yield. The quality parameters like curcumin, oleoresin and essential oil content were also showed superior performance in the treatment where solarization with transparent polyethylene film of 0.05 mm thick was applied.

The objective of the present study was to develop quality parameters to evaluate and standardize the polyherbal formulation and also to study the eight crude drugs viz. Curcuma longa - rhizome (Manjal), Salacia oblonga- root bark (Ekanayakam), Emblica officinalis- pericarp (Nellika), Strychnos potatorum - seed (Thettanparal), Ixora coccinea - root (Chethi), Vettiveria zizanioides - root (Ramacham), Aerva lanata - root (Cherula) and Symplocos racemosa - bark (Pachotti).The studies included physic-chemical parameters, HPTLC studies, heavy metal analysis and standardization of formulation using chemical markers. Antimicrobial activity of different fractions of kashayam was studied and found to be highest for ethanolic extract of kashayam. The pharmacognostical studies include microscopical, macroscopical examinations, ash values and extractive values, mineral elemental analysis, fluorescence analysis and FTIR analysis.

One of rational ways of obtaining high-protein feed with the use of soya is input into their composition of mineral substances which help to increase the amount of animal production. The purpose of the research was to identify the regularities of the process of obtaining soya and mineral additive. The technological scheme of preparation line of the soya and mineral additive had been proposed. The regularities of the process of obtaining soya and mineral composition on the sample layout press-extruder had been found. The mathematical models in the form of adequate equations of regression to describe the extrusion process soya mineral feed additives with the help of press-extruder of the screw type had been experimentally obtained. The optimal values of constructive-regime parameters under which is provided a mixture of mineral salt solution and soya with desired quality parameters and minimum energy consumption had been carried out.

Abstract Using of natural plants as immunostimulant in fish is more useful than antibacterial drugs that cause adversely side effects for fish, environment and consumers. Therefore, the present study was to investigate the effects of dietary turmeric (Curcuma longa), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris) as feed additives on growth performance, proximate composition and some immuno-hematological parameters on Nile tilapia. Four nitrogenous (31.43-31.56 % crude protein) and isocaloric (17.90-18.04 kJ/g) diets were formulated to contain 0% (control), 1% of turmeric, rosemary or thyme, respectively. The results reveled that, supplementation with medicinal herbs significantly increased (P<0.05) weight gain, specific growth rates and protein efficiency ratio (PER) compared to those in the control group. Moreover, the medicinal herb additives had insignificant effect on carcass composition and some biochemical composition. Hematocrit and leukocrit levels in the fish fed with turmeric, rosemary and thyme added diet were found to be significantly (P <0.05) higher than the control group. However, leukocyte level among the experimental groups was not significantly differed (P >0.05). In neutrophils of experimental fish groups, there were higher numbers of NBT (+) cells fixed on lamellas than those of the control group. So, based on the current findings together with the low cost and the immunostimulative effect of turmeric, rosemary and thyme it can be recommended to be used in fish feed to minimize the mortalities caused by some pathogens.
