“…S9 (0-15 cm depth) had the highest value of 424.27 Kg/ha, whereas S4 (30-45 cm depth) had the lowest value of 243.68 Kg/ha. The available Nitrogen decreases with the increasing depth due to the fact it is positively correlated with organic matter content which decreases with depth and might be due to higher pH to the depth, similar result was reported by (Kumar et al, 2020) Environment Conservation Journal attribute of favourable soil pH and organic matter content, similar result was reported by (Sarma and colleagues 2019). Potassium availability Kg/ha varied from 64.12 to 172.70 Kg/ha.…”

“…The pH and electrical conductivity of soil are controlled by the application of manures and fertilisers (Dhaliwal et al, 2019). Incorporating a legume crop into a cropping system can improve soil physical and chemical qualities, especially in rice-growing regions (Kumar et al, 2020). Both soil nutrient availability, soil health, and crop growth may benefit from a balanced application of organic and inorganic fertilisers (Das et al, 2021).…”

The sampling location was Saharsa, which is one of Bihar's most flood-prone area Flooding is the leading source of soil degradation in the district. The current study was carried out in the Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry laboratory at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences. 27 samples were collected from several farmer's fields, and composite sampling was carried out from three depths of 0-15, 15-30, and 30-45 cm. The results revealed that the texture was sandy loam to sandy clay, bulk density ranged from 1.11 to 1.59 Mg/m3, particle density ranged from 2.22 to 2.85 Mg/m3, pore space ranged from 52.60 to 66.50 % and water holding capacity ranged from 61.11 to 78.12 %. The pH ranged from 6.58 to 7.65, E.C. from 0.17 to 0.39 dS/m,(Due to Flooding) Soil Organic Carbon ranged from 0.74 to 1.20 %, Soil has acceptable Bd, Pd, pore space, and water holding capacity. As a result of the beneficial electrical conductivity for plants, the pH of the soil is neutral to alkaline. Sodium is low to medium in range. Low to medium levels of macronutrients are found in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulphur. By employing the proper management techniques and supplying the soil with enough nourishment for plant growth, farmers must maintain the health of their soil.

Background: South Asian society has a long history of surface corrosive burns. Acid throwing or vitriolage results in physical, social and psychological challenges and remains a major issue worldwide. Objective: To collect data regarding frequency, age and gender distribution, burnt surface area, nature, major body parts damaged and mortality in surface corrosive burns at the medico-legal clinic of Mayo hospital, Lahore (Pakistan) from 1st January, 2013 upto September, 2018. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study at the medico-legal clinic of Mayo hospital, Lahore. The data of 38 surface corrosive burn cases was collected from 1st January, 2013 to September 2018 by consecutive sampling. All cases involving any surface chemical/corrosive burn were selected, while excluding wet burns, flame burns, substance poisoning etc. The data was obtained on a data collection proforma and analyzed by using SPSS version 23.0. These cases were categorized on the basis of the year of presentation, gender & age, burnt surface area, nature of burns, damage to any sensory or vital function and any resulting mortality. The research was conducted after obtaining an ethical approval by Institutional Review Board of King Edward Medical University, Lahore. Results: Surface corrosive burns constituted almost 0.0026% of the 14,550 medico-legal cases during the said duration. There were 21 males and 17 females. About 1/3rd of cases were between 21-30 years of age. Almost 42% cases had 9-18 % of body surface area burnt and 34.2% had less than 9% surface area burnt. Nearly 66% had been the victims of homicidal burns while 26.3% were burnt accidentally. About 42% individuals were subjected to vitriolage, involving face and eyes. No mortality was seen. Conclusion: Surface corrosive burns specially vitriolage, although rare (0.0026%), cause a significant threat to the facial identity. They were mainly homicidal/accidental in nature, more frequent in males with a higher occurrence from 11 to 50 years of age.

The contribution of aquaculture and fisheries to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is considered as one of the most important indicators for assessing the economic performance of the country. A large section of Bihar’s population relies on agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishing for their livelihood. The fisheries sector plays a critical role in ensuring nutritional security and creating employments. The culture and consumption of fish therefore has important implications for national income and food security. Bihar’s entire fish output in 2019 was estimated 0.64 mt, contributing 1.5% of the State’s total Gross Domestic Product (SGDP). However, the occurrence of annual saga in terms of floods and drought, rather than lack of recent advancement in aquaculture are the major challenges for the development of aquaculture in Bihar. Despite the fact that the state’s momentum in aquaculture over the last decade propelled it to fourth place in inland fish production and sixth place in freshwater seed production in India. The substantial investments in fisheries sector in the State can improve the income of farmers. The State’s aquaculture production can be further enhanced by harnessing the bestowed fishery resources at a sustainable level with approaches for acceleration in fish production such as promotion of aquaculture in wetlands, species and technological diversification for aquaculture, extension of improved aquaculture technology, realization the scope of integrated fish farming, establishing of fish hatchery, assembling of fish market and supply chain and propagation of ornamental fish activities.
