Table 2. Number of edible insect species reported in the world Geographically, Ramos-Elorduy (2005) identified the Americas and Africa as recording the highest number of insect species eaten as food. However, when the Pacific countries are combined with Asian countries, the region registers more than 500 insect species consumed for food. It is likely that the total number of species eaten in Asia is considerably higher than this number, as research on the subject appears to have been less rigorous in Asia and the Pacific compared with work conducted and published in Africa and the Americas (Table 3).

Table 4. Protein content of common insects on a dry weight basis Insects represent rich sources of protein for the improvement of human diet, especially for individuals suffering from poor nutrition because of a protein deficit (Table 4). Gram for gram, insects often contain more protein and minerals than meat. In fact, nutritionists represent the leading group of researchers in food insects, motivated by a desire to remedy the problems associated with protein-deficient diets (De- Foliart, 2008).

however, the bees appeared excited, briefly left the feeding table in a hectic flight, alighted on it again, flew up and landed on nearby blades of grass or sticks, and finally left in the direction of the nest. On their return flight they again landed on leaves or sticks at intervals of 1- 2 m. About 8 m before reaching the nest they usually turned around and flew back to the food. Occasionally, a forager also entered the nest, presumably to alert and recruit nestmates. The hectic behavior displayed by the foragers is clearly connected with the deposition of scent marks that are subsequently used by the recruits to find the food: When the nest and feeder were placed

Chemical Structures of Trail Pheromone Compounds: on the opposite sides of a small lake, denying the bees any solid substrate for the deposition of pheromones, no newly recruited bees found the food resource (Lindauer and Kerr, 1960). Recruitment took place, however, when the foragers were provided with a substrate in the form ofa rope decorated with twigs and leaves tightened over the water surface, where they could land and deposit pheromone marks on their way back to the nest.

Relative water content (RWC) was more or less same in normal condition but it significantly reduced under drought stress condition (Fig.1). SarjooS2showed 28.57% reduction while N22 11.11%. Drought stress reduced cellular water content high in susceptible varieties whereas tolerant ones accumulate compitableosmolytes in cells and create osmotic pressure for absorption of water from less negative water potential to more negative potential (Wang et al, 2010). Relative water conent is considered as a measure of plant water status that reflecting the metabolic activity of plant tissues. It is usually uses as one of the most meaningful idexes for dehydration tolerance in wide variety of plant.

‘ig. 5. Effect of drought stress on grain yield plant'(g) in rice. The Sarjoo52 showed high grain yield (21.5 g) under normal condition but it also showed high reduction (47.4%) under stress condition (fig.5). Grain yield is governed by multigenic factors. The drought tolerance rice variety adapted various metabolic mechanisms under stress condition and showed persistency in yield stability over susceptible ones. Drought stress significantly reduced the RWC, total Chlorophyll and yield in rice varieties. Tolerant rice variety N22 had high water potential due accumulation of proline and other osmolytes, high catalase activity under drought stress condition. Consequently it showed less reduction in chlorophyll and yield in comparison to Sarjoo52.

Drought stress significantly increased the proline content irrespective of rice varieties (fig.4). The high proline content was recorded in N22 (20 %) than Sarjoo52 (7 %) at the termination of drought. Water stress induces the synthesis of proline in the plant. It acts as aosmolytes and create osmotic pressure in the plant cells for absorption of water. Accumulation of proline depends on the intensity and duration of drought stress and it acts as drought stress indicator (Cha-Um, et al., 2010).

They are tropical rain forest trees. The crop has not gained popularity among the farmers due to lack of awareness of its cultivation, nutritional value and standard methods to make processed products. This is a multipurpose useful plant having both the nutritional and medicinal properties so its cultivation should be encouraged. The leaves and young shoots, which taste like rhubarb, are astringent and stomachic. The fruits are eaten to overcome biliousness nausea and diarrhoea. Powered dried leaves are employed to relieve bronchitis and coughs. The leaves and bark are applied on bleeding gums and aching teeth. Pulverized roots are poultice on sores and skin eruptions and held in the mouth to soothe toothache. The biomolecules present in it are 4-carotene, anthocyanin, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and phenolic compoundswhich proves its good antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity.(Shown in Fig. 1.)

The moisture contents of different soybean varieties were between 3.9 % to 10.0%. On a dry weight basis, the protein content of different varieties ranged from 31- to 36%. There was no clear relationship between tofu yield and soybean protein content; however, the firmness of tofu prepared from these varieties decreased as the protein content of the soybean decreased. These results are in general agreement with other findings, wherein it has been reported that soybean varieties high in protein content produced tofu with high yield and firmer texture (Shen, et al., 1991).

[able 1. Yield attributes and yield of castor as influenced by intra-row spacing and N levels. due to increased food production as a result of increased growth parameters like number branches plant', number of leaves plant' and increased nutrition with reduced competition for resource consumption. Singh, 2003, Porwal, et al., 2006 and Rana, et al., 2006 also observed the significant improvement in yield attributing characters. However, reverse order of (60 > 90> and 120 cm) intra-row spacing was observed in case of yield parameters i.e. seed and stalk yield on unit area basis. Among intra row spacing S, i.e., 60 cm recorded significantly higher values of 3142 kg ha‘! during 2011-12, 3048 kg ha" during 2012-13 and 3095 kg ha" in pooled analysis as compare to 90 and 120 cm spacing. The mean seed yield advantage under 60 cm intra-row spacing was 9.05 and 3.99 per cent over 120 and 90 cm, respectively (Table 2). This may happened due to higher plant population in unit area, which compensate the growth and yield attributes produced by individual plants under wider intra-row spacing treatments. However, the oil yield was variated considerably and produced significantly higher values in closer intra-row spacing of 60 cm over 120, but closely followed by 90 cm.

(Table 1). Such positive and significant effect of N on yield attributing characters were also reported by Patel, et a/., 2005 and Rana, et al., 2006. The seed yield per plant was not influenced significantly due to N levels but found in higher side with N,, N, and at lower side with N,. Among N levels N, i.e., 60 cm recorded significantly higher seed and stalk yield of castor during all the cases as compare toN, i.e. 80 kg N ha" and was remained on same bar with N, i.e. 120 kg N ha’. Higher N levels increased the stalk yield significantly. Nitrogen played an important role in plant metabolism by virtue of being an essential constituent of diverse type of metabolically active components, like amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, co-enzymes and alkaloids which are important for higher growth and yield. The plant characters like number of branches, number of spikes plant" and test weight contribute directly in the yield of crop.

Table 2. Changes in various components of slurry enriched with SMS along with Trichoderma viride. The above process could be explained that inoculation of Trichoderma viride, cellulolytic fungi to the compost hastened the process of decomposition. Since this is a lignocellulolytic fungi which secrete many enzymes which reduced the time of composting, which simultaneously reduced the rate of loss of nutrients therefore the above combination had more amount of plant nutrients than control slurry. It is reported similar observation with Trichoderma viride during composting of crop residues, straw and banana leaves within 8-10 weeks with reduction in bulkiness of compost by 5-10%.

Although correlations are very useful in determining components of population of LBB but they do not provide complete understanding of relative importance of direct association of the component character/ factors towards the low pest population. In such situation whereas more variable are included in correlations studies, the indirect association becomes complex. The path coefficient analysis has been useful in finding out the direct and indirect causes of association of specific force acting to produce a given correlation coefficient. The observations revealed that minimum temperature had positive and high direct effect (1.6592) followed by morning relative humidity (0.1972), rainfall (0.1535), sunshine hours (0.1519) and evening relative humidity (0.016) respectively. Path coefficient effect revealed that the positive indirect effect of high magnitude of minimum temperature was obtained via rainfall (0.0854), sunshine hours (0.0514) and evening relative humidity (0.0006) respectively. The positive indirect effect of morning relative humidity was recorded via wind velocity (0.1308), rainfall (0.0414), sunshine hours (0.0177), evening relative humidity (0.0008) and maximum

Table 3. Estimation of Total phenolic compounds The antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds is mainly due to redox properties, which allow them to act as reducing agents, hydrogen donors, singlet oxygen quenchers, heavy metal chelatorsand hydroxy radical quenchers (Rice- Evans,et al., 1995). Kaur and Kapoor, 2002 reported the total phenolic content of 7’ foenum-graecum to be 217.5 mg of catechol/100 g of fresh vegetable.The total polyphenol contentof some common Indian leafy vegetables was found to bein the range of 5—69.5 mg of tannic acid/g of extract (Shyamala,et a/., 2005).Phenolic compounds present in plant extracts are reported to have beneficial effects on other chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease (Foresterand Waterhouse,2009). The total polyphenol content of four green leafy vegetables were estimated by Gupta and Prakash in 2009. The plants were found to have varying levels of polyphenols, ranging from 150 mg tannic acid/100 g sample for Centellaasiatica to 387 mg of tannic acid/100 g for M. koenigii. Tfoenum-graecum and Amaranthussp. had similar amounts of total polyphenols (158.33 mg of tannic acid/100 g).

Ho, et al., 2000 reported that at an inter disc with of 25mm allows another 20 isolates to be detected giving a sensitivity of 97.9%. They also told that double disk synergy test is most widely used as it is simple and reliable option. In the present study the double disc method was found to be the best method due to its simplicity and ease of interpretation (Ho, et al., 2000). In conclusion, the fairly higher incidence of ESBL producing E.coli being found in urine samples of patients is quiet alarming, as these organisms are being resistance to Extended Spectrum cephalosporins. It is the major threat to the use of many classes of antibiotics particularly cephalosporins. Hence the comparison was done between the different methods according to the sensitivities, specificities, PPV (positive predictive value) and NPV (Negative predictive value) for the detection of Extended Spectrum 4 Lactamases in the above study and was found that double disc method with highest sensitivity value is the

Table 1. As far as sensory quality concerned the product prepared from cow milk and coconut milk in 3:2 ratio was also of good flavour, body&texture, and almost similar to cow milk sandesh.30% sugar was added to the product to get the required sweetness. The amount of sugar added exerted no significant influence on the colour and appearance of the product with the increase in sugar level.The fat protein and ash content in the finished product decreased. The coconut milk sandesh (3:2) with 30% sugar and treated with 0.1% sorbic acid was stored at (30+ 1°c) for 6 days and at (7+1p c)for 16 days. The product (3:2) also showed maximum sensory ratings at (7 + 1°c).It was found that the moisture content reduced around 11%in both conditions.The chemical analysis was discontinued after 4" and 6" days onwards in the treated samples under ambient storage temperature as there was profuse surface growth which enabled proper sampling of the product. The refrigerated samples were not affected with surface growth, but the hardness and grittiness in body and texture and development of off-flavours lead the treated samples to become unacceptable after 12" to 16" days. Hence the chemical analysis was carried out up to the respective days of storage till the product kept well. The sensory evaluation was conducted on zero day and on the last respective day the product kept well. This was done to correlate the chemical changes with changes in organoleptic quality during the storage of sandesh. The chemical changes were absorbed in moisture content (%), titrable acidity (“lactic acid),Free fatty acid (% Oleic acid), HMF content (micromoles/ 100g), Tyrosine content(mg/100g). There were also changes taken place in sensory characteristics as flavour, colour and appearance, body & texture and overall acceptability. The changes in chemical constituents (Table 1) in cow and coconut mix milk sandesh (3:2) were noted during the storage period at ambient & refrigeration temperature. A gradual decrease in moisture content (%) was observed throughout the storage period. The initial moisture content of mixed sandesh 25.58% had decreased to 22.49% after 6 days and 16 days at ambient & refrigeration temperature respectively. The titrable Acidity of mixed sandesh (3:2) 0.51% (% lactic acid) had increased to determined by Rose-Gottlieb method.The protein of the product was estimated by Rowland’s method, 1938. The total carbohydrates were calculated by difference. The HMF value content in the sample was estimated by Keeney and Bassette, 1959. The tyrosine value was estimated according to the method of Juffs(1973).Further different ratio of coconut milk and cow milk were fortified to prepare the sandesh and these products were evaluated for different sensory characteristics bynine point hedonic scale(BIS, 1981).The prepared sandesh from (3:2) ratio of cow milk and coconut milk were evaluated for different sensory characteristics by nine point hedonic scale (BIS, 1981).The prepared sandesh(3:2) were kept at ambient and refrigeration temperature for storage to evaluate the chemical changes.

Table1. Analysis of variance for different characters in potato [Solanum tuberosum L.| The research was carried out during Rabi 2009-2010 at Main Potato Research Station, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University. The 24 diverse genotypes were obtained from Potato research station, SDAU, Deesa and CPRI, Shimla. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with three replications during second week of November and grouped into two sets viz., 75 days and 90 days harvest. Each genotype was represented by four rows plot of 2.5m X 3 m size. The inter and intra row distances were 50 cm and 20 cm, respectively which accommodated 60 plants per plot. The observations were recorded for plant height (cm), number of stem per plant, number of tubers per plant, Average weight of tubers (g), Tubers dry matter (%),Total tuber yield (q/ha), Marketable yield (t/ha), Chip color, Reducing sugar and Total Soluble Solids (TSS). Analysis of variance was calculated on the method suggested by Panse and Sukhatme, 1978. Correlation Coefficient Analysis (Al- Jibouri et al., 1958).

The experimental findings under reference suggested that the induced variability measured as coefficient of variation increased in the treated population as compared to the respective controls of these traits in both the varieties. In general, it was found that the relationship between increase in variability and doses was not linear (Nallathambi and Raja, 1990). Conclusively, the mean values for Different traits shifted either to positive or negative direction away from the control due to mutagenic treatments. Further advancement and advanced studies will be helpfull to select the better genotypes with BPH resistance as well as photoperiod insensitive.

IJIVNY UTaaglauon OF PalniMa Tays. 1LNe NUMOEY OF praiNs per panicle ranged from 28.00-245.00 in individuals observed across the M, families of Rathu Heenati (Table 4). Across the M, families of PTB33, the mean values for the number of grains per panicle ranged from 27.00 (250Gy) to 186.70 (200Gy). In case of spikelet sterility maximum percentage was 31.62 at 300Gy of gamma ray. Spikelet sterility percentage was found to be higher in all the families derived from gamma ray irradiation. In PTB33, mean spikelet sterility percentage 29.83 was observed with families derived from 250Gy of gamma rays. The spikelet sterility was found to be of higher in the gamma ray irradiated families than the control (Table 5). The mean single plant yield across the M, families of Rathu Heenati and PTB33 were found to be lower than the respective controls. The highest mean value of 18.86 g was recorded in families derived from 250Gy of gamma ray irradiation in Rathu Heenati (Table 6). In PTB33, the maximum mean single plant yield was found to be 20.26 g in families derived from 300Gy of gamma ray irradiation. The comparative analysis made on the means and variances for these traits in M, and M, generations indicated profound influence of the gamma rays on the traits viz. 1) number of grains per panicle, 2) spikelet sterility and 3) single plant yield. There was a significant reduction in the number of grains per panicle and single plant yield with the increase in the dose of gamma rays. All the three traits showed the same pattern with PTB33. In both Rathu Heenati and PTB33, the number of grains per panicle was found to be increased in M, generations of all the doses (Appendix I and II). Similar observations were made by Fu, ef a/., 2008 and Babai et al., 2010. The extent of variability was higher in M, generation. Invariably, the variability increased significantly in both the varieties, irrespective of increase or decrease in the mean values. Similar results were reported by
