The existing cane harvesting and supply management system in sub tropical cane growing belt is a serious impediment in obtaining higher sugar recovery. The time lag between harvesting to milling of cane generally ranges between 3-7 days which entails losses in recoverable sugar (Solomon et al., 2007). The sugarcane varieties although varies for such losses but altogether each and every variety loses its cane weight and sugar after harvesting (Siddhant et al., 2008). Studies have indicated decline in sucrose per cent in cane to the extent of 2.0 units within period of 72 hours of...

Assessment of sugar loses during staling in different varieties of sugarcane under subtropical condition
The harvesting of sugarcane, in Indian subtropics generally starts from the month of November and continues till April or in certain cases extends upto May and June as per recommendations of the government and availability of raw materials. After harvesting of cane, the stored sugar is extracted in sugar mills. In between the harvesting and milling, the time lag is generally one to three days during which the extraction of maximum sugar is feasible. The ambient temperature affects adversely on stored sugar after harvesting. Therefore, the raw materials should be crushed as early...

Cultivation of Pleurotus flabellatus (Berk. Et Br.) Sacc. using different waste substrate
The lignocellulosic biomass constitutes a major portion of the total carbon fixed by photosynthesis. It consist of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin that are closely associated with each other constituting cellular complex of the vegetal biomass. However, only a small fraction of this biomass is utilized; most of it is considered waste material. The abundant availability of wastes pose a problem of disposal. Bio-conversion of these renewable wastes would solve pollution problems, and also these organic wastes may become available for soil enrichment. Biodegradation of various agro and agro-industrial wastes could be accomplished through...

तुम्हारे लिए
अभी कल ही की बात है जब मैंने बोये थे कुछ आखिरी शब्द कागजों पर सिलसिलेवार क्रम में, और अब मेरे पास तुम्हें देने को कवितायेँ नहीं। वैसे भी, तुम पर कुछ लिखना कितना कठिन है न, जब कि तुम इतने भी सुन्दर नहीं कि बन न सके तुम पर एक कविता। और अब सोचता हूँ कि तुम पर कुछ न कुछ गढ़ने को चुनने हैं अभी कितने और शब्द, इसी उहापोह में कविता जैसी ही ये कविता केवल तुम्हारे लिए।। ...

SPAWN MANIPULATION FOR PLEUROTUS EOUS
The spawn is nothing but the seeds of mushroom. Its making has been primary concern in mushroom industry which is achieved by developing mushroom mycelia on supporting medium under controlled environmental conditions. In almost all cases the supporting matrix is sterilized grain which is preferred due to its bio-chemical properties and practical performance over others. Traditionally, wheat grains are used as spawn substrate. Unfortunately, the ever increasing demand of this grains for human consumption leaves little scope for its use in spawn making. A number of less popular grains can be used to prepare mushroom...

आओ करें समय में सैर
समय में यात्रा करना हमेशा से ही मानव की अभिलाषा रही है। पर क्या आप जानते है कि तारों और ग्रहों को देखने हेतु काम आने वाला दूरदर्शी एक ऐसा प्रकाशिक यन्त्र है जो हमारी इस अभिलाषा को पूरी कर सकता है। दूरदर्शी उन खगोलीय पिंडों को देखने के काम आता है जिन्हें नंगी आँखों से देखना संभव नहीं होता। मानो , इसके द्वारा जब हम कोई 100 करोड़ प्रकाश वर्ष दूर की आकाशगंगा को देखते हैं तो वास्तव में हम उस आकाशगंगा को उसके 100 करोड़ वर्ष पूर्व के रूप में देखते हैं जब उस...

SPAWNING STRATEGY FOR THE CULTIVATION OF PLEUROTUS EOUS (BERKELEY) SACCARDO
Mushroom is unique horticultural crop. In contrast to cultivation of higher plants, which started in pre-historical times, the culture of fungi is relatively recent innovation. Historically, mushroom were gathered from the wild for consumption and for medicinal use. The first commercial cultivation of edible mushrooms was developed in France in the 18th century since then it has traveled far a head. The pink coloured oyster mushroom, Pleurotus eous is one of the edible mushrooms that can be cultivated on a wide range of agro-waste using different methods of spawning. It is relatively less documented species, therefore, there is a...

ट्रांजिट ऑफ़ वीनस
जब शुक्र ग्रह पृथ्वी और सूर्य के बीच से गुजरता है, तब वह सूर्य की डिस्क पर एक काले बिंदु के रूप मेंदिखाई देता है इसे ही ट्रांजिट ऑफ़ वीनस कहते है। दूरबीन का आविष्कार के बाद अब तक इस तरह की केवल आठ घटनाये (1631, 1639, 1761, 1769, 1874, 1882, 2004 तथा 2012) ही हुई है जो इसे दुर्लभ बनाती है। इस खगोलीय घटना का दूसरा महत्वपूर्ण पक्ष यह भी है कि इसी आधार पर पहली बार प्रमाणिक तौर पर पृथ्वी से शुक्र सहित सूर्य से पृथ्वी तथा अन्य ग्रहों कि दूरियों का शुद्धता से आकलन किया गया और सौर-मंडल के विस्तार को समझा जा सका। 06 जून, 2012...

Waste paper: An alternative substrate for growing oyster mushrooms
Most of the edible fungi are saprophyte in nature. They utilize lignocellulosic complex as an energy source and for making their carbon skeleton. The oyster mushroom has strong enzyme profile that breakdown these complex organic macromolecule to simple form and help them to grow on a wide range of agricultural waste like cereal and millet waste, pulses and oil crop waste, vegetable and fruit waste, cotton and palm waste, sugar crop waste and wood and wood by-products etc. These agro-wastes are scarce in the big cities, the...

Bottle culture: A novel tool of mushroom cultivation in flatlets
Malnutrition in terms of deficiency of protein and micronutrients is not only a problem for the small towns. Many children in metro-cities are also under-nourished despite of taking fullest capacity of meal. In severe cases, it resulted higher incidence of disease, delayed mental development and even growth retardation. The nutritive value makes oyster mushrooms an ideal and balanced food for aforesaid children which can fulfill their minimum nutritional requirements. The mushrooms are not only good source of dietary fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals but also have some medicinal values. In addition, they have unique colour,...
