Drought is a normal, recurrent climatic feature that occurs in virtually every climatic zone around the world, causing billions of dollars in loss annually for the farming community. Crops are selected across the country to normal rainfall conditions. If any deviation in normal rainfall towards deficit, it will adversely affect the crop growth, development and production under rainfed conditions. The early break in monsoon, i.e. early season drought is the one which adversely affect the transplanting area of rice while the monsoon failure during July and August, i.e. intermittent drought is...

Curcumin is a yellow-orange powder that is insoluble in water and ether but soluble in ethanol, dimethylsulfoxide, and acetone. Curcuminoids exhibit a broad spectrum of biological and pharmacological activities. Curcumin's unique ability to work through so many different pathways with its extraordinary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory attributes can have a positive influence in combating almost every known disease. In spite of high efficacy and safety, curcumin has not yet been approved as a therapeutic agent, due to the poor solubility and oral bioavailability. Aim of this work is to...

The researchers of chemistry subject at the universities/institute levels are exposed to heavy doses of descriptive and theoretical material, which make it difficult for them to hold the subject. I, therefore, thought it desirable to restructure the subject-matter in the field of natural products chemistry in a way that would not only sustain the interest of the students but also develop the methodology and concept of the modern techniques of plant chemistry. It is primarily intended to serve as a textbook Phytochemicals from Dalbergia stipulacea Roxb & Morina longifolia Wall for the MSc...

Carrot is one of the important root crops cultivated throughout the world for freshly edible roots.. Drying is the most important method for preservation of carrots with an ultimate aim of improving storability by reducing its moisture content. Total drying time considerably reduced with increase in drying temperature from 55 to 75 0C. The constant rate period was found to be absent, only falling rate period was observed in all the experimental conditions. The Page model described the drying behavior of carrot cubes satisfactorily. The rehydration ratio increased with increased drying...

Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops occupying 25.06 m ha area of India and producing 80.6 million tonnes there by contributing 36 per cent to the total food grain basket of the country. So, there is good scope to increase the productivity of wheat with the adoption of improved production technology like improved tillage techniques, nutrient management, irrigation scheduling, weed management, disease and pest management.
