In first part of this study, influences of wash-ageing and the use of fabric softener on the different mechanical parameters of textiles were examined. This paper deals with correlation of those mechanical parameters with sensory attributes. We defined the tracking criterion to investigate the relevancy of mechanical parameters with different sensory attributes. An intelligent system based on Fuzzy-Logic was developed in order to predict the sensory attribute score using two most relevant mechanical parameters.  相似文献

The current study evaluated transgenic cotton lines with normal levels of gossypol/terpenoids in the vegetative and floral tissues, but with ultra‐low gossypol in the seeds as a replacement for glandless cottonseed meal (GCSM) and fishmeal. A 64‐day growth trial evaluated the ability of cottonseed meals from a natural glandless cotton variety/mutant, two transgenic Ultra‐low Gossypol Cottonseed (ULGCS) lines, a non‐transgenic parental control and a commercial variety, to replace 355 g kg^?1 fishmeal in a diet containing 350 g kg^?1 crude protein. Juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei (1.48 ± 0.29 g) were stocked (40 shrimp m^?3) with six replicates. No significant differences were found between all formulated diets in terms of final weight, survival and feed conversion ratio. The commercial cottonseed variety displayed a significantly lower feed efficiency ratio and protein efficiency ratio than one of the ULGCS diets. These results suggest that GCSM and/or transgenic ULGCS meals can be used to replace fishmeal in commercial shrimp diets.  相似文献   

Crop establishment methods: foliar and basal nourishment of rice (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oryza sativa</Emphasis>) cultivation affecting growth parameters,water saving,productivity and soil physical properties     

R. K. Naresh  R. S. Rathore  S. S. Dhaliwal  R. B. Yadav  Dipender Kumar  S. P. Singh  Adil Nawaz  Narendra Kumar  Raj K. Gupta 《Paddy and Water Environment》2016,14(3):373-386

A 3-year field experiment was carried out with tillage crop establishment (TCE) and rice nourishment in north-western India to evaluate the effect of five crop establishment methods and seven fertility treatments on crop production, water productivity, profitability, and soil physical quality. Maximum panicle length (30.9 cm) was noted with F₃ treatment and minimum (22.7 cm) with F₀ treatment. Zinc application methods and timing had significantly effect on paddy yield. Maximum yield (5.22 t ha^?1) was achieved in treatment F₃ and minimum yield (2.65 t ha^?1) was noted in F₀ treatment. Results also revealed that root dry weight, root volume, and root length were recorded with higher values in F₃ treatment and minimum in F₀ treatment. TCE methods were recorded with higher values in raised beds system than T₅ at all growth stages. Treatments T₁ and T₂ reduced the mean maximum soil temperature at transplanting zone depth by 3.6 and 2.7 °C compared to the T₃. Paddy yield in T₃ was always significantly less than in T₅. On average, treatment T₄ recorded about 13 % lower water use and 3.7 % higher water productivity compared to T₅. Treatment T₅ had higher bulk density. The cumulative infiltration for 498 min was about 2 times in treatment T₁, 5 times in T₃ and more than 8 times in T₄ of the values in T₅. Mean weight diameter of aggregates was higher in T₄ followed by the T₁ and lowest in T₅. The study reveals that TCE methods T₁ and T₄ with F₃ nourishment could be more viable options for rice crop in order to save input costs and enhance profitability.  相似文献   

Effect of conjoint application of indigenous PGPR and chemical fertilizers on productivity of maize (Zea mays L.) under mid hills of Himachal Pradesh     

Gaurav Sood  Rajesh Kaushal  Anjali Chauhan  Shweta Gupta 《Journal of plant nutrition》2018,41(3):297-303

The present study was conducted to work out the conjoint application of indigenous PGPR (plant growth promoting rhizobacteria) and chemical fertilizers levels on the productivity of maize (Zea mays L.). Three best PGPR isolates (B1N1, MAT1 and DHK) having maximum PGP (plant growth promoting) traits were screened at different recommended doses (80%, 60% and 40%) of NP (Nitrogen and Phosphorous) under net house conditions, and finally two isolates (B1N1 and MAT1) along with optimum dose i.e. 80% of NP were selected for field experimentation, which was performed for two years consecutively i.e. 2013–2015 under random block design (RBD). Conjoint application of 80% recommended doses of NP with PGPR (B1N1) significantly increased maize yield (11.7%), plant height (12.9%) and biomass (17.9%), over control (100% recommend dose of fertilizer (RDF) of chemical fertilizer). Therefore, the results revealed the potential of indigenous PGPR isolates to supplement about 20% NP fertilizers without hampering the productivity of maize.  相似文献

Micropropagation of an endangered Indian sandalwood (Santalum album L.)     

Sanjaya  Bagyalakshmi Muthan  Thrilok Singh Rathore  Vittal Ravishankar Rai 《Journal of Forest Research》2006,11(3):203-209

Santalum album is known as East Indian sandalwood. It is the most economically important tree harvested for heartwood oil, and India is among the chief exporters of sandalwood and its products. Multiple shoots were induced from nodal shoot segments derived from a 50- to 60-year-old candidate plus tree (CPT) on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.53 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 11.09 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). In vitro differentiated shoots were multiplied on MS medium with 0.53 μM NAA, 4.44 μM BA, and additives: 283.93 μM ascorbic acid, 118.10 μM citric acid, 104.04 μM cystine, 342.24 μM glutamine, and 10% (v/v) coconut milk. New shoots were harvested repeatedly for up to three subculture passages on fresh medium at 4-week intervals. Microshoots treated with 98.4 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) for 48 h produced roots on growth-regulator-free, quarter-strength MS basal salts medium with vitamin B₅ and 2% sucrose. In vitro root induction was achieved from microshoots pulsed with 1230 μM IBA for 30 min in soilrite rooting medium. The percentage of rooting in soilrite was higher than that for agar medium, and in vitro raised plants were established in the field and showed normal growth.  相似文献   

Carbon sources affect water quality and haemato‐biochemical responses of Labeo rohita in zero‐water exchange biofloc system     

Irshad Ahmad  Tasok Leya  Neelam Saharan  Babitha Rani Asanaru Majeedkutty  Gaurav Rathore  Adnan Hussain Gora  Irfan Ahmad Bhat  Ajit Kumar Verma 《Aquaculture Research》2019,50(10):2879-2887

Biofloc technology degrades waste into useful resources exploiting microbes and can be used in zero‐water exchange systems. To study the effect of different biofloc systems on haematological and metabolic response of Labeo rohita fingerlings, a 60‐days experiment was conducted using four long lasting carbon sources. Seven hundred and fifty fingerlings having mean weight of 4.80 ± 0.12 g were randomly distributed into 15 tanks (n = 50 per tank). Five experimental groups were set in triplicate; T1 (Tapioca), T2 (Wheat), T3 (Corn) T4 (Sugar bagasse) and control (clear water). In‐situ biofloc was developed in 300 L fibre‐reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks and a C/N ratio of 15 was maintained. Water quality variables indicated ammonia immobilization by heterotrophic bacteria, as the dominant mechanism for the removal of toxic‐nitrogenous compounds in the biofloc systems. Results exhibited significantly higher floc volume (53.33 ± 7.88 ml/L), haemoglobin content (6.61 ± 0.03 g/dl) and total leucocyte count (109.66 ± 0.06 thousand cells/mm³) in tapioca biofloc system. Furthermore, the digestive and anti‐oxidative enzymes activities were also significantly higher in tapioca biofloc system. The lactate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase enzyme assays showed a decreased level in tapioca biofloc system as compared with other biofloc systems and control group. Our observations indicate that tapioca biofloc system could improve the water quality, haematological and anti‐stress responses of L. rohita fingerlings in biofloc systems and thus can effectively replace other carbohydrate sources for the biofloc system.  相似文献

Mucosal immune barriers confer protection against invading fish pathogens. Here, we conducted an experiment for 60 days to assess the mucosal and systemic immune response in Mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala), an Indian major carp. Fish were immunized with inactivated Edwardsiella tarda by four different routes, namely, oral, immersion, injection, and anal intubation. An indirect enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the specific immune response (antibody) in serum and mucus (collected from skin, gill, and gut) of the fish on 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days postimmunization. For specific immune response in the serum, significantly higher (p < 0.05) optical density (OD) values were obtained in the anal group (0.52 ± 0.03) and in the oral group (0.48 ± 0.03). In the skin mucus, significantly higher OD values were obtained in the oral group (0.48 ± 0.04) and immersion group (0.32 ± 0.03). In the gill mucus, significantly higher OD values were obtained in the oral group (0.82 ± 0.08) and the immersion group (0.73 ± 0.03). In the gut mucus, significantly higher OD values were obtained in the immersion group (0.080 ± 0.007) compared to the rest of the treatments. Fish from all the groups were challenged with LD₅₀ dose of E. tarda at the end of the experiment. We conclude that oral and immersion immunization routes offer better protection of C. mrigala compared to other antigen delivery routes.  相似文献
