Air Transport Area as an Object of State Regulation by O. V. Brusakova

“…It is concluded that the state needs to respond appropriately, i.e. to implement appropriate state regulation of the aviation area functioning during the pandemic, in particular in the implementation of air transportation in exceptional cases, the operation of airfields and airports in quarantine, aircraft parking in designated areas, standardization of issues, related to the return of passengers for canceled flights or their rebooking, providing state support to the aviation area in connection with the cessation of financial revenues from all market participants (including by allocating subsidies from the state budget, providing state aid to ensure minimal operation of airports and airfields, exemption of airlines from paying certain types of taxes for a certain period of time), etc.…”

Enhancing Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Propagation Efficiency through Growing Media by P. K. Anagha, D. P. Prakasha, N. Anand, M. Vijay, Shivayogi Ryavalad, Mude Ramya Sree

“…It revealed that vermicompost was found the best media for the propagation of cutting which recorded early sprouting (13.2 days), highest sprout length, number of sprouts per cutting, length of the longest root, number of primary roots, fresh weight, dry weight (15.19 cm, 3.20, 15.08 cm, 9.60, 82.00 g, 34.60 g respectively at 90 days after planting), and survival percentage (84%), whereas, the sand and soil media combination resulted in the lowest performance of dragon fruit cuttings, with minimal sprout length (4.10 cm), low percentage of cuttings sprouted (24%), and poor root development (9.64 cm longest root, 3.60 primary roots) with lowest fresh weight (27.80 g), dry weight (11.80 g) and survival percentage (20%) at 90 DAP. …”
