Response of Teff (Eragrostis tef (Zucc) Trotter) to Seeding Rate and Methods of Sowing on Yield and Yield Attributes in a Subhumid Environment, Northern Ethiopia by Abraha Arefaine, Daniel Adhanom, Negasi Tekeste

“…In view of this, a field experiment, under rain-fed condition, was conducted at Laelay Machew district with the objective of evaluating the response of teff to seeding rate and methods of sowing during 2017/18 main cropping season. The experiment comprised four levels of seeding rate (10, 15, 20, and 25 kg/ha) and two methods of sowing (broad casting and row planting), and the experiment was laid in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design (RCBD), replicated three times. …”

Morphological Model for Erosion Prediction of India’s Largest Braided River Using MIKE 21C Model by Kuldeep Pareta

“…The Brahmaputra River has a dynamic, highly braided channel pattern with frequent river bar formation, making it morphologically very dynamic, especially during the monsoon season with high discharge and sediment load. To understand how the river changes over time, this study focused on two stretches: Palasbari-Gumi and Dibrugarh. …”

Water temperature, mixing, and ice phenology in the arctic–alpine Lake Darfáljávri (Lake Tarfala), northern Sweden by Nina Kirchner, Jan Weckström, Joachim Jansen, Frederik Schenk, Jamie Barnett, Annika Granebeck, Matti Leppäranta, Atte Korhola

“…Darfáljávri is cryostratified during winter, with interannual variations in the thermocline’s thickness and temperature range. The ice season lasts from October to July. Modeled ice-on dates match observed ones reasonably well; however, observed ice-off dates occur much later than modeled ones, likely because of cold impact from Darfáljávri’s glacial environment as inferred from a comparison with a close tundra lake. …”

Possible biocontrol of bacterial blight in pomegranate using native endophytic Bacillus spp. under field conditions by N. Manjunatha, Somnath S. Pokhare, Ruchi Agarrwal, Nripendra V. Singh, Jyotsana Sharma, Mallikarjun M. Harsur, Rajiv A. Marathe

“…This alteration was a manifestation of host tissue colonization by the endophytes as ROS scavenging is one of the mechanisms by which endophytes colonize the host plants. Furthermore, two-season field trials with endophytes for blight control resulted in a reduction of disease index by 47–68%, which was considerably higher than the reduction due to the chemical immune modulator (2-bromo-2-nitro-1, 3-propanediol) currently being recommended for blight control. …”
