Niger (Guizotia abyssinicaCass) is an important minor oilseed crop of hilly and tribal regions and it is used for oil as well as for various other purposes only by the tribal people. Therefore, a systematic study was arranged to document about the increase in the seed yield of niger crop in relation to honeybees (Aphis mellifera), as a pollinator in niger crop with paired plot technique at the Niger Research Station (NRS) at Navsari Agricultural University (NAU) and at farmer’s field, Vanarasi, Navsari, Gujarat (India) and also studied its relation in terms of cost benefit ratio (CB). The trial was conducted at Niger Research Station (NRS), Vanarasi for 3 years (2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16) and also at farmer's field to ascertain the role and involvement of honey bees (Aphis mellifera) in swelling the seed yield of niger crop (due to pollination) and its effect on income due to increase in the niger seed yield. Significant differences were observed for number of capitula/plant, number of seeds/capitula, 1000 seed weight and seed yield in both the location for the consecutive 3 years. However, the seed yield and gross returns were considerably higher in first location of T1Natural plot/open pollinated with beehive (Aphis mellifera)in all the 3 years data with the maximum seed yield with the gross return was obtained in this treatment.

Field experiment was conducted in rabbi season of 2016-17 at Research Farm of at AICRP on Integrated farming System. Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani entited "Effect of Organic, Inorganic and Integrated Nutrient Management on Soil Properties, Production and Economics of Onion Under Vertisol". The experiment was laid out on Vertisols with eight treatment combination, replicated three times in randomized block design. Application 50% recommended NPK +50% N trough FYM/crop residues/compost/other organic source + inorganic sources of micronutrient as per soil test the highest onion bulb yield (139.57 qt ha -1 ) and leaf strew yield (2.02 qt ha -1 ) was recorded by INM treatments. The growth parameters of onion plant height, number of leaves per plant significantly differed over inorganic and absolute control during crop growth period. Similarly, nutrient availability of N (183.56 kg ha -1 ), P (14.23 kg ha -1 ) and K (369.56 kg ha -1 ) was recorded of application of treatment 50% recommended NPK + 50% N trough FYM/crop residues/compost/other organic source + inorganic sources of micronutrient as per soil test than rest of the treatments. The bulk density was improved by application of organic and INM than inorganic and control treatments during the crop growth period. The results in respect of pH, EC and organic carbon showed significant variations among the treatments due to application of organic, inorganic and INM treatment.

Cervical ectopic pregnancy is a rare condition that accounts for less than 0.1% of all ectopic pregnancies with high morbidity and mortality rate. We present a case of a 25 years old G5P3L2A1D1 with history of 9 weeks amenorrhoea and previous 3 caesarean sections (CS) presented with bleeding per vaginum for 2 days. Ultrasound examination revealed a ballooned-out cervical canal with a gestational sac containing foetus with cardiac activity present and an empty uterus with thickened endometrium with a typical hour-glass configuration of the uterus. Thus, the diagnosis of cervical ectopic pregnancy was made. Patient was complicated by haemorrhagic shock. Immediately hysterectomy was performed. Inj. PCV 4 unit and FFP 6 units were given and post-op- patient was shifted to ICU on ventilation support. In ICU, patient was kept on ventilation support for 4 days with vasopressor supports. Antibiotics, antacids, antiemetics, IV fluids, supportive care given. Patient was discharged on post-op day-7 with stable hemodynamics and healthy vaginal vault and stitch line. Improved ultrasound resolution and earlier detection has led to the development of more conservative treatments in non-severe cases that attempt to limit morbidity and preserve fertility.

The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments replicated thrice to find out the response of cotton to foliar application of nutrient under rainfed condition. Foliar application of 2 per cent urea and 2 per cent DAP significantly increased seed cotton yield, number of open bolls/plant, boll weight, N, P and K Nutrient content, uptake, fibre quality parameters i.e. ginning percentage, fibre strength and oil per cent.
