“…Seed was tested for viability using tetrazolium test (Khan et al, 2006). The Germination test was conducted using germination paper and the number of normal and abnormal seedlings and dead seeds were recorded on the 14 th day of sowing (Lacicowa, 1982;Rather et al, 2022a;). On the day of final count 10 normal seedlings from each replication were taken randomly and seedling length was measured from tip of leaf to the tip of root excluding the seed.…”

Spot blotch caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana is one of the most serious diseases of barley in tropical areas where barley and wheat are grown. A field experiment was conducted at Regional Research Station Masodha, ANDUA&T, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh during Rabi season. To evaluate the effect of different dates of sowing and chemical and organic amendments on spot blotch and consequently on seed quality of barley. The experiment was conducted during the Rabi season 2016-17 under hotspot area of spot blotch. RD-2794 was sown in a split plot manner with two dates of sowing.The experiment was performed in split plot design with three replications comprising two different dates of sowing, i.e. mid- November (D1 ) and mid-December (D2 ) in the main plot and chemical and organic amendments viz., RDF (60N:30P:20K kg/ hectare) -T1 , FYM @ 5 t/h-T2 , T1 + Mulch@ 6 t/h-T3 , T1 + FYM @ 5t/hec + Mulch @ 6t/ hec.-T4 , T4 + 2 spray of zinc sulphate @ 0.5 %-T5 , T4 + 2 spray of KCl @0.5%-T6 and T5 + 2 spray of KCl @ 0.5 %-T7 in the sub plot. Results revealed that minimum disease severity (46.9%) with maximum disease control (39.98%) and per cent seed infection (5.5%) were recorded in D1 × T7 . The interpretation of data revealed that there was highly positive and significant correlation (r=0.95) between disease severity and per cent seed infection. The maximum 1000-seed weight (43.41g) and yield (38.67 q/ha) with maximum yield gain (57.25%) was also recorded in D1 × T7 . The same treatment combination was also useful in maximizing the seed quality in terms of seed viability (98%), Germination (97%), seedling length (27.30cm) and vigour index-I (2648.153) when the freshly harvested seeds were tested in seed testing laboratory. Spot blotch is a serious disease of barley spreads primarily through infected seeds and reduced the yield up to 30%. The disease can be minimized by sowing the crop timely i.e. mid-November with recommended dose of fertilizers + FYM @ 5 t/ha+ Mulch@ 6 t/ha+ 2 spray of zinc sulphate @ 0.5 % + 2 spray of KCl @ 0.5 % at flag leaf and post anthesis stage which improves the seed quality.

“…Different methods have been optimized to control and adequately utilize the waste, including extracting important nutrients from leachate. In third-world countries, the number of studies on food waste management is growing gradually (Filimonau and Delysia 2019 ; Rather et al et al 2022b ; Khan et al 2022 ). But, a few exceptions in analysis from the food service industries and national cuisines in most developing countries were excluded from it (Papargyropoulou et al 2019 ; Filimonau et al 2020 ).…”

Food waste has been identified as one of the major factors that constitute numerous anthropogenic activities, especially in developing countries. There is a growing problem with food waste that affects every part of the waste management system, from collection to disposal; finding long-term solutions necessitates involving all participants in the food supply chain, from farmers and manufacturers to distributors and consumers. In addition to food waste management, maintaining food sustainability and security globally is crucial so that every individual, household, and nation can always get food. “End hunger, achieve food security and enhanced nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture” are among the main challenges of global sustainable development (SDG) goal 2. Therefore, sustainable food waste management technology is needed. Recent attention has been focused on global food loss and waste. One-third of food produced for human use is wasted every year. Source reduction (i.e., limiting food losses and waste) and contemporary treatment technologies appear to be the most promising strategy for converting food waste into safe, nutritious, value-added feed products and achieving sustainability. Food waste is also employed in industrial processes for the production of biofuels or biopolymers. Biofuels mitigate the detrimental effects of fossil fuels. Identifying crop-producing zones, bioenergy cultivars, and management practices will enhance the natural environment and sustainable biochemical process. Traditional food waste reduction strategies are ineffective in lowering GHG emissions and food waste treatment. The main contribution of this study is an inventory of the theoretical and practical methods of prevention and minimization of food waste and losses. It identifies the trade-offs for food safety, sustainability, and security. Moreover, it investigates the impact of COVID-19 on food waste behavior.

“…The chemical cycling of trace metals is intricate due to the variety of factors (biotic and abiotic) involved in the manifestation of metal behavior, such as bio-chemical processes, hydrology, climatic factors, land use, and metal characteristics (Husain Mazhar et al, 2020;Khan et al, 2021). (Damian et al, 2019;Padder et al, 2021;Rather et al, 2022c;Padder et al, 2022) looked at the ecological value of trace metals in fresh water systems and the level of pollution in the water of the Kashmir Himalayas.…”

Trace elements are a major pollutant in the river water and these pollutants are present in all components of the ecological system. Since time immemorial, the River Veshaw has been one of the important sources of water and has shaped the cultural and social values in the Kashmir Valley. This study was conducted in rural parts of South Kashmir in the Western Himalaya from February to January 2020–2022. The river Veshaw provides various ecosystem services to the local communities as well as in the upper and lower stream regions in the form of many direct and indirect ecosystem services. The river is polluted by human waste from both rural and urban communities, as well as by agricultural runoff and effluent discharges from a variety of industrial activities due to its proximity. Effluent that makes it to the river contains a variety of pollutants, some of which are trace elements that accumulate in the local ecosystem, killing off plants and animals and reducing biodiversity. Trace element levels in water and sediment were found to follow the trend as: Sangam > Khudwani > Kulgam > Nihama > Aharbal > Kingwattan. The dominance pattern of heavy metals in water was Pb > As > Cd. The overall trend showed a downward trend of heavy metals, indicating the effect of land area drainage and anthropogenic activities on the stream water. The dominance pattern of heavy metals in water was Pb > As > Cd. Heavy metals were not detected in the middle and upstream sites. The average levels of heavy metals were highest at Downstream (Sangam), with values of Cd, Pd ad As 0.0054, 0.038 and 0.038 mgL-1. This shows that land drainage and human activities have an effect on the water in the stream.
