A complete diallel cross between five maize inbred lines viz; Elp-326, Elp-433, Elp-612, Elp-326 and Elp-780 was used to determine the genetic behavior of grain yield, days to 50% tasseling, days to 50% silking, plant height, cob height and cob girth during growing seasons 2018 and 2019. Analysis of variances was carried out for all the parameters following (Steel, R.G.D., & Torrie, J.H. 1980) technique which revealed highly significant differences for all the traits studied. The analyses of GCA and SCA were carried out using (Griffing, B. 1956) technique, Method I, Model II. Both GCA and SCA mean squares were highly significant for all the traits indicating the involvement of additive as well as non additive gene interactions in the expression of these traits. SCA mean squares and variances were larger than those of GCA mean squares and variances which suggested that non additive genes had major role in the inheritance of grain yield and its related characters under study. Elp-433 was found the best general combiner for all the parameters. Elp-426, Elp-326 were good general combiners for grain yield only. Elp-326 x Elp-780 and Elp-426 x Elp-433 were best combinations for grain yield and most of its components. The crosses Elp-780 x Elp-433, Elp-780 x Elp-426, Elp-780 x Elp-433, Elp-326 x Elp-433, Elp-612 x Elp-426 and Elp-326 x Elp-612 having higher reciprocal effects pointed out that partial role of cytoplasmic inheritance cannot be ruled out in controlling the physiology of these traits.

The present investigation was carried out to explore the genetic diversity of five Pearl millet genotypes: MGP-02, MGP-09, MG-P74, MGP-104 and MGP-117 for grain yield, days to 50% flowering, plat height, number of nodes, panicle length and panicle girth. Grain yield showed positive and significant/highly significant correlation with panicle length panicle girth, number of nodes and plant height indicating that grain yield can be boost up by improving these characters through phenotypic selection. Further, high PCV and GCV for the traits studied also suggested that theses parameters can be genetically improved through phenotypic selection in the subsequent generations. Comparatively higher heritability along with high genetic advance for grain yield, plant height and panicle length pointed out that these agronomic characteristics were controlled by additive genes and hence can be improved by gene pyramiding through visual recurrent selection from advanced generations.

Any layman knows about (‘Muh Paka Khur Paka’), the Hindi language version of the Foot & Mouth Disease (FMD) but they do not realize its contagiousness & fatal nature among live-stocks especially among milch cows. There is prevention of FMD through a vaccine but there is no treatment in veterinary science. The current case is a case of FMD in a Jersy cow or Bos Taurus as they are scientifically called aged 4 years with a 4 months-old calf weighing about 120 kilograms. FMD has been managed traditionally by use of natural soda ash solution for washing the lesions while some communities have applied honey & finger millet flour to the lesions (Gakuya, D. W. et al 2011). These traditional medicines were also reported earlier (Molan, P.C. 1992; Molan, P.C. 2001; & Hegde, P. S). In India, farmers usually make soft fodder & astringents for the suffering animal as a cure. The case describes the effectiveness of Homoeopathic medicines against the FMD virus thereby depicting that Homoeopathy is not only effective for humans but also in veterinary sciences. The article describes the case as it evolved while detailing out the treatment or care given to the cattle during a fortnight period.The article is an effort to disseminate the message among the veterinary professionals & care taker of the Cattles so that all the cases follow a pluralistic approach where the preventive & supportive methods of veterinary science is complemented with the curative methods of Homoeopathy.

Hydroponics is a popular technique of growing crops in nutrient solution with using any soil based growing medium under precise climatic controlled condition. It has tremendous possibility for revolutionizing agriculture system not only in developed counties but in also in developing countries. Hydroponics system also exhibit better growth of plants as compared to crop cultivation done following the conventional system of cultivation. Moreover as the hydroponic system is done in controlled conditions, so it is possible to practice cultivation throughout the year irrespective of prevailing outdoor condition. In recent times, hydroponic vegetable production system is getting popularity in urban area where it has been adapted by many progressive growers. Still implementation of the hydroponic system by regular grower has some challenges as limited study has been done to evaluated quality of water on growth of plants in hydroponics. This study demonstrates possibility of the application of hydroponic system for farming. Hydroponics is futuristic system of agriculture as it makes it possible to cultivate crop on nutrient solution. It has tremendous possibility to be explored in areas where soil is severely affected and is not suitable for agriculture. It is also a boon for urban areas, where land availability for agriculture purpose is very limited. With proper understanding and standardization of hydroponic system it can be effectively used for sustainable agriculture.
