Abstract

Among the insects attacking teak well-known pests of the teak tree (Tectona grandis) i.e., Hyblaea puera (Lepidoptera: Hyblaeidae), popularly known as the teak defoliator is the most widespread and serious pest causing a loss in increment volume of plants.  Having a high economic timber value, Tectona grandis has also played an important role in storing carbon. Hence, the present investigation has attempted to study the impacts of teaks defoliator Hyblaea puera on carbon stocks accumulation and overall growth in plantation forests and make acomparison with healthy teak plantation forests without the impacts of teak defoliator. Remaining all other factors constant, the study conducted on tropical regions of eastern Nepal has shown an 18% increase in carbon stocks in 2 years in the teak defoliator infected patch whereas it’s 38% in the healthy patch. Similarly, a highly positive correlation was found between diameter and height in a healthy patch in both the measurement i.e., 0.88 and 0.89. Whereas there is less positive correlation i.e.,0.64 and 0.69 in the infected patch.The mean height increment of the healthy plot was 1.1, while it was 0.5 in the case of the infected plot. Furthermore, the Mean DBH Increment of the Healthy plot was 2.1; however, it was 1.0 in the case of the infected plot. To sum up, this study at tropical regions has presented the impacts of teak defoliator (Hyblaea puera) on growth(height and diameter) and carbon accumulation on Teak plantation area.

Abstract

The second largest and most well-known insect order Lepidoptera includes both butterflies and moths in the world. This study was started based on secondary information from present literature from different countries on the flora and fauna. So far, much study work was completed on this subject but those workers were not existing to the extension employees, policymakers, and the public in an efficient way to date. In this review paper, we can give the recent data on etymology, distribution and diversity, external morphology, different morphological parts of caterpillar, internal morphology, digestive system, circulatory system, reproduction and growth, respiratory system, and growth and role of the olfactive process in larval and adult lepidopteran insects. There are over one hundred and eighty thousand Lepidoptera species described, divided into one hundred and twenty-six families and forty-six superfamilies, and the total number of living beings was labeled as about ten percent. A result found is that the species of moths is about one hundred sixty thousand compared to one hundred seventy thousand five hundred species of butterflies in the world. Butterflies are an important category of insects that can function as sensors of environmental change. Butterflies are insects from the order Lepidoptera's macro-lepidopteran clade Rhopalocera. The study focused on the lepidopteran insects and the diversity of the world. It presents the review of research imperfect data on specific knowledge in diverse agroecological zones. This study acknowledged investigating breaches in different countries of the world. It also provides information on lepidopterans as alternative food and financial source of the world. It also helps in the sustainable agricultural field.

Abstract

Doogh is a popular Iranian drink with high nutritional value and in recent years has attracted the attention of many consumers. Nowadays, the problems caused by malnutrition and lack of useful compounds with high nutritional value and increasing shelf life are essential in the food industry. This research was performed in Shirin Cheshmeh Dairy Production Company and all experiments were performed in the Food Control Laboratory of the Food and Drug Administration, Guilan University of Medical Sciences. In this study, olive leaf extract was added to doogh at five levels of zero, 0.2, 0.5, 1, and 2% and stored for 45 days, its physicochemical, microbial, and sensory properties at two refrigerators at 2°C and room temperature 25 ° C were evaluated. Sampling was analyzed on days 0, 15, 30, and 45 days in 3 replications with Duncan's statistical analysis. The effect of using different treatments and storage time on most characteristics showed a significant difference. This study showed that the effect of olive leaf extract on the pH, mold, and yeast of the treatments is decreasing and the percentage of acidity and serum volume is increasing. According to the hedonic method, the acceptability of treatment 2 on the 15th day of maintenance was higher. In general, according to the results, it can be said that the production of useful products with plant compounds can promote an effective step to produce and design useful drinks in the consumer market and food industry factories.

Abstract

Activated carbon is widely used as an adsorbent to remove numerous pollutants from water and wastewater. The cost-effectiveness of an adsorbent depends upon its ability to be reused. This study focuses on regenerating Millettia thonningii seed pods' activated carbon (MAC) saturated with Methylene Blue (MB) using acetic acid as a regenerating solvent and exploring its potential to be reused. The effects of the variables such as, the concentration of the regenerating solvent, contact time, and volume of regenerating solvent on the regeneration process were ascertained using the Box-Behnken experimental design, which is a sub-set of Response Surface Methodology. The regeneration process was evaluated based on the desorption capacity of the active carbon. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to characterize the surface of the saturated active carbon before and after regeneration.  Results revealed that the concentration of the regenerating solvent had the most significant synergistic effect on the regeneration process. The optimum conditions for the maximum regeneration of the spent activated carbon within the range of the variables studied were found to be: 8M acetic acid, 100 min, and 40 mL of acetic acid. The regenerated and pristine MAC when reused to adsorb fresh MB solutions (50 ml of 10mg/L MB: 0.2g adsorbent) had an adsorption capacity of 2.1912mg/g and 2.0977mg/g for MB respectively. Hence, the regenerated carbon outperformed the pristine active carbon. It could therefore be explored further as a recyclable adsorbent for wastewater treatment.

Abstract

This research focused on the level, pollution, and ecological risk assessment of selected heavy metals from agricultural soils at major roadsides in Nasarawa Eggon and Doma areas. Composite soil samples were collected at 0–20 cm depth, homogenised, and assayed for metal (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, U and Zn) levels using the X–ray fluorescence technique. Pollution and toxicity of the studied metals were determined by evaluating enrichment factor (Ef), geo–accumulation index (Igeo), contamination factor (Cf), degree of contamination (Cd), pollution load index (PLI), and ecological risk assessment (ERA). The result showed that concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe and Ni were lower than the average shale values, except for As of site N2 in the Nasarawa Eggon area and Fe of site D4 in the Doma area. The Ef suggests a significant anthropogenic contribution to the presence of As, Co, Hg, Mn, Pb and Zn in some of the sampled sites. The Igeo indicated that Nasarawa Eggon sampled soils were polluted by Hg and Pb while Hg and Co polluted those of Doma. The Cf values revealed that most of the soils were contaminated with Hg in addition to As, Co, Fe, Mn, and Zn in some sites. All sites have low Cd except N2 and N4 (Nasarawa Eggon) and D2 and D4 (Doma). However, PLI showed that only sites N2 and D4 were polluted. ERA revealed that As, Co, and Hg posed potential ecological risks ranging from low to a significant level in different sites. Sites N2, D2 and D4 showed a moderate ecological risk index. Therefore, this study showed significant anthropogenic inputs from automobile emissions and human activities to the pollution of agricultural soils along major roads and the pollution could pose negative health implications to human and animal health.

Abstract

Chitosan is one of the naturally abundant, biodegradable, and low-cost adsorbent materials for metal adsorption purposes. In this work, we evaluated the application of chitosan materials derived from seafood wastes in Depok beach, Yogyakarta, for an effective recovery of the palladium(II) ions. First of all, the seafood wastes were treated to obtain chitin and then followed by the deacetylation process to produce chitosan material with a deacetylation degree of 78.42%. The chitosan material was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer. It was found that chitosan gave high adsorption percentage (90%) for palladium(II) ions due to the complexation with hydroxyl, amino and carbonyl functional groups. The palladium(II) adsorption onto chitosan material followed the pseudo-second-order (R2 = 0.9978) and Langmuir (R2 = 0.9979) models for kinetic and isotherm experiments, respectively, with a maximum adsorption capacity value of 0.70 mmol g-1. The palladium(II) ions could be easily desorbed in 90% percentage using 1.0 M HCl solution from metal-laden chitosan to regenerate the adsorbent material. The chitosan-based adsorbent material did not lose its adsorption capability after three consecutive cycles with no significant structural change as revealed from the FTIR data. These results showed the potential application of natural chitosan materials derived from seafood wastes for the effective recovery of palladium(II) ions.

Abstract

The urgency of finding novel sources of active compounds to overcome infectious diseases is encouraged. Morel berry (Physalis angulata L.) is a traditional herbal plant that can be used as an antimicrobial because of its unique chemical content. This study aims to find compounds that have antibacterial activity from the chloroform fraction of morel berry roots. This study used the Kirby-Bauer method with concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. Determination of antibacterial compounds and their functional groups was performed using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) technique and reagent spray test, TLC-Bioautography and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) studies. The chloroform fraction of morel berry showed a zone of inhibition with the highest diameter of 11.50 and 12.00 mm against S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa, respectively. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins in the chloroform fraction. The relative retention stain of 0.54 on the TLC plate inhibited the growth of the two tested bacteria and indicated the presence of functional groups O-H phenol, C-H aliphatic, C=O ester, C=C aromatic, C-OH alcohol, and C-H aromatic. This study found that tannins in the roots of morel berries could be used as a natural antibacterial agent to treat S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa.
