Some commonly used methods include farm and home visits, demonstrations, meetings, printed materials, and audiovisual aids.
1. Early and late leaf spots are important fungal diseases of groundnut that cause significant yield losses ranging from 10-80%. (2) Early leaf spot is caused by the fungus Cercospora arachidicola and late leaf spot is caused by Passalora personata. (3) The pathogens survive in plant debris and infect via wind-blown spores, causing circular leaf spots with different characteristics for early and late infection.
This document discusses methods for identifying plant pathogens. Traditional visual examination can only identify damage after it has already occurred. More sensitive early diagnosis methods are needed to treat pathogens before irreparable damage. Modern methods like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serological techniques can identify pathogens before visible symptoms appear, allowing treatment before significant yield losses. These methods help identify the causal agent through DNA analysis and other laboratory techniques.
This document outlines the development of an integrated pest management (IPM) program for greenhouse tomatoes in Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe. It discusses the major insect and disease pests that affect greenhouse tomatoes and presents cultural, biological, and chemical approaches to control pests.

The Eternal Source for Values in EducationAnurag Jain
The Vedic system of education in ancient India had several key features:
1. Its ultimate aim was illumination and liberation through imparting both worldly knowledge (vidya) and spiritual knowledge (para-vidya).
2. It developed the student holistically - physically, intellectually, morally, and spiritually. Students studied subjects like the Vedas as well as arts, sciences, skills and spiritual practices like yoga and meditation.
3. Education was seen as a means to preserve and transmit the best cultural traditions while also promoting social efficiency and happiness. Students were trained for their vocations and expected to become useful members of society.
KP, the former head of the LTTE's arms procurement wing, believes that education is key to developing critical thinking skills, non-violence, and hope for the future. He regrets not taking education more seriously, saying it would have allowed him to think independently rather than be influenced by mass propaganda. Education, he argues, gives children the ability to discriminate between right and wrong, think critically about their lives, and fight against adversity with courage and determination rather than resorting to violence. It develops a more nuanced intellect powered by reason rather than emotions alone. KP is now focused on providing education to help children in Sri Lanka heal from trauma and transform their future prospects.
On 17th of September, I was invited by Hill Top School to their Career Seminar to make a presentation on Social Entrepreneurship as a career option. The seminar was attended by over hundred school children from classes 10 onwards and their parents.
Social Entrepreneurship, by many well meaning leaders across the world is being hailed as the next big global movement. Puny though I am, I wish to state that I resonate with this conviction. So, I deeply admire the initiative taken by Mrs. Puneeta Chauhan, The Principal of Hill Top School for taking a courageous step forward and introducing children and parents to vocations that matter to society. We all know that in Jamshedpur and perhaps in most parts of India, the only careers garnering respect are medical, engineering or MBA. As a refreshing departure from this ubiquitous trend, the other career options that were included in the seminar were Human Resources, Environment and Social Work.
While making the presentation I was inspired by a statement made by Lisa, our previous intern, in one of her blogs, “It’s time to make Social Entrepreneurship Sexy” In fact I wanted to give this as the title of my post but then I dropped the idea thinking that this would be too blasphemous. The plight of Amit Trivedi scares me
If Coke advertises it’s wares and so does Nike and Apple, I do not understand why Social Entrepreneurs must be media shy or not be media savvy and trendy. Especially so, when what we advertise is concerned with most basic amenities of life like drinking water, food and education. So in the presentation I tried to make social entrepreneurship look trendy and sexy, an enticing option for young minds and not a staid and serious affair. Which does not mean that we are flippant in any sense because we grapple with some of humanity’s most pressing problems.
The presentation, being one for school kids is especially designed for people who are listening to this topic for the first time. So it is a simplistic version, which naturally sacrifices the intricacies, subtleties and subversions of this field. Please treat this as a disclaimer, in case you don’t find any profound stuff, which I reserve for practitioners of the field.
Ultimately, show this to your children

The NEEV Soaps Branding Strategy has come out with their project report and I am sharing it with all of you with a great sense of happiness. I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to Saurabh Khatri, a dear friend and my junior from REC Kurukshetra who spearheaded the entire project out of his personal initiative despite pursuing his corporate job. I would like to thank our friend Ishita from FMS who helped us anchor the projects with FMS students. Ultimately, I would like to thank Indushree and Karan, the students of FMS, members of the NEEV Soaps Branding Strategy Team who came up with some wonderful ideas.
Reflecting the true spirit of Social Entrepreneurship wherein talented people come together to share their skills and talent for a noble and common cause, the NEEV-FMS partnership is another example of how work can be carried out with social capital instead of money capital. We hope to have a long and fruitful association with FMS.
I also hope that we can carry this movement to other colleges and increase our fraternity of brothers who would love to commit themselves to an ideal that goes beyond mere self-interest and become change agents, providing an ethical and spiritual leadership to the movement of Social Entrepreneurship.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
