Spectrophotometry and colorimetry are concerned with measuring light absorption and transmission in solutions. Spectrophotometry covers the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, while colorimetry focuses on the visible region. Beer's Law states that the absorbance of light is directly proportional to the concentration of an absorbing substance in solution. Absorbance follows the Beer-Lambert Law, which relates the intensity of transmitted light to properties of the absorbing medium. Atomic absorption spectrometry and atomic emission spectrometry are analytical techniques that use either absorption or emission spectroscopy to measure the concentration of elements in solutions.
How to grow Citrus Fruits: Planting, Growing, and Harvesting Lemon, Orange, M...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
Citrus trees are evergreen and can have both flowers and fruit at the same time, so they are treated a bit differently than other fruit trees. They store food reserves in their leaves and must therefore be protected from stresses that will cause leaf drop. Although the cycles are not as obvious as the cycles in temperate fruit trees, citrus trees go through different stages throughout the year.

The document summarizes the composition and structure of the Earth's layers. It describes the crust, mantle, and core based on composition, thickness, temperature, and density. The crust is the outermost solid layer and is divided into continental and oceanic crust. The mantle lies below the crust and is also divided into layers. Seismic wave measurements indicate the mantle transitions to a liquid outer core and solid inner core at the Earth's center.
1. The formation and evolution of the Solar System began about 4.57 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center to form the Sun, while the rest flattened into a protoplanetary disk from which the planets, moons, asteroids and other small bodies formed.
2. According to the nebular hypothesis, Earth formed about 4.54 billion years ago from accretion of planetary material in the solar nebula. Within the first 100-200 million years, early Earth had formed extensive oceans and seas.
3. Key events in the development of early Earth included the formation of its layered internal structure through the sinking of
The document discusses fundamentals of soil science. It defines key terms like pedosphere, pedon, and polypedon. The pedosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth composed of soil and subject to soil formation processes. A pedon is the smallest volume of soil recognized as an individual soil. A polypedon is a contiguous group of similar pedons that together define a soil individual. The document also summarizes the six key functions of soil and outlines the two branches of soil science - pedology and edaphology.
Physical chemistry of soil for PG studentsP.K. Mani
The document summarizes the Stern model of the electrical double layer at electrode-electrolyte interfaces. The Stern model proposes that the double layer consists of two parts - an inner compact layer where ions are firmly adsorbed, and an outer diffuse layer where ions are scattered in solution. The potential drops linearly within the compact layer and exponentially within the diffuse layer. The Stern model implies that there are two potential drops and that the interface can be represented as two capacitors in series. At high electrolyte concentrations, the diffuse layer is compressed and the interface capacity is equal to the compact layer capacity alone.
Nano Technology for UG students of AgricultureP.K. Mani
Nanotechnology has potential applications in precision agriculture by improving nutrient delivery and use efficiency. Nanofertilizers can increase solubility and bioavailability of nutrients through encapsulation, coatings, or by being nanoparticles. This allows for controlled or sustained release matching plant needs. Nanopesticides and nanosensors also aim to precisely target weeds or pathogens. However, further research is still needed to fully characterize nanomaterials and ensure their safe use in agricultural systems.
1. Sewage consists of solid sludge and liquid effluent portions. Both can be used for crop production but untreated sewage is not recommended for vegetables due to bacterial contamination.
2. India generates over 38,000 million liters of sewage per day but only around 12,000 million liters is treated, with most untreated sewage discharged into water bodies. Sewage sludge and effluent contain nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium that could potentially fertilize over 350,000 tonnes of crops annually.
3. Sewage use in agriculture requires proper treatment to reduce pathogens and heavy metals that could otherwise pollute soils and food chains.
This document provides an overview of agricultural waste management. It discusses the types and sources of agricultural waste, the impacts of waste, and approaches to managing waste, including the key functions of production, collection, transfer, storage, treatment, and utilization of waste. Treatment methods for agricultural waste include composting, recycling, and incineration. The waste hierarchy of reduce, reuse, recycle is also covered. Examples of agricultural waste streams and their potential uses from various crops are outlined.
Geomorphology at a glance: Major landformsP.K. Mani
Geomorphology, Major landforms, Genetic landform classifications, Volcanic landforms, River Systems and Fluvial Landforms, Aeolian Landforms, Glacial Landforms
The document discusses the history and development of ideas around the geologic time scale and theories of landscape evolution. It describes how early geologists like Cuvier proposed catastrophist ideas of abrupt geological changes, while later scientists like Hutton, Lyell, and Davis promoted uniformitarianism and the idea that landscapes slowly evolve over long periods through gradual processes like erosion and deposition. The debate between these views shaped the field of geomorphology and how geologists understand the formation of landforms and interpretation of the geologic past.
COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE OF SRI OVER TRANSPLANTED RICE IN TERMS OF YIELD A...P.K. Mani
The document compares the yield and soil properties of System of Rice Intensification (SRI) and traditionally transplanted rice. SRI resulted in 49% higher grain yield compared to traditional farming across several studies. SRI also improved water productivity by saving 30-40% irrigation water. Soil properties like nitrogen use efficiency, microbial activity, and root growth were significantly better under SRI. In conclusion, SRI outperformed traditional rice farming in terms of yield, water productivity, nutrient use efficiency and soil health.
Bioavailabilty and crop uptake of heavy metals from Sewage sludge P.K. Mani
Application of sewage sludge to agricultural soils can increase the concentration of heavy metals in soil and plants. A study found increasing rates of untreated sewage sludge application from 10 to 80 tonnes/hectare led to a corresponding increase in extractable zinc, copper, lead and cadmium levels in soil. Similarly, Chinese cabbage grown in soils amended with increasing rates of sewage sludge from 5% to 25% showed higher accumulation of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, copper, and zinc in leaves compared to the unamended control. Several soil properties and plant factors influence the availability and uptake of heavy metals from sludge-amended soils into food crops.

This document describes a long-term study on the effects of organic and inorganic inputs on phosphorus and potassium transformations in a rice-wheat cropping system in India. The study examined yield trends over 22 cycles, nutrient balances and distributions of phosphorus and potassium forms in the soil under different treatment combinations of organic and inorganic fertilizers. Key findings included higher yields and soil nutrient levels with the combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers compared to inorganic-only or control treatments.
Diversification of rice-based cropping system and their impact on energy util...P.K. Mani
The document evaluates different rice-based cropping systems in West Bengal, India. It finds that the rice-potato-lady's finger system (T4) produced the highest system yield and productivity, as well as the greatest net return and benefit-cost ratio. The rice-potato-sesame system (T3) had the highest energy productivity and fuel energy use efficiency. Overall, the document concludes that the best cropping systems were rice-potato-lady's finger and rice-potato-sesame.
