This document discusses the importance of alternate hosts in crop pest management. It notes that alternate hosts can act as reservoirs for crop pests by providing food, shelter, and oviposition sites. Specific examples are given of weed species that serve as alternate hosts for pests of various crops like rice, cotton, horticultural crops, and more. Alternate hosts can also function as trap crops, natural refugia for Bt crops, and providers of food and shelter for beneficial natural enemies. While alternate hosts play several beneficial roles, their removal is not always advisable as it could also drive pests to infest crops. Careful management of alternate hosts is important for integrated pest management.

Hybridization between individuals from different species belonging to the same genus or two different genera, is termed as distant hybridization or wide hybridization, and such crosses are known as distant crosses or wide crosses.
In this presentation you will come to know about the HANDLING OF SEGREGATING GENERATIONS, that is (PEDIGREE METHOD, MASS PEDIGREE METHOD, BULK METHOD, SINGLE SEED DESCENT METHOD).
The weed seedbank is the reserve of viable weed seeds present on the soil surface and scattered in the soil profile. It consists of both new weed seeds recently shed and older seeds that have persisted in the soil for several years. Agricultural soils can contain thousands of weed seeds per square foot and understanding the factors impacting the dynamics of weed seedbanks can help in the development of integrated weed management (IWM) programs. Instead of solely considering crop yield loss, management could also include strategies to deplete the weed seed bank.

Indian diversified agro-climatic condition and increasing international trading in the era of globalization made India more vulnerable for introduction of different invasive insect pest species. Invasive alien species possess major threat to local biodiversity by competing with native species by unleashing in a higher number upon finding a favorable environment parameter. In the absence of natural enemy and in presence of suitable host exotic species will turn to stubborn major pest of economically important crops which is difficult to control.
This presentation takes you back through series of developmental stages from the discovery and application of entomopathogenic nematodes for use in agriculture.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

BREEDING METHODS FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE.pptxRASHMI M G
Plant breeding for disease resistance is a strategy to reduce crop losses caused by disease. Plants have an innate immune system that allows them to recognize pathogens and provide resistance. However, breeding for long-lasting resistance often involves combining multiple resistance genes
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

5. 1.Alternate hosts as reservoir for crop
pests
• Weed as a hosts for different insect and mite
pests
• Weeds-primary producers
• Weeds-alternative hosts for crop pests when the
crop is absent or is not in a phenological state
suitable for the pest.
• Weed used as alternative hosts are located in the
crop field, adjacent noncropped land or even
within the ecoregion, distant from the crop field.
Norris and kogan , 2005 5
6. • weeds can enhance or hinder arthropod fitness
within the crop field.
• Weed presence or absence may affect arthropod
survival- Crop canopy is suboptimal for the
arthropods.
• Weeds- Faster spreading of pest.

56. • Weeds differed in their ability to provide
additional food for Diadegma insulare, a
parasitoid of the Plutella xylostella ; wild mustard
(Brassica kaber), yellow rocket (Barbarea
vulgaris), and wild carrot (Daucus carota) were as
effective as honey-water mixture.

Idrius and graphius, 1995 56
57. • Lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) and
common sowthistle did not provide nectar,
but the parasitoid used honeydew from
aphids feeding on the weeds.
Norris and kogan, 2005

Chenopodium album
58. As host provider
• Several native parasitoids are developed from
host larvae that live on smooth pigweed
(Amaranthus hybridus).

66. • Burning weeds resulted in the migration of
blueberry maggot adults to production
blueberry fields.
Geddes.,1992
66
67. Natural enemies efficiency
• Prey eggs present in weed hosts may not be
recognised by parasitoids as like primary hosts
which results in fewer parasitized eggs.
• Percentage parasitization of the rice bug
(Leptocorisa oratorius) eggs laid on weeds
such as goosegrass (Eleusine indica) and jungle
rice (Echinochloa colona) was less than half
that of eggs laid on rice (Oryza sativa) plants .
Morrils and Almazon, 1990
67
68. • Redstem filaree (Erodium cicutarium) and desert plantain
(Plantago ovata) are suitable hosts for the beet
leafhopper (Circulifer tenellus), but its mymarid egg
parasitoid does not function well on these species, with
the result that inundative biocontrol releases do not work
well when these two species represent much of the
vegetation.
Al-Wahaibi and Walker, 2000.
68
Redstem filaree Desert plantain
69. • Interactions between soybeans and weeds
such as showy crotalaria (Crotalaria
spectabilis), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), and
Florida beggarweed (Desmodium tortuosum)
resulted in reduced rates of attack on prey by
Geocoris punctipes.
• Carabid beetles were caught in herbicide-
treated than in untreated weedy plots,
although there were more carabid and
staphylinid larvae in the weedy plots .
69
Norris and Kogan, 2005
70. • Problem in using as trap crop over population
development leads to field infestation.
• Using as dead-end crops is limited because of
lack of knowledge on more number of dead
end crops.

71. Conclusion
• Destruction of alternate hosts
• Trap crops
• Refugia
• Natural enemies conservation
• Dead end crops
• Two edged sword
