ABSTRACT: The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatments consist of six sowing time (1st and 15th July, 1st and 15th august, 1st and 15th September) and four seed rate (2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 kg /ha. 1st august sowing combination with 5kg/ha seed rate and 15th July sowing combination with 5kg/ha seed rate recorded the highest total alkaloid yield in ashwagandha.

Key words: sowing time, seed rate, alkaloid yield.

ABSTRACT: A case of trypanosomosis was reported in a 3-year old male Rottweiler breed of dog in Abeokuta Metropolis, Nigeria. The dog was presented with clinical signs of epistaxis, bilateral corneal opacity, anorexia, vomiting brownish materials and recumbency. Haematological examination revealed high lymphocytes count, decreased red blood cells, Pack Cell Volume, haemoglobin concentration, MCH, MCHC and platelet count. Diagnosis was made using wet mount and Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the DNA using a primer set targeting the internal transcribe spacer 1 (ITS1) of rDNA, revealed single infection with Trypanosoma congolense. The dog was treated with a single dose of diminazene aceturate at the dose rate of 3.5 mg/kg body weight, intramuscularly along with the supportive therapy. The dog recovered 9 days post therapy.

ABSTRACT: The present study was conducted in Hisar district, Hansi, Barwala Block, and Fatehabad district Bhuna, Fatehabad Block and Sirsa district Baraguda, Sirsa Block of Haryana which was selected purposively on basis of highest area and production under Guava cultivation. Further, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa market were selected for the market study. Finally 60 growers from randomly selected two blocks from each district were selected for the present study. On the basis of the nature of the data, budgeting technique and various economic tools were used for estimation of marketing margins, marketing price spread and marketing efficiency. The establishment cost was slight higher in Fatehabad as compared to Sirsa and then Hisar which was due to better management of orchard the largest item of expenditure was cost of irrigation which was worked out in Hisar, Fatehabad, Sirsa as overall average cost of irrigation. The overall average operational cost of guava orchard increased from first year to seventh year. The overall average operational cost per hectare per annum from first to seventh years were found to be on plant protection, manures and fertilizers. The overall average net returns from the intercropping range from Rs. 39371 in the first year to Rs. 25438 per hectare during the fifth year of the orchard.
