Article Synopsis
  • Significant government investment in agricultural conservation practices (ACPs) aimed at improving water quality is not fully effective, with ongoing issues of eutrophication and hypoxia in water bodies.
  • An overview of ten ACPs reveals differences in performance and cost-effectiveness, particularly in reducing sediment, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P), with only three ACPs effectively addressing all three constituents.
  • The article suggests that certain water management practices are notably effective in nutrient reduction, while others like conservation crop rotation show potential for economic benefits, underscoring the need for better financial prioritization and long-term monitoring to enhance outcomes.

White rust disease caused by a biotrophic oomycete is one of the most serious impediments in realizing the production potential of . Due to the obligate nature of the pathogen, R-gene-based resistance is unstable as the newer virulent races emerge quickly. For this, a deep understanding of the molecular basis of resistance is essential for developing durable resistant varieties.

The growing prevalence of phytoplasma associated symptoms on linseed or flax ( L.) germplasm at Indian Council of Agricultural Research- National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (ICAR-NBPGR) fields was noticed during the 2019-22 growing seasons. The characteristic phytoplasma symptoms of phyllody, stem fasciation, stunting, along with floral and capsule malformations were observed in 41 linseed accessions grown at experimental fields of ICAR-NBPGR, Delhi.

A new -(4-fluorobenzyl) -(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) dithiocarbamate ligand () having structural similarity to clinically approved antihistaminic drugs (. pheniramine, chlorpheniramine, and brompheniramine) and its four metal complexes [Co(fbpm)] (1), [Ni(fbpm)] (2), [Cu(fbpm)] (3), and [Zn(fbpm)] (4) were successfully synthesized and characterized by various techniques elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, HR-MS, NMR spectroscopy, and absorption and emission spectroscopy. Furthermore, complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
