The book begins with - Introduction, which deals with the concept
of research methodology. Second includes details on collection of
data, followed by sampling techniques. four enumerates sample size
calculation. Basic concept of probability is provided in five,
whereas, in six hypothesis formulation is discussed in detail.
seven will give an insight on how to write a research proposal/
project with an example. In eight writing a scientific research
paper, how to write a review paper, methods of presenting research
outcome using oral presentation, poster presentation and ethics in
research are discussed. At the end of this , some of the words
which are commonly misused are pointed out. nine is all about the
methods deal in data presentation using table, graph, figure etc. A
is also devoted to selected bibliography, which may be helpful for
further reading. The book is written considering the requirements
of the students offering research methodology at under and
postgraduate levels. This book will be attractive to researchers
needing familiarity with research methods. The methods described in
this book are made user's friendly so that even general readers
will find this book useful.
Techniques related to various physiological phenomenon are subject
of tremendous interest and importance to plant physiologist,
agronomist, horticulturist, ecologist, and biochemists. This book
is intended to provide recognized methods related various plant
processes in a comprehensive form. Techniques on crop physiology
such as hydroponics and plant nutrition, test for various stresses,
water potential and water flow in plants, canopy gas measurements
(Photosynthesis, Respiration and Transpiration), basic equations
for growth studies and methods for estimations of plant products,
microclimate. Efforts were also made to incorporate the topic like
Climate Change and theory of phytotron as well as rhizotron in this
book. The book will make the reader familiar with latest procedure
to elucidate the problems. The validity of the results based on
fundamentals principles of physics. This book is meant to be used
in conjunction with a standard text of plant physiology though
elementary principles relating to the techniques are briefed. The
subjects on hormones, tissue culture and seed technology are useful
for students. Hope this book shall serve the need of students,
teachers and researchers.
The book is a reference book useful for undergraduates,
postgraduates and research scholars of biological, ecological and
medical sciences. The purpose of writing this book is to provide an
accessible reference book on statistical techniques whose proper
use will help students in withdrawing accurate results and able to
interpret them logically. The methods described in this book are,
of course, the same as those used in different disciplines, but
things are made so user's friendly that even general readers will
find this book useful. The s of the book have been organized in
such a way that suits the course curriculum of various
universities. In this book enough materials are provided to cover
statistical techniques with examples which are ecological and
biological based.
Immunology is the study of immunity or immune system, the system
which is involved in the protection of the body from various types
of infections. When a foreign substance invades the body, the body
evokes various mechanisms to protect itself. To comprehend the
subject like immunology, it is essential to study it in its all
aspects. This book is a unique approach to understand the
fundamentals and emerging trends of immunology in a very simple and
self-explanatory form. The book is divided into twenty s covering
all important areas of immunology which are essential for proper
understanding of the subject. Besides covering fundamental concepts
of immunology, there is a separate on Immunotechniques which are
commonly used in laboratories. A comprehensive Glossary of
important terms has also been included in the book for quick
reference.
The objective of this book is to provide state-of-the-art
knowledge, and highlight the current developments taking place in
biological sciences. The book encompasses topics on prokaryotic
cyanobacteria to higher plants, distributed in fourteen s for the
benefit of graduate and post-graduate students as well as young
researchers and scientists. Subjects covered include molecular and
biochemical diversity of microbes, stress biology, cyanotoxins,
antimicrobial activity of drugs originated from plants, natural
bioactive compounds of microbial origin, detection approaches for
genetically modified crops, genomics and proteomics. The book
provides an insight for future perspectives in particular field
with extensive bibliographies at the end of each . With all these,
this book becomes highly useful and must-read for students,
researchers and professionals in botany, biotechnology,
bioinformatics, environmental sciences, agriculture, molecular
biology and other streams of biological sciences.
The papers included in this book have a broad coverage of the
topics related to new technologies in functional foods and
nutraceuticals, fruits and vegetables and their by-products as
valuable ingredients for functional foods and nutraceuticals,
potential bioactive components from various food sources, trends
and development of nutraceuticals and functional foods as well as
functional food and nutraceuticals as ingredients in the value
addition for health promotion, standardization and quality control.
This compilation helps to overcome the problems faced in exploring
the potential of nutraceuticals in naturopathy and device
strategies to encounter such problems.
This Laboratory Manual has been designed for students for easy
understanding of basic plant pathological laboratory techniques
related with Isolation of pathogen. Preservation of disease sample,
Demonstration of Koch.s postutlates. Study of different groups of
fungicides and antibiotics. Preparation of fungicides. Methods of
application of fungicides. Bio-assay of fungicides, Bio control of
plant pathogens and Identification of some important fungal
pathogens. The book is fully colour book with digitized images have
been made to identify diseases and pathogens with explanations of
new terminologies to enhance students understanding about the
subject. The book will be useful to beginners, students,
instructors, scientists and research workers in the field of Plant
Pathology and Agricultural Microbiology.
This is books covers the entire course contents as per the revised
syllabus of ICAR for students of agrometeorology. Written in simple
and understandable language; fully supported by figures, diagrams,
equations and formulas to help the beginners. In short the book is
a must for beginners in its field
In the entire book efforts has been made to explain the practical
application of modern ICTs for transfer of agriculture
technologies. I have focused on systematic presentation of various
ICT tools with their applications by different organizations. Deep
understanding of modern ICT tools and techniques would enable
extension workers, scientists, teachers, students and researchers
to work efficiently for wellbeing of the farming community. The
book will prove useful and informative for officials of government
and non-government organizations working for transfer of
agriculture technology; teachers and students of agriculture and
allied sectors; Officials of Krishi Vigyan Kendras and agriculture
universities; Scientist and researchers of agriculture extension
and rural development. Overall the book is constructive for
Teaching, Research and Extension in the agriculture and allied
fields.
