Mata Gujri Mahila Mahavidyalaya also known as Mata Gujri College is an autonomous college located in Jabalpur. The college was established in the year 1994 and named after the mother of Guru Gobind Singh, Mata Gujri.
Red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata f. rubra) belongs to Brassiceae family, is an important exotic and cool season vegetable. The experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) seasons 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 at the Experimental Farm, Mata Gujri College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab to assess the effect of different doses of nitrogen with various bio-pesticides. Various nitrogen doses along with Trichoderma harzianum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and neem cake were used as bio-pesticides. Trichoderma harzianum and Pseudomonas fluorescens multiplied very well in gunny bags on farm yard manure in the shade. Water was sprinkled on the gunny bags on a daily basis for 15 days and the microbial population had grown to the point where it was ready for soil application. The treatment N2B2 (125 kg N/ha + Pseudomonas fluorescens @10 g/kg FYM) gave maximum equatorial diameter (15.48 cm), polar diameter (17.80 cm), head yield/plant (1.50 kg), head yield/plot (36.08 kg), biological yield (2.27 kg/plant), harvest index (67.01%), total soluble solids (7.64°B), titratable acidity (0.299%), vitamin A (277.82 mg/100 g), vitamin C (52.25 mg/100 g), shelf life (19.86 days), physiological loss in weight (8.83%), anthocyanin content (34.50 mg/100 g) and moisture content (97.66%). Thus, it was rated as the best treatment resulting in maximum head yield/ha (146.18 q/ha).

Excessive dependence on chemical fertilizers in perennial fruit crops often results in declining soil fertility and reduced microbial activity, highlighting the need for sustainable nutrient management strategies. The present study evaluated the impact of integrated nutrient management (INM) on yield attributes, economic returns, and soil nutrient status in guava. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with eight treatment combinations and three replications. Treatment means were compared using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at P < 0.05. Treatments comprised different levels of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF; 50
ABSTRACT Water pollution has become a global health threat. According to WHO estimates, unsafe water is responsible for approximately 1.4–3.5 million deaths annually. Microbial pollutants and resistant organic dyes are frequently not successfully removed by conventional wastewater treatment methods. In addition, coliform bacterial pollution can turn water into a vector for disease transmission, increase organic and nutrient loads, and accelerate antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, to overcome these problems, we present the synthesis of a new copper‐metal‐ion‐based co‐crystal (CuCoXtal), which exhibits the ability to reduce dyes and 99% antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . When exposed to UV light, this cocrystal shows exceptional photocatalytic activity, efficiently degrading a range of dyes from textile effluents, including methylene blue, methyl orange, trypan blue, and congo red. At pH 8.5, degradation efficiency increases significantly, indicating that alkaline media generate more reactive oxygen species (ROS), than neutral (pH 7) or acidic (pH 5.5) conditions. Furthermore, a CuCoAXtal@PAM polyamide membrane was successfully fabricated and degraded methylene blue under UV light within 30 min. In addition to its photocatalytic activity, the fabricated membrane serves as an advanced wastewater treatment material that degrades dyes, disinfects, and detoxifies wastewater in a single step.
