    Abstract Presence of Zn deficiency in soils and its subsequent management forms the basis of the present investigation. To find out the optimum dose and frequency of Zn application a field experiment was conducted by taking fou graded doses of Zn applied in phasing through three frequencies upto 5 year to a rice-rice cropping system grown in an Inceptisols of central farm,OUAT,Bhubaneswar,Odisha. Zinc fractionation study was conducted in initial and post harvest soil to address the possible fate of Zn application on various Zn pools and on yield of rice – rice cropping system. Results after five cropping cycles revealed that rice crop responded to Zn application both to increasing dose and frequency of Zn by producing highest mean grain yield of 4.3 t/ha as well as cumulative yield of 21.3 t/ha in the treatment of every year Zn application @ 5 kg/ha with highest gross return of 1.33 per rupee investment. Highest response of 37% over no Zn application was observed in the same treatment. Among the soil Zn pools affected by Zn application was organic and amorphous oxide bound forms. Residual fraction constituted the highest percent of total Zn among all fractions. Nominal increase in DTPA extractable Zn in post harvest soil under every year Zn application was noticed. Hence for rice growing lowland soils of Odisha application of small dose Zn@ 5 kg/ha every year to the first crop of a rice-rice cropping system can produce a sustainable yield upto 5 year without any adverse effect on soil.

    Abstract Production of quality fruits has always been the priority for ensuring better nutrition and market value. Considering the role of potassium in fruit quality improvement a study was carried out in dragon fruit under open field condition during 2020 and 2021 in the eastern tropical climatic condition of India. The treatments comprised viz., K-absentia as control (T1), K 50 g hill⁻¹ year⁻¹ (T2), K 100 g hill⁻¹ year⁻¹ (T3), K 200 g hill⁻¹ year⁻¹ (T4), K 300 g hill⁻¹ year⁻¹ (T5), K 400 g hill⁻¹ year⁻¹ (T6) and K 500 g hill⁻¹ year⁻¹ (T7). Application of K @300 g hill⁻¹ year⁻¹ exhibited the maximal acquisition of minerals such as N, P, K, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu in shoot and fruit pulp of dragon fruit. However, calcium did not exhibit a discernible trend. However, excessive dose of K (500 g hill⁻¹year⁻¹) resulted in declination in mineral acquisition. K 300 g hill⁻¹ year⁻¹ (T5) also demonstrated enhanced absolute fruit growth rate, maximal yield, marketable yield, fruit weight, color attributes, bio-chemical attributes such as TSS, carbohydrate, reducing sugar (∼20%), protein, citric acid, ascorbic acid content (∼2 times). Additionally, the same treatment also manifested an enhancement in biochemical attributes such as betacyanin (∼2.2 times), total phenol (∼55%), total flavonoid (∼2.7 times), α-amylase and sucrose synthase activities, and antioxidative property (FRAP activity). Principal component analysis (PCA) illustrated the maximal proximity of most of the variables (quality attributes and mineral nutrient contents) with T5 (K 300 g hill⁻¹ year⁻¹), exemplifying it as the best representative of all the studied variables.

    Abstract Sea Surface Temperature is an Essential Climate Variable used in oceanographic and meteorological application studies such as air-sea interaction, ocean mixing, boundary layer processes, and ocean state forecast, which require high temporal resolution SST. Indian geostationary satellite INSAT-3D imager has been designed to provide such information at 30 min intervals, 4 km spatial resolution along with several other parameters over the North Indian Ocean. In this study, the 30-minute interval INSAT-3D SST and its diurnal variability are validated (inter-compared) with collocated in-situ buoy measurements and compared with contemporary MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer SST observations. A reasonable agreement exists between the INSAT-3D and in situ data with a correlation coefficient of 0.70 and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 1.28 °C. This relationship is better for the daytime observations and during the pre and post-monsoon seasons, while the relationship is relatively weaker for the nighttime and monsoon seasons with remarked imprints from convective processes in the upper oceans. For the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal regions, the INSAT-3D SST shows better correlation and negative bias in comparison with in situ observations, while it is weaker with positive bias for the Equatorial Indian Ocean. Inter-comparison with MODIS Aqua/Terra day and night passes SST also shows a similar relationship, however with a much-improved correlation coefficient (∼0.95) and highly consistent in spatial and temporal variability with a cool bias of 0.14 °C. INSAT-3D SST shows a significantly high average diurnal temperature difference of 2.24 °C, whereas buoys show 0.54 °C. These high RMSE and diurnal variability results suggest that INSAT-3D SST retrieval can be improved to study the many oceanographic processes such as eddies, fronts, and estimation of air-sea fluxes. Therefore, this study helps to improve the retrieval algorithm of INSAT-3D SST, by developing the region-specific regression coefficients along with data merging and assimilation techniques.

    Abstract Coral reefs are fragile and endangered ecosystems in the tropical marine and coastal environment. Thermal stress due to marine heat waves (MHW) could cause significantly negative impacts on the health conditions, i.e., bleaching of the coral ecosystem. The current study is an attempt to quantify the intensity of coral bleaching in the Andaman region in recent decades using the intensity of marine heat wave (IMHW) estimated from satellite measured sea surface temperature (SST). A linear regression model was developed between IMHW and in situ observations of percent coral bleaching (PCB) which has the slope 7.767 (of IMHW unit) and intercept (- 141.7). Further, an attempt was also made to establish the relationship between PCB and the ratio between the remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) at 443 and 531 nm to upscale the percentage of coral bleaching at synoptic scales. A significant positive correlation between the PCB and band ratio index was found (R

    Abstract Soil health mapping in the state of Odisha aimed at improving crop productivity and thereby the rural livelihoods of those depending on the agrarian economy. The activity began with the collection of 40,265 representative soil samples using stratified random sampling across 30 districts. This was a first of its kind, systematic exercise aimed at diagnosing soil fertility- related constraints in the state in order to ascertain macro and micronutrient deficiencies and develop practical recommendations for scaling-out.

    Abstract Soil acidity is a serious constraint to crop production in many regions of the world including India. Acidic soils in India are mainly prevalent in the humid Southwestern, Northeastern and Himalayan regions (Maji et al. 2008). They are particularly acute in the humid tropical regions that have been subjected to severe weathering. In India, about 48 m ha out of 142 m ha of arable land are affected by acidity, of which 25 m ha have pH below 5.5 and 23 m ha have pH between 5.6 and 6.5 (Mandal 1997). Strongly acidic and moderately acidic soils cover 6.24 m ha (1.9%) and 24.41 m ha (7.4%), respectively of the country’s total geographic area (Maji et al. 2012). In the Northeastern region, approximately 95% of the soils are acidic and nearly 65% have strong acidity with pH below 5.5 (Sharma and Singh 2002). Acidic soils of Odisha account for 70% of its total geographical area (Jena 2008). A similar finding was reported in Odisha by Nanda et al. (2008) based on the analyses of 1,219,000 soil samples. A recent study conducted by ICRISAT found that of the 40,265 soil samples analysed, more than 80% were acidic in nature

    Abstract During November–December 2015, very heavy rainfall caused severe flood in Southern Tamil Nadu that resulted in severe damages with huge economic losses as per news agency Times of India. Remote sensing data from Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and Landsat-8. Operational land imager (OLI) images together with ancillary information such as rainfall and demographic data were used in the current study to assess the extent and impact of flooding. The SAR data are used to map the flood or inundation zones. Landsat-8 OLI is used to extract built-up area affected by the flood employing three methods: built-up area extraction method (BAEM), BAEM with Enhanced Built-up and Bareness Index (EBBI), and modified Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) approach. The classification accuracies obtained for these three approaches were 89, 83.5, and 78% for BAEM (using EBBI), BAEM, and NDBI, respectively. Aerial comparison of built-up area extracted using BAEM (using EBBI) shows the best accuracy with respect to the built-up area obtained from very high-resolution imagery. This extracted built-up area BAEM (using EBBI) method was used to estimate the extent of inundation covering the built-up area. Further the flooding risk at village level was assessed using the population density and flooding area. Built-up area extracted was also overlaid with flooding area to highlight actual built-up areas under risk due to flood.
