All the eight metals analyzed were detected as follows: The highest  concentration of Fe was obtained from cassava tuber from Onne with a value of 28.80 mg/kg; the level of Zn was highest in cassava tuber from Eteo with a value of 6.59 mg/kg; the level of Cu was highest in cassava tuber from Onne with a value of 1.23 mg/kg; Cd was highest in cassava tuber from Eteo, with a value of 6.89 mg/kg; the highest value of Ni occurred in cassava tuber from Eteo with a value of 5.67 mg/kg; the highest concentration of Pb occurred in cassava tuber from Ebubu with a value of 2.44 mg/kg; the level of Mn was highest in cassava tuber from Eteo with a value of 14.55 mg/kg and the highest concentration of Mg occurred in cassava tuber from Eleme with a value of 36.60 mg/kg. Pearson correlation matrix (PCM) for metal – metal concentrations in cassava tuber samples revealed that there were strong positive correlations between Fe and Cu (0.61) , Zn and Cd (0.78), and Ni and Cd (0.86). Other metals which showed positive correlations were: Fe and Zn (0.50), Pb and Zn (0.42), Ni and Zn (0.54), Pb and Zn (0.06), Pb and Cu (0.23), Pb and Cd (0.15), Mg and Cd (0.08), Ni and Mn (0.22), Mn and Ni (0.43), Mg and Mn (0.18). This indicates that these metals had a common source. A near – perfect negative correlation (R = - 0.99) existed between Mn and Pb, Ni and Cu (- 0.98) and Mg and Zn (- 0.98).<#LINE#>Manahan S.E.

This is the main constraint in the large scale cultivation of edible mushrooms like Oysters in this part of the country. As a consequence, ultimate yield of Oyster mushroom in Central India is adversely affected. Whenever, the crops fall prey to diseases, farmers try to control them by spraying some fungicides on them but in many cases they do not succeed. Basic understanding about the disease is a prior strategy to manage them. To safeguard the crop by various preventive and controlling measures which were elaborated by several workers with some basic aspects based on their research activity. Literature survey reveals that, the utility of imidazole substituted azoles in the fields of agricultural science and medicinal chemistry is ever-increasing. Owing to their importance in the field of agriculture as plant protecting and growth regulating agents, we thought it worthwhile to study the efficacy of newly synthesised heterocycles viz. 2-phenylamino-4-benzoyl-5-(2-hydroxy-5-chlorophenyl)-1,3-thiazole, 2-N-phenyl-N-[(2-hydroxy-5-chloro-phenyl)ethanonylamino]-4-benzoyl-5-(2’-hydroxy-5’-chlorophenyl)-1,3-thiazole, 2-[2-phenylthio-4-(2-hydroxy-5-chlorophenyl)imidazolo]-4-benzoyl-5-(2’-hydroxy-5’-chlorophenyl)-1,3-thiazole and 2-[2-phenylthio-4-(2-acetyloxy-5-chloro-phenyl)imidazolo]-4-benzoyl-5-(2’-acetyloxy-5’-chlorophenyl)-1,3-thiazole in the light of their significance towards growth promoting and disease controlling impact on Oyster mushroom crop. The results obtained in the present study are very encouraging.<#LINE#>Kumar A., Singh I., Kaur H., Kumar S., Lata S. and Kumar A.

Mango seed hard cover is having great potential for cellulose. Hence the present research paper focused on Mango seed hard cover as a source of Pulp and Paper industries. Developed Paper from mango seed using Flat sieve and Hand sheet press mould methods was compared based on Porosity, Thickness, absorbency, Tensile strength, etc. Physic chemical characteristics of paper were deliberated by optimizing organosolv process followed by bleaching.<#LINE#>N.

The ACwas prepared from sugarcane bagasse with ZnCl2as activating agent. Three preparing temperatures including 400oC, 500oC, and 600oC were investigated to compare the structural difference of the ACs. The properties of the ACsfabricated at these temperatures were determined using relevant techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X–ray diffraction (XRD), thermo–gravimetric analysis (TGA),Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorptionmeasurement.Characterization results showed that the maximum BET surface area of the AC is1502.1 m2/g at 500oC. XRD patternsand SEM micrographs revealed that the ACshave the amorphous structure and heterogeneous surface. IR spectra also proved the presence of functional groups O–H, O–N asymmetric and C–C aromatic in the carbon. Moreover, the maximum AC yield of 45.7% was achieved at 500oC.<#LINE#>Fine P. and Hadas E.
