The strong collaboration of ICAR with other stakeholders at grassroots level continued backstopping towards nation?s food and nutritional security despite of challenges such as biotic and abiotic stresses in agriculture and Covid pandemic. The major accomplishments of ICAR during 2021-22 are precisely presented in this document. The achievements are grouped into different themes. The release of 389 crop varieties, production of quality breeder seed and planting materials and promotion of agricultural exports marked the impact of ICAR technologies. While, the release of biofortified crop varieties, strengthening POSHAN Abhiyan, promoting startups and entrepreneurs in food processing especially in millets contributed significantly in enhancement of nutritional outcome. The climate resilience in agriculture was addressed by releasing resilient varieties, capacity building in new resilient villages, and revalidating agriculture contingency plans of 15 districts. In addition, chemical free agriculture, water footprint reduction, disruptive innovations for smart/precision agriculture summarizes R&D efforts for enhancing respective resource use efficiencies at field level. The major achievements in animal productivity and health management were documentation of indigenous animal breeds, cloning technology in breeding, feed supplement formulations, dairy technology, and Serosurveillance of animal diseases. The research breakthrough in aquatic sector is summarized in Blue Revolution. The innovations in farm and postharvest equipments, processing protocols, and storage are covered under mechanization and reduction of post-harvest losses. During the period, the agricultural education was strengthened through revision of UG and PG course curricula, quality assurance in higher agricultural education and enhancement in number and amount of scholarships. Further, approval of road map for the implementation of New Education Policy 2020 and constitution of a committee for developing syllabus and curricula on natural farming were the efforts to align agricultural education with National Educational Policy. The Lab to Land outreach by KVKs helped ICAR to reach the unreached through establishment of new KVKs, conduct of FLDs, skill development trainings, extension activities, and supply of large quality of seeds and planting materials. Besides, documented ~71000 success stories of farmers towards Doubling of farmers? income. Effective use of ICT in decision making and marketing of farm produce for empowering farmers is summarised under digital linkage with farmers. The document is an effort to provide a glimpse of ICAR?s R&D achievements during year 2021-22 under the guidance and supervision of Dr. T. Mohapatra, former Secretary, DARE and DG,ICAR and support of Dr. Himanshu Pathak, Secretary, DARE and DG, ICAR. The inputs from all the SMDs/Units are duly acknowledged with thanks to all the DDGs/ADGs and concerned personnel.

Design-Operation Interactions at Large Treatment Plants deals with the different plans and designs to improve large treatment plans, the feasibility of these plans, the problems they might entail, and the solutions for current and prospective problems these treatment plants may face. The book shows the possible new directions that treatment plants may go to through assessment, planning, and new technology, as well as the the design for the treatment plants and the many considerations to be kept in mind in designing of one. Also included is an instructional guide on the functions an importance of the different parts of the treatment plant, the specific problems and their solutions, and improvements that can be done to it. The text is recommended for engineers and planners working in treatment plants, those in charge of sanitation and urban development and improvement, government agencies who wish to evaluate and even propose plans of building a treatment plant, and environmentalists who wish to know more about the treatment plant.

Determination of Metals in Natural Waters, Sediments and Soils provides analytic labs with a comprehensive overview of the various methods available for analysis of metals and serves as a manual to determine metal concentrations in different media such as natural waters, waste waters, sediments and soils. The book begins with a discussion of sampling techniques and preservation and then covers metals in rivers, surface ground and mineral waters and metals in aqueous precipitation. It concludes with detailed information on analysis of metals in sediments. Determination of Metals in Natural Waters, Sediments and Soils provides a foundation for informed action by environmental interest groups and regulators and a starting point for further study by graduate students, professionals, and researchers.

This book provides a comprehensive approach to lameness diagnosis, and focuses on the importance of clinical examinations and diagnostic analgesia. It allows for accurate diagnosis of equine lameness to be made more quickly and effectively by differentiating between different horses and their activities. Detailed descriptions of diagnosis include the common problem of what to do when a diagnosis cannot be met. Musculoskeletal dysfunction is discussed as a cause of poor performance and the management of a broad range of conditions causing gait abnormalities are included.

Helping you to apply many different diagnostic tools, Diagnosis and Management of Lameness in the Horse, 2nd Edition explores both traditional treatments and alternative therapies for conditions that can cause gait abnormalities in horses. Written by an international team of authors led by Mike Ross and Sue Dyson, this resource describes equine sporting activities and specific lameness conditions in major sport horse types. It emphasizes accurate and systematic observation and clinical examination, with in-depth descriptions of diagnostic analgesia, radiography, ultrasonography, nuclear scintigraphy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, thermography, and surgical endoscopy. Broader in scope than any other book of its kind, this edition includes a companion website with 47 narrated video clips demonstrating common forelimb and hindlimb lameness as well as gait abnormalities.

Cytologic and hematologic evaluations are important primary diagnostic activities for veterinarians. Approximately 50% of samples are processed on site in the veterinary office; that number is growing, as veterinarians seek to bring more laboratory revenue to their practices. In doing so, however, it is important for veterinarians and staff to understand correct collection and handling procedures to avoid costly errors and make accurate diagnoses. DIAGNOSTIC CYTOLOGY AND HEMATOLOGY OF THE HORSE is a practical reference that presents common clinical findings in an easy-to-use text/atlas format. Following a general chapter on sample collections and techniques, the remainder of the book takes a "systems" approach, followed by chapters on specific types of fluid. Within systems chapters, normal findings are presented first. Then, abnormal findings are presented by "class" of problems, such as bacterial lesions, fungal lesions, parasitic lesions, and so on, in the case of the eye. Algorithms (flow charts) on sample evaluations enhance text discussions by guiding readers to the most likely cytologic diagnosis. In addition, there is a colour plate section featuring 64 illustrations for quick viewing and comparing cell types and infectious agents. The detailed index will aid utilization of this edition as a quick photographic and textual reference.

Differential Growth in Plants contains the papers presented at Symposia 2.04 ""Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Development"" and 2.14 ""Movements Based on Differential Flank Growth"" at the XIV Botanical Congress held in Berlin during July 1987. Organized into 10 chapters, this book begins by explaining the differential growth in plants. Some chapters follow on the biophysics of differential growth; the phototropic behavior of hypocotyls and coleoptiles in connection with the distribution of indole-3-acetic acid and of growth-inhibiting substances within them; and the differential growth and hormone redistribution in gravireacting maize roots. Other topics explained include plant movements caused by differential growth; genetic analysis of tropic responses; growth and bending of a cylindrical structure in terms of the distribution of relative growth rates; and differential growth resulting in the specification of different types of cellular architecture in root meristems. This book also elucidates the curving and twinning of stems, as well as the spatio-temporal analysis of flower ontogenesis.
