| infant feeding and rearing practices in a rural community of western orissa. | infant rearing and feeding practices of 500 rural mothers in western orissa were studied. though all mothers accepted breastfeeding of babies as a matter of tradition, initiation was delayed in the majority of cases. 24.2%, 56.2%, and 13.6% of mothers began breastfeeding on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th days respectively postdelivery. diluted cow's milk (31.2%), boiled water (20.8%), sugar water (17%), and honey (8.6%) were used as prelacteal feeds. 94.2% of mothers breastfed their babies for more t ... | 1984 | 6480079 |
| pattern of rice cultivation and anopheline breeding in koraput district of orissa state. | the potentiality of rice fields in anopheline vector breeding in koraput district was studied in two agricultural seasons--rubi and kharif. altogether, 17 species were recorded from the rice fields. the terraced stream bed paddy-fields with a perceptible water flow in top-hill areas support heavy breeding of the principal vector a. fluviatilis at all stages of paddy growth. a. culicifacies and a. annularis breeding became scarce when the paddy plants reached a height of 80 cm. vector species for ... | 1991 | 1918870 |
| bio-concentration of chromium--an in situ phytoremediation study at south kaliapani chromite mining area of orissa, india. | mine waste water at south kaliapani usually contains toxic levels of hexavalent cr(vi). the present in situ study was conducted at south kaliapani chromite mine area in orissa state, india, to assess the phytoremediation ability of three plants, namely, rice (oryza sativa l.), paragrass (brachiaria mutica), and an aquatic weed (eichhornia crassipes), in attenuating cr(vi) from mine waste water and to correlate the bio-concentration factors (bcf) of cr. water hyacinth (e. crassipes) showed 24% to ... | 2012 | 21487717 |
| chromium bioaccumulation in rice grown in contaminated soil and irrigated mine wastewater--a case study at south kaliapani chromite mine area, orissa, india. | the level of chromium (cr) contamination in soils and irrigated mine wastewater at south kaliapani chromite mine region of orissa, (india) were investigated. chromium bioaccumulation in rice plants (oryza sativa l. cv. khandagiri) irrigated with cr+6 contaminated mine wastewater was analyzed along with its attenuation from mine wastewater. the levels of cr+6 in irrigated mine wastewaters in successive rice grown plots were analyzed on 75 days and 100 days after transplantation of seedlings. tota ... | 2017 | 21598771 |
| growth, yield and elemental status of rice (oryza sativa) grown in fly ash amended soils. | fly ash (fa) from coal in orissa (india) was used for amending soil at levels equivalent to 0, 1, 2.5, 5, 10 and 15 metric tons per ha in which, rice was grown and elemental residues of amended soil and plant parts were enumerated. fa amendments caused significant improvement in soil quality and germination percentage of rice seeds. growth (shoot length, leaf area and pigment composition) and yield (panicle length, seeds per panicle, seed weight and yield per plant) of rice increased with an inc ... | 2007 | 17253160 |
