The water use, yield and profitability in three cropping sequences (rice–capsicum–baby corn, rice–rice–baby corn and rice–rice) grown under a drip irrigation (DRI) layout were compared with that in a rice–rice system under surface irrigation (SI) in a rice‐dominated region of eastern India. The DRI could save 37% of irrigation water without affecting the yield in rice compared with SI. The DRI in the rice–capsicum–baby corn cr...

Crustacean aquaculture, dominated by shrimp, is a highly profitable food‐producing sector in the world. However, a variety of biotic and abiotic stressors can have adverse effect on the immune system of shrimp making them susceptible to diseases. Although a vertebrate‐like adaptive immune system is lacking in shrimp, an efficient innate immune system renders protection against invading pathogens. The innate immune system compr...
