In the Tungabhadra project command, subsurface drainage is used to reclaim waterlogged saline areas, but its adoption is lower due to its high cost and highly skilled in nature. Irrigation water management could sustain high cane yields in mildly affected areas. A field experiment was conducted on waterlogged saline vertisols with sugarcane crops using surface drip, subsurface drip and furrow irrigation with water application...

A permanent cell line, SPB (Snubnose pompano brain) was established from Trachinotus blochii by the explant culture method. It has been sub‐cultured more than 75 passages and showed optimal growth at 28°C using L‐15 medium supplemented with 15% to 20% FBS. The SPB cells were cryopreserved at different passage levels for various applications. SPB cells were composed of fibroblastic and epithelial‐like cells. The SPB cells were...

The Tungabhadra irrigation command area (TBP) in Karnataka, India, has three scenarios: the head, mid and tail reach command areas. The head reach has ample good quality canal water availability, and the mid reach area has limited canal water availability. In recent decades, rice–rice monocropping in vertisols, especially by these head and mid reach farmers, has led to not only water shortages but also the development of water...
