Determining the Effect of Plant Leaf Mulching in Ginger on Yield and Soil Health at NICRA Village in Chatra District of Jharkhand, India| Chapter 3 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

 The study proposed to determine the Effect of Plant Leaf Mulching in Ginger on Yield and Soil Health at NICRA Village in Chatra District of Jharkhand, India. Mulching  is  the  process  or  practice  of top  the  soil/ground  to  make  timely  condition  for  plant growth,  growth  and  efficient  crop  result. The FLD experiment was conducted in 20 copy (Farmers field) in National Innovation on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) village Mardanpur in Arra Panchat of Chatra block in Chatra sector of Jharkhand on three ensuing year 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17. The FLD experiment was administered in randomized block design with 2000 m2 plot intensity for each mechanics option. The two science options are in this manner TO-I: (Farmers Practice) Burning of plant leaf in forest extent and use as cooking material and transplanting spirit in the month of May outside mulching accompanying N100P60K60. TO-II: Mulching of ginger field by plant leaf (5 q/ha) accompanying N75P40K45. The rationale  behind excerpt of technology alternative (TO-II) was disseminate experimental approvals i.e. cultivate land of ginger field to showed famers convincing the benefit of produce in the place of burning leaf in jungle area. For better understanding, data on soil synthetic analyses before and later mulching, yield, and commerce were recorded. On the footing of farmer tests, a matrix rating was performed each intermediary treatment. Participatory country assessment was used to constitute the matrix grade. Farmer’s reaction was measure in five point grade scale. The overall score reflecting the quality of favorable, ominous and neutral to the connected technology invasion (Negative = 2.5, Natural = 2.3 – 3.5 and positive above = 3.5). Result determined that on an average ginger yield was 144.83 q/ha in peasants practice where as in science option (TO-II), it was 187.7 q/ha individually. Return per rupee spent was further raise more in TO-II that is 4.99 as compare to peasant practice i.e. 3.88. Forest plant leaf that is generally secondhand by farmers as a browning material converted as the enrichment of land material in the district. This advice given sector line department NGOs and ATMA for prediction in the similar breeding community.

Application of Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction Method for Extraction of 6-Gingerol in Zingiber officinale Var. Rubrum | Chapter 5 | Current Overview on Science and Technology Research Vol. 6

 Gingerol is a compound found in red ginger that is used in medicine as an analgesic. Soxhlet extraction is a popular method for isolating gingerols, but it has its drawbacks. It requires a long process with unsatisfactory results. This study aimed to study the effect of ultrasonic frequency on increasing gingerol yield in the extraction process itself. Extraction times of 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes were examined as variables. Moreover, ultrasonic effects were observed at ultrasonic frequency variations of 40 and 50 kHz compared to the solvent extraction method. In this study, we used 70% (v/v) ethanol as the solvent and an operating temperature of 50 °C as a fixed variable. Additionally, a rotary vacuum evaporator was used at a pressure of 350 mmHg to separate the resulting gingerol extract. To determine total gingerol extractables, qualitative samples were analyzed using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and quantitative samples were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), brand Waters Alliance e2695. Analyzed using with X-Terra. RP18 column 100 x 4.6 mm, 5 µm. The results show that the ultrasonic power had a significant effect on the results obtained, with the highest recovery of 24.71% at an ultrasonic frequency of 50 kHz and an extraction time of 120 minutes.

Integrated Weed Management in Ginger (Zingiber officinale) for Higher Productivity in Plains of Assam | Chapter 8 | New Ideas Concerning Science and Technology Vol. 12

 During 2014-15 and 2015-16, a field experiment was conducted at the Assam Agricultural University's Instruction-cum-Research Farm in Jorhat district, Assam, India, to identify a suitable combination of ginger and cowpea intercropping, as well as various weed management practises, to effectively manage weeds in ginger. Since it is a widely spaced and long-lasting crop, growers have plenty of opportunities to use the available vacant space throughout the rhizome's early growth stage to plant any short-term leguminous intercrop. Four legume intercropping systems and four weed control practises were considered in a total of 16 treatment combinations. Legume crop intercropping Cowpea planted between rows of Ginger and incorporated at 40 days after sowing (DAS) or between alternate rows of Ginger and incorporated at 40 days after sowing (DAS) and pre-emergence application of Metribuzin 500 g ai ha-1 + hand weeding (HW) at 70, 100, and 140 days after planting (DAP) produced better ginger growth and rhizome yield.

Emphasizing the Chemical Profiling and Antibacterial Efficacy of Different Ginger Accessions from Uttarakhand | Chapter 2 | Current Perspectives on Chemical Sciences Vol. 9

 Natural compounds play a critical role in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Plant extracts have been used for a variety of purposes for many years, and are now being used as alternative medicines and food preservatives. Natural compounds have received a lot of attention in recent years, compared to synthetic compounds, because they have less or no side effects in therapeutics. The current study looks at the chemical composition and in vitro antibacterial activity of five ginger accessions obtained from various locations in Uttarakhand. PDB ID: 1QFE and PDB ID: 2VF5 are used to perform molecular docking between phytocompounds detected via GC-MS analysis and bacterial proteins. We can infer antibacterial activity regarding selected phytocompounds by comparing the scoring results of compositions in extracts of ginger rhizome with bacterial protein. The methanolic extract of ginger accession from Dharchula had good antibacterial effects, according to molecular docking analysis and antimicrobial tests. Despite their promise, the use of natural antimicrobials in food systems is restricted, primarily due to undesirable taste or aroma side effects. As a result, further research is required to determine the optimum levels of antibacterials that can be used safely in food systems without affecting sensory properties.
