The treatments were; three plant densities viz., 3,33,333 plants/ha (100% of recommended plant density; P1); 4,16,666 plants/ha (125% of recommended plant density; P2), and 4,99,999 plants/ha (150% of recommended plant density;P3) in main plots, and three nutrient doses viz., 18.75–37.5–22.5 NPK kg ha−1 (75% of recommended nutrient dose; F1), 25-50-30 NPK kg ha−1 (100% of recommended nutrient dose; F2), and 31.25–62.5–37.5 NPK kg ha−1 (125% of recommended nutrient dose; F3) in sub-plots, and replicated thrice. The same sets of treatments were tested under both check basin irrigation and drip fertigation. The data were analyzed using split plot design. Pod yield, haulm yield, and net returns were significantly higher with P3 as compared to P1 under check basin irrigation but only haulm yield was found significantly higher with P3 under drip fertigation. Under check basin irrigation, NH4–N, NO3–N, and available P and K in soil were found in the order P1 > P2 > P3 (p < 0.05) while in case of drip fertigation, differences were significant only for available K which was significantly higher in P1 over both P2 and P3. Under check basin irrigation, F2 i.e., application of 100 percent of recommended nutrient doses, being at par with F3, significantly improved pod yield, haulm yield and net returns over that with F1 however, differences were not significant under drip fertigation. NH4–N, NO3–N and available P and K in soil under both the irrigation systems were in the order F3 > F2 > F1 (p < 0.05).

Head injury is the number one cause of trauma mortality and it is directly associated with one half of all deaths associated with trauma. Traumatic acute subdural Hematoma is one of the most common traumatic neurosurgical emergencies and often required surgical intervention. This clinical study was done to examine the hospital mortality and analyse the risk factors for mortality in patients treated surgically for isolated traumatic acute subdural Hematoma. Material and methods: Prospective evaluation of 82 operated cases of ASDH was done. Data was collected from case files and operative records. CT scan variables, clinical variables and operative variables were evaluated. Results: overall mortality was 30.49%. Male mortality was 31.25% and female mortality was 27.78%. High mortality with advanced age. No clinically significant difference in mortality due to different mechanism of injury. Other significant mortality indicators were pupillary reaction, midline shift, diffuse edema and hypotension. Conclusion: The overall mortality of 30. 49% was within the predicted range as per recent literature. Age of the patient, pupillary reaction, Hematoma thickness, midline shift and evidence of diffuse brain swelling during surgery were found to be independent predictors of mortality. This findings may allow for more informed decision making in approaching a particular case.
