A total of 60 patients (50 males, 10 females) underwent USG and MRI. USG was done using high frequency probe (9-14 Hz) and all the injuries noted. USG of the normal knee was done for comparison. MRI with trauma protocol sequences was done on the same day. The accuracy of USG and MRI in diagnosis of menisco-ligamentous injuries was compared. Majority of the patients (50%) belonged to age group of 21-40 years. Most common injuries seen were medial meniscal tear followed by medial collateral ligament injury. The strength of agreement between USG and MRI was good with Diagnostic accuracy of USG ranging from 83.3% ...

The present study on severity of Alternaria leaf spot of brinjal in Kashmir valley was conducted during kharif 2016. An extensive survey was conducted in three districts of Kashmir valley viz., Anantnag, Baramulla, and Budgam revealed that disease was prevalent in all the three districts with mean disease incidence and intensity of 30.76 and 9.77 per cent, respectively. The maximum disease incidence of 38.68 and intensity of 14.07 per cent was observed in district Budgam and minimum disease incidence of 21.73 and intensity of 5.88 per cent was observed in district Anantnag.

Keissler was studied under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. The results revealed that, A. alternata can grow at wide range of temperatures between 15-30oC; with 26-28oC as the most favoured temperature range. The pathogen required high relative humidity (> 90 %) for optimum growth and sporulation. Microscopic observations revealed that the pathogen bear hyaline, septate and irregularly branched mycelia, hyphae of an average width 3.50 μm (range 1.50-7.30 μm), short or long conidiophores arising singly or in groups of 2-6 from host tissue, and 48 x 14 μm sized conidia borne in long chains of 10 or more bearing 2-10 septa. Artificially inoculated healthy fruits of bottle gourd expressed the typical symptoms of water soaked lesions which turned brown within 2-3 days. The fungicide mancozeb (0.25 %) was found most effective with 100 % inhibition of pathogen, in vit...
