This review canvasses about the potential of snail farming, its benefits & challenges, nutritional aspects, management and importance in reinforcing the economy and livelihood, especially of low income farmers. Keeping in view the time ahead demands of animal meant in Indian market, future possibilities and recommendations are also discussed in this review.

Pant Prabhat. The study was conducted to find out the interaction effect of pruning severity and plant spacing on growth, yield and profit. The treatments consisted of two plant spacing and seven pruning severity viz., One leaf pair shoot pruning (P1, OLP:);Two leaf pairs shoot pruning (P2, TLP); Three leaf pairs shoot pruning (P3, THLP); Thinning out of non-fruiting shoots + One leaf pair shoot pruning (P4, TNFS+OLP); Thinning out of non-fruiting shoots + Two leaf pairs shoot pruning (P5, TNFS+TLP); Thinning out of non-fruiting shoots + Three leaf pairs shoot pruning (P6, TNFS+THLP); Thinning out of non-fruiting shoots only (P7, TNFS) and no pruning (P0) as control. In this way there were eight treatments with sixteen combinations replicated four times each with two plants in one experimental unit. The annual increase in plant height, plant spread and plant volume were found maximum in unpruned plants (P0), while, the stem diameter was found maximum with treatment P4 (TNFS+OLP). The pruning severity had significantly decreased the per cent fruit set for rainy season crop and subsequently increased the per cent fruit set for winter season crop. The higher fruit yield was obtained with treatment P4 (TNFS+OLP) followed by treatment P1 (OLP). The unpruned plants (PO) produced lowest fruit yield in winter season. The highest benefit: cost ratio was calculated with the treatment P4 (TNFS+OLP) and 2.0 x 1.0 m plant spacing. Hence, for achieving higher winter season crop with maximum profit under high density plantation of guava, complete removal of non-fruiting shoots followed by one leaf pair shoot pruning of current seasons growth should be done during first week of May.

Based on relevant literature, this review evinces on role of SLs in stimulating the hyphal branching of AM fungi and various other plant development stages like seed germination, shoot branching, tillering, nodulation, root architecture, and highlights various researches carried out to support the role of SLs in regulating the plant growth under nutrient deficient conditions, drought and salt stress, ROS, temperature variations and, to some extent, biotic stresses for future agriculture. Versatile nature of SLs unwraps various possibilities for their enactment in future agriculture, however, a more comprehensive knowledge on signalling and regulation mechanisms is required to exploit the full potential.

Over use of chemical application and its effect on environment and human health could not be neglected any further. Residual effect of agrochemicals could be seen in both the terrestrial life and marine life. Future food demand must be achieved with better quality food, along with use of less toxic chemicals. Alternate practices like introduction of GMOs, precision agriculture and IPM must be put into practice, to lessen the load of chemical use. This review evinces the health hazards caused due to misuse and over use of agrochemicals and also talks about the contributing factors, of which poor education and extension system plays pivotal role. Improving the literacy among the farmers, strengthening the extension, training and involvement of media could provide scope for reducing vulnerability of farmers to health related issues caused by prolong exposure to the toxic chemicals

It is tissue-engineering technique, with goal to produce meat without slaughtering of animals in controlled laboratory conditions. Cultured meat manufacturing at industrial scale is expected to be economical, safe to environment and possessing high nutritional attributes as compared to conventional meat. This review aims to discuss, the concept of cultured meat production system and success achieved till date in this innovative process. Some potential barriers like technological hurdles, consumer attitude and a little historical overview has also been discussed in brief.

Based on relevant literature, this manuscript discusses the influence of Sound vibration in stimulating various growth and developmental parameters in plants like seed germination, root elongation, photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, yield, post harvest shelf-life, and also highlights various researches carried out to support influence of acoustic frequencies in defense, metabolism, cell cycle, and production of secondary metabolites, hormones and enzymes. Application of wide range of sound frequencies, infrasonic to ultrasonic, could provide myriad possibilities in advancement of future agriculture; however, a more comprehensive knowledge on signalling and regulation mechanisms is required to exploit the full potential.
