The forest area located in Gavilgad hills in the north and Ajanta hills in south of the district. Dnyanganga take it name from the river Dnyanganga which flows through it. The Buldhana district is located in the northern part of Mahrashtra. The forest covers an area of 1151.83 sq. Km. In the Dnyanganga forest range many villages situated on the bank of river i.e. Botha forest range, Matargaon forest range, Borala range. Dnyanganga forest is divided into Buldhana, Motala and Khamgaon these are the three talukas of district. Dnyanganga reservoir is one of the most important reservoirs of Vidarbha region of near Khamgaon of Dist. Buldhana. Algal samples were collected at weekly intervals from August 2014 to September 2014. Acid washed collection bottles were used for the collection of algal samples. Floating, planktonic, submerged and attached epiphytic algal samples were collected. In present study 75 species under 42 genera have been identified and recorded. Algal members belonged to Chlorophyceae, Charophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Cyanophyceae were recorded.  Cholorophyceae  group  was  found  dominant  which  is  followed  by  Cyanophyceae, Bicillariophyceae  and  Charophyceae. Algal flora of four different sites of the reservoir is rich and it is found in diverse form

The aim of this research was to evaluate the color, content in tomatoes that is lycopene.Lycopene is a carotenoid that has antioxidant properties and imparts the red pigment in some fruits and vegetables. It is a pigment principally responsible for the characteristic deep-red color of ripe tomato fruits and products.  In this research desi variety and hybrid variety of tomato plats were  treated with various fertilizers and  effect  of fertilizers on content of tomato was esimated.  Tomato paste prepared from tomato cultivated from Deulgaon Raja region  was dehydrated with methanol, then lycopene was extracted with methanol-carbon tetrachloride mixture. Pure lycopene was obtained by twice crystallization of crude product from benzene through addition of boiling methanol. Further purification was achieved using column chromatography with alumina as the adsorbent.  Average quantity of extracted pure lycopene was calculated as in desi variety, Lycopene content values for treatment of various fertilizers are Urea(5.2), Super phosphate(6.5), Potash(7.2), Cowdung(10.5), Polutry manure(12.5), Control(1.1) and in  hybrid variety Lycopene content values are Urea(5.3), Super phosphate(5.5), Potash(6.3), Cowdung(8.7), Polutry manure(11.5), Control(1.0). mg per 100 g tomato. It was observed that lycopene content in tomatoes treated with  polutery manure, cowdung have higher values and treatment with chemical fertilizers have lower values

This study was conducted to determine microbial contamination of mobile phones in the city. A total of 174 colonies belonging to 10 genera were isolated from the mobile phones. The isolated genera were. Staphylococcus sp, Klebsiella sp., Enterococcus sp.Bacillus sp,Acinetobacter sp,Corynebacterium sp.,Pseudomonas sp,Proteus sp ,Serratia sp.,and E.coli sp.when their morphological, gram staining and biochemical characteristics were compared with known taxa. This study showed that all mobile phones under consideration were infected by several microbes, most of which belong to the natural flora of the human body. This means that it is necessary to sterilize hands after contact with phones since it is a source of disease transmission

The seed of Adansonia digitata was fermented with the aim of producing additional plant protein food and feed. The seed was subjected to natural fermentation for 120 hours under laboratory condition. Nine moulds and two yeasts were isolated and characterized macroscopically and microscopically as Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium citrinum, Penicillium chrysogenum, Mucor racemosus, Mucor hiemalis, Rhizopus stolonifer, Alternaria tenuis, Scopuloriopsis brevicaulis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Spores of isolated fungi were used as starter cultures in the fermentation of the seed using solid state fermentation method for 120 hours. The fermented products were analyzed for proximate and antinutrient content using standard methods. The result showed a significant increase (p<0.05) in crude protein, total ash and carbohydrate but decreased significantly (p>0.05) in crude fat and crude fibre. The antinutrients in form of total tannins, saponins, oxalate and phytate content were significantly decreased after fermentation.  From the findings in this research it was concluded that fermented A. digitata seed can serve as additional plant protein food source in food and feed formulation for livestock.

The study was conducted at Adami Tulu Agricultural Research Center to compare the performance of kacha (Aloe sp.) and bamboo (Arundinaria alpine) top-bar. For this study a total of six bee colonies were kept in kacha (Aloe sp.) top-bar hive and bamboo (Arundinaria alpine) top-bar hive with three replications. The collected data were analyzed using T-test. Mean comparisons was done using the least significant difference (LSD) for parameters significant difference at (p<0.05).The mean amount of honey produced per kacha top-bar hive and bamboo top-bar hive were 14.5 kg and 12.2 kg respectively. The mean amount of honey produced of kacha and bamboo top-bar were 1.32 kg and 0.91 kg respectively. The study result showed significant different in average of honey yield per hive per year, honey yield per top-bar, number of combs developed, top-bar with brood (p<0.05).However, the study result showed none significant in comb with pollen and tendency of colony absconded (p>0.05).The strength honeybee colonies in the present study found to be higher in kacha top-bar hive compared to bamboo top-bar hive. Considering honey yield per hive, honey yield per top-bar, number of combs developed, frames with brood and colony strength, kacha tree (aloe spp.) is suitable for making top-bar for transitional hive.
