Integrated nutrient management of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merill) under temperate conditions of Kashmir Valley
A field experiment was conducted at KVK, Srinagar during two consecutive Kharif seasons to study the “Effect of integrated nutrient management for Soybean (Glycine max L.) under temperate conditions”. The experiment was laid out with 18 treatment combinations viz., three levels of each of recommended doses of inorganic fertilizers (50, 75 and 100% RD) and organic manures (control, FYM 10 t ha-1 and Dalweed 10 t ha-1) and two levels of biofertilizers (control and dual inoculation with Rhizobium + PSB) in randomised complete block design with three replications. The results revealed that grain and straw yield increased significantly with increase in the recommended inorganic levels. Application of FYM @ 10 t ha-1 showed significantly superior results over other organic treatments. Dual inoculation with Rhizobium and PSB showed significantly superior results over no inoculation. Yield attributing characters viz. 100-seed weight and number of nodules showed significant increase with increasing levels of recommended inorganic fertilizers. Application of 75% recommended inorganic fertilizer level showed highest 100-seed weight over other levels. Among organics, FYM (10 t ha-1) was found superior over Dalweed (10 t ha-1) for yield attributes. Oil and lysine content was found superior with application of 75% recommended inorganic fertilizers over other levels, Protien content increased with increasing levels of recommended inorganic fertilizers. Among organics FYM (10 t ha-1) yielded significantly superior results for seed quality than dalweed (10 t ha-1).

Energy and economic analysis of broiler production under different farm sizes
The aim of this study was to determine the amount of input-output energy used in broiler production and to make an economic analysis for broiler production in different sizes of farms in Iran. Data were collected from 70 producers, using face to face questionnaire method in Ardabil province. The surveyed farms were classified into three groups of small (less than 15000bird), medium (15000 to 30000 bird) and large farms (more than 30000 bird). The results indicated the total average energy input and output of 154and 27 GJ (1000bird)-1, respectively. The highest share in energy consumption belonged to fuel (61%) followed by feed (35%) and electricity (3%). Also, the results showed that large farms use the least amount of total energy per 1000bird; while, the highest energy output was obtained from medium farms. The share of direct, indirect, renewable and non-renewable energies was 64.62%, 35.38%, 35.28% and 64.72% respectively. The average energy use ef?ciency and productivity were calculated 0.18 and 0.02 kg MJ-1, respectively. Cost analysis showed that total average cost of production was 3349 $ (1000bird)-1. The bene?t-cost ratio and productivity were 1.09 and 0.77 kg $-1, respectively. Mainly, the large farms had the highest energy ratio (0.21) and benefit to cost ratio (1.11); indicating a better management of energy and input consumptions in these farms.

Training the engineering students in soft skills through J.K.Rowling’s ‘Harry potter and the philosopher’s stone’
A novel depicts a wide range of imaginary characters concerning the behaviour of human beings in real life. An individual who takes delight in interpreting novels can gain knowledge and obtain worldly wisdom. Also, since the reader is exposed to several situations, most of them being real-life circumstances, he/she gets an opportunity to acquire and enhance the soft skill sets required for both personal and professional lives. What is resolutely believed by the employers and colleges these days is that a student of technology must possess few most important identities of soft skills which cannot be overlooked, especially the soft skills like communication skills, leadership qualities, time management, interpersonal skills and presentation skills. Offering training in soft skills through children’s literature facilitates the students in putting up their behavioural skills in a superior style.
