The efforts of the Indian Society for Spices in fostering collaboration with the different stake holders of the spices sector across the country by way of organizing national seminars, symposia, interfaces etc are really laudable. This forum is also an opportunity for effective exchange of ideas among researchers, growers, traders, industry and policy makers. The present symposium seventeenth in the series, targeting post harvest processing of spices and fruit crops is timely as post harvest processing of spices and fruits, is an area of increasing importance to the industry, consumers and farmers alike besides its scope for research. I wish the Symposium all success. 30-10-2013 (S. AYYAPPAN) New Delhi ____________________________________________________________________________________ SYMSAC VII Post-Harvest Processing of Spices and Fruit Crops Indian Society for Spices ____________________________________________________________________________________ MESSAGE I am happy to learn that the Indian Society of Spices, Kozhikode in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Spices Research, Kozhikode, Directorate of Arecanut and Spices Development, Kozhikode and Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi is organizing a National Symposium on Spices and Aromatic Crops (SYMSAC-VII) at Madikeri, Karnataka from 27-29 November, 2013. India is reputed since prehistoric times as the land of spices. The compelling need for spices led to the landing of the Portuguese navigator, Vasco da Gamma at Kozhikode in 1498. Until the 1970s, India had a virtual dominance in the international spices trade and still continues to be the largest producer, consumer, and exporter of spices in the world. Till 2011, the country produced about 5350 thousand tons from 2940 thousand hectares of area under spices. About 10% of this is exported annually. In the daily intake of food and culinary preparation, the Indian food habits amalgamate divergent spices and exploit and utilize phytochemicals to add aroma and health in our daily life. This is unique to our civilization and probably rare. While individually the use of peppers, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, cloves etc. contribute taste, flavor and aroma. The beauty of Indian cuisine is the proportionality and the blend that in totality contribute what can be summarized as Indian spices. The term is more generic as in reality these permutations and combinations of the above vary from region to region with religion and within a religion based on sub-groups adding to a rich diversity in the way the spices are exploited in our daily foods. Also, doubts are arising whether the presence of pesticide residues in spices is neutralizing the beneficial effects of the active components on cell physiology and function. Indian spices include a variety grown across the Indian subcontinent. With different climates in different parts of the country, India produces a variety of spices, many of which are native, while others were imported from similar places and have since been cultivated locally for centuries. Spices are used in different forms - whole, chopped, ground, roasted, sautéed, fried and some as topping. They blend food to extract the nutrients and bind them in a palatable form. The topic selected for the Symposium is very relevant and interesting as post harvest issues of spices and fruit crops are manifold receiving the attention of all stakeholders. The aspects concerning pesticide residue, aflatoxins, post harvest insect pest infestation, preservation of aroma constituents post harvest and cryoprocessing are a few issues of immediate concern. Spices are more in demand if they are cultivated organic, but the quality parameters for post harvest still need to be studied in such a scenario. The Indian Society for Spices, one of the professional Societies in Horticulture sector has been very active in various arena of spices research, development and extension. The society has been regularly organizing symposia and seminars on topics of contemporary relevance. The present SYMSAC-VII is yet another stride in this direction. I wish all success for the Symposium. (N. K.

Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarkhand, India Received: 20 April 2016/Revised: 19 May 2016/Accepted: 16 June 2016 ABSTRACT- Small Cardamom (Elettariacardamomum L. Maton) is one of the major spice crops of India, which were the world’s largest producer and exporter of cardamom till 1980. There has however been a reduction in production, mainly because of Katte disease, caused by cardamom mosaic virus (CdMV) a potyvirus. Viral diseases can be managed effectively by early diagnosis using serological methods. In the present investigation, CdMV isolates were sampled from Mudigere, Karnataka, ultra purified, and electron micro graphed for confirmation. Polyclonal antibodies were raised against the virus and a direct antigen coating plate Enzyme linked immunosorbent Assay (DAC-ELISA) and Dot-ELISA (DIBA) standardized to detect the virus in diseased and tissue cultured plants. Early diagnosis in planting material will aid in using disease free material for better yields and hence increased profit to the farmer.

[email protected], contact No. 9489524836 ABSTRACT: The MGNREGA 2005, plays a significant role to meet the practical as well as strategic needs of women’s participation. It is a self –targeting programme, intended in increasing outreach to the poor and marginalized sections of the society such as women and helping them towards the cause of financial and economic inclusion in the society. In the rural milieu, it promises employment opportunities for women and their empowerment. While their hardships have been reduced due to developmental projects carried out in rural areas, self-earnings have improved their status to a certain extent. However, women’s decision for participation and their share in MNREGP jobs is hindered by various factors. Apart from some structural problems, inattentiveness and improper implementation of scheme, social attitudes, exploitation and corruption have put question marks over the intents of the programme. At this juncture, the litmus test of the policy will have an impact on the entire process of rural development and women employment opportunities in India. There is excitement as well as disappointment over the implementation on the Act.

Genomic analysis of cardamom is often faced Ascorbic acid with the limitation of inefficient nucleic acid extraction due to its high content of polyphenols and poly- Cardamom mosaic virus saccharides. In this study, a highly efficient DNA and RNA extraction protocol for cryopreserved samples from Elettaria cardamomum small cardamom plant was developed with modification in the CTAB and SDS method for DNA and RNA, re- Polyphenol spectively, with the inclusion of 2% ascorbic acid. DNA isolated by this method is highly suitable for PCR, restriction digestion and RAPD analysis. The RNA extraction method described here represent the presence of plant mRNA, small RNAs and viral RNA and, the isolated RNA proved amenable for RT-PCR and amplification of small and viral RNA. Nucleic acids extraction protocol developed here will be useful to develop genetic marker for cardamom, to clone cardamom genes, small RNAs and cardamom infecting viral genes and to perform gene expression and small RNA analysis.

Hence Kattery watershed of Nilgiris district-Tamil Nadu, India is taken up for this study. The methodology involves remote sensing and GIS technologies. Field study and Laboratory analysis. The present study was initiated in Kattery watershed by preparing various thematic maps from cadastral maps using GIS Technology relevant to the study. Natural disaster that occur in hilly areas are earthquakes, landslides and floods. During these disasters there is great loss for life, properties and natural resources. This paper focuses on importance of natural resources such as soil, and the virtual disasters caused due to the soil loss.
