Martin Devaprasath Department of Chemistry, A.V.C.College (Autonomous), Mayiladuthurai, Tamilnadu, Department of Engineering, Manipal University, Dubai, U.A.E. Department of Chemistry, TBML College, Porayar, Nagapattinam, Tamilnadu, ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Micronutrients or ‘tracer elements’ are essential in small quantities for the growth of plants. Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Mo, Co and Cl 2 are considered as micronutirents. These micronutrients may produce synergetic and antagonistic effects if they are present in excess or in deficiency level. In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the micronutrient status of Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in Nagapattinam District of Tamil Nadu State by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results revealed that the order of mean status of available micronutrients was found to be Fe (6.40 mg. kg -1) > Mn (3.27mg.kg -1) > Cu (1.71 mg. kg -1) > Zn (0.97 mg. kg -1). On an average basis 56.41, 50.46, 54.85 and 79.96 percent soils were found to be deficient in Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn respectively. Keywords: micronutrients, Nagapattinam District, soil, Tamil Nadu. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Elements like Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Mo, Co and Cl 2 are known to be essential for plant growth and are required in such small quantities that they are called micronutrients or tracer elements. The deficiency or the excess presence of the micronutrients such as Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu may produce synergetic and antagonistic effects in plants. One common characteristic of all the micronutrients is that they are required in very small amounts and they are all harmful when the available forms are present in the soil in large quantities. Thus, the range of concentration of these elements in which plants will grow satisfactory is considerably small. However, indiscriminate use of micronutrients is not advisable because of the small amounts needed and its interaction with other nutrients. In Tamil Nadu, information on micronutrient status at village and taluk level is 10 A. Arokiyaraj et al J. Chem. Pharm. Res., 2011, 3(4):10-16 ______________________________________________________________________________ lacking. Although, widespread micronutrient deficiency has been observed in the soils of Trichy District of Tamil Nadu, the information with respect to availability of micronutrient status of the study area was lacking. Hence, a systematic soil analysis was proposed to delineate areas of individual micronutrient deficiencies in the study area of Nagapattinam District of Tamilnadu. In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the micronutrient status of Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in the soils of all the 499 revenue villages in Nagapattinam District using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Study area: Nagapattinam District in Tamilnadu State of India is spread over eight taluks with a total geographical extent of 2715.83 sq.km. with the head quarter at Nagapattinam. This District lies on the shores of the Bay of Bengal between Northern Latitude 10.7906 degrees and 79.8428 Degrees Eastern longitude with eight taluks and eleven panchayat unions. The study area is spread over in 2,32,257 hectares of land and has 499 revenue villages. The geographical extent of each Taluk is given below in Table.1.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Surface soil samples depth (0-20 cm) numbering 2,495 from 499 revenue villages in all the eight taluks of Nagapattinam District were collected. Five samples were collected from each revenue village. The soil samples were ground, passed through 2 mm sieve and analyzed for DTPA (Diethylene Triamine Penta Acetic acid) extractable micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) as per the method proposed by Lindsay and Norvell (1978) and the concentrations of Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu were 11 A. Arokiyaraj et al J. Chem. Pharm. Res., 2011, 3(4):10-16 ______________________________________________________________________________ determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Simple averaging of soil test values for each micronutrient was done to get the average status in the villages. Using the critical levels fixed by earlier workers for DTPA extractable micronutrients in Tamil Nadu soils, the percentage deficiencies of individual nutrients were calculated in each village. The critical levels for DTPA extractable micronutrients were fixed (Tandon, 1999) as follows: Fe–3.7mgKg -1 Mn–2.0mgKg -1 Zn–1.2mgKg -1 Cu – 1.2 mg Kg -1 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The village wise DTPA–extractable micronutrients (Fe,Mn,Zn and Cu) contents were systematically determined for the entire district and the mean values of the micronutrients status of all the 8 taluks are given in Table 2. Analysis of 2,495 surface soil samples collected from 8 taluks (499 of revenue villages) revealed that DTPA extractable micronutrient content in 12 A. Arokiyaraj et al J. Chem. Pharm. Res., 2011, 3(4):10-16 ______________________________________________________________________________ Nagapattinam District soils with a mean status of 0.97, 1.71, 6.40 and 3.27 mg kg -1 for Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn respectively (Fig.2).

On the basis 13 A. Arokiyaraj et al J. Chem. Pharm. Res., 2011, 3(4):10-16 ______________________________________________________________________________ of the critical limits suggested by Tandon (1999) (<1.2 mg kg -1 for deficient and > 1.2 mg kg -1 for sufficient) all the 79.96 % samples were deficient in the available Zn. Considering the critical limits (3.7 mg kg -1) proposed by Tandon (1999), 56.41% samples were found to be deficient in DTPA extractable Fe. Similarly 50.46% of samples were deficient in the available Mn and 54.85% samples were deficient in the available Cu when considering the critical limits suggested by Tandon [2.0 mg kg -1 for Mn and 1.2 mg kg -1for Cu] (1999).

Zn deficiency leads to widespread nutritional disorder in various crops. The mean available Zn content was also found to be below the critical level (0.97 mg kg -1 ). In general, the deficiency of Zn was pronounced in most of the villages of the taluks. Rice is the major grown crop in all the taluks and all the crops are mostly grown under irrigated conditions. Continued submergence of soils, calcareousness, HCO 3 rich ground water and poor organic matter status may be possible reasons for Zn deficiency. In crop growing areas, indiscriminate use of phosphatic fertilizers and copper fungicides may also be attributed for Zn deficiency. In case of field crops, soil aplication of ZnSO 4, 15-25 kg /ha can be done before sowing or transplanting.

    Cyclone and Its Effect on Shoreline Changes in Archaeological Sites, East Coast of Tamil Nadu, India

    AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 Cyclone and its Effect on Shoreline Changes in Archaeological Sites, East Coast of Tamil Nadu, India Sathiyamoorthy G, *Sivaprakasam Vasudevan, Selvaganapathi R & Nishikanth C. V Department of Earth Sciences, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar, Tamil Nadu, India. *[email protected] ABSTRACT : The contact line between sea and land, is knows as shoreline and they are experiencing changes due to the long-shore current, tides, wave, and storm surges, etc. The Shorelines played a major role in human settlement and favours the clustering of Port cities from ancient to present. The changes in the shoreline directly affect the livelihood of the coastal cities and also worn out the maritime archaeological sites, particularly during the late Quaternary period. A few archaeological sites including Arikamedu, Poompuhar, Tharangambadi, and Sembiyankandiyur show a direct/indirect relationship with the shoreline changes between 1972 and 2018. The shoreline changes between Pondicherry and Nagapattinam patch, with respect to the archaeological sites, quantify erosion -20.52 m/period in Arikamedu, Poompuhar, and Tharangambadi and -25.28 m/period along Sembiyankandiyur region during a span of 46 years. The maritime Archaeological, pride sites like Poompuhar, Tharangambadi and Sembiyankandiyur on the coastal region were submerged in the sea, the remand parts are also under the threat to vanish at a faster rate. Keywords: LRR, EPR and NSM, Erosion and Accretion. 1. INTRODUCTION Coastal region of the south eastern part of India is significant with respect to archaeological studies. The modest tide and wave action in the Bay of Bengal has enabled the formation and continuance of many coastal sites.

    2 X 160 MW Coal Based Thermal Power Plant EXECUTIVE

    PPN POWER GENERATING COMPANY PVT. LTD 2 x 160 MW Coal based Thermal Power Plant EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction PPN Power Generating Company Pvt. Ltd. (PPN) having its corporate office at Chennai, owns and operates a Combined Cycle Power Station of 330.5 MW capacity at villages of Pillaiperumalnallur and Manikkapangu of Tharangambadi Taluk of Nagapattinam District, Tamil Nadu. The existing plant is designed for 100% natural gas firing or 100% naphtha firing or a mixture of natural gas and naphtha firing ( 70 % : 30%). Presently plant is operated using 100 % naphtha due to shortage of gas from PY-01 off shore well. Since the prospects of availability of gas is remote, PPN is now planning to expand the power plant capacity from 330.5 MW to 490.5 MW by installing 2 x 160 MW coal based thermal power plant in existing plant premises. PPN has appointed Fichtner Consulting Engineers (India) Pvt. Ltd., Chennai as their Consultant/ Engineer for the preparation of Feasibility Report of the Project. This Feasibility report is prepared based on the MOEF guidelines dated 30th December 2010 for obtaining environmental clearance. The objective of this Feasibility Report is to establish the technical and commercial feasibility of the project giving details such as the site features, basic plant configuration, salient technical features and financial parameters of the proposed 2 x 160 MW Thermal Power Plant. Project Description The proposed power project will be located adjacent to the existing combined cycle power plant location. The proposed site is located in Pillaiperumalnallur and Manikkapangu villages near Thirukkadaiyur in Tharangambadi Taluka of Nagapatinam District, Tamil Nadu.
