Abstract

Integration of makhana (Euryale ferox Salisb.)-cum-fish culture including sole system as sub-plot on the nutritional quality under wetland ecosystem reveal that seed yield as well as nutritional value of makhana seeds (starch, sugar, protein and minerals) vary significantly by different integrated nutrient management (INM) packages applied on the crop and fishes. The result exhibited highest value (75.04, 2.37, 9.45 and 0.52%) with N4 treatment (plants and fishes both received a well-balanced organic and inorganic sources of plant nutrients along with fish-feed including zinc spray). The combined effect of different farming system and INM on the nutritional status of makhana seeds was not significant. These important food ingredients as fresh as well as its different value-added products have great importance for small and cottage industries, particularly poor and marginal section of rural people as well.

AM Puste, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (Agricultural University),Mohanpur - 741 252, Nadia, West Bengal

Anandamoy Puste, born in February 1954, is a Teaching-Research Professor in Crop Sciences under Faculty of Agricultural Science in B.C.K.V., the pioneer State Agricultural University (SAU) at Mohanpur (W.B.), India. He accomplished his academics including Ph.D. (1986) in Agronomy (Crop Sciences) from parent Institute with distinction and records. Since then, over three decades attached with UG, PG & Ph.D. advance teaching course, carrying out important field research on crops and significant contribution in nutrient (INM), soil and water characteristics, management. In addition, he has done exhaustive research work on integrated wetland management with beneficial aqua-terrestrial cropping systems, vegetables & horticultural plants. He has developed IFS modules (Integrated Farming System) - a sustained and purposeful effort to persuade the crop science education community. This new system of development is imperative for utilization of natural resources, enhancing productivity and ultimately viable and economically sustainable to the common rural people, effective in developing countries like India, which valued not only to the students but also effective for researchers, scientists, educationists, project planners etc. His work is prolific and internationally visible. His excellence and scholarship are evidenced through implement of government sponsored 10 research projects, guiding students, national and international leading publications (155+ papers and 9 books, 38 project reports, 30 popular articles), as well as numerous national (34) and international presentations (27, out of which 13 times in abroad), acted as chair, co-chair, external examiners & experts in national & international platforms, has been widely recognized by SHGs, NGOs and awarded by ISA (2011). Besides, due to expertise and significant contribution in Agricultural Sciences, ADB (Manila, Philippines) and SAARC has selected and recognized as ?SAARC - Agriculture Specialist? for formulating one project applicable to SAARC countries on thematic ideas of ?Promoting and initiatives for Regional Food Security?. Besides, ?MARQUIS - WHO?S WHO?, USA has been published personal Biography in 2003-04, 2006 and in World 28th edition (2010). Dr. Puste, by dint of his zenith of empirical researches and scholastic acumen, traveled through different countries across the world to present research works and heuristic models on farming systems IFS modules and sustainable rural livelihoods as International experts. The countries and organizations he covered include Bangladesh, Nepal, Japan, China (Beijing & Nanjing), UK (Reading University & IACR-Rothamsted), Thailand, Netherlands (WUR) , USA (UC Davis) and Edinburgh, respectively supported by the Scientific Council of Japan, Chinese Academy of Sciences, The World Green Research (WUR, Wageningen), UNESCO (Bangkok), IIFET (Oregon State University, USA), CIDA (Canada), SEI (University of York), ADB (Manila, Philippines) and SAARC (Dhaka, Bangladesh). Besides, Dr. Puste has visited BAU (Bangladesh) and Kasatsert University, Bangkok, Thailand on academic mission.
