Nutrient acquisition and growth of citronella Java (Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt) was studied in a P-deficient sandy soil to determine the effects of mycorrhizal symbiosis and soil compaction. A pasteurized sandy loam soil was inoculated either with rhizosphere microorganisms excluding VAM fungi (non-mycorrhizal) or with the VAM fungus, Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith (mycorrhizal) and supplied with 0, 50 or 100 mg P kg-1 soil. The soil was compacted to a bulk density of 1.2 and 1.4 Mg m-3 (dry soil basis).

During the last five decades, a number of combinatorial generalizations and interpretations have occurred for the identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type. The object of this paper is to give a most general known analytic auxiliary functional generalization which can be used to give combinatorial interpretations of generalizedq-identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type. The derivation realise the theory of basic hypergeometric series with two unconnected bases.

A new process of removing saponins from Mahua seed cake, a commonly available tree of genusBassia, has been developed. The processed cake when added to the rations of calves to the extent of 50% digestible crude protein replacement, had no adverse effect on growth rate of cross-bred dairy calves.
