Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has brought a complete halt to offline classroom learning in India since March 2020. With the teaching-learning process in higher educational institutions being turned to virtual platforms for the past one academic year, this paper attempts to assess the satisfaction levels of learners over a range of twelve parameters. Using a Likert Scale and an Importance-Satisfaction Grid, the paper reports the results from a primary survey conducted with students from different universities across India. Findings from the study reveal that availability of recorded lectures and pre-read material along periodic monitoring are the key factors that should be considered to improve online learning. The results are aligned with the elements of modern pedagogy and facilitate the need for a periodic assessment of factors that are considered important by the learners but give less satisfaction in the current state of affairs.

Abstract: Farm runoff is surface water leaving cultivated fields as a result of receiving water in excess of the infiltration rate to the soil. It is a multifactor threat to crop production and the environment. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of runoff on soil nutrients losses and to establish the relationship between the amount of rainfall and runoff. A field experiment was carried out on runoff plots with different cropping systems (sole maize, sole cowpea and maize intercropped with cowpea) as main plots and soil treatment NPK 15.15.15 (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) fertilizer and a control plot with no crop and treatment. Four runoff meters were installed for the collection....
