crude fiber content of 4.8g was recorded with 16 K CRHG – 4. Regarding cooking studies, the
higher (0.041 g water per seed) hydration capacity was recorded with 16 K CRHG – 19,
hydration index (1.106 g) was recorded 16 K CRIDA – 18. Swelling capacity (0.078 ml per
seed) was higher in 16 K CRHG – 19, swelling index (1.066 ml) noted with 16 K CRHG – 19.
The cooking time was recorded significantly lower (6.02 min) in 16 K CRHG - 19.
Conclusion
The most reliable method for determining bioavailability of iron from diets is to measure iron
absorption. The available iron as measured by this invitro procedure was shown to decrease
considerably when inhibitors like phytic acid or tannin were included. Studies in humans have
shown that phytates and tannins decrease considerably the absorption of non heme iron,
especially in foods of plant origin. Thus, ionizable iron at pH 7.5 can be used as a valid measure
of bio-availability of iron from horse gram grain.

Soil erodibility, which is a major factor in erosion prediction and land use planning. The
Wischmeier and Smith (1963) formula was used to determine the erodibility indices of soil
samples. Soil erodibility is the degree of resistance to the impact of raindrops on the soil surface
and the shearing action of runoff water. Soil erodibility factor can be used to predict the Soil losses
from different locations. Erodibility is susceptibility and vulnerability of soil get eroded and it plays
important role to soil erosion. The data required for the erodibility estimation i.e. soil properties
are not easily available at Beed station. The soil properties such as soil texture class index, soil
permeability, organic matter content and % sand + % of very fine sand + % of silt (100 - clay %).
These parameters were investigated and used to determine the erodibility index k at various
locations. In present study, selected five location are A, B, C, D and E. The soil erodibility factor
K for A, B, C, D and E are 0.046, 0.057, 0.056, 0.023, 0.046, respectively. The average annual soil
loss in t ha -1 yr -1 was also estimated for each location to confirm the area that is more prone to
erosion. The soil losses from this respective location are 37.81, 46.85, 46.03, 18.90, 37.81 t ha -1 yr -
1 . The soils were analyzed to have greater proportions of sand to silt and clay thus, found to be
erodible, comparing the erodibility indices obtained with the standard erodibility indices provided
by Olson (1984). Provision of adequate soil conservation structures, drainage facilities, wind
breakers or shelter belts is recommended to protect the first 60cm depth within these areas from
wind and water erosion especially, as the soils have proved to be erodible. These soil erodibility
indices will be helpful for erosion prediction model at Beed district station.
