Abstract: Garments, being the closest layer to the human body, hold a profound influence on the well-being of an individual. The skin, being the body's largest organ, acts as a protective barrier, selectively allowing external elements to interact with the body. This dual role becomes especially crucial when considering the garments we wear, as they come in direct contact with our skin. The characteristics of fabrics, including color, texture, aroma, raw materials, and energy, have a tangible impact on the wearer's body, mind, and energy. Yoga practitioners, known for their heightened sensitivity, become particularly receptive to the subtle influences of garments, including fabrics and designs. The ancient healing disciplines of Yoga and Ayurveda, deeply rooted in Indian traditions, recognize the significance of these influences. According to Ayurveda, the materials used in garments should not only be comfortable but also supportive of different yogic practices and lifestyles. This paper explores the intricate relationship between garments, Yoga, and Ayurveda, delving into how the choice of fabrics and designs can contribute to the holistic well-being of individuals. By understanding and aligning with the principles of Ayurveda, practitioners can make informed decisions about the garments they choose, ensuring that these articles of clothing not only complement their physical activities but also contribute positively to their mental and energetic states. In essence, this research aims to shed light on the interconnectedness of these ancient disciplines and provide insights into how conscious choices in clothing can enhance the overall experience and benefits of Yoga practice in harmony with Ayurvedic principles.

Abstract: Deficit irrigation trial has been conducted to see the response of durum wheat to the extent of deficit irrigation at Debre Zeit research center for three successive seasons from 2016 to 2018. Establishment irrigations were given for all plots after swing and irrigation water application events were monitored using long term meteorological data and soil moisture readings. Irrigation water application depths (amount of water applied) were calculated from cumulative crop evapotranspiration (ETc) values in a given period and plots were irrigated with depths that was replenish 100 %, 75%, and 50 % of the cumulative ETc as per the treatment to be applied. Measured amount of irrigation water applied to every plot measured by using 3 inch Parshall flume. Results indicated those grain yields significantly affected by deficit irrigation levels and furrow irrigation methods. The highest mean grain yield of 5.8 t/ha attained from 75% ETc irrigation level with alternate furrow irrigation method while the lowest mean yield of 3.989 t/ha was obtained from treatment irrigated with 50% ETc and conventional furrow irrigation method. Therefore, based on the current findings, the highest grain yield was obtained at 75% ETc with alternate furrow irrigation system while the highest WUE was recorded at irrigating 100% ETc with alternate furrow system.
