Wheat (Triticumaestivum L) is second most important cereal crop of India after rice and it grown throughout the country. It is a major staple crop of India and their quality of grain is reduced through infection of different diseases, among them Karnal bunt (Neovossiaindica) is one of major pathogen. It is of high quarantine importance which restrict global trade of wheat between different countries.
Considering that the genetic improvement of orange trees usingdifferent scion-rootstock combinations requires extensive research, we aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance and fruit quality of32 native clones of sweet orange grafted onto ‘Cravo’lime and grown on for eight years. The cultivar ‘Aquiri’ orange was employed as control since it is currently recommended by Embrapa for cultivation in Acre.
The present study entitled “Studies on epidemiological parameters on disease development of purple blotch of onion [Alternariaporri (Ellis) Cifferi]” was conducted in the Division of Plant pathology, P.G. Department of Agriculture, Khalsa College Amritsar, Rabi 2022-23.Onion (Allium cepa L.) is major vegetable crop cultivated primarily as food and export worldwide.It contains various anti-inflammatory, anti-cholesterol, anticancer and antioxidant properties with phytochemicals such as ‘quercetin’.
Croplands contribute significantly to the global nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, ammonia (NH3) volatilization, as well as nutrient pollution in water bodies, which is directly related to global warming and affects water and air quality. This study investigates the nitrogen (N) balance of croplands used for wheat-maize rotation farming using field free-drain lysimeters and incubation experiments.
The field experiment entitled “Effect of sources and levels of silicon on growth and yield of garlic cv. Phule Nilima was conducted during Rabi with a view to study the effect of sources and levels of silicon on growth, and yield of Garlic. The present investigation was carried out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD). Fifteen treatments comprised of five levels of silicon (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg Si ha-1) through three sources of silicon viz. Diatomaceous earth, calcium silicate and bagasse ash.
The response to the harmful effects of the droughts of the 1970s was effective by the Nigerien authorities and development partners. The latter have carried out actions aimed at combating environmental degradation in the most affected regions. In Tahoua region, these actions aimed to alleviate the land problem and access to natural resources of households, especially women who suffer from inequalities in inheritance and lack of freedom of action because of customs, traditions and cultures which weighheavy on them.
Based on the classification of the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, the value addition & agro processingsector includes dairy, fruit and vegetable processing, grain processing, meat and poultry processing, fisheries, and consumer foods and packaging, including canned food. India's agricultural production base is quite strong but at the same time, wastage of agricultural produce is also on a large scale. Processing in fruits and vegetables is about 2.20 percent which is very little compared whereas 35 percent in milk, 21 percent in meat and 6 percent in poultry.
This article gives a detailed description of the Miyawaki afforestation method. It gives the steps for planting a Miyawaki forest, the benefits of the Miyawaki forests, the cost of growing the forest and the funding options, how to grow the Miyawaki forest in difficult terrains and how to maintain it. The main criticism levied against this method is that it is too new to know its longevity and hence benefits. However, the article concludes by saying that the Miyawaki method has proved its replicability because Miyawaki forests are grown all over the world now.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to develop herbal tea bags with the incorporation of Adhatoda vasica (Adusa) and Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy) to extend its health and nutritional benefits as they have so many attributes such as the green nature of the leaves, the antioxidant properties, polyphenol content and phytochemicals properties which make it useful for development of herbal tea bags. Design/methodology/approach: Physico-chemical, sensory and economic analysis of raw materials and final product was carried out.
