This document contains an abstract for an article on Boswellia papyrifera pre-dominated woodlands of Ethiopia. It summarizes that the woodlands provide important natural resources but generate very little annual cash income for local households. As a result, the woodlands are being continuously cleared and converted to agricultural land. Regeneration of important species is severely lacking, putting the long-term survival of the woodland population at risk. Policies need to be revised to give locals legal rights and economic incentives to sustainably manage and utilize the woodland resources.
effect of irrigation levels on yield performance of black cuminIJEAB
An experiment was conducted in the experimental field of Horticulture Department, Bangabandhu Sheikh MujiburRahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Salna, Gazipur during the period from 20 November, 2012 to 12 April, 2013 to determine the optimum level of irrigation for better yield and quality of black cumin. There were six different irrigation levels (I1 - no irrigation, I2 - three irrigation, I3 - four irrigation, I4 - six irrigation, I5 - eight irrigation and I6 - ten irrigation). Results revealed that the number of primary branches (6.33), secondary branches (11.84), tertiary branches (6.29), number of capsule per plant (18.64), capsule length (1.89 cm), diameter of capsule( 1.05 cm), number of seed per capsule (107.8), fresh seed yield per plant (3.84g), dry seed yield per plant (3.26g), 1000 seed weight (2.40g) and seed yield (1.77 t/ha) were observed maximum in I6(ten irrigation).

The effect of poultry droppings on growth and fruit yield of okra was evaluated during 2013 and 2014 cropping seasons at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching and Research Farm Mokwa Sub- Station (90181N and 504E) with altitude of 378.0 m above the sea level of the Southern Guinea Savanna Zone of Nigeria. The trial was conducted using Randomized Complete Block Design which consisted of ten (10) treatment combinations with three replications. Different rates of poultry droppings (t ha-1); 0 (No application), 5 t ha-1, 10 t ha-1, 15 t ha-1 and 20 t ha-1 with two okra varieties, LD 88- 1 and Kukurasungi Local were used. Data was taken from five sampled plants per plot on parameters such as average plant height per plant (cm), number of leaves per plant, number of flowers per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit length (cm) and green fruit yield (t ha-1). Results from this study showed that in the two years trial LD 88- 1 variety performed better than Kukurasungi Local and therefore can be used for okra production within the study area. Poultry droppings rate of 15 t ha-1 increased the fruit yield. Therefore, this can be applied as part of cultural treatment.

Abstract— Agriculture is the basic need of human being to survive. Increase in human population, increases the food production. Largest areas are under rice cultivation. Rice plants were prone to attack by insect and pest. So, for its survival use of pesticide is necessary, but this had lead risk behaviour among rice farmers. The study was based on the farmers of Bargarh and Sundargarh District of Odisha regarding pesticide usage condition .100 farmers were interviewed from both the district, using questionnaire methods from February to April 2015. A questionnaire survey on personal history regarding agricultural labour, pesticide use and health history was conducted. Descriptive statistics was used for analysis of quantitative data. The most frequently used pesticides included organophosphates, carbamates. 2-3 times pesticide was applied after 15 days, after 1 month and also before the production time. Demographic data shows 87 respondents were male farmers rests were female farmers out of 100 respondents. Only 85 respondents were using sprayer for spraying pesticides out of 100 but 36 respondents were only using protective covers. 12 farmers only follow the instruction given on the pesticide container. 33 respondents have the knowledge of colour coding present in the pesticide bottle. Health symptom showed less frequently, in farmers using protective covers. Out of 100 respondents 58 had skin contact, 12 respondents suffer from eye irritation, and 28 respondents feel drowsiness after strong smell of pesticides while 31 farmers suffer from headache. Major factors of pesticide poisoning are due to lack of attention to safety precautions and lack of training before using of pesticide. So, training programme is necessary to improve safer pesticide behaviours, create more awareness among the farmers and also introduction of using bio pesticide instead of using pesticide.

The formation of Maize Foundation Inbred Lines: Analysis in Different Perspec...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— Maize breeding has made a greater contribution to the increases of maize yield. Maize foundation inbred lines play an irreplaceable role in maize breeding. The formation of foundation lines were the results of many factors, the key factors of which were accord with breeding trends, adapt to environment in much of region, and have appropriate representativeness for particular heterotic group. Foundation lines possess well structure of source and better yield stability, this contribute to their combinations with coordinated source-sink relationship and adapt to close planting. Foundation lines resist major stress factor and adapt to the cropping systems and cultural practices of main maize producing areas. And foundation lines concentrate numerous unique alleles of particular heterotic group, so they are easy to generate heterotic with lines from other heterotic group. For new foundation lines breeding, the existing foundation lines are preferred basic germplasm and cross breeding unites with pedigree selection is effective breeding method. Moreover, we give a integrate breeding method base on rapid advances in plant-breeding technology.
Abstract— Today, fruit science have well been established in world trade networks and sophisticated cultural and postharvest technologies that allow fruits to be enjoyed throughout much of the year, instead of mere weeks per year like our ancestors experienced. Especially modern biotechnological methods including genetic engineering technologies have been taken part in breeding strategies of fruit crops. Several biotechnological methods can be applied to plant to have better ones in the process of fruit breeding. Genetic engineering is a powerful tool for plant improvement and has the potential to allow the integration of desirable characteristics into existing genomes. Transformation technology developed a path to transfer important genes into plant genome for enhancing resistance against fungal, viral pathogens, other pests, drought, and salinity as well as silencing undesirable genes and improvement in nutrient acquisition. Different gene transfer techniques could be employed for fruit species. As well as direct and indirect transformation, modern genome editing methods recently have been used in plant science. In this review, we illustrated how to use these technologies in fruit science.

Effect of Transplanting date on the Growth and Yield of Aromatic Rice in Irri...iosrjce
A field experiment was conducted at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA) farm
Mymensingh, Bangladesh during the irrigated ecosystem in December, 2009 to May 2010, with a view to study
the performance of aromatic fine rice under different date of transplanting. The experiment was carried out with
four aromatic fine rice (V1= Chinisagar, V2= Chiniatab, V3= Basmati, V4=Awnless Minicat) and three different
date of transplanting (D1=20 January, D2=5 February, D3=20 February). The experiment was laid out in splitplot
design with three replications assigning four varieties in the main plot and the three different transplanting
dates in the sub plot. Aromatic fine rice and dates of transplanting individually showed significant effect on the
agronomic parameters. Among the aromatic fine rice Awnless Minicat gave the highest yield (3.10 t ha-1
) but
that was at per with those of Basmati (1.77 t ha-1
). Transplantation on 20 January gave the highest grain yield
(2.41 t ha-1 ) which was at per with the transplantation on 5 February (1.99 t ha-1 ).The result revealed that 20 January and 5 February produced highest grain yield by all the variety. In later date of transplanting 20 February produced lower grain yield.

Fruit crops like mango, citrus, avocado, litchi, temperate fruits, nuts, etc. suffer from the severe problem of irregular bearing or cropping periodicity as well as staggered or erratic flowering behaviour, leading to considerable loss of their production potential. Some of the fruit crops are worst sufferers of cropping periodicity. In fruit crops production serious problems is biennial bearing or irregular bearing leading to considerable loss of their production potentials. Alternate bearing tree (or branch) is one that does not bear a regular crop year after year; rather, heavy yields are followed by extremely light ones and vice-versa, While Flower initiation is very important because it is the first step towards attaining fruit. Biennial cycle is very usual, so that an “on-year” (large yields) is followed by an “off-year” (little or no yield). Alternate bearing means "a condition at which high or optimum fruit production in on year and certain year bear little or no fruit (off year), but growth regulators such as paclobutrazol reported to be effective on inducing flowering off year.

This study aims to determine the effect of Glomus mosseae mycorrhizae dose and varieties on growth and yield of chili (Capsicum annum. L) on Entisol soil. This research was conducted at the UNSYIAH Experimental Garden, Banda Aceh. The design used in this study is factorial randomized block design (RBD). The first factor in this study is the dose of mycorrhizal Glomus mosseae (D) consisting of 4 levels, namely: D0= without mycorrhiza, D1= mycorrhiza Glomus mosseae 5g plant-1, D2= mycorrhiza Glomus mosseae 10g plant-1, and D3= mycorrhiza Glomus mosseae 15g plant-1. The second factor is chili variety (V) consisting of 3 levels, namely: PM 999 varieties, Lado F1 varieties, varieties CTH-01. The variables observed were growth parameters, chili yield, total N-content and P-available on Entisol soil and the percentage of mycorrhizal infected roots. The results showed that mycorrhizal doses were able to increase the value of N-total and P-available on the soil and can improve plant growth and yield, the use of mycorrhizal doses of 15 g tan-1 generally results in better growth and yield of chilli compared to other doses, while based on the results of research CTH-01 varieties affect the growth and yield of chili plants. There is an interaction between mycorrhizal doses with chilli varieties on growth parameters and chili yield.

An experiment was conducted to study the varietals /genotypic potentiality in producing maximum yield under
different soil and environmental conditions and N-use efficiency of different genotypes and to support wheat
breeding program in selecting the genotype with relatively higher yield potential. The experiment was conducted
in split plot design with three replications to evaluate the two soil management practices: (i) Recommended
fertilizer (N100P30K50S20) with all the production package of Wheat Research Center (WRC) (timely sowing, one
weeding, 3 irrigations) (ii) Treatment (i) plus soil treatment (application of granular fungicide in moist soil before
seeding) with plant protection (foliar application of tilt at anthesis and grain filling). One additional irrigation
(schedules: 17-21, 35-40, 55-60, 75-80 DAS) in the main plot and eight varieties/lines, varities: i) Shatabdi ii)
Prodip iii) Bijoy iv) BARI Gom-25 v) BARI Gom-26, lines: vi) BAW 1051 vii) BAW 1135 and viii) BAW 1141 in subplot were adopted. The results conclude that best management practice with Prodip, Bijoy and BAW 1141 are best performance among the genotypes/varieties and will give a new concept on identification of the strategy for the improvement of wheat cultivation and yield.

A farmer interview (n=251) was conducted in five Sesame growing districts in dry regions of Sri Lanka (Anuradhapura, Ampara, Hambanthota, Mannar, and Puttalam) to identify the agronomic aspects of Sesame cultivation. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data and the Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV) was calculated to describe and compare the variation within and among the distributions of nominal variables. Results showed that Sesame was mainly grown in Yala season (March to August) of Sri Lanka as a secondary crop to maintain the agricultural lands for primary crops grown during Maha season (November to February). Many farmers were not aware on the Sesame cultivars developed by the Department of Agriculture and had received limited advice on cultivation practices. White seeded Sesame was mainly grown in Hambanthota (South Eastern) while black seeded Sesame was more common in Puttalam and Mannar districts (North Western) of Sri Lanka. Farmer’s selection of Sesame variety was mainly based on the availability of seeds. Sesame was mainly cultivated in small scale (<5 ha) in all the study areas and the production was less than 1t/ha. Application of fertilizer or insecticides during crop growth was rarely recorded and weedicides were often used only during land preparation. Sesame is currently an underutilized crop grown in marginal lands utilizing minimum human resources and agrochemical inputs. High potential for expansion of Sesame cultivation in Sri Lanka on degraded dry lands as ‘organic by default’ was exhibited with dedication of farmers engaged in small scale crop cultivation in the dry zone of Sri Lanka.

Effect of Transplanting date on the Growth and Yield of Aromatic Rice in Irri...iosrjce
A field experiment was conducted at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA) farm
Mymensingh, Bangladesh during the irrigated ecosystem in December, 2009 to May 2010, with a view to study
the performance of aromatic fine rice under different date of transplanting. The experiment was carried out with
four aromatic fine rice (V1= Chinisagar, V2= Chiniatab, V3= Basmati, V4=Awnless Minicat) and three different
date of transplanting (D1=20 January, D2=5 February, D3=20 February). The experiment was laid out in splitplot
design with three replications assigning four varieties in the main plot and the three different transplanting
dates in the sub plot. Aromatic fine rice and dates of transplanting individually showed significant effect on the
agronomic parameters. Among the aromatic fine rice Awnless Minicat gave the highest yield (3.10 t ha-1
) but
that was at per with those of Basmati (1.77 t ha-1
). Transplantation on 20 January gave the highest grain yield
(2.41 t ha-1 ) which was at per with the transplantation on 5 February (1.99 t ha-1 ).The result revealed that 20 January and 5 February produced highest grain yield by all the variety. In later date of transplanting 20 February produced lower grain yield.
The article presents the results of the study of the mass of 1000 peeled hairy seeds by fertilizing the soil and improving the ecological condition of the soil by coating the hairy seeds with organic fertilizers. While the weight of 1000 pieces of hairy seeds was 120.3 grams, the weight of 1000 pieces of shell hair seeds in the portable device was 130.1 grams, which is 9.8 grams more than the control. M. A.

Fruit crops like mango, citrus, avocado, litchi, temperate fruits, nuts, etc. suffer from the severe problem of irregular bearing or cropping periodicity as well as staggered or erratic flowering behaviour, leading to considerable loss of their production potential. Some of the fruit crops are worst sufferers of cropping periodicity. In fruit crops production serious problems is biennial bearing or irregular bearing leading to considerable loss of their production potentials. Alternate bearing tree (or branch) is one that does not bear a regular crop year after year; rather, heavy yields are followed by extremely light ones and vice-versa, While Flower initiation is very important because it is the first step towards attaining fruit. Biennial cycle is very usual, so that an “on-year” (large yields) is followed by an “off-year” (little or no yield). Alternate bearing means "a condition at which high or optimum fruit production in on year and certain year bear little or no fruit (off year), but growth regulators such as paclobutrazol reported to be effective on inducing flowering off year.

An extensive survey was carried out during 2013 for the real situation in the crop to study the plant pathogenic fungus, bacteria and nematodes associated with Japanese Mint Mentha arvensis var piperascense growing fields. Soil and root samples were collected from 24 Mentha fields represents 15 different locations (villages) Akhtarpur, Tiwaripur, Shuklapur, Katia, Oripur, Ghuripur, Padariya and Dafara. Out of 120 soil samples, 16 soil samples were found infected with Fusarium oxysporum and 27 soil samples with Alternaria spp. 36 samples have the plant parasitic nematodes population. Results revealed that the maximum disease prevalence (DP) of Fusarium oxysporum was recorded at Shuklapur (27%), while the minimum disease prevalence was recorded at Ghuripur (3.4%). Alternaria spp. was more prevalent at Tiwaripur (42%) while root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) incidence was maximum at Katia (43%). The plant extracts were not so promising for inhibition of pathogenic fungi of Mentha crop.
The effect of dosage of mycorrhizal Glomus mosseae and some varieties on grow...Innspub Net
This study aims to determine the effect of Glomus mosseae mycorrhizae dose and varieties on growth and yield of chili (Capsicum annum. L) on Entisol soil. This research was conducted at the UNSYIAH Experimental Garden, Banda Aceh. The design used in this study is factorial randomized block design (RBD). The first factor in this study is the dose of mycorrhizal Glomus mosseae (D) consisting of 4 levels, namely: D0= without mycorrhiza, D1= mycorrhiza Glomus mosseae 5g plant-1, D2= mycorrhiza Glomus mosseae 10g plant-1, and D3= mycorrhiza Glomus mosseae 15g plant-1. The second factor is chili variety (V) consisting of 3 levels, namely: PM 999 varieties, Lado F1 varieties, varieties CTH-01. The variables observed were growth parameters, chili yield, total N-content and P-available on Entisol soil and the percentage of mycorrhizal infected roots. The results showed that mycorrhizal doses were able to increase the value of N-total and P-available on the soil and can improve plant growth and yield, the use of mycorrhizal doses of 15 g tan-1 generally results in better growth and yield of chilli compared to other doses, while based on the results of research CTH-01 varieties affect the growth and yield of chili plants. There is an interaction between mycorrhizal doses with chilli varieties on growth parameters and chili yield.

An experiment was conducted to study the varietals /genotypic potentiality in producing maximum yield under
different soil and environmental conditions and N-use efficiency of different genotypes and to support wheat
breeding program in selecting the genotype with relatively higher yield potential. The experiment was conducted
in split plot design with three replications to evaluate the two soil management practices: (i) Recommended
fertilizer (N100P30K50S20) with all the production package of Wheat Research Center (WRC) (timely sowing, one
weeding, 3 irrigations) (ii) Treatment (i) plus soil treatment (application of granular fungicide in moist soil before
seeding) with plant protection (foliar application of tilt at anthesis and grain filling). One additional irrigation
(schedules: 17-21, 35-40, 55-60, 75-80 DAS) in the main plot and eight varieties/lines, varities: i) Shatabdi ii)
Prodip iii) Bijoy iv) BARI Gom-25 v) BARI Gom-26, lines: vi) BAW 1051 vii) BAW 1135 and viii) BAW 1141 in subplot were adopted. The results conclude that best management practice with Prodip, Bijoy and BAW 1141 are best performance among the genotypes/varieties and will give a new concept on identification of the strategy for the improvement of wheat cultivation and yield.

Agronomic status of Sesame/Thala (Sesamum indicum L.) cultivations in dry reg...Innspub Net
A farmer interview (n=251) was conducted in five Sesame growing districts in dry regions of Sri Lanka (Anuradhapura, Ampara, Hambanthota, Mannar, and Puttalam) to identify the agronomic aspects of Sesame cultivation. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data and the Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV) was calculated to describe and compare the variation within and among the distributions of nominal variables. Results showed that Sesame was mainly grown in Yala season (March to August) of Sri Lanka as a secondary crop to maintain the agricultural lands for primary crops grown during Maha season (November to February). Many farmers were not aware on the Sesame cultivars developed by the Department of Agriculture and had received limited advice on cultivation practices. White seeded Sesame was mainly grown in Hambanthota (South Eastern) while black seeded Sesame was more common in Puttalam and Mannar districts (North Western) of Sri Lanka. Farmer’s selection of Sesame variety was mainly based on the availability of seeds. Sesame was mainly cultivated in small scale (<5 ha) in all the study areas and the production was less than 1t/ha. Application of fertilizer or insecticides during crop growth was rarely recorded and weedicides were often used only during land preparation. Sesame is currently an underutilized crop grown in marginal lands utilizing minimum human resources and agrochemical inputs. High potential for expansion of Sesame cultivation in Sri Lanka on degraded dry lands as ‘organic by default’ was exhibited with dedication of farmers engaged in small scale crop cultivation in the dry zone of Sri Lanka.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

ABSTRACT: The Boswellia pre-dominated woodland, belonging to the Combretum–Terminalia
deciduous woodlands of the dry forests of Ethiopia, forms the largest vegetation cover and is widespread
in the northern and north-western lowland part of the country. This paper has tried to review and discuss
the current contribution of the Boswellia dominated woodlands and its main threats which contributed for
its degradation based on different empirical studies. From the review it is understood that the Boswellia
pre-dominated woodland represents important natural resources on which development could be based
since it offer diverse products of commerce such as incense, wood and honey, and support to other
economic activities such as fodder for livestock and soil conservation for crop farming. However, the
annually cash income generated by households from the Boswellia woodland is only 1089.55 ETB, which
is 18.32 fold less than that of the income from the agriculture. The low cash flow is shown to be due to
3. policy restrictions on the engagement of the local people in producing and marketing frankincense, a
principal product from the woodland. Such low cash contribution by the woodland motivated the local
people to continuously clear and convert the woodland in to agricultural land. In lined with this, the
structure of some of the important species in the woodland showed a hump shaped curve distribution,
suggesting regeneration is severely lacking and the population is under serious threat in the long term.
Therefore, the main conclusion of this study is that the Boswellia woodland, although worthy of
sustainable management and utilization even on the basis of economic criteria, is continuing to suffer
conversion to other land uses which offer benefits in the short term and in which farmers have more
confidence in terms of economic benefits and ownership rights of the land. Therefore, to maximize the
actual value of the Boswellia pre-dominated woodland, policies and institutions that govern access to and
use of forest resources and their management need to be revised in such a way that the locals will have
the legal right and the confidence to own or co-own the forest resources in their vicinity, and will continue
to manage and utilize it.

ABSTRACT: Agriculture is the back bone of our country and economy, which accounts for almost 30 per
cent of GDP and employs 70 per cent of the population. Over the last decade, technical methods have
been developed to utilize modern electronics to respond to field variability. Such methods are known as
spatially variable crop production, geographic positioning system (GPS)-based agriculture, site-specific
and precision farming (precision agriculture). The term ‘spatially variable crop production’ seems to be
more accurate and descriptive than the term precision agriculture. The concept of Precision Agriculture
avails the recent developments in sensors, green-house and protected agriculture structures. This
technology can be meaning fully deployed for hot and extremely dry regions where water is scarce, soil is
salty, temperature is high and rain fall is low. It is also certain that even in developing countries,
availability of labour for agri-horticultural activities is going to be in short supply in future. The time has
now arrived to exploit all the modern tools available by bringing information technology and agricultural
science together for improved economic and environmentally sustainable crop production. Precision
Agriculture is an integrated crop management system that at tempts to match the kind and amount of
inputs with the actual crop needs for small areas within a farm field.

ABSTRACT: The present study was planned to evaluate the effect of auto-exhausts on a very common
ornamental plant i.e. African marigold (Tagetes erecta) plants which also possess aromatic & medicinal
properties and natural source of antioxidants. The plant is also recommended for growing with rose for its
allelopathic nature. The area under marigold cultivation is increasing every year due to its increasing
demand throughout the world. To assess the effect of auto-exhaust on marigold plants transfer
experiment study was conducted. Three sites (Road stretches) within the municipal premises of Lucknow
city were identified based on survey of sites and the available data on air pollution loads, which differ with
each other very significantly in terms of the number of vehicles (source of pollution) plying there. A
comparison of contents of photosynthetic pigments, protein, proline and cysteine among Tagetes erecta
plants kept at three different sites very explicitly indicates the bearing of auto exhaust effect on them.
4. Marked alteration in bio-chemical characteristics of plant was ob served in plants grown at highly polluted
site as compared to plant grown at less polluted site.

ABSTRACT: Agriculture crop insurance has an important role in agricultural production and is a tool to
support farmers against threats. Investigation of factors affecting farmers’ adoption of national agriculture
insurance scheme strategy was the objective of this study. The research was conducted in Jammu and
Kashmir State, India. Survey was the research method, and data was collected by questionnaire and
schedule interview. Data were analyzed by Excel and SPSS 18 Version soft ware. Findings revealed that
the farmers with higher rate of Agriculture crops insurance adoption, were younger with higher level of
literacy, they had more crop area and more income, they had more awareness towards the goals and
advantages of crop insurance, they often consult with other farmers and they have more participation in
training classes and sessions. Also, rate of their contact with agricultural agents and insurance agents
was higher, they more participated in extension lectures and more visited crop insurance company’s
activities. The results revealed that four independent variables explain adoption of agriculture crop
insurance. Consult with other farmers is the main independent variable. The variables affecting crop
insurance (31 variables) were classified to nine factors according to factor analysis technique. Extension-
education factor, economic factor, communication channels factor, opinion leadership factor, facility
factor, confidential factor, supervision factor, and diversity factor are the factors. Based on the research
findings, some recommendations are presented at the end of the paper.

ABSTRACT: Efficient management of depleting water resources is important in order to enhance crop
productivity and to attain high water use efficiency. The study aimed at identifying irrigation management
practices, which could result in water savings through deliberate under irrigation. Field experiments were
conducted at Hill Campus, Ranichauri, Tehri-Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India on potato crop (Kufri
Chandramukhi) over a period of two years during the winter seasons of 2008-09 and 2009-10. The crop
was planted in first week of November and harvested in the last week of March spanning approximately
150 days. Three irrigation treatments were maintained based on the maximum allowable depletion (MAD)
of available soil water. The treatments were 20% (T1), 40% (T2) and 60% (T3) maximum allow able
depletion of available soil water. No soil water stress was maintained at the initial stages of the crop
development so as to allow the plant attain a healthy growth. Soil moisture content was measured by
gravimetric method periodically in 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45 cm soil profiles. Soil moisture showed a cyclic
temporal variation at all three selected soil depths. The magnitude of this variation was higher in 0-15 cm
soil profile and decreased in 15-30 and 30-45 cm soil profiles in that order. This trend was observed at all
schedules of irrigation. Field experiments revealed that irrigation schedule with 40% maximum allowable
depletion of available soil water gave the maximum water use efficiency for potato crop. For scheduling of
irrigation of potato crop, 0-30 cm soil profile should be considered as most of the required water to be
extracted from this layer by the plant.

ABSTRACT: The study was carried out to determine the effective inoculation method and optimum
concentration of local Oryctes virus (OrV) for successful infection of Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) adults in
laboratory which released to the field to spread the viral disease among healthy larvae and beetles for
their biological control. 0.1ml of 104 ppm of viral suspension was introduced orally to one set of beetles
and another set of beetles were allowed to swimming in the suspension for 10 minutes. Beetles were
dissected at different intervals to determine the period taken for infection. Five concentrations (101 ppm to
105 ppm) of virus suspensions were introduced to adult beetles orally to find the lethal concentration
(LC50) and lethal time (LT50). Percentage of infected beetles was significantly different (P<0.001) among
the two methods of inoculation and untreated control. After 21 days of inoculation, oral introduction
method, swim method and control recorded 88.8%, 44.4% and 11.1% of OrV infection, respectively
indicating the most effective inoculation method as oral introduction. Cumulative per cent mortality of O.
rhinoceros adults with 101
ppm,102
ppm, 103
ppm, 104
ppm and 105
ppm concentrations were recorded
as 7.3%, 25.1%, 33.3%, 81.4% and 100%, respectively. LC50 was 102.7
ppm and LT50 for 104 ppm and
105ppm concentrations were 23 days and 12 days, respectively. Best concentration to oral inoculation of
O. rhinoceros with OrV for field release was selected as 104 ppm.

ABSTRACT: An experiment to study the shelf life of four table grape varieties was conducted at National
Research Centre for Grapes, Pune (M.S.). Grape bunches packing and the cold storage condition for 30
days after pre cooling for 24 hours was according to the export standard. After cold storage, shelf life and
other quality parameters were recorded for four days. Lowest physiological loss of weight was recorded in
Sharad Seedless followed by Mahadev Seedless. These two varieties also performed better for the
quality parameters in terms of bunch weight, 5 berry weight and berry diameter which are favourable for
better shelf life. Significant differences were found for the quality parameters except total soluble solids
(TSS). Overall, Sharad Seedless and Mahadev Seedless recorded with the lowest per cent of berry fallen
and rotting among the four varieties studied.

ABSTRACT: The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2010-2011 with combination of
different sources of plant growth regulators to study their effect on vegetative growth and spike yield of
gladiolus. Experiment consisted of 16 treatments each replicated thrice and laid out in RBD. The results
obtained showed that the plant growth regulators significantly affected the growth parameters of gladiolus
such as maximum values of plant height (80.78cm and 82.22cm in Novalux and White Prosperity,
respectively), number of shoots in Novalux and White Prosperity (3.44 in each), number of leaves /plant
(20.78 and 20.44 in Novalux and White Prosperity, respectively), minimum days to spike initiation in
Novalux (76.67days) and in White Prosperity (78 days), minimum days to opening of the first floret (81.67
days in Novalux and 88.67 days in White Prosperity), first florets durability (7.56 days in Novalux and 7.11
days in White Prosperity), spike length (81.55cm in Novalux and 82.00cm in White Prosperity), number of
florets/spike (23.67 in Novalux and 18.33 in White Prosperity), number of spikes/plant (3.67 in Novalux
and 3.11 in White Prosperity) and spike yield /ha (295200 in Novalux and 279900 in White Prosperity).
The maximum value of yield and yield attributing parameters were found to be higher under the treatment
NAA @ 200ppm (T9).

ABSTRACT: Genetic variability in terms of correlation and path coefficient were studied for yield per plant
and its attributing traits in 16 genotypes of eggplant. Significant positive genotypic correlation coefficient
was observed by fruit weight, number of leaves per plant, number of fruits per plant and number of
flowers per plant. An overall observation of path coefficient studies revealed that the direct contribution of
fruit yield per plant, fruit yield per hectare, fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, and number of flowers
per plant was of higher magnitude on fruit yield. High negative direct effect was recorded in total sugar
followed by reducing sugar and fruit length. Direct selection may be executed considering these traits as
the main selection criteria to reduce in direct effects of the other characters during the development of
high-yielding eggplant varieties/hybrids.

ABSTRACT: For combating the glut at peak harvest it is imperative to improve the storage life of aonla
fruit. The object of the present study was to evaluate the effect of packaging and storage environment at
ambient temperature as well as under refrigeration for conservation of aonla fruits cv.NA-7. The treatment
comprised thermocol bowls, perforated polythene bags, card board, wooden boxes, perforated plastic
crates, earthen pots, gunny bags, refrigerator and control. Storage under refrigerator was found most
effective in retaining relatively superior skin colour, minimizing PLW and pathological losses and
conserving Vitamin ‘C’ and acidity contents in aonla fruits. Reduction was noticed in the metabolital status
i.e. TSS and sugars when compared with the storage under rest of the packaging and environmental
conditions obviously due to moisture loss at ambient temperature. The higher spoilage occurred mainly
due to black mould.

ABSTRACT: The present experiment was conducted to find out the interaction effect of variety, type of
cutting and IBA concentration on rooting in cuttings of croton. Overall performance of hard wood cutting of
broad leaf variety treated with 400ppm IBA was found significantly superior in inducing the highest rooting
percentage (82.34%), took lesser time for sprouting (10 days), survival per cent age (80.04%) and
sprouting percentage (88.66) than other treatments. The hot and humid condition were conducive for
growing semi-hard wood and hard wood cuttings of broad leaf as well as narrow leaf variety of croton
which were able to show good performance. Out of three types of cuttings, semi-hard wood cuttings and
200ppm IBA was found better in comparison to 400ppm IBA with broad leaf for rooting and establishment.
Therefore, it is concluded that croton can be multiplied by cuttings under green house condition with IBA
treatments.

ABSTRACT: Aonla plays an important role in human nutrition. The fruits are not consumed freely in fresh
form because of its astringent taste. But the excellent nutritive and therapeutic values of fruits have great
potentiality for processing in to various quality products. In present study different recipes of Aonla ready
to serve (RTS) was standardized to explore the processing potential of Aonla. There were five different
possibilities of recipes. The RTS pre pared from the recipes 10% pulp, 12% TSS and 0.30% acidity gave
highest organoleptic quality score followed by RTS pre pared from 10% pulp, 10% TSS and 0.30% acidity
and the quality of the pre pared RTS was maintained up to fourth month at ambient temperature.

ABSTRACT : Tall type primitive Chenopodium species are producing huge amounts of bio mass under
high input agriculture. If not managed properly, this bio mass is becoming a problem of plenty. To handle
this problem, the stems of these species were articulated in to a number of artefacts like bangle stands,
ecofriendly pens, pen stands, pot stands, flag stands, agarbatti stands, various types of hangers and
letter stands etc. Such diversified uses will make these chenopods more acceptable to society and
remunerative to farmers.

ABSTRACT: Vivipary is of unusual occurrence in papaya. In viviparic fruits, seeds germinate in side while
still they remain attached with fruits. Such fruits are insipid in taste. If cut exposed, the germinated seeds
inside the fruit look very clearly. High humidity and warm weathers appear associated with the viviparic
fruits in papaya.
