Pea is an important vegetable in India; the crop is generally cultivated for its green pods. It is highly nutritive and is rich in protein. It is used as a vegetable or in soup, canned frozen or dehydrate. It is cooked as a vegetable along or with potatoes. Split grains of pea are widely used for dal. Pea straw is a nutritious fodder.
Carrots that are rich in vitamin A is a great source of dietary supplement .It can be cultivated very easily at temperate regions by following the proper cultivation techniques.

The coconut is known for its great versatility as seen in the many uses of its different parts and found throughout tropics and subtopics. Coconuts are different from any other fruits because they contain a large quantity of “water” and when immature they are known as tender- nuts or jelly- nuts and may be harvested for drinking. When mature, they still contain some water and can be used as seed nuts or processed to give oil from kernel, charcoal from the hard shell and coir from the fibrous husk.

Tomato is grown practically in every country of the world in outdoor fields, greenhouses, and net houses. The leading tomato producing countries in the world are China, India, USA, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Italy, Spain, and Brazil.
It occupies an area of about 4.73 million hectares with a production of 163.96 million tonnes in the world (FAO, 2016). It is the world’s 3rd largest vegetable crop after potato and onion
Tomato is the most widely cultivated crop in India. Tomato is a very important vegetable crop regarding both income and nutrition. Tomatoes are predominantly summer crops, but it can be cultivated throughout the year.
In its fruit contain vitamins like ‘A’ and ‘C’ and antioxidant in abundance quantity. Due to the unique properties contained in its fruit, tomato demand remains almost the same throughout the year.
Tomatoes are also used as fresh fruits, and they are cooked and cooked in pickles, chutneys, soups, ketchup, sauces, etc.
Odoiporus longicollis, is one of the severe pest of Banana, which cause severe damage to rhizome and pseudostem. Generally both grubs and adults infect the plant and decline the production.

Hamdard Laboratories (India), is a Unani pharmaceutical company in India (following the independence of India from Britain, "Hamdard" Unani branches were established in Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and Pakistan). It was established in 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in Delhi, and became
a waqf (non-profitable trust) in 1948. It is associated with Hamdard Foundation, a charitable educational trust.
Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
The goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him.
They had always maintained that working in old, traditional ways would not be entirely fruitful. A broader outlook was essential for a continued and meaningful existence. their effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place and thus they made an entry into an expansive world of discovery and research.
Hamdard Laboratories was founded in 1906 in Delhi by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and Ansarullah Tabani, a Unani practitioner. The name Hamdard means "companion in suffering" in Urdu language.(itself borrowed from Persian) Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed was born in Pilibhit City UP, India in 1883 to Sheikh Rahim Bakhsh. He is said to have learnt the complete Quran Sharif by heart. He also studied the origin of Urdu and Persian languages. Subsequently, he acquired the highest degree in the unani system of medicine.
Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed got in touch with Hakim Zamal Khan, who had a keen interest in herbs and was famous for identifying medicinal plants. Having consulted with his wife, Abdul Majeed set up a herbal shop at Hauz Qazi in Delhi in 1906 and started to produce herbal medicine there. In 1920 the small herbal shop turned into a full-fledged production house.
Hamdard Foundation was created in 1964 to disburse the profits of the company to promote the interests of the society. All the profits of the company go to the foundation.
After Abdul Majeed's death, his son Hakeem Abdul Hameed took over the administration of Hamdard Laboratories at the age of fourteen.
Even with humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him. Unfortunately, he passed away quite early but his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only kept the institution in existence but also expanded it. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed took on all responsibilities. After helping with his younger brother's upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Both brothers Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed

Rhinoceros
Beetle
(Orycetes
rhinoceros)
The adult beetle bores into the
unopened fronds and spathes.
Attacked fronds when fully opened
show characteristic geometric cuts
Spraying 0.01% Carbaryl
(50WP) in the breeding
sites of the beetle help
destroy the larva.
Biological control using
the virus Baculovirus
oryctus (release 10 - 15
virus infected beetles in 1
ha)
Red Palm
weevil
(Rhynchophoru
s ferrugineus)
Presence of holes on the stem,
oozing out of viscous brown fluid
and extrusion of chewed up fibers
through the hole.
Practice clean cultivation
and avoid the injury to the
stem. Use pheromone
trap for attack of insect.
Inject attacked palms with
1% Carbaryl (20gm/liter).
18. Black headed Caterpillar
(Opisina arenosella)
They eat the green matter
of the leaves and live under
surface of leaflets.
Release of parasitoids like
Gorriozus nephantidis,
Elasmus nephantidis and
Brachimeria nosatoi.Spray
the under surface of leaves
with 0.02% Dichlorvos
(Dichlorvos 100EC).
Coreid Bug
(Paradasynus rostratus )
The attacked buttons do not
develop resulting in
immature nut fall. The nuts
if developed may become
barren.
Spraying has to be done 3
times a year.
Apply 0.1% Carbaryl on the
inflorescence after the
receptive phase of
the female flower.
Rats Attack tender nuts resulting
in immature nut fall.
Use poison bait with zinc
phosphate.Use rat traps.

can be prevented by fixing
mechanical barriers upto
2m height from ground level
using 40cm sized G.I.
sheets.
19. Bud Rot:
Phytophthora palmivora
The earlier symptom is the
yellowing of one or two
younger leaves. Black spots
appear on spindle leaves.
In the later stages the
spindle withers and drops
down.
Spray 1% Bordeaux mixture
on the crown of the
neighboring palms as a
prophylactic measure.
Spray with 1% Bordeaux
mixture during May and
September if the disease
occur frequently.
Stem bleeding:
Ceratocystis
paradoxa and Chalara
paradoxa
Exudation of reddish brown
liquid through cracks
developing on the stem.
Decaying of tissue at the
bleeding point and
development of big holes
inside the trunk.
Avoid any mechanical injury
to the stem. To avoid the
spread of disease ont o
upper trunk, root feeding
with 5% calixin may be
adopted on May-June,
sept.-oct. and Jan.- Feb.
Tanjavore wilt
(Ganoderma lucidium)
Decay of root system,
browning of outer leaves,
appearance of bleeding
patches on stem and arrest
fruit set.
