Genetic variation is crucial for successful barley improvement. Genomic technologies are improving dramatically and are providing access to the genetic diversity within this important crop species. Diverse collections of barley germplasm are being assembled and mined via genome-wide association studies and the identified variation can be linked to the barley sequence assembly. Introgression of favorable alleles via marker-assisted selection is now faster and more efficient due to the availability of single nucleotide polymorphism platforms. High-throughput genotyping is also making genomic selection an essential tool in modern barley breeding.
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.
Pulses are a very important source of protein in Indian diets as majority of population is vegetarian. however, the production of pulses is not keeping pace with the growing population in the country. lentil is one of the important Rabi pulses. it is one of the oldest pulse crops and the most nutritious of the pulses. it is also used as a cover crop to check the soil erosion in problem areas. lentil contributes about 6% in total pulses area as well as production of India. It is mostly eaten as "DAL". the pulse is first converted into split pulse or 'dal' by the removal of skin and the separation of the fleshy cotyledons. It is cooked easily and hence preferred. It is good for patients too. Lentil contains about 11% water, 25% protein and 60% carbohydrates. It is also rich in calcium, iron and niacin

INTRODUCTION
Rapeseed and mustard (Brassica spp.) is an important oilseed crop valued for its oil content.
Among the oilseeds, rapeseed and mustard play a very important role in the North Eastern Hill Region which produces most important edible oils.
India is the third largest rapeseed-mustard producer in the world after China and Canada with 12 per cent of world’s total production (2006-07).
This crop accounts for nearly one-third of the oil produced in India, making it the country’s key edible oilseed crop. Due to the gap between domestic availability and actual consumption of edible oils, India has to resort to import of edible oils.
Rapeseed-mustard is the major source of income especially even to the marginal and small farmers in rainfed areas.
Since these crops are cultivated mainly in the rain-fed and resource scarce regions of the country, their contribution to livelihood security of the small and marginal farmers in these regions is also very important.
By increasing the domestic production substantial import substitution can be achieved. Due to its low water requirement (80-240 mm), rapeseed-mustard crops fit well in the rainfed cropping system.
Cultivated in 26 states in the northern and eastern plains of the country, about 6.8 mha is occupied under these crops (2006- 07). Nearly 30.7% area under rapeseed mustard is under rainfed farming.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. INTRODUCTION
Rapeseed and mustard (Brassica spp.) is an important oilseed crop
valued for its oil content.
Among the oilseeds, rapeseed and mustard play a very important role
in the North Eastern Hill Region which produces most important edible
oils.
India is the third largest rapeseed-mustard producer in the world after
China and Canada with 12 per cent of world’s total production (2006-
07).
This crop accounts for nearly one-third of the oil produced in India,
making it the country’s key edible oilseed crop. Due to the gap between
domestic availability and actual consumption of edible oils, India has to
resort to import of edible oils.
Rapeseed-mustard is the major source of income especially even to the
marginal and small farmers in rainfed areas.
4. Since these crops are cultivated mainly in the rain-fed and resource scarce regions
of the country, their contribution to livelihood security of the small and marginal
farmers in these regions is also very important.
By increasing the domestic production substantial import substitution can be
achieved. Due to its low water requirement (80-240 mm), rapeseed-mustard crops
fit well in the rainfed cropping system.
Cultivated in 26 states in the northern and eastern plains of the country, about 6.8
mha is occupied under these crops (2006- 07). Nearly 30.7% area under rapeseed
mustard is under rainfed farming.
5. SOIL
Rapeseed and mustard crops are grown on light loam, loam and clay loam soils.
Excessive alkaline or acidic soils are not suitable for cultivation of these crops.
The land preparation should be done properly with two ploughings followed by
planking to get a well pulverized, leveled land with good drainage facility.
7. Mustard - Chhattisgarh Sarson 2
Rice based cropping system in Bastar Plateau Zone as well as entire Chhattisgarh.
11.8 quintals per hectare It has 22.95%, 18.2%, 13.22% superior yield over Vardhan,
Varuna and Kranti respectively.or its attractiveness.
It gives 15-25% more economic yield in comparison to local and other
recommended varieties
8. Sarson Sowing Time:
The optimum sowing time for rapeseed and mustard is last week of September to
mid of October.
Delay in sowing results in exposure of crop to moisture stress at reproductive stage.
9. Seed rate & Spacing:
Recommended seed rate, distance between rows and plants should be followed
properly to get optimum plant population per unit area.
A seed rate of 5-6 kg/ha is sown in rows of 30-40 cm and plant to plant distance of
10-15 cm apart.
10. Cultural practices:
Thinning should be done 25-30 days after sowing to maintain proper plant to plant
distance according to the recommendations.
Further one hoeing is done to promote plant growth.
11. Fertilizer Application:
A fertilizer dose of 50:60:30 kg NPK/ha for rainfed crop of north eastern states is
found to be optimum.
Proper dose of fertilizer should be applied to exploit the full yield potential of
rapeseed and mustard.
Application of Sulpher (20 kg ZnSO4) and Boron (1 kg) has been found to be
beneficial in improving the seed and oil yield of mustard.
12. Plant Protection:
Two important diseases of rapeseed and mustard in this region
is white rust and Alternaria Blight.
For controlling these diseases, spray of Blitox-50 (0.3%) or
Diethane M 45 @ 2 g/l of water at 10 days interval is found to
be effective.
Among aphid species, mustard aphid is a key pest of rapeseed
and mustard causing 35-40% reduction in yield and 5-6 %
reduction in oil content.
Spraying of Dimecron 0.25 ml/lit of water 2-3 times or Rogor 1.5
ml/lit of water is found to be quite effective.
Early sown crop escapes the aphid incidence in rapeseed and
mustard.
13. Water management:
Rapeseed and mustard is sown on residual soil moisture hence no irrigation is
required in rapeseed and mustard.
But in the case of moisture stress one irrigation at flowering stage and siliqua
formation stage is required to obtain good yield.
Irrigation increases the yield of rapeseed and mustard significantly.
14. Mulching
Mulching with rice straw @ 4 ton/ha results in increase of mustard seed yield
significantly.
Mulching helps in improving the moisture storage capacity of soil and evaporation
losses are minimized by the use of mulches on the soil surface.
15. Crop Rotation
Rapeseed and mustard are grown in rotation with other crops like
maize, rice, groundnut, french bean etc.
The inclusion of rapeseed and mustard in cropping systems on
raised beds increase the production of oilseeds.
The following crop rotation may be followed in NEH Region:
Dry Upland terraces
Maize-mustard
Maize+French
bean-mustard
Rice-Mustard
Frenchbean-mustard
Groundnut-mustard
Lowland/wetland conditions (raised beds)
Maize-mustard Rice-mustard/pea /frenchbean
Rice-mustard-tomato
Rice-mustard-Potato
16. Harvesting:
It should be harvested when the pods turn yellowish.
The crop is liable to shattering, hence should be harvested just before the pods
open in order to avoid losses.
Threshing is done by bullocks or a tractor. Seed must be dried in sun till the
moisture content comes down to 8 percent.
17. Yield
With the use of improved varieties and other agronomic practices a yield
of 10-12 q/ha of rapeseed and 15-20 q/ha of mustard can be obtained
easily.
18. Economics of Mustard
Cultivation
It takes 2-2.5 Kgs of Hybrid seeds to be cultivated in
one acre. On an average the yield per acre is 6-8
quintals. Average crop duration of these seeds is 120-
125 days approximately. In India nearly 98-99% of the
cultivated area comprises hybrid seeds. Therefore we
shall consider the various cost incurred in planting with
the Hybrid seeds.
Hybrid varieties grown for commercial purpose are
1. Pusa Agrani
2. Varuna
3. Pusa Mahak
4. Narendra Agethi
5. 45 S 42
6. 45 S 468
7. Shredda
19. Cost of Cultivation For 1 Acre Land
Land Preparation Cost: Ploughing through tractor is done
during field preparation. Average Tractor charge to plough
one acre land is Rs 1000. One labour is enough per acre for
field preparation and cost of one labour is Rs.200.
Cost of Seed: Quality seeds to be purchased for ensuring
good returns. Seed rate to cultivate one acre is 2-2.5 kgs.
Cost of 1 Kg of quality seeds is Rs.200. Thus cost of
purchasing seed per acre is Rs.500.
Planting Cost: 2 Laborers are normally sufficient to do the
planting on an acre of land. Therefore planting cost amounts
to Rs 400.
Fertilizer and Weeding Cost: Mustard can be grown with
lower use of manure and fertilizer quantities thereby lowering
the overall cost. For one acre land fertilizer application cost is
Rs.1200 and cost of using manure is Rs.800. In context to
weeding cost, the charges for inter cultivation is Rs. 500 while
cost of spraying herbicides is Rs.600.
20. Protection Cost for Mustard Crop: Plant protection
measures i.e. protecting against Saw Fly and Saw
Dust totals nearly Rs.750-800 per acre.
Miscellaneous Cost: Includes expenses on Family
labor, land rent, interest on capital, Farm Machinery
Depreciation cost, electricity charges etc. for an acre
Land. These costs work out to be close to Rs.1175-
1200.
Mustard Harvesting Cost Harvesting is normally done
after 120-130 days of sowing. 2 Laborers are required
to harvest mustard crop in an acre, with the help of
sickles. Then, after the harvesting, two laborers are
again required to separate the seeds through
winnowing etc. Total cost mounts to Rs.800 therefore.
Transportation Cost: Final cost is incurred over
transporting the produce to nearby market for selling,
which is around Rs.250-300.
21. Computation of mustard production
cost:
We now compute the net expenses incurred on farming in one acre land. On
an average mustard yield per acre is 5-6 quintals. But high yielding varieties
and better agronomic practices can increase the yield to 6-8 quintals per
acre. The workings are given in the table given below:
22. Therefore Total Cost equals to Rs8750 per acre
approximately. It is advisable to add at least 10% of total
cost, considering other factors, like post-harvest losses
etc. Therefore Net cost comes early Rs. 9625/acre
approximately.
As on September 4, 2020 the average grades of Mustard
were being traded around Rs.5000-5500. Taking
Rs.5200/qtl as the average market price, net realization for
selling 6 quintals (taking minimum possible yield per
acre) will be Rs.31200.
Therefore farming of mustard in acre of land shall
generate net profit of Rs.22000 (approximately).
