This document summarizes a seminar on breeding crops for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. It discusses how abiotic stresses like high/low temperatures, drought, salinity, and toxicity reduce crop yields worldwide by 65-87% on average. It describes how stresses cause oxidative stress in plants by producing reactive oxygen species. It then outlines various abiotic stress factors and how they impact plants, as well as stress tolerance mechanisms employed by plants, such as osmoprotectants and heat avoidance through transpirational cooling or leaf rolling. Finally, it provides examples of crop varieties that are tolerant to high temperatures, humidity, drought, and other stresses.
Pruning and training cucurbitaceous vegetable crops can improve their growth, yield and fruit quality. Research has found that pruning lateral branches on cucumber at 60cm from the base increased fruit number and yield. For bottle gourd, pruning all branches up to 45cm and pinching the vine at the 6th node improved flowering and yield. Training vines on structures like trellises also increased yields of crops like bitter gourd and pumpkin compared to no training. Different training systems like bower, T-trellis and umbrella produced higher yields than ground cultivation for various cucurbits.

Abstract
The cumin black (var. Rajendra Shyama) was cultivated on field under treatments including three nutrient sources i.e., inorganic fertilizer, farmyard manure and bio-fertilizer Azophos. Inorganic fertilizers were applied in three levels viz., no fertilizer (C0), 75% of recommended dose (C1) and 100% of recommended dose (C2); farm yard manure (FYM) and Azophos was applied in two levels viz., with (F1) and without (F0) FYM; with (B1) and without (B0) bio-fertilizer. The results showed that C2 recorded maximum plant height (52.37 cm), leaf chlorophyll (12.37 SPAD), seed per capsule (89.62) and yield per plant (2.06 g). F1 showed positive influence resulting higher values for plant height (49.38 cm), yield per plant (1.95 g) and seed oil content (32.07 mg/g). B1 showed higher leaf chlorophyll (12.56 SPAD), seed per capsule (88.72), yield per plant (1.67g), and oil content (32.27 mg/g) over control treatments. The highest seed oil content was recorded when F1 was used in combination with C2, which was 15.22% higher over C2 alone.
