Transformation of Sandalwood Leaves (Santalum album) into Nutrient Rich Compo...AI Publications
It is significant to use renewable resources to maximize crop yields and minimize the environmental risks accompanying with chemical residues. Composting is an age old practice for the biological conversion of organic waste into a humus-like substance which can enhance physical, chemical and biological soil properties. Vermicomposting of leaf litter by Eisenia foetida and Eudrilus eugenia potentially play a substantial role in remediation of organic waste as well as building up of soil fertility for sustainable agriculture. Present study was based on the conversion of Sandal wood leaf waste into nutrient rich best source. Sandal wood leaf were chopped at fine level and later mixed with cattle dung in order to pre composting followed by addition of earthworm.Several factors were also analysed during process. It was found that physical factors viz. pH, temperature moisture content etc. were significantly fluctuating at initial time period but later it was stagnant at constant level. Volume of waste and density were also reduced at the end of process. Colour of waste also turned into black that was good for seed germination but bad for health of earthworm. Final product was found odour less. Present results revealed about favourable condition of addition of earthworm into leaf litter waste and also explore the capability of both earthworm species to degrade leaf litter after semi-digested condition.

Drip Fertigation in Sweet Pepper: A ReviewIJERA Editor
Sweet Pepper is one of the most important vegetable crops grown in India. Water has been identified as one of the scarcest inputs, which can severely restrict its growth unless it is carefully conserved and managed. Adoption of modern irrigation technique like drip irrigations is needed to be emphasized to increase water use efficiency and covering more area under irrigation. Drip fertigation is the most effective way to supply water and nutrients to the plants which not only saves water but also increases yield of fruits and vegetable crops. As reported by different research workers of the world, adoption of drip fertigation in sweet pepper results in saving of fertilizer up to 25 per cent, water saving up to 40 percent significant increase in yield, significant increase in water use efficiency and better quality produce.

ABSTRACT : Deteriorating air quality is peril to human health in urban areas. Vehicular traffic is the major
contributor to air pollution in cities. Street trees, being nearest to the source, can effectively reduce pollutants
from ambient air. Pollution tolerant species can be more effective in this process with minimal physiological
damage to their system. Pollution tolerance of the abundant street tree species in Ludhiana was studied and
most of them were found to have intermediate tolerance. 17.27 per cent of the trees were tolerant and 20.4 per
cent were sensitive. The most abundant species, Alstonia scholaris was sensitive to air pollution and can be
used as indicator. More number of pollution tolerant species should be planted in industrial and commercial
areas which have higher pollution load.

ABSTRACT: An attempt was made during 2011 to study the effect of different physico-chemical treatments on
ripening behaviour and post-harvest quality of Dashehari mango with a view to improve storage quality and
shelf-life of mango fruits. The experiment was designed under completely randomized design (CRD). Out of
ten treatments applied the fruits treated with ethrel 750 ppm had significantly better fruit quality over other
treatments in respect of physical parameters i.e., fruit skin colour, flavour/aroma, organoleptic taste,
marketability, fruit firmness, specific gravity (0.87), moisture loss (12.54%), decay (3.11 %), total soluble solids
(20.40° Brix), sugar content (14.69%), acidity content (0.16%) and sugar/acid ratio (91.81) followed by Ethrel
500 ppm {specific gravity (0.86), moisture loss (13.25%), decay (4.20 %), total soluble solids (TSS, 18.10°
Brix), sugar content (14.61%), acidity content (0.18%) and sugar/acid ratio (81.16)}. The post-harvest
treatment i.e., pedicellate fruits with ethrel + bavistin (750+1000 ppm) was found to be next best over other
treatments in respect of specific gravity (0.86 and 0.83), moisture loss (14.08% and 14.02%), decay (4.80 %
and 4.99%), total soluble solids (19.20° Brix and 19.00° Brix), sugar content (13.59% and 13.89%), acidity
content (0.19% and 0.18%) and sugar/acid ratio (71.84 and 81.70). Based on results obtained from the
present study, it can be concluded that ethrel 750 ppm was found to be best post-harvest treatment on account
of physical and chemical parameters of Dashehari mango.

ABSTRACT : Significant reduction in vegetative growth with increased severity of heading back was recorded
in all years of observations. Although, the vegetative growth of senile (control) trees was remained highest and
almost similar in all years of observations, but, among headed back plants, severely headed back (1.5 m) trees
exhibited smaller canopies followed by 2.0 m and 2.5 m, respectively. The intensity of pruning also had
significant effect on vegetative growth of trees. During the initial years, the canopy volume was decreased with
the severity of pruning with minimum canopy volume in trees pruned at 75 % intensity in all levels of heading
back. Un-pruned headed back plants exhibited higher canopy volume. The headed back plants exhibited
about 50 per cent, 40 per cent and 30 per cent reduction in tree canopy volume in 1.5 m, 2.0 m and 2.5 m
headed back trees as compared to un-headed back (senile trees) up to fifth years of rejuvenation, respectively.

ABSTRACT : Response of custard apple cv. “Arka Sahan” plants to integrated nutrient management was
carried out at Fruit Research Farm, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry,
Jhalawar, India during the year 2010-11. Results indicated that different treatments of integrated nutrient
sources influenced the growth and development characteristics viz. plant height, number of leaves/plant,
number of primary branches/plant, rootstock girth, scion girth, East-West and North-South spread of custard
apple cv. Arka Sahan during gestation period. The studies clearly revealed that treatment comprising
vermicompost in combination with 50% recommended dose of fertiliz er (RDF) and biofertilizers attained
significantly higher plant height, rootstock girth, scion girth, plant spread (E-W and N-S), leaf area and soil NPK
content over other treatments including control. This treatment combination also resulted in significantly better
impact with respect to higher vegetative growth parameters over other treatments including the control. The
application of vermicompost along with 50 % N through RDF and biofertilizers provided better nutrition as it
contained all the macro and micro nutrients required for growth and development of plants. It also improved
physicochemical properties of soil around the treated plants by reducing pH and EC, improving water holding
capacity and enriching the organic carbon and the N, P, K status of the soil over other treatments.

ABSTRACT : A technique for development of ready-to-fry dehydrated potato snack premix incorporating potato
flour, rice flour and various spices was standardized. The prepared dehydrated potato snack premix was
packed in LDPE bags and stored at room temperature for a period of 6 months to study the shelf-life and
quality attributes of the prepared product. The physicochemical parameters including ash content, protein
content, Free fatty acids and peroxide value of dehydrated premix remained unaffected during storage up to
six months with the exception of moisture which increased significantly (p < 0.05) during storage. Slight but
significant (p < 0.05) reductions in bioactive components including total phenolics and total antioxidant activity
of dehydrated snack premix occurred during storage. The ready to eat fried potato snack prepared from
dehydrated premix was found to be highly acceptable for up to 6 months of storage without any change in
sensory quality.

ABSTRACT: A study on response of nutrition on growth and flowering of Dendrobium orchids under low cost
poly house at Instructional farm, Department of Floriculture, College of Horticulture & Forestry, Pasighat,
Arunachal Pradesh was conducted during April 2011 to March 2012. Three levels of nutrient mixtures (NPK
19:19:19) viz. 2g/l, 4g/l and 8g/l with commercial micronutrient mixture at 0.2 per cent and four varieties
namely, TSG, Sonia, Thongchai Gold and Singapore White were selected for their evaluation. Significant
response of nutrition, varieties and their interaction was observed. Cultivar Singapore White showed maximum
plant height (65.09cm), number of leaves per cane (10.40), leaf length (19.75cm), cane girth (16.68mm) and
minimum internodal space (4.82cm), while, highest number of canes per clump (6.93) and leaf width (6.19cm)
was observed with cultivars Sonia and TSG, respectively.Earliness in flowering (93.45 days), increased flower
diameter (8.12cm), number of florets per spike (13.57), number of spikes per plant per year (3.24) and fresh
weight of spikes (34.07g) was associated with cultivar Sonia. However, cultivar TSG showed increased spike
length (45.65cm) and rachis length (30.81cm). Higher dose of nutrition (8g/l) enhanced growth and flowering
characters of all varieties as compared to lower dose. In interaction, significant response was noticed with
higher dose of nutrition in cultivar Sonia, TSG and Singapore White, respectively.

ABSTRACT : The present investigation was conducted during 2012 at Vegetable Research Centre, Pantnagar,
U.S.Nagar, Uttarakhand. The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 29 genotypes
along with two checks in three replications. Genetic variability was studied for 17 quantitative characters. The
results revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters. High genotypic and
phenotypic coefficient of variations were observed for number of fruit clusters per plant (49.84 and 51.16,
respectively) and lowest for days to first fruit picking (1.51 and 1.41 respectively). Heritability was found low for
days to first fruit picking (0.13%) and high for number of fruit clusters per plant (100%). High genetic advance
was observed for 1000 seed weight (484.88) whereas lowest for fruit diameter (0.24). Genotypic correlation
coefficient was higher than phenotypic correlation coefficient.

ABSTRACT : The recently introduced under cultivation plant species Solidago canadensis L. is commonly
known as ‘Goldenrod’ belongs to family Asteraceae. It is a perennial in nature and unexploited flower crop
cultivated in limited areas for its flower stalks. Now a day farmers are growing this crop commercially in a
limited area. The trial was conducted to evaluate the nitrogen levels and type of cuttings during two seasons
(summer and rainy) with six nitrogen levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 kg N/ha). The nitrogen was applied
once during main harvest. Main harvest had pronounced effect on vegetative parameters during summer and
rainy plantings except number of suckers and fresh weight of plant, which was higher during both plantings.
While earliest flowering (80.20 days) was observed in ratoon harvesting during summer planting. While, under
rainy planting the main harvest provided more number of panicles per plant and per hectare. The application of
250 kg N/ha had pronounced effect on vegetative growth parameters which had increased all vegetative
growth parameters. Nitrogen at 250 kg N/ha produced highest longevity of inflorescence, yield of panicles per
plant and per hectare during summer and rainy planting, respectively Earliest flowering was found at 200 kg
N/ha (73.70 days) during summer and at 250 kg N/ha (98.10 days) during rainy season.

ABSTRACT : An experiment was conducted to study the effects of different growing media and storage of stone
on mango seedling during 2012-13. Different media mixtures and storage of stones showed significant effect
on morphological characters of rootstock. The highest stone germination (74.26 %), stem diameter (6.15 mm),
length (27.19 cm) and girth (5.21 mm) of tap root and vigour index (4719.34) was recorded in M3 (soil + FYM +
leaf mould in 1:1:1 proportion) media whereas, stone sown immediately after extraction from fully ripe mango
fruit showed the maximum stone germination (94.63 %), stem diameter (6.99 mm), length (31.74 cm) and girth
(6.21 mm) of tap root and vigour index (7373.68). However, the treatment M S3 0 containing mixture of soil + FYM
+ leaf mould with freshly extracted mango stone from ripe fruits recorded the least time to germination (22.80
days) and maximum plant height (46.60 cm), number of leaves per seedling (18.03), fresh weight of shoot
(22.33 g) and root (18.50 g), dry weight of shoot (17.43 g) and root (12.10 g) accumulation

ABSTRACT : The present investigation was conducted to elucidate the genetic characters viz. variability and
heritability between yield and yield components of different tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genotypes.
Eighteen genotypes including released varieties, landraces and germplasms were used in this investigation for
assessment of quality, yield and yield components. The experiment was conducted during summer; 2013-14 at
field of Department Vegetable Science, K.R.C. College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, Belagavi district Karnataka,
India. Data on morphological characters were recorded from mean value of five randomly selected plants in
each genotype. The genotypes exhibited a wide range of variability for all the characters studied. Analysis of
variance showed significant variation among the genotypes for all tested characters. Phenotypic coefficient of
variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the characters studied. Days to
first fruit maturity showed the highest genotypic and phenotypic variance (3427.10and 6531.93) whereas TSS
(°Brix) showed the lowest ones (0.55 and 0.63). High genotypic variance was observed for most of the
characters indicating more contribution of genetic component for the total variation. Genotypic coefficient of
variations (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were highest for yield/ha (341.89 and 323.12),
whereas the lowest ones were for days to first flowering (5.82 and 7.21). Higher GCV and PVC were recorded
for most of the characters indicating higher magnitude of variability for these characters. The highest
heritability was recorded for yield/ha (96.34%), while the lowest was for plant height (45.30%). High heritability
(broad senses) estimates were observed for all the tested characters indicating that these characters are
controlled by additive genes action which can be improved by simple selection.

ABSTRACT : Five bio-pesticides viz., Trichoderma, Aspergillus, Penicillium, VAM and Biodynamic culture were
tried to find out their lethal effects on muskmelon wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis when
applied through soil. Trichoderma and Biodynamic culture at 5% concentration (w/w) were effective as these
significantly reduced the wilt incidence with improved clinical aspects. Least plumule decay was observed with
Trichoderma treatment. Similarly, seedling and plant mortality, flower and fruit set and fruit yield parameters
were significantly better with Trichoderma treatment. Other better results were observed in Biodynamic culture,
9. VAM, Penicillium and Aspergillus, respectively. All the treatments were found significantly superior over
control. Precisely, muskmelon wilt can be effectively controlled through soil application of Trichoderma fungus
@ 5% concentration.

ABSTRACT : Sixteen germplasm accessions belonging Ocinum (nine Ocimum basilicum and seven Ocimum
sanctum) were subjected to Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis in relation to morphometric
parameters for estimating the extent of diversity within and between species. Morphological evaluation of the
16 accessions for selected characters showed qualitative variation among the accessions studied. The RAPD
analysis revealed comparable inter and intra species variation. A total of 144 bands amplified, 90.79% was
polymorphic and 9.02% was unique to a particular accession which made it distinct from all other accessions.
Maximum similarity (0.71) was measured between accession IC-369247 and IC-201233 and least similarity
(0.34) was measured in IC-387837 and EC-388896. The RAPD profiles would be useful in genetic
improvement and authentication of species and genotypes of this medicinally and economically important
genus.

ABSTRACT : The present investigation was carried out on cowpea variety IFC-901, to study the efficacy of
doses of bioagents on nodulation of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) in pot condition consecutively for
three years. In terms of nodulation status, the pooled data of three year revealed that all the treatments were
significantly superior in increasing the nodules/plant as compared to control. Number of nodules was higher
when the treatments were given with Trichoderma species. T. harzianum recorded the best results in
increasing the number of nodules against M. phaseolina, R. solani and F. oxysporum infested plants. The
study revealed that 15 g dose was most effective for all bioagents.

ABSTRACT : Results of the field experiment revealed that vigour of marigold plant was significantly increased
due to foliar application of NAA and microelements. The production and size of floral heads were also
improved significantly by the NAA and microelement treatments. The spray of 100 ppm NAA at 15 days after
transplanting and 0.50% ZnSO4 at 30 days after transplanting proved significantly effective for yield and
floriferousness of marigold cv Pusa Basanti. Minimum plant height was observed in control while the maximum
height was recorded by NAA100ppm.Values were in between with the borax treatment. Parameters viz.,
diameter of main stem, spread of plant along the row, spread of plant across the row, number of primary
branches/plant, length of the longest primary branch, number of secondary branches on the highest primary
branch, number of leaves on highest primary branch and fresh weight of plant canopy were found to be
influenced significantly with treatments and followed same pattern as in case of plant height. It seems that
10. auxins have great potential to determine plant orientation, flower bud differentiation and economic production.

ABSTRACT : Character association and path analysis in twelve advanced breeding lines of chilli was studied
for 16 important traits. The phenotypic and genotypic association of fruit yield was significantly positive with per
cent fruit set, number of fruits/plant, number of secondary branches/plant, plant height, fruit weight, total fruit
chlorophyll content, pericarp weight and number of primary branches at both genotypic and phenotypic level.
However, days to first flowering and days to 50 per cent flowering showed negative and significant correlation
with total yield.The genotypic and phenotypic path coefficient revealed that total green chilli yield had high
direct positive effect from number of fruit / plant and pericarp weight. So selection done based on number of
fruits/plant and pericarp weight would be rewarding.

ABSTRACT : The world over there is heavy reliance on three crops—rice, wheat and maize to fulfill dietary
energy requirement of the mankind. There are many other crops of promise which can be utilized to share the
dominating reliance on these crops. Jackfruit is one of them. Its ripe fruits contain 22.4–24 per cent
carbohydrates and are rich source of it. They contain 0.8 per cent mineral matter. The seeds containing
32.6–38.4 per cent carbohydrates are richer than fruits. Their mineral matter content is 1.2–3.5 per cent and
are hence better than fruits in this regard. Of the total weight of fruits, pulp constitutes about 30 per cent. It
indicates good proportion of edible mass of fruits. The fruits can be hence popularized as one of the food crops
11. of high utility. It can be grown on marigold soil with less input. It can go as one of the components in agr/horti
based farming system under agroforestry.
