Scientific Name: Mangifera indica L.
Common Names: Mamidi, Am
Chromosome number : 2n = 2x = 40
The origin of mango is Indo – Burma region.
In India Mango is acclaimed as “King of fruits”.
Floral Biology :
Inflorescence :
Inflorescence is a large and terminal panicle.
The branching of the inflorescence is usually tertiary, rarely quaternary, but the ultimate branching is always cymose.
The mango inflorescence or panicle bears mainly two types of flowers – male and hermaphrodite.
The panicle bear 500-6000 flowers of which 1-70% are bisexual, remaining are male depending on the cultivar and temperature during its development. The percentage of perfect flowers varies between 0.74 per cent in Rumani, 16.41 to 55.7 per cent in Neelum and up to 69.8 per cent in Langra.

Okra is a seed propagated hot weather crop sensitive to frost, low temperature, and waterlogging as well as drought conditions. It is a multipurpose crop due its various uses. It is grown in many countries and cultivars from different countries have certain adapted distinguishing characteristics specific to the country to which they belong. In home consumption India tops the world. Genetic diversity exists for number of characters. Genetic resistance involving interspecific crosses have been exploited commercially for Yellow Vein Mosaic virus. Hybrids are very much popular in this crop and the hybrid seed production is based on hand emasculation and hand pollination. Proper isolation is necessary between two fields of two varieties for maintaining the genetic purity of the stock.
Micropropagation (tissue culture or invitro culture) refers to the multiplication of plants, in an aseptic condition and in artificial growth medium from plant parts like meristem tip, callus, embryos anthers, axillary buds etc. It is a method by which a true to type and disease free entire plant can be regenerated from a miniature piece of plant in aseptic condition in artificial growing medium rapidly throughout the year.

The Effect of Different Water Types Techniques on the Development of the Kala...AI Publications
Ornamental plant cultivation requires authentic notions and design skills. Kalanchoe daigremontiana, which is a noteworthy ornamental plant in this sector, which generally operates as a family business, has recently started to take place in both pots and terrariums. This plant, which saves a lot of water due to being a CAM (Crassulaceae Acid Metabolism) plant, continues its lineage with the baby leaves it forms. In this study, the effects of water, which undertakes one of the key tasks in plant development, on certain yield and growth parameters of Kalanchoe daigremontiana through its application on pure-sterile-fountain-mineral-mix varieties was investigated. In this study, in which vermicompost, which is not used much in the ornamental plant sector, and peat, which is frequently used, are applied together (1:2.5 ratio), the highest growth parameter values were obtained from plants grown in pots irrigated with distilled water. Among these values, the difference between plant height (18.00 cm), internode distance (3.77 cm), stem dry weight (0.09 g), baby leaf number (18.33 pieces/leaf) and chlorophyll (47.30) values were found statistically significant (P<0.01 and P<0.05). Nevertheless, the highest leaf number (11.33 pieces), leaf fresh and dry weight (2.91 g-0.08 g), stem fresh weight (0.86 g), leaf projection diameter (6.20 cm) and stem diameter (2.67 mm) were obtained from plants in pots treated with distilled water, however, the difference between the values was not statistically significant (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The highest values of some macronutrient and micronutrient element values of the plant were obtained from plants irrigated with pure water, yet, no nutrient deficiency was found in any plant. This can be attributed to the easier decomposition and breakdown of nutrients due to the fact that pure water dissolves the nutrients in peat and vermicompost. Indeed, the fact that the lowest growth and yield parameters are obtained in pots irrigated with mineral water and that the leaves do not form offspring, confirms this.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

4. INTRODUCTION
Common name: Sprouting broccoli
Scientific name: Brassica oleraceae var. italica
Family: Brassicaceae
Chromosome number: 2n=2x=18
Origin: Meditaranian region
Proginator: B. oleraceae var. sylvestris
5/26/2021 4
Dept. of VSC
Broccoli is recently introduced to India during 1990 from USA.
5. 5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 5
Broccoli is an Italian word dervied from Latin word Brachium – arm or branch
or Brocco- Young Shoot
In Italy, used as vegetable from early times
In USA large part of the produce goes to freezing industry
Edible part comprises unopened green flower bud clusters along with
part of fleshy stem
All the species of Brassica contains glucosinolates (goitrogenic
substance)
It is mostly cultivated in hilly regions of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu
Kashmir , Uttar Pradesh and Nilgiri hills.
6. MEDICINAL VALUE OF BROCCOLI
Broccoli contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties, such as
Di-indolyl methane and small amounts of Selenium.
The 3, 3-di-indolylmethane found in broccoli is a potent modulator of the innate
immune response system with- Anti-viral, Anti-bacterial, and Anticancer activity
“Glucoraphanin” which can be processed into an anti-cancer compound
“Sulforaphane”
Excellent source of “Indole-3-carbinol”, a chemical which boosts DNA repair in
cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells.
Sulforaphane induces the production of certain enzymes that can deactivate free-
radicals and carcinogens.
5/26/2021 6
Dept. of VSC
The real potent nutritional value of broccoli lies in substances called “Isothiocyanates”.
They are a class of very potent anti-carcinogens. Meaning, they fight and help prevent
cancer. Tests have shown that broccoli’s anti-cancer compounds greatly protected mice from
stomach cancer( Abdullah and Koyama, 2009).
Mukherji and Mishra, 2012
7. Broccoli sprouts have been developed under the trade name
“Brocco Sprouts” that have a consistent level of sulforaphane –
as much as 20 times higher than the levels found in mature
heads of broccoli (Jackson and Singletary, 2008).
Sulforaphane, boosts the production of an enzyme known to
neutralize carcinogens before they trigger tumor growth.
5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 7
Broccoli is good. Broccoli Sprouts are even better. At a mere 3 days old, they
contain at least 20 times as much of disease- fighting Sulforaphane
Glucosinolate (SGS) as their elders.
It has been studied that just 3 servings a month of raw broccoli can reduce
the risk of bladder cancer by as much as 40 %( Liu2009).

12. BOTANY
Sprouting broccoli plant grows erect about 60 cm high
with large flower heads, which are arranged in a tree-
like structure on branching sprout from a thick edible
stalk
Plant Habit: Herbaceous, Biennial
Stem: Short and succulent
Leaves: Glabrous, Glacous and succulent, alternate,
rosette of leaves in early developmental stage, large
with wavy margin.
Root System: Shallow root
Flower stalks are longer than cauliflower
The Sprouts in the axils of leaves develop strongly,
specially after the removal of the terminal head
Flowering is hastened by exposure to low temperatures
Both terminal head and the sprouts with bud clusters are
consumed as human food.
13. FLOWERS
Complete (Actinomorphic and bisexual)
Entamophyllus (Honey bees)
Highly cross-pollinated crop due to sporophytic self-incompatibility, which is
determined by up to 10 alleles at S locus
14. 5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 14
Androecium is tetradynamous i.e., there are
two short and four long stamens
Flowers are borne in racemes on main stem
and on its branches.
Calyxes are gamosepalous with four sepals
and the corolla gamopetalous with four petals
and cruciform
Anthesis takes place early in the morning
between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. and remains
continued up to 11:30 a.m. depending upon
prevailing weather conditions.
Pollen fertility is maximum on the day of
anthesis.
Stigma is receptive 2–3 days before the day of
anthesis due to protogyny condition of the
flowers and remains receptive even up to 4 days
after anthesis
15. The glycoproteins present in the stigma hinder the pollen
germination and penetration of pollen tubes through the styler
tissue.
Cytoplasmic male sterility (Ogura male sterile radish) system
in which male sterility is manifested due to interaction of
cytoplasm, and nuclear gene is generally utilized in hybrid seed
production of broccoli
5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 15
Pollen fertility is maximum on the day of anthesis.
Stigma is receptive 2–3 days before the day of anthesis due to
protogyny condition of the flowers and remains receptive even up
to 4 days after anthesis
16. 5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 16
Seed
Fruit is glabrous siliqua
Pods are linear, cylindrical, or conical, which dehisce longitudinally
There are between 10-30 seeds per siliqua
1g= 325 seeds
19. Brocooli is a cool season crop.
Seed germination takes place at 12-16oC
and optimum temperature for growth is
16-20oC.
Hot weather results in development of
small and thin leaves in the head.
Generally, the plants of broccoli are
hardy, can withstand fairly heavy frosts.

20. It requires moist soil for fast
and proper growth.
The shoots become more
fibrous under dry soil.
It comes up well in pH range
of 5.0 to 6.5
Grows best on a well-drained, medium to heavy soil with high
organic matter content.
5/26/2021 20
Dept. of VSC
21. All weeds and stubbles are removed from
the field and well-rotten farmyard manure
is incorporated in the field thoroughly.
The field is prepared well in advance with one deep ploughing and 2–3 light
ploughings followed by planking as essential to obtain a fine tilth.

36. FYM @ 20–25 t/ha, nitrogen is applied @ 150 kg, phosphorus 100 kg and
potassium 50 kg/ha, depending upon soil fertility status and cultivars.
Full dose of phosphorus and potash fertilizers along with one-third of
nitrogenous fertilizer is applied as basal application.
The remaining two-thirds dose of nitrogenous fertilizer is top-dressed in two
equal splits within 4–6 weeks of transplanting and just before the initiation of
heading.
Weekly spray of 2% urea 20 days after transplanting increases the biomass of
whole plants, marketable yield and total antioxidant activity.
broccoli is also sensitive to the deficiency of micronutrients, especially
molybdenum, in highly acidic soils and boron in alkaline soils.
Application of 1.0 kg sodium or ammonium molybdate and 10–15 kg borax is
recommended in such soils.

42. It appears that there is a possibility of saving up to 31N-8.4P-12.5K kg·ha−1
in cultivation of broccoli if 20 Mt·ha−1 of CM and Azotobacter are used in
combination with synthetic fertilizers.
The combined use of organic and inorganic materials and Azotobacter
resulted in better utilization of nutrients, which enhanced yield and soil
health as evidenced by nutrient uptake and post-harvest soil fertility status.

43. The time of sowing depends on variety, growing season and location. In north Indian
plains, the optimum time for sowing seeds in nursery beds is from mid-August to
mid-September.
In hills where snowfall is rare or mild, seed sowing is carried out during July–
August. In higher hills where snowfall is severe, nursery sowing is done in March–
April.
Mid-September at Bajaura (Kullu valley) and second fortnight of October to the first
week of November at Dhaulakuan (low hills) have been reported to be the best
period for transplanting broccoli in Himachal Pradesh.
Depending upon the prevailing weather conditions, the
seedlings become ready for transplanting after
4–6 weeks of sowing.

44. The seedlings are transplanted on flat or raised beds, preferably during afternoon
hours.
The yield and size of broccoli heads are affected by plant spacing.
The yield is more but closer spacing reduces the size of main head, less production
of spears and delays the horticultural maturity. The optimum spacing for planting
broccoli in field is 45 × 45 cm.
Spacing in the light soils can be reduced to 45 × 30 cm.
At Indian Agriculture Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, 50 × 40 cm spacing has
been found best for the variety Pusa Broccoli Kt Sel-I.
Depending upon the spacing, about 33,000 to 45,000 plants can be adjusted in a
hectare area.

45. Being a shallow-rooted crop, broccoli requires light irrigation frequently.
An even supply of moisture is needed for broccoli seedlings to be
established.
The crop grown in soil having longer water retention capacity gives
optimum yield.
Dry spells during vegetative growth and head development stage result in
small-sized heads and reduced yield.
Depending upon weather conditions and soil types, irrigation may be given
at an interval of 7–10 days to ensure optimum moisture for proper
vegetative growth and head formation
5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 45
46. Weed control: 35-40DAT.
Hand weeding or 2-3 light hoeing are recommended.
Application of weedicide is economical
Alachlore (0.5 lit/ha), pre planting sprays of Basalin @2kg
a.i/ha
Earthing up: after each topdressing of fertilizers to provide
anchorage to the plant.
Mulching: Black polythene mulch
Growth regulators:
2 sprays of GA3 @5ppm to the seedlings- increase the
yield and quality spears
Dipping the seedlings in NAA @0.1-0.2 mg/lit solution
increase the yield.
47. 45-90 days after transplanting depending upon
cultivar and environment.
Heads are harvested after attaining proper size
but before opening of buds and bud clusters are
compact.
Once the buds are opened, heads will unfit for
marketing.
Central head is harvested first, along with 15cm
long fleshy stem.
In most cases main head alone is harvested and
spears are not harvested.
When spears are harvested, these are tied
together in the shape of a single head and
marketed.
Size: 15-25cm head in diameter and 250-600g
Optimum yield is 5-15 t/ha.
Early (50-60 q/ha)
Late (100-150 q/ha)
Average (75-100 q/ha)

Cutworms:
The caterpillars are 3 to 4 cm long, gray or brown to almost black with various markings.
They hide in daytime and feed at night.
They cause damage by biting the foliage and by cutting down the young seedlings just
above the ground level.
Control:
1. Picking and destruction of the larvae at the early stage of the crop.
2. Growing of paired rows of mustard after every 25 rows of the crop.
3. Spraying of the heavily infested crop with Rogoror Endosulfan@ 2 -3 ml/l of water.
Leaf Webber:
The leaves are skeletonised by the larvae, which remain on the under surface of leaves in
webs and feed on them.
They also attack flower buds and pods.
The insect commonly sucks early grown crop.
Control:
1. Picking and destruction of the larvae at the early stage of the crop.
2. The crop should be sprayed with Cyfluthrin@ 0.5ml/1 of water.
56. 5/26/2021 Dept. of VSC 56
Mustard saw fly:
The larvae of mustard saw fly feed on
leaves and it can be controlled by
spraying Chlorpyriphos or Quinalphos@
0.05%.
Aphids:
They feed on the plants affecting the quality.
Mustard can act as a trap crop for aphids.
Neem seed kernel extract can be sprayed at 4%
or Oxydemeton methyl @ 0.02% can be sprayed
for controlling this insect.
57. Broccoli is highly fragile as the respiration rate of freshly harvested heads
or spears is extremely high.
The shelf life of broccoli heads and spears is significantly affected by
temperature.
The harvested heads or spears are required to be hydro-cooled.
At room temperature, the harvested produce can be kept for 2–3 days only,
but at 0ºC temperature and 95% relative humidity, it remains good for 10–
15 days.
Packaging in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bags or films helps in
keeping the broccoli heads more fresh and green under low temperature
conditions.
It should never be stored along with climacteric fruits, which can cause
yellowing of green buds due to the production of large quantity of ethylene.
Broccoli heads or spears are tied in bunches of about 250–500 g and
packed in waxed boxes or plastic crates.
Deterioration occurs quickly in non-wrapped heads due to yellowing,
weight loss, stem hardening and chlorophyll degradation.
