Studies of Yield and Yield Traits in Abstract The heritability estimates give information about traits which are transferred from one generation to another generation, and it has important role in selection criteria to enhance the yield potential. The purpose of current study was to estimate heritability and genetic advance of F 5 wheat lines derived from a cross of Faisalabad 2008 and S-24. Eight yield parameters were evaluated during the year 2019-20 in complete randomize design with five replicates. The results of ANOVA showed significant difference (P ≤ 0.001) in all studied traits. High broad sense heritability was observed for grain yield per spike (82.49%) followed by tillers per plant (81.77%) and spikelet per spike (76.65%). Moderate to low genetic advance was observed for all the traits except plant height (79.47%), and grain yield per spike have 73.10%. Grain yield have positive correlation with fertile tiller, 100 seed weight and grain yield per spike. The traits grain yield per spike, tillers per plant and spikelet per spike deserve more attention in future breeding programs for evolving better wheat yield.

A. triticina, a seedborne pathogen, can cause major damage to susceptible wheat varieties under wet or humid conditions. Considering the importance of leaf blight of wheat caused by Alternaria triticina, the field study was conducted using different fungicides. The different fungicides like, Mancozeb 75% WP, Propineb 70% WP, Hexaconazole 5% SC, Propiconazole 25 % EC, Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.30% SC and Hexaconazole 4% + Zineb 68% WP tested as foliar spray under field conditions the lower disease intensity (15.79 %) was recorded in foliar application of Propiconazole 25 % EC (500 ppm) followed by Hexaconazole 4 % + Zineb 68 % WP (18.44 %) at 1000 ppm. The maximum grain yield (3831 kg/ha) was also recorded in foliar spray of Propiconazole 25 % EC which was at par with Hexaconazole 4 % + Zineb 68 % WP and Hexaconazole 5 % SC.

Genetic diversity analysis in rainy landraces and identification adaptive Abstract Assessment of genetic diversity among sorghum landraces is essential for their efficient utilization in plant breeding. In the present study, 203 sorghum landrace accessions were phenotyped for two rabi growing seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Among the traits investigated, plant height was found more variable followed by dry fodder yield per plant, panicle weight per plant and grain yield per plant. The highest PCV and GCV was shown by dry fodder yield per plant (41.36 and 35.22 %), panicle weight per plant (38.49 and 32.84 %), grain yield per plant (36.30 and 27.95) and panicle length (33.06 and 29.81), respectively. The PCA revealed three important principal components correlated with grain yield per plant, panicle length and plant height that accounted for 70.30% of the total variation. The maximum inter-cluster distance was observed between cluster IV and V. Cluster VII had the highest mean value for grain and fodder yield.

The present study was carried out to examine the genetic diversity among 151 thermo-tolerant advanced breeding lines of wheat for two experimental years during Rabi 2017-18 and 2018-19. The data were recorded in both the seasons for total 23 traits i.e. 18 quantitative characters to study variability, heritability, genetic advance and genetic divergence and 5 morphological characters. ANOVA showed significant differences for all the characters except flag leaf width, in both experimental seasons and for gluten content in season Rabi 2018-19 indicating the presence of a substantial amount of genetic variability which thus revealed different genetic backgrounds of genotypes. High estimates of both GCV and PCV were observed for biological yield in both experimental years. High heritability with high genetic advance was recorded for all quantitative characters except flag leaf width and gluten content indicating the predominance of additive gene effects and hence the possibilities of effective selection for the improvement of these traits. D 2 analysis grouped these lines into 10 clusters in which cluster VII was biggest cluster with 26 lines. Further diversity analysis revealed that cluster IV and VII followed by Cluster VI and Cluster VII were most divergent from each other, and the genotypes present in them may be used as parents for further hybridization program to develop desirable heat type in wheat. Analysis of 5 morphological characters i.e. leaf type, rachis colour, leaf shape, waxiness and stay green habit, depicted that HUW-213 x NW-1076 followed by HALNA x RAJ-4037 were found above average yielders and terminal heat tolerant primarily due to their semi-erect leaf type, green rachis color, broad leaf shape, stay green habit and less days to maturity as compared to checks.

A field experiment was undertaken to extrapolate the effect of different polymer and plant protectants based seed treatment on yield and yield components of wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. HPW-155). Results interpret that different polymer based seed treatment had significant effect on tillers per plant, plant height (cm), spike length (cm), spikes per plant, spikelet per spike, seeds per spike, 1000-seed weight (g), seed yield per plot (kg), seed yield (q/ ha) except days to 50% flowering and days to 75% maturity which had shown non-significant differences. Treatments,T 6 - polymer + Vitavax 200 @ 2 g/Kg of seed and T 5 - Vitavax 200 @ 2 g/Kg seed had shown significant superiority for tillers per plant, plant height (cm), spike length (cm), spikes per plant, spikelets per spike, 1000 - seed weight, seed yield per plot (kg), and seed yield (q/ ha) over control (T 1 - control). Treatment T 6 had shown 14.7% gain in seed yield as comapred to untreated control(T 1 ).

The nature and magnitude of genetic diversity of aromatic rice accessions collected from different agro climatic zones of Assam were evaluated in the present study. Grain morphology and molecular diversity was investigated for a collection of fourteen genotypes. In molecular genetic analysis 32 random SSR markers and 1 gene- based marker (Aroma-1) were included, out of which 18 informative SSR were employed for genetic analysis on the basis of their amplification. Molecular taxonomy and genetic divergence analysis revealed considerable variation among the tested aromatic lines. Of the 18 SSR variation in 14 genotypes, the value of PIC ranged from 0.1326 (RM337) to 0.5408 (RM496). The phylogenetic relations indicate presence of diverse genetic origin of the aromatic rice collection. Aroma analysis with gene based marker (Aroma- 1) amplified a unique band in Bokul Joha which is different from rest of the genotypes indicating probable presence of alternative allelic constitution of BADH2 gene for aroma.

The effect of foliar spraying with Pseudomonas fluorescens + butter milk (0.5 %), P. fluorescens (0.5 %), neem seed kernel extract (5 %) neem oil (3 %), Copper hydroxide (0.25 %), Propiconazole (0.1 %), Carbendazim (0.1 %) + Mancozeb (0.1 %) at booting and again at 50 % flowering against major diseases of rice during Rabi season was investigated in comparison with water spray under natural condition. Among them, P. fluorescens + butter milk recorded minimum sheath rot, false smut and grain discolouration at par with P. fluorescens, Propiconazole and Carbendazim + Mancozeb and significantly higher seed yield. Six fungal species including Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Bipolaris oryzae, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium moniliforme and Sarocladium oryzae were isolated from the seed samples after harvest and six months of storage in gunny bags under ambient condition. The population of storage fungi increased slightly on contrary to pathogenic fungi with storage. Seeds contaminated with relatively low level of mycoflora invariability exhibited more than 80 per cent germination after six months of storage. The seed samples collected from either P. fluorescens + butter milk (0.5 %) or P. fluorescens (0.5 %) sprayed plants recorded minimum mycoflora and maximum germination after six months of storage.
