The current study was conducted at Seed Research and Technology Center (SRTC), Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, Hyderabad, Telangana state, India to understand traits association with yield components and their direct and indirect influence on seed/grain yield during the kharif season (July to November) 2018–19. Eighteen elite rice genotypes were evaluated for eight yield attributing traits in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Correlation study among the genotypes reveals that, genotypic correlation coefficients were slightly higher than phenotypic correlation coefficients for most traits showed the influence of genetic composition on the lines’ expression. Highly significant and positive strong correlation observed for days to maturity and days to 50% flowering (0.8955 and 0.8230), while moderate positive correlation observed for productive tillers plant-1 and panicle length (0.5744 and 0.3571) at genotypic and phenotypic level respectively. However, Seed yield plant-1 depicted a strong and positive correlation with thousand seed weight (0.4048 and 0.3895), while very low with number of productive tillers plant-1 (0.0579 and 0.0524) at the phenotypic and genotypic levels. The results of path analysis revealed that the thousand seed weight has a high and significant genotypic (0.3286*) and phenotypic path coefficient value (0.3198) indicates high positive direct effects on the seed yield and days to 50% flowering (0.2252) shows strong and positive direct impact on the seed yield. These traits could be used as selection criteria to improve the grain yield and grain quality in the rice breeding programs.

The experiment was carried out in Department of Plant Pathology, Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India during cropping season of May to August in year 2018–2019 to study the efficacy of fungal and bacterial bio-control agents in managing the Fusarium wilt of cucumber. Different fungal and bacterial bio-control agents were thus tested under laboratory conditions for their efficacy in inhibiting the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum by using dual culture technique and streak plate method, respectively. Among fungal bio-control agents, Trichoderma harzianum was found most effective with 61.08% inhibition of mycelial growth of F. oxysporum followed by Trichoderma virens with 57.51% mycelial inhibition whereas, among bacterial bio-control agents, maximum mycelial inhibition of 45.69% was observed in Pseudomonas fluorescens. During the cropping season, seed, and soil treatment with effective fungal and bacterial bioagents was carried out under field conditions. Seed treatment and soil application of Trichoderma harzianum was found effective with disease control of 48.25% followed by Trichoderma virens which is proved to be efficacious with 42% disease control against Fusarium wilt of cucumber.

A field experiment was conducted on yield and economics of rice during 2017 at Agriculture Research Institute, Rajensranagar. The study was conducted with 10 treatments and laid out in randomized block design with 3 replications. The soil of the experimental site was clay loam in texture, slightly alkaline in reaction, non-saline, low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, high in available phosphorous and potassium.Among the different time and dose of application of nitrogen, the highest panicle m-2 (309.3), panicle length (23.9 cm), number of filled grains panicle-1 (103.2),number of total grains panicle-1 (118.1), test weight (23.9 g), grain yield (4514 kg ha-1), straw yield (5470 kg ha-1) and B: C ratio (1.99)were recorded highest with application of 160 kg N ha-1 25% each at sowing, 20 DAS, 40 DAS and 60 DAS compared to the other treatments. However, growth recorded with 160 kg in 4 equal splits was found to be on par with the growth in the treatments having 160 and 140 kg N ha-1applied at various splits and with application of 120 kg N ha-1 in 4 equal splits at sowing, 20 DAS, 40 DAS and 60 DAS. The lowest observation wasfoundin the farmer’s practice with the application of nitrogen at 120 kg ha-1 N in 3 splits with 12% at sowing, 44% at 40 DAS and 44% at 60 DAS.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the existing agroforestry systems and their economic returns in Tehsil Bangana of Una district of Himachal Pradesh, India during the year 2019−2020. A total number of 324 farmers were selected randomly from three categories viz., marginal, small, and medium based on landholding capacity for survey and data collection. The data was collected through a pre-tested schedule for personal interviews with the head of each household and field sampling. The study revealed that five agroforestry system types prevalent among different categories of farmers namely: AS, AH, AHS, HP, and SP. The bioeconomic of the different systems was analyzed by calculating the cost of cultivation, gross returns per hectare, net returns per hectare, and benefit: cost ratio. The higher net returns of agroforestry systems among different farmers categories were observed in AS, small farmer’s category (` 1,51761), and lowest were observed in SP, marginal farmer’s category (` 5,999). Benefit: cost ratio of agroforestry systems among different farmers category was observed maximum in AH, medium farmer’s category (1.89) whereas, minimum benefit: cost ratio was recorded in SP, marginal farmer’s category (1.72). Irrespective of farmers category, maximum mean benefit: cost ratio (1.88) was recorded in AHS and minimum (1.72) was observed in the SP system. Hence the study represents the clear picture of economic analysis of existing agroforestry systems which will help the local peoples to fulfill their basic needs and the researchers to gain the benefit from the agroforestry.

This research was conducted at Borlaug Institute of South Asia (BISA) Pusa, Bihar to assess the losses in harvesting and threshing by manual methods for wheat and maize. 5 farmers from 15 identified villages were selected from Samastipur district of Bihar for assessing harvesting and threshing losses of wheat and maize crop. A total of 75 farmers were selected for this study from Kabargama Phulhara, Ajana, Gopalpur, Maniarpur, Rampura, Ladaura, Birsingpur, Kalyanpur, Akbarpur, Pratapur, Basudevpur, Dhruvgama, Tera, Mirjapur, Samastipur. A pre-procedure for loss assessment was used to record the details of the harvesting and threshing loss practices. It was observed that the total harvesting loss in all 15 villages were 1.65% and threshing loss 2.30% and maize 1.20%, respectively. Wheat Threshing Loss was found highest at 3.35% in Mirjapur village and the lowest at 1.18% in Rampura. Maize threshing loss was found to be highest in Pratapur village by 1.66% and lowest at 0.85% in Ladaura. The threshing loss was found less in Maize as compared to the harvesting and threshing loss of wheat and Maize due to the low loss, it is because of the long-stalked cubs of corn, in which there is no settling loss. The increase in losses was probably due to delays in harvesting due to unseasonal rains and storms, when the crop was ready for harvesting in some cases and less use of technologies at the agricultural level. There is a need for training farmers while harvesting and threshing of wheat and maize to reduce the loss of grain.

The experiment was conducted during October-December,2020 at Forage Production Unit, College of Veterinary Science, Korutla, Jagityala, Telangana State, India to evaluate the yield of fodder under different manure or fertilizer applications and along with nutritional composition in fresh and ensiled form. African tall maize (ATM) was sown under four treatments and five replications in randomise block design (RBD) (T1=control or no fertiliser application, T2: Recommended dose of fertilisers application @ 120:60:40 NPK kg ha-1, T3: Farm Yard Manure (FYM) applied @ 10 t ha-1 and T4: Sheep manure applied @ 3 t ha-1. The results showed a green fodder yield of 36.5 t ha-1 in T2 followed by T3 (23.8 t ha-1), T4 (22.1 t ha-1) and T1 (20.3 t ha-1) respectively. There was significant difference for plant height and number of leaves at harvest, green fodder yield and forage dry matter yield among the treatments. Maize as a forage should be cultivated with recommended fertilisers to gain the highest fresh forage yields and CP yields. There were no significant differences in Ether extract (EE), crude fibre (CF) and phosphorous content of fresh forage and silage while significant difference was seen in crude protein (CP), total ash (TA), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and calcium content. The nutrient composition of silage was higher than the values of fresh forage. The study showed that the nutrient composition of silage was preferable than the fresh fodder maize harvested at 85 DAS with recommended fertilizers.
该试验于2020年10月至12月在印度特伦甘纳邦贾吉特拉邦科鲁特拉兽医学院饲料生产单位进行,以评估不同粪肥或化肥施用以及新鲜和青贮形式的营养成分下的饲料产量。采用随机区组设计(RBD),分4个处理、5个重复播种非洲高玉米(ATM) (T1=对照或不施肥,T2:施肥推荐剂量@ 120:60:40 NPK kg hm -1, T3:施用10 t hm -1农场厩肥,T4:施用3 t hm -1羊粪。结果表明:T2期青饲料产量为36.5 t ha-1,其次为T3期(23.8 t ha-1)、T4期(22.1 t ha-1)和T1期(20.3 t ha-1)。各处理间收获期株高、叶数、青饲料产量和饲料干物质产量差异显著。作为饲料的玉米应施用推荐的肥料,以获得最高的新鲜饲料产量和CP产量。鲜草料和青贮料粗脂肪(EE)、粗纤维(CF)和磷含量差异不显著,粗蛋白质(CP)、总灰分(TA)、中性洗涤纤维(NDF)、酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)和钙含量差异显著。青贮饲料的营养成分高于新鲜饲料。研究表明,青贮玉米的营养成分优于采用推荐肥料的85 DAS收获的新鲜饲料玉米。

The experiment was conducted during 2020−21 and 2021−22 at Green house complex, AICRP on Plastic Engineering in Agriculture Structure and Environment Management, Departmental of Renewable Energy Engineering, College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Junagadh, Gujarat, India to study the economics of vegetable seedling nursery for high valued broccoli crop for profitable entrepreneurship. Timely sowing and optimizing plant population significantly increase vegetable production. The availability and required seedling in time play a major role in vegetable cultivation. The seedlings of broccoli are transplanted in the rabi season, therefore, farmers have to prepare seedlings in the late monsoon. The germination percentage and survival of seedlings are reduced due to extreme weather condition like frosting, freezing, heat wave, high temperature and excess soil moisture in the open field. Therefore, present work was carried out on the economic feasibility of seedling raising of broccoli in a natural ventilated net-cum-poly house. The seeds of broccoli of Namdhari seeds of F1 were sown in a plug tray in the month of September of the year 2020 and 2021. Plug trays were filled with the mixture of cocopeat and vermicompost in an equal proportion of 1:1 (V/V). The germination was recorded at 94% and each seedling of broccoli was sold for ` 1.60. The Gross Return (GR), Net Return (NR), and benefit-cost ratio of the seedling raising of broccoli were recorded as Rs. 556.80 m-2, Rs. 262.69 m-2 and 1.89, respectively.
