The magnitude of the genotypic co-efficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic co-efficientof variation (PCV) in chickpea germplasm was observed high for characters like seed yield per plant followed by number of pods per plant, 100 seed weight, plant height, number of secondary branches per plant and number of primary branches per plant. The characteristics viz., seed yield per plant showed high GCV and PCV, moderate heritability and high genetic advance as a per cent of the mean. The characters viz. number of pods per plant, 100 seed weight, harvest index, number of secondary branches per plant and plant height recorded a highly positive significant correlation with seed yield at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. This indicates the simultaneous improvement of these characters through the selection of chickpeas.

The present investigation is conducted in Marathwada region of the Maharashtra state during 2022-2023 with the objective to study “Relationship between selected profile characteristics of rural youth with their perception towards agriculture as anoccupation”. One district namely Beed was selected randomly from Marathwada region. Three talukas from Beed district and five villages from each taluka were selected randomly for the study. From each selected village, ten rural youth were selected randomly who was able to express their views on agriculture as an occupation, which comprising total sample of 150 respondents were considered for the study. An Ex-post-facto research design was followed for the study. Data was gathered using a wellstructured interview schedule created with the study’s objectives in mind. The collected data was analysed, classified and tabulated. Statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and co-efficient correlation were used to interpret findings and draw conclusions.

The present study entitled, ‘Profitability of Onion Seed Production in Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra’ is based on a sample of 90onion seed growers drawn from Shrigonda, Nagar and Parner tehsils ofAhmednagar district. Three villages from each tehsil were selected randomly and from six villages, 15 onion seed growers were selected from each village on the basis of the actual area under onion seed. All onion seed growers were categorized into three different groups (five in each group), i.e. Category I (below 0.05ha), Category II (0.05 to 0.15 ha) and Category III (0.15 ha and above). Thus, the final sample consisted of 90 onion seed growers. The primary data collected for the agriculture year 2021–22 was analyzed by using mathematical and statistical calculations. At the overall level, the per hectare cost of cultivation of onion seed worked out to be Rs. 549224.68. The cost ‘A’ was Rs. 265391.85, contributing 48.33 per cent of the cost ‘C’. In cost ‘A’, the major item of cost were bulbs, i.e. Rs. 139792.34, contributing 25.45 per cent of the cost ‘C’. The expenditure on total hired human labour, bullock labour, machine power, manure and plant protection charges was worked out to Rs. 54466.67, Rs. 1200, Rs. 24000, Rs. 5995.67 and Rs.1442.25 which accounted for 9.92, 0.22, 4.37, 1.09 and 0.26 per cent of the share in cost ‘C’, respectively. At the overall level, the per hectare gross return was found to be Rs.1448098.61 and the B:C ratio at cost ‘C’ was 2.63. It clearly indicated that onion seed cultivation is a profitable venture.

Psyllium husk (PH) exerts functional, nutritional and prebiotic properties. However, when dispersed into water it easily forms viscous gel. The PH gel is difficult to swallow due to its sliminess which also reduces its acceptability appearance wise. In the present study, effect of processing treatments involving pre-dispersal grinding, blending, pH and exposure to heat were investigated on the rheological and gel forming properties of PH in water. It was found that pre-dispersal grinding of PH was favourable for its improved dispersion and sensorial characteristics. The pH of dispersion made no difference on the gel properties and with adequate blending treatment for 5 min, an extended heat treatment can also be avoided.

A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of 2013 and 2014 at KVK, South Tripura to evolve effective weed management practices for upland direct seeded rice. The experiment consisted of 12 treatments laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The predominant weed flora observed in the experimental field were Amaranthus viridis, Oldenlendia corymbosa, Spilanthes acmella, Ludwigia parviflora, Cleome rutidosperma, Malvestrum coromondalianeum among the broad leaf weed, Digitaria sanguinalis among grasses and Cyperus iria among sedges. The result of the experiment reveals that weed free treatment recorded lowest weed dry weight for all types of weed and higher yield and yield attributing parameters of upland rice followed by pendimethalin + one hand weeding. All other treatments were significantly superior to weedy check in all respect.

Due to its high concentration of macro and micronutrients like protein, dietary fibre, essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins, millets are small-seeded crops that have been widely embraced globally. The United Nations has designated 2023 as the International Year of Millets because to their climatically resilient nature and potential contribution to food and health security. Millets being a rich source of all essential nutrients among cereals it can be a great alternative to other cereals that are allergic and are difficult to cultivate. This review emphasis the millets, importance of millets, processing and its value addition into broad sectors of food industries such as baking, flaking, extrusion and other sectors. Therefore, this review will be helpful for the researchers as well as food industries for considering millets as an ingredient in novel food product development.

The present study was conducted with specific objective to study the knowledge level of pomegranate growers about recommended pomegranate production technologies in Vijayapura and Bagalkot districts of Karnataka, respectively. Total of 8 villages were selected for the study and 15 pomegranate growing farmers from each village were randomly selected to constitute a total sample of 120 farmers. It was noticed that almost two fifth (39.17 %) of the pomegranate farmers belonged to medium knowledge level category, 32.50 per cent of them belonged to low knowledge level category and 28.33 per cent of them belonged to high knowledge level category, respectively. Cent per cent of the pomegranate growers had knowledge about the varieties, planting material, spacing, time of planting, frequency of pruning and mode of irrigation. Large majority of them had knowledge about chemicals to control pests (90.00%), size of the pit (85.00 %), chemicals to control diseases (80.00 %) and diseases of pomegranate (78.33 %). Majority of them had knowledge about the type of soil (71.67%), frequency of fertilizer application (66.67%) and pests of pomegranate (60.00 %). More than half (59.17 %) of them had knowledge about the frequency of irrigation and Bahar treatment (55.83 %). About 45.83 per cent of them had knowledge about the pit filling process with FYM, 43.33 per cent of them had knowledge about the growth regulators used, 41.67 per cent of them had knowledge about the proportion of NPK application per tree and 39.17 per cent of them had knowledge about the rest period given during Bahar treatment. Equal percentage of them (33.33 %) had knowledge about types of Bahar treatments and average yield per tree. About 30.83 per cent of knew about the quantity of FYM application and 23.33 per cent knew about intercropping in pomegranate and 19.16 per cent of them knew about the weedicides.
