The structural transformation brings changes to new technology in the form of high-yielding seeds, fertilizers and pesticides and the adoption of modern and improved farm practices since mid-1960s. However, after the mid-1980s, the growth rate of the agricultural economy started decelerating. Results revealed that during overall period, the growth rate in area, production and yield was negative for field crops except for rice and wheat. For fruits and vegetables, the growth rate in area, production and yield were positive for almost all the periods, the area effect was higher for food grains and the yield effect was higher in fruits. The state was found to be less diversified.

Pulses provide the required protein supplement to the vegetarian people. Pulse is the most important food crop in India and from all integral part of the cropping system farmers all over the country. Greengram or mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is the major pulse crop of the state Odisha covering total area of 8.36 lakh ha with average productivity 434 kg per ha, which is about 40 percent of the total pulse area of the state. Present study was conducted for zero-till drill and seed- cum- fertilizer drill for sowing on the yield of greengram in the year 2016-17 in village Niladeipur and Achyutpur village of Jajpur district in Rabi season. It is found that zero-till drill is having highest benefit-cost ratio of 2.07 as compared to 1.90 with seed drill and 1.77 with broadcasting. Use of zero till drill for sowing of green gram was economical as the costs of fuel, labour and inputs are saved. It can save around Rs. 1750/- per hectare required for field preparation.

A field experiment to standardize the growing media for maximizing the seed germination of ber (Ziziphusmauritiana var. rotundifolia) was conducted in the nursery of Experimental Orchard, Department of Horticulture, CCS HAU Hisar. The media for the study were garden soil and sand with the different proportion of vermicompost, FYM and cocopeat constituting 16 treatments. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design. The results revealed that growing Media T7: Garden soil + FYM + VC + CP (3:1:1:1) reduced the number of days for germination (19.33 days) and increased germination percentage (74.60%). The same media also resulted into highest N content in leaves (1.47 %) over all other growing media, in ber seedlings. The data clearly indicated that significantly higher seedling height was observed under T7 - Garden soil + FYM + VC + CP (3:1:1:1) i.e. 22.73, 47.90, 71.57 and 106.43 cm at 60, 90, 120 and 150 DAS, respectively. Therefore, growing Media T7 - Garden soil + FYM + VC + CP (3:1:1:1) may be recommended for commercial cultivation.

During Kharif 2021, an investigation was carried out in Prathvipura village, block Babina, district Jhansi, and the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. A total of ten demonstrations on vegetables showed their production potential: bhindi, sponge gourd, brinjal, amaranth, and cowpea bean variety A-5, Pusa Sneha, Pusa Hara, Pusa Kiran, and Pusa Sukomal. Increased yields of 8.33, 9.38, 11.54, and 9.38 percent were recorded from bhindi, sponge gourd, brinjal, and cowpea crops, respectively, where the extension gap was 1500, 1500, 3000, and 1500 kg/ha. The technology gap was observed at 1000, 0, 4000, -50, and 5 kg/ha for cowpea, bhindi, brinjal, sponge gourd, and amaranth, where the technology index was 5.88, 0, 13.33, -0.31, and 3.85 percent, respectively. The highest net returns were observed for 95,000, 102,500, 120,500, 122,500, and 145,500 Rs from sponge gourd, amaranth, cowpea, bhindi, and brinjal, with cost-benefit ratios of 1.46, 2.73, 2.66, 2.13, and 2.32 after each rupee investment, followed by a local check.

Drying and pickling are the most ancient and effective methods to preserve food which are used so far. In particular, drying cucumber slices using a dehydrator has been shown to significantly reduce their moisture content from 89% w.b. to 4.5% w.b. and lower their water activity from 0.98 to 0.17, making them safe from microbial activity. Moreover, storing these dried cucumber slices for up to 9 days did not result in any significant increase in water activity. The cucumber slices also pickled using different vinegar solutions. It has been observed that with increase in storage period pH of the solution as well as pickles decreases. Vinegar concentration of 480 and 600 ml have shown similar trend. This study showed that drying and pickling can be used to preserve cucumber slices for longer period

The field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years during 2018-19 and 2019-20 at three different locations of the farmers’ field in Chandel district of NEH Region, Manipur to compare the different maize-based cropping systems. From the two years data, it was observed that the highest maize yield was recorded from the sole crop 50.65 q/ha and 51.20 q/ha during 2018-19 and 2019-20 respectively, due to its higher plant population. The equivalent yield of maize 52.16 q/ha and 54.90 q/ha was recorded to be higher in maize + groundnut intercropping system during 2018-19 and 2019-20 as compared to maize + rice bean intercropping system. Though, intercropping with other crops reduced the grain yield of maize but intercropping increased the maize equivalent yield than sole maize. The gross return was highest in maize + groundnut intercropping system with Rs. 152510/ha and Rs.160700/ha with the net profit of Rs. 104141/ha and Rs. 110550/ha during 2018-19 and 2019-20 respectively. The benefit cost ratio was also found to be highest in maize + groundnut intercropping system during the years of experimentations. From this result, it can be concluded that maize + groundnut intercropping will be more beneficial and a viable practiced to achieve the goal of higher sustainable productivity and profitability in attaining doubling of farmers’ income.

Indian Agriculture is undergoing a gradual shift from dependence on human power and animal power to mechanical power. Mechanical power is largely consumed in big land holdings asunder their economic condition, the small and marginal farmers are unable to own farm machinery on their own. Andhra Pradesh State is typically an agrarian State with 80.96 lakh ha of the net sown area and has about 65.39 lakh ha operational holdings and 34.35 lakh ha are small and marginal holdings. Some of the initial problems in farm mechanization had been the small and scattered size of farm holdings, financially challenged farmers, lack of awareness among the marginal farmers, and the issue of dry land agriculture. In Andhra Pradesh at present, the Farm power availability is below 2.00Kw/ha. Which is low and there is a lot of scope for improvement. The mechanization index very low SC and ST category because of that is staying away from the municipal areas, small land holding, less annual income, and repair and Maintenance Lake of non-availability of workshops in rural areas.

More than a thousand varieties of mango (Mangifera indica L.) are grown in India. Their quality attributes not only differed altogether but also depends on their maturity and storage after harvest. An experiment on four mango varieties harvested at pre-, optimum, and over-maturity stages from different orchards was conducted in this study. The effect of varieties and harvest stage, and their interactions on external diameters, arithmetic and geometric mean diameters, sphericity, and aspect ratio was analyzed. Similarly, the change in peel color values, specific gravity, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and total carotenoids with respect to varieties, harvest stage, and storage periods and their interactions were analyzed statistically. Dimensions, size, weight, volume, aspect ratio, and sphericity varied significantly among the cultivars and were found to be increased significantly from the pre-to-over maturity stage. Interaction between the harvest stage and cultivars also had a significant (p<0.05) effect on the fruit’s breadth, thickness, size, weight, volume, aspect ratio, and sphericity (except on length). Similarly, specific gravity and peel color values and biochemical attributes were also found to be changed significantly among the cultivars, maturity stages, and storage periods. The effect of their interactions on peel color values and bio-chemical properties was also significant. However, there is an insignificant effect of interactions on the specific gravity of mangoes. Results concluded that most of the physical and biochemical parameters of mangoes were variable and dependent on cultivar type, maturity stage and storage period, and on their interactions. This study, therefore, can be fruitful during the designing of processing equipment and can be helpful in the post-harvest management of mangoes

The effect of varieties and harvest stage, and their interactions on external diameters, arithmetic and geometric mean diameters, sphericity, and aspect ratio was analyzed. Similarly, the change in peel color values, specific gravity, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and total carotenoids with respect to varieties, harvest stage, and storage periods and their interactions were analyzed statistically. Dimensions, size, weight, volume, aspect ratio, and sphericity varied significantly among the cultivars and were found to be increased significantly from the pre-to-over maturity stage. Interaction between the harvest stage and cultivars also had a significant (p<0.05) effect on the fruit’s breadth, thickness, size, weight, volume, aspect ratio, and sphericity (except on length). Similarly, specific gravity and peel color values and biochemical attributes were also found to be changed significantly among the cultivars, maturity stages, and storage periods. The effect of their interactions on peel color values and bio-chemical properties was also significant. However, there is an insignificant effect of interactions on the specific gravity of mangoes. Results concluded that most of the physical and biochemical parameters of mangoes were variable and dependent on cultivar type, maturity stage and storage period, and on their interactions. This study, therefore, can be fruitful during the designing of processing equipment and can be helpful in the post-harvest management of mangoes","PeriodicalId":14972,"journal":{"name":"Journal of AgriSearch","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87923574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to devise the method of treatment of corneal ulcer in dogs which is very common in some breeds of dog. Earlier it was treated with some topical antibiotics but it was not successful as desired. In this study the cauterization of ulcer was done with silver nitrate, which was found to be very cheap and successful both in terms of financial and recovery parameters
