Field screening of eleven most popular jute varieties belonging to Corchorus olitorius species was done against the major pests in the farm of Jute Research Programm, Itahari, Sunsari, Nepal during 2017 and 2018. Different species of pests belonging to insects, mites and nematodes were found feeding on jute. Among them, jute Semilooper (Anomis sabulifera Guen.), Bihar hairy caterpillar (Spilarctia obliqua Wlk.), yellow mite (Polyphagotarson emuslatus Banks), are causing economic damage to the jute crop. Eleven jute varieties were selected to conduct varietal preference and tested against major pest of jute in field condition. Among the eleven varieties JRO-524 was found to be moderately resistant against the Semilooper (A. sabulifera) and Bihar hairy caterpillar (S. oblique) but least susceptible to yellow mites. Likewise, the variety KEN-DS-058, KEN-DS-066, BJRI-1965 and BJRI-1968 showed highly susceptible to major pest Semilooper (A. sabulifera), Bihar hairy caterpillar (S. oblique) and yellow mites. The variety BRD-SRB-061, YA-41, O-4, KEN-BL-130, Itahari-2 showed moderate resistance to Semilooper (A. sabulifera), Bihar hairy caterpillar (S. oblique) but moderately susceptible to yellow mites. Further, the fibre production capacity of the varieties under different pest’s pressure was found relatively higher in variety JRO-524 followed by YA-41, BRD-SRB-061, KEN-BL-130 and O-4 respectively. The relatively higher yield recorded under varying pest levels over two consecutive seasons is an indicative of greater field tolerance of olitorius jute varieties.

An experiment was conducted for 2 years (2018 and 2019) at Oilseed Research Farm, Kalyanpur, C. S. A. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India to evaluate the effect of nutrient management practices on growth and yield of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br. Emend. Stuntz.). Highest yield was observed in 5t FYM/ha application over control. Each unit increase in N level led to significant increase in growth, yield attributing characters and yield of pearlmillet. The maximum grain yield (24.2q/ha) was recorded with highest N level. Combined inoculation of Azospirillum + PSB increased the growth, yield attributes and yields significantly. The monetary returns were found in similar trends. Application of organic manure and bio-fertilizers resulted in desirable post-harvest soil status with more organic carbon (OC), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potash (K).

Experiment was conducted to study the effect of seven different planting dates from the month of August to November using four different varieties of Gladiolus viz., Chandni, Big Time Supreme, White Prosperity and Snow Princess, for vegetative and floral parameters. In the vegetative parameters studied variety White Prosperity recorded the highest plant height (128.84 cm), highest number of leaves (9.03) and number of tillers (1.47) during September planting date. Whereas lowest plant height (87.64 cm) was recorded in the variety Chandni during September planting only. The vegetative parameters studied were also dependent on genotype and also interaction between variety and environment. November planting time showed good number of florets (16.06) and also floret diameter (9.42 cm) which was followed by September and October planting dates. Variety White Prosperity produced more number of florets per spike (22.72) in November and floret diameter (11.85 cm) in October planting. For floret parameters there was no significant difference on effect of date of planting and this was mainly due to genotypic characteristic of individual varieties studied. Better spike parameter attributed to the prevalence of favorable environment conditions during October planting time. Among the varieties studied White Prosperity showed highest spike length (105.62 cm) at first floret opening and 107.39 cm during last floret opening. The highest rachis length was also recorded by variety White Prosperity (54.00 cm) at first floret opening and 57.41 cm at last floret opening. October planting was found superior for Spike and rachis length in four different varieties studied.

The quality parameters of irrigation water in some minor lift irrigation schemes on Bhor nallah, Chatha farm at Gidergalion were evaluated and their impacts on soil characteristics in the fringe areas of Ranvir canal and non command were studied. Irrigation water samples at monthly intervals were collected and analyzed for pH, Electrical conductivity (EC), Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Magnesium Hazards (MH) and Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) by following standard methods. The soil samples from the concern command and adjoining areas (non command) were also collected and analyzed for important physico chemical properties and available nutrients as per standard procedures. Results revealed that majority of water samples collected from minor lift irrigation schemes on Bhor and Balal nallahs containing municipal/industrial waste was under high salinity-low SAR category, whereas water samples of Ranbir Canal at Gidergalian falls under medium salinity-low SAR. The soil characteristics viz. pH, EC, OC and available N, P and K were higher in command soils of Bhor and Chatha as compared to non command soils of Gidergalian and Dharap.

Field experiments were conducted to Influence of different levels of nitrogen and Azospirillum inoculation on direct-seeded rice in a Vertisol, during kharif season of 2015 at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, JNKVV, Jabalpur. The experiment was laid out under randomized block design (RBD) with 3 replications and 8 treatments namely (unfertilized+uninoculated (UFUI), recommended dose of nitrogen 50%+uninoculated (RDN50%+UI), RDN75%+UI, RDN100%+UI, UF+Azospirillum (UF+Azosp.,), RDN50%+Azosp., RDN75%+Azosp and RDN100%+Azosp.,). It was observed that significant improvement was noticed in yield attributes and soil properties. The response from the treatment of RDN100% +Azosp., was found statistically best to increase available nitrogen (N) content in soil at 45 DAS and at harvest of the crop by 29% and 27%, respectively and N content in the plant, grain and straw by 46%, 50% and 55%, respectively over the control of UFUI. Similarly, trend was significantly enhanced total N uptake by crop with 129% over the control of UFUI. While, same treatment combination increasing azospiral population in rhizospheric soil at 45 DAS, 65 DAS and at harvest by 2.28, 2.07 and 2.05 log folds, respectively over the control of UFUI and enhanced yield attributes and yields of grain and straw of rice with 113 and 58%, respectively over the control of UFUI. While the treatment RDN100%+Azosp., exhibited numerically higher values but was statistically at par to RDN75%+Azosp.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2013 to study response of clusterbean varieties to fertility levels and agro-chemicals at SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner. The experiment consisted of two varieties (RGC-1038 and RGC-1066), three treatments of fertility levels (control, 50% RDF and 100% RDF) and three treatments of agro-chemicals (control, thiourea 500 ppm twice at vegetative and pre flowering stage and thiourea 100 ppm twice at vegetative and pre flowering stage) thereby making eighteen treatment combinations tested in randomized block design with three replications. The results indicated that RGC 1066 variety recorded significantly higher plant height 60 DAS and at harvest and dry matter per meter row length at 30 DAS, 60 DAS and at harvest, number of pods/plant and seeds/pod, test weight, seed yield, stover yield and biological yield as compared to variety of RGC-1038. The result further indicated that application of fertilized 100% RDF significantly gave higher plant height at 60 DAS and at harvest similarly, dry matter per meter row length at 30 DAS, 60 DAS and at harvest, number of pods/plant and seeds/pod, test weight, seed yield, stover yield and biological yield recorded higher over control and fertilized with 50% RDF. Likewise, application of agro-chemical @ thiourea (500 ppm) significantly increased the plant height at 60 DAS and at harvest and dry matter per meter row length at 30 DAS, 60 DAS and at harvest, number of pods/plant and seeds/pod, test weight, seed yield, stover yield and biological yield and remained at par with the application of agro-chemical @ TGA (100 ppm) over control. However, plant height at 30 DAS remained materially unchanged under different varieties, fertility levels and agro-chemicals.

The present investigation entitled “Mass Production of entomopathogenic fungai Beauveria bassiana (Metsch.) on liquid and solid media” was carried out at Bio Control Laboratory, Department of Entomology, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut during 2018-19. In all there were eight treatments including control replicated thrice in a randomized block design. The results obtained in the study are summarized. The effect of different substrates for the mass production of Beauveria bassiana spore/ml was significantly higher recorded. Data recorded on 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 after the day after inoculation of various treatments in the, T10 Savoured dextrose broth (SDB), was the best treatment by bringing down the B. Bassiana production up to (49.48) spore/ml in liquid medium during the 2018-19 years. The other treatments in order of spore producing was with T11 Potato dextrose broth (PDB) (38.52), in liquid medium and solid medium in the treatment and T8 Cowpea Vigna unguiculata + Molasses + 1% YE + 1.0 g Dextrose (28.73), followed by with T7 Black gram Vigna mungo + Molasses + 1% YE + 1.0 g Dextrose (27.52 spore/ml, T5 Cowpea Vigna unguiculata + Molasses + 1% YE (17.53 spore/ml), T4 Black gram Vigna mungo + Molasses + 1% YE (14.87 spore/ml), T2 Cowpea Vigna unguiculata + Molasses (10.50 spore/ml), T1 Black gram Vigna mungo + Molasses (8.35 spore/ml), T9 Gram Cicer aeritinum + Molasses + 1% YE + 1.0 g Dextrose (3.92 spore/ml), T6 Gram Cicer aeritinum + Molasses + 1% YE (2.85 spore/ml) and T3 Gram Cicer aeritinum + Molasses respectively.
