Soil is one of the most important vital natural resource, defends the life supporting system of a country and socio-economic development of its people. More than ever before, a renewed attention is being given to soil due to rapid declining land area for agriculture, declining soil fertility and increasing soil degradation, wrong land policies and imbalance use of inputs (Kanwar, 2004). All the above factors call for a paradigm shift in research away from maximum crop production to the sustainability of crop production system without degradation of soil health and environmental quality. Soils differ greatly in their morphological, physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Since these characteristics affect the response of soil to management practices it is necessary to have information about these characteristics of each category of soil. Soil fertility is one of the important factors controlling yields of the crops. Within a soil, nutrient variability exists depending upon the hydrological properties of the soil and cropping system. In the present study 366 soil samples were collected from 21 gram panchayats and were analyzed. The soil samples were collected from rice-wheat cropping sequence. Analysis of soil samples revealed that 82 per cent samples were medium in organic matter content, 100 per cent soil samples were deficient in available nitrogen, while 92 per cent P and 100 per cent K samples were in medium range respectively. Among the micronutrients tested copper and iron were in sufficient range while manganese and zinc were deficient in soil.

Uttar Pradesh is the largest contributor to the national milk production contributing around 18 % of total milk production in the country. It has got the second highest cattle number and highest number of buffalo in the country. Bulandshahr district is known as “Milk Belt” of Uttar Pradesh. The production of district milk has increased to 233.00 lakh ton in 2013 as against 189.00 lakh ton in 2007-2008. A survey was conducted in Bulandshahr district of western U.P. during 2014 - 2016 to find out the constraints faced by dairy farmer in adoption of improved milch animal husbandry practices. Total 120 animal keepers, Blocks namely Bulandshahr, Gulaoti, Lakhaoti and Sikandrabad were selected through random sampling technique. All animals selected were of same age group of 5 to 6 years. 50-60 gram of mineral mixture per day was given to each cow for 120 days. Among different health parameters relating to milk fever problem of animals in village Ginora Sheak, the effect of mineral mixture was of high significance (83% decrease) andm milk increased at the lower rate (5%) per animal in village Jainpur. From the study it can be concluded that mineral deficiency is one of the major cause behind the different problems faced by cows with respect to health and physical parameters followed by decreased milk production, fertility and repeated breeding. In the study it was found the all the assessed parameters concluded significant results. Thus mineral mixture was found to be very effective in improving different health aspects of cow.

The Oleiferous Brassica species, commonly known as rapeseed-mustard, are one of the economically important agricultural commodities. Rapeseed-mustard comprising eight different species viz., Indian mustard, toria, yellow sarson, brown sarson, gobhi sarson, karan rai, black mustard and taramira, are being cultivated in 53 countries spreading all over the globe . The oil and protein content varies from 37 to 49% and 22-28%, respectively. The rapeseed-mustard, which contributes nearly 80% of the total rabi oilseed production, is a vital component in edible oil sector. The rapeseed- mustard crops are diverse in their agro-climatic requirements and crop management practices. The production constraints facing each of the crops are also diverse in nature. The objective of raising domestic availability of edible oil can be realized only by increasing the productivity of these oilseed crops. Enhancing the production and productivity of the crop assumes significance; not only from the farmers’ viewpoint but also for the edible oil industry and other vertically and horizontally linked enterprises.

Rootstocks have become a major component is present day viticulture. Till date, there are several rootstocks evolved of which some have become commercial in many advanced countries. Different types of grafting and budding methods have been tried in grapes with varying success rates. Hence, to standardize the same for Pusa Urvashi, different rootstocks (Pusa Navrang, Dogridge A, SO4 and H-144) involving different grafting methods (wedge, side and bench grafting) were tried. The grafting factor like months (February, March and August), grafting height (15, 30 and 45 cm.) and growing condition was glasshouse. The highest success of graft take was registered in wedge (87.0%) followed by side (62.5%) in all the three months while in bench grafting (48%) in February month. The graft take was maximum at the height of 15 cm, while the minimum was noted at 45 cm. Of the three grafting months, February was found best with respect to percentage graft success and survival.
砧木已成为当今葡萄栽培的重要组成部分。到目前为止,有几种砧木已经发展起来,其中一些已经在许多发达国家商业化。不同类型的嫁接和出芽方法已经在葡萄上进行了试验,成功率各不相同。因此,为了对Pusa Urvashi进行标准化,对不同砧木(Pusa Navrang, Dogridge A, SO4和H-144)进行了不同嫁接方法(楔接,侧接和台式嫁接)的试验。嫁接月份(2月、3月和8月)、嫁接高度(15、30和45 cm)和生长条件等因素均在温室进行。3个月嫁接成功率最高的是楔形嫁接(87.0%),其次是侧面嫁接(62.5%),2月份的嫁接成功率为48%。嫁接量在15 cm处最大,在45 cm处最小。在三个嫁接月份中,2月份嫁接成功率和成活率最高。

The study on the impact of insecticide nocturnal insects used to control desert locust was conducted at Shelshela, sub-region Shieb from November 2015 to February 2016. Its aim was to assess the impact of Desert Locust control insecticides spray on non-target arthropods. The experiment was carried out in RCBD using three treatments of fenitrothion 96% ULV, chlorpyrifos 45% ULV and control with three replications. It was replicated three times. Each plot had a size of 1 ha with a buffer zone among plots and blocks were 100 m. Data were recorded two times at pre-sprays and five times at post-sprays. During study period 4 insect families were observed and data were analyzed. These were Calliphoridae, Elateridae, Scarabidae, and Pselaphidae. In pre-spray, data did not show significant difference among treatments used. After 48 hrs of post-spray result showed significant difference among treatments. Both insecticides treated plots showed significantly lower population count than control plot. Between the treatments used fenitrothion treated plots generally showed more reduction in population count than chlorpyrifos. From the study it is observed that Elateridae can be used as bio-indicator during insecticide control of desert locust in the study areas.

Viability test of propagules revealed that the germination percentage of propagules decreased with the increase in depth of soil and length of storage. Also the propagules were more viable under laboratory condition than field condition where temperature was not controlled.
