This study aimed to assess the genetic variability in vegetable pea (Pisum sativum var. hortense L.) under the Bundelkhand region. A total of 25 pea accessions were collected from different regions of Uttar Pradesh and Bundelkhand and evaluated for various traits. The estimates of the mean sum of squares due to genotypes were highly significant for all the characters showing the existence of genetic variation in the source material. For the majority of the quantitative characteristics and qualitative traits, high phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were observed. Most of the traits showed high heritability together with high genetic advance. Based on the mean performance the genotypes/variety Narendra Matar 2, VVP 1, JVP 1 and JVP 2 had the highest yield. The variety VVP 1 has good plant height, high seed and pod weight. The varieties JVP 1 and Kashi Nandini have taken fewer days to maturity and also yielded well so these varieties can be also recommended for use a parent for improvement of local material in the Bundelkhand region.

Plants are subject to a range of stressors, which can lead to structural damage and altered physiological performance. One of the environmental conditions that reduce plant growth and production is water stress. The current study aims to investigate the effects of mannitol-induced water stress on seed germination and seedling growth in sesame cultivars.Seeds of two sesame cultivars (GT-10 and JTS-8) were subjected to different water stresses induced by mannitol. Mannitol inhibited seedling germination and growth through limiting water content in a concentration-dependent manner. With an increase in mannitol content, both varieties’ seed germination and seedling growth dropped. However, under the stress of 0.5 M mannitol concentration, the seedling growth has been demonstrated to be greater in JTS-8.The results revealed that JTS-8 shows more tolerance in different mannitol concentrations than that of GT-10 due to higher osmotic adjustment ability.

At the Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP), Crop Research Farm, a field experiment was carried out in rabi 2022.The soil in the experimental plot had a sandy loam texture, a pH of 7.1 that was almost neutral, a low level of organic carbon (0.36), and poor availability of the nutrients n, p, and k (171.48 kg/ha, 15.2 kg/ha, and 232.5 kg/ha, respectively).

In the present work, optimization of quality parameters was performed for maximum recovery of turmeric oil from the dried rhizome of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) using microwave assisted extracted technology. Petroleum ether and Hexane solvents were used for extraction of essential oil at two different input parameters of microwave i.e., microwave power (200, 250, 300, 350 and 400 watt) and extraction time (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min). Resulted response were estimated by the ANOVA using central composite rotable design (CCRD) of response surface methodology (RSM) and the polynomial equation of the second order response surface were modelled using multiple regression analysis. The quality of extracted oil was evaluated based on quality parameters. Maximum yield of 4.97 % of oil was recovered with the chemical properties value of acid, iodine and saponification were 4.5%, 39.37% and 14.86 % respectively using Hexane solvent at microwave power of 300-watt and 20 minutes of extraction time. Determination coefficients (R2) were equal to 90% or higher for individual responses stated that the developed models were well fitted to the experimental results.

A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2019-20 at Instructional Farm of Agronomy, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur to examine the effect of fertility levels and liquid biofertilizers on soil chemical properties and nutrient uptake by wheat. The treatments comprised of four levels of fertility (i.e. control, 75, 100 and 125% RDF) and four levels of liquid biofertilizers (i.e. no inoculation, Azotobacter, PSB and Azotobacter + PSB). Experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replication taking wheat var Raj 4238 as test crop. The recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) was 100:60:40 kg ha-1 of N:P2O5:K2O. The results revealed that significant increase in available primary nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) in post harvest soil of wheat and also significantly increase in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur and micronutrients (Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn) uptake by wheat with increasing levels of fertility and liquid biofertilizers up to the 100% RDF and Azotobacter + PSB respectively.
2019- 2020年rabi期间,在乌代浦尔拉贾斯坦农业学院农学指导农场进行了一项田间试验,研究了肥力水平和液体生物肥料对小麦土壤化学性质和养分吸收的影响。这些处理包括四个水平的肥力(即对照、75、100和125% RDF)和四个水平的液体生物肥料(即不接种、固氮菌、PSB和固氮菌+ PSB)。以小麦品种拉吉4238为试验作物,采用因子随机区组设计,设3个重复。N:P2O5:K2O的推荐用量(RDF)为100:60:40 kg ha-1。结果表明,随着肥力和液体生物肥料水平的增加,小麦收获后土壤速效养分(氮、磷、钾)和氮、磷、钾、硫和微量元素(Cu、Zn、Fe、Mn)的吸收量均显著增加,分别达到100% RDF和固氮菌+ PSB。
