Dry root rot of mungbean incited by Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi.) Goid is the prime importance in reducing crop yield. Dry root rot became a major obstacle to the growers of mungbean which can lead to significant loss in production by reducing plant populations at both seedling and adult stages. Due to the above reason a roving survey was conducted during Rabi 2022-23 in a major mungbean growing areas of Telangana State to record the occurrence and distribution of the disease. The highest disease incidence of 31.7% was recorded in Ichoda village of Adilabad district and least disease incidence of 5.3% was recorded in Pallipadu village of Khammam district of Telangana State. Maximum mean dry root rot incidence was observed in Mahabubabad district (18.9%) followed by Warangal district (18.1%). It was observed that the disease was more prevalent in sandy loam soils followed by black soils and minimum in clay soils, and the areas where the local and private varieties are being used by farmers.

The influence of different foliar nutrition (Urea, DAP, NPK-19:19:19, NPK- 10:26:26, ZnSO4.7H2O, Mo and Borax) along with recommended dose of chemical fertilizer (RDF) were evaluated with one control (RDF only) on summer season mungbean cv. Samrat during 2022 at Instructional Farm under Seacom Skills University, Birbhum, West Bengal. The experiment was laid down in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with eight treatment combinations replicated thrice. The results showed that tallest plants (58.5 cm) with more number of leaves (23.9) were observed in RDF + Urea at 2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS) treated plots. The same treatment showed the highest number of branches per plant (17.5) with maximum DMA (284.6 g m-2) but in case of underground portion like root length recorded highest in DAP foliar spray plot. Earliest 50% flowering, early pod emergence and early picking was recorded where combined application of RDF + borax at 0.2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS). The treatment RDF + DAP at 2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS) augmented highest number of pods plant-1 (18.8), pod length (6.80 cm), number of seeds pod-1 (10.75), seed index (21.2 g), seed yield (845 kg/ha) and stover yield (2020 kg/ha); followed by RDF + NPK (19-19-19) at 1% and RDF + Urea at 2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS). Yield increase was to the tune of 3.54% to 10.74%. The gross returns, net returns and benefit: cost ratio were maximum when the crop received RDF + DAP at 2% (sprayed twice at 20 and 40 DAS). Hence, combined use of RDF + DAP at 2% and urea at 2% (sprayed 20 and 40 DAS) is beneficial for green gram production programme during summer season in the Red and Lateritic soils of West Bengal.

In order to select high yielding winged bean genotypes, genetic variations between the winged bean genotypes were studied to determine the genetic link between seed yield and yield contributing factors. A study was conducted during kharif season 2021-2022 on morphological and molecular characterization of 20-winged bean genotypes (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) for 10 quantitative traits along with 16 ISSR markers were used to evaluate promising and suitable genotypes for cultivation and research. According to the findings of the study, it was observed that the genotype ‘IC 112416’ exhibited the greatest pod length, measuring 17.8 cm, as well as the highest number of seeds per pod with an average value of 11.8 seed/pod. We found similar results from the study of genetic components and association analysis as PCV (24.4), GCV (23.25), heritability (90.15%) and genetic advance (45.48%). Here we have standardized a DNA extraction protocol for isolating a quantified DNA using CTAB and PVP extraction method, which is further used in different molecular studies. From the molecular analysis it was found that 12 markers were polymorphic in nature with high allelic frequency. The PIC (Polymorphic information content) of each marker is recorded and cluster analysis of molecular data is done using Jaccard’s similarity coefficient with the help of dendrogram.

The present investigation was undertaken on mungbean cv. MH 318 and MH 421 to evaluate the effect of organic seed treatments with botanical seed treatments, viz., Trachyspermum ammi, Azadirachta indica, Dalbergia sissoo, Murraya koenigii, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Ocimum canum, Curcuma longa rhizome and leaf powder, woodash, and Ocimum basillicum leaf powder and storage period on seed quality parameters. The fresh seeds were treated with the above-mentioned botanical powders and stored in polythene bags under ambient conditions for 18 months. The seed quality parameters were recorded just after treatment, 6, 12, and 18 months after treatment during storage. The results revealed that the six-month-old seeds of both varieties performed better in terms of seed quality parameters, i.e., germination, speed of germination, vigour index, emergence index, and seedling establishment, as compared to freshly treated seeds. With the extension of the storage duration, a steady decline in quality metrics was seen after 6 months of storage. Seed coating with turmeric rhizome powder enhanced and retained the seed quality after a storage period of 18 months.

Mungbean is an important short-duration annual crop primarily grown for food and fodder purposes in Asian countries. Present investigation aimed to explore the biochemical diversity by conducting quantitative phytochemical tests including total phenol, flavonoid, tannin, cardiac glycosides and alkaloid content and to check the antioxidant potential of leaf, stem, pod and seed samples of 26 mungbean genotypes were sown in randomized block design during June to August, 2021 with three replications under similar agronomical conditions. Significant variations were observed in genotypes with respect to quantification assays and plant parts. A strong positive correlation was observed between phenol content and antioxidant potential, and between flavonoid content and glycoside content. Moreover, multivariate approaches including PCA and HCA were performed to characterize, evaluate and categorize mungbean genotypes based on similarities and dissimilarities among them. A first four PCs accounted 90.47% of cumulative variance and loading plot suggested significant contribution of all variables to total variance of PC1 and PC2. Cluster analysis distinguished highly variable genotypes as S-3, S-5, S-6, GM-6, SKNM-1608, SKNM-1801, SKNM-1808 and SKNM- 1809, and all of them were found to be rich in bioactive constitution. These genotypes can be recommended for use as parents in future plant breeding programs, and can also be used in selecting prominent functional mungbean landraces for daily diet purposes.

The rising level of carbon-di-oxide (CO2) has an enormous impact on crop growth and physiology especially in the case of legumes. In general elevated CO2 (e[CO2]) has a positive impact on legumes but, to maximize the benefit crops must be supplemented with adequate levels of essential nutrients especially phosphorus (P). Therefore, a controlled experiment under OTC has been taken to understand the impact of short-term e[CO2] on soil P-dynamics and changes in labile and non-labile soil P-pools under two contrasting genotypes of lentil namely, IPL-316 and IPL-406. Results showed soluble-P (sol-P) and di-calcium P (Ca2-P) both increased significantly under e[CO2] in the case of both the genotypes and results are more prominent in IPL-316. The ratio of labile: non-labile P increased under e[CO2] by 28% and 18% for IPL-316 and IPL-406 respectively over ambient. Organic carbon and available nitrogen (N) and P also increased significantly under e[CO2]. Short term exposure of e[CO2] failed to show any noticeable change in bulk soil P-dynamics. Hence, short term e[CO2] exposure can cause marked change in labile P-pools and the results are more prominent in IPL-316.

Chickpea is one of the major pulses cultivated and consumed worldwide. Region wise performance of chickpea was judged based on two important parameters i.e., growth and instability, in Maharashtra state. Compound growth rates was estimated by fitting non-linear model to the area, production and productivity data for the period from 1960-61 to 2019- 20. Instability was assessed by employing Cuddy-Della Valle instability index. The results showed that the production of chickpea increased in the state during the entire study period. Growth in area was the main reason for significant growth in production up to 1990, but thereafter, increase in chickpea production was due to area expansion coupled with improvement in the yield. As against expansion in area and production, rise in yield level of chickpea was slower in the state. High growth in area and production of chickpea was associated with high level of instability. Area variability in chickpea was more as compared to yield variability at overall level. Therefore, attempt should be made to stabilize the yield level in chickpea.

Cluster front line demonstrations (CFLDs) on chickpea variety ‘Phule Vikram’ were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Khamgaon during Rabi 2020 to 2023 in Beed district of Maharashtra. The results revealed that average seed yield of 1803 kg/ha under demonstrated plots as compared to farmer’s practice (1360 kg/ ha). The average yield of chickpea is increased by 33.12% with high yielding varietal intervention. Adoption of scientific package of practices like seed treatment, integrated nutrient management, irrigation at critical growth stage, seed treatment with bio-fertilizers and need based suitable plant protection practices resulted in higher yields. The improved technologies gave higher net returns of ` 44,150, ` 60,765 and ` 65,898 per hectare as against to farmer’s practices i.e., ` 25,200, ` 38,605 and ` 47,625 per hectare during the study period 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23, respectively. This shows the efficiency and effectiveness of the improved technologies as a result of successful technical interventions to enhance the production and productivity of chickpea.

This shows the efficiency and effectiveness of the improved technologies as a result of successful technical interventions to enhance the production and productivity of chickpea.","PeriodicalId":477208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Legumes","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136373039","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 design of a chickpea planter and its optimum performance requires physical and engineering properties of the grain varying with cultivars. Such properties include size, shape, mass, density, static friction coefficient, and repose angle etc. The cultivars viz. JG 16, HC 5, KWR 108, IPC 4-1, IPC 5-62, DCP 92-3, IPC 4-98 and JG 14 were investigated at 11.0±1.0 per cent moisture content using standard methodology. The grain size was presented in terms of major, intermediate, minor, and geometric mean diameters as 8.49-9.78, 5.91-7.23, 5.88-6.94, and 6.68-7.89 mm, respectively. The shape of the grain was presented in terms of sphericity which ranged from 0.78-0.81. The thousand seed mass, bulk density, and true density were 198-338 g, 830-880 kg m-3, and 1310-1350 kg m-3, respectively. The static friction coefficient was the least against aluminium followed by galvanised iron and mild steel surfaces with respective ranges of 0.37-0.40, 0.41-0.45, and 0.52-0.56. The angle of repose ranged from 26.4-27.7 degrees. There was a significant varietal difference in different physical and engineering properties of chickpeas except true density and angle of repose, where the difference was non-significant.
