Aims: This experiment was conducted to assess the effect of different chemical preservative in vase life and quality of gerbera cut flowers. Study Design: Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Place and Duration of Study: Department of Horticulture, Prithvi Secondary School, Nawalparsi (East), Nepal, between June 2023 and September 2023. Methodology: Eight different preservative solutions of different concentrations (i.e. 4% sucrose, 200 ppm citric acid, 200 ppm salicylic acid and 1% CaCl2) and their combinations including control treatment i.e. sole application of distilled water were replicated thrice. And, the parameters like water solution uptake, flower weight, flower diameter, stem bending and vase life was observed. Results: The study revealed that among seven different vase solutions, the combination of 4% sucrose + 200 ppm citric acid was found superior for all the parameters observed and supposed to be the most effective vase solutions for prolonging the vase life and reducing the postharvest losses in gerbera. Conclusion: For achieving better quality of gerbera cut flowers, they are better to be treated with sucrose in combination with citric acid or CaCl2, thus can satisfactorily be recommended for commercial growers, wholesalers and retailers.

Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) is one of the important timbers of the world and is honoured as the ‘King’ of Indian timbers. It is grown in large scale by people in farm forestry and agroforestry programme and also by various agencies. To understand the characteristics of seeds and the quality of seedlings raised from seeds of selected teak clones, an investigation was carried out. Fruits were collected from 25 clones of teak grown at Silviculture Research Station, Koshala, Angul, Odisha (India) and tested at College of Forestry, Odisha University of Agriculture & Technology, Bhubaneswar (India). Experiments were carried out under Completely Randomized Design with 3 replications. Significant variation in fruit characteristics such as fruit length, fruit width, 100 fruit weight, number of seeds per fruit, fruit viability and germination percent was observed. Fruit length varied from 1.08 to 1.57cm and ORANP-4 produced longest fruit while MHALA-7 had minimum value. Fruit width differed from 1.20 to 2.58cm and the highest width was recorded in ORAN-1 (1.58 cm) and lowest in MHALA- 7. Weight of 100 fruits ranged from 34.28 to 56.64g and ORAN-1 recorded maximum fruit weight which was at par with MHALP-9 (54.23 g) while ORPUB -13 registered the minimum value which statistically similar to MHALA-7. Number of seeds per fruit varied from 3.10 to 4.00. Fruit viability varied from 47.56 to 70.38% and ORAN-4 excelled in viability and remained statistically at par with ORPUB-23, MHALA-9 and ORANR-6. Germination percent of fruit varied from 30.5 to 49.50% and ORANP-4 recorded maximum germination percent, but it was statistically similar to MHALA-9 and ORANR-6. The growth and quality of seedlings raised from the open pollinated seeds of clones also exhibited significant difference. MHALA-9 excelled over others with regard to collar diameter, height, number of leaves, shoot weight, root weight and quality of seedling in 15 month of assessment in nursery. It recorded seedling quality index of 16.41 at the age of 15 month.

Solanum tuberosum L. is a useful vegetable crop and a member of the Solanaceae family that yields starch molecules with a high concentration. The analysis of both qualitative and quantitative phytochemical substances was the main focus of the current investigation. We have chosen places with road traffic and without road traffic (control) for the crop comparison analysis. The qualitative phytochemical substances analysed protein, carbohydrate, iodine, phenol, tannin, flavonoids, saponin, glycosides, steroids, terpene, and alkaloids. The complete phenolic content exhibits a total mean value of 0.03712, surpassing the threshold of 0.03176, while the overall flavonoid content shows a total mean value of 0.04696, exceeding the threshold of 0.03764. Crops growing close to busy road traffic had lower phytochemical substances, in terms of quantity and quality. This record demonstrates the detrimental impact of air pollution caused by vehicles on crop vegetation. Crop vegetation differs between control and road traffic sites, according to data on both qualitative and quantitative phytochemical substances.

Brinjal, Solanum melongena L. is one of the commercial annual vegetables grown all over India for its edible fruits. Heterosis in vegetable crops helps to exploit the superior hybrids based on its phenotypic superiority over their parents and indicates predominance of non-additive genetic effects. This research was carried out at Department of Vegetable Science, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Periyakulam. The study involves six parents and thirty hybrids laid out in Randomised Block Design with two replications. The cross CO2 × Kothampatti Kathiri, obtained significant positive heterosis (16.53%) for plant height over better parent. Significant heterosis over mid parent was observed for number of branches in Kothampatti Kathiri × Odavai Pachai Kathiri, 33.33%, fruit width in Dharmapuri Oodha Kathiri × Poiyur Purple Kathiri, 25.54%, fruit length in Kothampatti Kathiri × Gobi Pachai Kathiri, 24.33%. Significant negative heterosis over better parent for number of days to 50% flowering was observed in the cross Odavai Pachai Kathiri × Gobi Pachai Kathiri, -9.25%. Significant positive heterosis over standard check was obtained for number of fruit per plant, 35.42% in the cross Dharmapuri Oodha Kathiri × CO2 and fruit yield per plant in Dharmapuri Oodha Kathiri × Odavai Pachai Kathiri, 21.54%. Heterosis exploited could be utilized in further crop improvement program in the development of a superior hybrid.

Mahalanobis D2 statistics were used to analyse the genetic divergence of thirty different okra genotypes, and the results showed that there was a significant amount of genetic variety. The clustering, inter and intra-cluster distances, and trait contributions provided insights into the genetic variability and diversity within the studied okra population. Thirty diverse genotypes were grouped into five clusters with the highest of eighteen genotypes in the cluster I, five in the cluster III & V and one each genotype in the cluster II and IV. Inter and intra cluster D2 values ranged from 8.00 to 16.7 and 0.0 to 7.4, respectively. It showed that inter cluster distance was higher than the intra cluster distance indicating wide genetic diversity among the genotypes of different groups. The cluster means of 11 characters among five clusters indicated that high genetic variability ranged present for yield per plant (222.1-253.1), number of fruits per plant (31.8-38.9), plant height (59.0-100.7) and days to fifty percent flowering (42.8-54.0). The per cent contribution of yield and its attributing characters in genetic divergence were reported maximum for number of fruits per plant (46.4%) and first fruit node (16.3%). The genotypes HB-691-08, HBT-49-1, Hisar Unnat, Hisar Naveen, HBTC-6-7-1, Varsha Uphar, Arka Abhay were superior for overall yield and yield attributing characters. These genotypes were used to exploit genetic variation for further breeding programme.

An experiment was conducted to study the “Effect of sowing dates on performance of different mustard varieties (Brassica juncea L.) in western Uttar Pradesh” during rabi season of 2021-22 at Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (U.P.). The experiment consisted of 12 treatment combinations with Date of sowing and Mustard varieties. The treatment consisted of three dates of sowing and four mustard varieties were tested in RCBD (Factorial) with three replications. Results revealed that the sowing of mustard on D1 (7th October) gave higher plant height (190.2 cm), LAI (4.06), branches plant-1, dry matter accumulation (69.40 g plant-1), seed (21.11 q ha-1), stover (71.76 q ha-1) and biological yield (92.88 q ha-1) of mustard crop. Similarly, the variety V1 (Pusa Vijay) gave highest plant height (197.5 cm), LAI (4.22), branches plant-1, dry matter accumulation (69.65 g plant-1), seed (22.27 q ha-1), stover (69.59 q ha-1) and biological yield (91.87 q h-1) of mustard crop. Thus, it may be concluded that the Pusa Vijay variety of mustard sown on 7th October gave significantly higher values of growth, yield attributes and yield of mustard.

The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with Eight treatments and three replications. Eight treatments viz. Control, 100% VC (8 tonnes per hectare), 100% FYM (10 tonnes per hectare),100% PM (10 tonnes per hectare),50% FYM + 50% VC + Natural liquid manure (Jeevamrit), 50% FYM + 50% PM + Natural liquid manure (Jeevamrit), 50% FYM + 25% VC + 25% PM, 25% FYM + 50% VC + 25% PM along with different management practices were implemented. The result revealed that the highest nutrient content (%) by seed (3.15 N, 0.511 P, 0.560 K) and Stover (0.601 N, 0.180 P, 1.48 K) and the highest nutrient uptake (kg ha-1) of all the three nutrients by seed (56.54 N, 9.17 P, 10.05 K) and stover (28.80 N, 8.63 P, 70.92 K) were recorded with combined effect of FYM, VC with application of Jeevamrit viz., and 50% NPKS through FYM+ 50% N through VC which was statistically at par toT6. Reduction in nutrient supply resulted significantly lower uptake of N, P and K in the treatment which received only 100% FYM. Similarly, the maximum seed (17.95 q ha-1) and Stover (47.92 q ha-1) yield of mustard was recorded in the T5 treatment (50% FYM + 50% VC + Natural liquid manure Jeevamrit) treatment received 50% recommended doses of NPKS through FYM and 50% N through VC which was at par to T6 in which 50% FYM + 50% PM + Natural liquid manure (Jeevamrit) was applied. However, the lowest value found in control treatment (T6).

Twenty two indigenous mulberry accessions were evaluated for growth and yield traits in three seasons. ANOVA on growth and yield showed significant variation among the accessions for the traits. The interaction between accession and season was highly significant for all traits. The co-efficient of variation was maximum for single leaf weight (17.08%) and minimum for total shoot length (0.08%). The divergence analysis grouped 22 indigenous mulberry accessions into 5 clusters. Maximum accessions were grouped in clusters I & II (8 acc.) followed by cluster V (4 acc.). The diversity among the accessions measured by inter-cluster distance (D2) showed variation. The cluster group indicates that mulberry accessions were distributed in different clusters irrespective of geographical distribution.
对 22 个本地桑树品种在三个季节的生长和产量性状进行了评估。对生长和产量进行的方差分析显示，不同品种之间的性状差异显著。在所有性状上，品种和季节之间的交互作用都非常显著。单叶重的变异系数最大（17.08%），总芽长的变异系数最小（0.08%）。差异分析将 22 个本地桑树品种分为 5 个群组。最多的品种被归入第 I 和第 II 群（8 个），其次是第 V 群（4 个）。用聚类间距离（D2）来衡量，可以看出各登录基因之间的多样性存在差异。聚类组表明，桑树品种分布在不同的聚类中，与地理分布无关。
