The present study was conducted to evaluate ten advanced germplasm of kodo millet for different physico- biochemical and yield related traits in kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) during Kharif 2013- 14 at the Students’ Instructional farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (U.P.) India. A wide range of variability were observed for all the characters studied in 10 kodo millet germplasm collected from farmer’s field of eastern U.P. A significant variation was detected for all traits suggested that there was considerable variability among the germplasm. It was observed that characters viz., plant height of different germplasms recorded between . 50.85 to70.07cm. The 1000- seed weight (test weight) of different germplasms was recorded between 3.86 to 7.78 g and maximum protein content was recorded in the germplasm NDK-8 (9.86%). The maximum crude fibre content was obtained in the germplasm NDK-9 (6.90%) followed by NDK2 (6.81%) and NDK7 (6.80%). Maximum total mineral content was noticed in NDK-5 (2.29%) and lowest content was recorded in NDK-4 (1.94%). These parameters are effective for selection of better germplasm. So these were utilized in further research work.

The present investigation was carried out at Student’s Instructional Farm of N.D.U.A. and T, Kumarganj Faizabad in the Kharif season 2014. Eleven germplasm of kodo millet namely, K-1, K-2, K-3, K-4, K-5, K-6, K-7, K-8, K-9, K-10 and KK1 were collected and used as experimental material in the field trail. The seeds of kodo millet germplasm were sown in Randomized Block with three replications on 4th August 2014. During experimentation recommended agronomical practices were adopted to achieve good crop. After harvesting the seeds of each germplasm were collected separately and used for the analysis of various biochemical and antinutritional parameters. The seeds of each germplasm were ground into fine powder stage and stored in desiccator for further analysis. Highest protein content was reported in the germplasm K-6 (9.53%). The tryptophan content in germplasm was recorded higher in K-6 (0.87g/16gN) while methionine content was reported in K-6 (0.73g/16gN).Lysine content was found highest in K-6(3.28g/16gN). Total mineral content and crude fibre were noticed maximum in K-4(4.54%) and K-2(6.93%).The antnutritional factors such as phytic acid, total phenol and tannin content were reported less in the germplasm K-6(114.61mg/100g),K-6(63.74 mg/100g) and K-6(102.22 mg/100g).On the basis of overall observations the germplasm K-6, K-10, K-3 and K-9 were found superior and utilized in further research work.

Present investigation was conducted during November 2014 to October 2015 in Gorakhpur district (U.P.) for storage diseases of banana. The eight fruit markets were visited for survey and sampling of banana. During survey, maximum disease incidence was found during July to October from Bargadwa fruit market while minimum disease incidence was found in Raptinagar between November to February; crown rot, Anthracnose and finger rot diseases were found to be dominant diseases. Total 12 fungi viz., Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Alternaria spp., Botryodiplodia theobromae, Colletotricum musae, Fusarium equiseti, F. moniliforme, F. oxysporum, F. solani, Mucor circinelloides, Penicillum spp. and Rhizopus stolonifer were isolated from diseased fruit samples. Pathogenicity test also fulfilled Koch’s postulates.Keywords
