A total of 164 infertile eggs of a single strain of white leghorn of same age and reared in cages under identical conditions of feeding and management were procured fromCentral Avian Research Institute Izatnagar, Bareilly (U.P.).Remaining 164 eggs were divided into four groups, each comprising of 41 eggs.Initial qualities of egg in respect of albumen index, yolk index, Haugh unit were recorded.Both oiled and untreated eggs were kept at room and refrigeration temperatures. Crude groundnut oil proved good and superior to control at both the atmospheric conditions under observations.The crude groundnut oil treated eggs increased shelf-life to 28 days at room temperature and 75 days at refrigeration temperature while the control eggs have the shelf life of 14 days at room temperature and 60 days at refrigeration temperature.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted to study the extent of heterosis in fifty five genotypes of fieldpea including ten parents and their forty five F1's developed through half diallel mating design. Based on overall study of forty five hybrids for heterobeltiosis and economic heterosis the cross HUDP 954 × LFP 477 followed by HFP-4 × IPFD 10-13 and IPFD-1-10 × LFP 477 were found best heterotic combinations for yield and its contributing traits viz., number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, number of primary branches, test weight and harvest index in fieldpea. These crosses could be exploited for isolating useful transgressive segregants in fieldpea.Keywords

Frontline demonstration (FLD) programme is an effective technology transfer tool for better technology adoption that bridges the yield gaps. Keeping in view of an effective extension approach of FLDs for dissemination of soybean technology were studied for 3 years during Kharif 2012-13 to 2014-15 by the KVK, Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. An impact evaluation was based on the comparison of beneficiary and non-beneficiary respondents with reference to increase in knowledge level, extent of adoption of improved soybean production technologies, the yield gap analysis and economics were also measured. It was found that the level of knowledge of beneficiary farmers regarding different improved soybean production technologies was higher than non-beneficiary ranging from 2.00 MPS in field preparation to 30.00 MPS in seed inoculation with cultures. The overall significant difference was found in knowledge level of beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers. The adoption level of beneficiary farmers observed 58 per cent and only 28 per cent have accepted but not adopted the technology due to some situational constraints. It is also revealing that there was a wide yield gap between potential and demonstration yields due to technology and extension yield gaps. Extension yield gaps varied to the extent of 4.10 to 9.42q ha-1 while technology gap ranged from 3.98 to 7.81q ha-1. Improved technologies gave higher mean net return of Rs. 46802/- ha-1 with a benefit cost ratio 3.34 as compared to farmers practice (Rs. 27066/- ha-1 and benefit cost ratio 2.59). On an average technology index was observed 24.03 per cent, which shows good performance of technical interventions.Keywords

A total of one hundred and sixty four fresh, neat clean, infertile eggs of White Leghorn here were procured from a single flock of same age from Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar, Bareilly (U.P.). Remaining 164 eggs were divided into 4 groups, each comprising of 41 eggs. These groups were categorized into two group and were kept at room temperature and remaining two were kept in refrigerator. Room temperature noticed from 22°C to 38°C and relative humidity from 40 to 75 per cent. The temperature of refrigerator was noted as 8±1°C and relative humidity 75 to 85 per cent. Shelf life, weight loss, albumen index, yolk index, haugh unit were noted. Significantly lowest percentage of weight loss of eggs was found in refined soybean oil treated eggs. The treatment T2 and T4 enhanced the shelf-life of eggs for a maximum period of 35 days at room and 90 days at refrigeration temperature which are untreated eggs (control) maintained the organoleptically acceptable life for a period of 14 days and 60 days at room and refrigeration temperature, respectively.Keywords

The study was carried out in assured and less irrigated areas of Aligarh district in Utter Pradesh. Sample was consisted of 300 dairy farmers (150 from each part). The result depicted that majority (71.34%) of dairy farmers of assured irrigated area were highly motivated to opt economic pursuit as compared to only 24.67 per cent in less irrigated area. In assured irrigated area most of the farmers had either favourable (47.33%) or undecided (40.67%) attitude towards dairying, while less than half (49.33%) dairy farmers had favourable or undecided attitude towards dairy farming. Result depicted that both the sample differed highly significant economic motivation (t=99.03) and attitude towards dairy farming (t=112.34).Keywords

Long term integrated nutrient management trails in wheat on Vertisols conducted for 33 years at J. N. Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Research Farm, Jabalpur revealed that highest sustainability yield index (SYI) was observed in 100 per cent NPK+FYM, while lowest was observed in 100 per cent N treatment. However, the mean grain yield was not significantly influenced by different nutrient management practices except in case of control (no manure and fertilizers) and 100 per cent N alone treatments. The continuous application of recommended dose of phosphorus fertilizer to wheat (80 kg ha-1) crop every year resulted in substantial built up of available phosphorus up to 39 kg P2O5 ha-1 from initial level initial of 7.6 P2O5 ha-1.Keywords

There in an acute shortage of feed and fodder for dairy animals due to lack of land availability for growing fodder for animals and high population density. In India majority of farmers are small and marginal land holders. By the use of concentrate feed cost of milk production is increased. The low milk yield in the milch animals under tribal belt due to nutritional deficiency in lacking of green fodder and concentrates. Azolla is a wonderful floating fern rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. On farm trials (OFT) were conducted at farmers field during 2016-17 to 2018-19 for assessment of the Azolla cultivation technology and its impact on milk yield introduced by RVSKVV, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Dhar (M.P.) under tribal belt. The control group representing farmers practice was fed wheat straw and green fodder with wheat bran. In the treatment group 1.5 kg fresh Azolla per animal per day was supplemented over conventional ration. The average daily milk yield was significantly higher in treatment group. Success of this technology led to wide scale adoption by the tribal farmers of Dhar district and KVK Dhar has so far established 940 Azolla cultivation units during the last five years in the district.Keywords

Tree improvement in forestry aims at identifying superior genotypes so as to obtain higher productivity in a shorter period. While selecting superior genotypes, morphological traits like height and girth are given due importance. It is now realized that considering wood quality parameters is essential as it can be highly variable in seemingly identical trees. This would not only reduce the breeding cycle but also enhance the economic value for the growers and ultimately improve the quality of wood-based products. Documenting wood quality traits has always been difficult as they are mostly determined through destructive procedures which are time-consuming and restrictive in terms of a large number of samples. To overcome these limitations, non-destructive tools can be effectively used to obtain information on wood quality parameters in populations and identify superior genotypes. Here we have used non-destructive tools like Pilodyn wood tester and stress wave timer to identify Eucalyptus pellita genotypes having superior wood quality (wood density and stiffness) from 52 selected morphologically better genotypes. Considerable variation exists among the morphologically superior genotypes for Pilodyn penetration (10–17 mm) and stress wave velocity (3.36–4.42 km/s). Ultimately, 26 genotypes have been identified which are superior both in terms of morphology as well as wood quality traits. These genotypes can be used for further propagation and improvement studies in E. pellita.Keywords
