Abstract

An experiment was conducted for two years during 2004 to 2006 to study the crop rotation impact on the bacterial wilt incidence in the brinjal crop involving the two non-host crops viz., maize and sorghum. Study indicates that, the wilt incidence was reduced to 59.10 and 58.52 per cent with maize and sorghum, respectively compared to monocropping sequence (82.31%) of brinjal.

Abstract

Total 44 onion genotypes were analysed for total soluble solids, dry matter content, pyruvic acid, calcium, fibre, magnesium and vitamin C. The TSS range observed was 8.36^oBrix (OG-42) to 22.60 ^oBrix (OG-3), dry matter content ranged from 14.61 per cent (OG-23) to 22.50 per cent (OG-13), pyruvic acid was 4.15 μmoles/g (OG-24) to 6.10 μmoles/g (OG-3). The maximum calcium content was recorded in genotype OG-28 (20.86 mg/100 g), fibre ranged from 8.00 mg/100g (OG-17) to 28.33 mg/100 g (OG-44), Amount of magnesium is ranged from 0.46 mg/ 100g (OG-17) to 6.23 mg/ 100 g (OG-2) and vitamin. C content ranged from 57.00 mg/100g in OG- 5 to 95.93 mg/100g (OG-3).
