Sixteen genotypes of cauliflower were evaluated to study the magnitude of genetic variability and character association for growth, yield and quality traits. The genotypes were evaluated for fourteen quantitative characters viz., plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, fresh weight of leaf, total weight of the plant, days taken to curd initiation, days taken to curd maturity, diameter of the curd, average weight of curd with guard leaves, curd weight without guard leaves, vitamin C and yield of curd with guard leaves. The Present study showed that both phenotypic co-efficient of variation (PVC) and genotypic co-efficient of variation (GCV) were higher for most of the traits and indicates that characters were much influenced by environmental factors. The estimate of high heritability in broad sense was observed for two traits viz., curd weight without guard leaves and vitamin C, while the moderate heritability was observed for stem diameter. The high genetic advance in per cent of mean showed by curd weight with guard leaves while the lowest genetic advance in per cent of mean showed by leaves plant-1. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was observed for curd weight with guard leaves which are governed by additive gene and could be effectively improved through selection. The genotypes Pusa Snowball K-1 showed high genotypic co-efficient of variability for vitamin C followed by Pusa Sharad and Pusa Hybrid-2, while the genotype K-1 showed low genotypic and phenotypic co-efficient of variability for number of leaves plant-1.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of foliar application of calcium and boron on vegetative growth, flowering, fruiting and fruit quality of young pomegranate plants cv. BHAGWA. The experiment was set under Randomized Block Design with application of calcium (3 and 5%), boron (0.25 and 0.5%) and their combinations with three replications. The experiment showed that combined application (T6) of calcium (3%) and boron (0.25%) increased plant height at higher rate as compared to their sole application and control. It (T6) also produced more number of secondary branches at early stage but, under T7 (calcium 3% and boron 0.5%) at later stages of growth. Although, it was a young orchard, however, flower production was higher under T6 followed by T7 compared to others which was reflected on fruit yield and fruit yield was the highest (359.5 kg/ha) under T6 followed by T7. Fruit weight and fruit size was recorded maximum (77.0 g, 6.1 cm length, 6.00 cm diameter) under T7. But, other quality parameters like fruit volume (70 ml), specific gravity (1.10 g/cc), TSS (12.57 °B) and sugars (6.66 % Total sugars, 4.73 % reducing sugar) were very good under T6. It is concluded that the combined application of calcium (3%) and boron (0.25%) (T6) could be practiced for good growth, yield and quality fruits of pomegranate.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted during 2014-15 to study the performance of different levels of inorganic fertilizers with combination of bio-fertilizers at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow. It comprised application of different level of inorganic and bio-fertilizers in Randomized Block Design with thirteen treatments i.e. T1-Control (No inorganic and no bio-fertilizer), T2-(100 kg N ha-1+Azotobacter), T3-(100 kg N ha-1+PSB), T4-(75 kg N ha-1+Azotobacter), T5-(75 kg N ha-1+PSB), T6-(60 kg P ha-1+Azotobacter), T7-(60 kg P ha-1+PSB), T8-(45 kg P ha-1+Azotobacter), T9-(45 kg P ha-1+PSB),T10-(60 kg K ha-1+Azotobacter), T11-(60 kg K ha-1+PSB),T12-(45 kg K ha-1+Azotobacter) and T13-(45 kg K ha-1+PSB). It was observed that overall minimum plant height was obtained (14.18 cm) at 90 days after transplanting in T1-Control and maximum plant height (18.67 cm) in T2-(100 kg N ha-1+Azotobacter). The maximum number of leaves was recorded highest (18.67) in T2-(100 kg N ha-1+Azotobacter) with followed by (17.67) in T4-(75 kg N ha-1+Azotobacter). The minimum spreading of plant in North-South direction (15.63 cm) was recorded in case of control. The highest yield per plant observed in T2 (173.42g). Among the thirteen treatments T2-(100 Kg N ha-1+Azotobacter) showed best performance in terms of maximum fruit yield of strawberry.Keywords

Taub.] were assessed in a field experiment entitled performance study of cluster bean germplasms under Lucknow condition in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Research Farm of the Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow- 226025 (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2016. The performance studies of 40 diverse genotypes of cluster bean and considerable variation was recorded for all the characters. The observations were recorded on 19 characters viz., plant height (cm), plant width (cm), leaf length, leaf width (cm), number of cluster, length of pod (cm), width of pods (cm), breath of pods (cm), number of pods, number of leaves, width of leaves, seed per pod, weight of plant without leaves (g), weight of green leaves (g), weight of dry leaves (g), leaf length/petiole ratio (cm), stem width, crude protein (%), ash (%) and dry matter (%).Keywords
