A field experiment conducted at Horticulture farm, Department of Horticulture, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Jaipur) during summer season, 2010. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potash @ 180, 120 and 80 kg/ha was applied as per treatment through urea, DAP and MOP, boron and zinc was applied @ 10 kg/ha B, 25 kg/ha Zn through borax and zinc sulphate as soil application, respectively. Application of FYM 15 t/ha along with 75per cent RDF (NPK) + B + Zn proved to be the best treatment combination in terms of number of primary branches per plant, average number of fruits per plant, fruit yield (per plant, per plot and per hectare), net returns and B:C ratio in tomato cv. Rocky.Keywords

Chilli is a high value crop grown commercially in almost all parts of India for its large green blocky fruits which are used as vegetable. The demand for its fruits is increasing with ever increasing population. A 8 X 8 half diallel set involving diverse parents was studied. The present study revealed that even though none of the parents were good general combiners for all the traits. The parents IVPBC-535 and SG-5 that were good general combiners for most of the traits which, could be used in future breeding programme in chilli for obtaining desirable segregants. The sca effects in general are relatively less significant in self pollinated crops like chilli. However, cross combinations with high degree of sca effects involving both the parents having good gca effects would be ideal for deriving desirable genotypes in advance generations. From the this point the combinations IVPBC-535 x ACS-03-14 and IVPBC-535 x SG-5 would ideal one which may serve as a better source population for deriving superior segregants in advanced generations.Keywords

A field experiment on effect of integrated nitrogen management on growth, flowering and flower yield of gaillardia (Gaillardia pulchella Foug) cv. LORENZIANA under middle Gujarat conditions was conducted at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during the year 2009–10. The treatments comprised of organic fertilizers, biofertilizer and three level of nitrogen (100, 75 and 50 kg N/ha) including control 100 kg N/ha + FYM 10 t/ha were tried in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The results revealed that application of 75 kg N/ha + vermicompost 3.75 t/ha produced significantly maximum plant height (73.33 cm), number of branches per plant (36.98) and plant spread (72.68 cm in north - south direction and 68.59 cm in east - west direction). Same treatment recorded significantly minimum days for first flower initiation, 50 per cent flowering, maximum number of flowers per plant, maximum flower diameter as well as weight of individual flower. Significantly maximum flower yield per plant and hectare were recorded in the same treatment. The treatment of 50 kg N/ha + FYM 20 t/ha obtained maximum shelf-life of flower (1.80 days) as compared to control.
