Among the various characters that determine the economic value of a forage variety, persistency and aggressiveness are of considerable importance particularly in case of those species or varieties which are meant for increase of forage from a native pastureland. The precise criteria for judging the relative degree of expression of these characters and a method for estimating the same have not been adequately investigated in the past, in the pasture research work. In the present paper, while studying the varietal differences in these two characters, it is suggested that the character of persistency may be adequately understood by the proportion of sterile to fertile tillers, plant size and a continued increase in its volume with almost absence or presence of a very little of the dead matter portion of the clones over a long growth period. For the character of aggressiveness the criteria suggested are the total canopy of plants, their relative resistance to the encroachment of other vegetation, their efficiency in auto-regeneration and in competition for survival with associated flora in a mixed stand. Using these criteria, eight varieties of Cenchrus setigerus grass have been evaluated for the expression of their characters- persistency and aggressiveness. From among these eight varieties, P.S. 31 has shown a striking superiority in these characters. This variety also is among the best forage producing varieties. This suggests that it looks possible to obtain, in a single variety, the character of high forage production of superior quality and also characters of persistency and aggressiveness in a greater measure. These studies further indicate that the high production of underground organs per unit area appears to be one of the attributes for the high expression of these two characters in the present material.- Balance Nutrition Management in Potato under Riverine Soils of Uttar Pradesh

The on farm trail was conducted for three years, during winter season of 2007-08 to 2009- 10 at farmers fields of Kannauj district. The pilot area situated in the catchments area of river Kali. For assessment of nutrients application on potato crop, the fertilizer-use-technology was refined with the inclusion of soil test base use of nutrients. Nutrients application on the soil test base i.e., 203 kg N+65 kg P2O5 + 70 kg K2O/ha declined 3.63 per cent and 3.79 per cent tuber yield only compared with farmers practice and R.D.F., which was negligible. The highest net return of Rs. 88527/ha was achieved from RDF closely followed by Rs. 84967/ha, available from soil test base use of fertilizer. The lowest net retutn of Rs. 72417/ ha and BCR (1:2.64) were found in farmers practice. The B:C ratio in soil test base (1:3.05) and R.D.F. (1:3.07) was recorded similar.Keywords

An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Garden, Department of Horticulture, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during two consecutive year. The main objective was to produce qualitative and quantative fruits yield of papaya for fetching good return with use of chemical and physical mutagens. The maximum fruit yield of papaya was recorded by 24.86 kg/plant with the use gamma irradiation 10 kr, followed by control (24.01 kg/plant). Application of EMS mutagen @ 0.2% and 0.4% gave fruits by 18.38 kg/plant and 18.64 kg/plant, respectively. It is worth while to mention here that the lower doses of chemical and physical mutagens use on papaya gave better response over the higher doses. The growth and yield trails was found in concordance to fruits yield of papaya.Keywords

Out of 54 isolates of fungi and bacteria isolated from soil, three isolates of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai (Th-l, Th-2 and Th- 3), two of T. viride Pers. for (Tv-l and Tv-2) and one each of Penicillium sp., P.cyelopium Westling, Eupenicillium sp., Aspergillus sp., A. flavus Link., A.fumigatus Fres., A.niger Van Tieghem and an unidentified bacterium were found antagonistic to Sclerotium rolfsii Sacco All the isolates of T.harzianum, T. viride and Gliocladium sp. were found to be potential antagonists when tested by dual culture technique and culture filtrate methods. Microscopic observations revealed the mycoparasitic activity of T.harzianum in dual culture. Inhibitory activity of autoclaved culture filtrate was less effective as compared to filter-sterilized culture filtrate. Culture filtrate of T.harzianum (Th-2)and Gliocladium sp. were the most effective in inhibiting sclerotial germination. Complete inhibition of sclerotial germination was observed in T.harzianum (Th-l, Th-2 and Th-3), T. viride (Tv-l and Tv-2) and Glioeladium sp. treated sclerotia after 30 days of incubation in soil. Wheat bran substrate supported maximum growth of T.harzianum and T. viride. MiXing of wheat bran culture of T.harzianum (Th-2), T.viride (Tv-2) and Glioeladiu, sp. @ 10 glkg soil reduced the seedling mortality to 12.71, 14.72 and 17.98 per cent, respectively as compared to 86 per cent in check under green house conditions.Keywords

Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. grossum Sendt.) is an important commercial crop grown under protected condition in Himachal Pradesh. Being long duration under protected environment, it is the principle money spinner off-season crop. Production of bell pepper under protected conditions in the state is very low as compared to the National and International levels because of lack of suitable Cultivars and hybrids resistant to bacterial wilt. Among biotic stresses bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is the most devastating disease under protected as well as open field conditions in mid hills of HP which reduces yield of capsicum to very low levels. Numerous attempts have been made to develop bacterial wilt resistant varieties, but till date no resistant hybrid is available. The best option to overcome this problem is grafting scions of horticulturally superior hybrids on resistant ischolar_mainstocks. The study revealed that chilli ischolar_mainstock PI-201232 was the most suitable bacterial wilt resistant ischolar_mainstock of bell pepper whereas; brinjal ischolar_mainstocks were not suitable for bell pepper scions.Keywords

There are several modes are available for teaching to the farmers through distance training system, out of which telecast of video programme, broadcast of audio programmes, telecounselling etc. are eco-friendly modes, solving the farmers problems. The telecounselling is a ecofriendly and easy system of distance training, which is available in rural area in the form of mobiles and landline. The experiment on telecounselling for improvement of potato yield was tried in the villages Bhawanipur and Daipur of district Kannauj and Rajpura, Baghauli, Jasharau and Shaidpur of district Mainpuri for the first time. The soil of experimental site was sandy loam with poor fertility. There is certain drawback in the cultivation of potato. The farmers are not using the recommended agronomic practices, resulting in, the low yield obtained from potato. The farm families of potato growers were linked with C.S.Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur and KVK, Kannauj. The growers put up their problems of potato cultivation before the scientists through telecouselling mode of distance training as and when required. The scientists solved their problems immediately with same mode of distance training. The cultivation of potato was recommended with three varieties i.e. Kufri Bahar, Kufri Pukhraj and Kufri Pushkar through telecounselling mode. Cultivars Kufri Bahar, Kufri Pukhraj and Kufri Pushkar gave tuber yield by 331.55 q/ha, 354.22 q/ha and 383.71 q/ha, respectively. The growth and yield traits were concordant to yield obtained from potato cultivars. The highest net return Rs. 123569/ha and BCR 1:2.15 were obtained from adoption of cultivation of cultivar Kufri Pushkar closely followed by the net return Rs. 106031/ha and BCR 1:2.00 available from the cultivation of Kufri Pukhraj.

An inter-specific tomato-potato graft study was undertaken in a naturally ventilated quonset polyhouse at Palampur during the autumn and winter seasons 2015. The treatments comprised of combination of two tomato hybrids [Avtar-7711 (S1) and GS-600 (S2)] as scions, three potato cultivars viz. Kufri Himsona (V1), Kufri Himalini (V2) and Kufri Giriraj (V3) as ischolar_mainstocks and two grafting methods viz. tongue grafting (G1) and cleft grafting (G2). GS-600 tongue grafted on Kufri Himalini (V2G1S2) resulted in maximum survival of grafted plants (93.25%) as well as grafting success rate (81.68%). Kufri Himalini (V2) was found to be the best ischolar_mainstock for tomato scions which gave 2 maximum survival of grafted plants (87.89%) as well as grafting success rate (76.59%). Cleft grafting (G2) resulted in maximum survival of grafted plants (84.13%) and grafting success rate (72.95%). Tomato scion GS-600 (S2) was found to be the best scion for potato ischolar_mainstocks which resulted in a significantly higher survival of grafted plants (85.72%) and grafting success rate (73.85%) as well. Kufri Himalini+GS- 600 was the best ischolar_mainstock-scion combination giving maximum survival of grafted plants and grafting success rate irrespective of the grafting methods used. It is also concluded from the study that irrespective of the ischolar_mainstocks and grafting methods employed, scion GS-600 (S2 always had better survival in grafted plants and a significantly higher grafting success rate at least for the three best performing treatments and grafting tomato on potato plants in compatible combinations had a significant impact on their survival.Keywords

Incidence of pea ischolar_main rot /wilt complex disease had been recorded in different agro climatic zone of pea growing areas of the Himachal Pradesh. In Zone IV, the disease had assumed severe form with incidence of 54.7% at HAREC, Kukumseri whereas, in Zone II and III, the status of the disease remained moderate with incidence of 17.7 to 35.3% at Bajaura and Palampur respectively. Two species of Fusarium viz., Fusarium solani f.sp pisi and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. pisi were found to be associated with pea ischolar_main rot/wilt complex disease in Himachal Pradesh. Both species produced distinct symptoms when inoculated on pea seedlings in test tubes containing Hoagland's solution. F. solani f. sp. pisi was solely responsible to cause ischolar_main rots (necrotic and macerated ischolar_main tissues) of peas with yellowing of leaves from basal leaf to upward and then, ultimately collapse of infected pea plants whereas, F. oxysporum f. sp. pisi was responsible to cause wilting of peas (without ischolar_main rots) and then, ultimately collapse of infected pea plants.Keywords

Colocasia leaf blight is the most devastating disease of colocasia incited by oomycetous pathogen Phytophthora colocasiae Raciborski. Use of chemicals in the management of this disease may lead to health and ecological hazards thus in the present investigation, the efficacy of botanicals were evaluated both under in-vitro and in-vivo conditions against colocasia blight. Four different botanicals which included leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica (neem), Melia azedarach (drek) and botanical formulations of lantana ark and dashparni were evaluated against P. colocasiae at four concentrations ( 5, 10, 12 and 15 per cent). Lantana ark was found to be most effective under in-vitro as well as in-vivo conditions at 15 per cent concentration resulting in 72.3 per cent mycelial growth inhibition and 65 per cent disease control, respectively followed by Azadirachta indica.Keywords
