A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif seasons of 2010, 2011 and 2012 to study the effect of planting density and integrated nutrients on flowering, growth and yield of vegetable cowpea cv. AVCP-1 at Horticultural Research Farm, AAU, Anand. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. From the three year data, it was found that plating density 60 x 30 cm recorded the highest plant height however, it was comparable with 45 x 45 cm. Planting density 45 x 45 cm recorded maximum pod weight and green pod yield which remained at par with planting density 60 x 30 cm. Whereas, planting density did not show any significant effect on days to flower initiation, days to 50 per cent flowering, number of branches per plant, pod length and number of seeds per pod. Application of nutrients 30 + 60 + 0 kg NPK / ha recorded significantly the earliest flowering. Application of fertilizer resulted in significant decreased in nodule production. However,any nutrients treatment did not observe the significant difference for days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height, number of branches per plant, yield attributing characters and green pod yield.

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.

Objective: The article is aim to analyse the behaviour of a transversely rough narrow width tapered pad bearing. Design/methodology/approach: The stochastic model of Christensen and Tonder has been utilized to find the effect surface roughness. The associated stochastically averaged Reynolds type equation is discussed to attain the pressure distribution,load carrying capacity and friction. Findings: The findings suggest that the effect of transverse surface roughness remains adverse. However, the situation gets better in the case of negatively skew roughness. This positive effect improves when variance ( -ve) occurs. Application: There was no reults on the effect of transverse roughness on the performance of narrow width tapered pad bearing. Although there were some discussion on the effect of longitudinal roughness. Therefore, it was decided to evaluate the effect of transverse roughness in general.Keywords
