Abstract

Total eighteen fungi were found to be associated with the seeds of Chilli varieties during the present study. The seeds of Chilli var. Local showed maximum seed mycoflora with maximum per cent incidence. Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus nigricans, Alternaria tenuis, Rhizopus stolonifer and Curvularia lunata were the common and dominant seed borne fungi of Brinjal varieties. The common and dominant seed borne fungi were found to be inhibitory for seed germination and caused great loss in seedling vigor, seed and seedling rots of the chilli var. Local. The ischolar_main stems, leaf and bark extracts of some common and easily available plants were screened for the Bio-control of the seed mycoflora of the Chilli. Root, stem and leaf extracts of all the test plants were found to be inhibitory in more or less degree for the incidence of seed mycoflora while with a few exceptions, they were found to be stimulatory for seed germination.

Abstract

The research experiment was carried out to study the effect of clinoptilolite zeolite on the yield of oyster mushroom (P. Sajor caju). Different proportions of Zeolite was added to substrate (Paddy straw) and it was observed that, addition of 10 g Zeolite in substrate resulted 733.68 g/kg yield, addition of 20 g zeolite produces 764.30 g/kg yield and with addition of 30 g zeolite in substrate resulted 815.20 g/kg yield of mushroom.

Abstract

The present study was undertaken with ‘Parbhani Tejas’ variety of chilli. This Solanaceous vegetable was cultivated in order to observe the vegetative growth parameters like height of plant, spread of plant during monsoon and summer season of 2000 to 2001 was measured. The vegetable was sprayed with four types of growth hormones and two types of fertilizers and control (water-spray), twice i.e. 25 days and 50 days after transplanting. Results regarding this clearly showed that in monsoon season-Chilli plant foliage spread with NAA, CCC, GA urea showed significantly more ascorbic acid content in green Chilli fruits than other treatments. The lowest ascorbic acid content was recorded 197.67 mg./100g. in green matured Chilli fruits of ether treatments followed by control and SSP, respectively.
