Comparative effects of drip and micro sprinkler systems under kinnow + kinnow and kinnow + poplar silvi- horti system were studied under sub tropical climate. Drip system of irrigation was found promising in maintaining better growth of kinnow plants. Kinnow + Poplar system of plantation was found superior over kinnow + kinnow system of plantation under drip irrigation system. Under this system (kinnow + poplar) of plantation, values of plant height at 70% ETC were 2.55 m, canopy volume 23.51 m3, ischolar_mainstock girth 11.13 cm, scion girth 10.76 cm, and leaf area were 16.07 cm2. Of course, values for all these traits were higher at 100 % ETc under kinnow + kinnow system of plantation over kinnow + poplar system of plantation under drip system but these were at par with each other. Irrigation of kinnow orchards at 100 % ETc was found better irrespective of the systems of irrigation.Keywords

Maturity has important implications in harvesting fruits at proper stage so as to have developed proper marketing as well as quality attributes. Immature fruits are more prone to shrivelling and mechanical damage and develop inferior flavour when ripe. Overripe fruits tend to become soft with more susceptible to postharvest physiological disorders than fruits picked at the proper maturity. Thus, for all kinds of fruits, harvest maturity is important Different fruits manifest different signals at the time of maturity. A phasic variation is noted in shape, size, colour, flavour, TSS, acidity, ascorbic acid, polyphenol, tannin, enzyme activity, nutrient composituion, etc. as the fruit approaches harvest maturity Of course, growers perception works well in judging maturity. Actually, a fruit is considered worth harvesting when it attains proper stage of maturity in terms of physical and biochemical parameth quality.Keywords

By and large, the seeds collected from the dry deciduous forests of the 'Malwa' plateau region were medium to large in shape and mostly brown in colour. The majority of seeds manifested recalcitrant nature. Ripening of the seeds was mostly during summer months.Keywords

In present paper it has been strived to deal all nutraceutical attributes of 'aonla' rendering it suitable for processing besides delineating scope for development of beverages there from. 'Aonla' had been under use for preparation of conventional processed products such as preserve, 'chyavanprash', candy, dehydrated shreds, pickle, etc. Being rich source of vitamin C and poly phenols, aonla has strong antioxidant activity and therefore getting popular in recent years as nutraceutical food. But the harsh processing treatments involved may sometimes cause significant loss in its nutritive and pharmacological properties. Hence, alternatively aonla is put to use in the development of juice and beverages. Since it is highly acidic and astringent in taste it has to be mixed with other fruit juices such as lime, ginger, etc. for preparation of RTS, squash and syrups. Similarly, aonla juice could be utilized to mix with other fruit juices for development of vitamin C rich fruit juice based beverages.Keywords

The potential of fruit trees to sequester carbon and thereby provide an environmental service remains unexploited. Although not fully understood, CO2 fixation in fruit orchards is probably higher in comparison to fixation in annual herbaceous crops. The present study was conducted in Jhalawar district of Rajasthan State, western India. A total of 7 trees were harvested to assess the biomass and carbon content in various parts of Citrus reticulata, and derive the allometric biomass equation for future research. The mean aboveground biomass was 10.05±0.03 Kg tree-1. The average aboveground allocation of biomass was nearly 76% and belowground biomass was 24%. The maximum carbon was stored by fruit biomass (2.10 Kg tree-1) followed by ischolar_mains (1.42 Kg tree-1) and branches (1.11 Kg tree-1). Total carbon stored by 6 yr old C. reticulata plantation was 5.94 Kg tree-1 and 1.65 t C ha-1. A total of four biomass models were studied for developing a reliable equation for biomass estimation. All four models were found to be statistically significant (Ftest, P < 0.01) for all the aboveground and belowground plant parts, along with total biomass. Models with diameter as the only independent variable had less bias percentage (bias%) and percentage ischolar_main mean square error (RMSE%) values than the models with diameter and height as the independent variables.Keywords
