Investigations on the development of conidiomata in Pestalotiopsis rhododendri (Saccardo) Guba were done by using light and Transmission electron microscopes. Light microscopic studies showed the presence of non-ostiolate, pycnidial conidiomata in culture. Acervular conidiomata are produced normally by species of Pestalotiopsis on leaves. The other interesting observation during the study was the ultrastructure of the conidial wall in the coloured cells as well as the basal and apical hyaline cells with the appendages. Pestalotiopsis rhododendri resembles P. uvicola in the development of conidiomata. The first time report of the various stages of development of conidiomata in Pestalotiopsis rhododendri will be useful in fungal systematic studies.Keywords

Organic farming is the form of crop growing that relies on techniques like crop rotation, green compost, manure and biological pest control. This study was an initial attempt to know the status of organic farming in pesticide use predominant 28 districts in 12 Indian states. Doctors, pesticide vendors and agricultural officers of regions were interviewed to study the status of organic farming in the selected areas. Data were collected through pre-tested schedules by trained field investigators. A total of 1577 samples from 290 randomly selected villages were keyed in to Visual Basic front end in MS Access data base. In this study only 3% of the respondents across the country reported that they had practiced organic farming only, whereas 51% of respondents practiced chemical farming and 46% of respondents had taken up both organic and chemical farming. Appropriate research and extension services need to be developed to make available to farmers all the relevant information on organic farming.Keywords

There are myriad innovations that have been part of agricultural transformation in India. This paper discusses various innovations and technological breakthroughs that took place in Indian agriculture during the British period and afterwards. Some of the innovations occurred inadvertently that are believed to have had higher impact on food production and livelihood security. Food security being India's major concern under changing climatic scenario, the reasons for slow down in food grain production in recent past have been looked into with a major emphasis on rice and wheat crops and the possible solutions for overcoming this slow down have been discussed.Keywords
