One of the biggest challenges to be addressed in world agriculture is low nitrogen (N) use efficiency (<40%). To address this issue, researchers have repeatedly underlined need for greater emphasis on development and promotion energy efficient, environmentally sound novel fertilizers, addition improved agronomic management augment nutrient restoring soil fertility increasing farm profit. Hence, a fixed plot field experiment was conducted assess economic environmental competency...
Physiological, biochemical, metabolite changes and gene expression analysis of greenhouse tomato (Solanum lycopersicumL.) were investigated in two grafting combinations (self-grafted 'Ikram' grafted onto interspecific hybrid rootstock 'Maxifort'), with without arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM), exposed to 0 25 µM Cd. Tomato plants responded moderate Cd concentration by decreasing yield crop growth parameters due the accumulation leaf tissue, inhibition PS II activity, reduced nutrients...
Grafting of vegetable seedlings is a unique horticultural technology practiced for many years in East Asia to overcome issues associated with intensive cultivation using limited arable land. This was introduced Europe and other countries the late 20th century along improved grafting methods suitable commercial production grafted seedlings. Tomato becoming well-developed practice worldwide advantages. The primary motivation tomato has been prevent damage caused by soilborne pathogens under...
Salinity in soil or water is a serious threat to global agriculture; the expected acreage affected by salinity about 20% of irrigated lands. Improving salt tolerance plants through breeding complex undertaking due number traits involved. Grafting, surgical mean joining scion and rootstock two different genotypes with desired traits, offers an alternative biotechnological approaches tolerance. Grafting can also be used circumvent other biotic abiotic stresses. Increasing tomato (Solanum...
Nowadays, there is a large demand for nutrient-dense fruits to promote nutritional and metabolic human health. The production of commercial fruit crops becoming progressively input-dependent cope with the losses caused by biotic abiotic stresses. A wide variety underutilized crops, which are neither commercially cultivated nor traded on scale, mainly grown, commercialized consumed locally. These have many advantages in terms ease grow, hardiness resilience climate changes compared major...
Salinity stress is a major constraint to sustainable crop production due its adverse impact on growth, physiology, and productivity. As potato the fourth most important staple food crop, enhancing productivity necessary ensure security for ever-increasing population. Identification cultivation of salt-tolerant genotypes are imperative mitigating strategies cope with conditions. For this purpose, fifty-three varieties were screened under control salt conditions growth yield-related traits...
Abstract The growing popularity of nano-fertilization around the world for enhancing yield and nutrient use efficiency has been realized, however its influence on soil microbial structure is not fully understood. purpose carrying out this study was to assess combined effect nano conventional fertilizers biological indicators crop in a wheat–maize system. results indicate that at par grain wheat maize obtained with application 75% recommended nitrogen (N) full dose phosphorus (P) potassium...
Wheat is an important cereal crop constrained by several biotic and abiotic stresses including drought stress. Understating the effect of stress genetic basis tolerance to develop resilient, high-yielding wheat cultivars. In this study, we investigated effects on seedling characteristics in association panel consisting 198 germplasm lines. Our findings revealed that had a detrimental all under investigation with maximum shoot length (50.94% reduction) minimum germination percentage (7.9%...
The present study deals with thermo-catalytic co-pyrolysis of peanut shells (PS) and non-recyclable polyethylene (NRPE) using ZSM-5 at varying ratios (5, 10 15 wt.%). A tubular fixed bed reactor is used to pyrolyse 500 oC, 50 oC min-1 heating rate 100 mL inert gas flow rates. feedstock was characterized via proximate analysis, elemental higher value (HHV), biochemical thermogravimetric analyser (TGA), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) viscosity, density, Gas chromatography-mass...
Fifty wheat genotypes were evaluated at nine diverse locations in India to identify high-yielding and stable genotypes. The analysis of variance based on additive main effects multiplicative interaction (AMMI) indicated significant genotype, environment genotype - (GE) interactions, with a total variation 5.99, 20.23 73.77%, respectively. A biplot-AMMI yield stability index incorporating the AMMI value single non-parametric used discriminate highest yield; G135, G125, G104, G112 G144 found...
Grafting on salt tolerant eggplant rootstocks can be a promising approach for enhancing the salinity tolerance of tomato. In this study, performance tomato cv. Kashi Aman grafted two (IC-111056 and IC-354557) was evaluated against non-grafted control under saline (ECiw 6 9 dS m−1) non-saline ~1 irrigation 2 years. improved plant stress. Moreover, rootstock IC-111056 outperformed IC-354557. An increase in average fruit yield plants compared with at m−1 24.41% 55.84%, respectively 20.25%...
A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the influence of long-term cadmium (Cd) exposure (0, 25, or 50 µ m Cd) on crop productivity, fruit quality, leaf chlorophyll content, fluorescence, and mineral composition in plants tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Ikram), either nongrafted, self-grafted, grafted onto rootstocks (Maxifort Unifort) eggplant (Black Beauty). Both moderate (25 ) high (50 concentration Cd root environment considerably decreased yield number response levels,...
Abstract Soil contamination by heavy metals negatively affects crop productivity, besides representing serious threat to human health. Grafting tomato onto appropriate rootstocks may raise Ni tolerance through limiting metal uptake roots and/or its translocation the shoot and detoxification. A greenhouse experiment was conducted determine influence of long‐term exposure (0, 25, or 50 µM) on fruit quality, leaf chlorophyll content, fluorescence, electrolyte leakage, catalase (CAT), ascorbate...
The assessment of tree biomass and its carbon (C) stock at the local regional level is considered a crucial criterion for understanding impact changing environments on global cycle. In this context, we selected three sites in western Himalayas, covering parts Himachal Pradesh north-eastern Haryana. Each study site experiences distinct climatic conditions, vegetation types, elevations. We seek to elucidate determinants across different forest types Western Himalayas. found that temperate...
Morpho-physiological and biochemical analyses were carried out in eight diverse indigenous muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes exposed to different degrees of water deficit (WD). The ability MM-7, especially MM-6, counteract better the negative effect WD was associated with maintaining higher relative content (RWC), photosynthetic rate, efficiency PSII, pigments compare other genotypes. Furthermore, MM-6 showed a maintain cellular homeostasis than others. It indicated by stimulated...
