Cover crops are the plants which grown to improve soil fertility, prevent erosion, enrichment and protection of soil, enhance nutrient water availability, quality soil. provide several benefits soils used for agriculture production. helpful in increasing sustaining microbial biodiversity soils. We summarized effect cover properties such as moisture content, activities, carbon sequestration, nitrate leaching, water, health. Selection usually depends on primary provided by crops. Other factors...

Crop cultivation is crucial for the existence of human beings, as it fulfills our nutritional requirements. Crops and other plants are always at a high risk being attacked by phytopathogens, especially pathogenic fungi. Although have well-developed defense system, can be compromised during pathogen attack. Chitinases enhance plant’s system they act on chitin, major component cell wall fungi, render fungi inactive without any negative impact plants. Along with strengthening plant mechanisms,...

The present study is a trail to integrate the phycoremediation and bioenergy production from microalgal species cultivated in dairy wastewater. Higher biomass productivities for Chlorella pyrenoidosa (24.44±8.02 mg L-1d-1), Anabaena ambigua (23.64±5.69 L-1d-1) Scenedesmus abundans (18.72±2.06 were recorded 3:1 wastewater (DWW) over control. have effectively reduced BOD by 56%, COD 77%, nitrate 88% phosphate 85% following 25 days of cultivation DWW. total lipid content was 10.36%, 13.13%...

Several commercial softwares are available for plant leaf area measurement.But no freeware is calculation.This study proposed a calculating the area.It was hypothesized that if error between calculated and actual low then it could be used agronomical, physiological as well other researches.Leaves of Brassica species, turmeric, soybean wheat with different size shape were selected study.The platform image processing calculation DOTNET framework at front end SQL server back end.A digital...

Cluster frontline demonstrations, which involve showcase the performance of improved production technologies field crops in comparison to farmers’ practices, is one ventures taken up by Government India. In this regard, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Budh Singh Wala, Moga, Punjab conducted demonstrations oilseeds during 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23. Out all farmers where were laid down, 15 farmer locations randomly selected collect data for statistical analysis was performed randomized...

Prevalence of puddle transplanted rice (PTR) in the Indo-Gangetic plains not only poses threat to soil structure, increased water requirement, dependence on farm labour but also increases cost cultivation comparison direct seeded (DSR). At same time, burning residue followed by wheat crop gives rise ecological and sustainability challenges intensive agriculture production system. Current experiment was conducted PAU Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Budh Singh Wala, district Moga adopted village under...

The continuous application of nitrogen (N) through chemical source has shown deleterious effect on productivity turmeric, whereas availability organic is very limited to meet the requirement. Therefore it was considered worth study impact integration and N turmeric. A three-year field experiment conducted at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, during 2011–12 2013–14 response turmeric straw mulching applied different combinations manure (FYM) N-fertilizer (urea). Application paddy as...

A total of 800 urban Punjabi female youth aged 19-24 years in Amritsar city, Punjab were measured for blood pressure, height, weight, waist and hip circumferences. Mean arterial pressure (MBP), body mass index (BMI) ratio (WHR) also calculated through standard equation. The present results bring out (i) a systematic indicator linear effect strong positive correlation age other anthropometric variables with pressures, (ii) the trend systolic diastolic pressures among city North India.

A field investigation was carried out to characterize the growth and development of Bt cotton hybrids by detopping use plant retardants during rainy (kharif) season 2011 2012. The experimental site had loamy sand soils with normal in reaction. experiment (split plot) involved three (MRC 7017, MRC 7031 RCH 314) main plots regulation treatments (Mepiquat chloride (MC) @ 300 ppm, 2, 3, 5-tri iodo benzoic acid (TIBA) 100 ppm Maelic hydrazide (MH) 250 ppm) sub four replications. Hybrid 7017...
