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...
Evaluating genetically superior genotypes is essential for developing new hybrid varieties. This study aimed to assess the genetic diversity of 28 edible-podded pea by analyzing phenological traits, vigor, yield, and biochemical traits across two distinct agro-climatic zones in India. Significant variation was observed most with high genotypic phenotypic coefficients variation, heritability, advance, especially traits. Phenological except node at which first flower appeared, exhibited...
Cassava ('Manihot esculenta' Crantz) is the third largest carbohydrate food source in tropical region, after rice and corn. considered as a security crop which can be left ground for extended periods of up to two years, until required. was procured from Department Vegetable Science, Punjab Agricultural University. Starch extracted cassava by peeling, chopping, grinding with water 5 minutes, filtration, decantation drying at 55oC one hour. Percentage starch obtained 25%. Flour prepared...
The intake of diets with higher sodium (Na) and lower potassium (K) has been considered a leading factor for the development hypertension (HTN). Majority junk, processed packaged food have Na contents. To counter effects diet on HTN, identification high K/Na ratio plant-based is needed. Among fruits vegetables, onion could be ideal option since it contains K content. Keeping this in mind, 45 commercially well adapted short day Indian cultivars were evaluated content their to isolate suitable...
The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of chemical mutagen on biological parameters such as seed germination, shoot and root length fix lethal dose (LD50) EMS in short day Indian onion cultivar Bhima Dark Red. Presoaked seeds were treated with different doses (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 % v/v) Ethyl Methane Sulfonate. optimal mutagenic calculated using Probit Analysis based germination percentage which considered useful developing mutagenized population create...
This study assessed eleven elements in 24 edible-podded peas, including sugar snap pea and snow genotypes aiming to identify promising parents for nutraceutical breeding. Elemental concentrations of pods (dry weight basis) were estimated through inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The ranges these varied significantly, highlighting the diverse elemental profiles within genotypes. All exhibited a high genotypic phenotypic coefficient variation along with...
The efforts to comprehend the ideal healthy state have invariably intrigued minds of people which led evolution several treating and healing systems being established across globe. Several folk traditional medicines evolved among various cultures communities that were generally disseminated verbally for example use onion (Allium cepa L.) bulbs. Since antiquity, this bulbous crop is used as a nutraceutical medicinal plant, that’s why, known protective food. Onion one most common vegetables...
The field investigations were conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of vegetable Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana with the objective to standarize agronomic practices for mechical harvesting garden pea. Therefore, effect different traits including time sowing, spacing and sowing method on yield its attributing studied single-harvest experiment was laid out in split-plot design 30 treatments comprising five dates main plots 2 planting methods (flat bed) sown three...
The Indian Context At the risk of being schematic and simplistic one may suggest that mainstream Sociology Social Anthropology in India has been dominated, by large, two approaches: British structural - functionalism Indological approach. functional approach focussed on small scale micro studies social institutions cultural practices with no attempt to relate them historical context. Moreover, preoccupied harmony equilibrium, it ignored issues tensions, resistance struggles. Studies kinship,...
This study conducted at Punjab Agricultural University in the year 2017, was aimed development of value added nutritious convenience food, i.e. cookies from flour blends sorghum, maize and sweet potato. Individual flours these underutilized crops were studied for their chemical, physical functional properties. Blends prepared divided into two lots. In first lot (MF) fixed 10% blend, sorghum (SF) varied 80-40% while potato (SPF) 10-50%. second lot, SF 10%, SPF Cookies each blend evaluated...
