Finger millet, an orphan crop, possesses immense potential in mitigating climate change and could offer threefold security terms of food, fodder, nutrition. It is mostly cultivated as a subsistence crop the marginal areas plains hills. Considering changes inclusive recurrent weather vagaries witnessed every year, it crucial to select stable, high-yielding, area-specific, finger millet cultivars. Sixty varieties released across country were evaluated over six consecutive rainy seasons from...
Introduction Banded sheath blight (Bsb), caused by Rhizoctonia solani , is an emerging threat to proso millet cultivation, significantly impacting yield and grain quality. This study on the pathogenomics of R. seeks unravel its genetic mechanisms, identify key virulence factors, decode host-pathogen interactions, pinpoint molecular targets for effective control strategies. Methods isolates were collected from various regions across India, resulting in six distinct isolates. These...
A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh during rainy seasons of 2015 and 2016 to find out the best chemical weed management practices in maize (Zea mays L.). Twelve treatments were tested randomized block design with three replications. Treatments consisted pre-emergence (PE) post-emergence (PoE) herbicides applications along free check weedy check. Experimental results indicated that PoE tank mix formulation tembotrione 50 g/ha +...
Introduction Banded sheath blight (Bsb) disease, caused by Rhizoctonia solani , is an emerging problem in barnyard millet cultivation. One of the significant goals pathogenomic research to identify genes responsible for pathogenicity fungus. Methods A virulence profiling-based approach was employed and six R. isolates were collected from various ecological zones India. The morphological parameters all investigated. most virulent strain designated as RAP2 its genome has been sequenced,...
Thirty blast resistant lines of finger millet were evaluated in a field study to assess the magnitude genetic variability, heritability and advance for yield quality attributing traits. The analysis variance revealed that there significant differences among entries all traits studied. parameters moderate high variability coupled with as per cent mean agronomic viz., days 50% flowering, maturity, fingers ear head, width, test weight, productive tillers plant like calcium content, iron zinc...
Integrated nutrient management is an approach for of plant nutrients maintaining and enhancing soil health, where both natural man made sources are used. A field experiment was conducted in little millet during Kharif 2015 at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram, laid out split plot design to evaluate the effect integrated use three types organic manures combination with levels inorganic fertilizers (NPK) two varieties (Peddasamaand OLM 203) as main plots 11 combinations sub plots....
The field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram against finger millet blast caused by Pyricularia grisea using different fungicides. per cent disease intensity of leaf ranged from 1.7 to 3.3, neck 7.7 80 and 7.0 80. Among all the treatments T6 ie., propiconazole proved be best with least incidence (1.7), (7.7) (7.0) also recorded highest grain fodder yield. Treatments Tebuconazole+ Trifloxystrobin, Tricyclazole, Tricyclazole+ Mancozeb, Isprothiolane,...
Field experiments were conducted in finger millet for two consecutive kharif seasons viz., 2015 and 2016 at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh with an objective to reschedule the fertilizer doses of based on Soil Test Crop Response (STCR) targeted yield approach. The experiment was laid out Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) three replications. experimental results revealed that growth characters, contributing grain straw yields soil available nutrients recorded...
Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.], sub-species coracana, belongs to the family poaceae. Among several production constraints, blast (neck and finger blast) caused by fungus Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) affects different aerial parts of plant at all growth stages. The 360 F4, F5 F6 RILs derived from cross PR 202 × GPU 48 were screened for disease incidence. Analysis variance revealed highly significant mean squares attributable ‘RILs’ ‘check varieties’ both neck incidence among...
A field experiment was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram, during Kharif, 2016 under rainfed conditions to know the fertilizer responsiveness of promising finger millet varieties graded doses NPK fertilizers. Twenty treatment combinations were tested in split- plot design with three replications. Experimental results revealed that 125% RDF grain yield increase 10%, 27% and 48% higher than 100% RDF, 75% 50% respectively. Among genotypes, VL-379(2037 kg/ha) VL-352(1989...
Kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) genotypes were evaluated at Agricultural Research Station, Vizianagaram to assess genetic variability, heritability and advance for six yield contributing traits. The ANOVA revealed significant differences among eighteen all the characters included under study except plant height, number of productive tillers per fodder yield. Moderate PCV was recorded followed by grain height whereas GCV low compared indicating interaction with environment. High days...
Blast pathogen, Magnaporthe spp., that infects ancient millet crops such pearl millet, finger foxtail barnyard and rice was isolated from different locations of blast hotspots in India using single spore isolation technique 136 pure isolates were established. Numerous growth characteristics captured via morphogenesis analysis. Among the 10 investigated virulent genes, we could amplify MPS1 (TTK Protein Kinase) Mlc (Myosin Regulatory Light Chain edc4) majority tested isolates, regardless crop...
Abstract The rewilding of modern agriculture is challenged by our current uncertainties on the microbiome major crop wild progenitors (CWPs). Here, we conducted first global standardised field survey to investigate edaphoclimatic conditions and soil 125 populations associated with 10 most important CWPs at their centres origin. clustered into four ecoregions, ranging from deserts tropical seasonal forests savannas, shaped two dimensions that distinguished areas high sand contents scarce...
Abstract Blast disease causes significant damage to millets (pearl millet, finger millet and foxtail millet) rice in India. This study investigates strains of Pyricularia , the causal agent blast disease, India terms their diversity, host preferences phylogeny. One hundred thirty‐six isolates causing were collected from 46 locations They displayed morphological diversity irrespective or location. All separated into two major clusters by a multilocus sequence‐based phylogenetic tree, which...
A study of phenotypic stability 30 finger millet genotypes was conducted to assess genotype-environment interaction (GEI) and identify stable ( Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn. subsp. ) for grain yield across four diverse locations in India. Genotypes, environments main effects GEI were significant at P < 0.01. Different measures identified different wide adaptable genotypes. The parameters Wi 2 , σi Si (1) (2) TNEC 1234, GPU 67, KMR 344, DHFMV 10-2-1, 92 VL 352 as genotypes, similarly ASV PPR...
