The global human population has exceeded 7.7 billion and continues to grow steadily. This increase demands a corresponding rise in food production nutritional resources. Over time, the temperatures caused by climate change affected both energy consumption water availability. To address these challenges, development of eco-friendly farming methods is crucial for sustainable production. One effective method soil mulching, which involves covering with materials like straw or plastic. Black...

Wheat is one of the most important crop among prime cereals at global level. In present investigation, twenty-four bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes were evaluated to estimate extent genetic diversity. Analysis variance revealed that possess significant variability all traits p < 00.1. It was also observed HPW 447 had recorded highest value 35.16 (q/ha) whereas, HPW446 exhibited lowest (23.78 q/ha) for yield. A positive correlation yield and biological traits. On contrary, days...

Thirty genotypes of Maize which included twenty eight inbred lines and two checks maintained at D(K)ARS, SKUAST-K were used for the study carried out in Department Crop Physiology, University Agricultural Sciences, GKVK Bangalore. In this programme genetic variability Epicuticular Wax Content (EWC) was studied. The data experiment revealed a significant epicuticular waxes among germplasm maize. Accordingly, EWC ranged from 1.56 (KDM-921A) µg/cm2 to 7.54 (KDM-954) with mean 4.25 µg/cm2.The...

Abstract In the present study, an effective secondary selection of transgressive variants from a homozygous population Pusa Sugandh 3 (PS3) has led to development basmati variant SKUA 494. 494 exhibited grain yield (7.9 t/ha) with superiority 21.5% over its progenitor (6.5 t/ha). Besides, genotype revealed earliness about 13 and 15 days for flowering maturity, respectively. Hulling, milling head rice recovery traits were comparatively better controls PS3 Basmati 1509. No significant...
