The presence of strong G x E (genotype by environment interaction) is a major hurdle for selecting superior genotypes when are placed into new and unfamiliar production systems. Genotype or cultivar (s) with high yield potential having less adaptability stability to particular never suitable choice breeder farmer particularly. Purposefully, four successive seasons were chosen enumerate the phenotypic 27 French bean quality traits involving modern statistical tools like AMMI (Additive Main...
Understanding changes in carbon (C) fluxes resulting from land-use change patterns is essential for formulating effective climate mitigation strategies. This study conducted at two different locations focuses on the dynamics of sequestration guava orchards as a function tree age, type that increasingly prevalent agricultural regions. Through comprehensive sampling agro-climatic zones, content stored biomass, litter, weeds and soil layers was assessed, evaluation which provided insights into...
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of foliar application homobrassinolide (HBL), gibberellic acid (GA3), and naphthalene acetic (NAA) for improving fruit set, yield, quality in sugar apple. Methodology: The experiment was laid out a randomized block design with 10 treatments, comprised NAA (50, 100, 150 ppm), HBL (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 GA3 (100, 150, 200 water as control. Treatments were sprayed thrice during major flowering period at monthly interval, i.e., April, May, June. Observations recorded on...
A field investigation was carried out on fifteen-year-old mango cv. Banganpalli during 2021-2023 in the coastal region of India at research farm ICAR-IIHR-Central Horticultural Experiment Station, Bhubaneswar, Odisha to evaluate efficacy some plant growth regulators, namely naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), gibberellic (GA3) and triacontanol (TRIA) for improving fruit retention, yield quality harvest. The experiment laid randomized block design with 10 treatments consisting NAA (10, 20 30 ppm),...
Foliar application of plant growth regulators (PGRs) is one tactic for nourishment which directly enhances nutrient uptake, leading to a more balanced supply and improved accumulation in ultimately improving quality yield. The current research covers see the response biochemical phytochemical parameters sapota cv. DHS-1; pre-harvest spray PGR i.e. naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (50 100 ppm), 2-chloro-4-pyridyl) N'-phenyl urea (5 7.5 salicylic (SA) (150 300 ppm) homo brassinolide (10 15 ppm);...
Commercial interest in the culinary herb, Eryngium foetidum L., has increased worldwide due to its typical pungency, similar coriander or cilantro, with immense pharmaceutical components. The molecular delimitation and taxonomic classification of this lesser-known medicinal plant are restricted conventional phenotyping DNA-based marker evaluation, which hinders accurate identification, genetic conservation, safe utilization. This study focused on species discrimination using DNA sequencing...
The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), is a polyphagous non-native pest identified as serious threat to crop production and food security globally, including in India. Its unintentional introduction quick coverage large areas concern millions of farmers the eastern Himalayan region. However, detailed understanding farmers’ perceptions biological attributes associated with meteorological factors for FAW limited. present investigation, which aimed create baseline data on...
Worldwide prevalent malnourishment associated with human health could be improved by biofortification of climate-resilient vegetable crops through breeding strategies. Nutritional diversity lablab bean accessions evaluated for nutritional composition and association among the traits. A core set 54 cultivated collected from different locations Eastern ghats scored 10 traits which ranged as protein (0.81–5.92 g/100 g), vitamin C (2.49–7.87 mg/100 phenol (0.84–3.17 mg/g), calcium (3.45–39.51...
Abstract Eggplant or aubergine ( Solanum melongena L.) and its wild cousins, comprising 13 clades with 1500 species, have an unprecedented demand across the globe. Cultivated eggplant has a narrow molecular diversity that hinders breeding advancements. Wild eggplants need resurgent attention to broaden resources. In this study, we emphasized phenotypic genotypic discriminations among species deploying chloroplast–plastid Kim matK ) nuclear ITS2 short gene sequences (400–800 bp) at DNA...
Abstract Spiny coriander ( Eryngium foetidum L.) is a perennial medicinal herb grown in the tropical regions worldwide. In India, it used as potential spice for garnishing and flavoring dishes treating several ailments. spp. found coastal Odisha, India has strong aroma similar to seasonal Coriandrum . The volatile flavor constituents of unique plants were analyzed through headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) using capillary gas chromatography (GC) chromatography-tandem mass...
The localization of cuticular wax (CW) on the leaf epidermis and its interaction with physiological mechanisms three edible aroids, Alocasia, Colocasia, Xanthosoma, were assessed. CW in tissues was visualized using scanning electron microscopy, which higher Colocasia (10.61 mg·dm−2) Xanthosoma (11.36 than Alocasia (1.36 mg·dm−2). exhibited superhydrophobic properties a static contact angle (CA) (>150°) (99.0°) (128.7°). resulted better chlorophyll stability, moisture retention ability,...
A study was conducted to assess the effect of three different sources nutrients on soil fertility status in an adult arecanut (Areca catechu L.) plantation at Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Centre, Guwahati, during 2008-09 and 2010-2011 comparison with planting time. The results revealed that available nitrogen content highest (332.6 242.3 kg/ha 0-30 30-60 cm depth, respectively) applied vermicompost, whereas soils chemical fertilizer recorded maximum P K content. However,...
The North-Eastern part of India contains seven states out which, Assam is the major producer arecanut. An attempt was made to study impact arecanut based multiple cropping system with proper utilization recyclable resources on long-term sustainability acid soil at Kahikuchi. A long term High-Density Multispecies Cropping System garden comprised two models viz., Model-1 (M1): (Areca catechu), black pepper (Piper nigrum), banana (Musa spp.), citrus (Citrus limon) and clove (Syzygium...
Background: Extreme phenotypes carried on by transgressive segregation are, moreover, heritably stable in contrast to heterosis. It has been hypothesized that the development of extreme or “transgressive” traits segregating hybrid populations assists adaptive divergence taxa. The investigation French bean was experimented evaluate segregants generated F2 generation for yield and related traits. Methods: present study conducted during rabi 2019 2022 elicit data produced generation. Fertile F1...
