The present investigation was carried out in the experimental field of Division Fruit Science, Sher-e-Kashmir University Agricultural Sciences and Technology Kashmir, Shalimar, Srinagar during year 2010 to 2011 with a view study various physical changes that occur storage prolong shelf life plum under ambient conditions by preharvest application chemicals. size, weight firmness recorded continuous decrease advancement period. However, 0.5% calcium chloride (CaCl2) proved be more efficacious...
Out of five wild Malus species in the world, baccata (L.) Borkh (MB) is reported from extremely cold areas north western Himalayas. These are widely used as a rootstock or source resistance against various biotic and abiotic stresses due to its ecological adaptability hardiness. The study genetic diversity an important aspect be covered for proper utilization apple germplasm breeding purpose. 29 accessions were divulge their using morpho-molecular markers. Based on morphological characters,...
Due to low opportunities and higher population of landless agricultural laborers as well land labor productivity, poverty is concentrated in drier regions. The traditional subsistence farming systems have changed at present time farmers minute options are preferring grow high value crops particularly vegetables which require intensive use inputs, most importantly life saving irrigations, therefore they face real problems day a serious concern should be given huge importance far living conditions such
Understanding how nutrients accumulate and change throughout the developmental stages according to BBCH scale can be a very effective technique for developing fertilization programmes high-quality, marketable grape production. Accordingly, macro- micronutrient concentrations at different growth were analyzed two commercial cultivars, viz., “Anab-e-Shahi” “Perlette”, by using an extended scale. The results show nitrogen content was reduced during sampling period (D1 D6) from 1.76 percent 1.09...
The study presents the influence of 6-benzayladenine alone and in combination with gibberellic acid on growth lateral branching one-year-old ‘Oregon Spur’ apple nursery trees grafted MM-106 rootstock. Different concentrations BA BA+GA3 (200, 300, 400, 500, 600 700 ppm) were applied three times at one week interval during second vegetative growth. Investigation reveal that Oregon Spur have strong apical dominance plant regulators resulted a significant increase number feathers (0.58 to 6.18...
The Quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) is the only member of genus Cydonia in family Rosaceae. It mostly used for culinary purposes and has great potential processing industry. genotype collections are maintained quince block at ICAR-CITH, Srinagar. Physicochemical attributes play an important role determining nature behavior fruit their response to handling processing. present study was conducted during 2017-18, evaluate ten genotypes physicochemical both quantitatively qualitatively. Our...
Sugar content and pungency are traits of critical importance for onion bulb quality. These were estimated as reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars pyruvic acid in different photoperiod temperature sensitive genotypes grown long day, temperate agroclimate. Reducing varied from 2.26% to 3.79%, 2.97% 4.29% 1.73 11.33 µmol/ g fresh weight. The lowest sugar (2.26%) was found OA-18-09 OC-18-89 about two-third the germplasm (2.28% 2.94%) at par with them. Highest (4.29%) OA-18-27 (3.41% 4.42%)...
Chilli and capsicum being popular in district is grown by all groups of people but due to insufficient knowledge regarding improved varieties management practices, the productivity quality facing a barrier reach its maximum. Moreover, selection variety most suited for locality an immediate need hour. In present study, various growth yield characteristics promising lines developed ICAR-CITH, Srinagar were studied comparison with local used farmers kept as check. Eleven locations several...
Apricot is a stone fruit of the family Rosaceae (order Rosales), closely related to peaches, almonds, plums, and cherries. Apricots are cultivated throughout temperate regions world. In present study, 17 apricot genotypes were characterized for 32 morphological traits with respect distinctiveness; uniformity stability (DUS) test guidelines. The results displayed high level variability among all genotypes. characteristics such as size, shape, volume, flesh skin color which determines quality...
