Abstract Apple, a major fruit of temperate Himalayas, is sprayed with chemical pesticides around 12 times during the cropping season. Various systemic and contact fungicides are applied for management diseases. In order to manage disease, flusilazole 40 EC frequently used. However, excessive application has been found be detrimental consumer safety. Keeping in view safety, risk assessment, half‐life waiting period were evaluated on Red Velox variety apple. The QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap,...
Investigation of genetic variability and population relationship 50 accessions the apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) was carried out using ISSR markers. The results revealed that number alleles per locus varied from 4 to 8 with a mean value 6.75, effective (Ne) 1.54. Similarly, polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged 0.464 0.424, 0.424. heterozygosity, marker index, resolving power, multiplex ratio (EMR) 0.001 0.002, 0.01–0.06, 1.76–3.84, 1–4.12. dendrogram clustered genotypes into...
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the dissipation pattern, risk assessment, and waiting period of myclobutanil on apple fruit ( Malus domestica Borkh.) under temperate conditions in Kashmir, India. The involved application 10 WP at a single recommended dosage (125 g a.i. ha −1 ) double (250 Red Velox trees, 2 months before harvest. GC equipped with an electron capture detector was used analyze residues samples. revealed that myclobutanil, both doses, dissipated rapidly became...
Mushroom production in India has registered a considerable growth the recent times. However, cultivation of shiitake mushroom, which represents major share at global level, is still primitive stage Indian subcontinent. The scarcity raw materials and cost energy for substrate sterilization are hurdles large-scale production. present study delves into possibility growing mushroom on lignocellulosic biomass (saw dust wheat straw) processed with different heat treatments to develop...
The present investigation was conducted to assess the wilt/root rot incidence in chilli (Capsicum annum) Kashmir and examine management practices. Survey carried out three districts of viz., Ganderbal, Baramullah Pulwama during 2016. Damping-off varied from 7-34 11-52% respectively with maximum disease district Ganderbal minimum Pulwama. pathogens responsible for are Fusarium pallidoroseum, F. oxysporum, solani, Phytophthora capsici, R. solani Sclerotium rolfsii Pythium sp. observed be...
Fusarium wilt (FW) caused by oxysporum f. sp. ciceri is a devastating disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum). To identify promising resistant genotypes and genomic loci for FW resistance, core set 179 was tested reactions at the seedling reproductive stages under field conditions controlled in greenhouse. Our results revealed that stage, most were resistant, whereas susceptible. Genotyping using 50K Axiom®CicerSNP Array trait data together led to identification 26 significant (P ≤ E-05)...
One of the most common dyeing problems textile industries is uneven and faulty over finished quality fabrics due to different reasons. These are usually tackled through chemical degradation in which dye removed from surface fiber but fabric compromised. Chemical process also reduces strength durability material by reduction reactive ability. The cannot be reused reduced strength. To overcome above mentioned problem, biological method stripping enzymes produced micro-organisms used. This has...
Root rot is one of the major problems adversely effecting growth fir (Abies pindrow) seedlings in Kashmir valley and study was conducted to find out cause disease. The disease prevalent all three growing nurseries surveyed with incidence 32.2 29.3 per cent during 2013 2014, respectively. pathogens associated were isolated, morphologically characterized identified as Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. pini, solani, pallidoroseum, Rhizoctonia Sclerotium rolfsii Pythium sp. pini most predominant pathogen...
An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungal (AMF) isolates on various growth parameters and enzymatic activity in maize grown under protected conditions. One hundred eight AMF isolates, collected from apple, pear cherry rhizosphere, were chosen assess their efficiency improving cv. “C6”. The plant height, root biomass, shoot mycorrhizal colonization phosphatase inoculated plants ranged 16.0 27.9 cm, 2.75 4.60 g, 9.37 14.26 17.78 65.15%, 3.59 40.66 m...
Abstract Rice brown spot is an important disease of rice worldwide that inflicts substantial yield losses. The antimicrobial potential methanol, acetone and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) extracts different medicinal plants, viz., Syzygium aromaticum, Saussurea costus, Acorus calamus, Bergenia ciliate, Geranium pratense, Mentha longifolia, Inula racemosa, Podophyllum hexandrum, Heracleum candicans Picrorhiza kurroa , against the pathogen Bipolaris oryzae in vitro was evaluated via mycelial growth...
Alternaria blight of rapeseed-mustard caused by brassicae (Berk) Sacc. is one the important diseases in Jammu division J&K. Survey conducted revealed that maximum disease severity leaves at 75 DAS and 100 was 38.53 49.71 per cent pods 32.72 44.97 cent, respectively, observed District Reasi. However, Samba recorded least with 20.40 32.97 11.30 23.42 pods. Of twenty seven different genotypes screened for their reaction against blight, two viz. RH-8113 PC-5 showed moderate resistance, four...
