Regaining the agricultural potential of sodic soils in Indo-Gangetic plains necessitates development suitable salt tolerant rice varieties to provide an entry for other affordable agronomic and soil manipulation measures. Thus selection high yielding across a range is central. Evaluation breeding lines through on-station on-farm farmers' participatory varietal (FPVS) resulted identification short duration (110-115 days), disease resistant salt-tolerant genotype 'CSR-89IR-8', which was later...
Fusarium wilt in bananas is one of the most devastating diseases that poses a serious threat to banana industry globally. With no effective control measures available date, biological has been explored restrict spread and manage outbreak. We studied potential different Trichoderma spp. management oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4). Expression defense related genes metabolites plants inoculated with Foc TR4 treated sp interactions were also studied. The vitro growth inhibition...
Seaweed extracts have shown profoundly positive effects on crop growth, quality and reproduction in diverse agricultural horticultural crops. can be used to promote the rooting growth of cuttings perennial fruit species like kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa). In this study, were treated with 1, 5, 10 50% solutions G Sap (Gracilaria edulis), K (Kappaphycus alvarezii), AN (Ascophyllum nodosum), EM (Ecklonia maxima), HA (Humic acid) control (water) for 6 h as base dipping. Subsequently,...
A five-year (2001/02–2006/07) field experiment was carried out on acidic clay loam soil classified as Typic Hapludalf with a maize–mustard crop sequence to study the effect of continuous application nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) fertilizers alone in combination lime, farmyard manure (FYM), biofertilizers physical properties, organic carbon (SOC), microbial biomass (SMBC), yields hilly ecosystem Meghalaya. Significant improvement conditions observed under integrated inorganic...
Salt stress caused by sodic soils is an important constraint that impacts the production of crucial solanaceous vegetable crops globally. Halotolerant poly-extremophiles rhizobacteria can inhabit hostile environments like salinity, drought, etc. The present study was aimed to design a halotolerant micro-formulation using highly salt-tolerant bacterial strains previously isolated from rice and wheat rhizosphere in soil. Nine isolates were examined for plant growth-promoting traits biomass pot...
Abstract The aim of this study was to identify stable rice genotypes tolerant a salt stress environment and ideal mega-environments using AMMI (additive main effects multiplicative interaction) stability model analysis. A total 13 three tolerance checks were evaluated across locations (alkaline saline) for the two kharif seasons 2014 2015. Genotype CSR 36 (CHK3) found be most those tested. Genotypes CHK2 (CST 27) IR 87952-1-1-1-2-3-B (G05) stable, with above average yields. check genotype...
<title>Abstract</title> Agroforestry systems play a critical role in enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) stability and mitigating climate change by integrating trees crops to improve fertility sequestration. This study investigates the SOC stability, aggregate dynamics, temperature sensitivity of mineralization across four agroforestry (<italic>Michelia oblonga, Parkia roxburghii, Alnus nepalensis</italic>, <italic>Pinus kesiya</italic>). Tree traits, properties, characteristics were...
Maize is a major crop of the Eastern Himalayan Region (EHR) which faces significant environmental challenges including waterlogging (WL) under changing climate. Through microcosm and field experiments, this study aimed to evaluate phenotypic plasticity adaptive mechanisms maize landraces WL conditions at seedling flowering stages. Based on response coefficient tolerance 14 stage were found be tolerant whereas RCM-12-19, RCM-32-19, RCM-16-19, emerged as both At stage, Root Length ratio (RLR)...
Teasel gourd is an important, indigenous, vegetatively propagated, high-value, underutilized cucurbit vegetable crop grown in South and Southeast Asia. Due to its wider adaptability, it from plains mid-hills. The lacking research, primarily related the extent of genetic diversity region improvement, which further constrained by dioecism. To assess male female populations teasel based on morphological traits microsatellite makers response AgNO3 induce monocliny, seventy genotypes, including...
Abstract Life can’t sustain without water. Sustainable development goal (SDG-6) emphasizes on access of suitable quality water to all. The amount available freshwater earth is very low and declining further. Human health, life environment can be severely affected by the rising scarcity. Desalination most widely adopted method meet global demand. However, adverse environmental impacts existing desalination techniques necessitate quest sustainable methods. Solar distillation used for...
