TL;DR: Application of various organic sources resulted in 16–103 per cent rhizome yield over control and also improved the quality parameters and organic manuring not only produced the highest and sustainable crop yields but alsoImproved the soil fertility and productivity.
Abstract: Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of various organic manures on yield and quality parameters of turmeric and their effect on residual soil fertility. The results showed that significantly higher rhizome yield was recorded with the application of FYM @ 18 t/ha which was statistically at par with 10 t/ha poultry manure. Application of various organic sources resulted in 16–103 per cent highe rhlzome yield over control and also improved the quality parameters. Organic manuring not only produced the highest and sustainable crop yields but also improved the soil fertility and productivity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that characters viz., minimum days to first fruit picking, more number of fruits/plant, average fruit weight, fruit size, plant height, number of primary branches/plant and extended harvest duration should be given priority over other traits for selecting high yielding genotypes.
Abstract: Thirty five genotype of tomato were subjected to study the genetic components such as variability, correlation and path coefficient analysis for growth, yield and quality attributes. Significant differences among the genotypes were observed for all the traits under study. The high values of genotypic coefficient of variability and heritability estimates associated with greater values of genetic gain were observed for juice - pulp ratio, fruit yield/plant, number of primary branches/plant, number of fruits/plant, average fruit weight, and titrable acidity. Correlation studies revealed that the economically important trait fruit yield/plant exhibited high positive significant correlation with fruit size, plant height, number of fruits/plant and number of primary branches/plant at both phenotypic as well as genotypic levels. The path co-efficient analysis revealed that days to first picking had highest positive direct effect on fruit yield followed by harvest duration, number of fruits/plant, average fruit weight, plant height and number of flowers/cluster. It is suggested that characters viz., minimum days to first fruit picking, more number of fruits/plant, average fruit weight, fruit size, plant height, number of primary branches/plant and extended harvest duration should be given priority over other traits for selecting high yielding genotypes.

TL;DR: The maximum growth in terms of plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, crowns/plant and total biomass were observed in the treatment consisting of Azotobacter + Azospirillium + 60 kg N ha−1+ 100 ppm GA3, and maximum K content was recorded with 100 ppm BA treatment alone.
Abstract: Field experiment was conducted to study the response of nitrogen fixing bacteria with chemical fertilizers in conjunction with plant bioregulators on growth, yield and nutrient status of strawberry cv. Sweet Charlie. Nitrogen fixing bacteria and bioregulators were observed to exhibit significant effect on the growth characters in strawberry plants. The maximum growth in terms of plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, crowns/plant and total biomass were observed in the treatment consisting of Azotobacter + Azospirillium + 60 kg N ha−1+ 100 ppm GA3. This treatment also contains highest chlorophyll content in leaves. Highest fruit set, yield and optimum fruit quality was recorded in plants inoculated with Azotobacter and Azospirillum along with 60 kg N ha−1 (50% N of the standard dose) and 100 ppm GA3. The plant nutrient status was much influenced by combined use of biofertilizer and bioregulators. Dual inoculation with Azotobactor and Azospirillum along with 60 kg N ha−1 and 100 ppm GA3application resulted in maximum N and Mg content in plant while the maximum Zn content was obtained in dual inoculation along with 90 kg N ha−1 and 100 ppm GA3. However, maximum K content was recorded with 100 ppm BA treatment alone.

TL;DR: Heterosis in okra was studied in a set of 8×8 diallel crosses excluding reciprocals as discussed by the authors, where the parents, F1s and F2s were grown in a randomized block design with 3 replications.
Abstract: Heterosis in okra was studied in a set of 8×8 diallel crosses excluding reciprocals. The parents, F1s and F2s were grown in a randomized block design with 3 replications. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences for all the characters, indicating the presence of genetic variability among the material studied. Heterosis over better parent, standard check and inbreeding depression were calculated for fruit yield/plant, fruits/plant and days to 50% flowering. Heterosis was shown in many crosses for different characters. Four crosses (P 7 × ABY, P 7 × ANK, P 7 × PKT and PKT × ABY) showed maximum heterosis for fruit yield over the standard check, showing the importance of non-additive genes. Therefore, these can be considered as the promising crosses for their exploitation in hybrid production. Two crosses PSN × ABY and HBN × ABY had significant heterosis and inbreeding vigour in F1 and F2 generations for fruit yield/plant and fruits/plant. Such crosses have the potential to throw desirable transgressive segregants in the latter generations which may lead to evolve a high-yielding variety.
