Effect of organic farming on management of rice brown planthopper

TL;DR: In southern India, brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens takes a heavy toll on rice production and acts as a vector of many diseases, so a cultural method of control was conducted using synthetic fertilizers and biofertilizers.

GENETIC ANALYSIS OF QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS IN AMERICAN COTTON (G. hirsutum L.)

G.O. Faldu
TL;DR: Combining ability analysis over environments revealed importance of additive components for all the characters studied based on genetic variance ratio, and a fairly close association between hybrid performance and their sca effects was observed for most of the traits.
Journal Article

Estimation of heterosis and combining ability for biochemical traits in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.)

TL;DR: The sca effect greater than gca effects that indicates that non addative effect for carotene, vitamin-C, total Sugar and reducing sugars is found and that combining ability and heterobeltiosis in bitter gourd under rainy season, 2013 is estimated.

PERFORMANCE of CARNATION (DIANTHUS CARYOPHYLLUS L.) GENOTYPES for QUALITATIVE and QUANTITATIVE PARAMETERS to ASSESS GENETIC VARIABILITY among

TL;DR: Eight genotypes of Carnation were evaluated for growth, flowering, flower yield, flower quality and vase life parameters to assess spectrum of genetic variability between these characters under NVPH, showing higher genotypic to phenotypic correlation coefficients for most of the characters studied.
Journal Article

Combining ability and heterosis on millable stalk and sugar concentration for bioethanol production across environments in sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.)

TL;DR: Five top ranking hybrids selected for the present investigation revealed the presence of significant differences due to liens, testers and lines x testers x environment effects for all traits suggesting the environmental influence on tester and the interactions.

Salinity induced oxidative stress and antioxidant system in salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive cultivars of rice Oryza sativa L

TL;DR: It is inferred that leaves of salt-tolerant cultivars tend to attain greater capacity to perform reactions of antioxidative pathway under saline conditions to combat salinity-induced oxidative stress.

Microbial properties of soils as affected by cropping and nutrient management practices in several long-term manurial experiments in the semi-arid tropics of India

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of longterm cropping, fertilization, manuring and their integration on microbial community were studied in soil samples from five long-term fertilizer experiments under various rainfed production systems in the semi-arid tropics of India.

Changes in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus levels due to deforestation and cultivation: A case study in Simlipal National Park, India

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that deforestation and cultivation result in statistically significant reduction in organic C, total N and C:N ratios but no significant changes in total and available P levels; C:P and N:P ratios also reduced.

Arsenic-tolerant, arsenite-oxidising bacterial strains in the contaminated soils of West Bengal, India

TL;DR: This study presents the first correlation regarding the presence of the aoxB gene and As(III) oxidation ability in Geobacillus stearothermophilus, and identifies four strains as superior As-oxidisers.

Genetic Variability Studies for Qualitative and Quantitative traits in Popular Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Hybrids of India

TL;DR: The characters viz., number of filled grains per panicle and water uptake exhibited high heritability coupled with high genetic advance indicating that simple selection could be effective for improving these characters.
