Studies on the Effect of Pruning on Cucumber cv. Malini Grown Under Protected Conditions
TL;DR: Cucumber, being a high value low volume crop, its exploitation on commercial scale in naturally ventilated polyhouse can improve productivity and generate good income to the growers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harvest management in rose-scented geranium (pelargonium sp.) for higher essential oil yield and superior quality under semi-arid tropics
TL;DR: It is suggested that rose-scented geranium can be harvested more frequently on attainment of shoots with 4 fully expanded leaves in order to produce higher essential oil yield with superior quality and higher return.
Dissertation
STUDY OF HETEROSIS, COMBINING ABILITY AND NATURE OF GENE ACTION GOVERNING SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL AND YIELD TRAITS IN WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.)
TL;DR: Yield per plant, biological yield, harvest index, spike length and number of effective tillers per plant showed desirable heterosis and heterobeltiosis in maximum crosses, and AAIW-12 was the best general combiner as it depicted high GCA effect in desirable direction for grain yield and biological yield.

Growing Degree Days during the Late Reproductive Phase Determine Spike Density and Cognate Yield Traits
Muhammad Umer Farooq,Abdus Salam Khan,Iqra Ishaaq,Asim Ali Cheema,Muhammad Shahzad Afzal,Asif Ali,Jianqing Zhu +6 more
TL;DR: Test wheat lines and varieties for variation in total heat unit’s accretion for anthesis and maturity and to understand the manipulating impact of sunlight on spike morphology, grain yield and its cognate traits revealed that earliness can be used as an indirect selection criterion for yield advance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Different Packaging Materials and Storage Conditions on the Seed Quality Parameters of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
TL;DR: The seed quality parameters viz., germination per cent, root length, shoot length, seedling vigour index and seedling dry weight decreased with an advancement of storage period but the electrical conductivity values were increased with advancement in storage period.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
