Efficient and Economical Weed Management in Summer Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
Abstract: AbstractA field experiment was conducted during summer seasons 2010 to 2012 at Junagadh (Gujarat) to study the integrated weed management in sesame. Pendimethalin as pre-emergence, while imazethapyr and quizalofop-ethyl as post-emergence were tested alone and in integration with hand weeding and interculturing. The results revealed that quizalofop-ethyl 40 g ha-1 as post-emergence (20–25 DAS) + HW & IC (45 DAS) and pendimethalin 450 g ha-1 as pre-emergence + HW & …

Micro Irrigation in Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) Under South Saurashtra Agro-climatic Conditions
Abstract: AbstractA field experiment was conducted during 2008 to 2010 at Junagadh to evaluate methods (drip, mini sprinkler and flood irrigation) and levels of irrigation (0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 PEF) in coriander. The results revealed that mini sprinkler and drip irrigation significantly improved growth and yield attributes viz., plant height, branches/plant, umbels/plant and test weight and thereby increased seed and stalk yields along with higher net returns, B:C and water use …

Heterosis in Blackgram - History and Future Thrust
Abstract: AbstractHeterosis is the increase in vigor that is observed in progenies of matings of diverse individuals from different species, isolated populations or selected strains within species or populations. Heterosis has been of immense economic value in agriculture and has important implications regarding the fitness and fecundity of individuals in natural populations. Considering mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek), a pulse crop which is self-pollinated, little work has been done on heterosis. …
