Conservation Agriculture Benefits in South Asia: A Management of Tillage, Residue Retention and Crop Rotation
Abstract: AbstractConservation Agriculture (CA) a suit of agriculture technologies based on minimal soil disturbance, permanent organic soil cover, diversified crop rotation and integrated weed management offers a paradigms shift in crop production to sustain yields and have constructive environment friendly foot print. Under agricultural practices, soil involves mechanical disturbance are reduced to minimum or avoided, and external inputs such as organic and inorganic fertilizers, and others agrochemicals are applied optimal and …

Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis of Yield Related and Morphological Traits in Bread Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)
Abstract: AbstractFifty diverse genotypes of bread wheat, were evaluated during rabi season in department of Genetics and Plant Breeding at Janta Vedic College Baraut, Bagpat (U.P.), to study correlation and path coefficient analysis in bread wheat. Path coefficient analysis was carried out using correlation coefficients to establish the inter-relationship and direct and indirect contributions of yield related traits towards grain yield. Number of productive tillers per plant, grain filling index (%), …

Yield Components of Maize and Effect of Nitrogen Level: A Review
Abstract: AbstractA field experiment was done to understand the effect of nitrogen levels on maize poppulation. Most number of days to tasseling (15), silking (16) and maturity (18) were recorded with the presentation of nitrogen at 105 kg ha-1. Higher plant height (102 cm), leaf area plant (1275 cm2 were recorded with application of 105 kg N ha-1 which was statistically similar to 108 and 100 kg N ha-1. Advanced biological …

In vitro Propagation of Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens L.) from Nodal Culture
Abstract: AbstractThe present study was initiated to optimize in vitro propagation protocol from nodal culture of geranium. Three surface sterilization treatments were tested, and treatment three-surface sterilization (treatment of explants with 1.5%(w/v) fungicide (Kocide 101) mixed with one drop of soup solution for 1 min, 70% ethanol for 1 min and with 1% NaClO for 3 min and again with 70% ethanol for 1 min was used throughout the experiment with …

Impact of Plant Diversity in Cereal Aphid Density in Wheat Crops
Abstract: AbstractGrain aphids cause financial damage to wheat crops. In Tamil Nadu, Eriopis connexa is an indigenous ladybird. In the present study, the numerical reaction of E. connexa to changes in aphid thickness on wheat crops with high and low plant differing qualities was examined. The study was completed in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, from September to December 2007 and 2008, on two wheat crops with either a higher plant differing qualities …
