A Review on Importance of Radioisotopes & Radiotracer Techniques in Agriculture
Abstract: AbstractRadioisotopes and Radiation have various applications in agriculture such as mechanism of photosynthesis, plant protection, nutritional studies of trace elements, plant metabolism, and fertilizer uptake, ions motility of soils and food and plants preservation. Radioisotopes provide us the opportunity to solve the problems which once were difficult in the growth and nutrition of plants and evolution of new species of crop by developing genetic variability. Nuclear scientists and technologists are …

A Study on Germination, Phyto-Chemical Analysis and Anti-Microbial Activity in Vigna Radiata and Trigonella foenum using Homoeopathic Biochemic Drugs Calcarea Phosphorica 6x, Calcarea Flourica 6x and Silicea 6x
Abstract: AbstractThis study evaluates the action of homoeopathic bio-chemic medicines as a supplement in germination. Two seeds (Vigna radiata and Trigonella foenum) was germinated in control, calcarea phosphorica 6x, calcarea flourica 6x and silicea 6x. The radicle length indicated the extent of germination. The quality of germinated seeds was studied by phytochemical and anti-microbial study on aqueous and methanolic extracts. In Vigna radiata, Calcarea flourica 6x (CF) initiate the germination and …

A Study on the Correlation between Yield and Substratum in the Cultivation of Oyster Mushroom
Abstract: AbstractEdible mushrooms are well known for their nutritional and medicinal properties; hence cultivation of mushroom is considered as a profitable business rather than a hobby. The profitability lies in the proper choice of; variety to be cultivated, substrate on which cultivation is made and proper management practices. The present study was focused to evaluate the growth and yield of ‘Pleurotus ostreatus’ on different substrates like paddy straw, Banana leaf, coir …

Influence of Different Mulches on Weed Dynamics and Yield of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Malini) in Chitwan, Nepal
Abstract: AbstractAn experiment was conducted to study the effect of mulching materials on weed dynamics and yield characters of Malini variety of cucumber under drip irrigation condition during Feb to May 2018 in Chitwan district, Nepal. The experiment was laid in one factor Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 4 replications. Four different mulching materials- silver on black polyethylene mulch, black polyethylene mulch, rice straw mulch and rice husk mulch were …

Studies on Character Association and Path Analysis in Slender Grain Rice (Oryza sativaL.) Varieties
Abstract: AbstractField experiment was carried out to determine the degree of association and magnitude of direct and indirect effects between grain yield and yield attributing characters for 18 slender grain rice varieties for six characters. Growth and yield of rice plant is influenced by interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Knowledge on degree of relationship between the traits confirming yield are useful to breeder to choose the traits to give significant …
