Production Potential and Economics of Different Crops under Varying Physiographic Conditions in Damodar Command Area (Part), West Bengal, India
Abstract: Rice-rice cropping system is the predominant cropping pattern in the majority of Damodar command area, West Bengal. However optimized utilization of resources towards enhanced overall crop productivity as well as economic return and at the same time maintenance soil quality, crop diversity is important. Present study evaluates the on-field crop suitability and economic viability of vegetables (potato, chilli), oilseed (mustard, sesame) and pulses (black gram) towards formulation of alternate rice …

Analysis of Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variance, Heritability and Genetic Advance Estimates in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Abstract: The present investigation was conducted to estimate the genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV). It was revealed that PCV was higher than GCV. This result indicated less effect of environment on the expression of character studies. High amount of genotypic and phenotypic variation was observed for the characters such as biological yield per plant, Harvest index, number of grain per ear and productive tillers per …

Seasonal Variation in the Phytochemical Constituents of Two Ajuga Species
Abstract: Medicinal plants are the natural repositories of secondary metabolites that can be used for therapeutic purposes. The content of these secondary metabolites or phytochemical constituents varies at different growing seasons of the plants. The phytochemical constituents of Ajuga bracteosa and Ajuga parviflora varied significantly in their proportion at different stages of development and among different populations. The content of phenols and flavonoids was found to be maximum at the flowering …

A Review Report on Insect-Resistant Crops
Abstract: In this article, a review report on insect-resistant crops is presented. In practical agricultural terms, an insect-resistant crop cultivar is one that yields more than a vulnerable cultivar when confronted with insect pest invasion. This paper also describes the effect of insect pest-plant host relationship and advantages to the use of insect-resistant crop varieties. Growing of these crops in developing countries by small farmers is of great significance not only …
