The present study deals with the effect of cone collection date on seed and germination characteristics in blue pine (Pinus wallichiana). The first cone collection was done on 15th September, second on 30th September, third on 15th October and fourth on 30th October from Gangotri range of Uttarkashi Forest Division of Garhwal Himalaya. Percentage of viable seeds, per cone increased while percentage of non-viable seeds per cone decreased with the maturity of cone. Mean fresh weight of 100 seeds increased from first to fourth (last) cone collection date. The moisture content of seeds decreased while seed germination increased as cone collection dates progressed. Germination per cent and germination value of seeds steadily increased from cone collection date of 15th September to 30th October. Therefore, the cones should be collected in the last week of October to obtain quality seeds.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted during rainy season (Kharif) of 2012-13 at farmer field of Katihar district adopted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Katihar under Bihar Agriculture University, Sabour, Bhagalpur to study the effect of biofertilizers on growth, yield and economics of rice. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three treatments and ten replications. Rice crop was significantly higher value of plant height, number of tillers, number of grain per panicle, test weight (g), grain and straw yield (qha-1), benefit cost ratio. Maximum grain yield 65 qha-1 was recorded with 150 kg N + 60 kg P2O5 + 40 kg K2O with Azotobactor + PSB @ 5kg ha-1. There was significant improvement in yield attributes and economics of rice due to application of NPK @ 150+60+40+ Azotobactor and PSB 5 kg ha-1.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted at farmer field of Katihar district during two consecutive years of 2012-13 and 2013-14 to study the yield of wheat as influenced by split application of nitrogen. The soil is non-calcareous light gray in colour flood plain belongs to the alluvial gangetic plain (Agro climatic zone II). The study was done in Randomized Block Design with four treatments and ten replications with HD 2733 wheat variety to evaluate the observation regarding growth attributes and yield components of individual plant parameters were recorded from randomly selected plants in each plot. The evaluated traits were plant population (m-2), plant height (cm), bearing tillers plant-1 (no.), non-bearing tillers plant-1 (no.), spikelets spike-1 (no.), fertile spikelets spike-1 (no.) non-fertile spikelets spike-1 (no.), 1000-seed weight (g), seed yield (t ha-1) and straw yield (t ha-1). Results indicated that the use of three split N applications increased all growth and yield attributes. The best N split strategy corresponded to three N splits: at planting, crown ischolar_main initiation (CRI), and panicle initiation (PI) stages.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic manures on germination and growth behaviour of khirni seedlings. The experiment comprised of eight media formulated by mixing soil, sand, FYM, vermicompost, poultry manure, cocopeat and spent mushroom compost in different combinations. The study indicated that seed germination and seedling growth parameters of khirni seeds were greatly influenced by the growing media. The results revealed that the combination of Soil + Sand + FYM proved superior in terms of seed germination, seedling length, number of leaves, ischolar_main length, ischolar_main dry weight, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index-l and II whereas greater shoot length, stem diameter and dry weight of shoots were recorded in the media containing Soil+ Sand+ Vermicompost..Keywords

The present investigation on the storage longevity of passion fruit squash was carried out in the Experimental laboratory of the Department of Pomology and Post Harvest Technology, Faculty of Horticulture, Uttar Banga Krishi Vishwavidyalya, Pundibari, Cooch Behar during 2007-08. Four treatment combinations of both yellow and purple passion fruit squash with different concentrations of sugar and preservatives were evaluated for extending the storage life of squash. In yellow passion fruit squash T3 (6.38 °Brix) and in purple passion fruit squash T4 (8.23 °Brix) were found to have very less percentage change of TSS over initial value after six month of storage. The acidity value among various treatments, T3 for yellow passion fruit squash and T4 for purple passion fruit squash had recorded minimum percentage change in acidity over initial after six month of storage. The ascorbic acid content in different treatments for both yellow and purple passion fruit squash were found to decrease throughout the storage period. Considering mould count after six month of storage, T3 was found best treatment both for yellow and purple passion fruit squash. The effect of KMS was better for suppressing mould growth than sodium benzoate. It was observed that hedonic score for yellow and purple passion fruit squash was decreased with increase in storage period. The yellow passion fruit squash prepared with 250 ml juice + 460 g sugar + 290 ml water + 1 g citric acid + 0.6 g KMS as preservative and the purple passion fruit squash prepared with 250 ml juice + 475 g sugar + 275 ml water + 2.5 g citric acid + 0.75 g sodium benzoate as preservative have been found to be the best treatment for the storage life.Keywords

India is bestowed with a wide range of soil and agro-climatic conditions. Therefore, almost all types of fruit can be grown in one or the other parts of the country. China is the largest producer of fruits followed by India which now accounts for about 10 per cent of world production. Passion fruit belongs to the family Passifloracea, distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. There is need to improve and standardize the nutrient doses by which we increase the production of this fruit. Keeping with these views, the experiment was conducted in the experimental farm, Department of Horticulture, BAU, Ranchi. This experiment consisted of ten treatments including control. The treatments were NPK (300: 150:150 g/vine), NPK (250: 125:125 g/vine), boron 1.2 g/vine, sulphur 24 g/vine, the next four treatments were combination of NPK with boron and sulphur, and two controls. Thus, there were ten treatments, replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. In all the treatments 2 kg of vermicompost and 0.5 kg of lime were applied as basal dose except absolute control. All the treatments exhibited better results over untreated control and absolute control. Highest yield (56.65 q/ha) was obtained by NPK (250: 125:125 g/vine) + boron 1.2 g/vine which was at par with, NPK (300: 150:150 g/vine) + boron 1.2 g/vine (49.15 q/ha) and NPK (250: 125:125 g/vine) + sulphur 24 g/vine (52.48 q/ha). Thus, NPK (250: 125:125 g/ vine ) + boron 1.2 g/vine appeared to be the best treatment in vegetative character, reproductive characters, fruit characters and yield followed by NPK (250:125:125 g/ vine) + sulphur 24 g/vine.
