An investigation was carried out in order to know the influence of NAA, triacontanol and boron viability and vigour level of seed in bitter gourd cv. PUSA VISESH. Resultant seeds were stored in cloth bags under ambient storage condition and seed quality was tested after every month upto end of storage period. Results revealed that NAA 50 ppm recorded highest seed germination and seedling vigour index (83.25% and 1757, respectively). Whereas, boron at 4 ppm recorded higher speed of germination and seedling length (18.23 and 21.16 cm, respectively). Storage study reveled that boron at 4 ppm maintained highest seed viability and vigour quality till the end of twelve months storage period.Keywords

Present investigation was carried out to study the effect of NAA, triacontanol and boron on seed longevity of bitter gourd cv. PUSA VISESH at College of Agriculture, Raichur. Seed obtained from the vine plants imposed with treatment NAA (25 and 50 ppm), triacontanol (0.5 and 1.0 ppm), boron (3.0 and 4.0 ppm) water spray and absolute control were used for foliar application at two to four true leaf stage followed by a interval of 60, 75 and 90 days after sowing in the Seed Technology Field Block, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur. Results revealed that the moisture content increased gradually as storage period increased in all the treatments. Seeds were stored in cloth bags under ambient storage condition and seed quality was tested after every month upto end of storage period (February, 2010 – January, 2011). Boron at 4 ppm maintained lower moisture content of seed (7.07 %, 7.19 % and 9.16 %) after first, third and twelve months after storage, respectively. Similarly boron at 4 ppm recorded highest seed germination (88.50 %, 91.00 % and 85.50 %) and dehydrogenase activity (0.350, 0.431 and 0.359 OD values) at the end of first, third and twelve months after storage, respectively.

This is part two of the paper on conceptual design of an engine valve. The previous paper describes the background and the need of an engine valve for an internal combustion engine. The present state of the engine valve technology and the innovations incorporated in its design has been described. This paper presents the conceptualization of an innovative valve train aiming at lesser number of components, reduction in friction and wear, proper sealing, and trimming down pumping losses. Various geometric designs of valve trains have been detailed and compared. Finally a convolution based poppet valve mechanism, which is free from numerous mechanical elements like camshaft, cam, push rod, rocker arm and rocker bearing has been recommended. Finite element analysis of convoluted spring has been carried out to ascertain safe limits in terms of stresses and achieving desirable valve lift. Magnetorheological fluid and electromagnet are used to vary the valve-lift.Keywords

A field experiment was conducted at Main Agricultural Research Station (MARS), Raichur during 2012-14 to study resource recycling and management from different IFS models in NE Karnataka. Different combination of crops, animals, fishes and birds were examined in form of seven integrated farming systems (IFS) models. Among different IFS models crop+cow+goat+poultry birds+fish (F7) emerged as the best integrated farming system in terms of resource recycling, resource management and nutrient budgeting. The waste material/by products of crops and animals were recycled and used as inputs for other components of integrated farming system. The F7 system (19,122 and 20,623 kg ha-1 during 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively) added highest amount of organic residues in both the years which is closely followed by F5 system (18,368 and 19,614 kg ha-1 during 2012-13 and 2013-14, respectively). Quantity of N, P and K added and nutrient budgeting varied between IFS models.Keywords

Investigations were carried out in Main Agricultural Research Station (MARS), Raichur district of Karnataka during 2012-14 to find out a sustainable mixed farming model which is economically viable by integrating the different components like crops, livestock, poultry, rabbits and fish on a 2.5 acre land holding. Seven integrated farming system models were developed to find out the best package on the land holding of 2.5 acre suitable for the North-East Karnataka region. Among various IFS models, F7 model registered highest net returns (Rs. 1,89,069 ha/year) and least observed in conventional cotton alone (F1) system (Rs. 74,592 ha/year). The similar trend was observed in return per day, diversity index and employment generation (Rs. 518/day, 2.92 and 206 mandays/ha/year).Keywords

This study characterizes existing farming systems adopted by small and marginal farmers in Raichur district of North-East Karnataka (16° 12' N latitude and 77° 20' E longitude at an altitude of 389 m above the mean sea level). A rapid rural appraisal was conducted via informal discussions with 125 randomly selected farmers (25 farmers each from Raichur, Manvi, Sindhnur, Lingusugur and Devdurga talukas of Raichur district) using a pre-tested, structured questionnaire. Farming was the main income-generating source for the majority of households in the area. This study distinguished farms based on various farm enterprises adopted in their respective farms viz., crop based, dairy based, small ruminants (goat/sheep) based, vegetable based, agro-forestry based, horticulture based etc. Paddy, cotton, maize, ground nut, vegetables, cattle, sheep/goat and poultry farming were the major farming activities that were undertaken by the farmers. Socio-economic status of most of farmers is determined by farming system adopted in their farm. Proper integration among crop-livestock farming activities could be suggested as a better solution to enhance long term sustainability as well as farmers’ living standards by improving farm production. Among 125 farmers selected for characterization 98.4 per cent of the farmers adopted crop based farming system.Keywords
