The wide spread cultivation of acridity free and high yielding cultivars of elephant foot yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius Dennst.) has led to severe problem of leaf blight disease, throughout the country. The difficulty to control with chemical means after its outbreak, particularly in rainy season, leaves us with the only option to use resistant cultivars. Therefore, in order to find resistant sources in the available germplasm, an experiment was conducted at the Main Experiment Station of the Department of Vegetable Science, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad, UP, during 2005-06 and 2006-07. Altogether, 49 genotypes of elephant foot yam, collected from different parts of the country, were screened against Phytophthora leaf blight, caused by Phytophthora colocasiae Racib., under artificial epiphytotic conditions. The per cent disease intensity (PDI) was recorded following the 0-5 scale, as suggested by Chester (1950), and the Area Under Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) was also calculated. The results thus obtained indicated that none of the genotypes was found in resistant category. Out of the 49 genotypes tested, 9 genotypes namely, NDA-3, NDA-12, NDA-13, NDA-21, NDA-25, NDA-26, NDA-29, NDA-30, and NDA-45, showed moderate susceptibility.Keywords

Elephant foot yam is a long duration crop, taking about 7-8 months to realise its full yield potential. This is the reason it requires a nutrient management package which can supply nutrients for longer duration till the maturity of the crop, which is only possible through the incorporation of organic sources of nutrients to the soil. The present experiment, therefore, was conducted at the Main Experiment Station of the Department of Vegetable Science, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad, UP, during 2006-07 and 2007-08, with the aim to formulate an integrated package of nutrient management involving both inorganic as well as organic sources of nutrients for elephant foot yam under eastern Uttar Pradesh conditions. Ten treatments, using NDA-9 as the experimental material were tested viz., T0 : Absolute control (no fertilizer), T1 : 100:60:80 kg NPK/ha, T2 : T1 + 50 kg N/ha substituted through FYM, T3 : T1 + 50 kg N/ha substituted through vermicompost, T4 : 125:60:100 kg NPK/ha, T5 : T4 + 50 kg N/ha substituted through FYM, T6 : T4 + 50 kg N/ha substituted through vermicompost, T7 : 150:60:120 kg NPK/ha, T8 : T7 + 50 kg N/ha substituted through FYM and T9 : T7 + 50 kg N/ha substituted through vermicompost. On the basis of both the year's data, it was found that the application of 150:60:120 kg NPK/ha + 50 kg N substituted through FYM (T8) proved to be the best, which resulted in the maximum canopy spread (77.00 cm), maximum corm weight per plant (2.64 kg) as well as total corm yield (44.24 q/ ha). It was established that continued crop production potential of soils has a direct relationship to its organic fraction of the soil, and therefore, organic sources of nutrients, in any form, either alone or in combination, may be advocated for use, at least for elephant foot yam.Keywords

Chilli (Capscicum annuum L.) is most widely used and universal spice of India. The study was conducted in Akola district in greenhouse and open condition. Total 120 farmers were selected randomly as sample size. Economic analysis of data indicated that cost C at overall level was found to Rs. 1,25,260. Net returns over cost C was Rs. 2,73,388 and input-output ratio at cost C was 3.11.Keywords

It is believed that, with the increase in arrivals of agricultural commodity in the market, their prices come down and vice versa. For this study, the data on arrivals and prices was under taken up. For the study, the data available in monthly reports of Agricultural Produce Committee Ahmadabad market, for the period of 10 years was used, the annual compound growth rate of arrivals in case of onion (15.37) were found positive and annual compound growth rates of prices in the onion (19.48 %) were positive growth rate indicating thereby positive relationship in Arrivals and prices per annually. Seasonal indices of arrivals and prices of onion was that, arrivals were noticed highest during the month of December (16.98) followed by April and February. It means that the market was flooded with onion from December to April. The lowest indices of arrivals were noticed in the month of October (5.25). The indices of lower arrivals were from May to October. In case of price indices was noticed highest in the month of November (13.39). The higher prices indices were noticed during August to January. While lowest in May (4.07) followed by April and June.Keywords

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is most widely used and universal vegetable of India. The study was conducted in Pune district. Total four villages and thirty farmers from each village i.e., total 120 farmers were selected randomly as sample size. Data used were pertaining to the period 2012-2013. Economic analysis of data indicated that, at the overall level the per hectare use of human labour and manure were 55.34 man days and 10.69 cartloads, respectively. The per hectare use of bullock labour and fertilizers was 5.27 pair days and 414.50 kg at the overall level. Economic analysis of data indicated that, Cost 'C' was found to Rs. 61,274.33 and Net returns over cost 'C' was Rs. 55,072.33 and inputoutput ratio at cost 'C' was 1:1.89 at the overall level.Keywords
