Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) belong to family cruciferae, is one of the most important winter vegetable grown widely. The cauliflower varieties are very responsive to temperature and photoperiod. Time of planting and varieties are important factors influencing vegetable production. It is therefore, very important to choose proper varieties and suitable dates of planting for high productivity of cauliflower. Different varieties of cauliflower are suitable for planting during different periods of the year. The importance of proper varieties of cauliflower for planting during...

Agricultural is and shall continue to be the most important sector of Indian economy and to also for Maharashtra state. It being the largest economic activity, serves as the index of the economic development. The study of "Performance of chickpea in Amravati district". Assumes important in this content, result of this study would help the policy makers to formulate policies pertaining to the various aspects of increasing chickpea production. The analysis of crop production is not only important for planning future chickpea production growth strategy of the region but also for financial...

Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) is one of the potentially valuable cut flower and is an important commercial flower of our country. The long flower spikes of tuberose are excellent cut flower and the individual florets are used for making garlands, ornaments for bridal make up and for button holes. Due to lack of standard production technology, the yield of quality flowers per unit area is low hence growth regulators can play a very important and remarkable role for production of good yield with quality flowers. Soaking of bulbs in GA3 before planting and its foliar application improves the...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) belongs to family solanaceae having chromosome number (2n=24). Total fertilizer consumption in India has been increasing every year. Thus taking into consideration the increasing demand for organic food and to check environmental deterioration due to use of chemical fertilizers, there is need to integrate use of organic fertilizers and bio fertilizers with chemical fertilizers. The hybrid tomato gives well response to fertilizers. In recent years the area under hybrids is increasing every year and hybrids are more fertilizer responsive. Therefore the...

Cowpea cultivation is neglected due to low yielding ability. The low potentiality may be due to genotype adaptable to poor management, as it is grown continuously on marginal land hence, there is need to give more attention for systematic study and developing high yielding varieties in order to solve mal-nutritional problems. Cowpea being a self pollinated crop, the diversification of genotypes is expected to be limited compared to cross pollinated crops. The divergence studies of parents involved and their F1 s may provide a tool for selection for ensuring occurrence of more number of...

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) belongs to the family solanaceae having diploid species with 2n=2x=24 chromosomes. Chilli can be grown in tropical and subtropical regions with warm and humid climate with temperature between 20- 25 ºC. These abiotic and biotic factors damages growth as well as production in chilli. To increase the area and productivity of chilli production it is essential to mitigate these problems with desirable effects. To tackle most of biotic and abiotic stresses, grafting in chilli can be the potential solution. An average of 5 to 8 days are required for the graft union of...

Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) belongs to the family solanaceae having diploid species with 2n=2x=24 chromosomes. Chilli is originated in South America and in the seventeenth century it was introduced in India by Portuguese. Chilli is a herbaceous or semi woody annual plant with fruits vary in shape, size, colour and degree of pungency. Chilli cultivation has various limiting factors such as abiotic i.e. water stress, heavy rains, lodging due to weak root growth, salt concentration, chilling injury, high temperature and biotic i.e. soil born diseases, viruses, sucking pests and nematodes etc....

Le piment (Capsicum annuum L.) appartient à la famille des solanacées et possède des espèces diploïdes avec 2n=2x=24 chromosomes. Le piment est originaire d'Amérique du Sud et a été introduit en Inde par les Portugais au XVIIe siècle. Le piment est une plante annuelle herbacée ou semi-boisée dont les fruits varient en forme, en taille, en couleur et en degré d'âcreté. La culture du piment est soumise à divers facteurs limitatifs, tels que les facteurs abiotiques (stress hydrique, fortes pluies, verse due à une faible croissance des racines, concentration en sel,...
