Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) is most important multipurpose tropical fruit crop. It is a large evergreen tree with beautiful spreading habit with dense foliage and cultivated throughout the India except Himalayan region and western dry regions. The main disadvantage of seed propagation is freshly harvested seeds of tamarind exhibit poor germination percentage even it exposed to favorable conditions of germination due to seed dormancy. It might be due to morphological factor such as hard, thick testa or due to improper storage and handling (secondary dormancy). To overcome this problem,...

Okra is a fast growing, erect, herbaceous annual and belongs to the family Malvaceae. Okra is an economically important vegetable crop grown in tropical and sub-tropical parts of world. The current global scenario firmly emphasizes the need to adopt ecofriendly agricultural practices for sustainable food production. The cost of inorganic fertilizers is increasing enormously to an extent that they are out of reach of small and marginal farmers. The use of organic liquid products such as beejamrit, jeevamrit and panchagavya results in higher growth, yield and quality of crops. The use of...

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a widely cultivated plant, belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae and having a chromosome number, 2n =14. In botanical terms, the cucumber is classified as a pepo, a type of botanical berry with a hard outer rind and no internal divisions. PGR such as GA3, NAA and Ethrel include many aspects of plant growth, development and flowering and yield. They are organic substances when they are used in low concentration to change the plant growth usually by stimulating part of the natural growth regulatory system. Now a day farmers are using PGR on large scale in...

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a perennial (often biennial) monocotyledonous bulbous belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family and one of the most important crops of vegetables and spices grown under a wide range of climatic conditions worldwide. It is also called as "Kitchen Queen." Applied nutrients are subjected to losses like leaching and volatilization, resulting in an economic loss to the farmer. To maximize yield and profit, different crops require balanced fertilization. There is meagre information on the balanced use of NPK fertilizers with organic sources (Biomix and Humic Acid) for the...
