Groundnut

Groundnut, a crop rich in nutrients, originated in South America and spread to the rest of the world. Cultivated groundnut contains a fraction of the genetic diversity present in their closely related wild relatives, which is not more than 13 %, due to domestication bottleneck. Closely related ones are placed in section Arachis , which have not been extensively utilized until now due to ploidy differences between the cultivated and wild relatives. In order to overcome Arachis species utilization bottleneck, a large number of tetraploid synthetics were developed at the Legume Cell Biology Unit of Grain Legumes Program, ICRISAT, India. Evaluation of synthetics for some of the constraints showed that these were good sources of multiple disease and pest resistances. Some of the synthetics were utilized by developing ABQTL mapping populations, which were screened for some biotic and abiotic constraints. Phenotyping experiments showed ABQTL progeny lines with traits of interest necessary for the improvement of groundnut

Not AvailableThe experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on nutrient content and uptake in alfalfa under central dry zone of Karnataka at the farm field of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Konehalli, Tiptur, Tumkuru district of Karnataka state during kharif and rabi seasons from June 2016 to July 2017. There were nine treatments and four replication with Randomized complete block design. The results revealed that, the maximum nitrogen content of plant at first (1.14% & 1.15%), second (1.12% & 1.14%), third (1.16% & 1.15%), fourth (1.12% & 1.12%), fifth (1.11% & 1.09%), sixth (1.08% & 1.06%) and seventh harvest (1.07% & 1.05%) were recorded respectively during kharif and rabi season with the application 50% RDF+25% N through vermicompost+Rhizobium+PSB+VAM. The least nitrogen content of plant was recorded with the application of 10 t/ha FYM+100% N through FYM at all the harvests. The application of 50% RDF+25% N through vermicompost+Rhizobium+PSB+VAM has recorded maximum cumulative uptake of nitrogen (250.74 kg ha-1 & 235.36 kg ha-1), phosphorus (91.47 kg ha-1 & 84.36 kg ha-1) and potassium (176.46 kg ha-1 & 166.66 kg ha-1) by plant respectively during kharif and rabi season. The highest crude protein content of plant at first and subsequent harvesting of ratoon crops were recorded with the application of 50% RDF+25% N through vermicompost+Rhizobium+PSB+VAM in both the season. The experiment concluded that, the application of 50% RDF+25% N through vermicompost+Rhizobium+PSB+VAM has recorded maximum nutrient content and uptake in alfalfa during kharif and rabi season under central dry zone of Karnataka.Not Availabl

Not AvailableThis study was conducted on intercropping of medicinal crops viz., ashwagandha, garden rue, roselle and holy basil with pigeon pea and nipped castor in alfisols of eastern dry zone of Karnataka in kharif 2012. Intercropping of ashwagandha significantly reduced the growth and yield of field crops. The pigeon pea /castor + garden rue system performed better than sole crops of field crops. The yield of medicinal crops reduced due to intercropping. Sole crop of garden rue recorded significantly higher dry herb yield (1.43 t ha-1). Sole crop of roselle recorded highest fresh calyx yield (3.37 t ha-1) followed by pigeon pea intercropping (2.94 t ha-1) and castor intercropping (2.47 t ha-1). Pigeon pea + garden rue recorded maximum LER, ATER and net returns of 1.98, 1.82 and ` 29533.00 ha-1, respectively with a B: C ratio of 0.89.Not Availabl

Not AvailableThe prepared Jamun Syrup was analysed for physico-chemical characters and sensory quality at monthly interval for three months of storage. The targeted analysis showed that the TSS, pH, total sugars and reducing sugars were found to have increased during the storage whereas; acidity, anthocyanin, ascorbic acid content, total antioxidants, non- reducing sugars and the organoleptic scores had decreased. Among all the blended Syrup treatments, highest pH of 4.32, maximum TSS (68.15 oB), ascorbic acid (23.76 mg 100g-1), higher retention of anthocyanin content (23.71 mg 100ml-1), total antioxidants (49.33 %) and total sugars (56.08 %) was found in treatment combination of J3S2R2 [(50ml juice), (80 per cent jamun, 15 per cent avocado, 5 per cent nannari) and honey].
