Tobacco which still has a great economic importance in the world and Turkey provides extensive employment opportunities from growing to evaluation stage to a certain part of our people and is produced as a family enterprise for centuries in our various regions. The aim of the study was to determine in the effects of worm fertilizer on Aegean type tobacco yield and some quality parameters. The search was carried out in a farmer field in Saruhanli district of Manisa province in 2019. Saribaglar-407 type tobacco was used as a research material. Experimental design was Randomized Complete Parcel Design with three replications. In this research, plant height (cm), number of the leaves (per/plant), cured leaf yield (kg ha-1), tobacco visual quality, leaf priming position (%), total alkaloid (nicotine) (%), total reducing sugar (%) and chlorine (%) were determined. Plant height, number of the leaves, yield, nicotine, total reducing sugar and chlorine contents were found 126.7 cm, 48 per/plant, 141 kg ha-1, 1.02%, 9.08% and 0.48%, respectively. An increase in the middle stalk position of the plant was recorded with the application of fertilizer and the results were obtained among the appropriate values for tobacco of the Aegean region in terms of chemical composition. Keywords: tobacco, worm fertilizer, yield, nicotine.

A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of head decapitation and planting density on plant growth, seed yield and quality of sprouting broccoli, Brassica oleracea var. italica L. using cultivar ‘Green Head’. The twenty treatments comprised of combinations of four head decapitation methods viz., D1 (decapitation of primary head at appearance and harvesting seeds from secondary heads), D2 (decapitation of primary head at marketable stage and harvesting seeds from secondary heads), D3 (removal of secondary heads at appearance and harvesting seeds primary head) and ‘D4’ (No decapitation- control) and five planting densities viz., S1 (60x60 cm), S2 (60x45 cm), S3(45x45 cm), S4 (60x30 cm), and S5 (45x30 cm). Decapitation of primary head at appearance and harvesting seeds from secondary heads (D1) and planting density S3 (45x45 cm) independently as well as in combination gave highest seed yield per plot and per hectare. This combination was also found comparable to other combinations for other characters like days to 50% flowering, days to seed harvesting, plant height at harvesting (cm), number of branches per plant, number of siliqua per plant, siliqua length (cm), number of seeds per siliqua and seed quality parameters. Therefore, it is suggested that decapitation of primary head at appearance and harvesting seeds from secondary heads (D1) in combination with plant spacing of 45x45 cm i.e. D1S3 can be recommended for commercial seed production of sprouting broccoli.

Aim: Evaluation of raw and treated sewage water irrigation on yield and quality of V1 mulberry. Study design: The Experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications and six treatments comprises of different proportions of raw sewage water, treated sewage water and borewell water. Place and duration of study: The study was conducted during Rabi 2019 in pre-established irrigated V1 mulberry garden at Department of Sericulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Results: Data recorded on quality parameters of mulberry revealed that raw sewage water irrigation significantly increased the leaf nutrient content such as N (3.68%), P (0.4%), K(1.91%), S (0.34%), Zn (30.08 ppm), Mn (103.75 ppm), Fe (373.75 ppm) and also leaf yield (804.31 g/plant) is significantly increased in 100% raw sewage water irrigation, whereas higher leaf Ca (2.06%) and Mg (0.71%) content was recorded in 100% borewell water irrigated plot, and the lowest leaf N (2.82%), P (0.28%), K (1.33%), S (0.17%), Zn (18.03 ppm), Mn (75.75 ppm), and Fe (336.5 ppm) content was found lower in 100% borewell water irrigation.

Selection of P1 seed farmers (ASRs) for different combination of P1 seed cocoon generation and supply to SSPC Vijayapura to produced large scale commercial double hybrid and SK hybrid ds. Sericulture is one of the most important rural industries practiced since several decades. It has certain inherent level to educate Sericulturists, still a wide gap exists between there commended technology and actual adoption by Sericulturists. To plan a suitable intervention strategy, to bridge this gap, it is necessary to understand the present knowledge and adoption level for improved technologies, so also existing mulberry leaf yield and quality seed cocoon generation. Therefore, present study was conducted to know the extent of adoption of improved practices at farmer's level in selected areas of ASR farmers Doddaballapura, Koratagere, Nelamangala and Siddlaghatta covering ve locations with purpose of good quality of seed cocoons generation and to produce quality ds. During the year 2018-19 signicant achievement of SSPC Vijayapura Production of Bivoltine F1 Silkworm Eggs on large scale as per the annual targets of 25 lakhs this centre could record a total production a quantity of 38,40,050 lakhs Bivoltine F1 ds was produced in different combination month wise and ds recovery Table-1&2.
