Background: Mango stones are in general recalcitrant. Moreover, they are available only during April- May months which are the drier parts of the year. So stone germination and plant vigour are very low. Proper seed orientation, age of stones after extraction from fruit and pre-sowing treatments need to be taken into consideration for inducing early germination, boosting growth, enhancing the seedling vigour and reducing the mortality. Methods: The experiment was laid out in factorial completely randomized design with forty two treatment combinations replicated thrice. The treatments were comprised of two sowing positions viz., flat and stalk end up, three age of stones after extraction from fruit, viz., fresh extracted, 10 days and 20 days after extraction and seven pre-sowing treatments viz., 100 ppm GA3, 200 ppm GA3, 1 ppm KNO3, 2 ppm KNO3, cow dung slurry, water, control and their combinations. Result: Stalk end up sowing of freshly extracted stones pre-treated with 200 ppm GA3 for 24 hours recorded better germination and vigour of mango seedlings.

Java lemongrass is commonly cultivated in Vietnam for the use in industries and traditional medicine. Currently, the application of fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer, is one of the most traditional farm practices to increase production yield. A single factorial experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, three replications to determine the suitability of nitrogen fertilizer rates on growth, leaf and oil yields of Java lemongrass. Six treatments were used in this experiment including 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240 kg N/ha and applying 90 kg N/ha as control. Fertilizer base for treatments (for 1 ha) included 20 tons of cow dung compost, 60 kg P2O5 and 60 kg K2O. The application of 120 kg N/ha significantly improved the growth of Java lemongrass as plant height (97.0 cm/plant), average number of leaves (197.1 leaves/plant), average weight of leaves per plant (198.7 g/plant), fully leaf yield (9.4 tons/ha/2 harvest times), essential oil content (1.0% FW) and economic oil yield (97.8 kg/ha/2 harvests).

Bacterial wilt of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) caused by the yellow and orange variants of Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. Flaccumfaciens (Hedges) Collins & Jones was found in western Canada in 2002 (1). A purple variant was found in a pooled sample of discolored cull seeds of great northern bean (cv. US1140) from a crop grown near Bow Island, Alberta, Canada in 2005. Bacterial colonies isolated from purple seed using modified Burkholder's agar (MBA) (3) were convex, glistening, and smooth edged with blue pigment diffusing into the medium. Three isolates (V154, V155, and V254) were identified with conventional tests (2), carbohydrate oxidation (GP Microplates, Biolog Inc., Hayward, CA), and cellular fatty acids (CFA) (MIDI, Inc., Newark, DE). All were grampositive, motile, aerobic rods with yellow colonies producing extracellular blue pigment on MBA when grown at 20 ± 2°C. Bacterial isolates grew at 27°C but grew weakly at 37°C. They were positive for catalase and hydrolysis of hippurate and indoxyl acetate and negative for urease, gelatin liquification, and oxidase. CFA profiles were approximately 48% 15:0 anteiso, 40% 17:0 anteiso, 7% 16:0 iso, and 3% 15:0 iso; with 17:1 anteiso A variable but <1%. Many carbohydrates were oxidized in the Biolog microplates with little acid production. The results match C. flaccumfaciens (2) and the MIDI and Biolog databases, as well as the purple variant of C. flaccumfaciens found in Nebraska, the only previous report of this variant (4). The pathogenicity of the three isolates was tested. Seeds of great northern (cv. US1140) and navy (cv. Morden003) beans were soaked in a bacterial suspension (1 × 108 CFU/ml) or distilled water (control) for 1 h, planted in Cornell mix in root trainers, incubated at 28/22°C (16-h day/8-h night) in a growth cabinet for 14 days, and examined for seedling wilt. The test had three replicates per treatment and 20 seeds per replicate in a completely randomized design. All three isolates were pathogenic to both bean cultivars. The wilt incidences were 51, 57, and 56% on US1140 and 64, 76, and 69% on Morden003 for isolates V154, V155, and V254, respectively. The purple variant of C. flaccumfaciens was reisolated from hypocotyls of wilted seedlings but not from healthy controls. The experiment was repeated using the reisolated bacteria and the results were similar to the first experiment, thus fulfilling Koch's postulates. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the purple variant of C. flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens in Canada. References: (1) T. F. Hsieh et al. Plant Dis. 86:1275, 2002. (2) K. Komagata et al.

Aims: To investigate the effect of storage treatments, gibberellic acid (GA3) and duration of soaking on seed germination and seedling growth in Kagzi lime. Study Design: The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with factorial concept and three repetitions. Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was conducted during July to November 2017 at Department of Fruit Science, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India. Methodology: The experiment consisted of sixteen treatments which were repeated thrice. It comprised of three factors and their respective levels. Factor S1 indicated freshly extracted kagzi lime seeds and S2 comprised of seeds stored for 15 days. The different concentrations of gibberellic acid were G1 - 200 ppm; G2 - 300 ppm; G3 - 400 ppm and G4 - 500 ppm. Whereas, duration D1 stood for 12 hours and D2 for 24 hours. Results: The interaction between storage treatments, pre-sowing treatments and duration of soaking was found significant for all parameters included in the study except collar diameter and sturdiness quotient. Soaking freshly extracted Kagzi lime seeds in an aqueous solution of 500 ppm GA3 for 12 hours resulted in the minimum days for 50% germination (27.89), Seedling Vigour Index (3654.83) and survival percentage (84.70). The same treatment when extended for 24 hours recorded the highest germination percentage (95.68) and number of leaves (28.76). Soaking freshly extracted seeds in 400 ppm GA3 solution for 12 hours registered the maximum shoot length (21.63 cm). Kagzi lime seedlings raised from freshly extracted seeds resulted in higher collar diameter (2.04 mm) and sturdiness quotient (8.70). Further, a soaking duration of 12 hours proved better over 24 hours for collar diameter (2.04 mm) and sturdiness quotient (8.69). Between the different concentrations of GA3, 400 ppm gave better results for collar diameter (2.09 mm) and 200 ppm for sturdiness quotient (8.65).   Conclusion: Soaking freshly extracted kagzi lime seeds in an aqueous solution of 500 ppm GA3 for 12 hrs proved to be the best treatment combination for inducing early germination, higher Seedling Vigour Index and survival percentage. Nurserymen can employ these findings for early germination and vigorous seedlings in Kagzi lime.
