An attempt was made to study the effect of pinching, plant densities and foliar nutrient sprays on seed yield and quality parameters in China aster cv. Powder puff. The experiment comprised of two levels of pinching (P0 = No pinching, P1 = Pinching), three planting densities (D1 = 30 plants m-2, D2 = 36 plants m-2 and D3 = 42 plants m-2) and three levels of commercial nutrient sprays (S1= 3 sprays, S2= 4 sprays and S3 = 5 sprays), constituting a total of 18 treatment combinations replicated thrice in randomized complete block design (RCBD). Pinching at visible bud stage, significantly increased 1000 seed weight (2.18 g) and seed yield (490.85 kg/ha), Increasing the planting density resulted in increased seed yield (485.55 kg/ha) and 1000 seed weight (2.05 g). On the other hand, 4 and 5 nutrient sprays significantly improved seed yield (463.12 kg/ha-) and 1000 seed weight (1.95 g). The results from the study suggest that increased branching with apical bud removal, wider planting space and 4 to 5 foliar applications of multi-nutrient sprays, significantly improves seed yield and quality attributes of transplanted China aster. While suggesting the best combination of pinching, spacing and nutrient sprays, the economics of flower production was duly considered.

Background: Potato (Solanum tuberosum) popularly known as ‘The King of Vegetables’, has emerged as fourth most important food crop in the world after rice, wheat and maize. Indian vegetables basket is incomplete without potato as its, dry matter, edible energy and edible protein makes it nutritionally superior as well as staple food throughout the world. Methods: The experiment during 2016-2018 was laid out in factorial randomized complete block design with three replications to study the effect of bed size on the yield and size of the tuber under different irrigation methods. Results: Maximum yield was obtained in 60cm bed (narrow bed size) whereas in irrigation system drip produced maximum yield. All quality parameters did not influence due to sowing method and irrigation system but chip recovery was more in drip irrigation than furrow system. Maximum yield through interaction was found in drip irrigated 105 cm triple row bed. Around 45-50 per cent water was saved through drip irrigation as compared to furrow irrigation. However, maximum benefit cost ratio was obtained in furrow irrigated 60cm bed size.

Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) is a perennial summer flower grown by smallholders in Kenya for export. However, its production and export volumes have declined drastically due to nematodes infestation. This study evaluated the effect of Cleome gynandra accessions on nematode management on tuberose. Experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Research Field, Egerton University, Kenya using a randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments were: five accessions of C. gynandra namely ‘Simlaw’, ‘Egerton’, ‘Taastrup’, ‘PS’ and ‘IP8’, applied at 6 kg/m2 and compared with Brassica napus, solarization and untreated control. Data was collected on growth and yield parameters, nematode infestation and quality of tuberose. Data collected was subjected to analysis of variance at p≤0.05 and means separated using Tukey’s test. Biofumigation with Cleome gynandra accessions helped to reduce nematode population by 34%, gall numbers by 83% and galling index by be 96% when compared with the control. Use of biofumigation helped to improve plant height and leaf number of tuberose by 16% and 87%, respectively, when compared with the control. Use of biofumigation helped to improve spike length by 32%, marketable spikes by 80%, and flower yield by 90% and reduced nonmarketable spikes by 95% when compared with the control. Based on the above results, use of Cleome gynandra accessions and other biofumigants such as rape seed can be used to manage nematodes and improve growth, yield and quality of tuberose.

An experiment was conducted during the rabi season of the years 2015-16 and 2016-17 at the Instructional Farm of Uttar BangaKrishiVishwavidyalaya, Pundibari, Cooch Behar to study the performance of eight bush type frnch bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties (Shagun, Victoria, Falguni, Falkon Improved, Arka Komal, special Jhati Beans, Nandini and Basuki) regarding growth, fresh pod yield and quality in this region with and without Rhizobium inoculation. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. In case of inoculation treatment, irrespective of varietal differences, seeds were treated with Rhizobiumphaseoli10g/kg of seed. Common fertilizer dose of 80:40:40 N:P2O5:K2Okg/ha was applied in each plot. The experimental results revealed that Rhizobium inoculation increased the yield and quality parameters viz, protein %, vitamin-A content and ascorbic acid content in the fresh pods of the frenchbean varieties. However, flowering and harvesting were recorded earlier in without Rhizobium inoculation treatment due to less accumulation of nitrogen content inside the plant bodies. Under Rhizobium inoculation Special Jhati Beans recorded the highest pod yield (23.05 tonnes/ha) followed by Victoria (22.43 tonnes/ha) and Arka Komal (21.95 tonnes/ha). Regarding without inoculation treatment ArkaKomal recorded the higher yield (20.05 tonnes/ha) followed by Special Jhhati Beans (20.01tonnes/ha) and Nandini (18.76 tonnes/ha).Considering the benefit: cost ratio, french bean varieties ‘SpecialJhhati Beans’ and ‘Victoria’ might be selected for the terai region of West Bengal with a benefit : cost ratio of 2.94 and 2.83 respectively.
