A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2012 to study the biochemical efficacy of Homa organic farming practices in okra (Abelomoschus esculentus var. Arka Anamika) and laid out in randomized block design with 18 treatments replicated thrice. The treatments consist of control treatments i.e. conventional control and homa control; homa treatments (Agnihotra and Om Tryambakam homa) and non-homa treatments; and liquid organic manures viz, Panchagavya, Jeevamruta and Gloria Biosol for soil and foliar application. Among the control treatments, organic control recorded highest growth, yield and quality parameters than other controls. Soil and foliar application of Gloria Biosol was significantly superior over all the treatments in terms of growth, yield and quality attributes and recorded 20.28% more plant height and 21.41% more yield than organic control treatments. Ascorbic acid and free total phenol content of okra fruits in homa treatments were also significantly superior over all the treat-ments and recorded 15.45% and 5.33% more over organic control, respectively. Thus, it may be recommended that soil and foliar application of Gloria Biosol, among all the Homa organic treatments, will give the better crop produc-tivity and its produce quality.

To increase the strawberry production especially during offseason with the application of plant bio-regulators, the present study was conducted under subtropical mid-hill conditions of Arunachal Pradesh, India during spring-summer months of 2015-16. Effect of springtime foliar application of different plant bio-regulators viz., NAA, GA3, and BA on plant growth, yield and quality attributes of strawberry cv. Chandler with the advantage of increasing strawberry production during the off-season was accessed during the current study. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with ten treatment combinations (NAA, GA3, and BA at 50, 100, and 150 ppm each) replicated thrice considering water spray as control. The plant bio-regulators were sprayed at 25 days after transplanting and at the bud initiation stage. Results of the experiment revealed that the plants treated with GA3 150 ppm significantly influenced the plant height and number of leaves per plant at 30, 45, 60 and 75 days after transplanting. The minimum number of days taken to open the first flower (62.11 days) and the maximum number of runners per plant (9.17) were also recorded in the plants treated with GA3 150 ppm. While, GA3 50 ppm treated plants yielded fruits with maximum berry length (3.69 cm), berry width (2.74 cm), average berry weight (13.99 g), number of berries per plant (21.11) and yield per plant (209.11 g). Concerning the quality parameters of fruits, plants treated with NAA 100 ppm exhibited maximum TSS (9.00° B), total sugar (7.23 %), and ascorbic acid content (77.82 mg/100 g) whereas, GA3 100 ppm treatment significantly increased the contents of anthocyanin (122.18 mg/100 g), total phenols (69.42 mg/100 g) and β-carotene (3.96 µg/100 g).

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of foliar application of Ascophyllum nodosum extract, homobrassinolide, and triacontanol for improving fruit retention, yield, and quality in mango. Methodology: The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 10 treatments, comprising Ascophyllum nodosum extract (1000, 3000, and 5000 ppm), homobrassinolide (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 ppm), triacontanol (1, 3, and 5 ppm), and water as control. Treatments were foliar sprayed at panicle initiation, pea, and marble stages of fruit growth. Observations were recorded on flowering, fruiting, yield, and fruit quality parameters. Results: All the treatments of Ascophyllum nodosum extract and triacontanol exhibited significant improvement in fruit retention, fruit weight, yield, and fruit quality parameters over control. However, 3000 and 5000 ppm Ascophyllum nodosum extract treatments outperformed all the treatments of triacontanol. Plants sprayed with 5000 ppm Ascophyllum nodosum extract recorded the maximum value for fruit retention (48.15, 36.74, 29.48, and 25.76% at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after pea stage, respectively), number of fruits (133.25 per tree), fruit weight (188.84 g per fruit), and yield (25.16 kg per tree), whereas the lowest values were recorded under control. With respect to fruit quality, 3000 ppm ANE produced the fruits with the highest TSS (19.62 °B), whereas the highest TSS/acid ratio was recorded with 5000 ppm ANE (62.29) treatment. Interpretation: In mango, foliar application of Ascophyllum nodosum extract (3000-5000 ppm) thrice at panicle initiation, pea, and marble stages of fruit growth is effective for reducing fruit drop and enhancing quantum and quality of produce.
