Irrigation Levels

Effects of four different irrigation levels viz., One irrigation at 50 per cent flowering stage, one irrigation at grain filling/pod initiation stage, two irrigations (one at 50 per cent flowering + one at grain filling stage), control (without irrigation) on the incidence of gram pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) on chickpea were studied during Rabi, 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Bikaner (Rajasthan), India. Results revealed that the highest mean larval population (3.12 larvae per 5 plants) and maximum pod damage (33.24%) were recorded in the crop which was irrigated twice viz., one at 50 per cent flowering stage and second at grain filling stage. The lowest larval population (2.03 larvae per 5 plants) with minimum pod damage (8.34%) was recorded in the crop where irrigation was not given. The maximum seed yield (11.05 q/ha) was obtained from the crop which was irrigated two times and minimum seed yield (7.56 q/ha) was obtained in control. Bangladesh J.

There is potential for expanding lentil cultivation to dry and warm Mediterranean rain-fed environments at low altitudes, where early sowings are recommended to profit from winter rains and escape drought and excessive heat at the grain filling stage. In cooler areas, frost might be a problem in the early sowings, however, in warmer areas such as our low altitude warm southern Spanish environments the most detrimental factor on lentil seed yield appeared to be high temperatures at grain-filling stage, particularly heat waves of more than 5 days with Tmax > 30 °C. This was followed by broomrape infection, the combination of both being dramatic. We detected variation for stress tolerance, with S17 and R7 accessions outstanding for all stress indexes used, followed by S23, Nsir, S6, and S12. Broomrape infection ranked second risk in the area. No complete resistance to broomrape was identified, but there was a significant variation in the level of infection, with accessions S14 and R17 being the more resistant across environments. This offers prospects for combining heat tolerance and broomrape resistance by breeding.

An investigation on the effect of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on the changes of biochemical components of two varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.), BRR1 dhan 29 and BRRI dhan 50 was carried out. Two concentrations of NAA, 100 and 200 ppm were used as foliar spray. In BRRI dhan 29, significant increases in chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b contents of leaf were observed due to both the treatments at the flowering stage, whereas, carotenoids at the grain filling stage only. But in BRRI dhan 50, the total leaf pigments decreased at the flowering and grain filling stage, but was significant in case of chlorophyll a at the flowering stage. Significant increases in protein content of leaf were recorded at the tillering and flowering stage of BRRI dhan 29 following 100 ppm NAA treatment. In BRRI dhan 50, the only significant increase was recorded at grain filling stage due to 200 ppm NAA treatment. In both the varieties carbohydrates, protein, fat, and energy content of grain increased due to both the treatments and the maximum increase in all the cases was recorded due to 100 ppm NAA treatment. Ash and moisture content of grain reduced following both the treatments in both the varieties, the maximum reduction was due to 100 ppm NAA treatment Asiat. Soc.

The experiment was carried out with 50 wheat lines to study their mean, range, cv (%), correlation co- efficient, and path co- efficient considering 14 different morphological characters at the experimental field of Regional Wheat Research Centre (RWRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur during December 2010 to April 2011. Significant variation was observed among the genotypes for all characters studied. In general, genotypic correlations were higher than the phenotypic correlations. It indicates that there was an inherent association among them which was adversely influenced by the environment. The correlation coefficients showed that, seed yield was negatively and significantly correlated with days to heading (DTH), plant height (PHT), days to anthesis (DTA), days to physiological maturity (DPM), and canopy temperature at anthesis stage (CTanth.) but only negatively correlated with canopy temperature at vegetative stage (CTveg.), canopy temperature at grain filling stage (CTgf.), spikelets per spike both genotypically and phenotypically and grain per spike showed genotypically negative correlation. Path analysis showed that plant height (PHT), days to physiological maturity (DPM), canopy temperature at grain filling stage (CTgf.), and thousand grain weight (TGW) influenced seed yield directly in positive direction but days to heading (DTH), days to anthesis (DTA), grain filling duration (GFD), grain filling rate (GFR), Chlorophyll content at anthesis stage (CHLA), canopy temperature at vegetative stage (CTveg.), canopy temperature at anthesis stage (CTanth.), spikelets per spike, and grains per spike had negative direct effect on seed yield. Considering analytical findings of correlation co-efficient, path co-efficient analysis and field performance, the genotypes G 3, G 10, G 11, G 12, G13, G 21, G 29, G 35, G 38, G 40, G 46 and G 48 were found suitable for future breeding programme.Bangladesh J.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of NAA (0, 25, 50 ppm) at varying nitrogen levels (0, 50, 75, 100 % of the recommended dose) on nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) uptake by shoot and root and percentage of total NPK uptake by BARI Gom-26 at flowering and grain filling stage. Application of NAA at varying nitrogen levels had significant effect on P and K uptake by shoot and root at both stages, whereas, the N content of shoot at flowering stage and of root at the grain filling stage were non-significant.At both the stages, K content of root increased following all the treatments. At flowering and grain filling stage, P content of root and shoot increased and decreased due to different treatments. The maximum percentage of total NPK uptake was recorded from K followed by N and P respectively at both stages. In majority cases there was a decreasing trend in percentage uptake of N and P at grain filling stage compared with flowering stagewhereas, the trend was almost reverse in case of K. The N content of grain increased following all the treatments, the maximum being due to 25 ppm NAA in combination with 75 % N-fertilizer. Only decrease in P content of grain was recorded when 25 ppm NAA without any N-fertilizer was applied. In case of K content, 50 ppm NAA without any N-fertilizer resulted the only decrease. The highest nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) by total plant was also recorded from 50 ppm NAA in combination with 50 % N-fertilizer at flowering stage, whereas, from 25 ppm NAA in combination with 75 % N-fertilizer at grain filling stage.J.

The bio efficacy of some new insecticides and their combinations against pod borer infesting pigeonpea was evaluated at Agronomy farm, RCA, Udaipur using four dosages of Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% @ 150, 200, 250 and 300 ml/ha along with Lambdacyhalothrin 4.9 % CS @ 500 ml / ha, Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 162 ml / ha, Profenophos 50 EC @ 1500 ml / ha and Indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 517 ml / ha. Among the various insecticides, lowest population of larvae with a mean of 3.65, 4.16, 2.25 and 2.16 larvae/10 plants was recorded in Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% at 300 ml/ha as against 35.10, 37.0, 39.55 and 38.47 larvae/10 plants in untreated control during 2011 at 7 and 14 days after first and second spray, respectively which was found at par with Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% at 200, and 250 ml/ha. Similar results were also recorded during 2012 with larval population in the range of 2.10 –7.16/ 10 plants in Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% treated plot @ 200,250 and 300 ml/ha. Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% at 300ml/ha caused highest reduction in pod borer larvae during both the years with a mean reduction of 91.86 and 89.14 per cent during kharif 2011 and 2012, respectively. The seed yield among different treatments ranged from 6.75 to 9.50 and 7.87 to 10.78q/ha against 5.35and 6.45q/ha in untreated control during kharif 2011 and 2012, respectively. The highest seed yield of 9.50 and 10.78 q/ha/ha was recorded in case of spray of Chlorantraniliprole 9.6% + Lambdacyhalothrin 4.6% at 300 ml/ha during kharif 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Based on the experiment of two inbred aromatic rice varieties and one hybrid aromatic rice line treated under four different temperatures( daymean temperature 21°C, 23°C, 26°C and 30°C respectively) during grain filling stage in phytotrons, the shape and arrangement of endosperm starch granules in rice grain transection were observed by scanning electron microscope and the related characteristics of rice grain qualities of chalky percent and chalkiness were analyzed at the same time. The results showed that under the lower temperature( daymean temperature21°C and 23°C), many large compound starch granules with clear angulars packed together regularly without significant natural gaps bewteen starch granules in the tansectional endosperm. However, with the increase of temperature, starch granules in the transectional endosperm were changed from regularly shaped and closely and orderly arranged to various shaped and chaoticly arranged with obvious natural gaps between starch granules, which was closely consistent with the poorer appearance quality under the higher temperature, which indicated that the endosperm structure is closely related with appearance quality of aromatic rice.
