INTRODUCTION
Cucurbits are vegetable crops belonging to family Cucurbitaceae, which
primarily comprises 118 genera and 825 species. In India, 37 genera and about
100 species of cucurbits, including wild and cultivated, have been reported.
About 60 cucurbit crops are grown in India and half of these are indigenous to
India or Indian subcontinent. As a result, only 33 crops (10 main and 23 minor)
of this enormous family are consumed as vegetable or salad crops globally or
regionally.
Cucurbits share 5% of the total vegetable production in India which
includes indigenous cucurbits. Being the largest group of vegetables, cucurbits
provide better scope to enhance overall productivity and production of
vegetable to meet the challenges. The important indigenous cucurbit crops
grown in India are cucumber, bitter gourd, ridge gourd, sponge gourd, pointed
gourd, ash gourd, snake gourd, ivy gourd, long melon, round melon, snap melon
and spine gourd. Though cucurbits are occupying a major place in vegetable
crops and rich source of dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals, but
proportionally very few crops of this family are known for medicinal
properties in ethnic uses like Citrulluscolocynthis L. for reducing the mean
levels of HbA1c and fasting blood sugar (FBS) among the type IIdiabetes
patients.

Nutritive value
It contains 94.1 g of water, 4.0 g carbohydrates, 14 mg Vit C, 0.6 g
proteins, 0.1 g fats, 0.7 g fibre, 0.7 g ash, and 0.04 mg Vit B1 per 100 g edible
portion. Sweet bitter gourd provides17 Kcal of total energy.
Medicinal Significance
According to Rivas et al. (2013), Cyclantherapedata extract can be
beneficial in decreasing the effect of LOX activity (tumour production and
cancer spread). Because of its low in calories content in fruits, Chuchekarela
has also been discovered to be effective in lowering blood cholesterol,
regulating fat metabolism, and weight reduction (Sukornoet al., 2019).
Cyclantherapedata is utilised in South America for its anti-inflammatory,
hypoglycaemic, and hypocholesterolaemia effects (Montoroet al., 2005).
Botany
Cylantherapedata shares a genus with Cylantherabrachystachia. It is
also edible and neutralised in the same locations as sweet bitter gourd. Plant is
a robust annual vine up to 4-5 m tall, branching at the lower nodes, with leaves
8-18 cm wide and generally 5 lobed. For support, vines have forked tendrils. It
is a monoecious perennial with a climbing habit that may also be cultivated as
an annual. Fruit is pepo in shape, tapering flattened, obliquely oval, 10-15 cm
long, 5-10 cm wide, and 2-3 cm thick. Fruit skin can have scant spines at times.
The fruit cavity is hollow, the fleshy peel is 3-4mm thick, and the interior tissue
is a white spongy pulp with black-brown seeds.

Cultivation Aspects
Fig 1: Flowering and fruiting in ChucheKarela (Cylantherapedata)
Importance
Chuchekarela is consumed in many kinds of ways in the hills of West
Bengal and Sikkim, including cooked, fried, pickled, and so on. Chuchekarela's
traditional use as a vegetable cooked with dried meat or fish has its own
significance in the local region's social structure. Fruits are also sun dried after
being sliced into pieces, allowing for further crop utilisation during the off
season. Crop is very important in meeting the local people's veggie demands. It
has also been noticed that production of such crop is advantageous in
enhancing the income of certain local producers since the immature fruits are
traded at a decent price in local marketplaces. Due to its nutritional and
medicinal properties most of the local people prefers to consume it as a healthy
vegetable once or twice in a week during its time in a year as ‘SamayKoFal’ in
local language.

Botany
This is a perennial deciduous plant that grows in the foothills and is
dioecious, with a rare occurrence of monoecious. Nonsegmented polymorphic
leaves (6-10 cm in length), hairless, oval, angled, and cordate. Female flowers
have petite, single (rarely grouped) triangular petals that are white or
yellowish white. Male flowers are umbellate or sub-umbellate, with a small
flower stem. Fruits are ellipsoid and ridged or smooth, with white pulp when
young and crimson with red pulp when ripe, and are apically beaked. The fruits
often contain 14-18 large seeds. At the immature stage, the seed coat is white
and pulpy; at the dried stage, it is spherical in shape and brownish in colour.
Spindle-shaped tuberous roots with a girth of 2.5-3 cm (diameter) and root
zone growth of 25-30 cm diameter in soil.

Nutrition content
Solenaamplexicaulis fruit pulp contains 13.14% total soluble sugar, 7.05
mg/g reducing sugar, 0.40 mg/g total phenol content, and 0.85 g/100 g
protein. The medium proportion of these components clearly makes this crop
appropriate for ingestion. However, the low protein content is comparable to
that of other cucurbits such as M. charantia L. (0.97 g/100 g) and M. dioicaRoxb
(1.11 g/100 g). Furthermore, antioxidants like as catalase (0.84 lM/min/g),
peroxidase (2.96 lM/min/g), and polyphenol oxidase (0.45 lM/min/g)
contribute considerably to its nutritional properties. So yet, no antioxidant
action has been documented for small cucurbits.
Flowering
It starts during August which is approx. 40–50 daysafter seed
germination and lasts upto Nov-Dec.

Economic uses
Solenaamplexicaulis is widely recognised for its pharmacological
activities due to a variety of bioactive chemicals such as terpenes, triazines,
esters, alkanes, alcohols, hydrocarbons, aldehydes, amides, and so on, which
validates its traditional use as an anti-diabetic and antibacterial agent.
However, it is worth noting that phytochemicals are found in practically every
plant portion, including the leaf, stem, tuber, and fruits. Furthermore, because
of its culinary characteristics, nutritional value, and delightful flavour of fresh
fruits, it is appropriate for consumption as a vegetable crop. As a result, Solena
is vital in terms of nutritional and economic value, as well as broadening our
vegetable basket.
3. Karchikai (Momordicacymbalaria)
In India, M. cymbalaria is known by the vernacular names Karchikai
and Madagalikai in Kannada in Karnataka, Athalakkai in Tamil in Tamil Nadu,
and Kasarakayee in Telugu in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The Karchikai
(Momordicacymbalaria) is a small and underutilised tuber-forming cucurbit
member of the Cucurbitaceae family native to India's Western and Eastern
Ghats. Tribal farmers utilised the fruits and tubers in traditional medicine as
well as vegetable food. Farmers in the home province are preserving this
species for ethnic use as traditional knowledge.

astringent, abortifacient, and aphrodisiac (Fernandeset al. 2007). Furthermore,
M. cymbalaria fruits have long been used in Asian traditional medicine due to
their wide range of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, carotenoids,
cucurbitanetriterpenoids, phenolic acids, and phytosterols (Jeyadeviet al.
2012), and tuber is used as an abortifacient medicinal property noted in
ancient ethnic treatments (Nadkarni, 1994).
Botany
Momordicacymbalaria is a thin, scandent, branching, and striated
climbing annual or perennial plant. Beheraet al. (2010) describe the fruits as
20-25 mm long, pyriform, with strong ridges reduced at the apex and the base
narrowing into the curving peduncle. The plants were monoecious sex form,
bears white flowers, and anthesis between 11 and 12 am, had symmetrical
anthers, the plant generates tuberous roots, and ribbed fruits are the
economically important parts, plants were propagated by round oval seeds
with hypogeal germination process and tubers were also used for plant
multiplication. The Karchikai or Madagalikai earns a competitive price in the
local market, resulting in a significant monetary advantage without any inputs.
August and September are the peak harvest times.Harvesting does not
necessitate any special abilities.While fruits that are 10–12 days old are best,
olderfruits would be used through deseeding. Tendergreenfruits have a decent
consistency and shelf life (Josephand Antony, 2008).
M. cymbalaria is on the verge of extinction due to anthropogenic-
assisted habitat degradation, overexploitation without protection, and a lack of
scientific understanding or record of development, propagation, and
reproduction. As a result, significant genetic resources of M. cymbalaria remain
untapped, necessitating the focus of researchers on critical aspects such as
the characterization of local strains for breeding activities, as well as the
disclosure of genotypes useful for horticultural, nutritional, and therapeutic
traits for local and global trade. In light of this, a preliminary field study was
carried out to identify plant morphological properties for future breeding and
genetic advancement programmes, as well as chemical and nutritious features
of vegetable fruit for human consumption.

Propagation of M. cymbalaria
It is primarily propagated by tuberous roots, its method of propagation
is asexual. The tubers emerge once the monsoon begins and go dormant
throughout the summer dry times. Because seeds are black in colour, glossy,
and hard, they are normally not utilised for propagation because the rate of
germination is very low or insignificant. Tissue culture methods, when
combined with various explants, can be beneficial for bulk multiplication.
Studies for this aim have also been carried out with success. (Aileniet al., 2009).
Cytological studies
According to Bharatiet al. 2011, karyotype study, the number of
chromosomes is 2n=18, which was previously reported as 2n=16, 22.
Momordicacymbalaria chromosomes differed significantly from those of other
similar species, according to a karyotype investigation. It has been stated that
the chromosomes of this crop are clearly distinguishable from those of other
species.
Micro propagation
An overcoming the invitro propagation of Momordicacymbalaria. Leaf
tips, stems, and nodal segments are utilised as explants in in vitro propagation.
The use of nodal explants resulted in success. Leaf explants on MS media
produced the greatest number of indirect regeneration of numerous shoots
(9.0 +-0.5). Repeated subculturing of leaf callus on shoot regeneration media
resulted in large scale shoot development (35+-3.4) shoots/explants. On
hormone-free half-strength MS media, root induction was accomplished. Even
while invitro propagation was successful, there was a poor proliferation rate in
previous findings. To solve this issue, Balkhandeet al. (2013) investigated the
10
4th International Conference
effect of Agno3 Silver nitrate on the regeneration ability of several plants. The
nodal explants were grown on M& S medium with BAP, Kinetin, and AgNO3 to
induce shoot bud development and subsequent proliferation. With the BAP and
AgNO3 mixture, several shoots were generated. After 4 weeks of culture, an
average of 14.30+- 0.34 shoots per explant were produced. In AgNO3containing
media, the number of shoots rose thrice.

Nutritional value
Chow-chow is high in minerals and vitamins. The fruits and seeds have
increased antioxidant activity and are high in various key amino acids (aspartic
acid, glutamic acid, alanine, arginine, cysteine, phenylalanine, glycine, histidine,
isoleucine, leucine, methionine, proline, serine, tyrosine, threonine, and valine)
(Ordonez et al. 2006). Because of the softness of the fruit flesh, it is ideal for
adding consistency to infant meals, liquids, sauces, and pastes. Many of these
nutritional properties make it appropriate for hospital meals. The low calorific
content of chow-chow fruits may be an excellent supplement to potatoes,
particularly for diabetic individuals. The vine stems are utilised as rope in
handicrafts to produce baskets and hats because to their flexibility and
strength.
12
4th International Conference
are often taken out of the old vineyard after the second year, when the vines
are entirely dry (January-March).
Pruning
A year has two fruiting seasons, and vines are trimmed at the peak of
each season, leaving just a little piece of 1.5m of stem.
Future thrust
Indigenous and minor vegetables show very substantive biodiversity,
are adapted to specific marginal soil and climatic conditions, and often can be
grown with minimal external inputs. Diversifying current production systems
with traditional vegetables will increase their heterogeneity and will
subsequently lead to better resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses. Research is
needed to understand the potential opportunities and perceived constraints
faced by poor smallholder farmers in cultivating indigenous vegetables to be
able to devise adoption and dissemination strategies to best meet their needs.
Relatively nutrient-dense indigenous vegetables have a potential role in
improving human nutrition. Amongst indigenous vegetables, specifically,
cucumber, snake gourd, snap melon, ridge gourd, sponge gourd, satputia, spine
gourd, bitter gourd, Indian lotus, Indian bean, cluster bean and many other
leafy vegetables are important indigenous vegetable in the tropics and possess
good nutrient density and are a rich source of a number of antioxidant
phytochemicals and other micronutrients, viz. β-carotene, vitamin C, folic acid,
magnesium, phosphorus and potassium and are often used in folk medicine.
13
Malla Reddy University, Hyderabad and Just Agriculture Education Group
Indigenous and minor vegetables play a significant role in addressing
malnutrition problems and maintaining biodiversity and ensuring incomes for
poor farmers.
In the Indian desert, underutilised cucurbitaceous vegetable crops such
as chuchekarela, Gandhi and Karchikai have higher nutritional and therapeutic
potential. Chuchekarela and Gandhi recognise various nutritional potentials,
including therapeutic advantages, to address a variety of lifestyle disorders,
therefore enhancing the nation's nutritional security. Its nutritional culinary
values suggest that it might be employed as a viable vegetable crop in the
human vegetable diet, similar to other members of the Momordica family.
Overall, there is an urgent need to gather and conserve the gene pool for
improved utilisation of genetic resources due to a lack of attempts to protect M.
cymbalariagermplasm.

Background:
The use of agricultural by-products as a source of functional
ingredients, particularly those from crop plants, has received great interest.
Banana (Musa spp.) is a common food crop worldwide, but its peel, similar to
other agricultural by-products, is often discarded. Banana peel has the
potential to be transformed into functional foods because it is historically
consumed as food and medicine in some regions of the world.

Introduction
Fruits and vegetables are an indispensible component of our diet.
Fruits and vegetables ensure the supply of vitamins, minerals and essential
amino acids that are required for better health. Fruit and vegetable processing
is one of the major industries in today’s date. According to MOFPI (2015) only
2% of the vegetables and 4% of the fruits are actually processed remaining
portion is consumed fresh or are lost in between the supply chain. Fruits and
vegetable owing to 20-40% loss renders huge economic loss for the farmers
and the nation. A considerable portion of fresh fruits and vegetables are being
processed nowadays. The industrial processing of fruits produces a
considerable quantity of by-product or wastes. The wastes however is not that
useful in the main scenario of processing but can be processed in many other
forms as well. Few wastes can also be used for the preparation of several
bioactive components and similar products. With increasing population, the
production of food is needed to be increased along with a reducing cost of food.
The cost reduction is to be done without compromising with the quality. One
dynamic solution to reduce loss is by utilization of the waste. This would help
to reduce the losses occurring during processing.
Banana is one of the most important food crops which is generally
planted in tropical countries and has beneficial applications in the food
industry. It is the world’s largest herb, and a member of the lily family. The fruit
averages 125 grams (0.28 lb), of which approximately 75% is water and 25%
dry matter. Most of the edible bananas are cultivated mainly for their fruits,
thus, banana farms could generate several tons of underused by-products and
wastes. Banana pseudo stem, Banana fibre, Banana leaves and sheaths, Banana
plant, Banana peel, Banana skin, Banana pith, Banana Male bud are mainby
products of banana. Most of these by-products may serve as an undervalued
commodity with a limited commercial value, application and in some cases,
considered as an agricultural waste which paves the way to utilize a huge
amount of untapped biomass and resolve some of the environmental issues.
Approximately 36 million tons of banana peel is produced every year,
and their current endpoint is associated with adverse environmental impact
and economic losses. In recent times, Banana peel has been utilized for various
industrial applications including bio-fuel production, bio-sorbents, pulp and
paper, cosmetics, energy related activities, organic fertilizer, environmental
cleanup and biotechnology related processes (Morton, 1987; Gunaseelan,
2004; Bori et al., 2007).
The peel has long been used as a medicine to cure a variety of illnesses,
including, anaemia, ulcers, diarrhea, snakebite, burns, diabetes, inflammation,
17
Malla Reddy University, Hyderabad and Just Agriculture Education Group
cough and excessive menstruation. Additionally, it has been shown that the
substance possesses strong anti-oxidant, antimicrobial, and antibiotic
capabilities. It is therefore a substance with potential for additional uses in the
nutraceutical and pharmaceutical sectors [30].
The concentration of total phenolic compounds in the peels, is more
than twice the amount present in edible tissue. Banana is rich catechin and
gallocatechin. According to the criteria established by the National Cancer
Standard Institute, banana peel extract is classified as nontoxic to normal
human cells therefore it can be safely utilized as a natural source of antioxidant
for value addition Someya et al. (2002). Banana peel is a reach source of Starch
(3%), crude protein (6- 9%), crude fat (3.8-11%), Emaga et al. (2008), total
dietryfibre (43-49.7%); which is even better than the fruitfleshitself.
Fibrepromotes proper digestionandcanhelp tolower cholesterol levels and poly
saturated fatty acid particularly linolic acid and á linolic acid, pectin, essential
amino acid like threonine, valinephynylalanine and micro nutrients (K, P, Ca
and Mg) Emaga et al. (2007). Banana peels also contain the amino acid
tryptophan, which contributes to a good moodand promotes the production of
serotonin. Bananas contain potassium, a mineral that is particularly
recommended for people with highblood pressure, as it helps stabilize blood
pressure. On average, banana peels contain 6-9% drymatter of protein and 20-
30% fibre. Green plantain peels contain 40% starch that is transformedinto
sugars after ripening. Green banana peels contain much less starch (about
15%) whengreenthanplantain peels, whileripe bananapeelscontain up to 30%
freesugars.
The world's population is expanding quickly, and there is a trend
towards using sustainable agricultural byproducts, which provides a stable
foundation for the continued development of waste products and byproducts
from bananas. Because of its numerous bioactive components with potential
health-promoting effects, banana peel has demonstrated outstanding
nutritional quality when used in a variety of food products including bread,
culinary and meat products [31]. therefore the present investigation focuses on
better utilization of banana peel as not waste but a base raw material for value
addition into food product like energy bar which will be a good source of many
phytochemicals along with carried health benefits there in.

ALMONDS: Almonds contain nutrients
that may help prevent cancer,
strengthen bones, promote heart health,
and more. It also gives the good flavor
and taste of the products.
Proximate analysis
Proximate analysis i.e., moisture, crude protein, ash, fat and crude fibre
contents of raw materials and value-added product as energy bar was
determined according to standard procedure of AOAC (1990) and AOAC
(2005).
Energy bars may be used as an energy source
during athletic events such as marathons, triathlons and other activities which
require a high energy expenditure for long periods of time. They are also
commonly used as meal replacements in weight-loss programs. They may be
used as a snack. Attempts were made to standardize recipe for preparation of
energy bar using banana peel and other ingredients as mentioned in recipe
with varying proportion of each ingredients keeping raw material banana peel
as constant and the final formulated sample was selected on the basis of
sensory evaluation.

CONCLUSION:
Peels from bananas are frequently discarded into the environment
without any preparation. With regard to nutritional quality, banana peel has
shown excellent uses in different food items such as bakery, culinary products
and meat products primarily because of its various bioactive compounds with
potential health-promoting effects. So banana peel waste products like energy
bar prepared in the form of by product will play an important role in human
life.

Abstract
Conventional farming is always modified by good innovation in
agriculture, while the holistic idea of organic farming checks the use of
synthetic inputs while, on the other side, the concept of natural farming allows
farming with few traditional and locally available inputs. The all three farming
concepts are fundamentally different, to check them on a real field, an
experiment was carried out on medium black calcareous clayey soil in
Junagadh (Gujarat) to evaluate low-cost natural farming, organic farming and
conventional farming in Gujarat's six major crops. The present experiment
included wheat and chickpea during Rabi season 2019-20; groundnut and
sesame during summer season 2020; and groundnut and sweet corn during
Kharif season 2020. The experimental results revealed that conventional
farming module significantly increased yields of crops as compared to organic
farming and low cost natural farming. Significantly higher available nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium after harvest was found under conventional
farming, while the organic farming module registered significantly higher
organic carbon, heat-soluble S, DTPA-extractable Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn after
harvest, which was found at par with conventional farming. Economic analysis
showed that maximum net returns, gross returns and B:C ratio were observed
under conventional farming module.

1. Introduction
Since human evolution, farming practices have changed with new
innovations and connectivity with other continental peoples. The concept has
totally changed from its core ideas, which is also favourable in terms of
meeting the current demand from society. From that point of view,
conventional farming walks along with innovations. During the 19th century
and earlier time farmers of the thorough world were capable of meeting the
demand of food by producing food in organic farming. In the current scenario,
growing organic food is no longer a viable way to feed the world's population
as the world's population grows. As a result, technological advancements
introduced innovative, resource-efficient, and long-term productive ways to
feed a population that had nearly doubled in size. Mechanized farming,
fertilizers and chemical pest control systems have contributed to higher yields
for a larger population. These farming methods became ingrained in what we
now refer to as "conventional" farming (Melissa, 2003).23
The Green Revolution transformed the country from a food-deficit state
to self-sufficiency during the early 1970's, but the avails of green putsch were
reviewed and found that it has led to serious negative impacts on genetic
diversity, incidence of pests, soil erosion, soil fertility, water shortage,
micronutrient deficiencies, soil contamination and availability of nutritious
food for the local population. Ultimately, the farming society of the Indian has
been experiencing rural impoverishment the displacement of huge numbers of
small farmers from their land and increased tensions and disputes (Sebby,
2010).29
After perceiving the harmful effects of chemical farming, newly
introduced agriculture farming technique among the farmers is low cost
natural farming means for all the crops, thereby decreasing the cost of
production. The economic survey of 2018-19 made fervent appeal for adoption
of low cost natural farming (LCNF) in a big way to double farmer's income and
it was subsequently endorsed by the Hon'ble Finance Minister during her
budget speech in the parliament. Organic farming, Biodynamic farming, Homa
Jaivik Krishi, Rishi Krishi, Panchagavya Krishi, Natural farming, Permaculture,
LEISA farming, Natueco farming, Homa farming, Yogic farming and other eco-
friendly and farmer-friendly alternative farming systems are based on nature
and implemented to protect soil and environment degradation, protection
from the hazardous side effects of chemical methods, such as magnification,
pollution, carcinogenic elements, food poisoning and so on.
In the current scenario, the scientific community, ecologists,
policymakers and economists make special efforts to reduce the environmental

2.2.1 Beejamrut
Beejamrut, an organic, was used to treat seeds prior to sowing in order
to improve germination and protect young roots from fungi, as well as soil-
borne and seed-borne diseases. Local cow dung- a powerful natural fungicide,
cow urine- a potent anti-bacterial liquid, lime, water, and soil are among the
ingredients.

2.2.2 Jeevamrut
In the plant system, Jeevamrut, an organic product, has the ability to
promote growth and provide immunity. Jeevamrut is made up of four different
ingredients: cow dung, cow urine, chickpea flour, and jaggery.
2.2.4 Panchagavya
Panchagavya is a Sanskrit word that means "five cow items." The
fermentation process uses five cow products, as well as a few other natural
ingredients, as the name implies. It is important to note that all cow products
must come from a desi cow. Cow dung, cow urine, milk, curd, jaggery, ghee,
ripe banana, tender coconut and water were used in the experiment to make
Panchagavya.

3.1 Yields
In the comparative evaluation, in the Rabi season, results showed that
various farming modules manifested considerable influence on crop yields
(Table 3). Remarkably higher grain yield (4930 kg/ha) and straw yield (6704
kg/ha) of wheat were recorded under conventional farming in comparison to
organic farming and significantly the lowest wheat yields were recorded under
low cost natural farming. The result was supported by long term experiment
study as well as diverse cultivars of wheat in all wheat growing continent
under the similar treatment condition (Mäder et al., 2007; Kitchen et al., 2003;
Van Stappen et al., 2015; De Ponti et al., 2012 and Fagnano et al., 2012).21, 17, 34, 9,

3.3 Economics
As earlier mentioned, the experiment was conducted in a conventional
farming plot, that’s why we haven’t considered the premier price for LCNF and
OF, but after the conversion period, production form OF and LCNF should get
higher prices. The findings of Rabi season presented in Table 5 shows that
maximum gross returns (USD 1354.33/ha), net returns (USD 781.79/ha) and
B:C ratio (2.37) were accrued with conventional (CF) due to sufficiently supply
of essential nutrients and proper pest and disease control helps get higher
output as compared to organic (OF) and cow based supplements (LCNF).
However, the net returns, minimum gross returns and B:C ratio were achieved
with Module-I (LCNF).
During summer, an evaluation of the data (Table 8) showed that
maximum gross returns (USD 1928.04/ha) and net realization (USD
1381.76/ha) were obtained under the growing of chemically treated sole
groundnut and sesame (CF), followed by Module-II, which included
biofertilizer, vermicompost, FYM, Panchagavya and biopesticides (OF).
Whereas, the lowest gross returns and net returns (USD 1341.04/ha and USD
843.87/ha) were observed with crops grown under the low cost natural
farming (LCNF).
In the course of the Kharif season, the findings (Table 11)
demonstrated that module-III that involved application of industrial chemicals
like NPK fertilizers, fungicides, insecticides and herbicides (CF) resulted in
higher gross returns (USD 2395.97/ha), net returns (USD 1782.27/ha) and B:C
ratio (3.90), followed by the application of biofertilizer, Panchagavya, FYM,
vermicompost and biopesticides (OF) and application of cow based
bioenhancers and botanicals (LCNF).
Maximum gross and net returns were obtained under the CF. This
might be attributed to the higher economical and biological yield of crops with
32
4th International Conference
comparatively less cost than additional income under this module. The
minimum gross returns and net returns were achieved under the LCNF, which
might be due to variation in the economical and biological yields of crops.
These results are similar to those of Chaurasia et al. (2014)8, Behera &
Rautaray (2010)4, Singh et al. (2018)31 and Lyngdoh et al. (2019).20

4. Conclusion
With the evident of three-season field experimentation, it may be
finalized that conventional farming system comprised of mineral fertilizers,
FYM and pesticides was found superior as compared to organic farming and
low cost natural farming for obtaining higher yields of major field crops along
with higher net returns shows slight improvement in soil physical and
chemical properties although it was just one year experiment which was
conducted under medium black calcareous clayey soil of South Saurashtra
Agro-climatic Zone of Gujarat.

Arunachal Pradesh exist a huge diversity of flora and fauna. The local
aonla fruit trees found in wild as well as domesticated. It is a minor potential
fruit crop of Euphorbiaceae family. Aonla is commonly cultivated in subtropical
regions of India but its cultivation in Arunachal Pradesh is scarce. To find out
an elite genotype from the different regions of Arunachal Pradesh, the present
study was carried out at College of Horticulture and Forestry, CAU-I, Pasighat,
Arunachal Pradesh. The districts like Papumpare, Upper Subansiri, Namsai and
East Siang were selected for the collection. From these four districts, total 30
genotypes were collected and evaluated for fruit nutritional composition. The
genotype G24 exhibited the highest (12.3 oB) TSS content and G1 showed the
least (8.07 oB). Maximum titratable acidity was recorded in genotype G1
(3.2%) and the lowest was in G5 (0.6%). The carbohydrate was in the range of
70.30 % to 79.57 % among the thirty genotypes. The highest amount (8.85%)
of total sugar was noted in G24 while the genotype G14 exhibited the
maximum starch content. The genotype G29 showed the maximum amount of
vitamin C (540.8 mg/100g). The overall study concluded that the genotypes

of climate change the world is facing due to global warming, considered as one
of the primary cause. In future we may face big crisis that will affect all life
forms on earth. Climatic system of our earth such as warming of ocean, air and
land, rise in sea levels. melting of glaciers has changed or altered due to climate
change. Extreme weather conditions are the area of big concern. There is a
significant contribution of Biotechnology in climate change mitigation and
adaptation to environmental changes. Greenhouse gas emissions can be
reduced by the use of products developed with agricultural Biotechnology
Research programs are continued to develop different ways to draw excess
carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere with trees and use of microorganisms
and their products. Industrial biotechnology, based on renewable resources,
can save energy and significantly reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. It holds
much greater promise for the future by avoiding the use of fossil raw materials.
In various industrial sectors there is an involvement of enzymes and microbes
in making biobased products. The feedstocks are biomass of agriculture and
organic waste materials also including waste waters. Nanotechnology based
products are involved or engaged in the production and use of renewable
energy such as biofuels and decreases the use of fossil fuels and decelerate
global warming. Dyes, heavy metals and other pollutants in wastewater
streams are also degraded with the help of Nanotechnology. Since a range of
nanomaterials has been reported to absorb greenhouse gases, thus may help to
reduce global warming and are a part of solution to climate change.

In India, in every home various milk and milk products like Peda, Burfi,
Shrikhand, Gulabjamun, etc were consumed during joyful occasions or festivals.
Among all the dairy product Kheer is one of the simplest product which is
prepared in every home during festivals. The Kheer is given the position of
“Amrit” in Indian culture. The developed Kheer is prepared with replacement
of rice with Sanwa (Barnyard Millet). Because Sanwa has so many health
benefits to human as it has low glycemic index, high in protein, iron and full of
fibers which gives fullness after eating hence consumption of Sanwa is good for
those people who are suffering from disease like obesity, celiac, etc. Also in
many states Sanwa is preferred as “Fasting Food” due to its high content of
fibers. Now-a-days there is trend of flavors and Rose which is king of flower
and it has typical rosy flavor along with antioxidant and fiber content. Hence in
the above developed product rose petal powder is used due to its high
nutritional value accompanying with flavor.
Keywords: Milk, Kheer, Sanwa (Barnyard Millet), Rose petal powder, Sensory

Cereal-based foods are the staple food and main source of carbohydrate
for human worldwide but in general they lack significant amount of protein,
Lipid, vitamin, minerals and phytomedicine. Rice is the staple food crop for
people of North East region. People of this region experiencing malnutrition,
this is because of over reliability on rice as staple food and inability to consume
nutrient rich fruits and vegetables due their poor economic condition (National
Family Healthy Survey 2015-16). The COVID pandemic has brought much
required focus on nutrition. It has been reported that micronutrients play
synergistic role in boosting immunity. More over productivity of rice and maize
in this region is very low and cost of cultivation related to labour, fertilizers,
further higher dose of chemical fertilizer due to low nutrient use efficiency and
use chemicals for plant protection measured polute soil, water and air. Hence
crop diversification is the right alternatives to facilitate Nutritional and Food
security to resource poor farmers and natural farming.
Suitable alternative crops which can replace or substitute the regular
food crops should have certain desirable characteristics, such as being
nutritious, nontoxic and sustainable. Plants which were domesticated early in
the course of human evolution can serve as alternatives due to their reasonably
good yields without any of the modern agricultural inputs, such as fertilizers
and pesticides.
Buckwheat is among various ancient cultivated species of Asia and it is
mainly cultivated in India, China, Nepal, Canada, North Korea, Bhutan, Eastern
Russia, Mongolia and Japan. In northeast India it is mainly grown in Arunachal
Pradesh and Sikkim. Buckwheat contains higher amount of protein (12%), Ca
(110mg/100gm), Fe (4mg/100gm), Mg (390 mg/100 gm) and Potassium (450
mg/100 gm) which is much higher than the major cereals. It doesn’t contain
gluten protein and therefore it is useful for celiac disease patients. Buckwheat

protein is presumed to reduce serum cholesterol, suppress gallstones and
tumours and inhibit the angiotensin I- converting enzyme. Rutin a flavonoid
present in buckwheat prevents oedema, coronary artery disease and also has
anti carcinogenic properties.
The crop can be grown in varied climatic condition, ranging from sub
tropical to temperate zone of upto 4500m. Buckwheat is one of the best crops
in higher altitude in terms of climatic variables, water stress regimes, unfertile
soil and freezing temperature and is easily fitted to different cropping pattern
due to short life cycle of 3 months. In a year this crop can be grown thrice. This
crop can extracts phosphorus from the soil of low availability. It has a higher
tolerance to soil acidity than any other cereal crops; it can tolerate soil pH
levels as low as 4.8. These crops are more efficient users of water and soil
nutrients. Besides, they are more tolerant to various abiotic stresses, such as
drought, and are also resistant to multiple diseases and pests. Hence, these
crops are more suitable for sustainable agriculture. However, the yields of
these orphan crops are comparatively less than the major crops due to the
intensification of agriculture led to a drastic decline in their cultivation and
lack of breeding efforts to develop higher yielding varieties. Worldwide buck
wheat yield reduced around 64% and area reduced around 65%. Similar
trends are also followed in north eastern states.
So considering theses facts we have started collection and
characterization of local germplasm/landraces from different parts of N.E
region. So far we have collected 23 local land races of buckwheat from different
parts of the region and DUS testing of the germ plasm is already been done. In
initial evaluation it is found that the buckwheat CHFBW3, CHFBW6 and
CHFBW9 yield much more than the check variety Shimla-1 and VL-7. In
addition to that, for main streaming of the crop different awareness, training
and seed distribution programme organized in different parts of Arunachal
Pradesh. As a result of these efforts a local farmer Mr. Ojing Mengu was able to
earn an income of Rs. 12000 in a single season in Mirswam village of East Siang
District.

The soil of the experimental field was well drained, sandy loam in
texture and slightly alkaline in nature. It was low in organic carbon and
available nitrogen but medium in available phosphorus and potassium. Three
irrigation levels viz., I1 (at CRI stage), I2 (at CRI, Booting and Milking) and I3 (at
CRI, Late tillering, Late jointing, Flowering and Milking stage) and I4 moisture
conservation practices (Application of pusa hydrogel @ 5 kg/ha, Vermi-
compost @ 1t/ha, pusa hydrogel @ 5 kg/ha+Vermi-compost @ 1t/ha and no
application) were tested in split plot design with 3 replications. Results
revealed that the highest total nitrogen (105.22 and 97.48 kg/ha), phosphorus
(23.05 and 20.94 kg/ha) and potassium (141.96 and 138.41kg/ha) uptake was
recorded with 5 irrigations followed by 3 irrigations during first and second
years, respectively. Besides, this treatment also gave highest nutrient uptake
by crop along with maintaining the soil fertility and moisture status. Thus, in

The review work was done to know the how Global Climate Change
risks to Global Forest Health and it was noticed that the 21st century witnessing
alarming global warming from rapid industrialization, extensive use of fossil
fuels; higher rate of deforestation and other anthropogenic activities
accelerated the greenhouse gas (GHGs) accumulation reaching to more than
417 ppm in 2022 in the atmosphere at higher than before. It is creating the
beginning of the climate cliff makes earth biodiversity survival battle line short.
Both natural as well as anthropogenic causes viz., Drought, insect and pest
attack, variation of rainfall pattern, wildfire, loss of sea ice, melting glaciers and
ice sheets, sea level rise, and heat waves etc., are alarming due to higher
frequency, severity, intensity, duration and timing. Because of these changes
the stable earth balance is moving to imbalance earth making global warming
tipping points. The cascading effect of climate change leading to stress tree
physiology, asynchrony in phenology, growth of insect and pest, wild forest
fire, shifting of species habitat, mass extinction of species, effect to carbon
cycle, hydrogen cycle, forest structure, species composition, change in
proportion of forest in various successional stages and forest ecosystem
services. It was also evidenced that the current negative effects will dwindle if
temperature rises 20 C. Hence, global forest health is under threat leading to
declining the productivity of forests and trees. Among the different parameter,
the drought leading to tree mortality across the globe in drastic manner in USA,
Canada, European countries and other parts of the world. Apart from these, the
species specific niche model is altering making the unsuitable habitat for
important key stone of flora and fauna. It was also noticed that survivability
and habitat of invasive species like Lanntana camara, Chromolaena odorata
were enlarged. And the elevated temperature is threat to dioecious plants,
failing to meet pollinators: mechanism of phenological asynchrony and
negative impact on plant reproduction. Hence the global climate change

on in-field markers, such as foam, to maintain constant application and is
appropriate for small fields with predictable shapes. Adopting high-tech
horticulture methods will benefit our nation by supplying food and nutritional
security while also enhancing the economic standing of farmers. Hi-tech
horticulture is potent instrument for enhancing crop output and has the

The present experiment was conducted during the year 2021-22 in the
Research farm of Horticulture Department, NU:SASRD to find out the effect of
organic liquid fertilizers viz., Effective micro-organisms (EM), Indigenous
Effective micro-organisms (IEM) and Jeevamrutha on the growth, flowering,
corm production, soil fertility status and plant nutrition behaviour of gladiolus
(Gladiolus grandiflora L.). The experiment was planned in a Randomized block
Design (RBD) with 8 treatments. The results revealed that the maximum spike
length (89.62 cm), number of florets per spike (10.47) and number of corms
per plant (1.76) were received under Treatment T3, i.e. application of IEM (500
ml activated IEM m-2). Application of EM recorded the earliest days to
sprouting (6.83 days), for spike initiation (68.48 days), first floret opening
(74.24 days) and harvesting of spikes (7.91 days). Maximum plant height
(108.09 cm), self life (9.35) and vase life of spike in distilled water (11.17) was
recorded in Treatment T6, i.e. 50% RDF + 50% IEM. The nitrogen and
phosphorus content (4.33% and 0.011%) in index leaves was highest in T 2
(EM) and T3 (IEM) respectively. In corms, highest nitrogen content (3.08%)
was in RDF and phosphorus content (0.016%) was in T3 (IEM). Highest
available N (961.71 kg ha-1), available P (61.96 kg ha-1) and available K (516.50
kg ha-1) in soil after harvest was obtained with T2 (EM). The highest organic
carbon content (2.81%) was recorded in T5 i.e., 50% RDF + 50% EM. The
maximum benefit:cost ratio was observed under treatment T3 (1:2.46), i.e.
application IEM in comparison with the other treatments. T3 (IEM i.e. 500 ml
activated IEM m-2 exhibited the highest net income (₹ 676,653) and benefit cost
ratio (2.46). The results proved that EM and IEM are promising organic liqiud

Day by day the world population is increasing the need for food and the
need to feed an expanding population can both be met with crop improvement.
From an agronomic perspective, these biotechnologies are now crucial
components of breeding plans for numerous important crops. The
development of haploids and Double haploids, which have become attractive
biotechnological tools, has had a considerable effect on farming systems. While
haploids are plants with a gametophytic chromosomal number, doubled
haploids are haploids that have undergone chromosome duplication. Haploid
and doubled haploids (DHs) are generated during gametic embryogenesis in
order to develop entirely homozygous lines from heterozygous parent plants.
The effectiveness of double haploid production depends on a number of
variables, including the stage of floral part development, the culture medium,
the genotype, the growing conditions of the donor parents, and the haploid
detection methods. Homozygous inbred line development, a shorter breeding
cycle or time, improved genetic purity, an effective population for QTL
mapping, marker development, and an expedited marker-assisted breeding
programme are all made possible by double haploidy. The most effective
methods for obtaining haploids and DHs are isolated microspore culture or in
vitro another culture. As a result, DH technology plays a significant role in
quickening the breeding programme. The most effective methods for obtaining
haploids and DHs are isolated microspore culture or in vitro another culture.

Climate change has always been of great concern. There have been
countless documented impacts of climate change on the ecosystem. There are
numerous ecological systems that have been impacted by climate change and
global warming. Coastal flooding, localised flooding, biodiversity loss, heat
stress, harm to the marine ecosystem, extreme weather conditions due to
changes in seasonality, an increase in the number of glacial lakes and their
enlargement, warming of rivers, lakes, and oceans are just a few of the effects
of these changes in the climate system. Nanotechnology entails the production
of tiny particles that improve their biological efficacy as well as their physical
and chemical properties. These nanoparticles may be referred to as
nanomaterials or nanoparticles (NPs) if at least one dimension is between 1
and 100 nm. Through the use of nanoscale devices, these nanostructures can
be used to address a variety of issues in numerous sectors. Nearly all
significant industries, including those in agriculture, the environment, energy,
food, medicine, catalysis, and material science, are under the purview of
nanotechnology. Nanomaterials/nanoparticles/nanostructures, due to their
nano size (approximately 1–100 nm) exhibit extraordinary physical, chemical
and biological properties. Nanotechnology deals with the design, production,
manipulation and application of nano structured materials. The broad
categories of advanced nanomaterials (viz. super, smart, active
and swarms nanomaterials) . Environmental nanotechnology (E-nano) based
products may be used for environmental remediation applications.
Environmental nanotechnology (E-nano) deals with the manufacture,
manipulation, and characterisation of structures, instruments, and systems by
regulating the size and form to nano level dimensions. Processes based on
nanotechnology are used to cure harmful substances and contamination (such
as water pollution). A sensor is a device that has the ability to recognise,

India ranks second in the world for the production of fruits and
vegetables. APEDA reports that India is the world's top producer of vegetables
like ginger and okra and ranks second in the world for vegetables like potatoes,
onions, cauliflower, brinjal, and cabbage. India is the country that produces the
most fruits, including bananas, papayas, and mangoes. The top fruit-producing
states in India are Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and
Madhya Pradesh, which together account for around 56% of the nation's total
fruit production. On the other side, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat
and Madhya Pradesh are the top vegetable growers in India, collectively
accounting for almost 56% of the country's production. Even with such high
output levels, there is still a 25-33% post-harvest loss of goods due to their
very perishable nature and short shelf lives. The lack of adequate
infrastructure for post-harvest management (PHM) and the processing of
commodities is the main reason for post-harvest loss. Only by managing,
processing, and marketing agricultural commodities properly can these losses
be kept to a minimum. In India, there is a tremendous potential for processing
fruits and vegetables into products including frozen (IQF), canned, pulp, puree,
paste, sauces, snacks, dressings, flakes, dices, dehydration, pickles, juices,
slices, chips, jams, and jellies. Fruit and vegetable processing is a major
industry in India. India exported processed foods worth Rs. 41,460.06 billion in
2021–22, including products like mango pulp (Rs. 924.54 billion), processed
vegetables (Rs. 3986.45 billion), cucumber and gherkins (prepped and
prepared), processed fruits, juices, and nuts (Rs. 3626.08 billion), jaggery and
confectionary (Rs. 2797.85 billion), and cocoa products (Rs. 1145.48 billion).
India offers a large opportunity and is prepared for a significant retail
revolution. India has the least amount of small organised retail market
saturation and worldwide market competition.

sustained for several reasons, one of which was the exhaustion of genetic
variability leading to decline in the magnitude of heterosis in single or double
crosses. Maize breeders all over the world, now realized that in order to
increase the yield of hybrids, it is essential to increase the yield level of base
populations for Inter-varietal and inter-racial crosses thus indicating an
alternative to break the genetic ceiling and opening a way to further
improvement in yield. So, to break the present day yield barrier and maximize
and magnitude of heterosis, the base-germ plasms should be developed and
utilized from genetically diverse sources so that intra-population heterosis
may aid the inter-population or population x variety heterosis, boosting the
magnitude further. So, in order to find out if a higher magnitude of heterosis
one could go for, inter –population or population x variety crosses. With that
contention, new populations composed from diverse genetic sources
possessing balanced intra-population heterosis, were crossed among
themselves to break the heterotic ceiling. It was quite interesting to note that a
mean heterosis as high as 48% was obtained in such population x population
crosses .This heterosis also corresponded to the highest per se performance of
the crosses which out yielded the best released check by 14 to 30 per cent. It
therefore, indicates that high per se performance and high heterosis expression
in the population x population crosses.

adopting climate-smart techniques, farmers can reduce production costs and
improve profitability.
In conclusion, innovative approaches in horticulture offer tremendous
potential to double farmers' income. By leveraging advanced technologies,
diversifying crops, adding value, promoting collaboration, and adopting
sustainable practices, farmers can overcome income constraints and create a
thriving horticultural sector. Policymakers, agricultural extension services, and

The present experimental material consist of four CMS lines and nine
testers which were crossed in line x tester mating design to estimate the
standard heterosis over the check LSFH-171 for seed yield in sunflower. The
resulting 36 hybrids and 13 parents along with check viz., LSFH-171 were
evaluated in randomized block design with three replications at Agricultural
Research Station, Yavatmal. A broad range of heterotic variation observed for
seed yield and it was ranged from -40.61% to 68.90% standard heterosis
over check LSFH-171 for seed yield per plant. 10 hybrids displayed positive
and significant heterosis over the standard check LSFH-171 and top three
hybrids viz., ARM – 250 A × PKV- 103 R, CMS- 17 A × PKV-106 R and ARM –
250 A × PKV-106-R manifested highest magnitude heterosis over the standard
check LSFH-171 for seed yield. Hence, these identified hybrids could be use for
exploitation of heterosis after evaluating and testing with large multilocations
trials.

The present study aimed to analyze the growth and instability index of
wheat export from India. The study depends on secondary data which was
collected from APEDA website for the year 2011-12 to 2021-22. The
compound annual growth rate analysis and Cuddy Della Valle Instability Index
was employed for analysis of growth rate and instability index of wheat
exported from India. The results revealed that the growth rate of quantity and
value of export of wheat from India showed negative growth of 8.25 per cent
and 4.72 per cent, respectively, which was insignificant. It was mainly due to
surplus production of wheat in global market and domestic prices have been
higher than that of international prices. The instability indices for export of
wheat from India is positive in both quantity (106.42) and value (113.94) and
lies in the range of above 30 which showed high instability in quantity and
value over the period of eleven years. It indicates high risk in export of wheat
from India in future.

fourth, respectively. The three dimensions with the highest scores on the Nutri-
PDS effectiveness index were accessibility, level of contentment, and cost
savings. The effectiveness of PDS was significantly impacted by the
accessibility of services, the level of customer satisfaction, and the
expenditures made. Focusing on these dimensions can improve the
effectiveness of existing PDS in other regions to combat malnutrition. The
highest-scoring criterion for attributes indicating the costs associated with
PDS's smooth operation and ability to reach poor people in order to meet their
dietary needs was the operating cost. The ranking of exclusive allocation as the
second-best attribute on the Nutri-PDS effectiveness index suggests that PDS is
widely accessible in the study area. In spite of the fact that beneficiary
satisfaction received the lowest score on the Nutri-PDS effectiveness index,
indicating inadequate quality assurance from PDS, dissatisfied beneficiaries
were discovered in the study area.

The global community has been thrown into chaos by the COVID-19
pandemic. It was originated in China and rapidly expanded throughout the
world. The COVID-19 pandemic is a national health emergency that threatens
economic development. Different countries are adopting different steps to halt
the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The Indian government has ordered a
nationwide lockdown in an effort to encourage social distance. Schools,
colleges and universities everywhere are on indefinite hiatus because of the
pandemic. The entire schooling system has been called off by this. Making
decisions on the educational system is fraught with difficulties for
policymakers. Online learning is supplementing traditional classroom
instruction. There have been many challenges for kids, educators and parents
as a result of this shift in pedagogy. This abstract explores the educational
repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Skill development was stunted when
people miss out on school and learning was disrupted due to lack of access to
e- learning solutions by people of underprivileged sectors of the nation. The
closing of schools, colleges and universities has an effect on students education
as well as on internal and external credential evaluations. Online education has
largely supplanted the more conventional classroom setting. While there is no
doubt that children benefit from this innovative approach to education, there
are also many problems associated with it. Everyone's first concern is the
epidemic's impact on jobs. Recent graduates concerned that employers would
rescind job offers due to the economy. The lockdown in India has also
influenced changes in pedagogy at colleges and institutions. The chalk-and-talk
method has been supplanted with modern electronic communication. While e-
learning systems have made it easier to teach and learn in this context, low
levels of student involvement are a major drawback. Students' learning-related

internal assessment cannot be ignored. It ought to be postponed. To prevent
new graduates from experiencing a prolonged period of unemployment, new
policies should be developed to facilitate their entry into the workforce.
Policymakers were attempting to address the digital gap and increase student
involvement. Hence long-term crisis management in the Indian education
sector requires a multi-pronged approach.

infections
Choutuppal, India
In today’s times, there is a high need of natural agents which can control
contamination and inhibition of growth of pathogenic strains causing infections
in food products, whether the same are harvested from fields or cooked for
consumption. With the increasing demand of such agents and preservatives, the
people get prone towards different chemical agents conventionally available in
the market. With the tremendous usage, the results of such chemical usage is
also generating disaster by causing several health issues and availability of
chemical residues in the environment for many years. The present study is the
strengthen activity for production of NATURAL PROPIONIC ACID AND SALTS
and its application in preservation of food and bakery products. The attempt
was done to optimize the natural medium composition for the growth of
Propionibacterium sp for production of propionic acid and salts via submerged
fermentation in significant concentration and further producing the finished
product in powder form for the studies in bakery to study the preservation
potential and shelf life/stability studies of the bakery products. The results of
the study were quite interesting as the Natural Propionic acid in comparison to
conventional chemical gents enhances the shelf life to 21 days of bakery
products and controls the mold infections to a significant extent.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one the major legume cultivated crop of
rabi season in India and the third most important crop in the world. Legumes
play a crucial role on nitrogen cycling by the symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
Current agricultural practices mainly rely on chemical fertilizers and pesticides
to increase productivity and nutritional security after green revolution.
Evidently, these practices enhanced crop yields but at the same cost calamitous
deprivation of natural resources and become a matter of great concern for
many people in the world from past few decades. In anxiety, over these
problems in sustainability of agriculture and environment provoked to
revaluate the modern chemical farming systems and seek appropriate
alternative agronomic practices to ensure more sustainable food production
and environment maintenance. In addition, organic matter content shows
decline trend over the decades in India. Under present conditions,
sustainability cannot be achieved without the intervention of the soil
microbiome, which serves as an indispensable part of the rhizosphere. With
this concern, study was conducted during rabi 2022-23 at SOAS, Malla reddy
university, with following randomized block design and replicated thrice. The
treatments were T1 -100% Recommended dose of nutrients; T2-100%
Recommended dose of phosphorous and potassium; T3 -150% Recommended
dose of nutrients; T4 -150% Recommended dose of phosphorous and
potassium; T5 - 100% Recommended dose of nutrient + Rhizobium inoculation;
T6 - 100% Recommended dose of phosphorous and potassium + Rhizobium
inoculation; T7 - 150% Recommended dose of nutrients + Rhizobium
inoculation; T8 - 150% Recommended dose of phosphorous and potassium +
Rhizobium inoculation; T9 -Rhizobium inoculation; T10 - Absolute control. Based
on results, more dry matter production, nodulation and seed yield (22.8 q ha -1)
was observed with T5 treatment. Similarly, more economics (Net returns- Rs.
147
Malla Reddy University, Hyderabad and Just Agriculture Education Group

Recommended dose of nutrient + Rhizobium inoculation. Thus, adoption of
100% Recommended dose of nutrient + Rhizobium inoculation gives
sustainable productivity and better economics.

The present study was conducted during Rabi season of 2021-22 at the
Student Instructional Farm of Chandra Shekhar Azad University Agriculture &
Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh with the objectives to find out suitable
fertilizer dose with bio-fertilizer on growth and yield of mustard crop. The
experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design with three
replication. The experiment was comprised of sixteen treatment combinations
in which four levels of nutrient management viz., Control, 75% RDF, 100%
RDF, 125% RDF and four bio-fertilizer viz., Control, Azotobacter @10 ml kg-1
seed, PSB @10 ml kg-1 seed, Azotobacter @5 ml + PSB @5 ml kg-1 seed. The
result showed that among the different recommended dose of fertilizers,
applied of 125% RDF gave significantly better growth attributes, yield
attributes and yields in compared to control, 75% and 100% RDF, respectively.
The percentage increment of 125% RDF over no nutrients supply, 75% RDF
and 100% RDF were 38.51%, 19.75% and 10.95% in respect of grain yield,
38.98%, 16.84% and 9.38% in stover yield, 35.16%, 17.60 and 9.80% in
biological yield and 2.38%, 1.73% and 9.80% in harvest index, respectively.
Among the different levels of bio-fertilizers, application of Azotobacter @5 ml +
PSB @5 ml kg-1 seed gave significantly higher growth attributes, yield
attributes and yields in compare to all rest, respectively. The increment
evaluated in grain yield (24.27, 14.62 and 7.29%), straw yield (25.80, 12.81
and 6.42%) in biological yield (26.74, 13.31 and 6.62%) and in harvest index
(1.93, 1.09 and 0.60%) over control, Azotobacter @10 ml kg-1 and PSB @10 ml
kg-1 seed, respectively. Therefore, higher growth attributes, yield attributes
and yields of Indian mustard were achieved by application of 125%
recommended dose of fertilizer and inoculation with Azotobacter @5 ml + PSB
@5 ml kg-1 seed over rest treatment, respectively.

Food Production System Transforms Rural
Economy

Assistant Professor, Kumaraguru Institute of Agriculture, Erode.
Kerala, leads the nation in terms of sex ratio, literacy rate, and human
development index. The State has advanced recently as a viable location for
ecotourism, information technology, etc. The State economy is held back by the
rural economy, which is primarily agricultural. Since the agriculture sector in
Kerala has undergone substantial structural changes, its contribution of the
GSDP has decreased from 36% in 1991–1992 to 10% in 2017–2018. Due to
population pressure, expansion of the secondary & tertiary sectors, agricultural
land is being converted across the state for the construction of homes,
businesses, roads, hospitals, and other institutions, which reduces the net area
sown in the state. Kerala has a low basis in terms of food production, as seen by
the diminishing percentage of agriculture in its gross state product. Kerala has
always been a consumer state that relies on its neighbours to supply it with
food. To meet its daily food needs, Kerala continues to rely on its neighbouring
states, mainly Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Due to its low foundation of
food production, Kerala now faces a severe issue in terms of food security.
Due to the whims of weather and market volatility, agricultural
performance can vary from year to year. Despite having distinct and varied
agro-climatic conditions in several places that allow it to cultivate a wide
variety of crops, the state's agricultural legacy is not comparable to that of
other states. Kerala's agriculture industry has a lot of potential, but it faces
many obstacles to expansion. Since the State's founding in 1956, the
agriculture sector has undergone significant development. However, a sizable
portion of the rural population still relies on agriculture for both employment
and subsistence. The steady conversion of agricultural land in Kerala from food
crops like rice and tapioca to plantation crops like rubber, coconut, cashew,
and coffee is one of the most significant shifts that have occurred. This shift to
high-value crops is mostly the result of food crops like rice, tapioca, and lentils
being less remunerative in comparison to the more popular commercial crops;
currently, Kerala's cropping pattern is dominated by cash crops.
The state's formerly prosperous agrarian society had been observing a
gradual change in farming over the previous years. In Kerala, the area
156
4th International Conference

using agricultural land for non-agricultural reasons has increased Kerala's food
security concern and made the food scarcity crisis worse.
However, agriculture plays a key role in the economy because it is
necessary for the rural population's subsistence and the food security of vast
numbers of people. Even if Kerala ranks highly in terms of educational
attainment, access to healthcare, and beneficiary awareness, it will be
challenging to accomplish the goal of a hunger-free Kerala until the nutritional
security of the most vulnerable groups of the population is addressed. Food
security and agricultural production stability are strongly correlated. In order
to achieve food security, it is necessary to address supply chain management
and agricultural output stability in addition to providing food subsidies. Food
and nutrition security are inextricably linked since only a food-based strategy
can aid in eradicating malnutrition in a way that is both socially and
economically viable. Since food production is a major factor in determining
food availability, it serves as the foundation for food security. Without a doubt,
Kerala is in serious difficulties, and in this situation, it is very difficult for the
state to protect the resources for future generations.
In order to attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of no
poverty, zero hunger, and decent health and well-being, agriculture is a crucial
sector for the economy. The State must concentrate on output, productivity,
and profitability to meet the SDG targets and ensure the sustainability of
agriculture in light of the shrinking size of agricultural land holdings. Kerala is
a consumer state where there is an imbalance between access to goods and
purchasing power. Despite having greater purchasing power, people cannot
easily get food because of agricultural inefficiency. Even though Kerala has a
persistent food shortage, there is a large disparity between the supply and
demand for food grains, especially rice, which is the population's main source
of nutrition. Because cereals are Kerala's primary source of calories and
proteins, the production gap in food grains is more significant.

Dr. Ch Kiran Kumar
Assistant Professor, College of Horticulture, Parvathipuram, Dr YSR Horticultural
University, Andhra Pradesh
Developing site specific IPNS packages for various crops especially for
vegetables warrants attention to achieve the goal of balanced nutrition so as to
avoid nutrient mining in soil, enhanced productivity, fertiliser use and
profitability. A perusal of the data on the maximum and minimum yield and N,
P and K uptake obtained from NPK treated plots revealed that the maximum
yield and uptake of N, P and K was obtained with N240P120 K180 along with
vermicomost @ 10 t ha-1 in strip III with initial soil test values of 255, 42.0 and
264 kg ha-1 of available N, P and K respectively. Integrated plant nutrient
management is the smart use of optimum combination of organic, inorganic
and biological nutrient sources in a specific cropping sequence and climatic
situations so as to achieve and to sustain the optimum yield and improve or to
maintain the soil’s physical, biological and chemical properties. The results
indicated that higher fruit yield could be achieved through integrated supply of
nutrients from different sources. The integrated use of fertilisers with organic
manures might have enhanced the organic matter in soil that would have
increased the fruit yield and availability of plant nutrients The findings of
present investigation showed that vermicompost as a part of IPNS and initial
soil fertility had profound effect on fruit yield and N, P and K uptake by hybrid
brinjal.

Agriculture plays a vital role in the global economy and sustains the
livelihoods of millions of farmers worldwide. However, farmers often face
various challenges that hinder their income growth and overall prosperity. We
examines strategies to double farmers' income in the 21st century, focusing on
innovative approaches and technological advancements. The study emphasizes
the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach to address the complex
issues faced by farmers. The first key strategy involves enhancing agricultural
productivity. Farmers can achieve this through the adoption of modern
farming techniques, precision agriculture, and improved irrigation practices.
Leveraging technological advancements like drones, sensors, and satellite
imagery can enable farmers to optimize resource allocation, monitor crop
health, and make informed decisions, ultimately leading to increased yields.
Another critical aspect is diversifying income sources. Farmers can explore
agroforestry, livestock rearing, and fish farming, alongside their traditional
crop cultivation, to mitigate risks and generate additional revenue streams.
Value addition through processing, packaging, and branding can further
enhance profitability, allowing farmers to capture a larger portion of the value
chain. Access to credit and financial services is crucial for farmers' income
growth. Governments and financial institutions should design and implement
farmer-friendly policies, including subsidized loans, insurance coverage, and
risk mitigation mechanisms. Furthermore, promoting farmer-producer
organizations and cooperatives can empower farmers to negotiate better
prices, reduce input costs, and access new markets, enhancing their overall
bargaining power. Additionally, investing in rural infrastructure is imperative.
Upgrading transportation networks, storage facilities, and market linkages can
help reduce post-harvest losses, ensure timely access to markets, and enable
fair price realization. Providing farmers with training on modern agricultural
practices, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy equips them with the
necessary skills to adapt to evolving market demands and manage their
161
Malla Reddy University, Hyderabad and Just Agriculture Education Group
enterprises effectively. Doubling farmers' income in the 21st century requires a
comprehensive approach that encompasses technological advancements,
diversification, financial inclusion, infrastructure development, and human
capital investment. Governments, policymakers, and stakeholders must
collaborate to create an enabling environment that supports and empowers
farmers, ensuring their sustained economic growth and improved livelihoods.

The review work was done to know about the importance of biochar
and their application in forestry. Nowadays, biochar is gaining more attention
because it considerably replaces fertilizers and enhances nutrient use
efficiency. It also helps in carbon sequestration, which ultimately helps to
mitigate climate change. Biochar is a product produced by the thermal
combustion of organic matter such as plant residues in the absence of oxygen,
by the process known as pyrolysis. Biochar can be made from a variety of
organic materials, such as tree branches, grasses and agricultural waste, it has
a long-life cycle, applying it to soil to store carbon (C) has been suggested as
one method of reducing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Biochar has recently
been widely used on arable land, not only for C storage in soil, but also to
enhance the physical, chemical and biological aspects of the soil, hence it will
be boosting the crop productivity. Biochar provides great opportunities to turn
the green revolution into sustainable agro-ecosystem practice, it can replace
the fertilizers by improving the soil organic matter, which can be secured by
biochar soil management for the long term. Application of biochar can improve
soil fertility and nutrient use efficiency. Using locally available and renewable
materials in a sustainable way biochar can be produced. Adoption of biochar
management does not require new resources, but makes more efficient and
more environmentally conscious use of existing resources. The importance of
biochar in carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change is adding biochar to
soils has been described as a means of sequestering atmospheric CO2, it
decomposes much more slowly and more stable than biomass. Diverting only a
small proportion of this large amount of cycling C into a biochar cycle would
make a large difference to atmospheric CO2 concentrations, but very little
difference to the global soil C storage. Diverting merely 1 percent of annual net
plant uptake into biochar would mitigate almost 10 per cent of current
anthropogenic C emissions. These are important arguments to feed into a
policy discussion. The production of biochar will lead to waste to wealth.
Keywords: Biochar, Pyrolysis, Nutrient use efficiency.

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is an important and most widely grown fruit
crop of both tropics and subtropics of the world, belonging to the family
Caricaceae and ranks third in importance among fruits. Papaya fruits lose their
market value due to damage caused by many fungi. Fruit rot caused by
Fusarium incarnatum adversely affects fruit quality, quantity and ultimately
reduces market value. The fruit rot of papaya causes enormous yield losses,
often in field and markets. Detailed investigations on various aspects were
carried out in present study during 2019-20. The papaya fruits showing typical
characteristic symptoms of fruit rot were collected from Pachkandil vegetable
market, Dhule. Infected fruits exhibited water-soaked spots at stem-end
portion, showed softening and mummification of fruits. In severe cases, rotten
fruit showed white creamy growth of pathogen. The pathogen was isolated by
standard tissue isolation method and purified by single spore technique.
Pathogenicity of fungus was proved by following Koch’s postulates. The fruit
rot causal fungus was got identified by AGHARKAR RESEARCH INSTITUTE as
Fusarium sp. aff. F. semitectum Berk & Ravenel (Current name- Fusarium
incarnatum (Desm.) Sacc.) (ID.NO.3/426/2019/MYC/1135).
Morphological studies of F. incarnatum (=semitectum) revealed
macroconidia were spindle or sickle shaped with or without blunt ends and
microconidia were pyriform to oval or round to oval shaped. Chlamydospores
were globose, intercalary, solitary or in chains and 6-11 µm in diameter. In
cultural studies, maximum radial growth of fungus on Oat meal agar medium
with excellent sporulation, followed by Potato dextrose agar. In vitro
evaluation of bioagents and botanicals, revealed that Bacillus subtilis and garlic
extract @ 5% and neem seed kernel extract @ 10% showed highest mycelial
growth inhibition of test pathogen. In fungicides, carbendazim 12% +
mancozeb 63% WP (0.2%) and hexaconazole 5% EC (0.1%) completely
inhibited mycelial growth of test fungus. Host range studies revealed initial

Soil, a secret resource that is essential to our life, is found beneath our
feet. However, constant deterioration poses a threat to this essential resource.
This issue requires immediate attention, which has generated a wave of
innovation in sustainable soil management techniques. This fascinating
abstract explores the effective strategies used by researchers and professionals
to stop soil erosion and protect the earth underneath us. Numerous options are
being investigated, ranging from ground-breaking conservation agricultural
methods to creative precision farming methods. We explore the
transformational effects of agroforestry and cover cropping, which not only
improve soil health but also protect entire ecosystems, by harnessing the force
of nature. As we go further, we learn more about the function of soil additives
like organic matter and biochar, releasing their ability to restore soil fertility
and structure. Modern soil monitoring systems give us crucial information on
the condition of our soils, enabling us to make wise decisions and put focused
interventions into place. We accept traditional knowledge and indigenous
traditions with a nod to the knowledge of our ancestors, fusing it with current
science. We also investigate the numerous opportunities for soil restoration,
which may revitalize previously deteriorated landscapes through remediation,
reclamation, and rehabilitation activities. The essence of our race against time
as we work to preserve and care for the soil, the base upon which all life
depends, is captured in this abstract. As we set out on a quest to discover the
secrets of sustainable soil management, we aim to inspire optimism for a
prosperous and resilient future.

Cancer is the main cause of death in the global and the exalted rate of
mortality demands a global challenge to discover potent anticancer drugs. In
the present study, we synthesized a series of Naphthalene bearing Chalcone
derivatives and characterized using1H NMR, 13C NMR and LC-MS spectral
analysis. The cytotoxic outcomes have been determined through MTT assay for
all synthesized compounds against human cancer cell lines. Mechanistically, d1
compound showed potent anticancer activity against SKBR3 cell line with IC50
value 5.17µM. Besides, it was discovered that d1 incited the mitochondrial
apoptotic pathway by controlling Bax and Bcl-2 transcripts by expanding the
Caspase 3 activation and the inhibition of MAP kinase signalling cascade via
ERK, P38 and JNK inhibition in the western blot analysis confirms that
compound d1 has potent MAP Kinase inhibitor. Supporting this, we have
analysed in-vitro adversary of tumor development and anti-angiogenic
activities of d1 in Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) mouse model.
Mechanistically, compound d1 treatment inhibited the tumor development and
extended the life efficacy of EAC animal without any symptoms in normal mice
as revealed in Histopathological examinations. The study reveals that,
compound d1 could be the potential anticancer drug that explored its
significant tumor-inhibiting ability even in low concentration both in vivo and
in vitro conditions.

millet. The FPO movement in Rajasthan was started in 2009. Being the largest
area, farmers have to travel a long way to sell the crops and buy agricultural
inputs, which increases the cost to the farmers and reduces the profit. Hence,
FPO is a good option to solve this problem where farmers buy & sell their
crops, agricultural products & inputs collectively through Farmers Producer
Organizations and the cost of transportation is reduced; and farmers can get
good price through grading, packaging, and labeling of their products, which
ultimately increases the income of the farmers. This paper would through light
on how FPOs are playing a vital role in the empowerment of farmers by
doubling their income and paves the way to deal with the associated challenges
hindering the process of empowerment.

Fodder shrubs and trees (browse) play a significant role both in farming
systems, where they are protected as fallow species, and in livestock
production. A field experiment was conducted to assess the growth and
productivity of fodder tree species with intercrops under agroforestry systems
in Northern Transitional zone of Dharwad region of Karnataka in India during
2018-19 and 2019-20 in kharif and rabi seasons. The fodder plantation was
established in 2014 with seven fodder tree species with a spacing of 5m × 3m
Viz.,1.Calliandra calothyrsus, 2.Albizia lebbeck, 3.Leucaena leucocephala,
4.Sesbania grandiflora, 5.Gliricidia sepium, 6.Moringa olifera, 7.Bauhinia
purpurea and 8. Sole Field Crops (soybean and safflower). The experiment
was conducted with Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications.
Among seven fodder tree species evaluated under agroforestry systems, the
highest MAI in volume of wood was reported in Moringa olifera (5.042 and
5.625 m3 ha-1) followed by Leucaena leucocephala (4.414 and 4.880 m3 ha-1).
Gliricidia sepium produced the highest MAI in total tree biomass (4.18 and 4.90
t ha-1) followed by Moringa olifera (3.81 and 4.25 t ha-1) as compared to other
fodder tree species studied. The pooled data of 2018 and 2019 reported
maximum green fodder yield recorded in Calliandra calothyrsus (474.17,
586.07 and 429.46 kg ha-1) followed by Leucaena leucocephala (444.26, 555.33
and 388.73 kg ha-1) which varied significantly from other fodder tree species at
all the stages of pruning intervals. Total fodder yield recorded for the year
2018 and 2019 showed significantly higher values of green fodder yield which
were recorded in Calliandra calothyrsus (1462.89 and 1516.52 kg ha-1
respectively) followed by next best fodder tree Leucaena leucocephala
(1365.88 and 1410.75 kg ha-1) for the year 2018 and 2019 respectively which
varied significantly from other fodder tree species. The maximum per cent dry

matter production recorded in T1 - Calliandra calothyrsus + FC (50.01, 51.05
and 52.03 %) followed by T3 - Leucaena leucocephala + FC (47.13, 48.20 and
49.24 %) at all the stages of pruning intervals. There was a gradual increase in
dry matter from rainy to spring and winter seasons in all the fodder tree
species examined. Green tree fodder yield was positively correlated with light
interception (0.544) at 5 per cent significant level and negatively correlated
with light transmission ratio (-0.383). Hence, these agroforestry systems have
an additional role of improving socioeconomic status of farming community
providing them additional income.

Role of ICT as a technology dissemination in fish
production
The fisheries sector plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security
and supporting the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. India is the
third largest fish producing country in the world and accounts for 7.96 percent
of the global production. In recent years, the integration of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) plays a vital role in the fisheries sector to
dissemination of technologies and collecting the information through various
modes, like Television, Radio, Mobile, mass media channels, Global Positioning
System (GPS), GPRS, Echo sounder, Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR),
Search and Rescue Transponder (SART), Automatic Identification system (AIS),
Distress Alert Transponder (DAT), and Internet enabled PC, Radio Detection
and Ranging (RADAR), Community Radio, portal, Very High frequency wireless
sets (VHF). For identifying vessels, Internet of things (IOTs) and tracking
supply of products technologies like Barcoding, Vessel tracking devices and
supply chain tracking software were valuable. Fishing communities in marine
sectors were advised through Indian Marine Fishery Advisory System which
helps in identification of PFZ for effective and sustainable fishing. E-Commerce
activities supporting vast fisheries market chain with websites and
applications such as marinefishsales, Fisher Friend, Daily fish etc. Database
regarding fisheries resources are crucial for sustainable development and
conservation. Repository like Fishbase, Reefbase and WIOFish provides direct
access to relevant resources. Social networking software and applications like
Instagram, Twitter, Whatsapp, Face Book messenger, YouTube etc. are the
fastest means for transfer of information through ICT like as capture fishing,
marketing of raw fishes and value added products, disease management and
advancement in aquaculture practices. It concluded that ICT has emerged as a
powerful tool in the fisheries sector to contributing the improved resource
management, increased production and productivity, enhanced the market
linkages, understand to the challenges in fish production, knowing market

Exploring Exogenous Melatonin as a Biostimulant:
A Promising Approach to Enhance Abiotic Stress
Tolerance in Horticultural Crops for Sustainable
Agriculture
Haobijam Sanjita Devi
College of Horticulture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal, Sikkim, Bermiok-
737134 India
Horticultural crops face numerous challenges due to abiotic stresses,
such as drought, salinity, and temperature fluctuations, which significantly
impact their growth and productivity. The search for effective and sustainable
strategies to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops has led to
the exploration of exogenous melatonin as a biostimulant. Melatonin, a
naturally occurring hormone in plants, has been found to play a crucial role in
regulating various physiological processes, including stress responses. This
article aims to review the current research on the potential of exogenous
melatonin as a biostimulant for improving abiotic stress tolerance in
horticultural crops, with a focus on sustainable agricultural practices.
Studies have demonstrated that exogenous melatonin application can
enhance the antioxidant defense system, alleviate oxidative stress, and
modulate the expression of stress-related genes in horticultural crops under
abiotic stress conditions. Melatonin has also been found to regulate stomatal
behavior, improve water use efficiency, and enhance photosynthesis efficiency,
thereby mitigating the adverse effects of drought and high temperature stress.
Furthermore, exogenous melatonin application has shown promising results in
mitigating salt stress by regulating ion homeostasis, osmotic adjustment, and
improving the overall salt tolerance of horticultural crops.
The potential benefits of exogenous melatonin as a biostimulant extend
beyond stress tolerance enhancement. Melatonin has been reported to enhance
seed germination, root development, and nutrient uptake efficiency in
horticultural crops, thus contributing to overall plant growth and development.
Moreover, the use of exogenous melatonin has shown to increase crop yield
and improve fruit quality attributes, including increased antioxidant content,
prolonged shelf life, and enhanced nutritional value.
The exploration of exogenous melatonin as a biostimulant represents a
promising approach for sustainable agriculture. By harnessing the potential of
201
Malla Reddy University, Hyderabad and Just Agriculture Education Group
melatonin to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops, farmers
can reduce their reliance on chemical inputs, minimize environmental impacts,
and promote the development of resilient and productive crop systems.
However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the exogenous melatonin-
mediated abiotic stress response require further elucidation. Additional
research is necessary to optimize application methods, determine appropriate
dosages and timing for exogenous melatonin, and evaluate its long-term effects
on crop performance, soil health, and ecosystem sustainability.

Prior research has shown that most of the people rely solely on the
physical characteristics i.e. taste, colour and smell to judge the quality of water.
They are also ignorant about the recommended practices to ensure potability
of water. Thus, the present study was conducted with the objectives to assess
the adoption of recommended practices related to safe handling of water by
women along with the reasons for adoption or non-adoption. The study was
conducted in the rural area of Ludhiana district of Punjab, India. Data were
taken from 200 women by a self-structured interview schedule. The practices
of safe handling of water were divided into three major practices i.e. quality
testing of water, purification of water and safe storage of drinking water.
According to the study's findings, only 19 per cent of respondents regularly
tested the quality of their household water one in six months. Nearly all of the
respondents had not tested the TDS and pH level of their water due to lack of
knowledge about the importance of these tests for drinking water. Seventy per
cent respondents reported to purify their water before consuming. People
need to be aware about the significance of water TDS level for installing RO
purifiers because the use of an RO purifier emerged to be the commonly
adopted method of water purification without considering the prerequisites
for installing it. This was followed by boiling method as a common practice of
water purification but chlorination method was unknown to the respondents.
Users of plastic water storage containers made up 77.5 per cent of sample
mainly due to ignorance of the ill effects of plastic on health (44%). Lack of
information among the respondents was the main barrier to the majority of the
advised practices being adopted. Thus, there is a need to educated people
about recommended drinking water handling practices at the household level.
This can be achieved by using a variety of extension strategies, including
interpersonal, ICT-based, etc. Additionally, the reasons for adoption and non-
adoption of recommended practices discussed in this study may be useful to

The present study was conducted using the ‘Ex-post facto’ research
design during 2021-22 to examine the economic performances of sugarcane
growers under different crises conditions. The Belagavi and Bagalkot districts
were purposively selected where 21 per cent yield gap but leading sugarcane
producers in Karnataka. Further, vulnerable to crisis situations like price crisis,
floods, and droughts. Through multistage proportional sampling, two
sugarcane growing blocks from each district were selected. From each block six
villages were selected based on crop complex approach and their distance from
river basin. Data was collected from 80 head-reach, 80 mid-reach and 80 tail-
end farmers constituting to the total sample size of 240 distributed in twenty-
four villages through pretested structured interview schedule. The economic
performances were ascertained using multiple indicators of economic
performances. The results revealed that more than two-fifth of total sugarcane
growers belongs to the moderate (40.42 %) economic performance category
followed by poor (30.83 %) and better (28.75 %) categories respectively.
Further highlight is that majority (71.25 %) of sugarcane growers were under
the moderate to poor economic performance categories. The mean Crop Yield
Index of head-reach (95.46%) and mid-reach (98.77%) sugarcane growers was
lesser whereas tail-end sugarcane growers have better Crop Yield Index
(101.20%). The head-reach sugarcane growers have lesser mean cropping
intensity with 179.58 whereas mid-reach (204.84) and tail-end (214.84)
sugarcane growers possess better cropping intensity. Tail-end sugarcane
growers had better BCR (1:1.95) followed by mid-reach (1:1.93) and head-
reach (1:1.79). In overall, sugarcane growers possess gross income of Rs.
1,20,788.98 per acre. Tail-end (Rs. 59319.22 acre-1) sugarcane growers possess
better net-income than mid-reach (Rs. 57204.69 acre-1) and head-reach (Rs.
54209.77 acre-1) sugarcane growers.
Key words: Economic performance, Sugarcane, Net income, Crop Yield Index,

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of Farmer Field
Schools on farmer's adoption of ICM options for watermelon in the Ghat boral
village of Humanabad Taluk of Bidar District, Karnataka. Field surveys were
used to collect data from two Farmer Field Schools in the study area in the
2021-22 and 2022-23 growing season. All the FFS participants were used, i.e.
30 FFS-participants from each school. Equal number of non-FFS participants
(60) was used for comparison by using the simple random sampling technique.
The collected data were statistically analyzed and interpreted using
percentage, frequency distribution and chi-square test. The results showed
significant association between number of seasons of participation in FFS and
adoption of recommended ICM package components for onion by FFS
participants. It can be concluded that the FFS approach is very efficient in the
transfer of farm technology for melons farmers through their participation in
various activities of FFS schools. Thus, FFSs approach should be employed for
effective dissemination of crop management practices, share of authority of
extension organizations in coordination with FPO and FIGs. The FFSs activities
with farmer producer group for more effective participations of clientele in all
activities of the schools and more efforts should be exerted in providing of all
techno product critical inputs to farmers with reasonable prices through
concern FPO’s in order to decrease the extension gap and increase adoption of
need based technology for profitable crop production.

The viability of the rice-wheat cropping system is crucial for the future
of agriculture in the Indo-Gangetic plains of India. In the Northern Indian
states, burning rice residue in the field is the main source of greenhouse gas
emissions. Conservation-based crop residue management boosts the soil's
nutrient value and farmers' revenue. So, effects of in-situ microbial
decomposition of residue on wheat sown with a PAU Happy seeder under
nitrogen (N) management were studied at Ludhiana and Ladhowal, Punjab.
Experiment was laid out with three replications in split plot design, consisting
of six nitrogen management options to hasten the microbial decomposition i.e.
N1- no application of N i.e. control, N2- N120, N3- N120+ 3% urea spray on in-
situ rice residue after harvesting paddy, N4- N120 (25% of total N added
through FYM on rice residue just after paddy harvest and 75% N added
through urea to the succeeding wheat), N5- N150+ 3% urea spray on in-situ rice
residue after paddy harvest and N6- N150 (25% of total N through FYM and
75% N through urea to the succeeding wheat) in main plots and four microbial
sprays on in-situ rice residue after paddy harvest i.e. uninoculated control (M1),
Aspergillus sp. (M2), Delftia sp. (M3) and consortia (Aspergillus sp.+ Delftia sp.)
(M4) in sub plots. The bacterial population was found to be significantly higher
at 60 days after sowing when compared to different time intervals. When
compared to other treatments, N6 and M4 were found to have greater bacterial
populations at various time intervals. Better degradation process of paddy
straw was analysed using Scanning electron microscope (SEM). Hence, spray of
Delftia sp. on rice residue and treatment 150 kg N/ha along with 3% urea spray
after paddy harvest (N5) will help in enhance the microbial degradation
process of rice residue, higher spike length, protein content and productivity of
wheat.

A set of one hundred ninety diverse wheat genotypes along with four
checks were evaluated in two environmental conditions one in normal (Timely
sown) condition and another one in heat stress condition (late sown) in
augmented block design at research farm of Dept. of Genetics & Plant Breeding,
CCS University Meerut (UP). The data were recorded for fifteen morpho-
physiological characters. The result of analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed
that the adequate genetic variability present among the taken genotypes for all
the studied characters under both the environmental conditions. Further, the
mean values of all characters accept protein content, Canopy temperature
depression (CTD), Chlorophyll content and beta-carotene were lower in stress
conditions than the mean values in normal conditions. The magnitude of
genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) was lower than the corresponding
phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) for all the studied characters,
indicating that these all characters are highly influenced by the environment.
The characters viz. CTD, grain weight per spike, biological yield per plant, grain
yield per plant and tiller number per plant showed maximum PCV values under
both the condition. The estimates of broad sense heritability were recorded
maximum for most of the characters such as; grain weight per spike, biological
yield per plant, CTD and grain number per spike showed higher value of
heritability under both the environment, it indicated that all these characters
were useful for further hybridization programme. Genetic advance as percent
mean were recorded highest for canopy temperature depression, 1000- grain
weight, grain weight per spike, grain yield per plant and tiller number per plant
and also observed that late sowing reduce the biological yield as well as grain
yield under heat stress environment.

Sugarcane is a major cash crop grown in India and requires a long growing
season. The yield of sugarcane in settling transplanting method is affected by a
number of factors, including the settling growing medium used in nursery and
transplanting density in the field. The most common and traditional growing
medium is soil, but other materials, such as sand, cocopeat, and compost, can also
be used. Cocopeat is a good alternative to soil as a growing medium for sugarcane.
It is a lightweight, porous, and aerated medium The transplanting density is the
number of settlings planted per unit area.
The experiment was conducted at Sugarcane Research Centre, Kashipur
(G.B.P.U.A. &T. Pantnagar) during 2021-22 and 2022-23. The experiment was laid
out in a factorial randomized block design with three replications. Factor A
considered three settling growing medium, i.e., a1)- Sand+ soil+ compost mixture,
a2)- Cocopeat alone, a3)- Cocopeat+ compost mixture. Factor B considered five
settling transplanting density in different trench system, i.e., b1)- 37037
settling/ha (Single row transplanting at 30cm×90cm), b2)- 24691 settling/ha
(Single row transplanting at 45cm×90cm), b3)- 27778 settling/ha (Single row
transplanting at 30cm×120cm), b4)- 18520 settling/ha (Single row transplanting
at 45cm×120cm) and b5)- 24024 settling/ha (paired row transplanting at 45cm×
35-150 cm).
The pooled results showed that the settling growing medium and settling
transplanting density had a significant effect on different parameter. The highest
germination (90.6%), lowest mortality 6.1%), highest tillers count at three months
after transplanting (114.12 thousand/ha), NMC at harvest (99.55 thousand/ha)
and cane yield (105.62 tonnes/ha) was achieved with the treatment of Cocopeat +
compost mixture (a3). The treatment 18520 settling/ha (b4) followed by 24024
settling/ha (b5) was found significantly higher in NMC (98.38 and 96.52
thousand/ha respectively) and cane yield (106.44 and 104.50 tonnes/ha
respectively) as compared to other treatments. The significantly highest cane yield
(107.22 tonnes/ha) was recorded in the treatment of Cocopeat + compost mixture

(a3) at 18520 settling/ha followed by 24024 settling/ha i.e. 104.86 tonnes/ha (b5)
as compared to other treatments.
The results of this study suggest that the use of cocopeat + compost
mixture as settling growing medium in nursery and 18520 settling/ha (single row
transplanting at 45cm×120cm) and 24024 settling/ha (paired row transplanting at
45cm× 35-150 cm) as settling transplanting density in field can significantly
improve the growth, yield and yield attributes of sugarcane under trench planting
system in spring season. 24024 settling/ha as transplanting density proved to be
the best for the mechanization of sugarcane cultivation, as well as this method
brought down the cost of sugarcane cultivation drastically.

Tuber crops are the most important subsidiary or subsistence food and
nutritional crops in tropical and sub-tropical countries. It plays a vital role in
the dietary habits of small and marginal farmers especially in the food security
of tribal population. Tuber crops form the major component of the food of the
local Kunabi community people of Joida taluk. Tuber crops not only enrich the
diet of these people but also possess medicinal properties to cure many
ailments. Different tuber crops are being cultivated, consumed, processed and
marketed and which helps to generate income to the local people. A semi
structured questionnaire survey was conducted in five different villages viz.,
Chapoli, Ambarde, Katel, Godashet and Deriya of Joida taluk of Uttara Kannada
district to document the tuber diversity, season of availability and parts used
and marketing status etc.. The information related to different tuber crops
cultivated, their local name, scientific name, family, traditional knowledge,
methods of cultivation, uses and present status of tuber cultivation were
recorded. A total 24 cultivated tuber species belongs to eight families were
documented. The growth season for tuber crops varies depending on the tuber
species. The optimal time to plant tubers is between March and May and can be
harvested between October and December. They consume different parts of
tubers and more preference was given to tuber (68.34%), followed by the
petiole (13.26%), and leaves (18.37%). The utility pattern of tuber was
dominated by home consumption (31.4%) followed by marketing purposes
(28.7%), traditional usage (27.7%) and medicinal purposes (12.1%). Among
different tuber dishes majority of the local people preferred tuber for sambar
making (24.6%) followed by boiled tuber (22.1%), chips (20.2%), curry
(10.3%) and sweet of tuber was least preferred i.e 5.7% among all products.
Market cost of the tuber varies species to species. It fetches around 100-120 Rs
per Kg local market rate for the tubers.

Jack which is well known and widely available fruit in Western Ghats
during summer season belongs to Moraceae family. Jackfruit is multipurpose
tree which provides edible fruit used as a supplementary food. Different types
of value added products such as jack chips and jack papad can be prepared by
processing of jackfruit. Local people of Sirsi taluk involved in the value addition
business of jack. Hence the study was conducted in selected villages of Sirsi
taluk, to assess the value chain analysis of Artocarpus heterophyllus (Jack). A
semi structured questionnaire survey was conducted among the different value
chain actors of the selected villages of Sirsi taluk to understand the key
characteristics of value chain actors and economic link between them, steps
involved in jack value addition, cost benefit involved in the value addition were
assessed during study. The results revealed that, value addition of jack chips
and jack papad includes four different value chain actors viz., Fruit collectors,
processors, marketing agencies and online marketing basements. Among these
value chain actor’s fruit processors were identified as most benefited group in
both jack chips and jack papad making business. The Benefit:Cost ratio for
processors was found to be 0.15:1 and 0.12: 1 for jack chips and jack papad
respectively followed by marketing agency (0.1:1 B:C ratio) for the products.
Value addition of jack fruit was found to be viable business and creates a good
source of secondary income to the local people residing in and around Sirsi,
where jack fruit availability was plenty.

Micronutrients Role in Crop Production and
Human Health
*M. Balakrishna, K. Gopal and T. Thulasiramireddy
Dr. YRHU, College of Horticulture, Anantharajupeta, Annamayya District, A.P.
The mineral elements like Zn, Fe and Cu are as crucial for human health
as organic compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, protein and vitamins. The
daily dietary intake of young adult ranges from 10-60 mg for Fe, 2-3 mg for Cu
and 15 mg for Zn. Intake less than these values can cause slow physiological
processes. These micronutrients deficiencies in soil are not only hampering the
crop productivity but also are deteriorating produce quality. High consumption
of cereal based foods with low contents of micronutrients is causing health
hazards in humans. The contents of micronutrients in food can be elevated
either by supplementation, fortification or by agricultural strategies i.e.,
biofortification and application of micronutrients containing fertilizers. Food
fortification and supplementation are too expensive, not practical to be applied
on large scale and not easily accessible to poor masses. The development of
micronutrient efficient genotypes can be a successive tool to overcome the
micronutrient disorders in soil and for improvement in human health.
However, the harvesting of micronutrient enriched grains from field would
mine out more micronutrients. The cultivation of these genotypes can be
integrated with the application of micronutrients containing fertilizers.
Addition of such fertilizers will not only correct the deficiencies but also
improve the fruit size and quality of crops. In general, 2-5 kg Zn ha-1 may be
adequate for improved crop production, however, soil applied Fe is generally
ineffective except for Fe-sequestrine. Repeated sprays of Ferrous sulphate
(FeSO4) or chelated Fe cure the chlorosis and improve the quality of food stuff.
However, despite being highly cost effective, currently micronutrient use is
negligible.

Assessment of Nutrient management technologies
for Rice (Oryza sativa L.) to improve productivity
and quality through Nano-mediated fertilizer
approaches in Western U.P. conditions
Gajjela Indira and Vivek Dhama
Department of Agronomy, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel University of Agriculture and
Technology, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a cereal grain which is a staple food for nearly
half of the world’s population. It is a crop that contains a wide range of
nutrients such as starches, proteins, dietary fibres, nutrients and minerals.
With the increase in population attended by rising cases of malnutrition and
decreasing agricultural lands for crop production, an innovative strategy is a
must. Nitrogen- based fertilisers like urea, which have been instrumental in
increasing crop yields in India, are now turning into potent destroyers by
polluting land and water, affecting people’ s health and leading to climate
change. Nitrogen pollution is a serious matter of concern in the rice-wheat
growing tracts of Western Uttar Pradesh. This has had a serious adverse effect
on soil health leading to lower yields. What is needed now is rationalisation of
unbalanced use of nitrogen fertilizers and a balance between achieving food
security and the use of fertilizers. Nanotechnology offer an alternative solution
to overcome the disadvantages of conventional agriculture. It would be very
helpful if nano fertilizers are applied for specific crops such as rice to minimize
the potential negative effects brought about by the extensive use of chemical
inputs without compromising production and nutritional benefits. Utilization
of nanotechnology in the field of agriculture is still in its growing stage.
However, it has the potential to revolutionise agricultural systems particularly
where the issues on fertilizer applications are concerned. Therefore, balanced
and integrated application of nano nutrients, biofertilizers, bio stimulants and
inorganic fertilizers should be a key factor in order to achieve improved and
sustainable soil fertility and crop yield. The main idea to undertake this
research is to achieve a balance of nutrients in the soil without destroying the
beneficial soil microorganisms through use of Nano fertilizers and
Biostimulants. Rice growth, development and quality can be enhanced by
Nanofertilizer and bio-stimulant application which has the potential to
282

improve crop production and plant nutrition. This in turn can pave the way for
improved soil health and will address the environmental pollution and soil
health hazards raised by the use of conventional sources of nutrient
management in Western U.P. region.

population density, distribution, regeneration, and sustainable harvesting
levels. Often, the usable part of the plant as an NTFP consists of regenerating
plant propagules. Certification standards for NTFPs should incorporate specific
aspects, such as harvesting and collection practices tailored to each type of
NTFP. The certification process, with third-party verification, can address
several gaps in NTFP management, including resource inventory and dynamics,
regeneration status, sustainable harvesting and collection limits, protocols and
standards for non-destructive harvesting, primary processing, storage of
forest-derived products, and protocols for cultivation and good cultivation
practices. It is crucial to emphasize that NTFP certification should adhere to
ecological constraints and ensure social and economic benefits for local
harvesters, processors, and native communities.

Lately, released pesticide named kyro, it was the first sludge pesticide
on the request to combine the three active constituents like, acetochlor,
topramezone and clopyralid into one mixture. It’s a unique one to the request
that will help control toughest weeds, including glyphosphate and ALS
resistant weeds. With this, sludge growers are helpful for keeping their fields
clean late into the season to attain optimum yield implicit- and help and
alleviate weed resistance. It also gives some further benefits like, being a
important post emergence weed control, it combines three effective modes of
action for controlling more than 65 of the most delicate and resistant weeds. It
can give extended residual control at advance use rates. It majorly controls the
weeds like, waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, giant ragweed, marestail, barnyard
lawn, fall panicum and woolly cupgrass and it’s formulated with an reprised
acetochlor for excellent crop safety. Also, the lower crop response helps to
keep the crops healthy until crop for better yield potential. It can be applied to
the crop up to 24 elevation altitudinous for their operation programs. It also
can be used on traited and non traited sludge products, including seed and
popcorn. It’s compatible with a wide array of tank blend mates, including
atrazine, glyphosphate, pesticides, germicides and micronutrients. This allows
growers to completely customize their operations to their individual
requirements.

Fresh vegetables have a very short shelf life since these are subjected to
physiological and rapid microbial spoilage and in some cases contamination by
pathogens also. Processing or modification of raw foods by using food
processing methods and techniques is needed to meet the challenges of food
security and safety, nutrition demand and availability of food. Fermentation is
one of the important methods of preservation of vegetables. It is one of the
oldest means of food preservation and reduces the risk of food borne diseases
and food spoilage. Sauerkraut is a traditional fermented vegetable product and
is prepared by the fermenting salted cabbage by naturally occurring lactic acid
bacteria. Reduction of the consumption of sodium salt (NaCl) is widely
recommended for the prevention/treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The
WHO has set a global target of reducing the population salt intake from the
current level of approximately 10g daily to < 5g daily. The high sodium
consumption and insufficient potassium intake can lead to severe hypertension
and risk of cardiovascular disease, such as stroke and heart attack. Shalgam is a
traditional lactic acid fermented beverage that is produced at industrial scale in
Turkey and is well known throughout the country. The main ingredient of
shalgam is black carrot (Daucus carota var. L.) and for this reason shalgam is
characterized by a red colour, cloudy appearance and sour soft taste. It is
similar to ‘kangi’, a beverage very popular in several parts of India. Kimchi a
globally favored traditional Korean food, is manufactured through the
fermentation lactic acid bacteria of cruciferous vegetable ingredients (e.g.,
Chinese cabbage and radish) with flavoring agents such as red pepper, garlic,
and ginger.

Zinc (Zn) and Iron (Fe) are the essential components of the human diet.
Inadequate intake of Zn and Fe leads to micronutrient deficiency, which
develops symptoms like stunted growth, impaired cognitive and physical
development, reduced immunity and anemia. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a
vital legume crop with high nutritional quality and contains several macro and
micronutrients including high Zn and Fe concentrations. These micronutrients,
Zn and Fe are critical for resolving micronutrient deficiencies and promoting
human health. The aim of this study is the In-silico identification of candidate
genes associated with Zn and Fe content in chickpea seeds. In the present
investigation, whole genome re-sequencing data is being used to detect genetic
variants and putative candidate genes linked with seed Zn and Fe content. The
resequencing data is aligned to the chickpea reference genome using
computational tools, to discover the genetic variations related to Zn and Fe
concentration. Once potential candidate genes have been discovered, their
functional roles are being investigated further utilizing an array of
computational tools. Pathway enrichment analysis can offer information about
the biological processes and pathways in which the candidate genes are
involved. Simultaneously, orthologous genes in model organisms with well-
characterized Zn and Fe metabolism can be found using a comparative
genomics approach. These potential candidate genes could be useful targets for
future research and breeding efforts aimed at developing chickpea varieties
with improved Zn and Fe content. Furthermore, the use of genetic markers
obtained from these candidate genes can aid in marker-assisted selection in
chickpea breeding programmes, resulting in more efficient and targeted trait
improvement. These findings may aid in the production of nutritionally better

Dairy sector is most vital component of livestock sector contributing
about 5 per cent to national economy and it directly provides employment to
eight crore farmers. The livestock sector grew at a CAGR of 7.9 per cent during
2014-15 to 2020- 21 (Economic survey 2022-2023). India is the top milk-
producing country in the world, producing 221.06 million tonnes of milk
annually during the year 2021-22. The Punjab state contributing about 6.37
per cent of total milk production in country and with highest per capita
availability of milk (1271 gram/day). However, the milk production should be
expanded in order to meet the rising demand for milk. Approximate 60- 70 per
cent of total expenditure in dairy farming is on feed. The present study was
conducted on randomly selected 50 dairy farmers from Punjab, who were
personally interviewed at various Kissan melas, Pashu Palan melas, Trainings,
KVKs, seminars, awareness camps, regional centres of GADVASU and at their
door step. They were subjected to pretested semi- structured interview
schedule to study about overview of feeding practices. Analysis of data
revealed that 58 per cent and 42 percent uses of dairy farmers prefer self-
made concentrate feed and branded feed respectively. A large chunk of
farmers (48 per cent) follows different feeding practices for different age and
stage of production i.e different feeding practices for calves, heifer, lactating
animal and during gestation. Silage feeding and Hay feeding is being adopted
by only 48 percent and 12 per cent dairy farmers respectively. Only 36 per cent
dairy farmers had any formal training related to dairy farming. Majority of
farmers (62 per cent) faced problem in feeding due to lack of knowledge
regarding adequate nutrition and feeding practices. More than 50 percent
farmers complained about poor credit support, high cost of feed ingredients
330

and high cost of production of per litre of milk and low market price of milk.
The present study suggests that in order to ensure the production of high-
quality milk and the well-being of dairy livestock, it is crucial to provide
trainings and credit support to dairy farmers related to adequate feeding
practices.

Wheat is India's and the world's second most significant food crop. One
of the greatest challenges confronting wheat-growing countries is the rapid
depletion of water supplies. The purpose of this study was to see if using less
irrigation water will preserve the grain production of the wheat genotypes. The
intensive production of irrigated wheat on 30 million acres of land in India is
primarily responsible for the loss of groundwater supplies. These need
immediate technological interventions to boost wheat water productivity in
order to sustain farmer profitability. During 2021-22, 10 genetically varied
wheat genotypes were tested for high water productivity (WP) at low soil
moisture levels at 60% Cumulative Pan Evaporation (CPE). The restricted
irrigation treatments were implemented using a drip irrigation system to
ensure precise delivery of the estimated amount of water to the root zone.
Saving 20 and 40% water fewer than 80% and 60% CPE treatments,
respectively, saves 20% of the farmer's water cost spent on irrigating the
wheat crop, which is reflected as higher remuneration in the farm. WP was
found to be greater under deficit irrigation at 60% CPE compared to 80% and
100% CPE. This was owing to a less proportionate fall in yield under water
stress at 60% CPE, and the observation may be justified by the fact that excess
irrigation water hinders plant growth and, as a result, decreases grain yield.
The noted high WUE genotype could be a valuable resource for researchers
worldwide looking to develop water-efficient cultivars with high yield.

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the most important fiber crops
playing a key role in the economic and social scenario of the globe. India is one
of the major cotton growing countries in the world. India ranks first in area and
second in the total production of cotton in the world. Cotton is grown
worldwide for its natural fiber and oil. As cotton seed contains 30 per cent
starch, 25 percent oil and 16.20 per cent protein. Cotton is grown worldwide
for its natural fiber and oil. Cotton seed contains 30 per cent starch, 25 percent
oil and 16.20 per cent protein. It is also being used in the manufacture of
medicinal supplies, tarpaulin, cordage and belting. The cotton hulls serve as
roughage for livestock and the fuzz (short seed hair) is used in the manufacture
of papers, plastics, carpets, rayon, explosives and cotton wools etc. Looking to
the overall situation, it is felt necessary further to investigate its potential in
terms of morphology and cultural characteristics. In this experiment, effect of
different temperature on morphological and cultural characteristics of the
Corynespora cassiicola pathogen was studied. Result showed that at 30°C
temperature, there was the maximum dry mycelium weight (60.33mg) and
abundant (++++) sporulation was noticed. The size of conidia was maximum at
30°C (126.00 × 8.30µm) followed by 25°C (118.23 × 7.82µm) was recorded.
The cultural studies of C. cassiicola was made by growing single spore cultures
on PDA medium at various temperatures in vitro yielded the largest colony
diameter (90.00mm) at 30°C temperature.

Heavy metals are pernicious for human health and these contaminants
with quantities above permissible limit on entering the human body through
food chains may exhibit different hazardous symptoms. Thus, characterization
of heavy metals and their extent of distribution are critical for making
informed decisions to manage the soil resources. The study was conducted
emphasizing basically in high agricultural chemicals dependent Nagaon District
of Assam, India, from 2018 to 2021. Heavy metals were assessed using a
random sampling method with a 5 x 5 km grid, and a total of 160 samples were
collected from a depth of 0 – 15 cm for soil. Chloropleth maps were created to
show the distribution and hotspots of pollution. Geospatial analyses from
different thematic maps of heavy metals revealed significant vulnerable points
of elevated concentrations of Pb (>24.45 mg/kg ) and Cd (>0.31 mg/kg) in soil
which is presumed to be due to anthropogenic factors. The three-dimensional
trend over the distribution of metals throughout the district best fitted the
second-order polynomial for Cd, and Pb in soils. Significant numbers of pairs of
heavy metals to a certain extent were found to be spatially autocorrelated and
all the pairs away from X-axis towards the extreme right corner and far above
the axis reflected less influence of local characteristics of the heavy metal. Co-
variance cloud with search direction from North to South revealed the
existence of spatial autocorrelation revealing a wider spatial shift of
correlation towards the southern direction. The current study provides
baseline data to update the mitigation approaches to better manage the heavy
metal contamination in soil.

Global warming and climate change are the burning issues of main
concern in today’s changing world, which poses a major threat to the
ecosystem. The main causes of climate change include deforestation, volcanic
eruptions, ocean currents and emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from
industries. The greenhouse gasses are the major prime contributor for the
increasing temperature of the atmosphere. The amount of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere has increased since the beginning of the industrial age and this
increase has been caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and other
anthropogenic activities. Forest plays a vital role in mitigation and adaptation
to ongoing climate change. Forest’s ability to sequester carbon has gained
significant global interest as an affordable and effective approach to mitigate
climate change. Forests are the important part of ecosystem which provides
various ecosystem services, among which the most important one being carbon
sequestration. Forest Carbon sequestration is the process through which the
green plants absorb the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it
into living biomass through photosynthesis process and act as a major carbon
sink. The more carbon is stored and sequestered by healthy forest vegetation
than by any other terrestrial ecosystem. India’s forests are one of the richest
terrestrial ecosystems, which stores approximately half of the world living
terrestrial carbon and a very significant proportion is fixed in the form of
above ground biomass. The maximum amount of carbon is stored in soil
organic matter and later in living biomass, litter and in dead woods. Forest
biomass is an important variable for evaluating carbon sequestration and
carbon balance capacity of forest ecosystem. The major portion of the total
above ground biomass and carbon is accumulated within the large sized trees
and therefore, the removal of such trees from the forests will substantially
reduce the C-stock. The carbon sequestration potential of less disturbed forests
like Kaan forests or sacred groves is more due to less biotic pressure and
363

human interference. Therefore, effective terrestrial carbon accounting at the
regional level is crucial for mitigating global climate change and to understand
carbon cycle.

This study was conducted in the dry deciduous and moist deciduous
forests of Banavasi and Dandeli respectively, in Uttara Kannada district to
assess the impact of forest fire on soil physico-chemical properties during
2021-2022. Composite surface soil samples (0-30cm) were collected from two
vegetation types, two canopy density classes and three fire disturbance levels.
Tree regeneration was assessed by quadrat method.
Moist deciduous forest soils showed higher pH (6.36), organic carbon
(1.77%), organic matter (3.05%), available nutrients viz., N (203.50 kg/ha),
P2O5 (26.15 kg/ha), K2O (210.78 kg/ha), exchangeable Ca (4.86 meq/100g), Mg
(2.15 meq/100g) and micronutrients viz., Mn (3.66 ppm), Fe (4.79 ppm), Cu
(3.75 ppm), Zn (3.17 ppm). But bulk density (1.12 g/cc), particle density (2.13
g/cc) and porosity (47.42%) found lower. Soils under very dense canopy
showed maximum pH (6.31), organic carbon (1.98%), organic matter (3.41%),
available P2O5 (25.56 kg/ha), available K2O (211.73 kg/ha), exchangeable Ca
(4.55 meq/100g) and available S (18.61kg/ha). Bulk density (1.23 g/cc), pH
(6.55) and available P2O5 (25.12 kg/ha) increased in fire-affected soils while
porosity (46.05%), organic carbon (1.12%), organic matter (1.92%), available
K2O (188.49 kg/ha), available S (20.36 kg/ha) and micronutrients decreased.
Tree regeneration showed higher diversity in non-fire-affected areas, as
expressed by Shannon-Wiener (H = 3.06 and 3.10) and Simpson (D = 0.06 and
0.06) index, for both dry deciduous and moist deciduous forests respectively.

This study revealed that fire has a significant effect on soil physico-
chemical properties and tree species regeneration. Repeated fires might have a
higher negative impact on dry deciduous forests than moist deciduous forests.
Thus, better management practices are required to reduce the impact of forest
fire.

Through agriculture, people were able to produce more food than they
needed, use it in times of crop failure, or exchange it for other things. People
were able to work on jobs unrelated to farming thanks to food surpluses. On
the other hand, food waste is a major environmental and social problem
throughout the world. The food wastage index report from the United Nations
Environment Programme estimates that 68,760,163 tonnes of food or about 50
kilograms per person is wasted in Indian homes each year. These losses occur
throughout the supply chain, in homes, on kitchen tables, and due to a lack of
refrigeration and cold storage facilities. They also occur during shipping,
storage and marketing. Food waste is a careless act that adds to the garbage
burden, which puts additional strain on the waste management system and
ends up in landfills and water bodies. Women in India have historically been in
charge of managing household waste as a part of their everyday
responsibilities and research has shown that they are more interested in
domestic waste management and waste management services. Women are the
primary consumers of waste management services at the household level and
are involved in a variety of trash-related jobs. By recognizing their knowledge
and expertise, waste management operations can become more effective,
efficient, sustainable and fair. The minimization and separation of household
garbage is one area where women can lead immediately, but men also need to
get involved and take on a bigger and eventually equal share of household
responsibility for domestic waste management. Through waste reduction,
recycling and composting, this tactic can help reduce overall waste.
Additionally, it is crucial to support and encourage women's leadership, agency
and voices in waste management.

Fruit industry in India is growing at fast pace but its storage for long
time is still a big problem. Most of fruits can only be sent to the local market
because their transport to long distance is not possible because quality will be
decreased during transportation. The principal purpose of food packaging is
indeed to maintain the safety, wholesomeness, and quality of food. The factors
mentioned, such as the growing middle class, liberalization, and organized
retail sector, have contributed to the growth of the packaging industry.

different RNA concentrations and time to distinguish the color change between
control and treatment group. Further, for the validation of the developed assay,
milk was spiked with a known concentration of heavy metal (10µg/ml) which
was further diluted with media to produce the desired concentration of
treatment viz. 100, 200 and 300ng/ml for lead and 10, 100, 200ng/ml for
cadmium. These samples were then used to treat the cells, RNA was isolated
and used for LAMP. The LAMP reaction was then performed for different
treatment doses and time intervals and the color change was quantified by
means of RGB quantification using ImageJ software. Finally, RT-LAMP assay
was developed to screen Lead and Cadmium contamination in milk using
HepG2 cells even after 6 hours of treatment. This strategy can be further used
to estimate the amount of heavy metals (Lead and Cadmium) present in milk
by simply treating the cells with milk, then RNA can be isolated and RT-LAMP
can be performed. The standard curve prepared in the present study can be
used to extrapolate the amount of heavy metals in the sample by means of RGB
quantification.

Palaeochannels are the old river courses either buried or extinct due to
climatological, geological and geomorphological activities. The delineation of
the palaeochannels of Sarasvati and Drishadvati in the northern parts of
Haryana got a big boost by the discoveries of Harappan sites. Twelve
representative pedons from palaeochannels of Saraswati River from Haryana
viz., Ranipur, Yamunanagar (P1), Mugalwali, Yamunanagar (P2), Bansewala,
Yamunanagar (P3), Painsal-1 Yamunanagar (P4), Painsal-2 Yamunanagar (P5),
Mustafabad, Yamunanagar (P6), Ishargarh, Kurukshetra (P7) Mangna,
Kurukshetra (P8), Kaekor, Kaithal (P9), Birdhana, Fatehabad (P10), Farwai-1,
Sirsa (P11), Farwai-2, Sirsa (P12) were studied for different physical, chemical
and mineralogical characteristics of soils. Mineralogical assessment of the
surface samples showed the presence Quartz in all the pedons alongwith some
major silicate minerals such as Muscovite, Albite, Sodium silicate and some
fractions of Halloysite and Vermiculite. Quartz, feldspar and muscovite-mica
were the main minerals in the light sand fraction and opaque type of minerals
like zircon, tourmaline, augite, hornblende and biotite in heavy fractions of
sand. The soils of pedon 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and subsurface horizons of pedon 7 and
pedon 11 were having more SiO4. The SiO4 content was found to increase with
depth or exhibited no particular pattern which may be attributed to sediment
deposition. Al2O3 and Fe2O3 concentrations rose with depth, showing that
almino-silicates and ferro-magnesium minerals had weathered at the surface
and subsequently been enriched by leaching in the B-horizons. The irregular
distribution of CaO and MgO showed the lithological discontinuity and the
presence of Na2O and K2O showed the weathering of sodium and potassium in
feldspar minerals. The distribution of minerals and low degree of pedogenic
development was mainly due to the influence of preservation of sediment
sequences with less time and lower intensity of weathering in Ghaggar river
basin of Haryana and Punjab.

The effects of spacing, seed tuber size, and bio-inoculants on the yield
of marketable and unmarketable potato seed tubers are investigated in this
study. It investigates the impact of various planting spacing, seed tuber size,
and bio-inoculant efficiency on marketable and unmarketable yield of potato.
All those tubers that are diseased, rotten, insect attacked, deformed tubers and
under sized (less than 15 mm in diameter) were considered as unmarketable
tubers. It was found that Spacing, tuber size and bio-inoculant application
greatly impact the yield of marketable and unmarketable tuber size. The study
discovered that seed tuber size, spacing, and bio-inoculants all have an impact
on unmarketable tuber yield. Although closer spacing and larger seed tubers
increase the unmarketable tuber proportions, the efficacy of bio-inoculants
varied depending on inoculant and disease pressures. These findings assist
growers in optimising agricultural practises by employing proper spacing
configurations, larger seed tubers, and appropriate bio-inoculants to maximise
marketable yield while minimising unmarketable losses. The findings aid in the
optimisation of potato production practises by giving growers with advice to
boost marketable yield, reduce unmarketable losses, and improve tuber quality
and further helps in building sustainable and efficient potato crop farming
practises.

Humans and the environment are interconnected in many ways. Air,
water, land, sunlight, plants, and animals are all parts of the environment. The
interdependence of plants and animals. Without the other, neither can survive.
They fulfil each other's basic needs in a satisfying way. All animals release
carbon dioxide, which is one of the constituents in food for the plants, while
plants supply food resources for the animals. As a result, the planet cannot
function without a healthy ecosystem. Since humans are logical creatures, it is
their responsibility to preserve natural balance. But many human activities
have put the environment in danger in the name of development. Global
warming, pollution of the environment, climate change, natural disasters, acid
rain, resource depletion, extinction of some bird species, etc. are a few of the
major environmental concerns. Humans are to blame for these issues due to
their actions, which include population expansion that is out of control,
deforestation, industrial development, technical advancement, the creation of
contemporary communication systems, a lack of environmental awareness,
overfishing, etc. Even while these actions are essential to the advancement of
human civilization, they cannot in any way be disregarded. They are
controllable and can be done. For instance, to prevent population growth that
is out of control, we should adopt the policy of two children; deforestation
must be followed by reforestation; industrial wastes should be handled before
being released from factories; and we should use as few cars as possible for
transportation.

over rest of treatments except T9 which was at par with T10 in respect to
nitrogen and phosphorus uptake but in case of potassium uptake treatment T 7
is found to be at par with treatment T10. The potassium use efficiency was
significantly influenced by the application of different levels of zeolite and
potassium after harvest of maize. The highest potassium use efficiency
(92.50%) was observed in treatment T10 i.e., Zeolite @ 600 kg ha-1 + 100% K2O
of RDF (40 kg ha-1 K2O) over rest of the treatments except T9 i.e., Zeolite @ 600
kg ha-1 + 75% K2O of RDF (30 kg ha-1 K2O) with potassium use efficiency
(91.66%) was statistically at par with treatment T10.

By 2050, there will be more than 9 billion people on the planet, with
tropical areas home to half of them. There will therefore be a greater
requirement for food production. Poor farmer productivity and low income are
major issues in the SAARC countries. Hi-Tech Horticulture is a better option to
increase the production and productivity of horticultural crops and, as a result,
the revenue of farmers. The use of genetically modified (GM) crop varieties
derived from biotechnology and genetic engineering, micro-propagation,
integrated nutrient management, plant protection, protected cultivation,
precision farming, organic farming, mechanisation, use of modern immuno-
diagnostic techniques for quick detection of viral diseases, value addition, and
post-harvest processing are all examples of hi-tech horticulture. Hi-tech
horticulture is a contemporary, less dependent on the environment, and
capital-intensive technology. To maintain productivity and economic stability
for Indian farmers in the new era of climate change, hitech horticulture has
become essential. Various advanced propagation techniques, such as soil less
media, plugtray seedling production, propagation under insect proof net, and
tissue culture, etc., are the key hitech interventions for the production of
healthy, disease-free, and quality planting materials as well as raising the
productivity of horticultural crops. Because these nations have already
embraced hi-tech interventions in horticulture production, developed
countries have much higher horticultural productivity and farmer incomes
than SAARC nations. Various studies stated that high-tech horticulture
encourages horticultural crops to produce more and be more productive. Hi-
Tech Horticulture will be used in SAARC countries as a more scientific
technique to increase horticulture production and produce of higher quality,
which would ultimately assist double the farmer's income.

with treatment T6, T7 and T8. This might due to higher accumulation of
photosynthesis in leaves, stem and less crop weed competition. Treatment T10
recorded lowest plant height at 56, 84 and at harvest.
The mean number of leaves plant-1 was 3.60, 8.56, 9.55 and 9.58 at 26,
56, 84 days after transplanting and at harvest, respectively. The mean number
of leaves plant-1 was found to be increased progressively up to 84 DAT in crop
age. Maximum number of leaves plant-1 was recorded at 84 DAT. At 28 DAT
number of leaves plant-1gives non-significant response to different weed
management treatments. The difference in mean number of leaves plant-1 was
influenced significantly at 56, 84 and at harvest stages of observations due to
different weed control treatments. The mean number of leaves plant-1 under
treatment T9 was significantly higher than rest of treatments. However, at 56
DAT and at harvest it was at par with treatment T6, T7 and T8. At 84 DAT it was
at par with treatment T8. The lowest number of leaves plant-1 were recorded
from treatment T10. This might be attributed to more competition for light,
nutrients and space in the weedy check. Due to less crop weed competition in
weed free check, application of post emergence and ready mix post emergence
herbicide might have resulted in broad spectrum weed control during crop
weed competition period and there by less competition for light, nutrient,
moisture and space in the weed free environment.
The difference in mean neck thickness of onion was influenced
significantly at all the stages of observations due to different weed control
treatments. AT 56 DAT the mean neck thickness of onion under treatment T9
was significantly desirable than rest of treatments. At 84 DAT and at harvest, it
was at par with treatment T4, T6, T7 and T8. The lowest neck thickness of onion
recorded from treatment T10. This might due attribute to more competition for
light, nutrients and space in weed check environment.
The mean dry matter plant-1 was 4.10, 6.93, 10.64 and 17.89 g at 28,
56, 84, DAT and at harvest, respectively. The average dry matter plant-1 was
influenced significantly due to different weed control treatments. The mean
dry matter plant-1 under weed free check treatment was significantly higher
than rest of the treatments. However, at 28 DAT, 84 and at harvest it was at par
with treatment T8. At 56 DAT it was at par with T4, T6, T7 and T8. This might be
due to higher accumulation of photosynthesis in leaves, stem and reproduction
parts due to less crop weed competition. Less crop weed competition in
herbicide treatment attributed to broad spectrum weed control during critical
crop weed competition period due to application of post emergence and hand
weeding also resulted reducing the weed density and weed dry matter and
there with less crop weed competition.

The solar energy option has been identified as one of the promising
alternative energy sources for the future. Agriculture is the main source of
livelihood in India. One of the most commonly used methods for preserving
foods & agricultural product is drying. Sun drying is the most widely practiced
agricultural drying operation in India. The solar tunnel dryer consists of
different parts such as drying chamber, collector area and chimney. The drying
chamber is covered with UV-stabilized polythene sheet, which is available at
the local market. The solar tunnel dryer having semi cylindrical shape for
increasing absorption of solar radiation. The dryer are made to open and close
easily for the functions of spreading the drying product at the beginning of the
day and cleaning the absorber surface and trays. Base of the tunnel dryer is
covered with thermal insulation of one inch, in order to reduce the heat loss.
The initial moisture content in red chillies is found to be 75%. The experiment
on drying chilly is conducted in the solar tunnel dryer to evaluate the
performance of the dryer under loaded conditions under Front line
demonstration by scientists of ICAR KVK Raichur. The dryer is loaded at 9:00
am with 5 kg of chillies, by spreading the chillies inside in a single layer. The
process is continued with the required moisture content is achieved. The
ambient temperature during drying period varied from a minimum of 33.7:C to
a maximum of 44.5:C. The corresponding average temperature inside the solar
tunnel dryer ranged from 40.46:C to 62.9:C. It is observed that the
temperature achieved maximum inside the solar tunnel dryer is 30:C more
than the ambient temperature at 14:00 hours. This is due to absorption of
more solar energy inside the solar tunnel dryer and the prevention of heat loss
from the tunnel dryer.

All of the test ISR chemicals, applied as seed treatment and foliar spray
(alone and in combination) and the standard check fungicide Carbendanzim 50
% WP seed treatment @ 1g/kg seed were found to reduce significantly
soybean dry root rot incidence, over untreated control. However, the most
effective treatment found was Salicylic acid ST + it’s FS, with significantly
highest reduction in average mortality (92.90%), followed by Chitosan ST + it’s
FS (89.34 %), Salicylic acid ST (86.88%), β-amino butyric acid ST + it’s FS
(85.89%), Chitosan ST (82.63%), β-amino butyric acid ST (80.64%), Jasmonic
acid ST + it’s FS (77.62%) and Jasmonic acid ST (72.85%) and Carbendazim
(53.16 %).

Sixty crosses with thirteen parents and three checks viz., PKV-Hy-4,
NHH-206 and NHH- 44 were grown in Randomized Block Design with two
replications. The results showed that the tester AKH- 07R possessed the
highest GCA effect for the seed cotton yield per hectare and also exhibited high
GCA (in desirable direction) for the traits, number of sympodia, number of
bolls per, harvest index and cotton seed yield per plant. The line CAK 23 B
reported the high GCA effect to the traits, earliness index, number of bolls per
plant, boll weight, seed cotton yield per plant, seed cotton yield per hectare,
ginning percentage and fiber strength. The CMS cross, CAK 53A x AKH-07 R
possessed the highest SCA for the traits number of sympodia per plant, number
of bolls per plant, boll weight, seed cotton yield per plant also it showed
highest per se performance for the seed cotton yield per plant. From the
conventional system the highest SCA effect for the trait seed cotton yield per
plant observed for crosses CAK 23B x DHY-286-1R with high mean
performance. For the fiber traits in CMS, highest SCA for strength showed by
SRT-1A x R-2000-23 also high SCA for the traits upper half mean length. In the
conventional hybrids, CAK 53B x R-2000-23 exhibited the highest SCA effect
for the fiber strength also the high per se performance to the seed cotton yield.

A field experiment was carried out in 2019 and 2020 years at the
farmer’s orchard situated near Parbhani, in which inoculation of different
promising microbial isolates along with recommended dose of fertilizers to
estimate “effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacterial agents on yield of
guava grown on Vertisol”. The experiment was carried out with eleven
treatment (Ten microbial isolates and one uninoculated control) and three
replications and the design of experiment is randomized block design. The
laboratory stock cultures (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus lecheniformis, Bacillus
megaterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas
striata, Trichoderma viride. Trichoderma herzenium, Azotobacter chroococcum
and Azospirillum lipoferum) selected on the basis of their nutrient solubilizing
potential. Obtained result indicated that in the guava plant or row treated with
treatment RDF+ Pseudomonas striata shows higher number of fruits plant- and
average fruit weight followed by Trichoderma viride, Bacillus megaterium and
Azotobacter chroococcum over other treatments.
