Appraising relation between weather and Red gram yield estimates with
Regression Machine Learning Red gram is the second mostimportant pulse crop of India after Bengal gram . India accounts for 65 % global seed [4]. Its ability to produce high economic yields even under rainfed conditions and being an indispensable part of Indian meals due to high protein of 22.3 % further assumes significance in […]
RNA Interference (RNAi) Induced Gene Silencing To Enhance Crop Resilience
RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation, by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules, and leads to post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) which triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules to prevent the expression of specific genes [3]. RNAi is an important cellular mechanism for controlling the expression of genes, […]
On-farm Assessment of Site Specific Nutrient Management in Rainfed areas of Telangana
Introduction: From the green revolutionary period 1969 to 2022, the food grain production more than doubled from 98 million tonne (Mt) to a record of 316 Mt in 2021-22, while the fertilizer nutrient consumption increased from 16.6 kilograms per hectare in 1971 to 209.4 kilograms per hectare in 2020 growing at an average annual rate […]
Selection of Drought Tolerance Pearl Millet Hybrids for Arid and Semi-Arid region using the Stress Indices
Introduction Pearl millet [Pennisetumglaucum(L.) R. Br.] is a major warm-season cereal grown on 26 million ha in the arid and semi-arid tropical (SAT) regions of Asia (more than 10 million ha) and Africa (15-16 million ha). Pearl millet is a staple food for the majority of poor farmers and also an important fodder crop for […]
Trends of Area, Production and Productivity of Onion in Tamil Nadu
INTRODUCTION The Onion (Allium cepa L.) is the most important member of the Alliaceae family and one of the most important vegetables in the world. Onions are widely used in the preparation of many dishes. Therefore, the domestic market is large. Onions are preferred for their flavor and pungency. This is due to the […]
Influence of Blanching and Drying Methods on the Retention of Nutritional Quality of Dried Moringa Leaves
INTRODUCTION Moringa, Moringa oleifera Lam. belongs to the family, Moringaceae. It is also known as “Drumstick tree” and “Horse radish tree”. In India, it is cultivated in an area of 38,000 ha. Andhra Pradesh ranks first in cultivation in an area of 15, 655 hectares followed by Karnataka with 10,280 hectares and Tamil Nadu with […]
Effects of Genetic and Non-Genetic Factors on First Lactation Traits and Replacement Rate and its Components in Crossbred Cattle
Significance statement Livestock research is now directed towards the investigation of crossbreeding to enhance genetic potential under different ecological niches for different objectives and to transmit a sizeable proportion of genes for milk production. This research study may be helpful in the future for rural development programs at the national and international levels. These research […]
Influence of pre-harvest application of growth regulators on the yield and quality of Elephant Foot Yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius Dennst.)
Introduction Elephant foot yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius Dennst.) is one of the most profitable tuber crops grown in the subtropical and tropical regions of the world. It belongs to the family, Araceae. It has long been used as a local staple food after cereals and pulses in many countries such as the Philippines, Java, Indonesia, […]
Nutrient Uptake, Fibre Quality and Productivity of High-Density Cotton as Influenced by Drip Irrigation and Crop Growth Stage Based Fertigation Levels
INTRODUCTION With a total area of 13.47 million hectares and production and productivity of 36.06 million bales and 455 kilograms per hectare, respectively, India is the greatest cotton-growing nation in the world [6]. However, the fact that it is typically produced in rainfed conditions is one of the factors contributing to its poor productivity. […]
