Post-Harvest Screening of Pearlmillet, Pennisetum glaucum (Linn.) R. Br. Emend Stuntz.Varieties against Rice Moth, Corcyra cephalonica Staint.

Paper ID- AMA-22-01-2022-11040

Ten varieties of pearlmillet (RHB-173, RHB-177, MPMH-17, HHB-67, Pro Agro-9450, Pro Agro-9001, Pioneer 86 m 86, Pioneer 86 m 84, Pioneer 86 m 38 and Raj-171.) were evaluated for reaction to Corcyra cephalonicaStaint in the laboratory conditions. The adult emergence (F1), weight losses and susceptibility index in these varieties were ranged from 9.33-32.00, 10.44-31.69% and 2.77-6.82, respectively, the minimum in Pioneer 86 m 86 and maximum in Raj-171; other varieties were in the middle order. The seed damage recorded in different varieties ranged from 23.67-75.84%, the minimum in Pioneer 86 m 86 (23.67%), Pro Agro-9450 (25.55%) and Pro Agro-9001 (28.33%); these treatments were found at par each other. The Raj-171 was badly infested (75.84% grain damage), which differed significantly over other varieties. The developmental period of the pest varied from 50.88-80.61 days in different varieties, minimum being in Raj-171 and maximum in Pioneer 86 m 86.

Effect of Irrigation Water Levels on plant Growth and Spike Quality of Asiatic Lily cv. Indian Diamond

Paper ID- AMA-22-01-2022-11039

The demand of cut flowers was increased day by day. Asiatic lily has great potential to fulfill the demand of consumers worldwide. For completion of cut flower demand we have to need determine the optimum amount of irrigation water for better plant growth and spike quality of Asiatic lily. In this study, three different amounts of irrigation water i.e. 1.0V, 0.8V, and 0.6V was applied through drip irrigation system based on daily Pan Evaporation and Control. In control the irrigation was applied at temporary wilting point through traditional irrigation method. The results revealed that the plant growth and spike quality was found superior with the irrigation amount 1.0V (i.e.100 percent amount of irrigation water applied through drip irrigation method) followed by 0.8V (i.e.80 percent amount of irrigation water applied through drip irrigation method) as compared 0.6V (i.e. 60 percent amount of irrigation water applied through drip irrigation method). However, the inferior quality of spike was observed in 0.6V of irrigation water applied through drip irrigation method and traditional irrigation method (i.e. Flood irrigation method).

Dissecting of Simple Sequence Repeat Polymorphism in The Indian Wheat Genotypes

Paper ID- AMA-21-01-2022-11036

A total of 93 allele was amplified with Each primer thus produced on an average 5.16 polymorphic bands and The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 11. The polymorphism index content (PIC) value varied from 0.17 to 0.805 with an average of 0.680. SSR markers performed well in the detection of genetic diversity and maintaining wheat genetic diversity can be recommended for future wheat improvement program. Genomic DNA was extracted from different 33 thirty three wheat genotypes using CTAB procedure using 18 SSR markers primers. SSR molecular markers performed well for detection of genetic diversity, and amplified Matrix similarity of genotypes was calculated by using NTSYSpc.2.1 with Sanh-clustering using the UPGMA (Unweighted Paired Group Method Using Arithmetic Averages) method. The main aim of current study were to Dissecting of the genetic polymorphism, level of genetic diversity, genetic relationship, selection of efficient highly diverse parents, maintenance of germplasm, identification of putative and informativeness SSR markers can be recommended for developing road map for efficient selection and future crop improvement program.

Influence of weed management practices under different plant rectangularity on fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) yield performance and nutrient effectiveness with special reference to semi–arid ecologies of Rajasthan

Paper ID- AMA-21-01-2022-11035

The occurrence of weeds and the shape of the planting are two of the most important factors affecting fennel performance in limited irrigation conditions of semi–arid ecologies. Adoption of weed management practices under different plant rectangularity may lead towards achieving higher productivity with system sustainability. A two–year field experiment was conducted at semi–arid climatic conditions of Rajasthan in the rabi season of 2016–2018 to investigate the response of fennel crop to weed management practices under different planting geometry. The twenty four treatment combinations, comprising four plant rectangularity viz. 50 x 20 cm, 50 x 25 cm, 60 x 15 cm and 60 x 20 cm with six weed management practices viz. weedy check, two HW at 25 and 50 DAS, pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha (PE), oxadiargyl @ 75 g/ha (PE), pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha (PE) + one HW at 30 DAS and oxadiargyl @ 75 g/ha (PE) + one HW at 30 DAS. These treatments were replicated thrice in split spot design and analyzed. Result illustrated that significantly (p <0.05) highest seed yield (22.13 q/ha), straw yield (74.46 q/ha) and biological yield (96.59 q/ha) were recorded in plant rectangularity60 x 20 cm over plant rectangularity’s 50 x 25 cm, 50 x 20 cm and 60 x 15 cm. Similarly, respective nutrient content and their uptake in plant samples were increase under plant rectangularity 60 x 20 cm. Among the weed management practices, HW twice at 25 and 50 DAS significantly (p <0.05) improved the yield, nutrient content and their uptake by fennel followed by pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha (PE) + one HW at 30 DAS, oxadiargyl @ 75 g/ha (PE) + one HW at 30 DAS and pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg/ha (PE) and proved superior over pre-emergence application of oxadiargyl @ 75 g/ha and weedy check.

Effect of different transplanting dates and transplanting shock preventing methods on establishment and grain yield of pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides L.) cultivars

Paper ID- AMA-20-01-2022-11033

A field experiment was conducted at the Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute, Durgapura, Jaipur during two consecutive kharif seasons of 2019 and 2020. The experiment comprises two pearl millet varieties (RHB-173 and RHB-177), transplanting shock preventing methods (No treatment, Triacontanol @ 0.25 ml/litre, Triacontanol @ 0.50 ml/litre and Leaf clipping) and three dates of transplanting (15th June–30th June, 1st July–15th July and 16th–31st July) were replicated thrice in factorial randomized block design. Pearl millet cultivar RHB-173 recorded significantly higher grain yield over RHB-177 during each year of investigation. Among the transplanting shock preventing methods, triacontanol @ 0.50 ml/litre recorded significantly higher plant population at 20 DAT and at harvest with greater seedling vigour index I & II at 20 DAT and grain yield over no treatment and leaf clipping, however, it was found at par with triacontanol @ 0.25 ml/litre. The crop transplanted during 1st July–15th July recorded significantly higher plant population at 20 DAT and at Harvest and seedling vigour index I & II at 20 DAT with higher grain yield as compared crop transplanted during 15th June–30th June, but it was found at par with later transplanted crop (16th July–31st July).
