A NEW SMART AGRICULTURE MONITORING SYSTEM USING IoT
In the recent technology obsessed world, the need for inclusion of technology in the existing agriculture techniques has become the need of the hour. The work focuses on smart agriculture using automation and IOT technologies. The highlighting features of this work include smart tasks like soil moisture sensing, pH detection, keeping vigilance, etc. Secondly it includes smart irrigation with smart control based on accurate real time field data. The aim of this work is to develop a device which measures the value from soil moisture sensor, pH sensor, temperature and humidity sensor and presence of objects near the area of the operation with the help of the ultrasonic sensor. The values measured will be displayed with the help of the mobile application. Based on the values obtained from the soil using moisture sensor, the motor shall be switched ON/OFF with the help of the mobile application if the value of soil moisture is beyond the specified value. This system can ensure better crops and proper field management. This will bring a new benefit to the overall growth of the country because as food is the foremost need of any human being in the world.
Role of Newer fungicide molecules on controlling of foliar diseases in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is the most ancient and important oilseed crop, with rich source of protein, high quality seed oil and many antioxidant properties is extensively grown in India. Occurrence of foliar diseases are Alternaria leaf spot and powdery mildew become a major constraint in recent years for successful and profitable cultivation of sesame. Field experiment was conducted on integrated disease management practices to combat foliar diseases and to increase the seed yield of sesame during two consecutive years (2015 and 2016) at Regional Research station, Vridhachalam, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Tamil Nadu. Integrated management of Alternaria leaf spot and powdery mildew of sesame were conducted with eight treatments. Among the different treatments tested in field condition, the minimum incidence of Alternaria leaf spot (15.14 % and 13.72%) with higher yield of 642 kg/ha and 657 kg/ha were recorded in seed treatment with T. viride @ 10 g/kg + furrow application of T. viride (2.5 kg/ha enriched in 100 kg of FYM) @ 250 kg/ha + foliar spray of myclobutanil @ 1 g/l during kharif 2015 and 2016.The reduction of Alternaria leaf spot was also directly associated with an increase in seed yield. In case of powdery mildew, the minimum incidence 5.83 and 9.65PDI with higher yield of 642 kg/ha and 657 kg/ha were recorded in kharif - 2015 and 2016 with spray of myclobutanil 10% WP @ 1 g/l.
Breeding practice and economic traits of goats in the tribal belt in Sirohi and Pali districts of Rajasthan
The paper attempts to comprehend goat breeding practices and estimate economic parameters under semi-arid conditions in Rajasthan and analyze related issues. The study in its sample covered a total of 120 goat-keeping households with 70 from Sirohi and 50 from Pali districts from the southern semiarid zone of Rajasthan. A total of 120 households were selected for an interview, descriptive statistics were used to present the findings. The study revealed that the primary source of the breeding buck was raised within the own animals and the type of mating was mainly uncontrolled natural mating. The study also concluded that farmers were acquainted with some practices in scientific goat breeding aspects. The present study suggests the need for comprehensive policy and consistent efforts are required for vocational training of households for further bracing up goat rearing in the tribal region. Thus, paving the way for sustainable livestock production for doubling farmers' income in a semi-arid ecosystem. Breeding practices and reproductive performances of goat requires intervention to design a breeding program that fits the breeding practices of studied communities. So, better husbandry practices with a well-designed breeding program will improve the goat population of the area.
Early Generation Identification and Selection of Superior Transgressants from Inter-Varietal Crosses of Blackgram (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) in the north-Western Himalayan ranges
The main aim of the research was to isolate desirable numerous trait transgressive segregants in the early blackgram generations among 14 cross combinations. Evaluation was done during Kharif 2018 & 2019 under RBD over three replications. For seed yield per plant, the fraction of transgressive segregation was determined to be 0-6.67% (F2) and 33.33-100% (F3). Seed yield was transgressed simultaneously with one or more traits in the majority of the segregants indicating their correlation with each other and presence of linkage drag among their genes. When compared to better parent and best check, seven crosses out of 14 i.e. IC-398973×Him Mash-1, IC-281993×Him Mash-1, IC-281980×HPBU-111, IC-281982×HPBU-111, IC-413306×HPBU-111, IC-413306× Him Mash-1 and IC-413304×HPBU-111 scored better for majority of the traits in both generations. The most promising transgressive segregants are plant no. 2,1,5 in cross IC-281993×Him Mash-1, plant no.5,8,6 in IC-413304×HPBU-111, transgressive segregants no. 9,7 in cross IC-413306×HPBU-111, plant no. 5,10 in cross IC-413306×Him Mash-1, plant no. 7,4 in cross IC-398973×Him Mash-1, plant no. 4,8 in IC-281982×HPBU-111 and plant 1&3 in IC-281980×HPBU-111 having explended performance for seed yield and other related traits which aids in exploiting the limit of desired traits intensity which is not available in parents. The results suggested the presence of a large number of transgressive segregants in early segregating generations, which opens up a lot of possibilities for careful genotype selection and bringing in beneficial alleles for blackgram breeding programmes in later generations to develop the desired plant genotype.
POST HARVEST ASSESSMENT OF FLOWER QUALITY PARAMETERS IN SEVEN JASMINE VARIETIES
A study on “Post harvest assessment of flower quality parameters in seven jasmine varieties” was conducted at the Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The study involved seven commercial varieties of jasmine, viz., Ramanathapuram Gundumalli, Madanban, Single Mohra and Ramabanam of the species Jasminum sambac, CO.1 Mullai and Parimullai of Jasminum auriculatum and CO.1 Pitchi of Jasminum grandiflorum. The study was conducted with two year old plants grown under open field condition, adopting all the recommended cultural practices. The statistical design adopted was RBD. Observations were taken during the critical stages of growth and development namely, pre flowering, flowering, peak flowering and lean flowering stages for all the parameters. The highest values for all the visual quality parameters and physiological parameters of flowers and shelf life (30 hrs) were recorded in Single Mohra, a variety of J. sambac. Among the species, CO.1 Pitchi of J. grandiflorum and Ramanathapuram Gundumalli of J. sambac had the highest fragrance index scores. The study found that in addition to the widely grown jasmine varieties Ramanathpuram Gundumalli of J. sambac, CO.1 Mullai of J. auriculatum, and CO.1 Pitchi of J. grandiflorum, other varieties including Madanban, Ramabanam and Single Mohra of J. sambac and Parimullai of J. auriculatum can be popularised to encourage commercial cultivation of these varieties keeping in view the growing importance of jasmines as fresh flowers and source of other high valued materials.
