Comparison of seed treatments

The rate of growth of seedling, the rate of increase of root, shoot, area of the first leaf and the dry weight of the crop plant was faster due to treatment of the seed with whey in comparison to the untreated control. Other parameters may also be incorporated such as increase in the number of cells and biochemical content of the cells, tissue and the whole plant accumulated or stored as a result of chain of synthetic process of which raw material are basically provided by the photosynthesis. Thus the photosynthesis is the key point to make available the raw material for the growth.

Stalk rot in maize caused by Fusarium moniliforme has been a concern in majority of maize growing areas. There are no hybrids resistant to this disease. A study was conducted to identify the suitable strategies for effective mitigation of stalk rot. Biocontrol agents were tested by seed treatment and soil application in comparison with chemical seed treatment usually followed for soil borne diseases. Among the different treatments, seed treatment with T. viride and P. fluorescens at 2.5g each/kg of seed and soil application of 1.

An experiment was conducted in cemented pot in “screen house” of the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during Rabi season 2011-2012, to assess the response of inoculation of rhizobium and application of different doses of iron on nutrient uptake in chickpea. Treatments consisted four levels of iron i.e. 0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 ppm and two levels of microbial inoculation i.e. un-inoculation and inoculation of rhizobium. The treatments were replicated four times in completely randomized design (factorial).

Passiflora is a large genus in the family Passifloraceae Juss. ex DC. Many Passiflora species are propagated by seed. However, seeds are often slow to germinate and have low germination rates due to seed dormancy factors. This study was conducted to evaluate four different pre-germination treatments on enhancing germination potential in seven Passiflora spp. Germination was monitored every 3 days for 90 days. Germination started after two weeks and then, a gradual increase was observed in germination in most species.

Pulses constitute important protein supplements in diets for the resource poor tropics and in India. Green gram and black gram are popular summer pulses. Weather variations, either erratic or uncanny pre-monsoon rainfall, affect the summer crops and studies in optimum sowing window and crop performance comparison for black gram and green gram assumes importance. A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2016 and 2017 at District Seed Farm, Bidhan Chandra KrishiViswavidyalaya, Nadia,West Bengal (22°56' N, 88°32' E, and 9.75 m AMSL).

The tomato (var. sumberson) is highly susceptible to diseases caused by microorganisms as well as pest infestations; as a result serious loss is caused thereof in the production of those crops. On the background of these facts, the research was focused on controlling the diseases through the selected treatments with the objectives of evaluating the efficacy of Lantana camara extract, Balanites extract and their combinations to assess on controlling the pest/disease incidence and severity in tomato field conducted in Hamelmalo Agricultural College.

A study was conducted to determine the mycoflora associated with pigeon pea cultivar MA6 and effect of botanicals on growth of mycoflora. The dominant fungi observed on pigeon pea cultivar MA6 seed were Rhizopus stolonifer, Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Penicillium citrinum, P. rubrum, Alternaria alternata, A. solani, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium oxysporium. Among the treatments, the sulphate and nitrate treated seeds showed the less number of fungi isolated in comparison to untreated seeds. The nature of fungal flora had changed with prolongation of storage period of pigeonpea seeds.

The experiment was conducted in split plot design on wheat variety UP-2565 to study phenological development and yield of wheat in relation to sowing dates, seed priming and foliar nutrition. Main plot treatments consisted of two sowing date i.e. timely (November 28) and late (December 28) and seed priming with 2.0% KCl for 12 hours and non-primed seed.

In this investigation two different methods using aqueous solutions of colchicine were used to treat F1 tillers from various Triticum durum x Aegilops tauschii crosses in order to artificially induce chromosome doubling. Treatment of crown root region (uproot) was found effective compared to in-situ (tip) method using treatment of apical meristems of F1 tillers at 2-3 tiller stage. The aqueous solution of colchicine was administered at two concentrations viz., 0.05 and 0.075% in both the methods. The 0.05% colchicine solution was found more effective as more doubled seed was obtained.
