Eco friendly approach for management

Ebook "Postharvest management approaches for maintaining quality of fresh produce" presents existing and novel management approaches that are in use or have a great potential to be used to maintain the postharvest quality of fresh produce in terms of microbiological safety, nutrition, and sensory quality. In comparison to traditional synthetic chemicals, these eco-friendly molecules are equally effective with respect to slowing the physiological and biochemical changes in harvested produce.

This research uses the discrete choice experiment (DCE) methodology for studying customer behavior. This approach measures consumers’ willingness to pay for eco-friendly apparel products and accesses the trade-offs that consumers might accept regarding eco-friendly attributes of the product with other attributes such as origin, manufacturing technology and materials.

Field experiments were conducted in farmers holding during 2017-19 in view to develop ecofriendly strategies for the management of white grub in sugarcane crop. Various bio inoculants with required dose per hectare were prepared and multiplied in well decomposed farm yard manure of 50 kgs and mixed with 2500 kgs of decomposed FYM at the time of application for easy handling and applied near root zone during earthing up (during May/June).

Farmer Field School (FFS) is a participatory and interactive approach to social learning. It is an approach that puts together set of principles and techniques meant to systematically enhance farmers’ abilities to investigate, analyze, innovate and learn improved farming practices. The FFS provide an opportunity for farmers to learn together and test and adapt practices, using practical, hands-on methods of discovery learning that emphasize observation, discussion, analysis and collective decision making.

Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the most important vegetable cultivated all over India. This crop is infected by many diseases and the most important disease reported in this crop causing yield loss about 90-100% is collar rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. Biological control of soil borne plant pathogen is gaining much importance due to its ecofriendly, economic and being harmless to non target organism in nature.

Integrated pest management (IPM) is an eco-friendly approach for management of pests by connecting biological, cultural and chemical tools to decrease economic, health and environmental hazards. The study assessed the chemical pesticide use in vegetable crops and prioritized the constraints for successful adoption of IPM practice in selected vegetable crops in peri-urban agriculture.

Stem rot of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is a serious fungal disease of groundnut. Conventional uses of fungicides are toxic to environment thus an eco-friendly new approach of management with nonconventional chemicals as seed treatment was undertaken. Seeds of groundnut were soaked in non-conventional chemicals namely, ZnSO4, ZnCl2, BaSO4, BaCl2, Cycocel and Indole Acetic Acid (I.A.A) @ 10-4 and 10 -5 Molar concentrations for 24 hours to evaluate its bio-efficacy against the disease.

Among various diseases of rapeseed mustard, Sclerotinia rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is emerging out as a serious problem and a major constraint for production and productivity of this crop across the country. Due to increasing environmental concern and health hazard the old management solution of this disease in form of fungicides, need to be replaced with safe and eco-friendly management approach. So the present experiment was carried out for in vitro evaluation of botanical extracts, animal wastes products and organic and inorganic salts against the growth of pathogen.

A study was undertaken to isolate, identify and characterize the rice blast pathogen M. grisea from different rice growing regions. In the present study, ten isolates of M. grisea were categorized into different groups based on colony colour and texture. PCR was performed to identify the M. grisea isolates using the universal primers of 18S (ITS 1) and 28S (ITS 4). The PCR reaction allowed amplifying the fungal ITS fragments of 550 bp. All the isolates had the expected specific size of 550 bp which depicts molecular based confirmation of M. grisea.
