Pulses are an important source of high quality protein complementing cereal proteins for pre-dominantly substantial vegetarian population of the country. Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill sp.) is the second most important pulse crop of India after chickpea and is grown for it’s grain as dhal and green seed as a vegetable. A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Vishweshwaraiah Canal Farm, Mandya during kharif 2017 to study the effect of foliar application of calcium nitrate, boron and humic acid on growth and yield of transplanted pigeonpea.

In sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), one paramount breeding objective is to increase grain quality. The nutritional quality and end use value of sorghum grains are primarily influenced by the proportions of tannins, starch and proteins, but the genetic basis of these grain quality traits remains largely unknown.

A field experiment was conducted in kharif season of 2015 to investigate the influence of silicon solublizer on different rice genotypes namely PA-6129, PA-6201, PA-6444, PHB71, US-312, and BPT-5204. Soil application of silicon solubilizers was given at the time of maximum tillering, panicle initiation and 50% flowering stage. The experiment was arranged as split plot design with three treatments and three replications.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the foremost important food crop in the world especially in Asiatic Continent. It is ranking second to the wheat among the most cultivated cereals in the world. Rice has widest germplasm collection than other cereal crops. It has to be made productive through several achievements in rice breeding programme, especially in sustainable food grain production with quality concern and it is undoubtedly the most important cereal of the world providing 21 per cent of global human per capita energy and 15 per cent of per capita protein.

To address the feasibility of developing demand for high yield, large seeded, protein rich and cooking quality of kabuli chickpea. Assessing for the diversity among kabuli chickpea was done which suggested for the crosses between the genotypes viz., ICCV 171314, Vihar, NBeG 1010, ICCV 171313, Phule G 0517 from cluster IV with high cluster means for number of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant and seed yield per plant and NBeG 805 genotype from cluster VI with superior cluster means for SCMR, number of primary per plant, 100 grain volume and cooking time for soaked seeds can be used.

Present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the single cross QPM hybrids for quantitative and quality traits. The results indicated that the hybrids showed significant variability for most of the traits studied. Among the F1 hybrids SC-8 yielded the highest grain yield per plant (170.77 g) followed by SC-30 (170.41 g), SC-24 (168.69 g) and SC20 (161.96 g). Two F1 hybrids (SC-13 and SC-19) had high tryptophan content among all the hybrids.
