This situation may be improved to some extent if the possibilities and potentialities of growing Kharif onion are being exploited. For initiation of an effective breeding programme for hybrid development, knowledge of genetic diversity is of prime importance. Genetic variation forms the base of plant breeding and provides an array of genotypes that can be selected to develop new varieties or breeding materials.

To identify the best source of nitrogen among organic and inorganic sources and their combinations for better growth, flowering behaviour and fruit yield of chilli cv. Bulet, an experiment was conducted in Gangetic Alluvial plain of West Bengal. Six organic manures in different combinations were applied along with Urea at three levels (25%, 50%, and 75). Result showed that plant height and number of branches per plant was found maximum with a combination of vermicompost and urea at 50%. Flowering was delayed with increase in inorganic nitrogen level (25, 50 and 75%) in the growing media.

Club root of crucifers, a devastating disease of oilseed Brassicas and Cole vegetables is very difficult to control through conventional methods in different areas due to ineffective. Cultivation of resistant Brassica germplasms against this disease is very cheapest method to manage this disease. Therefore this screening trial was conducted with different Brassica germplasms under growth chamber to identify the source of resistance against this disease. Generally root hair infection test and pathogenicity test (club formation) were done for this purpose.
