The landraces were subjected to analyses of variance and covariance for estimation of genetic variability parameters and correlation coefficients among the 19 characters. The experiment was carried out during the rabi season of 2017-18 at the Instruction Cum and Research (ICR) Farm of Assam Agricultural University in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. From the analysis of variance, it was recorded that the presence of variation among thirty pumpkin landraces for all characters. The highest genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was recorded for single fruit weight with 51.47 per cent and 54.88 per cent, indicating presence of greater variability for the trait. The heritability in the broad...

Among the various causes, post harvest diseases are major decay of fruits and vegetables accounting for 20-25% losses. The causative fungus belonging to both biotrophic and necrotrophic nature belongs to the genera of Aspergillus, Penicillium, Botrytis, etc. Management of post harvest diseases by conventional chemicals is not preferred due to residual effects and toxicity. Considering the global demand and consumer awareness about the health effects of pesticides, biocontrol agents are getting attention in recent times for post harvest disease management. BCAs like Trichoderma, Bacillus and Pseudomonas have been explored for successful management of post harvest diseases of citrus, strawberry, tomato, etc. The possible mode actions of the BCAs are competition for nutrients and space, production of antimicrobial compounds, hydr...

Thirty diverse pumpkin landraces representing eight districts of Assam comprised the investigation, carried out at the Instruction-cum-Research (ICR) Farm of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, during Rabi 2018-2019. Genetic divergence in 30 pumpkin landraces for 27 different traits using Mahalanobis D 2 statistics and Tocher's clustering generated five clusters of the 30 pumpkin landraces. Diversity analysis revealed that the highest genetic diversity was evident between the cluster pairs II-V, I-V, I-V and IV-V, respectively; the landraces from these clusters may be selected as parents in future hybridization programs to obtain superior combinations and heterosis in segregating generation. The single landrace Dibrugarh-1 belonging to cluster IV stood most diverse among 30 landraces and recorded a high cluster mean for yield per plant, which can serve as a suitable parent for the hybridization programme. Landraces Karbi Anglong-1, Haflong-1, Jorhat-1, Majuli-1 and Lakhimpur-1 belonged to the best mean cluster group V; they showed the highest intra-cluster distance, indicating the presence of heterogeneity among the landraces and they can be parents in hybridization programme.

The materials were characterized during sali season of 2015-16 at the Instruction-cum-Research (ICR), Assam Agricultural University (AAU), Jorhat using Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Analysis of variance revealed the existence of significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits under both inorganic and organic cultures. Among all the characters, panicle weight, grains/panicle, 1000-grain weight, grain yield/plant, straw yield/plant and harvest index exhibited moderate to high estimates of the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were recorded under organic and inorganic culture. Also, high estimates of heritability were recorded for days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, plant height, grains/panicle, 1000-grain weight, and harvest inde...

It is the main cultivated crop in India as well as in Assam. In Assam, a large number of indigenous rice cultivars are grown by the farmers and a number of such cultivars have been genetically improved through breeding programmes. Assam, being one of the centres of diversity of rice, harbours very rich genetic resources for different traits of importance for immediate utility as well as for the future. Joha rice is a one of the rice classes which is mostly grown in Assam. This class of rice enjoys a unique position in terms of popularity. The Joha rice cultivars are known for its strong aroma, fine grain, good cooking qualities and excellent palatability International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 11 (2020) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com
