The set of 10 parents, two females (cms lines) viz; AKCMS-92A, AKCMS-87A, and 8 males (Testers) viz., AKPR-364, AKPR-324, AKPR-372, AKPR-303, AKPR-057, AKPR359, AKPR-215, AKPR-277 their 16 crosses along with two checks PKV-TARA and ASHA were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications at the field of Pulses Research Unit, Dr. PDKV, Akola during Kharif 2014-2015. The data were recorded on the characters viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of branches, number of clusters, number of pods, number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight (g), grain yield per plant (g) and plant fertility (%).Among female parents, ICPA-2047A recorded significant gca effect for maximum six characters such as grain yield per plant, plant height, number of clust...

Although the earth's climate has been slowly evolving over millions of years, rapid changes have occurred in recent times due to the activities of humans. Climate change is now recognised as something which is affecting all our lives. Such global climate changes will affect agriculture considerably through its direct and indirect affect on crops, livestock, pest and diseases and soils, thereby threatening the food security, an important problem for most of the developing countries. It caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gases has emerged as one of the most important environmental issues facing the international community. Greenhouse gases particularly fossil fuel-based carbon dioxide emissions-are accumulating in the atmosphere as a result of human activities, and the ongoing increase in greenhouse gas concentrations is expected to raise the global average temperature and cause other changes to the ...

The trial was setup in RBD design with three replications. Yield and Physiological traits were recorded and correlated with yield. Genotype NIAW 2891 noted significantly high germination %,CTD (4.30oC), minimum membrane thermo-stability index (48.86%) at 75 DAS (grain filling stage), exhibited more RGR (0.0074 g g-1 day-1), NAR (0.0500 g dm2 day-1), early 50% flowering (58.16 days), days to maturity (91.83 days) and more grain yield ha-1 (35.65 q/ha) followed by genotype NIAW 3523 (33.83 q/ha) during both the year and noted as heat tolerance genotypes against the best check AKAW 4210-6. Correlation analysis showed that yield ...

Growers can control crop height genetically, environmentally, culturally or chemically. Genetic control of plant height is primarily achieved by selecting shorter cultivars. Environmental control involves manipulating light (increasing light intensity, minimizing far-red light, and photoperiod) or temperature (reducing the difference between the day and night temperatures, or DIF). Cultural control includes moisture management (stress) and phosphorus or nitrogen deprivation. These techniques can be effective height-suppressing strategies for some crops, but these techniques may not work equally well for each crop under a common environment. An alternative, effective strategy for controlling plant height is to use chemical plant growth retardants (PGRs). Flurprimidol is an alternative for Ancymidol that is at least two times as active and more stable. It is a synthetic inhibitor of Gibberrelic Acid biosyn...

During 2017-18 in India, it occupied an area of 297.67 Lakh ha with total production of 96 Lakh Tons and productivity of 31.19 q/ha. In Maharashtra state, it occupied 12.72 lakh ha area with total production of 22.14 lakh tons and productivity was 17.40 q/ha. In Vidarbha, area under wheat crop was 4.72 lakh ha with production of 7.31 lakh Tons and productivity is 15.59 q/ha (Anonymous, 2018). Late planting of wheat is one of the major reasons for yield reduction, since about 60% of the wheat crop is cultivated at late sowing conditions after harvesting the transplanted aman rice (Badruddin et al., 1994). High temperature (>30 ̊C) at the time of grain filling is one of the major constraints in increasing productivity of wheat in tropical countries like India. It has been reported that International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 11 (2019) Jour...
