Introduction Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops of India with diverse uses. Intensive cultivation has resulted in depletion of soil nutrients to a great extent thus nutrients requirement of crops has increased considerably during the last few years [1]. Phosphorus is the backbone of any fertilizer management programme and plays key role …
INTRODUCTION Improved plant types play an important role in raising the seed yield of the crops. Development of high yielding varieties of mustard has been one of the major concerns of the scientists because use of the improved varieties alone accounts for 15-20 per cent increase in productivity. This is probably because of their altered …
INTRODUCTION Late sown wheat occupies now a sizeable area in Uttar Pradesh either due to late harvesting of proceeding crops or due to excessive moisture in the field as a result of prolonged monsoon rains [1]. In delayed sowing, the crop is forced to mature in short period resulting low yields, therefore, selection of proper …
Introduction Co-evolution phenomenon between plants and microbes has led to substantial positive and negative effects. The effects of microbes such as positive (mutualistic), neutral (commensalistic) or deleterious (pathogenic) impact on plant fitness [1] and interactions among them are bidirectional. In general, plants are invaded by different biotic stress factors such as insect-pests, pathogens and weed …
INTRODUCTION Rice is an important world food security crop that relies on chemical fertilizer to sustain high yields. The use of urea and urea-based fertilizers has increased considerably over the past 15 years. They currently account for approximately 50% of World agricultural Nitrogen consumption [1]. In the event of high input agriculture, more emphasis on …
Introduction The occurrence of heavy metals in the surroundings causes alarm because they’re poisonous even at low concentrations[1]. Heavy metal pollution poses health problems that require being addressed [2]. Exposure to lead has varied effects which include nausea, brain damage, headache, death, abdominal pain and swelling of optic nerve [3]. In children it lowers the …
INTRODUCTION Composite flour are better utilized for cookies production rather than for bread because of their ready-to eat form, relatively prolonged shelf-life, wide consumption and good eating quality. Cookies based on rye, barley, rice, maize, acha, amaranth and oat flour have been reported by several researchers. Protein enrichment studies on cookies have been carried out …
