Co-aggregation was attempted in Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS-571 with other agriculturally important microorganisms such as Azospirillum brasilense MTCC-125, Azotobacter chroococcum MTCC-446, Bacillus megatherium MTCC-3353, and Pseudomonas fl uorescens MTCC-4828 to develop coaggregates with multiple benefi ts using seed powders of diff erent plants viz., Moringa oleifera, Strychnos potatorum an...

one method of seed placement into the soil as regards no-till system is the use of punch planting by which one can plant through a considerable depth of surface residue. the study was conducted using a 2?3 split-plot experimental design of three replications. the factors considered were two types of plantes (conventional planter vs. hinging pneumatic punch planter) and three levels of wheat res...

The influence of seed invigoration on yield and quality was studied in two seasons, i.e., summer kharif. Among the seasons studied, parameters significantly differed for both seasons. Summer recorded highest values growth parameters, viz., field emergence plant population at harvest (91.75 87.75 %, respectively), number nodules (35.71), (q/ha) (3.49), germination (%) (g) (91.7), seedling vigour...

The present investigation was carried out during 2018–19 to evaluate the variation in seed dimension and most promising pre-treatments for accelerating germination of Spondias pinnata Linn. various pre-sowing treatments were Control (no treatment); soaking cold water 24 hours; 48 h; 72 100 ppm thiourea 200 400 800ppm 1000 KNO3 12 800 h h. experiment laid randomised block design with 13 control ...

The experiment was conducted in the Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology and Science, Prayagraj, during 2021-2022. laid out Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 7 hybrids each hybrid replicated 3 times. different used were npy x Golden Crown Black Hawk, Maung Red Bracelet, mkmk, Bracelet Big Flower Bb Chadda Petch, Bb(F1) Hawk. result obtained showed...

Underutilized crops, such as okra, have the potential to alleviate stress on crop production imposed by climate change and farming conditions, but their is greatly hindered poor seed quality. Insect pollination coating with organic substances (biochar) may improve okra’s performance, beneficial effects of biochar quality okra grown under stressful conditions unknown. We examined impact performa...

The non-enzymatic modifications of proteins through Amadori and Maillard reactions play an important role in the loss of seed viability during storage. In the present study, the contribution of sugar hydrolysis and lipid peroxidation to Amadori and Maillard reactions, and to seed deterioration was investigated in mung-bean (Vigna radiata Wilczek). The contents of glucose and lipid peroxidation ...

Bacillus subtilis strain IH7 was isolated from the rhizosphere of Tunisian healthy plants and selected for its antimicrobial activities against bacteria and fungi. This strain produced a novel antimicrobial peptide (bacteriocin) called Bac IH7. The pure bacteriocin was obtained after precipitation by ammonium sulphate, chromatography on Sephadex G-25 and C18 reverse-phase HPLC. The SDS-PAGE ana...
