A new second generation anticoagulant rodenticide, difethialone (0.0025%), was evaluated in the rice fields at three different cropping stages, viz. Milky, Panicle formation and Panicle maturation, during Kuruvai and Thaladi seasons. The difethailone (0.0025%) yielded satisfactory control success suggesting a great potential as a rodenticide especially in the early stages of rice.

genetic variations within the species of agropyron desertorum and 2 varieties of a. cristatum subsp. pectinatum var. imbricatum and a. cristatum subsp. pectinatum var. pectinatum were studied using morphological traits and total protein profiles (with sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). an experiment was conducted in research institute of forests and rangelands (2012-201...

quantitative valuations of observed heterosis for 11 traits of 15 f1 hybrids generated by half diallel crosses of six diverse rice cultivars (domsefid, hashemi and binam, three iranian local cultivars; dorfak, kadous and ir30, three improved cultivars), were made in this study. fifteen f1 hybrids and their parents were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications at t...

Studies were carried out in National Active Germplasm Site (NAGS) at ICAR-NRC on Litchi, Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India during 2018 and 2019 to find the association between different characters magnitude of with yield (kg plant-1) nine clones litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.). Result revealed that genotypic coefficient higher than their corresponding phenotypic ones implying an inherent relationship a...

The experiment was conducted involving 35 rabi sorghum genotypes sown at six different dates of sowing (from Sept I week to October IV week) during 2006-07 to assess the stability for pollen fertility (%), seed setting (%) and other productivity traits viz., plant height, days to 50% flowering, number of leaves, length of panicle, panicle weight, panicle diameter, number of primaries/panicle an...

An experiment was undertaken by utilizing fifty selected elite genotypes and released varieties of rice for ten yields yield contributing characters to assess genetic divergence at Zonal Agriculture Research Station, Igatpuri, Dist. Nashik during kharif-2020. Path coefficient analysis revealed that test weight exhibited highest positive direct effect on grain plant-1 subsequently spikelet ferti...

Stress like drought is an important production constraint that drastically reduces rice yield. The present study was conducted during kharif season of 2019 through the front line demonstrations in Malkangiri district South Eastern Ghat Zone Odisha to evaluate performance tolerant variety Swarna Shreya with recommended package (demonstrated technology) practices. Rice Sahabhagi dhan considered a...
