Field experiments were carried out at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) during Rabi 2021. The soil experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral reaction (pH 7.1), low organic carbon (0.36%), available N (171.48 kg/ha), P (15.2 kg/ha) and K (232.5 kg/ha). hybrids sown. research laid Randomized Block Design with ten treatments each replicated t...

The study was conducted with the objective to know the performance of floral and yield characteristics of pollen and CMS parent. Significant variation was observed for flowering and yield contributing characteristics among two CMS lines (Z1 and Z2) and 21 pollen parents. The pollen parent Nap2019 was found as early flowering whereas the parent Nap2013 was the late for first flowering. The highe...

A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) seasons of 2019–20 and 2020–21 at Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda (Punjab), to study effect irrigation schedules on different growth, yieldattributing characters, yield, quality water use in Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] relation sowing time. Results revealed that, early-sown crop, i.e. 10 October, recorded ...

Two inhibitory fractions (B(1) and C) from extracts of immature fruit of carob were tested for their ability to inhibit the action of indoleacetic acid (IAA) in three bioassays. There was no reduction of IAA-induced reactions in the Avena curvature test, abscission of debladed coleus petioles, or growth of cucumber hypocotyls. The highest ratio of inhibitor to IAA was 10,000 times greater than ...
