A study was undertaken to know the combined effects of fertigation and consortium of bio-fertilizers on photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, yield attributing characters and yield of banana cv Robusta (AAA) at Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore in the year 2010. From the results, it was observed that the treatment of 100% recommended dose of fertilizers through fertigati...

study of soil quality indicators were considered as a useful method in the land use management. changing the land use affect soil hydrological processes such as water infiltration process. spatial variation of water infiltration in soil plays a very important role in hydrologic processes. variability of this process is affected by the inherent and non-inherent characters of the lands. in order ...

System-level research has resulted in significant advancements in horticultural crop production. Contributions of individual components to production efficiency, cost, and environmental impact have been a focus of such research. Public awareness of the environmental impact of products and services is increasing. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool to study horticultural crop production system...

DNA barcoding relies on short and standardized gene regions to identify species. The agricultural and horticultural applications of barcoding such as for marketplace regulation and copyright protection remain poorly explored. This study examines the effectiveness of the standard plant barcode markers (matK and rbcL) for the identification of plant species in private and public nurseries in nort...
