The sympodial deformity has been recognized from earliest times and may well have given rise to the myth of the siren. The legendary monster...

Abstract A field study was carried out to determine the influence of foliage applied plant growth promoter and retardant in improving soil sulphur fertilizer use efficiency cotton during two consecutive summers 2014 2015. Experimental trial comprised three different sources (ammonium sulphate, potassium sulphate elemental sulphur) foliar spray including tap water taken as control. Among treatme...

Cotton is India’s most important cash crop and it used for agricultural industrial purposes all over the world. The greatest way identifying superior hybrids best combiners of parents by L×T design. For analyzing combining ability heterosis various yield attributing variables as well quality traits, viz., four lines testers were crossed to produce sixteen hybrids. MCU5 × KC3 cross contributed p...

The present investigation on correlation and path analysis studies helps to study the relationship among yield contributing traits along with quality parameters. observations were taken in F1 population of 35 hybrids lines (7 lines) testers (5 testers) for viz. plant height (cm), number sympodial branches per plant, bolls boll weight (g), lint index single cotton ginning outturn (%), upper half...

To the Editor: Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous fungal infection present worldwide that is caused by traumatic inoculation or inhalation of spores of the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii complex (1–3). However, molecular studies have shown that the S. schenckii complex constitutes several cryptic infectious species demonstrated 3 major clades grouped into 6 putative phylogenetic species. T...

The field investigation was carried out at Department of Agronomy farm, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola during 2019-20. experiment laid in randomized block design with three replications and seven different nitrogen levels treatment an objective to study the growth yield cotton as influenced by various under rainfed condition. Treatments consisted nutrient management practices i...
