A field experiment was conducted at the Instructional-cum-Research (ICR) Farm, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during summer season of 2019 to find out effect zinc on growth and yield through soil foliar application. The consisted nine treatments viz., 0 kg/ha ZnSO4 (Control), 10 application, 20 0.5% spray 25 DAS, DAS 45 ­soil application + DAS. were laid in Randomized Block Design (RBD) ...

Corn cob is a major component of agricultural and domestic waste in many parts of the world. It is composed mainly of cellulose which can be converted to energy in form of bioethanol as an efficient and effective means of waste management. Production of cellulolytic enzymes were induced in the fungi Aspergillus niger and Penicillium decumbens by growing them in mineral salt medium containing al...

Immobilized Candida tropicalis cells in freeze dried calcium alginate beads were used for production of xylitol from lignocellulosic waste like corn cob hydrolysate without any detoxification and sterilization of media. Media components for xylitol fermentation were screened by statistical methods. Urea, KH2PO4 and initial pH were identified as significant variables by Plackett-Burman (PB) desi...

Understanding the variability, heritability, and genetic advance in maize is crucial for efficient plant breeding improvement programmes. The present investigation was conducted to evaluate various parameters related assessment of variability nature associations among traits affecting grain yield 80 genotypes (Zea mays L.) at Research Farm, Department Genetics & Plant Breeding, College Agri...

At the Department of Agronomy's Crop Research Farm, SHUATS, Prayagraj, a field experiment was carried out in month Zaid 2022. (U.P). The soil experimental plot had sandy loam texture, pH 7.1 that almost neutral, low level organic carbon (0.36%), and availability nutrients N, P, K (171.48 kg/ha, 15.2 232.5 respectively). Ten treatments, each replicated three times, were used experiment, which se...

The screening of forty eight maize in breds from International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center was carried out to estimate the genetic diversity results indicated presence considerable diversity. experiment conducted a randomized complete block design with three replication phenotypic data were analyzed using twenty one agro-morphological traits. grouped into eleven clusters based on Mahalan...

A subspecies of waxy maize (Zea mays L. ceratina) is characterized by the fact that its grain contains 100 % amylopectin starch, a valuable raw material for confectionery production, manufacture polymers, and blood substitute. The absence domestic hybrids in State List Breeding Achievements necessitates study this area breeding. purpose current was to identify dependencies make it possible incr...

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2021-22 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Niani Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice on the basis one year experimentation. consisted FYM 18 t/ha, Poultry manure 3 t/ha V...

The use of organic matter, which has a long-term impact, increases soil fertility because it contains residue. research examines how rice straw mulch and fertilizer residue affect glutinous corn yield. This study was carried out at the Faculty Agriculture Field Laboratory, Halu Oleo University, from May to August 2022. Experiment used randomized block design with split plot design. main plot, i...
