Impact of Drought Stress on Photosynthetic Pigments And Leaf Epicuticular Wax in Pigeonpea

ABSTRACT An experiment was carried to evaluate the performance of eighteen pigeonpea genotypes under drought stress. Drought stress was imposed at two phenophases of growth such as flowering and pod maturation stages. The parameters such as Chlorophyll a, b, a : b ratio, soluble protein, leaf epicuticular wax (ECW) and yield were recorded at flowering […]

Forecasting of Banana Production in India: An Arima Approach

ABSTRACT Forecasting models were helpful for managing and decision making in planning for the future effectively.
