Studies on Genetic Variability for Yield and Yield Related Traits in Peanut (Arachis Hypogaea L.)

ABSTRACT Thirty three genotypes of peanut were evaluated during kharif 2019 to estimate genetic parameters viz., genetic variance, heritability (broad sense) and genetic advance as per cent of mean for 19 characters. The analysis of variance revealed that highly significant differences were observed among the genotypes for all the characters studied except dry haulms yield […]

Productivity and Quality of Forage Maize Under Different Legume Intercropping Systems

ABSTRACT A field experiment was conducted during kharif, 2019 on sandy loam soils of Wetland farm of S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati campus of Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University.

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. This paper attempted forecasting univariate time series of banana production in India, the proposed Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) algorithm appears more powerful than traditional models. Used 69 years data banana production (1951-2019) in India and applied time […]

Effect of Organic Manures and Phosphorus Levels on Growth, Yield and Economics of Vegetable Cowpea

ABSTRACT Field experiment was conducted during kharif 2017 and 2018 at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh to evaluate the effect of organic manures and phosphorus levels on growth, yield and economics of vegetable cowpea. Three levels of organic manures (no organic manure, FYM @ 5 tonnes ha-1 and poultry manure @2 tonnes ha-1) and 3 phosphorus levels […]
