Evaluation of Pseudomonas Fluorescens Against Pyricularia Oryzae in Vitro

Rice blast caused by Pyricularia oryzae is one of the major destructive diseases of rice growing regions of the world including India. It causes yield loss up to 80 per cent (Ou, 1985) but normally can lead to 30 per cent yield loss annually (Talbot, 2003). P. oryzae is a hemi biotrophic pathogen, initially grow […]

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 […]
