The abiotic stress such as water, temperature, and drought influences the production of pharmacologically important secondary metabolites of plant as a defense mechanism. Cassia angustifolia Vahl. is a potent medicinal plant which yields sennosides from its leaves and pods and grow well under water ...

This study evaluates drought survival mechanisms of tropical dry forest (TDF) trees based on their functional traits (FTs). We addressed the following questions: (i) What are the dominant functional guilds (FGs) of tree species across a soil water availability gradient in TDF? (ii) What are the...

Vindhyan region, the place of experimentation is a hilly area that has some important limitations with respect to sole crop production system, include landscape being uneven, hilly acidic, less fertile, highly vulnerable to intensive tillage practices and poor income to the farmers. In view of...

Field experiment was held at Cental Research Field of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, SHUATS, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during Rabi season, 2020-2021, in order to find out the suitable seed treatments of quinoa (variety EC 507742). The results showed that neem leaf extract3% (3 hrs)...

Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) can survive extreme environmental condition and is known for its fodder potential in many parts of the world. The morphological diversity of 15 introduced accessions was evaluated at Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India. The plants were established in 2013....

Senna Mill. is one of the most typical genus of caesalpiniodeae, with wide geographical distribution and diversification. The research work was planned with an objective of taxonomical characterization and assessment of the meiotic behaviour of wild accessions belonging to four species of Senna...

Idiocerinae leafhoppers are serious pests of economically important fruit crops like mango. Buchanania lanzan Spreng., commonly known as chironji is an underutilized potential dry fruit tree well known for its edible kernels with almond aroma. The Idiocerinae leafhopper species Busoniomimus...

Nitrogen (N) loss is a key problem in rice fields, which results in low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of applied N and could be a major limitation from economic and environmental perspectives. In order to improve the NUE, use of slow or controlled released N fertilizers could be a potential...

The ramifications of different concentrations of foliar particulate matter on the physiology, nutrient stoichiometry, allocation pattern, and their corresponding re-translocation rates were investigated for evergreen (Mangifera indica and Psidium guajava), semi-evergreen (Ficus religiosa and ...

An experiment was conducted during 2010-2012 at Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) to study the performance of fodder oat (Avena sativa L.) varieties under varied irrigation and fertilizer rates. The experiment was consisted of 18 treatment combinations, viz., 2 fodder oat variety (JHO 99-1 and JHO 99-2), 3...
