An experiment was performed to understand the effects of aluminium toxicity (AlCl3·6H2O) on Kachai lemon growth and development. The toxic effects of aluminium were assessed for 45 days in sand media. With untreated pots serving as the control, seedlings of 1 month old were exposed to three concentrations of AlCl3·6H2O: 300 μM, 600 μM and 900 μM. T...

Melatonin (MT), discovered as N‑acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine in 1958, exhibits significant potential as a regulator of plant growth, development and responses to environmental stressors. Its diverse levels across organs and species make it an intriguing subject for functional studies. This review explores the potential of MT, whether administered end...

Elimination of rainy-season crops is pivotal to encourage winter crops in guava. In general, rainy-season guava fruits are of poor fruit quality, insipid in taste, have poor shelf life, and mostly affected by many insect pests. Pruning is also considered one of the most eco-friendly methods for crop regulation. To fully comprehend the impact of pru...

Cisgenics is the change of a recipient plant's genetic make-up using a naturally derived gene from a species that is cross-compatible, along with its introns, native promoter and terminator, which are flanked at the typical sense orientation. It simply refers to genetic alteration carried out using one among the recombinant DNA technology approache...

Fruits hold significant nutritional advantages and are a crucial component of human diets. They not only contribute to nutritional security but also provide valuable employment opportunities and increased income for farming communities. However, the productivity of these crops is negatively impacted by abiotic stresses, particularly during critical...

Fruit plants are a crucial component of the development of the fruit industry. The lengthy gestation time of fruit crops, however, necessitates extreme caution in the choice of planting material and the adoption of appropriate technologies for its mass replication, as any errors made during the early construction of an orchard could cause significa...

Perennial plants can be propagated in two ways either by vegetatively or generatively. Fruit and nut trees are typically grown vegetatively by grafting techniques. There are two sorts of grafting methods for this: budding and grafting. Both are used for the same thing: to create a new plant by fusing a suitable rootstock with an aerial section of a...

Vermicomposting is an effective means of composting the decomposable organic wastes using earthworms naturally present in the soil. This is the process of turning organic debris into worm casting. The worm casting is very important to the fertility of the soil. The casting contains high amount of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesi...

After the introduction of chemical fertilizers in the last century, farmers were happy of getting increased yield in agriculture in the beginning. But slowly chemical fertilizers started displaying their ill effects such as leaching out and polluting water basins, destroying micro-organisms and friendly insects, making the crop more susceptible to...

Growing your own fruit and vegetables organically is not really difficult. It might take a little more work than growing with chemical but advantages more than compensate for the extra time will have to put in, imagine being able to pick fresh produce and to eat it right away without needing to scrub it to remove chemical residue, consider how much...

Molecular components of citrus essential oils are said to have a wide range of functions, according to findings from several investigations and research projects. An attempt is made to explore the bioactivities of essential oils from citrus and its physiochemical profiles and their beneficial effects upon human wellbeing in this succinct yet thorou...

Lemon [Citrus limon (L.) Burm.] cv. Assam lemon is one of the most important species of citrus cultivated in warm southern slopes of the Himalayas in north-eastern India. Since this cultivar of lemon is having a prominent trait of bearing fruits in several flushes throughout the year. More precise management of nutrition is required to meet the nut...

A randomized block designed experiment was taken up with seven treatments of three replications consisting recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) and RDF in combine with Organic manures and Vermicompost at different concentration during the year 2019. The experimental data revealed that the application of different treatments had positive influence...

Assam lemon [Citrus limon (L.) Burm.], an indigenous lemon cultivar of Assam, is widely cultivated in warm southern slopes of the Himalayas in North-Eastern India. Since this cultivar of lemon is having a prominent trait of bearing fruits in several flushes throughout the year, it is essential to provide sufficient nutrition for obtaining optimum y...

The postharvest losses of fruits and vegetables in the developing countries account for almost 50% of the produce. India being world's second largest producer of fruits and vegetables loses up to 40% of produce because of excessive ripening during transport and storage. Biotechnological approaches especially genetic engineering has potential and pr...

INTRODUCTION: To draw out a plan of work to grow crops to get maximum possible yields of high quality produce and a reduction of inputs. Farming is a complex agri-business where many activities are taken together like cultivation of cereals, fruits and vegetables, animal rearing and poultry. However, cultivation of various crops, including fruits a...

North East India is characterized by a diverse population of people with different ethnic background. Most of the people of this region are tribal and bear their own methods of fermenting food materials for the purpose of preservation and taste enhancement and they have been carrying these from time immemorial. All the fermented products are region...

A field experiment to investigate the effect of different nitrogen levels on yield and yield components of late wheat varieties was conducted at the Student's Demonstration and Research Field Department of Agriculture, Baba Farid College, Baba Farid Group of Institutions, Bathinda during rabi season 2018-19. The treatments consisted of three variet...

Citrus is a perennial fruit crop which is highly responsive to nutrient applied and thus require adequate amount of nutrition for obtaining optimum growth and yield. In recent years, it has been observed that organic in combination with inorganic sources of nutrient have gained popularity due to the negative impact of excessive use of chemical fert...
