The study investigates the effects of various chemical hybridizing agents (CHAs) on the morphological traits of Sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica) over two growing seasons (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) at the Vegetable Research Centre, JNKVV, Jabalpur. The research primarily focuses on vine length, number of primary branches, internodal length, nodes per...
Emerging viruses pose substantial risks to global health and
agriculture. While much attention focuses on human and animal viruses,
emerging plant viruses, like Pepino mosaic virus and Tomato yellow leaf
curl virus, also threaten crops worldwide. Factors driving their emergence
include genetic mechanisms, changes in vector populations, and glob...
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne graminicola) are significant agricultural pests that adversely affect rice yield and quality. Understanding the metabolic responses of rice to these pathogens, and the potential modulation by beneficial microorganisms like nematophagous fungi, is crucial for developing effective disease management strategies. This s...
Root‐lesion nematodes (RLN) pose a significant threat to chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) by damaging the root system and causing up to 25% economic losses due to reduced yield. Worldwide commercially grown chickpea varieties lack significant genetic resistance to RLN, necessitating the identification of genetic variants contributing to natural resist...
Rice (Oryza sativa) is a highly significant cereal crop on a global scale. Crop plants usually respond to the biotic challenges with altered metabolic composition and physiological perturbations. We have deciphered altered metabolite composition, modulated metabolic pathways and identified metabolite biomarkers in M. graminicola-challenged suscepti...
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important pulse crop in semiarid regions of Iran, India, Turkey and Canada and originated in the fertile crescent of the Near East and dates back to the beginning of agriculture itself. Lentil suffer from attack of number seed borne diseases such as vascular wilt, collar rot, root rot, stem rot, rust, powdery mi...
Abstract
Nematodes, abundant and diverse, play crucial roles in
ecosystems but also pose significant threats to agriculture and human
health. Despite their microscopic size and cryptic lifestyles, nematodes
have a profound impact, inflicting substantial financial losses on farmers
globally. Understanding their morphology, anatomy, life cycle,...
Sheath blight of rice, caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, is emerging as a very destructive disease that causes significant yield losses. The present study was conducted at experimental field of College of Agriculture, Rewa, (M.P.) during 2018-2019. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Seven fungicid...
This study investigates the influence of various CHAs (Chemical Hybridizing Agents) on the flowering time of sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica) over two growing seasons (2022-2023 and 2023-2024). A total of 13 treatments, including Maleic Hydrazide, Gibberellic Acid (GA3), 1-Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA), 2,3,5-Triiodo Benzoic acid, Ethrel and Sulphon...
The adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) among vegetable growers in the Shahpura block of the Jabalpur district, central India, is explored in depth in this study. The complex factors influencing or impeding IPM integration are highlighted under the present study. Notably, education emerges as a powerful catalyst, with educated growers sign...
In the present investigation, roving survey was conducted during the October to February of 2020–2021 and 2021–22 to acquire information on the natural disease incidence and distribution of lentil wilt in the farmers’ fields in eight different districts of Madhya Pradesh. A pooled mean of disease incidence ranging from 6.62%–20.36% was observed dur...
The paper studies on "Constraints faced by vegetable growers in adoption of IPM in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh". The study was conducted in Shahpura block of Jabalpur district, Madhya Pradesh which is a major vegetable growing block in the state. In this study the problems encountered by the growers while implementing the integrated pest ma...
This research delves into the reproductive behavior of Pratylenchus thornei in carrot disc culture, explores its vertical distribution in soil, and evaluates the effectiveness of various bioagents in mitigating nematode impact in chickpea cultivation. In carrot disc culture, the study reveals a maximum reproductive fitness of 19.56 fold after 40 da...
Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.) is a popular edible mushroom known for its delicate flavor and nutritional value. Rice and wheat straw are the major substrates used for the production of mushroom. The use of different basal substrate has been a common practice for optimization of the C:N ratio, enhance the yield, nutritional and medicinal values....
Chickpea is a popular legume crop in Asia and Africa's semi-arid regions with modest production gains, because of several biotic and abiotic factors. Among the different diseases, collar rot of chickpea is a major limiting factor in central India. In the present investigation, three sowing dates were evaluated with four different seed treatments in...
Chickpea is a popular legume crop in Asia and Africa's semi-arid regions. Crop production gains, on the other hand, have been modest, owing to biotic and abiotic stressors. Among the different biotic stresses, nematodes portray serious threat to chickpea production and colossal losses have been reported due to stress-free infection by other pathoge...
