Singh ABSTRACT Thesis title : “A study on Awareness and Opinion regarding Soil Health Card scheme among the farmers.” The present study was carried out during the year 2020-2021, in Meerut and Muzaffarnagr districts of Uttar Pradesh. It was observed that 56.87 per cent SHC adopters were observed in the middle age category with their ages ranging between 31 to 60 years, most of the SHC adopters were educated, 90.63 per cent married, 72.50 per cent other backward caste, 73.13 per cent living in nuclear family system, 65.00 per cent having medium size of family, 93.75 per cent having pacca house, most of SHC adopters were belonged to small and marginal farmers category, 80.62 per cent SHC adopters possessed main occupation was farming, 52.50 per cent had membership in one organization, 70.00 per cent SHC farmers having private electric tube well, 66.87 per cent of the SHC scheme farmers had a medium level of scientific orientation, 74.38 per cent had a medium level of economic motivation, 34.38 per cent had very medium level of innovativeness, 33.75 per cent were belonging to income group of Rs. 1,00,001 to 2,00,000, 53.75 per cent of the SHC scheme farmers had a medium level of socio-economic status, majority of the SHC users mostly meet to neighbors and relatives to get the information, maximum SHC users were always using a mobile phone as a source of mass media contact, majority of soil health card adopters had possessed medium level of awareness about scheme and only five variables highly significant and positively correlated with the awareness level of SHC adopters, majority of SHC beneficiaries (76.25%) had opinion that SHC gives an idea of fertilizers usage pattern and SHC helps in timely management of fertilizers with ranked first and second respectively, 56.87 per cent of soil health card adopters had medium level of impact of Soil Health Card Scheme and only five variables had highly significant and positively correlated with the impact level on SHC adopters. Most important reasons behind the non-adaptation of Soil Health Card Scheme were high price of fertilizers, illiteracy among the farmers for using soil health card and extension workers are not available to advise at village level.

Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2008-05) Anuj Kumar; Sharma, A.K.Post liberalization, the development of new techniques and ideas in econometrics have been rapidly growing over the last few years. These developments are now being applied to a wide variety of fields and in analyzing the stock market behavior. Specially the area of analysis of financial time series is catching the attention of big business houses as they are now contemplating on optimizing the business process in order to achieve best estimate of production planning over the long span of time and also to sustain the growth momentum. Economic and financial time series are nonstationary in nature and exhibits changing frequency patterns over the time. Wavelet analysis is one such tool for analyzing non-stationary data. Parameterization of wavelet families allows one to generate infinite number of wavelets for the different choices of selection for analyzing the financial time series. In present work, “Analysis of time series and stock market behavior using wavelet methods” we have proposed a simpler method to generate parametric families of orthogonal wavelet and used it to generate the ‘6-tap Daubechies wavelet filter’ in a straight forward manner. The wavelet based concepts have then been employed to study BSE and NSE indexes financial time series using index data from April 1990 to March 2006 by decomposing index based financial time series into time-scale components using the MODWT (Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform) analysis. The most commonly used measure to analyze the stock market behavior is the wavelet correlation analysis, we have used it for the analysis of BSE and NSE indexes financial time series. The work embodied in this thesis serves as intuitive guide for analyzing the time series and can be of use for the predictions based on it by using the newly developed wavelet technique.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of micronutrients and curd foliar spray on growth, yield and quality parameters of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)(2024-02-24) Anuj Kumar; Dr A L JatvaA field experiments were conducted at Oil Seed Research Farm, Kalyanpur and laboratory experiment was carried out in the Department of Seed Science and technology of CSAUAT, Kanpur during Rabi seasons of 2021-22. The objective of assessment’s was to study the “Effect of micronutrients and curd foliar spray on growth, yield and quality parameters of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)” with different doses on plant traits viz. T0: Control, T1: Zn (0.5%), T2: B (0.2%), T3: KNO3 (2.5%), T4: Zn+B (0.5%+0.2%), T5: Zn+ KNO3 (0.5%+2.5%), T6: B+KNO3 (0.2%+2.5%), T7: Zn+B+KNO3 (0.5%+0.2%+2.5%), T8: Curd of Cow (5kg ha-1) and T9: Curd of Buffalo (5 kg ha-1) under drought and irrigated conditions. Each ten chemical treatments were applied as foliar spray at jointing (60-65 DAS) and booting stage (80-85 DAS). It was designed in RBD and CRD with three replications. Standard procedures were followed for assessment during the experimentation. The result revealed that significantly viz. the highest Plants height(92.79cm), No. of tillers plant-1(4.50), Length of ear (8.61), No. of spikelet’s spike-1(13.27), No. of grain ear-1 (36.52), 1000 Seed weight (45.80g), Grain yield (37.67 q ha-1), biological yield (89.26q ha-1), Harvest index(42.20%), Seed germination (92.33%), Seedling length (26.92cm), Root length (12.28), Seedling dry weight (.094), Seed vigour index-I (2485.52), Seed vigour index-II (86.79), as compare to T0: Control obtained by foliar application of T8: Zn+B+KNO3 (0.5%+0.2%+2.5%). Instead of the application of T8: curd of cow (5kg ha-1) sprayed with Plants sustainable way can enhance not only enhances the growth, vigor and quality of seed but also inducing resistance to pests and diseases. Among the all treatments maximum responsive was of T7: Zn+B+KNO3 (0.5%+0.2%+2.5%) in most of traits and gave significantly was found effective in increasing the yield of wheat cv „„k-1317‟‟ in Kanpur (U.P.) and it is strongly recommended that farmer of the central Uttar Pradesh adopt for better growth and yield of wheat cropThesisItem Open Access Effects of bio-fertilizers and phosphorus levels on soil fertility and nutrient uptake by Black gram [Vigna mungo (L.)

Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2013-08) Anuj Kumar; Pateriya, R.N.Rotary tillage implements are now being projected as important tools in production of fine tilth soil, however the rotavator being in line with the tractor at the back cannot be used in orchards due to the hindrance posed by narrow space between the horticulture crops. Hence there is need of some suitable tillage tool in offset mode to central line of tractor so that it can reach at the canopy of trees with tractor in between rows. Offset rotavators have been found to be the most suitable for this purpose. An important feature of this rotary tillage tool is the side shift system. The side shift system is working on a four-bar mechanism. The study was undertaken to examine the influence of forward speed of tractor and the length of links with dependent parameters such as displacement, angular displacement, angular velocity and angular acceleration of links. It was found that the position, angular velocity and angular acceleration of link3, was not affected by the length of the link3. The total angle rotate by each length of link is same, 54.5 deg. Initial and final position were also same for each link length. It was observed that the position and angular velocity of link3, affected by the forward speed of tractor. The total angle of rotating by the link was same but the time taken to rotate the angle was different. The minimum time was taken, 0.18 s in case of 4 km.h-1 and the maximum time was taken, 0.36 s in case of 2 km.h-1 speed. The maximum angular velocity 302.78 deg.s-1 was in case of 4 km.h-1 and minimum angular velocity 151.38 deg.s-1 was in case of 2 km.h-1. The maximum distance covered by link 2 was .73 m in case of 0.80 m length of link3 and minimum distance covered by link 2 was 0.50 m in case of 0.545 m length of links. shift of the offset rotavator can be increased upto 2 m by increasing the length of link.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on annatto (Bixa orellana L.) colour enriched guava (Psidium guajava L.) beverages(ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2019) Anuj Kumar; Pathak, SanjayThesisItem Open Access Studies on Effect of Different Protocols of Oestrus Synchronization on Conception Rate in Goats(U.P.

Yadav, Devi Singh,Rajendra KumarRice is the second most important cereal crop of developing countries and a staple food of about 65% world population. Increase threat of rice blast calls for serious efforts to develop resistant rice varieties against this pathogen. In this endeavors, it is important to identify resistant gene (s) with help of markers. Once a gene is tagged with molecular marker, it can be transferred selectively into different genetic backgrounds by marker assisted selection. A slow progress in breeding resistance to blast disease has been observed due to non-availability of reliable markers / traits associated with disease resistance that can be used in marker assisted breeding. For this purpose, hundred and five elite Indian and exotic rice genotypes were evaluated for resistance to blast disease under an induced epiphytotic condition obtained in the field at Meerut (North West Plains Zone, India, 28.99oN and 77.70oE ) in the year 2005-06 and 2006-07. The disease severity (%) and AUDPC was less than 45% and 1000, respectively in all the resistant genotypes, while it was around 85% and higher than 2000 in the case of susceptible genotypes. Substantial variability was present among rice genotypes for resistance to P. oryzae. Genotypes IR-72107-4-159-1-3-3-3, IR-74886-55-2-3-2, PSBRC-80-1, IR-75298-59-3-1-3 and IR-71527-44-1-1 showed considerably less disease severity (%) and AUDPC. Ten RAPD and two SCAR primers were used to identify blast resistant genes. Markers OPA-05, OPF-06, OPF-09, OPF 17, OPG-17, OPG-18, OPG-19, OPH-18, OPK-12, P-265-550 and P-286-350 linked to blast resistance in most of the resistant genotypes, could be considered as potent molecular markers in the selection of blast resistant genotypes. Amplification with RAPD and SCAR primers revealed non-allelic relationship among resistant genotypes and thus, there is good possibility of obtaining enhanced resistance through gene pyramiding.
