Institutional PublicationsItem Open Access Cultivating horticultural crops organically(DKMA, New Delhi, 2005-04) Pathak, R.K.; R.A.Ram; Shukla, S.K.Institutional PublicationsItem Open Access Cultivating aonla organically(DKMA, New Delhi, 2005-04) Pathak, R.K.; Shukla, S.K.; R.A.RAM; Pandey, D.ArticleItem Open Access Studies on organic production of guava (Psidium Guajava) Allahabad Safeda(Acta Horticulturae, 2007) R.A.Ram; Bhriguvanshi, S.R.; Pathak, R.K.Experiments were laid out on 3 yrs-old plant of guava cv. Allahabad Safeda and maximum fruit number and yield (92 & 13.69 kgtree-1 and 283 & 40.11 kgtree-1) were recorded consistently for 2 years in the trees, applied with 20kg FYM and inoculated with Azotobacter. Fruit quality parameters TSS (14.13° Brix) and vitamin C (242.40mg100g-1 fruit) were improved with application of 20kg FYM + BD-500. Leaf nutrients, N, P, K, Ca, S, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe levels were found optimum with the application of different organic treatments. Improvement in microbial property of the soil was also improved after the application of different organic treatments. Bacterial count was maximum (5.1x106 cfu g-1soil) in rhizosphere soil with application of 20 kg FYM + ceilrich while yeast and mould was better (1.2x104 ) with FYM 20kg+BD-500.Institutional PublicationsItem Open Access Management of mango bacterial canker disease through antagonists(Journal of Eco-friendly Agriculture, Lucknow, 2006-01) Kishun, R.; Mishra, Dushyant; R.A.Ram; Verma, A.K.Institutional PublicationsItem Open Access Integration of organic farming practices for sustainable production of Guava: a case study(Acta Horticulturea, 2007) R.A.Ram; Pathak, R.K.; Singh, G.In India, four organic farming systems (Biodynamic, Panchgavya, Rishi Krishi and Homa farming) are prevalent in different parts of the country for production of horticultural and other crops. In Biodynamic farming system, maximum reliance is placed on self-regulatory agro-ecosystem locally or ‘farm derived’ renewable resources. Use of external inputs is as minimized as possible. Experiments were conducted on 3-yrs-old plant of guava cv. Allahabad Safeda using biodynamic preparations, biofertilizers and composts. Maximum number of fruits and yield (92 & 13.69 kg tree-1 & 283 & 40.11kg tree-1) were consistently recorded for 2 years from the trees, applied with 20kg FYM inoculated with Azotobacter in comparison to 21.37kg tree-1 fruit with recommended doses of fertilizer application. Fruit quality parameters, particularly TSS (16.20°Brix) were improved with application of 10kg FYM along with celrich. On the basis of these observations an experiment was further conducted by integrating four organic farming systems on guava. Fruit yield was maximum (38.88kg tree-1) in trees, which were exposed to Homa atmosphere followed by 29.28kg with Homa+Rishi Krishi and Homa+Panchgavaya. TSS was maximum (12.0° Brix) with Homa + Rishi Krishi and Homa + Panchgavaya, while ascorbic acid was more (165mg100g fruit-1) with FYM treated plants.Institutional PublicationsItem Open Access Evaluation of eco-friendly antagonists isolated from leaf based liquid biodynamics pesticides against guava wilt disease caused by Fusarium sp.(Journal of Eco-friendly Agriculture, Lucknow, 2009-01) Gupta, V.K.; Misra, A.K.; Pandey, B.K.; R.A.Ram; Misra, S.P.; Chauhan, U.K.Institutional PublicationsItem Open Access Effect of frequent winter rains on fruit quality of two commercial cultivars of Guava (Psidium Guajaval)(Annals of Agricultural Research, 2000) R.A.Ram; Rajput, M.S.JournalItem Open Access Effect of foliar application of magnesium and some micro-nutrients on growth, yield and fruit quality of mandarin orange (Citrus Reticulata Blanco)(ICAR-IARI, NEW DELHI, 2000) R.A.Ram; Bose, T.K.JournalItem Open Access Effect of cluster setting on yield of 'Dashehari' mango (Mangifera indica)(ICAR, NEW DELHI, 2004-04) R.A.Ram; Rajput, M.S.
