ThesisItem Open Access Studies on Deficiency Diseases Due To Micronutrients In Calves And Their Amelioration(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2002) Noore Alam Tufani; S.HaqueThesisItem Open Access Studies on The Status, Control Haematobiochemical And Economical Impact Of Haemoprotozoan Diseases In Cattle And Buffaloes Of Jharkhand State(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2002) Ananta Kumar Das; K.D.PrasadThe present studies were conducted on the incidence, control haematobiochemical and economical impact on haemoorotozoan diseases to know the status of different haemoprotozoa like Theileria, Trypanosoma , Babesia and Anaplasma in cattle and buffaloes in the different parts of Jhakhand and also for developing an effective therapeutic package control against babesiasis theileriasis and trypanosomiasis in the animal. Further this studies were also include to calculate the economic loss/gain in terms of milk production and draught power in the animals infected with different haemoprotozoa. For this, Buparvaquone @ 2.5 mg/kg b.wt intramuscularly, Quinapyramine @ 4.4 mg/kg b.wt subcutaneously and Diminazene aceturate @ 16mg/kg b.wt. intramuscularly were tried against theileriasis, trypanosomiasis and babesiasis respectively along with supportive therapy as and when needed. The effectiveness of the drugs was ecaluated on the basis of criteria taken into account. The total studies have been summarized as follows:- 1. The overall incidence of different haemoprotozoa infection in cattle and buffaloes together was found to be 20.03 percent while the overall individual Anaplasma, Theileria, Trypanosoma and Babesia spp. Infections were 6.70,5.72,5.46 and 2.80 percent respectively. 2. An average of 20.86 percent cattle and 17.19 percent buffaloes were found to be infected with different haemoprotozoa, However, Theileria sp. Infection was more (7.32%) in cattle in comparison to Anaplasma (7.23%) Trypanosoma (3.28%) and Babesia (3.03%) infection. The Trypanoso,a Sp infection was found to be much more(10.03% in buffaloes as compared to Anaplasma (4.87%) Babesia (2.01%) and Theileria spp (0.003%) infection. 3. The age- wise incidence study of the haemoprotozoa infection in cattle showed that animals of above 2 years had higher (24.40%)degree of infection followed by 1-2 years (14.77%) and below 1- year (7.76%) animals. The Babesia and Trypanosoma spp. Infections were found to be absent in animals below one year of age whereas above 2 years of cattle these infections were considerably higher (3.95 and 5.50%, respectively) but this group of animals was equally susceptible to Theileria and Anaplasma spp. Infections.The trends of incidence of haemoprotozoa infection in buffaloes were almost similar to the cattle except the Theileria sp. Infection which was observed to be very low. 4. The area-wise incidence of haemoprotozoa infection in cattle indicated higher degree of infection in the animals of Ranchi (25.94%) followed by Dumka (20.30%), East Singhbhum (18.60%) and Palamau (13.39%). The Anaplasma sp. Infection was observerd be in the same trend.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on The Application Of Helminthic Disease Control Packages In Bovines And Their Adoption By The Farmers In Some Areas Of Jharkhand(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2002) Ajit Kumar; K.D.PrasadFor obtaining almost complete recovery in health, milk production and draught power capability in cattle buffaloes, cattle calves, buffalo calves and working bullocks and buffaloes infected with helminthic infections, the application of parasite control package of practices was found to be very satisfactory and encouraging. As such, similar package of practices would be in our opinion very useful to achieve sustainable control against the helminth parasites infecting domestic animals. However there is need to verify the present findings after application on still larger population of animals in both organized and unorganized farming conditions. In addition, such type of study was found useful in convincing the animal farmers to adopt package of practices for the long term sustainable control of different helminthic diseases affecting livestock.ThesisItem Open Access Genetic Studies of Characters Contributing Yield and Quality in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2002) Shashi Kiran Tirkey; V.KerkettaThe present investigation was carried out with a set of thirty nine entries including parents and twenty eight crosses, obtained through Line x Testers mating design. Genetic parameters both for yield and quality contributing characters were studied by working out the extent of variation genotypic and phenotypic co-efficient of variation heritability estimates, genetic advance, degree of association of different yield components, heterosis percent and combining ability analysis through Line X Tester analysis proposed by Kempthorne (1957) have been done by a number of workers in wheat. The analysis of variance revealed that highly significant difference for all the character. The parents crosses, and parents vrs crosses were found to be significantly different for all the characters. The analysis of variance revealed that significant differences among genotypes indicating the sufficient variation for effective selection. The estimates of phenotypic variance were higher than that of genotype variance. The highest phenotypic variance as well as genotypic variance were observed for the character loaf volume and lowest for the character dry gluten. The highest phenotypic co- efficient of variation as well as genotypic co-efficient of variation was observed for the character wet gluten (18.67 per cent and 18.34 per cent respectively.) The character protein content ,1000 grain weight and yield per hectare had high heritability and moderate genetic advance. Moderate genetic heritability and moderate genetic advance. Moderate genetic heritability percent with lower genetic advance shown by the Character hectoliter weight. Loaf volume had higher genetic advance and moderate genetic co-efficient of variation but moderately low heritability estimates and moderately low genetic advance. The result of character association studies in the present investigation revealed that grain yield was significantly revealed that grain yield was significantly correlated with 1000 grain weight and three other Characters namely hectoliter weight, sedimentation value and protein content were also positively and significantly correlated with grain yield. The qualitative character SDS sedimentation value was highly associated with protein content wet gluten dry gluten protein content and loaf volume, and the character wet gluten was strongly associate with dry gluten protein content and loaf volume. The analysis of variance for combining ability revealed highly significant mean square estimates due to general combining ability effects. The magnitude of specific combining ability effects was higher than that of general combining ability effects for all the characters. Two best crosses namely HUW 234x HP1744 and K 9902 UP 2472 were found on the basis of mean performance , specific combining ability effect, heterosis per cent and general combining ability effect and for the qualitative character sedimentation value two crosses WH 729 x Up 2472 and BAU 48xHD2285 were found both had high specific combining ability effects and significant positive heterosis. Parents were also found to be good combiners. Beside these four combination four other crosses namely BAUW1915 xHD2285 for the character days to 75 per cent flowering and days to 75 per cent maturity. HP 1731 xNW1012 for the character hectoliter weight and 1000 grain weight BAUW 1915x1744 for the character hectoliter weight wet gluten and dry gluten and K 9902 x HP1744 for the loaf volume had exhibited significant positive specific combining ability effects high positive heterosis over mid parent and better and parent had posistive and significant general combining ability effects for various characters.ThesisItem Open Access Nitrogen And Phosphorus Nutrition in Glandiolus CV.

The rose reigns supreme as the “Queen of flowers”. It belongs to family Rosacea. Great diversity in plant growth, color of flowers , flower , shape, Fragrance , slow opening of flowers and good keeping quality made roses so popular that it is grown commercially to meet the demand of cut flowers. At present, roses dominate in the group of cut flower crop. Pre and post – harvest management of cut flower is of utmost importance to ensure their long- lasting quality. Selection of suitable cultivars, optimum growing temperature and management of crop are main factors which determine the post –harvest quality of flower. Use of cheaper and easily available floral preservative should be promoted to extend flower longevity. Hence the experiment entitled “Flower bud development and vase life studies in roses” was conducted in winter season 2000-2001. In this experiment, the same age group of plants as well as similar standard cultural practices was adopted for 25 cultivars of rose. All Treatments were replicated thrice in a Randomized Block Design during the course of studies. The post-harvest studies comprised of twenty five varieties tested in tap water and 3% sucrose solution replicated thrice in completely Randomized Design. The results of the experimental studies in roses revealed that the cultivar lover’s meeting had the longest stem length (46.45cm). The cultivars Ace of hearts recorded the longest leaf length (5.19cm) and largest leaf area(8.20cm2). The cultivar Mrinalini had the maximum number of leaves per stem (13.83), while confidence had greatest leaf width (3.36cm) , petal area (27.03cm2), diameter of expended flower (12.67cm), longest polar diameter at initial bud stage . B1, B2, B3 stages and diameter at B4, B5, B6 stages. The cultivar Mattgod had Maximum horizontal diameter at B1, B2, B3, stage and number of petals /flower (62.60) “Abha” had the highest percentage of five leaflets per leaf (35%) and biggest initial horizontal diameter. Flower lasted on the plant for the longest time (20.0days) in cultivar Lagerfeld. The cultivar sunking was earliest to reach B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 stage. The cultivar “sound” had highest number of prickles. Longevity of flower on plant is significantly positively correlated with length of flower stem and number of leaves per stem. In post-harvest studies, cultivar mrinalini showed the least loss in weight at senescence and longest vase life in both the treatments. “Lady X” had the largest diameter and uptake of water was highest in cultivar love in both the treatments. The Longevity of rose cut flowers in 3% sucrose solution was increased in all the treatments. Association analysis indicated that total water uptake, loss in weight at senescence and flower diameter had positive correlation with vase life in tap water and sucrose.ThesisItem Open Access Scientific Rationale And Farmers Perception of Indigenous Agricultural Technologies in Dumka District(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2002) Rao Rawish Ranjan; R.P.Singh "Ratan "1.Majority of the Farmer respondents were young in age, belonging to the tribal community, illiterate with small and marginal size of holdings and almost no participation in social organisation having low socio- economic Status. 2.The respondent belonging to agriculturally progressive and less progressive villages were more or less on the same plane with respect to selected socio-personal and economic characteristics except caste house type and possession of farm implements. 3.Major Portion of the Cultivable land area in the study villages fell into the category of moderately -endowed situation followed by poorly-endowed and well endowed situations.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on From And Q/I Relation Ship of Potassium in A Continuously Cropped And Fertilized Acid Soil(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2002) Manish Kumar; N.K. RanaWith a view to evaluate the effect of long term use of fertilizer and Manures under continuous cropping on soil fertility in respect of k uptake by soybean, different forms of K and quantity – intensity relationship, the present study was undertaken. Taking the post- harvest soil and plant samples of long term fertiliser experiment under Kharif 1999. The lowest total K uptake (5.62Kgha-1) by soybean crop was found in 100% N+W and the highest (82.70kg ha-1) in 100% NPK +FYM+W treatment followed by 100% NPK+L+W(80.39Kg ha-1).The plot 100% N+W had even lower K uptake compared to control plot (11.37Kgha-1)ThesisItem Open Access Studies on Enterpathologenicity of Enterpathogenic organisms from Fishes sold in Local Market(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2002) Elagbam Motina; Rajendra YadavA Total of 120 Samples comprising 30 each if skin surface gill, muscles and intestine from fishes sold in local market of Ranchi were examined for bacterial loads of standard plate count (SPC), coliform count (CC) and faecal streptococcal count (FSC). All the samples taken from intenstine, gills and skin surface were positive for SPC, and CC but out of 30 muscle samples 26 were positive for FSC. The bactrial loads of SPC and FSC were muscles but in cc highest was founs in intestine followed by skin surface, gills and muscles. The comparison of different positive samples at different loads of SPC were all non- significant except in the range of 6-7/ g of intestine with muscles.
