ThesisItem Open Access A Study on Consumer Behaviour of Fungicide Usage of Rice Crop in Rudarpur, Uttrakhand(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner – 334006, 2022) Shivansh Tomar; Vivek VyasAgriculture is the support of India's food security, despite the entry’s enormous population and rapid growth. Agriculture employs more than 70% of the population. Over half of the country's workforce is employed in this industry, making it the biggest private sector job by far. The Indian government places a high priority on agriculture's success because of its role in the country's food security and employment. In 1950-51, agriculture's contribution to GDP was 55.4 percent; in 1960-61, it was 52 percent; and in 2012-13, it is just 13.7 percent. In addition, small and marginal farmers with relatively modest landholdings dominate Indian agriculture. Farming is the primary occupation of the vast majority of the population. Small and home-based businesses that rely on agriculture for raw materials and food are supported by this industry.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Different Shade Net Colour and Intensity on Growth, Yield and Quality of Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) in Western Rajasthan(College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, 2021) ANITA SAINI; R.S. RathoreVegetables are key sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C. Among the vegetable crops tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) is 2 nd most important vegetable crop after potato. It belongs to family Solanaceae. In India, it is grown throughout the year particularly in the vicinity of cities. Tomato is an important “protective food” because of its special nutritive value and versatile wide uses. It is eat up as ripe as well as in green stage. Green tomatoes are consumed as cooked vegetables and also used for pickles. Ripe tomatoes are used for making soup, juice, ketchup, sauce, puree, salad, chutney and many other products. It is an important crop for processing industry and canned vegetable tomato, top in the list amongst the processed products. Tomato fruits are rich source of carbohydrate (3.63 g), protein (0.9 g), vitamin A (585 IU), vitamin C (26 mg), starch (0.6-1.2 %), minerals like calcium (48 mg) iron (0.4 mg) and phosphorus (0.2- 0.8 g) per 100 gram of edible portion (Aykroyd, 1963) . It is known as “the poor man`s orange”. It not only possesses medicinal properties but also said to be excellent blood purifier. Pulp and juice of tomato are digestible and promoter of gastric secretions.ThesisItem Open Access Market Potential Analysis of Pandanus Fascicularis in Ganjam District of Odisha(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner – 334006, 2022) Tanmaya Kumar Behera; Vivek VyasIndia is mostly an agricultural country with abundant natural resources. Agriculture continues to be the largest employer, with over 60% of the population relying on it for their livelihood, either directly or indirectly. (Vandana Tyagi 2012). Agriculture's growth has a direct impact on poverty eradication due to its higher reliance character, and it was thought necessary that, in order to achieve the objective of an equal society, agriculture's development to its full potential must come to occupy a main role in the Indian economy. Its growth also aids in the management of inflation, the rise of agricultural wages, and the expansion of employment. It also opens up a lot of possibilities for dealing between wholesalers and retailers. What's more crucial is that, despite these significant material benefits to the economy, it is a way of life, unique and adds human values (Amarendra Reddy2013). Farmers, on the other hand, are unable to obtain an acceptable price for their crops due to rising production costs and the significant role played by middlemen. This has a significant impact on their standard of living. Floriculture is a key aspect of agricultural production. This agricultural activity is no exception to the trend, which is projected to result in the same condition of low product remuneration. The purpose of this study is to look into Kewda flower cultivation and market potential in the Ganjam area of Odisha, as well as the distribution methods.ThesisItem Open Access Response of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) to Weed Control Measures and Nutrient Management(College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, 2022) POOJA KUMARI MEENA; R.C. BairwaHistorically, India has been recognized as “Land of Spices” and also known as to the world “The home of spices”. Spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark or vegetative substance primarily used for flavoring or coloring food. Ancient people used spices, not only to enhance flavour to foods and beverages, but, are some of the time utilized as solutions, disinfectants, incenses, stimulants, religious ritual, cosmetics or perfume production. Most of these spices are mixtures of both volatile and non-volatile nutritious components and have been used as a therapeutic meal for generations. The power of seed spices to impart biological activity is progressively reviving as a research area in human health. Secondary metabolites, also known as phytochemicals, are naturally occurring, physiologically active chemical compounds found in plants that operate as a natural defence mechanism for host plants and have previously been exploited as medications, perfumes, and flavour components. (Rathore et al. 2013).ThesisItem Open Access In vitro Micropropagation of Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. Bhagwa(College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, 2022) POOJA; Susheel. KumarPomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an important fruit that is grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. It is commonly known as Anar. Pomegranate is a fruit-bearing deciduous small tree and belongs to the family of Punicaceae. Iran is the starting place of pomegranate and unfolds during the Mediterranean place of Asia, Africa, and Europe (Sepulveda et al., 2000). According to Smith (1979), Punica granatum has 2n=2x=16 and 18 chromosomes. The chromosomes in somatic enhancement of Dholka, Ganesh, Khandhari, Muscat White, and Patiala sorts became observed to be 2n=16, at the same time as the double flower range had 2n=18 (Nath and Randhawa, 1959). The chromosomes in Vellodu and Kashmiri sorts became additionally observed to be 2n=18 . Floral biology of pomegranate has divulged that both self and cross-pollination in Pomegranate. The pollen from male flowers offers a better fruit set than the ones from the hermaphrodite ones. The Pomegranate fruit type is balausta, which is a modified berry containing numerous seeds. Punica granatum has two subspecies viz. Chlorocarpa and Porphyrocarpa, the former is located in the Transcaucasus region, the latter in Central Asia (Patil et al., 2002).ThesisItem Open Access Assessment of Agri Warehousing Facilities in Rajnandgaon District of Chhattisgarh(Institute of Agri Business Management Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, 2022) Ponsakthivel P; Satyveer Singh MeenaAgriculture is a significant part of the Indian economy, accounting for about 19.9 per cent of total GDP and provides employment opportunity for more than 60 per cent of the population. India is one of the leading producers of agricultural products like paddy, wheat, pulses, groundnuts, rapeseeds, fruits, vegetables, sugarcane, tea, jute, cotton, tobacco leaves etc. Before reaching the market, each commodity has to go through a series of processes such as harvesting, threshing, winnowing, bagging, transportation, storage, processing, and exchange, where producers incur production and processing losses and price risk. The present study was carried out to examine existing public and private agri warehouses in Rajnandgaon District of Chhattisgarh and to study the awareness level among the farmers regarding the agri warehouse facilities and their utilization pattern and analyse the constraints faced by stakeholders. Convenient sampling technique was employed to select 60 respondent farmers and using judgmental sampling technique 10 traders and 10 warehouse supervisors were selected for the study based on warehouse location.ThesisItem Open Access Molecular Aspects of Drought Tolerance in Pearl millet [(Pennisetum glaucum) L. (Br.)](College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, 2017) PARBHJEET KAUR; V. P. AgarwalEnvironmental stresses, such as drought, salinity, cold and heat cause adverse effects on the plant growth and development. Drought stress, the major constrain for crop productivity, is affecting 1/3 of arable land world-wide and will probably increase in the on-going climate changes. Drought, being the most important environmental stress, severely impairs plant growth and development, limits plant production and the performance of crop plants, more than any other environmental factor (Shao et al., 2009). Drought impacts include growth, yield, membrane integrity, pigment content, osmotic adjustment, water relations, and photosynthetic activity (Benjamin and Nielsen, 2006; Praba et al., 2009). Drought stress is affected by climatic, edaphic and agronomic factors. The susceptibility of plants to drought stress varies in dependence of stress degree, different accompanying stress factors, plant species, and their developmental stages (Demirevska et al., 2009). Acclimation of plants to water deficit is the result of different events, which lead to adaptive changes in plant growth and physio-biochemical processes, such as changes in plant structure, growth rate, tissue osmotic potential and antioxidant defenses (Duan et al., 2007).ThesisItem Open Access An Economic Analysis of Agricultural Labour in Rajasthan(College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, 2022) PANKAJ KUMAR MEENA; Shirish SharmaIndia is a vast country and it covers 3.287 million km2 geographical area in the world. India has comprising 28 states and 8 Union Territory. India is the world's second-most populous country, and it covers the 17.70% population comparison to the world. India has 1,210,193,422 population were reported of India (Census, 2011). Agriculture is primary sector of the Indian economy. The data provided by the census (2001) of India reveals that about 69 per cent of the total workers were engaged in agriculture and allied activities in the year 1981; while in the year 1991 the share of agriculture in total employment slightly declined to 68 per cent and nearly 70 per cent of the rural and 8 per cent of the urban households still depend on it for employment and livelihood (Bhakar et.al., 2007).ThesisItem Open Access Standardization of Recipe and Storage Studies of Blended Aloe vera Squash(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner, Rajasthan-334006, 2022) RITURAJ SHESHMA; Susheel KumarAloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller), the herb Aloe vera is as old as human civilization. It belongs to the family “Liliaceae”. The genus is found in Tropical and Southern Africa and Arabica. It was introduced into other parts of the world for ornamental purposes (Reynolds, 1985). The word Aloe is derived from the Arabic word “Alloeh”, meaning “bitter and shiny” substance while “vera” in Latin means “true.” Today, the Aloe vera plant has been used for various purposes in dermatology (Surjushe et al. 2008). Several species of the genus aloe have been in use under the common name of aloe viz., Aloe vera, Aloe barbadensis, Aloe ferox, Aloe chinensis, Aloe indica etc. Among these, Aloe vera Linn Syn. Aloe barbadensis Miller are accepted unanimously as the correct botanical source of aloe. In most of the references, Aloe barbadensis Miller is regarded as the correct name (Saroj et al, 2004).
