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 Status and Market opportunities of Farmer Producer Organization in Kanpur and Agra Districts of Uttar Pradesh(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner – 334006, 2019) PRAVIN KUMAR BHARDWAJ; Satyveer Singh MeenaFarmers’ organizations are inclusive of the small and marginal are charged with the purpose of becoming a market outlet for smallholder farmers in India. Improving farmers’ income-earning capability and agricultural productivity has been an important strategy of India’s agriculture development policy. Farmers' Organizations (FOs) play an important role in the form of an institutional vehicle to promote agricultural development through the help of farmers in solving common problems related to agricultural inputs, loans, technical knowledge and marketing of produce. The aim of all these services is to improve agricultural activities and to enable them to gain economic benefits to maintain them. The initiation has been taken by the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture to mainstream the idea of “promoting” and “strengthening” member-based institutions of farmers in India. As per the statistics of Small Farmers’ Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC), out of 833 registered FPOs in India, 144 FPOs are functioning in Madhya Pradesh, followed by Karnataka 120, Maharashtra 100 and Uttar Pradesh 50 respectively.ThesisItem Open Access Consumer behaviour towards Fertilizers in meerut District of Uttar Pradesh(SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER, 2022) Mayank Tyagi; Satyveer Singh MeenaAgriculture has historically been the foundation of economic growth, providing vital forward and backward connections to other industries. About 43 per cent of India's land area is devoted to this agriculture (Kekane 2013). India is currently one of the world's top two farm producers, accounting for 18.5 per cent of the country's GDP (Gross domestic product) and 11 per cent of its exports, with half of its population still dependent on agriculture as their primary source of income. A huge number of enterprises rely on Indian agriculture for raw materials (Government of India, Ministry of Agriculture 2021). Furthermore, as India's population reaches 1.38 billion by around 2025 ,the yearly demand for food is expected to rise to 325 million metric tonnes, while production is expected to remain stable at 250 million metric tonnes which was 257.13 million metric tonnes in 2013. Surely, that will be the darkest phase of the economic crisis, when individuals will be forced to walk about with begging bowls in order to survive. (Hegde 2000). High soil productivity, balanced crop nutrition, optimum fertiliser dose administration, efficient water management, improved crops, improved crop protection, and post-production strategic planning for value addition and commercialization are all essential components in agriculture's growth. Fertilizer efficiency in agricultural output can only be ensured if it is applied in the proper mix for the soil and according to climatic conditions in the area. This needs the timely delivery of adequate quantities of all sorts of fertilisers (Ramana 2009).Over last two decades, fertiliser has been increasingly vital in India.ThesisItem Open Access “Market Analysis of Major Insecticides on Peach in Dehradun District of Uttarakhand”(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner, 2022) Gagandeep Singh; Amita SharmaThe Chapter is covers the information about peach crop, world, India and utharakand scenario, major insects/pests insectside scenario in India.ThesisItem Open Access Management of Web Blight light of Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] Incited by Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn)(College of Agriculture, Bikaner Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner, 2017) PRIYANKA; S.L. GodaraCowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is an important food legume which belongs to family Fabaceae. Cowpea originated in Africa and widely growing in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Central and South America (Quinn, 1999). Cowpea has great ecological diversity (Oyewale and Bamaiyi, 2013) and exhibits different morphological forms like an annual or perennial, erect to climbing herb and reaching heights of 15 - 80 cm with a strong tap root and many spreading lateral roots in the surface soil (Sheahan, 2012). The leaves are trifoliate; inflorescences are axillary with few crowded flowers near the tip in alternate pairs. According to Timko et al. (2007), all cultivated cowpea varieties are considered warm season crops that exhibit a wide range of growth habits and adapted to heat and drought conditions. The species has a unique ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen with its nodules and performs well even in poor soils with more than 85 per cent sand, less than 0.2 per cent organic matter and low levels of phosphorus (Bilatu Agza et al., 2012) and also serves as a residue, which benefits the succeeding crops. It is also a shade tolerant crop and therefore, compatible as an intercrop with a number of cereals and root crops, as well as with cotton, sugarcane and several plantation crops. Coupled with these attributes, its quick growth and rapid ground cover have made cowpea an essential component of sustainable subsistence agriculture in marginal lands and drier regions of the tropics, where rainfall is scanty and soils are sandy (Sheahan, 2012). Cowpea is also known as vegetable meat due to high amount of protein in the grain with better biological value on dry weight basis. The grain contains 26.61 per cent protein, 3.99 per cent lipid, 56.24 per cent carbohydrates, 8.60 per cent moisture, 3.84 per cent ash, 1.38 per cent crude fibre, 1.51 per cent gross energy and 54.85 per cent nitrogen free extract (Owolabi et al., 2012).ThesisItem Open Access Market size Analysis of PGR and Adjuvant segment in Nashik District of Maharashtra(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner – 334006, 2021) Waghmare Harshal Sanjay; Meenakshi ChaudharyMarket investigation ponders the engaging quality and the elements of an extraordinary market inside an uncommon industry.

It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, being important to both small and large commercial producers. It is classified as both a grain legume and, oil crop of its high oil content. Peanuts are known by many other local names such as earthnuts, ground nuts, goober peas, monkey nuts, pygmy nuts and pig nuts. Despite its name and appearance, thee peanut is not a nut, but rather a legume. Peanuts grow best in light, sandy loam soil with a pH of 5.9–7. Their capacity to fix nitrogen means that, providing them nodulate properly, peanuts benefit little or not at all from nitrogen-containing fertilizer, and they improve soil fertility. Therefore, they are valuable in crop rotations. Also, the yield of the peanut crop itself as increased in rotations, through reduced diseases, pests and weeds. They have a rich nutty flavor, sweet taste, crunchy texture and over and above a relatively longer shelf life. Soil conditions in some producing regions are ideally suited for dry, clean and spotless Groundnuts in Shell . India is the second largest producer of groundnuts in the world. Indian groundnuts are available in different varieties: Bold or Runner, Java or Spanash and Red Natal.ThesisItem Open Access Comprehensive Study on Maize Storage in Purnea District of Bihar(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner- 334006, 2022) Veer Pratap Singh; Satyveer Singh MeenaTo better their people's level of living, emerging countries strive for agricultural, industrial, technological, and economic progress. The creation of a well-planned warehouse network is critical for both domestic and international trade, as well as public distribution of needed commodities. Warehousing is an important part of the trade, commerce, and physical distribution infrastructure. In today's world of economic flexibility, manufacturers and distributors compete for the most sales, resulting in fierce price and service rivalry. It is critical to store products in strategic areas for effective sales promotion and physical distribution. As a result, exporters, importers, and distributors at major marketing centres have a high demand for warehousing- cum-distribution centre facilities. Food security and agricultural growth have been connected to warehousing in India. In the 1950s, the central government developed state-owned and regulated warehousing enterprises to improve agricultural commodity storage. Non-agricultural sectors, such as retail commerce, have felt the need for warehousing over the last two decades. Warehousing is today considered an important aspect of the supply chain, as it is where commodities are not only stored for safekeeping, but also where other value processes are carried out, reducing waste and expenses. Furthermore, storage has become an important aspect in allowing food producers to obtain credit through pledge finance.ThesisItem Open Access Market Analysis of Makhana (Foxnut) in Purnia district of Bihar(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner – 334006, 2022) Vasundhara; Seema TyagiEuryale ferox Salisb is a major crop in the Nymphaeaceae family.
