ThesisItem Open Access Comparative Study of Beneficiary and Non- Beneficiary Farmers of National Horticulture Mission (NHM) regarding Improved Kinnow Production Technology in Sri Ganganagar District of Rajasthan(COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER, 2021) SANJU MEENA; MANMEET KAURAgriculture plays a key role in the development of the economy of the nation. It is the primary source of livelihood for about 58 per cent of India‟s population (Anonymous, 2021 a ) and contributes to the supply of raw material for construction, good wages for workers in different agriculture & allied sectors and development of products industry in market. In the whole agriculture, horticulture is the most profitable merchandise of all farming activities as it provides ample job opportunities and scope for income generation for the farming community (Choudhary, 2013). Horticulture has emerged as a viable option for land use planning, employment generation, higher agricultural returns and most prominently ensuring nutritional security of the country. The rapid increase in the cultivation and production of horticultural crops is known as “Golden Revolution”. Production of horticulture crops in India was estimated at a record 326.6 million tons in financial year 2021 as per the first advance estimates (Anonymous, 2021 b ). From the present share, India contributes 9.7% in fruits and 13.6% in vegetables from all over the world (Khatri et al., 2019).ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Foliar Spray of Plant Growth Regulators on Flowering, Fruit drop, Yield and Quality of Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk) in Arid Conditions(COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER, 2020) KISHORE KUMAR DAS; P. K. YadavBer (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk), the poor man’s fruit is one of the most ancient and common indigenous fruit in India and belongs to family Rhamnaceae. According to De Candolle (1886), the centre of origin for this fruit crop is central Asia and it is found growing wild as well as in cultivated forms throughout the warmer regions up to an altitude of 1500 meters above mean sea level. It can be successfully grown even in the most marginal ecosystems of the sub-tropics and tropics (Pareek, 2001). Ber is popular due to its high economic returns, low cost of cultivation, wider adaptability and ability to withstand drought (Gupta, et al. 1983). The Indian jujube is native of Province of Yunnan in southern China to Afghanistan, Malaysia and Queensland, Australia. Ber has been in use for almost 4000 years in India. It is cultivated to some extent throughout its natural range but mostly in India where it is grown commercially and has received much horticultural attention and refinement despite the fact that it frequently escapes pests. Specimens are scattered about the drier parts of the West Indies, the Bahamas, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala, Belize, and southern Florida. In Barbados, Jamaica and Puerto Rico the tree is naturalized and forms thickets in uncultivated areas. Zizyphus sp. found growing wild, semi wild and also cultivated in almost all parts of India. The major growing states are Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. Ber occupied an area of 858 thousand hectare with an annual production of 481 thousand MT per year in India (NHB, 2017).ThesisItem Open Access Studies on Value Addition of Aonla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn.) Varieties(Department of Horticulture College of Agriculture, Bikaner Rajasthan Agricultural University, 2008) Madan Lal Choudhary; I.M. VermaThe present study was carried out at the Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner (Rajasthan) during 2006-07. The experimental material consisted of three cultivars of aonla and six recipes of different beverages (squash, syrup and nectar) and chutney. There were 18 treatment combinations with three replications. The experiment was carried out in completely randomized design with factorial arrangement. The fruits of aonla cultivars were analysed for chemical characters at full maturity. The value added products prepared from different cultivars and recipes were also analysed periodically at 30 days interval for their various physico-chemical constituents parameters.ThesisItem Open Access Genetic Variability and Character Association in Pea (Pisum sativum L.)(Department of Horticulture S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner - 303329 Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner, 2010) PRAMOD KUMAR KUMAWAT; Prabhakar SinghGenetic variability, character association and path coefficient analysis were studied for 14 yield and its component characters in 20 genotypes of pea (Pisum sativum L.) grown in Randomized Block Design with three replications during rabi, 2009-10 at the Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner.ThesisItem Open Access Standardization of Micro-propagation Techniques in Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis Osbec) cv. Blood Red(Department of Horticulture College of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner, 2013) JYOTI KANWAR; M.K.KaulThe present investigation entitled, “Standardization of micro-propagation techniques in Sweet Orange cv. Blood Red” was carried out at the Tissue Culture Laboratory, epartment of Horticulture, Agricultural Research Station, Sriganganagar during the year 2011-2012 to 2012-13. Several aspects such as establishment of axenic culture, axillary bud proliferation, rooting in micro-shoots and in vitro shoot tip grafting formed various parts of the entire investigation.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on the conjunctive use of organic sources with fertilizers in brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) and its residual effect on vegetable guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba)(DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, BIKANER SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER, 2011) BRIJ GOPAL CHHIPA; Atul ChandraA field experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on growth, yield and quality of brinjal cv. Pusa Kranti and its residual effect on vegetable guar during year 2006-2009, at Horticulture farm, college of Agriculture, Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner (Rajasthan).ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Calcium Chloride and Gibberellic Acid on Shelf life of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Fruit.(DEPARTMENT OF HORTICULTURE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER (RAJASTHAN) - 334006, 2018) OMPRAKASH; Susheel KumarThe present investigation entitled “Effect of Calcium Chloride and Gibberellic acid on shelf life of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) fruits” was conducted jointly at Date Palm Research Centre, Plant Biotechnology Centre and Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Beechwal, Bikaner during August 2017. In the experiment, Khalal (Doka) stage freshly harvested fruits of date palm variety Barhee were treated with different concentrations of CaCl2 (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% ) and GA3 (0, 25, 50 and 75 ppm) and stored in polyethylene bags at 5ºC. The observations on the stored fruits were recorded after every 5th day of storage upto 15th day.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Different Fertility Levels and Bio-organics on Growth, Yield and Quality of Garlic (Allium sativum L.)(2012) Nirmala Jajoria; R. PALIWALA field experiment was conducted to study the Effect of different fertility levels and bio-organics on growth, yield and quality of garlic (Allium sativum L.) during rabi season 2011-12 at Horticulture farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner. The experiment consisted of twenty treatment combinations with four fertility levels (control, 50% RDF, 75% RDF and 100% RDF) and five bio-organics (control, 10 t FYM ha-1, 4 t vermicompost ha-1, 10 t FYM ha-1 + PSB and 4 t vermicompost ha-1 + PSB) in Randomized Block Design with three replications.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Plant Growth Regulators on Performance of Budding in Bael (Aegle marmelos Correa.)(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner College of Agriculture, Bikaner, 2009) YASHWANTI; M.K. SharmaThe present study entitled “Effect of plant growth regulators on performance of budding in bael (Aegle marmelos Correa.)” was carried out at Hi-Tech Nursery complex of Central Institute for Arid Horticulture, Bikaner from July, 2008 to December, 2008. In this investigation, NB-9 cultivar of bael was selected as mother plant for obtaining scion bud. The foliar spray of NAA, IBA and BA (25 and 50 ppm each) either on rootstock or/and scion wood seven days prior to budding were used. In another experiment related to micro budding, foliar sprays of NAA and BA (25 and 50 ppm each) were done on both rootstock and scion wood seven days prior to budding.
