    Use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by Clusterbean Growers of Bikaner District (Rajasthan)
    (DEPARTMENT OF EXTENSION EDUCATION COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER, 2018) RAKESH KUMAR; A.K. Jhajharia
    ICTs can be broadly interpreted as technologies that facilitate communication and transmission of information by electronic means. In this study ICTs is operationalised as the use of communication devices or applications by the farmers encompassing mobile phone, Internet, Kisan Call Centers for obtaining information. ICTs can make agriculture more remunerative and a fruitful occupation by providing latest information. It saves money, time and efforts and reduces dependency on so many factors in the chain of extension. With this point of view the present study was undertaken with following specific objectives.

    Regeneration Protocol for Guava (Psidium guajava L.) and it’s Molecular Analysis
    (DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, BIKANER. SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER (RAJ.), 2014) RAKESH KUMAR; Govind Singh
    A protocol for regeneration has been developed for Guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Udaipur 1 and Udaipur 2. High frequency regeneration of immature fruit (mesocarp) was achieved on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0 mgl-1 Kinetin, 100 mgl-1 Ascorbic acid, 400 mgl-1 L-Glutamine with 6 per cent sucrose and shoot tip was achieved on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mgl-1 BAP and 500 mgl-1 L-Glutamine with 6 per cent sucrose.
