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 “Genetic Variability and Character Association in Clusterbean [Cyamopsis (L) Taub.]”(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner (Raj.), 2019) PRAHLAD SINGH DHAKA; M.M. SharmaCluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.)Taub] is an annual legume crop mostly grown under resource constrained conditions in arid and semi-arid regions (Kumar, 2005). Cluster bean is a deep rooted plant of Leguminosae (Fabaceae) family known for drought and high temperature tolerance (Kumar and Rodge, 2012). Vavilov (1951) has suggested that India as a geographic center of variability for guar, although it is not found to exist in wild state in this region. Gillet (1958) emphasized that Cyamopsis is distinct genus with tropical Africa as its probable center of origin. Hymowitz and Matlock (1963), on the other hand believed that African wild species C. senegalensis appears to be of African origin, yet it has been domesticated through centuries in the North Eastern region of Indo-Pakistan sub- continent. Cluster bean can be used for multiple purposes (vegetable, cattle feed/fodder or green manure). Its young pods are used as vegetables, which also known for cheap source of energy (16 Kcal), moisture (8 g), protein (3.2 g), fat (1.4 g), carbohydrate(10.8 g), Vitamin A (65.3 IU), Vitamin C (49 mg), calcium (57 mg) and iron (4.5 mg) for every 100 g of edible portion (Kumar and Singh, 2002). Leaves of guar are eaten to cure night blindness. Like other legumes guar has feature of formation of root nodules through nitrogen fixing bacteria and fixes about 30-40 kg N/ha.ThesisItem Open Access Response of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to Different Sulphur Levels and Application Methods under Irrigated Conditions of Rajasthan(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner (Rajasthan), 2021) PRAHALAD KUMAR PRAJAPAT; N.K. PareekChickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the third most important winter food legume in the world. In India, it is main pulse crop and mainly grown in arid and semi-arid regions on large scale during rabi season and used as Dal and flour (besan) to prepare many dishes and food products. Among the leguminous crops, chickpea occupies an important position due to its nutritious value containing 17-23% protein of high biological value and good digestibility. It is also a rich sources of carbohydrate, minerals (Ca, P, Mg and K) and some important vitamins viz. riboflavin, niacin, thiamine (Jukanti et al., 2012). Though, chick pea has relatively lower protein content in comparison to other pulses, but of higher biological value and digestibility. Chickpeas are also major source of nutritionally important unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic acids along with protein and starch (Hirdyani, 2014). Leaves and pods of chickpea contain malic acid and oxalic acid which are used in the pharmaceutical industries (Rathore, 2014). It`s grains are used as blood purifier and chickpea sprouts are also recommended to cure scurvy disease. Chickpea grains are also used as high energy and protein rich animal feed to support milk, meat and/or egg production. Moreover, chickpea straw can be used as alternative forage in ruminant diets (Bampidis and Christodoulou, 2011).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 Comparative Study of Drip Irrigation and Fertigation System over Traditional method for Tobacco Cultivation in West Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner – 334006, 2021) Yalamati Ajay Kumar; Seema TyagiTobacco cultivation in India was introduced by Portuguese in 1605. Initially tobacco was grown in Kaira and Mehsana districts of Gujarat and later spread to other areas of the country. Attempt to improve Indian tobacco has begun with the establishment of the Calcutta Botanical gardens in Howrah in 1787.In 1814, seven species of Nicotiana imported from America were cultivated in botanical gardens of Calcutta. Commercial cultivation of Virginia tobacco in India in black soils was commenced in the year 1920. Flue curing was first successfully done in 1928 at Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. (CTRI.) Tobacco is one of the world's most financially important agricultural crops. It is a drought-tolerant, hardy, and short-lived crop that may be grown on soils where other crops are ineffective. Tobacco is grown on 0.45 M ha in India (0.27 percent of the net cultivated area) producing 750 M kg approx., of tobacco leaf. After China and Brazil, India is the second largest producer and exporter. Flue- cured Virginia (FCV) tobacco is produced on an area of 0.20 million hectares, while non-FCV tobacco is produced on an area of 0.25 million hectares. In the global context, Indian tobacco accounts for 10 percent of the total land area and 9 percent of overall production.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.

Walp)”(Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner (Raj.), 2022) Vinod Kumar Meena; Susheel KumarCowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) commonly known as chawla or lobia belongs to the family Leguminoceae is one of the most important vegetable crop which is native of Central Africa. It belongs to genus Vigna having chromosome number (2n=22) is an important kharif pulse crop grown for nutritive pods, grain, forage and green manuring (Choudhary and Yadav, 2011). Cowpea is a widely grown legume food crop of the tropics and sub-tropics, used in the diet of human and other mammals. It is an annual herb having tap rootage with various growth habits i.e. erect, semi erect, climbing, bushy annual with glabrous stem. This crop has leaves in trifoliate arrangement which arise alternatively and terminal leaflet is longer having larger area than that of lateral leaflets. In addition to green vegetable, it‟s also grown for grain, fodder, catch crop, mulch crop, mixed and intercrop. Cowpea is grown mainly for its pods as a green vegetable during the summer and rainy seasons. Cowpea is a short duration crop with a high yielding capacity and fast climbing ability is relatively inexpensive source of plant protein (Pareek et al. 2003). It is necessary for the growth and maintenance of the body. Cowpea is a shade tolerant crop, so it is compatible with intercropping. It grows and develops well on poor soils containing more than 85 percent sand and less than 0.2 percent organic matter and a precipitation of 760 to 1520 mm during its growth period (Singh et al. 2003).ThesisItem Open Access Assessment of Knowledge and Utilization pattern of social media among PG students of Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University and Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Bikaner (Rajasthan)(College Of Agriculture S.K. Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner-334006, 2022) VIKASH KUMAR MEENA; Dr. A.K. JHAJHARIASocial media have been defined in a variety of ways. The definition of social media as a “platform to create profiles, make explicit and traverse relationships” by (Boyd & Ellison, 2008) has been cited over 13,000 times according to Google scholar other definitions, identifying social media by the set of functionalities or “building blocks” (Kietzmann et al. 2011), has 3,000 citations. Taxonomy of “social media” splitting the field into 6 distinctive categories (Blogs, Social Networking Sites, Collabouration Projects, Content Communities, Virtual Social Worlds, and Virtual Game Worlds) introduced by (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010), too finds resonance with 11,000 citations on Google scholar. The trend of creating new and updating old definitions continues, as does the development, use and adoption of social media (Kapoor et al. 2017). Social media are interactive computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation or sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via networks. The revolution in the IT sector has ease the access to the social media and opened up new platforms for sharing information and knowledge and enhancing the interconnectivity as a result nowadays social media has emerged as a multitasking tool that serves various needs of the individual. With the advancement of technology at a very rapid pace the pattern of communication as well its use keeps on changing.
