    wn type of millet. Pearl millet has been traditionally an important grain, forage and stover crop primarily in the arid and subtropical regions of many developing countries. As pearl millet cultivation expands into non-traditional areas in temperate and developed countries. Pearl millet is an important kharif crop particularly in rain-fed area. It is also known as yellow foxtail, candle millet, pokograss, cat tail, spiked or bulrush millet while in India and Rajasthan, it is known as Bajra. In world the pearl millet crop ranks sixth in importance followed by wheat, rice, maize, barley and sorghum. It belongs to family Poaceae, sub family Panicoideae and pearl millet originated in West Africa from where it was imported into India in the early days.

    “Biology and Management of Diamondback Moth (Plutella xylostella L.) (Lepidoptera : Plutellidae) on cabbage [Brassica oleracea var. capitata]”
    (COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER (RAJ.), 2021) VIMAL SINGH RAJPUT; A. R. Naqvi
    Vegetables are the prime source of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals contributing a significant role in nutritionally balanced diet of predominantly vegetarian population of our country. More than 40 kinds of vegetables belonging to different groups are grown in India under tropical, sub tropical and temperate climatic condition. Among the various vegetables produced in India, the cool season crucifer vegetables, particularly the cabbage and cauliflower crops are most important in terms of nutritional and economic significance. Major cabbage producing countries in the world are China, India, Russia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Ukraine, Indonesia, Poland, Romania and United State of America. China ranks first in cabbage production followed by India. In India the existing estimated area under cabbage cultivation was 0.403 lakh hectare with estimated production touching around 93.69 million tonnes (Anonymous, 2019). In Rajasthan, the area and production under cabbage was 12000 hectar

    Performance and Economic Empowerment of Women Entrepreneurs in Bikaner (Rajasthan)
    (COLLEGE OF HOME SCIENCE, SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER (Raj.), 2021) TARUNA; Dr. (Mrs.) Deepali Dhawan
    “Freedom depends on economic condition even more than political. If the woman is not economically free and self-earning, she has to depend on her husband or son or father or someone-else and dependents are never free”. -Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Empowerment has been defined as an intentional ongoing process centered in the local community, involving mutual respect, critical reflection, caring, and group participation, through which people lacking an equal share of valued resources gain greater access to and control over those resources; or a process by which people gain control over their lives, democratic participation in the life of their community, and a critical understanding of their environment (Perkins & Zimmerman,1995).

    Influence of Different Tillage and Fertilizer Management Practices on Growth, Yield and Quality of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Sandy Soil of Western Rajasthan
    (COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE, SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER (Raj.), 2021) TANUJA POONIA; S. M. Kumawat
    Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is commonly called as poor man’s almond. It is world's fourth most important source of edible oil and third most important source of vegetable protein. It contains about 40-45 per cent oil, 25 per cent protein and 18 per cent carbohydrates in addition to minerals and vitamins. India is the largest producer of oilseeds in the world and oilseed sector occupies an important position in the agricultural economy of the country (Rai et al., 2016). In India total area under groundnut is 4.81 million ha with total production 6.69 million tones and productivity of 1393 kg ha -1 (Anonymous, 2018-19).While in Rajasthan, area under groundnut is 7.39 lakh hectares with a production of 16.19 lakh tones and productivity about 2191 kg ha -1 (Anonymous, 2019-20). In Western part of Rajasthan, groundnut is cultivated mainly in the districts of Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Nagaur and Sikar in tube- well and canal water irrigated areas. In Bikaner district, it occupies 2.45 lakh hectare cultivated area with 5.29 lakh tones production and productivity around 2169 kg ha -1 on an average (Anonymous, 2019 -20).

    Nutrient Dynamics under Wool Waste Based Nutrient Management in Bottle Gourd-Onion Cropping System in Torripsamments of Western Rajasthan
    (COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER, 2021) SUNIL KUMAR; S. R. Yadav
    India is a food surplus country at present with about 297.50 million tonnes food grain productions in 2020 (Anonymous, 2020). If the current population growth pattern continues, an additional 9-10 Mt of food grains will be needed each year. At the national level, it is estimated that 35-36 million tonnes of nutrients get extracted from the soil each year, while only 24-25 Mt are supplied from external inputs such as fertilizers and organic sources, resulting in a 11 Mt annual negative balance (NAAS, 2018). To feed a population of around 1.6 billion by 2035, India will need to produce 355.5 million tonnes of food grains, which will require about 51 million tonnes of nutrients, of which about 41 million tonnes will have to be supplied from chemical fertilisers. The remaining requirement has to be met from crop residues, organic manures and bio-fertilizers. Deterioration of soil health is considered as the main cause for the decline in yield of crops. The impaired soil health is due to imbalanced fertilizers use coupled with low use of organic manure is much to be blamed for declining fertilizer responses and crop productivity. The improper nutrient management has therefore led to emerge as multi-nutrient deficiencies in the Indian soil. In western Rajasthan management of soil available nutrients for optimum crop yield is of paramount importance.

    Attitude and Constraints Analysis of Rural Youth towards Agriculture as a source of Livelihood in Rajasthan State
    (COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER, 2022) SREELAKSHMI C; R.K. Verma
    “Unless farming becomes both intellectually stimulating and economically rewarding, it will be difficult to attract or retain rural youth in farming” - Dr. M.S. Swaminathan 1.1 Background Information It is anticipated that global population is likely to increase to 9 billion by 2050, where in youth can contribute to 14 per cent of this total. Rural population in India is 68 per cent (90.22 crores) of which 28 per cent (35.6 crore) are youth in the age group of 10-24 years. India can be called as a relatively young nation across the globe. It is disheartening that 2 million young people are unemployed and this rate is getting multiplied every year. It further leads to tremendous cost causing social unrest and dislocation.

    Response of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to Nitrogen Levels and Seed Rate Under Different Tillage Conditions
    (COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER, 2020) MS. SOMA DEVI; S.P. Singh
    Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important staple food grain crops of India cultivated next to rice both in area and production in India, but it stands first in productivity amongst the cereals (Usadadiya and Patel, 2013). Wheat is good supplement for nutritional requirement of human body. It grains contains 65-70 per cent carbohydrate and 10-12 per cent protein. Wheat straw is an important fodder for livestock. India is the second leading producer of wheat next to China in the world. In India, wheat is cultivated in 31.5 million hectares with total production of 86.5 million tones, with average yield of 2750 kg ha -1 (Anonymous, 2015a). In Rajasthan, it is cultivated in 3.3 million hectares with total production of 9.8 million tones with an average yield of 2961 kg ha -1 . The productivity of wheat crop in the Western Rajasthan is very low (858 kg ha -1 ) as compared to potential yield (Anonymous, 2015b).
