MARY SWARNA LATHA and R. NEELA RANI; The J. Res. PJTSAU 46(1) 43-50, 2018This study was designed to assess the psychological attributes and demographic profile of UG students between Sokoine Agriculture University of Tanzania (SUA) and India (PJTSAU) and to find out the significance of difference in psychological attribute and demographic profile of the students of both universities. Exploratory research design was adopted to conduct the study whereby 200 UG students from two colleges participated in the study. Data was analyzed using different statistical techniques which included descriptive statistics, mainly mean and standard deviation and paired sample t-test. It was hypothesized that there will be no significant difference between students of PJTSAU and SUA in psychological attributes and demographic profile of UG students .Overall, the demographic profile of the students of PJTSAU and SUA differed in certain aspects, but showed somewhat uniform trend too. Paired sample t-test revealed a significant difference on demographic profile of UG students of SUA (M= 26.32, SD=2.9) compared to PJTSAU (M= 25.20, SD=2.4); t (99) = 3.24, p < 0.01. In psychological profile the PJTSAU students (M= 8.92, SD=3.6) were above than (M= 6.87, SD=3.1); t (99) = 3.56, p < 0.04 SUA. Hence null hypothesis was rejected and empirical was accepted, as there is significant difference between students of PJTSAU and SUA in psychological attributes and demographic profile.OtherItem Open Access EGG PRODUCTION AND EGG QUALITY TRAITS IN RAJASRI BIRDS REARED UNDER SCAVENGING AND OTHER SYSTEMS OF MANAGEMENT(Department of Poultry Science, College of Veterinary Science P. V. Narsimha Rao Telangana Veterinary University Rajendranagar, Hyderabad - 500 030, 2018-03-27) V.CHINNI PREETAM, V. RAVINDER REDDY, SRINIVAS GURRAM AND S.QUDRATULLAH; The J. Res. PJTSAU 46(1) 39-42, 2018A study was conducted to evaluate the growth and production performance of Rajasri, a synthetic backyard bird during growing and laying period. The birds were reared under different systems of management and feeding regimens, ad lib feeding group (T1) reared under intensive system while 20% of ad lib (T2) and 40% of ad lib (T3) groups were reared under semi-intensive condition and T4 group was reared under scavenging at farmers backyard. The results revealed that the body weight gain was significantly (P<0.05) higher for T1 group (1085.62g) followed by T3, T2 and T4 groups respectively during growth phase (7-20 weeks). Whereas poorest FCR was recorded in T1 group (6.38) than T2 (3.32) and T3 (4.28) groups. Liveability was significantly (P<0.05) better with intensive system and least with scavenging system. The age at first egg and 50% egg production was significantly better in ad lib fed group (146.5d and 165.75d) followed by scavenging group (T4) and much inferior with feed restricted groups (T2 > T3). The mean per cent hen day egg production over 10 laying periods was significantly better with ad lib. group (56.83%) and least with 20 and 40% ad lib (22.10 and 29.23%). Scavenging at farmer’s backyard resulted in 37.81%. The egg weight was significantly inferior with farmer’s backyard scavenging system but the yolk colour was significantly (P<0.05) superior when compared to all other treatment groups. Haugh unit score and Albumin index was significantly (P<0.05) high for scavenging fed birds compared to other groups. Shank length was not significantly (P<0.05) influenced by the treatment groups, while Shank pigmentation was significantly (P<0.05) better in scavenging group compared to other groups.OtherItem Open Access PERCEPTION OF THE FARMERS ON ZERO BUDGET NATURAL FARMING IN PRAKASAM DISTRICT OF ANDHRA PRADESH(Department of Extension, College of Agriculture Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University LAM, GUNTUR - 522 034, 2018-01-27) O. SARADA and G.V. SUNEEL KUMAR; The J. Res. PJTSAU 46(1) 34-38, 2018The study investigated farmers’ perception on Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) in Prakasam District of Andhra Pradesh with the specific objectives of assessing over all farmers’ perception, the determinants of their perception, sources of information for ZBNF, constraints in practicing ZBNF and suggestions for sustainable ZBNF adoption. Sixty farmers practicing ZBNF were purposively selected from ten ZBNF clusters of Prakasam District. The data collected were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages and correlation analysis. Majority (65.00%) of the farmers had medium perception on ZBNF followed by high (18.33%) and low (16.67%). Great majority (86.67%) of the farmers agreed that soil will be enriched with ZBNF, quality production is possible with ZBNF, ZBNF increases micro organisms and earth worms in soil (80.00%), facilitates natural enemies population (68.33%), is complex to adopt (63.33%), weed management is difficult (55.00%) and ZBNF is difficult to practice (53.33%). But they have disagreed that adoption of ZBNF on large scale is possible (55.00%) and purchasing and maintaining traditional cows is difficult (51.67%). The major sources of information were trainings attended by the farmers on ZBNF (91.67%), Community Resource Persons (90.00%), Department of Agriculture (88.33%), practicing farmers (73.33%) and through television (51.67%). Trainings undergone, ZBNF experience, innovativeness, education and extension contact were the variables having highly significant positive relation with farmers’ perception at 0.01% level. The major constraints expressed by the practicing ZBNF farmers were non availability of ZBNF inputs (81.67%), lack of information on preparation and use of asthras (76.67%), low yields in initial years (75.00%), weed management (68.33%), preparation of asthras is difficult (63.33%) and intensive labour requirement (53.33%). The ZBNF farmers have suggested that creating awareness among farmers (78.33%), application of asthras through fertigation (71.67%), making ZBNF inputs locally available (63.33%) providing market support for ZBNF produce (58.33%) and giving wide publicity on the benefits of ZBNF (51.67%) would facilitate its large scale adoption.OtherItem Open Access COMPATIBILITY OF CERTAIN INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SUCKING PESTS AND LATE LEAF SPOT IN GROUNDNUT(Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University Agricultural Research Station, Darsi, Prakasam District - 523 247, 2018-03-21) G. V. SUNEEL KUMAR; The J. Res. PJTSAU 46(1) 27- 33, 2018Six insecticides and two fungicides at recommended concentrations were evaluated as tank mix in various insecticide and fungicide combinations for their efficacy against sucking insects pests viz., thrips, leafhopper and late leaf spot in groundnut during Kharif 2014. Slight phytotoxic (chlorosis) symptoms were seen in combination treatments of imidacloprid + mancozeb + carbendazim and monocrotophos + mancozeb + carbendazim with phytotoxicity score of 1 (0 to 10%) only at recommended dose. The chemical compatibility of insecticide and fungicide combinations measured through the bio-efficacy studies under field conditions revealed that the insecticides, spinosad and thiomethaxam were effective against thrips; thiomethaxam and acetamiprid were effective against leafhopper and their combination with fungicides in no way undermined the efficacy when mixed indicating their compatibility. Similarly the fungicides, mancozeb and carbendazim registered the same efficacy with respect to late leaf spot disease (31-40% disease severity) alone and in combination with other insecticides. The dry pod yields are also highest in insecticide and fungicide combinations (578.7 to 1064.8 kg ha-1) compared to insecticides (555.6 to 995.4 kg ha-1) or fungicides alone (486.1 to 532.4 kg ha-1) and untreated control (416.7 kg ha-1). Thus all the insecticides and fungicides used in the present investigation are compatible with each other and can be combined as tank mix for control of groundnut pests.
