    EFFECT OF ZINC NANO-FERTILIZER ON GROWTH, YIELD AND Zn CONTENT IN MAIZE (Zea mays L.)
    (DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY B.A. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND, 2019) Patel Rajalben P.; Dr. V. P. Ramani
    The study entitled, “Effect of zinc nano fertilizer on growth, yield and Zn content in maize Zea mays L.)” was u ndertaken by conducting a laboratory experiment of synthesis and characterization of zinc nano fertilizer and a field experiment at Main Forage Research S tation, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during r abi season of the year 2018 19. In lab oratory experiment, zinc nano fertilizer (ZnO NPs) was synthesized, using direct precipitation method and cha racterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Th e i nstrumental analysis results indicated that synthesized ZnO NPs were of 35 40 nm particle size , monodispersed, pure, stable and showed characteristic absorption of Zn O bond at wavenumber of 509.46 cm 1 and 604.70 cm 1

    STUDIES ON REARING OF RICE MOTH, Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) - A FACTITIOUS HOST FOR MASS PRODUCTION OF IMPORTANT BIOCONTROL AGENTS
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2013) SANEERA E. K.; Dr. D. M. Korat
    Investigations on some basic studies on rearing of rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) as factitious host for mass production of important biocontrol agents were carried out at the Biocontrol Research Laboratory, Anand Agricultural University, Anand (Gujarat) during 2011 to 2013. Studies on suitability of whole and broken grains and fortified diets for the rearing of C. cephalonica revealed that broken or coarsely milled grains of sorghum than whole grains found to be most suitable for rearing of C. cephalonica in terms of number of adults obtained, fecundity, duration of immature stages and weight of eggs. Similarly, considering the same biological traits, coarse sorghum grains fortified with yeast @ 5 % proved the best diet supplement for C. cephalonica followed by groundnut kernels (10 %). Fortification of rearing media with Protinex @ 5 % was found
