    Studies on the effect of growing media on seed germination and seedling growth of ber (Ziziphus mauritiana var. rotundifolia)
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2020-03) Najeebullah; Surender Singh
    A field experiment entitled “Studies on the effect of growing media on seed germination and seedling growth of ber (Ziziphus mauritiana var. rotundifolia)” was conducted during 2018-19 in the nursery at Experimental Orchard of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The media for the study were garden soil and sand with the different proportion of vermicompost, FYM and cocopeat constituting 16 treatments. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design. The results revealed that growing Media T7 : Garden soil + FYM + VC + CP (3:1:1:1) reduced the number of days for germination (19.33 days) and increased germination percentage (74.60%). and also improved the seedling height, stem girth, intermodal length, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh and dry weight of shoot and root and survival per cent. Media T7 having Garden soil + FYM + VC + CP (3:1:1:1) found better in improving the available N, P, K (165.7, 33.0 and 267.0 kg/ha). The same media also resulted into highest N content in leaves (1.47 %) over all other growing media, in ber seedlings

    Varietal evaluation of pomegranate for morpho-physiological traits under semi-arid condition of Haryana
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2020-07) Sangwan, Deepak; Sharma, Jeet Ram
    A field experiment was conducted at the experimental orchard of the department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana. Ten germplasm having a wide range of variability in growth, flowering, fruit, and qualitative traits were studied in Random Block Design. Results showed that among the germplasm, Bhagwa showed maximum plant height and plant spread. Mridula showed maximum leaf blade size, shoot thorniness and highest juice content. Ganesh had highest TSS, lowest titrable acidity, minumim fruit cracking and showed shortest fruit maturity period. Kandhari had red colour of fruit having largest crown length, petiole length, highest aril and fruit weight and also have biggest fruit size. Jodhpur Red showed maximum petal size, thickest rind, largest aril and maximum number of fruits and yield, while, thinnest rind was found in Basein Seedless. Highest edible index and maximum calyx length was found in Jalore Seedless. In case of seed hardness the cultivars Ganesh, Jalore Seedless, Bhagwa and Mridula, Wonderful, S1 and S2 had soft seeds, Kandhari and Basin Seedless contained hard seeds and Jodhpur Red had very hard seeds. The growth habit was spreading type and foliage density was medium in most of the germplasm. Leaf blade shape varied from broad elliptical and lanceolate type, while, leaf apex shape varied from obtuse, rounded and acute in selected germplasm. Aril colour varied from light pink, pink and red, while, fruit colour varied from yellowish brown, light saffron, red, yellowish red, reddish brown, brownish green and greenish brown in selected germplasm. The calyx and corolla colour was found red, corolla type was single, fruit shape was round and fruits had crown in most of the cultivars.
