ThesisItem Open Access Response of biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.)(CCSHAU, 2019) Anuradha; Goyal, R.K.The present experiment entitled Response of biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) was conducted at Hi-tech greenhouse and Post-harvest Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (Haryana) during the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 to find out the best bacterial strain that enhanced the growth, yield and quality of strawberry and minimize the disease incidence in fruits. The data were recorded on plant height, number of leaves per plant, plant spread, crown diameter, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant, number of runners per plant, number of fruits per plant, fresh weight of fruit, length and breadth of fruits, yield per plant, moisture content in fruits, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content. The recorded data were subjected to statistical analysis using Completely Randomized Design (factorial). The strawberry plants were inoculated with different strains of Bacillus and Pseudomonas and their combination and all the rhizobaterial inoculated plants fertilized with 75% RDF. Different strains of Bacillus and Pseudomonas had significant effect on growth, yield and quality of strawberry. The results indicate that strawberry plants fertilized with 100% RDF significantly increased growth, yield and quality of strawberry, however plants inoculated with Bacillus strain HCA61 and Pseudomonas strain CP109 were potent in increasing all growth and yield parameters whereas, among quality parameters maximum TSS was observed in Bacillus strain RCA3 and maximum ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content was observed in Bacillus strain SYB101, and plants inoculated with Pseudomonas strain CP109 produces maximum TSS, minimum titrable acidity, maximum ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content of fruits. The minimum disease incidence in fruits, i.e., gray mould and fruit rot was observed in plants supplied with Bacillus strain HCA61. The strains CP109 + HCA61 and MHA75 + HCA61 showed best results for growth, yield and minimum disease incidence.ThesisItem Open Access Carbohydrate Metabolism in Podwall of Brassica Campestris L.

H1098-I x B 59-1678, H 1117 x HS6, H 1098-I x H1117 and B 59-1678 x HS6 was conducted for studying the inheritance of cotton leaf curl virus disease and estimating the gene effects for the yield and its component traits during kharif 2013 at the experimental area of the Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, India. The inheritance of cotton leaf curl virus disease indicated the duplicate dominant epistasis(15:1). No complimentary gene action was observed in cross with susceptible parents. Generation mean analysis revealed significant differences for all traits where the A, B, C and D individual scales were also significant for most of the characters indicating thereby the presence of non-allelic interactions. In some of the cases, the non-significance of chi-square value indicated the fitness for additive-dominance model. Additive component was significant for most of the characters and even as preponderant in magnitude over the dominance component. Either all or any of the three types of epistatic interactions (i, j and l) were significant for most of the cases and generally it is the “i" type of interaction which is more frequently prevailing for most of the traits studied over the crosses. However, the magnitude and direction of estimates changed for the cross. Additive x additive type of interaction was recorded for plant height, boll number, boll weight,GOT, seed index and seed cotton yield. Duplicate type of interaction was apparent for plant height, boll number, boll weight, GOT and lint index. Complementary type of interaction was recorded for plant height. Significant heterosis was observed for plant height, boll weight, seed index. The magnitude and direction of heterosis was varying from cross to cross. Among biochemical parameters, sugar content was higher in susceptible parents than resistant ones. Also, it decreased at 90 DAS when the disease incidence was higher and further increase at 120 DAS. Phenol, tannin and gossypol content, the secondary metabolites were higher in resistant parents as compared to susceptible parents. Concentration was more at 90 DAS which decrease at 120 DAS. Protein and cellulose concentration was gradually decrease and increase with days after sowing respectively. Correlation matrix indicated that cotton leaf curl virus disease grading was significant positively correlated with the sugar content and negatively correlated with phenol, tannin, gossypol, protein and cellulose, while oil content did not indicated any correlation with CLCuD grading irrespective of crosses and Days after sowing.ThesisItem Open Access Physiological and biochemical basis of seed viability loss in cotton (Gossypium sps.)(Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University;Hisar, 2000) Anuradha; Sheoran, I.S.
