    Adaptation of kathiawar embroidery motifs to fabric painting
    (CCSHAU, 2018) Pooja; Vivek Singh
    The present study was conducted in Hisar district of Haryana state to explore the possibility of adaptation of kathiawar embroidery motifs to fabric painting. Seventy kathiawar embroidery motifs were collected personally from secondary sources like books, journals, and internet. The collected motifs were categorized as geometrical, floral, and animal & bird motifs and were screened into thirty motifs by advisory committee keeping in mind their suitability for fabric painting on jacket. These three categories included ten motifs each. Top ranked four motifs in each category were selected by experts for further research work. Maximum number of collected motifs were animal & bird motifs followed by floral motifs. A total of sixty designs were created using twelve selected motifs with the help of CorelDRAW software. Top ranked five designs were selected by experts by using a preferential choice index for design placements and colour ways. A total of five painted jackets were developed as per the selected designs, their placements and colour ways. Developed jackets were assessed by thirty consumers for their acceptability level on various parameters. Design number 3, 13 and 21 were highly acceptable designs while design number 45 and 46 were acceptable designs. Created designs, design placements, colour ways and fabric painting technique were highly acceptable parameters of all the designs by consumers. In terms of overall appearance, three jackets (design number 3, 13 and 21) were assessed as highly appealing and two jackets (design number 45 and 46) were assessed as appealing. Cost of all the developed jackets was considered „appropriate. Consumers had high opinion about all the designs of developed jackets as they were strongly agreed with all the opinion statements regarding suitability of created designs for product and technique, size and shape of created designs, design placements, colour schemes and overall appearance of the developed jacket with average scores ranging between 2.36 to 2.59. Expert had high opinion regarding adaptation of kathiawar embroidery for fabric painting as they strongly opined that fabric painting is easy in execution and has effectively replicated the effect of kathiawar embroidery to maintain its beauty. It is time saving and cost effective surface embellishment technique as per market trend with WMS ranging between 2.34-2.76. Thus, transformation of innovative designs of kathiawar embroidery into fabric painting has enhanced the range of designing and productivity.

    Studies on the effect of plant growth regulators and nutrients in Kinnow mandarin
    (CCSHAU, 2017) Pooja; Ashwani Kumar
    The experiment comprising of thirteen fertilizer treatments in different combinations of growth regulators and nutrients was conducted on seven years old earmarked plants at Chaudhary Farm House, Malapur and in Post-harvest Technology Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the year 2015-16 to study the effect of on fruit drop, yield and quality of Kinnow mandarin. The data were recorded on June drop, pre-harvest drop, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield, percent fruit retention, fruit length, fruit diameter, shape index, peel thickness, peel thickness index, juice content, rag content, peel content, TSS, acidity, ascorbic acid, total sugars, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugar and leaf N, P, K and Zn content. The recorded data were analysed using Randomized Block Design. The results of the experiment indicated that the foliar application of 2, 4-D, GA3, K2SO4 and ZnSO4 had significantly positive influence on most of the recorded parameters. The final fruit retention, number of fruits per plant, fruit yield, ascorbic acid content, shape index and non-reducing sugars were found maximum while June and pre-harvest drop was found minimum with foliar application of 2,4-D 20 ppm. The juice content and TSS were found maximum while peel thickness, acidity, peel content were found minimum with foliar application of 2,4-D 10 ppm. The total sugars, fruit size and fruit weight were observed maximum with K2SO4 2% while rag content was found maximum with GA3 20 ppm. The reducing sugar was found highest with foliar application of K2SO4 1.5%. The content of potassium and zinc content was found maximum with the foliar application of K2SO4 2% and ZnSO4 0.75% where as nitrogen and phosphorous content were found unaffected by the application of 2,4-D, GA3, K2SO4 and ZnSO4.

    Physiological studies in wheat genotypes (Triticum aestivum L.) under terminal high temperature conditions
    (CCSHAU, 2017) Pooja; Munjal, Renu
    The present investigation was conducted to evaluate various physiological traits & identify promising wheat genotypes under terminal high temperature condition. The twenty genotypes i.e. ten tolerant (WH 730, WH 1124, WH 1021, HD 3059, DBW 90, PBW 373, Raj 3765, HD 2851, HD 2285, PBW 550) & ten heat susceptible (HD 2967, DPW 621, WH 1105, DBW 88, HD 3086, HD 2733, WH 711, WH 1080, WH 1142 & K 0307) were grown during rabi season of 2016 - 17 at Field Crop Research Area, of Wheat & Barley Section, Department of Genetics & Plant Breeding, CCS HAU, Hisar, The experiment was laid out in factorial RBD consisting of 4 rows of 3m length with a 20×5 cm spacing within rows & between plants, respectively. Terminal high temperature significantly influenced physiological, biochemical, yield & yield attributes in both heat susceptible & heat tolerant genotypes but the reduction was more pronounced in the susceptible genotypes in comparison to the tolerant ones. WH 1021 was adjudged to be most tolerant genotype due to minimum reduction in photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, chlorophyll content & minimum increase in canopy temperature, cell membrane stability. WH 1021 also showed maximum no. of productive tiller/ m row length, biomass, grain yield, thousand grain weight & maximum harvest index. K 0307 was adjudged to be most susceptible due to maximum reduction in all physiological & biochemical trait except chlorophyll fluorescence & canopy temperature. K 0307 showed poor performance in yield & yield attributes. The tolerant genotype WH 1021 was found to be the most suitable one under terminal high temperature conditions on the basis of the overall picture of physiological, morpho-physiological & yield traits studied.
