    ABSTRACT Name : Amandeep Id.no.: 2812 Degree : M.Sc. (Ag) Entomology Major: Entomology Advisor : Dr. Gaje Singh Minor: Plant Pathology Thesis Title: “Effects of indigenous plant extracts on incidence of Stem Borer , Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) and Leaf Folder, Cnaphalocrosis medinalis (Guenee) in Basmati rice” The present investigation was carried out in randomized block design with three replications during Kharif, 2019 at Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel University of Agri. & Tech., Meerut. The first incidence of rice stem borer was recorded on fourth week of June and reached its peak (9.11 per cent dead hearts) during fourth week of August when average temperature and relative humidity were 320C and 65.6 per cent, respectively. The first incidence of rice leaf folder was recorded on first week of July and reached a maximum level at the third week of September when mean temperature and relative humidity were 28.40C and 87 per cent, respectively. There was positive correlation of dead hearts with evening RH, morning RH, minimum and maximum temperature. The correlation relationship of relative humidity, minimum temperature and maximum temperature is negative with per cent white ears. The correlation of rice leaf folder was positive with minimum temperature, RH and rainfall and negative with maximum temperature. Efficacy of different plant extracts viz., Cow urine + Azadirachta indica ,Cow urine + Melia azedarach ,Cow urine + Lantana camara ,Cow urine +Jatropha gossypiflora ,Cow urine + Eucalyptus oblique ,Cow urine + Cannabis sativa and Neemoz (Azadirachtin 300 ppm) against rice stem borer and leaf folder revealed that Neemoz @ 2500 ml/ha was most effective treatment in reducing the infestation of both the insects followed by Cow urine + Melia azedarach @ 7500ml/ha. The Cow urine + Cannabis sativa @ 7500 ml/ha was recorded least effective. Cow urine + Cannabis sativa @ 7500 ml/ha was found most safe to spider population followed by Cow urine + Lantana camara @ 7500 ml/ha while Neemoz @ 2500 ml/ha was least safe to spider population. The maximum yield (37.30 q/ha) was obtained in Neemoz treated plots. The minimum yield (31.20 q/ha) was obtained in Cow urine + Lantana camara @ 7500 ml/ha treated plots. The highest cost benefit ratio (1:21.44) was obtained from Cow urine + Melia azadirah @ 7500 ml /ha treated plots. . The lowest cost benefit ratio (1:7.19) was obtained from Neemoz treated plots.

Fruit Science (Horticulture) Department: Fruit Science Advisor: Dr Arvind Kumar, Associate Professor Thesis Title: "Study to identify suitable time and technique of propagation in peach (Prunus persica L) under Western Uttar-Pradesh conditions." An Investigation entitled "Study to identify suitable time and technique of propagation in peach (Prunus persica L.) under Western Uttar-Pradesh conditions." was concluded at the Horticultural Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (U.P.) during the year 2022 in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replication to assess the different modes of propagation in Peach. Total 7 treatments viz Ti. 30h December Ta- 15th January Ts- 30th January Ta- 15th February Ts Ist March T 15th March T7- 30th March Wedge grafting and T budding were examined during the investigation. Diferent parameters i.e, Shoot diameter (mm), Shoot length (cm), Number of leaves, Leaf area(m,Height (cm), Survival (%), Mortality (6) were observed during the proceeding of cropping period. On the basis of comprebensive study of present investigation, it was concluded that amongst Wedge grafting and T-budding during the duration of January to March Wedge grafting was found superior over T-budding for maximum shoot diameter, shoot length, number of leaves, leaf area, height, survival percentage, mortality percentage. Thus, that there was the significant impact of suitable technique and time of propagation of peach. The best result was found with wedge grafting under 30 January and their combination may be suggested for propagation of peach under Subtropical Conditions. Accordingly, Sharbati seedling performed better in wedge grafting it revealed maximum shoot diameter, shoot length, number of leaves, survival percentage. Hence, Wedge grafting recommended as successful commercial propagation of Peach under Western Uttar Pradesh conditions. Ata (Arvind Kumar) (Akanksha Marwah) Advisor Author

    ABSTRACT Name: Rahul Kumar ID. No. PG/H- 5351/20 Semester & Year of admission: 2020-21 Degree: M.Sc. (Horti.) Vegetable Science Major: Vegetable Science Department: College of horticulture Minor: Genetics and Plant Breeding Advisor: Dr. Satya Prakash Thesis tittle: “Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)”. Twenty one genotypes of potato were evaluated at Horticulture Research Centre of SVP University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut during Rabi season 2021-22.The experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L. 2n=4x=48) is known as the "King of vegetables" and belongs to the solanaceae family. The origin of Potato is central Andean region of South America. The analysis of variance revealed significant among all the genotypes for all the 11 characters under study. The high percentage (>20%) of genotypic coefficient of variation and phenotypic coefficient of variation for length of internodes, plant height, number of stem plant-1, tuber yield plant-1, number of nodes at 30 DAP, number of tubers plant-1 while moderate (10-20%) for number of leaves at 60 DAP, number of nodes at 60 DAP, tuber size, number of leaves at 30 DAP and lowest (<10) in germination % at 20 DAP. Further the present finding exhibited that the estimate of PCV was magnitude greater than the GCV for all characters indicating the important role of environment the expression of characters. So that character would be more effective to improve the crop. The range of heritability varies from 40.23% for germination % at 20 DAP to 98.85% for tuber yield plant-1. The highest heritability estimates for tuber yield plant-1, number of leaves at 60 DAP, number of nodes at 60 DAP, plant height, number of nodes at 30 DAP, tuber size, length of internodes, number of tubers plant-1, number of stem plant-1, number of leaves at 30 DAP. The range of genetic advance was varies from 6.19% for germination % at 20 DAP to 59.39% for length of internodes. The estimates of genetic advance as percent of mean was exhibited high for length of internodes, plant height, tuber yield plant-1, number of stem plant-1, number of nodes at 30 DAP, number of tubers plant-1, number of leaves at 60 DAP, number of nodes at 60 DAP, tuber size. In general, genotypic correlation coefficients were found to be greater than phenotypic correlation coefficients. Tuber yield plant-1 showed positive and highly significant correlation with tuber size, number of leaves at 60 DAP, number of tubers plant-1, germination % at 20 DAP while, positive and less-significant correlation with number of leaves at 30 DAP. Path analysis result was obtained positive and direct effect on tuber yield plant-1 was exerted by the length of internodes, tuber size, number of tubers plant-1, number of nodes at 30 DAP, number of leaves at 60 DAP, germination % at 20 DAP and negative direct effect on tuber yield per plant was recorded by the plant height, number of nodes at 60 DAP, number of stem plant-1 and number of leaves at 30 DAP. Twenty one genotypes of potato were grouped into five clusters. The cluster I comprised highest eight genotypes, cluster V comprised five genotypes, Cluster III comprised four genotypes and minimum genotypes comprised in Cluster II and Cluster IV respectively. The range of intra-cluster distance was from 1.545 to 2.248. The maximum intra-cluster distance was recorded in cluster I, cluster V, cluster II, cluster IV and minimum intra-cluster distance was found in cluster III. The maximum inter-cluster distance was observed in cluster IV and II and the minimum inter-cluster distance was found in cluster III and I. (Satya Prakash) (Rahul Kumar) (Advisor) (Author)
