    Oped Pages of The Hindu : A Case Study
    (Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, 2018) Harjinder Singh; Sarabjeet Singh
    The oped pages of newspaper give better opportunity for investigation of issues and presentation of new idea. The oped columns discuss major current news events and anticipate development, columnists report longer and more explorative essays and research ideas. In the present study, effort was made to focus on oped Pages of The Hindu. The objective was to map the contents and comment qualitatively on the content. Three months oped pages of The Hindu were selected. All the publication were compiled and mapped according to the type of columns, name of the contributor, size and picture, the theme covered. Simple percentage method was used to compare to the contributions It included columns, Lead Articles, The Wednesday Interview, Yes, No, It’s complicated, Single file, Conceptual, From The Hindu archive, FAQ, Shelf Help, Abstract, Notebook, Act One and Data Point. In The Hindu, under ‘Single file’ theme political had maximum number of articles, in ‘Lead Articles’ were published under the theme ‘Social Society Reform’. It was followed by ‘Journalism’, ‘Environmental’ and ‘Political’, respectively. Under ‘Ground Zero’ maximum articles fall under the theme ‘Social Society Reform’ followed by ‘Environmental’. Conceptual columns had maximum articles from ‘Economics’. The Hindu Archives covered theme maximum on ‘Finance and Business’, followed by Political. Pictures and Bar Graphs also had contribution in oped columns.

    COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF F1 HYBRIDS OF BRINJAL UNDER NET-HOUSE AND OPEN FIELD CONDITIONS
    (Punjab Agricultural University, 2013) Harjinder Singh; Dhatt, A. S.
    The present evaluation was conducted in the Department of Vegetable Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, with a set of 40 different hybrids of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) under net-house and open field conditions. The material was grown during the year 2012 in randomized complete block design. The analysis of variance showed significant difference among growing conditions and the hybrids. Out of 40 hybrids, BHO 1210 (2.92 kg), BHR 1209 (2.76 kg), BHR 1201 (3.03 kg), BHL 1242 (2.57 kg) and BHL 1244 (2.55 kg) gave significantly higher yield in net-house as well as the open field. Similarly, average fruit weight was also higher in BHR 1201, BHR 1220 and BHO 1209 in the both growing conditions. Maximum marketable yield was obtained from the hybrids BHO 1210 (3.47kg), BHR 1201 (3.08kg) and BHR 1220 (2.76kg) per plant in net-house. Out of these, the long fruited hybrids BHL 1242 (47 fruits/plant) and BHL 1241(37 fruits) gave high number of fruits under both the growing conditions. Observation recorded for biochemical analysis showed that maximum total sugars found in BHL 1244 (2.28%) under net-house and (2.11%) in open field. Maximum anthocyanin was found in hybrid BHO 1209 (1.90mg/100g) in net-house and (1.70mg/100g) in open field. There was no attack of fruit borer under the net house, whereas, 19.36 per cent infestation was recorded in the open field. Significant per se performance and economic heterosis in desirable direction was recorded in several hybrids under both conditions. Among round shape group BHR 1201 (37.99%); among long BHL 1241 (23.33%) and BHL 1242 (20.18%) and among oblong BHO 1209 (46.48%) and BHO 1210 (55.15%) were found significantly superior in heterosis over standard check (BH-2) for the yield per plant under the net-house. Thus, after further evaluation these hybrids can be recommended for net-house and open field cultivation.
