    EFFECT OF NPK, ZnS04 AND MgS04 ON GROWTH, SEED YIELD AND QUALITY OF GARDENPEA (Pisum sativum (L.)] Cv. BONNEVILLE
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 2002) PATIL, AMAREGOUDA C; MERWADE, M N
    Two field experiments were conducted during rabi season of, 2001-02 at Main Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad to study the "Effect of NPK, ZnS04 and MgS04 on growth, seed yield and quality of gardenpea [Pisum sativum (L.)] Cv. Bonneville". Application of different levels of NPK fertilizers recorded significant differences for crop growth, seed yield and its attributes besides quality parameters. In general, the significant increasing trend was inconsistent under different fertilizer levels for all the parameters studied. The application of 37.5:78:50 NPK kg ha-1 recorded significantly highest seed yield (1984 kg ha-1) followed by 37.5:72:50 NPK kg ha1 (1902 kg ha1) and 37.5 :78:65 NPK kg ha-1 (1866 kg ha1). Compared to control (1571 kg ha-1). MgSCU recorded significantly higher crop growth, seed yield and its attributes and quality parameters as compared to ZnS04, irrespective of the methods of application. Among the methods of application, the M7 (SA+ST+FS) method recorded significantly highest crop growth, seed yield and quality parameters, compared to rest of the methods of application irrespective of the nutrients used. The significantly higher seed yield with better quality traits was noticed in M7 (1878 kg ha-1) followed by Ms (SA+FS) (1798 kg ha-1) and M4 (SA+ST) (1778 kg ha-') over the control. The interaction effect between nutrients and methods of application (NxM) was found to be nonsignificant for all the parameters studied. In general, higher seed yield and quality was obtained in both the nutrients when applied as soil application, seed treatment and foliar spray over rest of the treatment combinations.

    INFLUENCE OF GROWTH RETARDANTS ON SEED YIELD AND QUALITY AND SEED TREATMENTS ON STORABILITY OF COWPEA Cv. C-152
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, 2002) MARADDI, BHIMARADDI K; KURDIKERI, M. B
    The field investigation was carried out at the Main Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during Kharif season of 2001 to findout the influence of growth retardants on seed yield and quality and also the influence of seed treatments on storability' of cowpea Cv. C-152 during 2001-02 in the laboratory of Department of Seed Science and Technology, Agricultural College, Dharwad. The results of study indicated that, among the various growth retardants, spraying of TIBA 50 ppm at flowering decreased the plant height with significant increase in the yield contributing characters like number of pods per plant (15.47), pod weight per plant (22.37 g), number of seed per pod (13.80), seed weight per plant (21.05 g) and seed yield (1200 kg ha-^) as compared to control followed by TIBA 25 ppm, MH 200 ppm and MH 100 ppm. Growth retardant spray had no significant effect on seed quality parameters viz., germination percentage, moisture content, protein content and electrical conductivity. Whereas, root length (21.54 cm), shoot length (16.88 cm), vigour index (3544), field emergence (86.50 %) were significantly highest in TIBA 50 ppm compared to control followed by TIBA 25 ppm, MH 200 ppm, MH 100 ppm. Seed treatment with insecticides, fungicides, halogens and plant products showed significant influence on storage potential of cowpea seeds. The viability of cowpea seeds decreased with increase in storage period in all treatments. Among the seed treatments seeds treated with potassium iodide, chlorax, castor oil and neem oil recorded higher germination percentage, vigour index and field emergence whereas, moisture content, electrical conductivity and insect infestation were lower as compared to control.
