    The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) genotypes under Bhubaneswar condition” was conducted during the year 2019-2020 at Cashew Research Station (AICRP on cashew), Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar. Fifteen Cashew genotypes (V1- BH-27, V2- BH-105, V3-BH2-6, V4-BH-30, V5-BH-19, V6-RP-1, V7-RP-2, V8-VTH 711/4, V9-Kankadi, V10-M44/3, V11- BBSR-1, V12-BPP-8, V13-NRCC Sel-2, V14-Dhana, V15-H-320) were planted during the year 2014 following statistical design RBD (Randomized Block Design) and the experiment was replicated twice. All standard package of practices were followed to raise the crop. In the present investigation, vegetative parameters, yield attributes and mean annual nut yield plant-1 revealed a spectacular wide array of variations among the tested genotypes. Genotype, BH-19 recorded maximum plant height (5.25m), canopy spread (N-S) (6.25m) and ground coverage by canopy (26.54 m2 ) among the tested genotypes. Trunk girth (56.3 cm) and apple weight (101.50g) were recorded maximum in genotype, Kankadi. Maximum nut weight was recorded in genotype, VTH-711/4(13.22g). Sex ratio was recorded maximum in genotype, M-44/3 (0.38) while nuts panicle-1 was recorded maximum in genotype, RP-1(15.65). Shelling % varied from minimum 23.5% in genotype Kankadi to maximum 32.2 % in genotype Bhubaneswar-1. Significantly maximum mean annual nut yield (8.25 kg plant-1 ) as well as cum nut yield ( 18.45kg plant-1 ) were recorded in genotype, BH2-6 at 4th harvest. Studies on heterosis revealed that genotype, BH-19 exhibited best standard heterosis nut weight. For shelling % and nut yield genotype, BH2-6 was identified as superior over standard check. The phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation ranged from minimum 13.28% and 12.74% in trunk girth to maximum in 63.81% and 63.45% in nuts panicle-1 respectively. Heritability estimates were recorded high for parameters viz. nuts panicle-1 (98.85%), apple weight (98.76%), nut yield (97.53%) and nut weight (96.55%). The genetic advance ranged from minimum 0.14 in sex ratio to maximum 42.3 in apple weight. The parameters which exhibited high genetic advance were trunk girth (11.65), ground coverage by canopy (10.91) and nuts panicle-1 (8.34). The genetic advance (as % of mean) was varied from as low as 13.60 in shelling % to as high as 129.95 in nuts panicle-1 . Among the fifteen tested cashew genotype, BH2-6 recorded the maximum mean annual nut yield (8.25kg plant -1 ), cum. nut yield (18.45kg plant-1 ) and standard heterosis (32%) at 4th harvest (6 years old plant). Hence, the genotype may be evaluated further (upto six harvest ) before recommendation for commercial cultivation in the state. Genotypes, RP-1, Kankadi, VTH-711/4 and BH2-6 recorded high heritability alongwith high genetic advance and genetic advance ( as % of mean) for the yield attributing parameters viz. nuts panicle-1 (98.85%, 8.34, 129.95%), apple weight (98.76%,42.3, 85.15%), nut yield (97.53%,3.79, 73.08%) and nut weight (96.55%,4.48,57.96%) respectively. So, there is scope for improvement by using these genotypes as parent in future cashew breeding programme.

    (Department of Fruit Science and Horticulture Technology, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, 2020) Sailaja, Allada Veena; Swain, Subash Chandra; Sahoo, Sarat Chandra; Acharya, G. C.; Panda, R. K.
    Sapota (Manilkara achras Mill.) is one of the major tropical fruit crops of the country belong to the family Sapotaceae. Its cultivation has spread all over the tropical belt and is being grown as a major commercial fruit crop in India, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. India is considered to be the largest producer of Sapota in the world and it is being cultivated in an area of about 101 lakh hectares with a production of 1200 lakh metric tonnes. Sapota cultivation is being taken up in the coastal and also in the interior districts of Odisha. The main difficulties in rapid expansion of sapota cultivation are lack of genuine planting material of improved varieties required in large quantity and lack of information on propagation and rootstock. Success, survivability and growth of grafts depend upon variety, grafting method and time of grafting. Hence the present research work was performed to study the influence of grafting time on survivability and growth of graft and the varietal effect on graft success. The experiment entitled on “Effect of grafting time on survivability and growth of sapota (Manilkara achras Mill.) varieties” was carried out at Central Horticultural Experiment Station (CHES), ICAR-IIHR, Aiginia, Bhubaneswar, during July, 2019 to June, 2020. The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Completely Randomized Design with 18 treatment combinations and 3 replications. The treatment combinations consist of 3 varieties of sapota (DSH1, DSH2 and Murabba) grafted in 6 different months (July, August, September, October, November and December). In this experiment, grafting operation was done using the seedlings of Khirni (Manilkara hexandra) as rootstock for all the sapota varieties. The results of the present investigation envisaged that growth and survivability of sapota grafts were significantly influenced by the different varieties and months of grafting. The grafts developed after 120 DAG through grafting the seedlings of Khirni rootstocks with scion of DSH1 variety during July month resulted minimum number of days taken for first sprouting (10.26), maximum growth in respect of number of sprouts per graft (8.42), graft height above graft union (27.65 cm), girth of the graft (4.61 cm), number of leaves per graft (23.42) and percentage of graft success (80.32%). The minimum values in respect of the above parameters were obtained in the grafts developed through Murabba variety during December month.

    A study was conducted at the experimental site of All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Agroforestry, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, during July 2019 to June 2020 to evaluate fruit based intercropping systems with legume intercrops in rainfed uplands. The experiment was laid out in a Randomised Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The experiment was consisted of 16 treatment combinations including 12 fruit based intercropping systems are comprised of three fruit species such as mango (Mangifera indica L.), jackfruit (Artocarpous heterophyllus L.) & cashewnut (Anacardium occidentale L.) and four legume crops i.e. arhar, horsegram, blackgram & cowpea and four sole crops. The maximum tree height was recorded jackfruit + cowpea (7.69 m) followed by jackfruit + blackgram (6.92 m) at 54 months. Cashewnut and mango also showed good height growth rate with cowpea. The maximum collar girth was recorded in cashewnut + cowpea (66.70 cm) followed by jackfruit + cowpea (64.05 cm). The maximum crown spread observed cashewnut + balckgram (6.99 m) followed by jackfruit + cowpea (5.71 m). The maximum pH value was recorded in mango +blackgram (5.63) followed by ackfruit + blackgram. The value of E.C. was highest under mango + arhar (0.24 dS m-1) followed by jackfruit + arhar. The value of organic carbon content was highest in mango + blackgram (5.9 g kg-1) followed by jackfruit + black gram (5.7 g kg-1). The maximum available nitrogen content of 251.5 kg ha-1 was found under mango + blackgram followed by mango + cowpea (244.7 kg ha-1). However, the maximum available phosphorous content of 63.8 kg ha-1 was found under mango + horsegram system followed by jackfruit + horsegram system (57.1 kg ha-1) and the maximum available potassium content of 165.2 kg ha-1 was found under mango + cowpea system followed by jackfruit + cowpea system (162.7 kg ha-1). It was evident that among the fruit trees higher soil moisture was recorded with mango followed by jackfruit and cashewnut irrespective of the associated intercrops throughout the cropping season. The maximum gross return (Rs 65580 ha-1), net return (Rs 40580 ha-1) and B: C ratio (2.62) was obtained from cashewnut + arhar system followed by mango + arhar system (59040 kg ha-1, 34040 kg ha-1and 2.36) respectively

    Studies on flowering behaviour, reproductive biology and fruit set of sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.) in eastern coastal region
    (Department of Fruit Science and Horticulture Technology, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, 2020) Padhy, Abhishek; Kishor, Kundan; Sahoo, Sarat Chandra; Panda, R.K.; Samant, Deepa
    The present investigations entitled “Studies on flowering behaviour, reproductive biology and fruit set of sugar apple (Annona squamosa L.) in eastern coastal region” was conducted at CHES (IIHR-ICAR), Bhubaneswar in 2019. Studies were conducted during April, May, June and July in two varieties namely Arka Neelachal Vikram and Red Sitaphal. Flowering behaviour was studied on the basis of variation in flowering intensity during April to July and maximum flower production was observed in May followed by April in both the varieties. Pollen viability was assessed by acetocarmine, lugol’s solution, safranin and aniline blue stain and among them lugol’s solution was found to be better due to high pollen staining capacity. The efficacy of pollen staining dyes was correlated with pollen germinability. Higher pollen viability % implied higher germination % and subsequent higher fruit set per cent in July. Maximum pollen viability was observed in July with 91.01% and 85.32% in Red Sitaphal and Arka Neelachal Vikram, respectively. Pollen germination medium was also optimized with sucrose (10%), boron (400ppm) and calcium (200 ppm). Maximum pollen germination was recorded in July with 64.10% in Red Sitaphal and 54.52% in Arka Neelachal Vikram, whereas it was minimum in April. Pollen production capacity (pollen /flower) was highest in the month of July in Arka Neelachal Vikram (41093.54) and Red Sitaphal (43628.33). Mean stigma receptivity was also highest in the month of July which was 44.50% in Arka Neelachal Vikram and 47.50% in Red Sitaphal. All of the above parameters tested were found to be positively correlated with fruit set. Maximum mean fruit set was obtained in Red Sitaphal in July (8.17%) followed by Arka Neelachal Vikram in July (7.89%). Relative humidity and average rainfall were found to be positively correlated with pollen production, pollen viability, pollen germination, stigma receptivity and fruit set, whereas temperature was negatively correlated. The present investigation gave an indication that weather parameters play vital role in pollen production, pollen viability, germinability, stigma receptivity and in fruit set of sugar apple (A.squamosa) under eastern coastal Odisha condition. Mild temperature with high humidity was conducive for better fruit set in Annona squamosa.

    (Department of Fruit Science and Horticulture Technology, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, 2020) Mohapatra, Pratichee; Acharya, Gobinda Ch.; Sahoo, Sarat Chandra; Panda, R. K.; Kar, Dibya Sundar
    The present investigation “Study on scope of value addition in wood apple (Limonia acidissima L.)” was undertaken to develop and asses the quality of fruit bars utilizing wood apple, pomegranate and dragon fruit in varying proportions. In this study, physico-chemical properties including sensory attributes of the developed fruit bars were studied during six months of storage at refrigerated condition. Eleven treatments are replicated thrice and data analysis was done following Completely Randomized Design. The moisture content of the blended fruit bars ranged between 18.00 per cent and 20.50 per cent. At six months of storage, the value of the fruit bars was in the range of 15.08 to 16.38 per cent. The total sugar content was highest (22.84 %) in the fruit bars blended with 60 % wood apple and 40 % pomegranate. The total sugar content showed an increasing trend and after six months of storage a total sugar content of 24.51 % was estimated in the fruit bars of same combination(T5). Physico-chemical parameters like total soluble solids (0 Brix), reducing sugars content (%) and pH of the fruit bars showed an increasing trend throughout the storage period. On the other hand, parameters like ascorbic acid, titrable acidity, protein content, total phenol content of the fruit bars showed a decreasing trend during the period of study. The protein content of different fruit bars at initial stage varied from 4.92g/100g to 6.72 g/100g, the highest was recorded in the fruit bars prepared with a blend of 60:40 of wood apple and pomegranate. Similarly, the total phenol content in the fruit bars was in a range of 180.8 to 190.97 mg GAE/100g. The highest content of phenol was estimated in the fruit bars with a blending proportion of 50:30:20 of wood apple, pomegranate and dragon fruit. The sensory attributes like colour, texture, chewiness, taste and flavor showed decreasing values as the storage period advanced, which ultimately decided the consumer acceptability. The overall acceptability of fruit bars was found highest in T5 i.e. in fruit bars with 60%wood apple+ 40%pomegranate whereas T11 i.e. fruit bars of combinations 50%Wood apple+ 30%Pomegranate+ 20% Dragon fruit was found to be nutritionally superior, both of which were at par with fruit bars of ratio 50% wood apple+ 40%pomegranate+ 10%dragon fruit and 70% wood apple+ 30% pomegranate. The wood apple blended fruit bars were qualitatively and organoleptically accepted and fit for consumption up to 6month of storage at refrigerated condition.

    (Department of Vegetable Science, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, 2021) Panda, Monalisa; Mohanty, Anita; Sahu, Gouri Shankar; Tripathy, Pradyumna; Lenka, Devraj
    A field experiment was conducted at All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Vegetable Crops, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar with Sixteen genotypes of ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula (L.) Roxb.) in Randomized Block Design with three replications during spring & summer season 2020. The variability, correlation of fruit yield with its component characters and among the components and the magnitude of influence of the characters on fruit yield was worked out through path analysis. . The analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the mean sum of squares due to genotypes for different quantitative characters studied except number of primary branches, fruit girth, fruit stalk length indicating the presence of variability among the genotypes. The high GCV and PCV were observed for number of fruit per plant (22.21 and 25.24) followed by fruit yield per plant (21.29 and 24.41),indicating high variability available in the germplasm for these characters for further improvement. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for characters viz., fruit length, fruit weight, node to first female flower, seed per fruit, vine length, fruit weight indicating that these characters were least influenced by the environmental effects and governed by additive genes. The result on phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficient revealed that fruit yield per plot, number of fruit per plant, fruit stalk length was significantly and positively correlated with fruit yield per plant. However, Low positive correlation was observed with fruit girth, seed per fruit, sex ratio at phenotypic level and plant height, number of nodes, node to first female flower ,fruit weight both phenotypic and genotypic level. Whereas, Traits like internodal length, day to first fruit harvest, days to 50% flowering, days to first fruit set showed significantly and negatively correlated with fruit yield per plant at both phenotypic and genotypic level. Further, path coefficient analysis partitioned the correlation into direct and indirect effects. Path analysis revealed that maximum positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant was exhibited through number of fruit per plant, seed per fruit, fruit weight, internodal length, days to first fruit set, number of primary branch, number of nodes these characters play a major role in recombination breeding and suggested that direct selection based on these traits will be rewarded for crop improvement of ridge gourd. The genotypes viz., 2019/RIG HYB-7, 2019/RIG HYB-5 and 2019/RIG HYB-2 were found promising for fruit yield per plant than other genotypes. There is a need to evaluate these high yielding genotypes in large plots and over multi locations in Odisha for their commercial utilization.
