    EFFECT OF CERTAIN ANTITRANSPIRANTS ON GROWTH DEVELOPMENT AND YIELDING ABILITY OF WHEAT VAR. ‘KALYANSONA’ [Triticum aestivum (Linn. Emend. Thell.)] UNDER INDUCED WATER STRESS CONDITION
    (AAU, Anand, 1980) PANELIYA, J. R.; MEHTA, K. G.
    Wheat [Triticum aestivum (Linn. Emend. Thell.)] is one of the most important grain crops. Water requirement increases with the advancement in age of the crop. The stage of earing to grain formation is considered as the most critical period due to high rate of evapotranspiration. Delay or failure of irrigation at this stage causes border line water deficit resulting in to yield losses. Use of antitranspirants under such condition works, as one of the best resources to mitigate or even to avoid the adverse effect of water stress. With a view to enlighten such accepts, the studies on the effect of the foliar application of various antitranspirants at different concentrations.

    “Cytomorphological Characterization and Floral Biology of Plantago ovata and Its Allied Species
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2005) Roshni R. Samarth; Dr. R.S.Fougat
    Plantago ovata Forsk., commonly known as Isabgol and commercially as blond psyllium, is an important medicinal plant. The genus Plantago comprises of about 200 species, of which 10 occur in India. However, P. ovata is the main source of Isabgol seed and husk for use in medicine. Amongst all the medicinal plants, Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk.) is a crop of high export value for our country. Production of Isabgol husk in 2001-02 was 25.58 M.T. which was worth rupees 240.28 crores. At present, Rajasthan and Gujarat together produce about 1lakh tonnes of psyllium seed out of which; about 30,000 tonnes psyllium is obtained which is mostly processed in Gujarat. About 90 percent of this husk (worth Rs. 250 crores) is exported (Singhal, 2003).
