Every region in India has its own style and folk art which are very ethnic and simple, and yet colorful and vibrant enough to speak volumes about the rich heritage. Folk art in India apparently has a great potential in the international market because of its traditional aesthetic sensibility and authenticity. The two most famous folk painting are Warli art of Maharashtra and Madhubani art of Mithila. The present study was conducted on adaptation of Madhubani motifs on stole through screen printing and hand embroidery. The 120 traditional Madhubani motifs were collected from secondary sources like books, journals, magazine and internet etc. and screened for their suitability to stole using screen printing and hand embroidery. The identified motifs were sketched manually and scanned from books, magazines etc. which were recreated and modified in CorelDRAW X5 and Adobe Photoshop to get the required complexity and elegance. The selected motifs were categorized in four categories viz. floral & foliage, geometrical, animal & bird and religious motifs and shown to the thirty experts to sought their preferences for selection of four top preferred motifs i.e. four from each category. Total thirty designs were prepared using selected sixteen motifs and got assessed from thirty experts for selection of five top preferred designs for preparation of design layout on stole. The base colour and fabric for stole were selected as per preferences of experts. Twenty five developed design placements were again shown to the experts and one best design placement of each selected five designs was selected for development of colour ways. Five colour ways for each selected five design placements were prepared and colour way that secured Ist rank was selected for development of stole through using screen printing and hand embroidery technique. The cost of each stole was determined by adding the cost of raw material, screen printing, hand embroidery and finishing charges. The screen printed and hand embroidered stoles were assessed for consumers’ acceptability on different parameters. Out of the one hundred twenty motifs, sixteen motifs selected for design development were motif number 8, 11, 29 and 30 in floral & foliage motifs, motif number 2, 8, 15 and 26 in geometrical motifs category, motif number 1, 18, 19 and 26 in animal & bird motifs category and motif number 2, 13, 28 and 30 in religious motifs category. The five top preferred designs were design number 14, 20, 22, 23 and 29. Preferences of experts for placement of selected five designs were placement III of design number 14 and 20, placement I of design number 22, placement II of design number 23 and placement V of design number 29. Most preferred colour ways for screen printing and hand embroidery as per experts’ choice were colour way I of design number 14 and 22, colour way II of design number 20 and 23 and colour way V of design number 29. Five stoles were developed through screen printing and hand embroidery as per preferred placements and colour ways of selected five designs. All the screen printed and hand embroidered stoles were found very enthralling and accepted by consumers on different assessment parameters. The cost of the stoles was rated appropriate by all the consumers. Thus, traditional Madhubani motifs adapted for development of designs for stole has expanded the design base for textile products and cater to the urge of high-end clients through variety of designs and unique combination of screen printing and hand technique.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on the effect of irrigation and nitrogen levels on growth, yield and quality of onion (Allium cepa L.) under drip system(CCSHAU, 2019) Pooja Rani; Batra, V.K.The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar to study the effect of drip irrigation and nitrogen fertigation on growth, yield and quality of onion. The experiment was laid out in a Split Plot Design with sixteen treatment combinations comprised of four levels of drip irrigation (60, 80, 100 and 120% CPE) as main plots and four levels of nitrogen fertigation (75, 100, 125 and 150 kg/ha) as sub plots and one control treatment replicated thrice. The seven to eight week old seedlings of onion cv. Hisar Onion 4 were transplanted at 15 x 10 cm spacing during the first week of January in both years The growth parameters, i.e., plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length and days to maturity were recorded maximum under drip irrigation at 120% CPE as compared to other levels of drip irrigation, whereas the all yield and quality parameters were recorded maximum with drip irrigation at 100% CPE as compared to other levels of irrigation except that neck thickness, fresh and dry weight of leaves, split bulbs, bolting percentage and unmarketable bulb yield. However, maximum water use efficiency (59.20 and 60.60 kg/ha/mm) was recorded with the drip irrigation 60% CPE as compared to other high levels of drip irrigation. Among the different levels of nitrogen fertigation, all growth parameters were observed maximum with 150 kg/ha nitrogen fertigation as compared to other levels of nitrogen fertigation. Yield and quality parameters were recorded higher under 125 kg/ha nitrogen fertigation, whereas nitrogen use efficiency (263.53 and 259.80 kg/ha, resp.) was found highest with the fertigation of 75 kg nitrogen as compared to rest of fertigation treatments in both yea` Interaction of irrigation and nitrogen fertigation also significantly affected the almost all growth, yield and quality paramete` The highest benefit cost ratio (3.35 and 3.62) was obtained from drip irrigation at 100% CPE and 125 kg/ha nitrogen, while the lowest benefit cost ratio (1.60 and 1.61) was found at 60% CPE with 75 kg/ha nitrogen fertigation during both years, respectively.ThesisItem Open Access Physiological and biochemical responses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to bio-inoculants under varying soil moisture regimes(CCSHAU, 2018) Pooja Rani; Sharma, K.DThe study entitled “Physiological and biochemical responses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to bio-inoculants under varying soil moisture regimes” was conducted during rabi season of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Crop Physiology Research Area of Agronomy Department CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The experiment was designed as split plot consisting of three irrigation schedules viz., one irrigation at crown root initiation (CRI), two irrigation at CRI and heading stage and three irrigation at CRI, tillering, heading stage in main plot and five bio-inoculants treatments viz., recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (AM) with Azotobacter and PSB (75% of RDF), AM fungi with RDF, Azotobacter with PSB and RDF, AM fungi with 75% of RDF in the sub-plots with three replication. Data were recorded for various morphological traits including plant height, leaf area, leaf area index and leaf area duration at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after showing, physiological traits observations were recorded at anthesis and 20 days after anthesis including canopy temperature depression, transpiration rate, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, leaf water potential, leaf osmotic potential, relative stress injury, chlorophyll content i.e was significantly decreases under restricted irrigation. Biochemical parameters i.e total soluble protein, peroxidase and proline content which show maximum reduction in restricted irrigation while catalase activity, total soluble sugar were reduced maximum in irrigated control. Nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorous content in straw, grain and soil were more pronounced in restricted condition and sedimentation value, crude protein content, hectoliter weight was maximum in irrigated control as compare to restricted irrigation. Yield attributes also maximum with irrigated control and grain yield showed maximum decrease by 28.5 %. Among the bio-inoculants maximum improvement was seen with AM fungi with RDF treated crops while minimum with 75 % RDF with AM fungi. These can be useful for the improvement through bio-inoculants for developing the better traits under varying moisture stress.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of phosphorus applications under different types of salinity in tomato(CCSHAU, 2016) Pooja Rani; Sharma, Manoj KumarTwo screen house experiments were conducted to study the relative tolerance of tomato (Var. Hisar Arun) and interactive effect of phosphorus with different types of salinity on tomato crop. In first experiment, the treatment consisted of two types (Cl- and SO42- dominated) with the four levels 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 dS m-1 of salinity. In the second experiment, interactive effect of different phosphorus levels (0, 12.5, 25 and 50 ppm) with chloride and sulphate dominated salinity was investigated on yield, fruit quality and nutrient content of tomato. Both the experiments were replicated thrice in a completely randomized design and the desired types of salinity were created using chloride and sulphate salts of the Na+, Ca+ and Mg2+. Salinity induced early flowering in tomato and this advancement was more pronounced in chloride dominated salinity as compared to sulphate dominated salinity. With the increasing salinity levels from 0 to 8 dS m-1 there was a decrease in the plant height, number of fruits, yield and mineral composition of tomato. SO42- salinized plants had better vegetative growths as compared to that of Cl- salinized plants. The overall reduction of fresh fruit yield at an ECe of 2, 4, 6 and 8 dS m-1 under Cl- and SO42- dominated salinity was 8.1 and 3.4, 26.4 and 16.2, 40.0 and 28.1 and 51.5 and 42.5 per cent, respectively as compared to non-saline conditions. Thus there is more than 50% yield reduction at 8 dS m-1 in chloride salinity. There was a significant increase in TSS, firmness, ascorbic acid and titratable acidity of tomato fruit with increasing level of salinity due to water and ionic stress created by both types of salinity. However, values of all these fruit quality parameters decreased with increased application of P due to stress mitigation by P under saline soil conditions. The increased levels of P from 0 to 50 ppm in soil resulted in increase of both growth and fruit yield of tomato irrespective of types and levels of salinity. Cl-1 content of plants decreased and N, P, K and SO42- content of plant was increased with application of P. A synergistic relationship between P and SO42- and an antagonistic one between P and Cl-1 ions was established. The mean ECe, water soluble Na+, Ca+, Mg2+, Cl- and SO42- increased with increase in the salinity level from 0 to 8 dS m-1 and these increasing concentrations in soil affect the tomato crop. These concentrations decreased significantly as applied P increased in soil. Therefore, P mitigates the effect of salinity.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of foliar application of urea and micronutrients on garlic seed production(CCSHAU, 2015) Pooja Rani; Panghal, V.P.S.A field experiment comprising four levels of urea (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%) and four micronutrients [ZnSO4, MnSO4, FeSO4 (0.5%) and CuSO4 (0.2%)] was conducting at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during Rabi season of 2014-15. Urea and micronutrients along with sticker were sprayed at 30, 45 and 60 days after planting. The total seventeen treatment combinations including control were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The cloves were planted at a spacing of 15x10 cm in a plot size of 3.0x3.0 m. The obtained results clearly indicate that applying medium rate of nitrogen fertilizer (1.5% urea) in combination with zinc sulphate significantly increased the plant growth, yield and quality traits in garlic as compared to the lowest rate of fertilization. The foliar spaying of 0.5% zinc sulphate in combination with 1.5% urea for three times in 15 days interval gave the superior results pertaining to all measured parameters than other treatments. The maximum plant height (36.38 and 53.80 cm) at 60 and 90 days after planting, number of leaves per plant (10.12), leaf length (28.17 cm), polar and equatorial diameter (5.24 and 4.86 cm), number of cloves per bulb (37.17), length of clove (25.05 cm), average weight of shoot per plant (15.60 g), average weight of clove (0.95 g), bulb weight (28.80 g), total plant biomass (44.40 g), total bulb yield (155.51 q/ha), total soluble solids (36.01) and dry matter content of leaf and clove (45.18 and 48.00%) was recorded with foliar application of 0.5% zinc sulphate in combination with 1.5% urea. From the study, it is suggested that the garlic crop fertilized with 1.5% urea in combination with 0.5% zinc sulphate gave the best results were obtained.
