    EFFECT OF SEVERITY OF PRUNING AND INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF CUSTARD APPLE.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2020-11-02) MAHALLE, , ADITYA TULSHIDAS.; Patil, Dr. S. R.
    An experiment entitled “Effect of severity of pruning and integrated nutrient management on yield and quality of custard apple” was carried out during the year 2019-20 at Shivar Block, Central Research station, Akola. with objectives to study the effect of severity of pruning on growth, yield and quality of custard apple, To study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of custard apple and to find out the combined effect of pruning levels and integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of custard apple. An experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with nine treatment combinations and three replications comprising of three pruning intensities viz., 20 cm, 15 cm, control and three application of INM viz., I1 - 75% RDF(194g:94g:94g NPK/plant) +100g AM +100g Azotobacter +100g PSB +0.50Kg neem cake at onset of monsoon, I2 - Half N(97g) +Full P&K(94g:94g)+100g AM +100g Azotobacter +100g PSB +0.50Kg neem cake - Ist Application.1/4 N(48g) - IInd Application and 1/4 N(48g) - IIIrd Application. respectively at one month interval and control. Regarding the application of pruning of 20 cm from tip showed the better performance in terms of plant height, number of shoots per branch, canopy of plant, leaf area, days to flowering, number of fruits per plant, yield, stony fruit percentage and fruit quality in terms of average weight of fruit, fruit volume, fruit to pulp ratio, pulp %, fruit set %, number of different grade fruit, total soluble solids, acidity %, T.S.S and acidity ratio, total sugar, reducing, non-reducing sugar. In respect of integrated nutrient management application (Half N(97g) +Full P&K(94g:94g)+100g AM +100g Azotobacter +100g PSB +0.50Kg neem cake - IstApplication, 1/4 N(48g) - IIndApplication, 1/4 N(48g) - IIIrd Application, respectively at one month interval) showed better performance in terms of plant height, number of shoots per branche, spread, canopy of plant, leaf area, days to flowering, yield, stony fruit percentage, and fruit quality in terms of average weight of fruit, fruit volume, fruit to pulp ratio, pulp %, fruit set %, number of different grade fruit, total soluble solids, acidity %, T.S.S and acidity ratio, total sugar, reducing, non-reducing sugar. Among the combinations of pruning and integrated nutrient management, the combined application of 20 cm pruning + Half N(97g) +Full P&K(94g:94g)+100g AM +100g Azotobacter +100g PSB +0.50Kg neem cake - IstApplication, 1/4 N(48g) -IIndApplication, 1/4 N(48g) - IIIrd Application showed the better performance in terms of plant height, number of shoots per plant, spread, canopy of plant, leaf area, Yield, Stony fruit %, Average weight of fruit, fruit volume, fruit to pulp ratio, pulp %, fruit set %, number of different grade fruit, total soluble solids, T.S.S and acidity ratio, total sugar, reducing sugar in custard apple cv. Balanagar. In overall study of present investigation, it was observed that that for getting the quality fruit yield of custard apple prunned the custard apple plant at 20 cm from the tip in the month of April and apply Half N(97g) +Full P and K(94g:94g)+100g AM +100g Azotobacter +100g PSB +0.50Kg neem cake as Ist application in the month of June, 1/4 N(48g) -IInd application in the month of July and 1/4 N(48g) - IIIrd application in the Month of August.

    Title : PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF CHICKPEA IN WASHIM DISTRICT.
    (Publisher : Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2020-11-11) Authors : KALE, AISHWARYA VIJU.; Advisor : Ganvir, Dr. B. N.
    Abstract : The present study of production and marketing of Chickpea in Washim district was carried out during the year 2018-2019, with the following objectives1. To study the performance of chickpea in Washim district. 2. To estimate cost and returns of chickpea production. 3. To study the marketing of chickpea. 4. To identify the constraints in production and marketing of chickpea grower. The performance of chickpea was examined by estimating the growth rates of area, production, and productivity of chickpea. The standard cost concept was used for working out cost and returns. Marketing aspects was studied by calculating producer’s share in consumer’s rupee. And the constraints in production and marketing were identified. The following conclusion drawn from the study. The gross cropped area was highest in large group i.e. 7.86 hectare followed by medium 3.39 hectare and small group 1.90 hectare. Among all soybean dominated the cropping pattern in kharif and chickpea in rabi. The share of area under chickpea (Rabi) in small, medium and large size of land holding group and at overall level in gross cropped area was 13.54, 15.08, 13.98 and 14.20 per cent respectively. Per hectare total cost of cultivation of chickpea i.e. cost 'C3' was highest in large size group i.e. Rs. 49148.00 followed by medium size group Rs.47182.00 and small size group Rs. 46656.00 respectively, and at overall level Rs. 47900.00. The benefit cost ratio of chickpea at cost 'C3' was 1.54 in small group, 1.65 in medium group and 1.72 in large group. For marketing of chickpea large number of farmers used channel III (i.e. Producer- Wholesaler-Retailer-Consumer). Producer’s share in consumer’s rupee was highest in channel-I i.e. 98.29 per cent. Net price received by the producer was high in channel-I. The major problem faced by chickpea growers were lack of technical knowledge, lack of financial facilities, high commission charges, high cost of fertilizer and inadequate storage facilities experienced in study area.

    Title : ECONOMICS OF PRODUCTION AND MARKETING OF SAFFLOWER IN AKOLA DISTRICT.
    (Publisher : Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2020-11-12) Authors : RASKAR, SHRIRAM ANNA; Advisor : Suryawanshi, Dr. S. N.
    Abstract : Oilseed crops have been the backbone of several agricultural economics from antiquity and play a prominent role in agricultural industries and trade throughout the world. The present investigation was aimed to study ‘‘Economics of production and marketing of safflower in Akola district’’. The study based on primary data for the year 2018-2019. The data was collected from Akola, Barshi-takli and Patur tahsils in Akola district. Total 90 growers were selected. The data on cost of cultivation was collected from the growers and data relating to marketing were collected from marketing related people. In case of socio-economic characteristics of overall safflower growers, it was observed that average age of safflower growers was 41.38 years. The average total land holding size was 2.97 hectares. Under cropping pattern, gross cropped area 4.31 hectares. Yield of main produce was 17.64 quintal per hectare. The different majors of farm income were also estimated at their respective costs, output-input ratio and per quintal cost of production. Gross return was Rs 74383.58. It was clear that, farm business income, family labour income and net profit were Rs 74383.58, Rs 2359.5 and Rs 30643.87, respectively. It was clear that; Output-Input ratio was 1.70 in safflower farm. Per quintal, cost of production of safflower was Rs 2493.00. About resource productivity and resource use efficiency in safflower production. In area under safflower, machine labour and nitrogen are underutilization. These resources are scope to increase in safflower production. In the country while seed, phosphorus and family human labour are overutilization in safflower production. These resources are excess use in safflower production. At overall level, production of safflower main produce was obtained to be 17.54 quintals and by produce was obtain1.32 quintal per hectare. The per quintal marketing price spread in safflower marketing through three marketing channels in channel-I, It was observed that price spread was found to be Rs 63.00 In regard to channel-II, It was observed that price spread was Rs 120.70 per quintal and channel-III producer was price spread was Rs 382.54 per quintal. Constraints faced by safflower growers while marketing i.e Uncertainty of prices, transportation, high commission charges and inadequate storage facilities. Overall percentages of these items were, (87.78 per cent), (71.11 per cent), (65.56 per cent) and (68.69) per cent, respectively.
