ThesisItem Open Access Economic analysis of paddy cultivation in Ambedkar Nagar District of Uttar Pradesh(ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2021-07-05) Verma, Saurabh; Singh, K.K.Paddy is most prominent crop among the food crops of India and is likely to be continued to dominant in future also. The highest percentage of people in country are engaged in the processing and marketing of paddy. The random cum purposive sampling technique were used to select District, Block, Village and the sample farmers, Ambedkar nagar District of Eastern Uttar Pradesh At first was selected purposively of the to avoid the operational inconvenience of the investigator with a list of all 9 blocks of Ambedkar nagar district of Eastern Uttar Pradesh along with area of paddy was undertaken block wise and the one of the block namely Tanda was selected purposively for this study. A list of village growing paddy in selected block was from official record and five villages having reasonable higher area under paddy were was obtained selected randomly for study. A list of all the cultivator of each selected villages were prepared along with their size of the operational holding and then it was arranged in ascending order on the basis of holding size. The cultivators were classified into three categories viz. below 1 ha. (marginal), 1- 2 ha. (small), and 2-4 ha (medium). Finally 100 farmers were selected randomly from five selected villages. The study reveals that per farm average investment on overall farms recorded to Rs.319642.70 In cropping pattern paddy covers 36.79 per cent to total cropped area and the cropping intensity was 193.00 per cent shows inverse relation with the size of holding. Per hectare cost of cultivation shows negative relation with size of holding as it was maximum of Rs. 39111.01 on small farms. On all farms per quintal cost of production overall was found to Rs.589.298 and productivity was 51.27 quintal per hectare. Five variables namely seed. machinery charges manure and fertilizer, irrigation charges and human labour were considered work-out the resource use efficiency. These three factors had positive role in production of paddy on all size groups of farms and two factor had negative role in the production of paddy. The value of M.V.P. to factor costs was found both( positive and negative) indicating the positive factor that, there is further scope to increase the investment on these factors to realize return more than the cost. In case of paddy cultivation Labour problems Technical, Irrigation, Seed problems, and financial problems. The following suggestion were made viz, to establish sound irrigation facilities, at farm level, HYV of seed to be used along with timely sowing and improved agricultural implements, liquidity of crop loan through Kisan Credit Card be available without delay.ThesisItem Open Access Isolation, evaluation and characterization of disease suppressing Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) of lentil rhizosphere(ANDUAT, kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2021-07-31) Ahmad, Niyaj; Kumar, Dr. AdeshA total number of 16 lentil rhizobacterial isolates were isolated at Nutrient Agar medium. Only twelve isoaltes showed antagonistic activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentil. All the antagonistic isolates produced diffusible and volatile antifungal metabolites. The isolates 10 and 14 showed a maximum antagonism 72% and 68.6% respectively. All the antagonistic isolates showed PGPR activity such as phosphate solubilization, IAA production and ammonia production. On the basis of their antagonistic and PGPR traits out of nine only two isolates, 10 and 14 were found to be more effective which were selected for SDS-PAGE and 16S rDNA molecular analysis. Strain 10 and 14 identified as Enterobacter ludwigii and Enterobacter cloacae. The protein bands of variable size are present and both isolates have similar protein banding pattern.

(ThesisItem Open Access Survey and management of black scurf disease in potato(2021-07-10) Singh, Aditya Pratap; Singh, S.K.Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), is an important vegetable crop grown throughout India and it play very important role in the supply of the nutrients to the under nourished vegetarian population of the country. Black scurf and stem canker diseases of potato is caused by the Rhizoctonia solani Kühn is one of the wide spread and destructive diseases in world. For minimizing the losses caused by black scurf need inexpensive and environmentally safe management practices. The present investigation regarding to studies on Survey and management of Black scurf disease of Potato was carried out during Rabi season 2020-21 at laboratory of department of Plant Pathology and field experiments were conducted at the Student’s Instructional Farm, Acharya Narendra Dev University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (UP) India. Black scurf disease was prevalent at all the surveyed five districts of Uttar Pradesh. Average disease incidence was 16.33 per cent and 10.53 per cent disease severity were recorded. Twelve germplasm were screened against black scurf disease. Among them C-28 was found Immune (no symptoms), C-48 was resistant, 8 germplasm were found moderately resistant, Kufri Ashok was moderately susceptible, none of genotypes was found Susceptible and Kufri Pukhraj was found highly susceptible. For the management of black scurf of potato, seven various combination practices such as mulching (neem leaf), addition of mushroom spent (organic amendment) in soil, bio-control agent (e.g. Trichoderma harzianum) mixed in soil and tuber treatment at the sowing time, tuber treatment and foliar application of fungicides viz. Carbendazim, Boric acid and tuber treatment with Thifluzamide 15%+ Difenoconazole 20% were evaluated in field conditions. The results clearly indicated that all treatment more or less reduced the black scurf disease incidence, disease severity and increase the germination, plant height, BSDI and yield of the potato. The black scurf disease incidence varies between 4.45 to 13.55 per cent. Among all treatments, lowest (4.45%) disease incidence was recorded in tuber treatment with boric acid 3% + Carbendazim 1% which was found most effective in managing the black scurf disease.ThesisItem Open Access Seasonal abundance of major insect pests and Integrated Pest Management of brinjal shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee(ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2021-07-29) Kumar, Akshay; Chandra, UmeshThe present investigation entitled “Seasonal abundance of major insect pests and Integrated Pest Management of brinjal shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee” has been proposed to be carried out at Students’ instructional Form of A.N.D.U.A. & T., Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) d Kharif season, 2019 and 2020.

The field experiment way laid out in split plot design assigning two tillage practices viz., Conventional tillage (3 ploughing) and Zero tillage (ferti-cum-seed drill) alongwith three fertility levels viz., 100% RDF (120:60:40 NPK kg ha-1), 75 % RDF + 25% RDN- FYM (6 t ha-1) and 50% RDF + 50% RDN- FYM (12 t ha-1) in main plot. Each main plot was further divided into four sub plots to accommodate sub plot treatments i.e. weed management practices comprising Weedy check, Weed free upto 60 DAS, Sulfosulfuron @ 30 g a.i. ha-1 (POE) and Sulfosulfuron @ 30 g a.i. ha-1 + Metsulfuron @ 4 g a.i. ha-1 (POE) - Ready mixture. Thus a total of 24 treatment combinations were tested in the study and were replicated thrice. The soil of the experimental field was silty loam in texture having slightly alkaline in reaction, low in organic carbon and available nitrogen, but medium in available phosphorus and potassium during experimentation. The total rainfall experienced during the crop growth season was 65.5 mm in 2018-19 and 228.4 mm in 2019-20. K-7903 (halna) variety of wheat was used for sowing of the experiment. Tillage, fertility levels and weed management were done as per treatment. Other crop management practices were followed as per the recommendation of the area. Among the tillage practices, zero tillage had a significant influence on weeds, crop growth, yield attributes and yield along with nutrient uptake of wheat during both the years. In case of fertility levels, application of 100% RDF (120:60:40 NPK kg ha-1) exerted significantly less weed density, weed dry matter, weed index and higher weed control efficiency, crop growth, yield attributes and yield, nutrient content and their uptake along with protein content during both the experimental years. Weed free upto 60 DAS recorded significantly less weed density, weed dry matter, weed index and higher weed control efficiency, crop growth, yield attributes and yield, nutrient content and their uptake along with protein content during both the experimental years. Economically, combined application of M2F1W2 (Zero tillage with application of 100% RDF (120:60:40 NPK kg ha-1) under weed free upto 60 DAS). However, higher net returns and B: C ratio were obtained with combined application of M2F1W4 (Zero tillage with application of 100% RDF (120:60:40 NPK kg ha-1) under post emergence application of Sulfosulfuron @ 30 g a.i. ha-1 + Metsulfuron @ 4 g a.i. ha-1 (POE)-Ready mixture) was proved superiority in terms of net returns and B: C ratio of wheat over rest of the treatments during both the years.ThesisItem Open Access Molecular characterization and Seroprevalence studies on equine haemoprotozoan diseases with special reference to Trypanosoma evansi(ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2021-07) Pal, Dr. Vijendra Kumar; Singh, Dr. AmitEquine haemoprotozoan diseases have negative impacts on health status and working efficiency of equines in different areas of the world including India. A cross sectional study was conducted in twenty seven districts of three agro-climatic zones of Eastern region, Uttar Pradesh, India during February, 2020 to February, 2021 to evaluate the prevalence (parasitological, molecular and serological) study, epidemiological relative risk factors, molecular characterization of equine haemoprotozoans and T. evansi parasite clearance efficacy of trypanocidal drugs in equine population. A total of 524 equines (381 horses, 50 donkeys and 93 mules) blood samples of both sex and different age groups were collected for the present study. The overall prevalence of T. evansi and T. equi was 8.01% and 5.15 % by microscopic method, 12.98 % and 19.85 % by PCR method and 17.56 % and 41.79 % by ELISA assay, respectively in the entire study area. The assessment of epidemiological relative risk factors associated with PCR and ELISA techniques revealed that mule and donkey population was at 5.34 and 3.69 times more prone to T. evansi infection as compared to the horses. The young animals and equines used for bricks kiln purpose were at 1.93 and 1.54 times more chances of T. evansi infection as compared to the adult and equines used for other transport purpose, respectively. North eastern plain zone and Vindhyan zone equines were at 1.34 and 1.09 times more susceptible to T. equi infection as compared to the equines of the Eastern plain zone of study area. Mule and donkeys were at 1.37 and 1.25 times whereas helminthes infested equines were at 1.42 times more prone to infection as compared to the horses and helminthes free equines in study area. Multiple alignment of nucleotide sequence of ITS1 and 18S RNA gene variants from Eastern part of Uttar Pradesh, Indian, T. evansi and T. equi showed homology with database sequences of GenBank. No trypanocidal drug was found to completely eliminate parasites with single recommended dose. Isometamidium chloride was recorded more effective than rest of the selected trypanocidal drugs.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF MORINGA OLEIFERA LEAF SUPPLEMENTATION ON PERFORMANCE IN BROILER CHICKENS(ANDUAT, Kumarganj,Ayodhya, 2021-07) Verma, Dr.Ajeet Kumar; Pramanik, P.S.Moringa leaf supplemented birds had highest body weight.
