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. The PCR was run with primers namely, 16s Forward 5`GGATGAGCCHAGGCCTA3` and 16s Reverse Primer 5`CGGTGTGTACAAGGCCCGG3` PCR product was run on 1.5% agarose gel for appearance of banding patterns sequence of PCR product of 16S rDNA, the electropherogram and dendogram generated which showed genetic similarity between the isolate 10 (Enterobacter ludwigii) and 14 (Enterobacter cloacae).ThesisItem Open Access Knowledge and Adoption of Improved Sugarcane Production Technology by the Farmers in Lakhimpur (Kheri) District of (U.P.)

(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 Studies on antimicrobial effect of botanicals on leaf blight caused by Alternaria brassicae sacc on Indian mustard(ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2021-07) Shukla, Anuj Kumar; Rahul, Dr. S.

India is considered the origin of ber. The fruit is Rhamnaceae, which is generally considered the fruit of the poor. Ber is a good source of carbohydrates, essential minerals, ascorbic acid, iron, calcium, and phosphorus etc. Ber are attacked by many pests and pathogens. Many fungal diseases are also present such as powdery mildew (Oidium erysiphoides f.sp. zizyphi), rust (Phakospora zizyphus vulgaris), leaf spot (Alternaria alternata, Cercospora zizyphi, Cladosporium zizyphi, Phoma macrostoma, Isariopsis indica var. Zizyphi), etc. Due to the Alternaria Alternata fungus, it causes maximum damage to plants. As a result of this disease large parts of the blade are burnt and in such cases the leaflets often wilt and drop and cause severe yield loss. This study was conducted in the ber growing area of Uttar Pradesh, Ayodhya. The experiment carried out at ANDUAT, Kumarganj Main Experiment Station of Horticulture (MES)and plant pathology laboratory in 2019-2021. This fungus was isolated from infected leaves of ber plants and isolation, purification and identification of pathogen was performed. Morphological and cultural study was performed by Poison food technique to find that the fungus was Alternaria alternata with branching mycelium. And septate with light brown to blackish conidiophore in the acropetal sequence. And spores are olive colured, green to dark brown with transverse and longitudinal septa.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on Epidemiology and management of alternaria leaf spot of aloevera (Aloe Barbadensis Miller)(ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2021-08) Kumar, Rajnish; Mishra, Dr. R.S.Aloe barbadensis (L.) is a perennial, drought-resisting, xerophytic plant belonging to the family Liliaceae. The name, Aloe, is derived from the Arabic “Alloeh” or Hebrew “halal” meaning bitter shiny substance. The leaves are 40-60 cm long, erect, broad, thick and fleshy succulent, green in colour, narrowlanceolate in shape with long acuminate tip with small thorns on both edges. The central bulk of the leaf contains colourless mucilaginous pulp, made up of large, thin walled mesophyll cells. The plant contains 95 – 96% water and over 75 other constituents which include vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, phenolic compounds, saponins and amino acids (Boudreau and Beland, 2006). Aloe vera is attacked by many fungi and pest such as Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Nigrospora oryzae, Cladosporium, Stemphylium botryosum and Penicilliumsp. (Shaker et al 2016). The leaf spot illness caused by Alternaria alternata is one amongst the fore most serious plant diseases touching business cultivation of aloe (Rukhsana et al 2019). This illness is marked by dark brown, death spots, circular to oval with grey centers developing on each surface of leaves (Silva and Singh et al 2012). Severely infected plant begins drying far away from the tip leading a big reduction within the yield of leaves up to eightieth.This study was conducted in the Aloevera growing area. It is one of the important medicinal plants in India, cultivated in fairly large area in many in parts of India viz., Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The experiment carried out in (MAP) at ANDUAT, Kumarganj Ayodhya and plant pathology laboratory in 2020-2021.The Aloe vera leaves showing symptoms of disease were collected aseptically from Medicinal & Aromatic Plant (MAP) Experiment Station of Horticulture farm, ANDUA&T, Kumarganj, Ayodhya and brought to the laboratory for isolation and identification of fungi. Pathogen was isolated from infected leaves and identified as Alternaria alternata on the basis of cultural and morphological character descrived by Booth, (1971), Ellis, (1971), Barnett and Hunter, 1972). Present investigation revealed significant variation in concentration of biomolecules recorded from leaf spot infected Aloevera plants. Total Phenol content was observed 24.6mg/100g dry wt. in Soil application of FYM (1.0kg/m2) enriched with Trichoderma +Pseudomonas talc based formulations each @2.0% at planting time. On the onset of diseased symptom 3 spray of Pseudomonas fluorescence @2.0% of talc based formulation and neem oil @300ppm followed by Soil application of FYM (1.0kg/m2) enriched with Trichoderma +Pseudomonas talc based formulations each @2.0% at planting time. On the onset of diseased symptoms 3 spray of Mancozeb @0.25% with 15 days interval. (18.6mg/100g dry wt.).ThesisItem Open Access Effect of micro nutrients on fruiting and yield on guava (Psidium guajava L.) CV.
