The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomize Block Design with two factors viz., row-spacings (S) and micronutrient applications (M). The first factor i.e. row-spacings included 30x10 cm (Si), 40x10 cm (S2) & 50x10 cm (S3) whereas, the second factor i.e. micronutrient application included four treatments viz., without micronutrients (Mo), Zink Sulphate Monohydrate (33% Zn+15% S) @ 20kg/ha (Mi), Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (20% B) @ 20kg/ha (M2) and equal quantity of each Zink Sulphate Monohydrate (33% Zn+15% S), Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (20% B) and a commercial formulation containing 6.0% Zn, 3.0% Fe, 0.5% Cu and 1.5% Mn @10kg/ha (M3) in variety of All Green'. The treatments under both the factors were applied in all possible combinations in three replications. The data were recorded on plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, leaf area (cm2), dry weight of plants (g) days to 50 per cent flowering (days after sowing, DAS) number of spikes per plant, spike length (cm), spikelet length (cm), 100 seed weight (g), seed yield (q/ha) germination percentage, seedling shoot length (cm), seedling root length (cm), total seedling length (cm), seedling dry weight (mg), seedling vigour index I and seedling vigour index II. Results indicated that row-spacing of 50x10 cm recorded maximum values for plant height, number of leaves per plant, dry weight of plants, days to 50% of flowering, number of spikes per plant, spike length, spikelet length, 100 seed weight, seedling shoot length, seedling root length, total seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index-I and seedling vigour index-II. Maximum seed yield was found in closest row-spacing of 30x10 cm. Germination percentage was noted at par at 40x10 cm and 50x10 cm row-spacings which was significantly higher than that in 30x10 cm row-spacing. Among the micronutrients, M2 registered maximum values for plant height, dry weight of plants, leaf area, days to 50% of flowering, number of spikes per plant, spike and spikelet length, seed yield and germination percentage. The treatment M3 showed second highest germination percentage and highest seedling shoot length, seedling root length, total seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index I and seedling vigour index II. In the view of high seed yield and seed quality parameters simultaneously, promising treatment combinations were S2M), S2M2 and S3M3. Correlation coefficient values indicated that seed yield showed either negative or non-significant positive correlation with all the plant growth, seed yield and seed quality parameters. Contrarily, the principal seed quality parameter i.e., germination percentage exhibited significant and positive correlation with most of characters viz., plant height, dry weight of plants and days to 50% flowering, number of spikes per plant, spike length, spikelet length and 100 seed weight, seedling shoot length, seedling root length, total seedling length, seedling dry weight, seedling vigour index-I and seedling vigour index-II.

    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-10-30) PUSHPENDRA; Mandge, Harshad M.
    Moringa leaves are nutritionally rich as it contain higher amount of protein, vitamin C and other micronutrients. The moringa leaves based value added product diversification can play important role in the increased consumption and utilization of the leaves. These diversified value added products from moringa leaves could help not only to alleviate malnutrition problems but also help to address micronutrient deficiency in Indian population. Ready-to-serve beverage, instant leaves powder and mixed jam are the value added convenience products identified for incorporation of moringa leaves for nutritional enrichment. Moringa leaves based RTS was developed with the blend of moringa leaves: Aonla: Aloe vera. The formulation of blend containing 60% Aonla+Aloe vera (70: 30) and 40% MLJ has highest overall acceptability score. The different formulations of moringa leaves, aonla and aloe vera blends were stored for six months and physicochemical attributes were studied during the storage period. TSS, acidity, total sugar and reducing sugar was found to be increased during the storage period, while pH, protein, ascorbic acid, non-reducing sugar and total phenol content observed to be decreased as the storage period progressed. Among the formulation of blended beverage, T3 (60% Aonla+Aloe vera and 40% MLJ) was found to be stable and also had good organoleptic score at the end of storage period. Effect of drying conditions on the physico-chemical properties of moringa leaf powder was also investigated. The samples with and without blanching pre-treatment were dried at different temperature (40°C, 50°C, 60°C). Moringa leaf powder prepared with pre-treatment 0.1% sodium bicarbonate and oven drying at 50°C for 3 hours was found to be best on the basis of nutritional qualities which contain 28.76% protein, total phenol 206.26 mg/100g and ascorbic acid 80.65 mg/100g. Mixed Jam was standardized with moringa leaf powder, wood apple and karonda fruit pulp. The formulation of blend containing 5% moringa leaf powder and 90% wood apple + karonda (40:60) has highest overall acceptability score. The different formulation of blended mixed jam was analyzed for their physico-chemical properties.

    The present investigation entitled "Development and evaluation of guava-ginger blended RTS beverage” was carried out at Post Harvest Technology Laboratory and Biochemistry Laboratory, College of Horticulture, BUAT, Banda (U.P.) during 2020-21 to develop guava-ginger blended ready to serve and also to study biochemical changes in developed RTS during storage period up to six months. The pulp/juices of guava and ginger were blended in different proportions to develop RTS. There were eight combinations of blend pulp/juices. All treatments were standardized as juice or pulp 10%, TSS 10°B, acidity 0.3% at initial stage and were stored at ambient temperature (28+4°C). All treatments were consumable up to 6 months on the basis of sensory evaluation by the panel of 7 semi-trained judges. It was observed that all the sensory characteristics continuously decrease with storage period. The biochemical properties were observed in all treatments at 0 day and 180 days. The RTS product developed by different combinations of guava + ginger is beneficial for health point of view. The combination of T2(90% guava + 10% ginger) was found superior in overall acceptability (7.38) during 180 days of storage in terms of organoleptic evaluation. The RTS prepared by combination of T: (30 % guava + 70 %) ginger had minimum change in mean value of TSS (08.2%), Brix: acid ratio (34.58%), Total sugars (1.55%) and reducing sugars (03.75%) and in comparison to other blending ratios. It was recorded that during the storage the TSS, brix: acid ratio, total sugar, total sugars: titratable acidity ratio, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, nonenzymatic browning and pH were increased in all the treatments while titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, protein, total phenols were decreased with storage period.

    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2021-09-28) Yadav, Agnivesh; Singh, Rajesh Kumar
    The present investigation entitled “Studies on Variability and Genetic Divergence in Onion (Allium cepa L.)” was conducted at vegetable research farm, BUAT, Banda during rabi season 2019-20 to determine the extent of variability, estimate correlation coefficient among the important economic traits, find out the direct and indirect effect on yield and determine the information and genetic divergence in onion genotypes for various traits. The experiment was conducted in RBD with three replications with twenty genotypes of onion. The observations were recorded on ten randomly selected plants for the characters viz.plant stand at maturity, plant height (cm) at 75 DAT, number of leaves/plants at 75 DAT, neck thickness at 75 DAT, equatorial bulb diameter (cm), polar bulb diameter (cm), P: E ratio, 20 bulbs weight (kg), average bulb weight (g), double (%) on number basis, bolters (%) on number basis, rotten (%) on number basis, days to maturity at 60-70 % neck fall, days to harvesting after transplanting, thrips/plant, stemphylium blight (intensity %), total soluble solids (%), gross yield (kg/plot), gross yield (q/ha), marketable yield (kg/plot), marketable yield (q/ha). The analysis of variance indicated highly significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters during the experiment. Based on the per se performance the genotype/variety NHRDF Red-4, performed superior regarding most of the traits, but the genotype Sukh Sagar taken minimum duration and mature only in 80 days after transplanting, it harvested approximately 30-40 days before if compare to others genotypes and also yielded well, so that this variety can be also recommend for cultivation in Uttar Pradesh. The estimates of PCV were higher than the corresponding GCV for all the traits. High PCV were observed for various characters viz, double percent on number basis, bolters percent on number basis, rotten percent on number basis, stemphylium blight intensity, thrips per plant, marketable yield (kg/plot), gross yield (q/ha) and bolters percentage on number basis. The GCV was high for various characters viz., double on number basis, bolters on number basis, rotten % on number basis, gross yield q/ha, marketable yield kg/plot. The high heritability recorded for P: E ratio, average bulb weight, days to maturity 60-70 % neck fall, gross yield (kg/plot), days to harvesting after transplanting, and marketable yield (q/ha), during the experiment maximum genetic advance as percent of mean was recorded for number of leaves per plant at 75 days after planting, double (%) on number basis, bolters (%) on number basis, rotten (%) on number basis, gross yield (q/ha), marketable yield (kg/plot).The magnitude of genotypic correlation has been found higher than the corresponding phenotypic correlation for all the traits that indicated inherent association among various characters. The gross yield (kg/plot) showed highly strong positive association with plant height (cm) at 75 DAT, number of leaves/plant at 75 DAT, neck thickness at 75 DAT, equatorial bulb diameter (cm), polar bulb diameter (cm), P: E ratio, 20 bulb weight (kg), average bulb weight (g), and thrips/plant. The genotypic path coefficient analysis of different yield contributing and associated traits on gross yield kg/plot revealed that traits viz., average bulb weight (g) has the highest positive direct effect followed by P: E ratio, equatorial bulb diameter (cm), number of leaves/plants at 75 DAT, rotten (%) on number basis, days to maturity at 60-70 % neck fall, days to harvesting after transplanting, thrips/plant and TSS (%). It indicated that possibility of effective improvement on onion bulb gross yield through these components could be achieved. The highest inter cluster divergence was observed between genotypes of cluster III and V, hence the crosses between the genotypes of these clusters can be tried for improvement of yield.

    The experiment entitled “Diallel Analysis for Heterosis and Combining Ability Studies in Okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]” was undertaken with the objectives (i) To estimate the magnitude of heterosis for the yield and its component, (ii) To estimate the general combining ability of parents and specific combining ability of crosses, (iii) To study the gene action involved in inheritance of yield and yield attributing traits for planning of an appropriate strategy for development of high yielding okra hybrid as well as breeding procedure. The materials of experiment consisted of ten diverse parents Arka Anamika (P1), Kashi Pragati (P2), Hisar Naveen (P3), Hisar Unnat (P4), Punjab-8 (P5), Pusa-A-4 (P6), Varsha Upahar (P7), Akola Bahar (P8), Phule Vimukta (P9) and Punjab Suhavani (P10) and their 45 F1’s obtained by crossing in half-diallel fashion were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications at Vegetable Research Farm, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda, Uttar Pradesh during Rainy season, 2020. Observations were recorded on randomly selected five plants of each block maintained for eighteen traits viz. days to first flowering, days to 50 % flowering. node at which first flower appear, days to edible fruit maturity, number of nodes per plant, internodal length (cm), number of branches per plant, plant height (cm), number of fruits per plant, fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), number of seeds per fruit, seed weight per fruit, 100-Seed weight, seed yield per plant (g), fruit yield per plant (g) and fruit yield quintal per hectare. Significant mean squares due to genotypes, parents, hybrids and parents vs. hybrids were observed for most of the traits except for days to edible fruit maturity, fruit length (cm), seed yield per plant (g), node at first flower appear, number of node per plant, internodal length (cm) and number of branches per plant. The best cross combinations over better parent were P2 × P10 (21.42 %), which may be exploited as commercial hybrid after their stability test as they are not only high yielder but also possessed attractive fruit shape and colour as per present market demand. The estimates of GCA and SCA variances were significant indicating importance of additive and non additive gene actions for all the traits. Significant GCA and SCA effects were observed for all the traits which also evidenced close association with per se performance. Varsha Upahar (P7) was found as the best combiner for days to first flowering, node number, number of fruit and fruit lenght. Higher value of Ĥ1 and Ĥ2 compared to D̂ ̂ ̂ , significance value of ĥ2 , average degree of dominance (Ĥ1/D̂) ½ and ratio of KD/KR showed the preponderance of dominance genes in the expression of yield and other traits including quality parameters, suggested that heterosis breeding approaches might be more rewarding than selection to improve yield together with quality traits in okra.
