The study titled “Evaluation of varieties and fertilizers doses on growth, yield and quality of cherry tomato grown under protected condition” was conducted in 2021-2022 season at the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during the Rabi-2021-22 with the objective to determine the effect of fertilizer application of micronutrients on cherry tomato variety Pusa cherry, Ngamoti and Roja Red for their growth, fruit quality and yield and to work out the economics of various treatments. There were twelve treatments with T1  (Pusa Cherry -1 (RDF@30+10+40 kg/1000m²) as control, T2 Pusa Cherry -1 @ 30+7+35 kg/1000m2, T3Pusa Cherry -1 @ 35+12+40 kg/1000m2, T4Pusa Cherry -1 @ 40+17+45 kg/1000m2, T5Nagmoti (RDF@30+10+40 kg/1000m²) , T6Nagmoti @ 30+7+35 kg/1000m2, T7Nagmoti @ 35+12+40 kg/1000m2, T8Nagmoti @ 40+17+45 kg/1000m2, T9 Roja Red (RDF@30+10+40 kg/1000m²), T10 Roja Red @ 30+7+35 kg/1000m2, T11 Roja Red @ 35+12+40 kg/1000m2 and T12 Roja Red @ 40+17+45 kg/1000m2. Treatment T4 (Pusa Cherry -1 @ 40+17+45 kg/1000m2) out performed the rest of the treatments in all parameters of growth, yield and quality and net return ofT4 with Rs. 4,07,800 and the highest B:C ratio of 1:6.7.

An experiment was conducted on “Production of Chilli Crop under Prayagraj Agro Climatic Conditions: Role of Bio Stimulants as plant growth regulators” to observed the effect of bio stimulants on growth parameters. The objective of the study is the effects of different doses bio stimulants and its role in growth, yield and quality of Chili variety TMPH-409. The experiment was laid in the randomized block design with 13 treatments and 3 replications with different combination of bio-stimulants. Under this experiment, 13 treatments were taken including control. Different bio stimulants used comprised of BIOSTAR, TERMINATOR33, STRICKER and OPERA, virtue all four at different doses of 2 mL, 2.5 mL, 3mL, 3.5 mL, 4 mL and 4.5 mL and mix with water. From the above experimental finding it may be concluded that the T9 (STRICKER – 3 mL/ L water) was found to be the best in the term of growth, yield and quality. The highest net return was found in the T9 (STRICKER – 3 mL/ L water) and the highest benifit cost ratio was found in the treatment T9 with 1.88 and found the best trestment.

A field experiment entitled “Inter Cropping of Chilli With Coriander and Fenugreek in Prayagraj Agro-climatic Conditions” was conducted from December, 2021 – March, 2022 at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and 08 treatments. The experiment consisted of six cropping combinations viz., sole chilli, sole coriander, sole fenugreek, chilli + coriander, chilli+ fenugreek, chilli + coriander + fenugreek. The highest yield (green chilli) was obtained from treatment T1 (Sole chilli @ 100 % RDF) (13.06 t ha-1). Among the intercropping treatments, the highest chilli yield (12.73 t ha-1) was obtained from treatment T4 (chilli @ 85% RDF + coriander @15% RDF) whereas the lowest (10.54 t ha-1) was found in treatment T8 (chilli @ 55 % RDF + coriander @ 22.5 % RDF + fenugreek@ 22.5% RDF). Chilli production was decreased by intercropping, but overall chilli yield rose above solitary chilli due to the contribution of companion crops. The highest chilli along with intercrop yield (150.71 t ha-1), gross return (1101506 Rs. ha-1), net return (817969 Rs. ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (3.88) were obtained from treatment T8 (chilli @ 55 % RDF + coriander @ 22.5 % RDF + fenugreek@ 20% RDF). Considering the experimental findings, treatment T8 (chilli @ 55 % RDF + coriander @ 22.5 % RDF + fenugreek@ 20% RDF) found the most suitable combination for higher productivity and economic return under Prayagraj agro-climatic conditions.

A present investigation was carried out with title “Efficiency of different Bio Stimulants on Chilli Crop Under Prayagraj Agro Climatic Conditions” at the central research farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh during kharif, 2022-23 with a view to identify the effects of different doses bio stimulants and its role in growth, yield and quality of Chilli variety TMPH-409. The experiment was laid in the randomized block design with 13 treatments and 3 replications with different combination of bio stimulants. Under this experiment, overall, 13 treatments were taken including control. Different bio stimulants used comprised of Yalex, Leader, Jackpot and Robo, virtue all four at different doses of 0.5 ml, 1.0 ml, 1.5 ml, 2.0 ml, 2.5 ml and 3.0 ml and mix with water each. From the above experiment finding it may be concluded that the treatment of 3.0 ml L-1 Water (Jackpot) was found to be best in the terms of growth viz, plant height, days to first flowering, days to 50% flowering, number of fruits per plant and in terms of yield viz, average fruit weight, Yield per plant, Yield per Hectare and in terms of quality viz, TSS and Ascorbic acid.

Broccoli (Brassica Oleraceae var. Italica) is an unusual vegetable that has gained appeal among Indian producers in recent years due to its excellent nutritional content and market potential. An experiment was done to measure the broccoli’s growth, yield, and quality. The research experiment was carried out at Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj during the year 2021-2022. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design comprising of 10 Broccoli genotypes as follows: viz.,Fiesta , Green Magic ,Green Giant ,Local Broccoli ,Lucky F1, Broccoli Hybrid, Green star F1, Broccoli Captain 488,Green Fairy, Anastya , with three replications. The observed and recorded were sets of parameters divided in 3 categories as growth, yield and quality. The results revealed that the genotype “Green Magic” had the best overall performance than the other evaluated genotypes of Broccoli as revealed from the data of the growth, yield and quality parameters.
