A pigeonpea variety (Phule Tur 12) is developed by pedigree selection method from a cross ICP-332 x BSMR-736 at Pulses Improvement Project, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri (MS). It has semi-spreading, indeterminate growth habit, bold seed size, moderately resistant to wilt, sterility mosaic and tolerant to pod borer, pod fly, root knot and cyst nematode, better response to inputs and perform well under rainfed condition. In All India coordinated trials during 2008-09 to 2011-12 on an average, this genotype PT-12 yielded 1552 kg ha -1 and recorded 33.10, 55.35 and 38.94 per cent higher seed yield over national checks UPAS-120 (1166 kg ha -1 ), ICPL-87 (999 kg ha -1 ) and GT-101 (1117 kg ha -1 ) respectively. In regional and State multilocation trials, during 2007-08 to 2010-11, this variety PT-12 performed exceedingly well by producing consistently higher average grain yield of 2307 kg ha -1 than the checks with 43.20 per cent higher yield and early maturity. Hence this entry identified as high yielding variety for central zone by Central Variety Identification Committee during Annual Group Meet on Pigeonpea, held at UAS, Bangalore, during 13-15 th May, 2012.
Medicinal nuts like hirada and ritha have many medicinal properties and used for many pharmaceutical operations. Presently shelling of hirada (Terminalia chebula) and ritha (Sapindus mukorossi) nuts is done manually, which is labour intensive, slow and tedious operation. Therefore, a power operated medicinal nut sheller was developed on the basis of shear principle. The capacity of the machine has been observed to be 114 kg-h-1 and 170 kg-h-1 for hirada and ritha nuts, respectively. Shelling efficiency of nuts was 83 per cent and 80.66 per cent for hirada and ritha, respectively. Per cent broken seeds were observed as 28.9 per cent and 7.9 per cent for hirada and ritha, respectively.
Background: Mung bean is one of the important pulse crop requiring low inputs. The productivity of kharif mung bean is very low. The present improved varieties have lower yield potential and disease susceptibility. There is a need to develop high yielding varieties combined with early to mid synchronous maturity, better quality and resistance/tolerance to major pests and diseases. Methods: The green gram var. Phule Chetak was developed by pedigree selection method from a cross between SML-668 X Naval at Oilseeds Research Station, MPKV, Jalgaon. It was tested over several locations and environments for its stability performance. Result: The results indicated a significant improvement in yield level under field conditions. The new variety Phule Chetak reported an average yield of 1003 kg/ha which is 26.96%, 36.46%, 29.42%, 21.72%, 17.58% and 13.21 per cent higher than the check varieties Vaibhav, BPMR-145, AKM-8802, BM-2002-1, BM-2003-2 and Utkarsha respectively. It is bold seeded having early maturity, moderately resistant to major diseases like powdery mildew, mungbean yellow mosaic virus under field conditions. Considering its consistent performance, the mung bean genotype PM-707-5 has been released for cultivation in the kharif season for Maharashtra under the name of Phule Chetak in Joint Agresco during 29-30 October, 2020 held at Dr PDKV, Akola.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
