Kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) is popularly comes in the category of coarse cereals and included in the broad category of cereals. Kodo millet is nutritionally superior to rice and wheat and presence of all the required nutrients, which make it suitable for industrial scale utilization in food stuff .It is also a good source of protein, carbohydrate and rich source of minerals, fibers, vitamins and micronutrients. Studies of engineering properties of variety Indira Kodo-I (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) was conduct in moisture range from 8.19 to 12.71 per cent (db). It was found the length, width and thickness ranged from 2.61 to 2.74 mm, 1.96 to 2.23 mm and 1.33 to 1.45 mm, respectively. The length-breadth ratio ranged from 1.33 to 1.23, the size ranged from 1.90 to 2.07 mm, the Sphericity varied from 0.73 to 0.76. Surface area and volume ranged from 9.06 to 11.53 m 2 , 2.59 to 3.46 m 3 respectively. It was further observed that the bulk density decreased from Kodo is 0.67 to 0.62 gml -1 , and true density increased from 1.20 to 1.24 gml -1 , porosity ranged from 43.99 to 50.27 per cent, the Angle of repose increased from 25°28' to 26°05'.
A field experiment was conducted to find out appropriate nutrient and weed management practices for yield maximization and nutrient uptake of onion during rabi 2018-19 at the experimental plot of Regional Research and Technology Transfer Station, Keonjhar of Odisha. The experiment was laid out in Split plot technique with fifteen treatments viz., Main plot belongs to Nutrient management (N) with treatments i.e. N1- Soil test based fertilizer recommendation (STBFR), N2 - 50% STBFR + FYM (Based on N requirement), N3-STBFR + Sulphur), while Subplots belongs to weed management (W) with treatments viz., W1- Pendimethalin (PE) @ 0.8 Lha-1, W2- Oxyflurofen (PE) @ 0.2 Lha-1, W3-Pendimethalin (PE) @ 0.8 Lha-1+ one hand weeding at 25 days after transplanting(DAT), W4-Oxyflurofen (PE) @ 0.2 Lha-1+ one hand weeding at 25 days after transplanting(DAT), W5- one hand weeding at 25 days after transplanting (DAT). The highest onion bulb yield of 16.72 t ha-1 was obtainedunder the treatment applied with Pendimethalin (PE) @ 0.8 Lha-1 along with one hand weeding at 25 DAT, followed by Oxyfluorfen 0.2Lha-1 pre-emergence + 1 hand weeding at 25 DAT (15. 88 t ha-1). The treatment combination of N2W3 (96.83, 16.80, 57.73 kg ha-1) was recorded the highest N, P, and Kuptake by crops respectively while N3W3 (51.39 kg ha-1 ) was recorded as the highest S uptake by a crop over the rest of the treatments.
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.
