The Field experiment was conducted in a Randomized block Design (RBD) with three replications during Rabi, 2020-2021 at Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The genetically pure seeds of Mustard variety Pusa-21 were used for the study. The mustard seeds primed with botanicals and chemicals( Vermiwash, Panchagavya, Azatobactor, NaCl , KNO3, Neem leaf, Parthenium leaf and FYM) were subjected to study in field experiment of growth and yield parameters were recorded. Objectives of the topic are to evaluate the Influence of bio fertilizer and organic seed treatment on growth, yield and yield attributing traits of mustard crop and to find out the suitable pre-sowing seed treatment for mustard crop. Analysis of variance revealed significant mean sum of squares due to seed priming treatments. The highest germination percent (88.89),plant height (132.53 cm), number of branches(12.60 per plant), yield attributing parameters in mustard as number of silique per plant (292.87), number of seeds per silique (18.73), seed yield per plant (17.73 gm/plant), seed yield per plot (214.33 gm/ plot), biological yield per plot (443.15/ plot), seed yield per hectare (2143.33 kg/ ha), biological yield per hectare (5140 kg/ ha) and harvest index (41.69) showing better result when treated with treatment vermiwash 5 % for 12 hours. Remaining treatments i.e, treatment with panchgavya 5 % & 3 %, azotobactor 3 % & 2 %, NaCl 0.5 % & 0.1 %, KNO3 0.5 % & 0.1 %, neem leaf extract, parthenium leaf extract for and fym 2 % for 12 hours recorded the second most effective treatments and observed significantly superior. It concluded that T8 (vermiwash 5% solution) found superior in all the growth and yield parameters.
The experiment was conducted at Crop Research Farm unit (CRF) Sam Higginbottom University ofAgriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during 2020-2021. For this purpose, 13 priming treatmentsincluding control on chickpea var. king Ganesh seeds were subjected to treatment with various primers.The chickpea var. king Ganesh seeds were primed with above different priming agents in above differentconcentrations for a duration of 8 hours. After drying, the seeds were used to grow under field conditions.Experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications during rabi 2020-21. Analysis of variance revealed significant mean sum of squares due to seed priming treatments. Priming with T12 (Rhizobium) (10 g) was found significantly superior which affected all the growth and yield parameters inchickpea in comparison to control and other treatments. Thus, seed priming with T12 (Rhizobium) (10g) is useful for improving yield in chickpea.
Water plays a crucial role in sustaining human life but the ramifications of urbanization and industrialization result in the contamination of water sources, rendering them unsuitable for drinking and agricultural purpose. Ponds are classified as lentic water bodies, which get adversely affected by anthropogenic activities. The current investigation endeavours to assess the physico-chemical properties of the water of Mahil pond, a freshwater pond situated in the middle of the city (Orai). The present work was conducted over the period of 12 months, specifically from January 2022 to December 2022. Monthly data have been gathered and subsequently organized by season, accompanied by its specific standard deviation. The study encompassed various parameters, including water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Total alkalinity, Total Hardness, Nitrate-Nitrogen, and Phosphate. The findings of the current investigation revealed that the alkalinity level of the pond water exceeds the acceptable threshold established by the World Health Organisation. However, some of measured variables fall within the permissible range but many of them fall beyond the permissible limit. It is evident from the present study that, the water present in the Mahil pond is located at a position that falls slightly below the pollution threshold, rendering it unsuitable for both drinking purposes and the sustenance of resident organisms. Enhancing the quality of pond water can be achieved through the mitigation of anthropogenic activities and the prompt implementation of municipal treatment.
The field experiment was conducted during Kharif season in the year 2021- 2022 at post graduate Crop research farm, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, in order to study the different Pre-sowing seed treatments of selected Organics and Botanicals on growth, Seed yield and yield attributing traits of Maize (Zea mays L.) Var. VNR-4226 The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 13 treatments and 3 replications. In order to standardization method of seed treatment to specific maize crop and they were evaluated by screening a range of duration and concentration Viz T0- Control, T1 - Panchagavya 5% (12Hrs), T2 - Panchagavya 10% (12Hrs), T3 - Panchagavya 15% (12Hrs), T4 - Moringa Leaf Extract 5% (12Hrs), T5 - Moringa Leaf Extract 10% (12Hrs), T6 - Moringa Leaf Extract 15% (12Hrs), T7 - Vermiwash 5% (12Hrs), T8 - Vermiwash 10% (12Hrs), T9 – vermiwash 15% (12Hrs), T10 – Moringa leaf extract 5% (12Hrs), T11 - Moringa leaf extract 10% (12Hrs), T12 - Moringa leaf extract 15% (12Hrs). To find out effect of different seed treatment on growth, yield and seed quality parameters of maize showed that significant treatment for Rate of Field emergence, Plant height (30,60,90 DAS), Number of leaves (30,60,90), Days to 50% Tasselling, days to 50% Silking, days to 50% Maturity, Number of cobs in a plant, cob length, cob grith, Number of rows in a cob, Number of Kernels in a row, Total number of kernels in a cob, seed yield per plot, Biological yield, Stover yield, Harvesting Index and economics were significantly recorded highest in T12 (Neem leaf extract 15% for 12 hours) followed by T2- Panchagravya (10%) whereas minimum was observed in T0 (control).
