“…Vermicompost has high microbial activity due to the presence of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes that can product plant growth regulators (PGRs) such as auxin, gibberellins, cytokinins and abscisic acid (Frankenberger et al, 1995). These results agreed with reports by other researchers who reported that co-application of organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers improved crop production (Blaise et al, 2005;Hassanzadeh et al, 2011). For a given mean within each column of each section, the same letters are not significantly different (p ≤ 0.05).…”

“…It has been shown that organic products of vegetables and fruits have nearly 20% more of phytochemicals with anticancer properties [Dahama 2007, Rai et al 2013. They have also better accepted flavor compared to conventional products [Anwar et al 2005, Bahadur et al 2009, Blaise et al 2005, Michael et al 2010. The highest vitamin C in cabbage, tomato and spinach was observed in application of vermicompost, or integration of manure and chemical fertilizers [Rai et al 2013, Zaller 2007, Citak and Sonmez 2010.…”

Safe production of leafy vegetables is more important than other horticultural crops due to their significant contribution in health promotion of consumers. In present study, the growth and nutritional quality of sweet basil plants (Ocimum basilicum L.) were evaluated under some organic compared to chemical NPK fertilizing treatments. A non cultivated soil was used in the experiment, and treatments were arranged in completely randomized design with four replications. Manure in 20 and 40% of pot volume, vermicompost in 20 and 40% of pot volume, biophosphate, NPK fertilizer and a no fertilizing control were applied to plants. The results showed that plant growth and biochemical characteristics were differently affected by organic and chemical fertilization treatments. Vermicompost particularly in 20% of pot volume resulted in highest growth and quality parameters, while the lowest values recorded in 40% manure treatment. The leaf content of ascorbic acid, essential oil, protein and minerals (P, K, Mn, Cu) were highest in 20% vermicompost, whereas leaf content of Mg, Fe and Zn was highest in 40% vermicompost treatment. Leaf nitrate content was significantly reduced in all organic treatments than NPK fertilization. Biophosphate also improved the yield and quality traits compared to unfertilized plants, while manure in both quantities reduced most of the traits (leaf vitamin C, oil yield and protein content) except the content of phenols. This indicates that processing as vermicompost can be a better way of manure application for basil production.

Past, Present and Future Trends in Cotton Breeding

The genus Gossypium provides natural fiber for textile industry worldwide. Genetic improvement in cotton for traits of interest is not up to mark due to scarcity of adequate information about fiber production and quality. Use of DNA markers for overcoming the issues of selection associated with complex traits is the ultimate choice which may lead to initiate breeding by design. Numerous marker-trait associations have been identified for economical traits using linkage analysis in cotton. Currently there is need for developing high-density genetic maps using next-generation sequencing approaches together with genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Efforts have been started in this direction and several QTLs including fiber quality, yield traits, plant architecture, stomatal conductance and verticillium wilt resistance were identified. This chapter narrates genetic diversity, QTL mapping, association mapping and QTLs related to fiber quality traits. The incorporation of various genomic approaches and previously described marker strategies will pave the way for increase in fiber production.
