AB STRACT: Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is, among the old est crops in the world, at tacked by a
wide range of patho gens al though each of these dis eases is quite de struc tive, when two or more
in ter act on the same plant, their com bined ef fect be comes greater. Good ag ro nomic prac tices
are in gen eral non mon e tary in ter ven tions, dis cussed here un der suit able heads, which can be
eas ily adopted by the farm ers to man age faba bean dis ease smartly. It is an ef fi cient and
ex cel lent tool for ef fec tive dis ease-pest man age ment in gen eral and es pe cially for soil borne
patho gens and diseases like chocolate spot,ascochyta blight and rot etc.

AB STRACT:In dia is blessed with var ied cli ma tic con di tions and is thus the home of var i ous
types of fruits. But most of the fruits are highly per ish able and show a great de cline in qual ity as
well as stor age life soon af ter har vest. This de cline is fur ther ag gra vated if har vest ing is not done
at the right time and by the cor rect method. More over po si tion of bear ing also plays a key role in
the qual ity of fruit. Fruit po si tion on tree is found to in flu ence the fruit size, ma tu rity, skin col our,
flesh col our, min eral com po si tion, TSS, acid ity and fruit yield. Har vest ing fruits with and with out
pedicel in ad di tion to af fect ing the stor age life of fruits, also af fects sugar con tent, acid ity, fruit
firm ness and col our re ten tion. This re view sum ma rises ef fects of po si tions of bear ing and
meth ods of har vest ing on the over all qual ity of fruits.

AB STRACT: The ex per i ment was con ducted at NRC for Grapes, Pune dur ing year
2007-08.Four com mer cially cul ti vated grape va ri et ies viz. Thomp son Seed less, Tas-A-Ganesh,
Flame Seed less and Sharad Seed less were an a lyzed for dry mat ter con tent dur ing har vest ing
stage of the crop. Dry mat ter par ti tion ing in dif fer ent parts of vines were ob served. Highly
sig nif i cant dif fer ences were ob served among va ri et ies, var i ous vine parts and their
com bi na tions. Among the va ri et ies, max i mum dry mat ter con tent was re corded in Sharad
Seed less (42.87%) fol lowed by Tas-A-Ganesh (42.29%) and among the var i ous parts of the
vine, it was found max i mum in cor don (54.84%) fol lowed by trunk (54.39%). When dry mat ter
con tent was mea sured in par tic u lar va ri ety in spe cific part of the vine, max i mum dry mat ter was
re corded in the trunk of Sharad Seed less va ri ety. Roots are the source of nu tri ent ab sorp tion by
the vine. Root health found to be pos i tively cor re lated with the health of the plant and
pro duc tiv ity. In the pres ent ex per i ment, high est dry mat ter con tent of the roots was ob served in
the Sharad Seed less with the mean value of 47.72%. Also the dry mat ter con tent of the
harvestable or gan (bunches) was found max i mum in Sharad Seed less (25.73%) as com pared to
other va ri ety.

(AB STRACTS)
Se lec tion-1. All the intercropping sys tems showed sig nif i cant en hance ment in the height of the
tree vary ing from 1.25 to 3.40 over the sole tree. Among the dif fer ent intercrops, better growth of
the guava tree was ob served where mother rhi zome tur meric was grown as intercrop fol lowed by
pri mary, sec ond ary and ter tiary fin gers treat ments. Plant height and num ber of till ers per plant
were en hanced in mother rhi zome of tur meric (96.68 cm and 4.03, re spec tively) un der shade of
guava plant which re sults max i mum sur vival per cent age (98.45%) and its growth and
per for mance was better than other plant ing ma te ri als. The high est num ber of fin gers per plant
(13.64), fin ger length (9.06), fin ger weight (36.14) and yield (389.47g/plant and 235.41q/ha) were
re corded when tur meric were grown un der ju ve nile guava tree which was sig nif i cantly higher
than all other plant ing ma te ri als. All the tur meric plant ing ma te ri als grown un der shade of ju ve nile
guava or chards were found most de sir able in terms of veg e ta tive growth, yield, gross re turn, net

AB STRACT: The ex per i ment on op ti mi za tion of plant den sity in side a green house for grow ing
car na tion is a very im por tant area for pres ent day pro duc tion and pro duc tiv ity. The re sults of the
study on op ti mi za tion of plant ing den sity in car na tion led to the in fer ence that plant ing den sity in
treat ment T
4
(check) (15 X 15 cm with 36 plants/m
2
) proved better in terms of flower qual ity
pa ram e ters namely early flower bud ap pear ance, bud open ing, lon gest du ra tion of flow er ing,
chlo ro phyll con tent and more num ber of flow ers per plant due to con ge nial mi cro cli mate be tween
the plants for the plant growth and flow er ing. Though the per cent age of A grade qual ity flow ers
were higher in treat ment T
3
(20 X 20 cm with 20 plants per m
2
), the num ber of plants and flower
yield per sq. m. in this treat ment was very less. Hence, treat ment T
4
(check) with 15 X 15 cm
spac ing may con vinc ingly be fol lowed for ob tain ing more num ber of flow ers per plant and per
unit area and value in terms of eco nomic suc cess of the crop.

worth. La bour avail abil ity get ting prob lem atic day by day, op tion of weed con trol rests with the
view of weedi cide with such an idea an ex per i ment was con ducted with a view to as sess the
ef fi cacy of weedi cide in coun ter ing weed growth in newly grown man da rin or chard. The or chard
was hav ing heavy in fes ta tion of Echinocola cholena, Celosia sp, Cassia tora, Comelina
communis, C. benghalensis, Abelmoschus muschatus, Euphorbia xeniculata, Par then ium
