AB STRACT: In te gra tion of trees with crops adds a sig nif i cant el e ment of bi o log i cal di ver sity to
ag ro nomic sys tems and pro motes sus tain able, pro tec tive and pro duc tive land use. The bi o log i cal
in ter ac tions be tween the ma jor com po nents i.e., trees and crops are of pri mary im por tance and
in tro duce chal lenges and com plex i ties not pres ent in sole crop ping. Spe cif i cally, it must be
dem on strated that sat is fac tory growth and yields of both trees and crops can be achieved in the
microenvironment of the agro forest ry land-use sys tem that var ies con sid er ably with time. Com pared
to an open en vi ron ment, the mod i fied mi cro cli mate un der trees will have re duced so lar ra di a tion, a
low ered red: far-red light ra tio, a more mod er ate tem per a ture re gime, higher hu mid ity, lower rates
of evapo-tran spi ra tion and higher soil mois ture lev els. All of these fac tors will change as a func tion of
tree de vel op ment and tree man age ment prac tices. The spac ing ar range ment cho sen for trees will
also be a fac tor in de ter min ing how rap idly the changes come into play. Dur ing the es tab lish ment
phase, tree shade will be min i mal and have lit tle sig nif i cant ef fect on the understory com pan ion crops.
How ever, as the trees grow, the changes in the mi cro cli mate will be come more pro nounced, which
might strongly af fect the growth and com pat i bil ity of the understory com pan ion crop.

AB STRACT: Seed ger mi na tion is the re sump tion of ac tive growth of em bryo that re sults in the
emer gence of the young plant. Seeds of many fruit crops re main ungerminated even un der fa vour able
con di tions. Such kind of dor mancy in seeds may be due to pres ence of hard and im per me able seed
coat, ger mi na tion in hib i tors or due to im proper de vel op ment of em bryo. Such seeds may re quire
spe cial treat ments like scarification, soak ing in wa ter, growth reg u la tors etc. for over com ing
dor mancy. This re view sum ma rises the lat est de vel op ments in seed ger mi na tion in dif fer ent fruits

AB STRACT : In an ex per i ment con ducted on ashwagandha (Withania somnifera Dunal), to study the
re sponse of dif fer ent or ganic amend ments with or ganic ma nure (FYM) and bio-fer til iz ers in re la tion to

AB STRACT : Path anal y sis was per formed on plant and fruit char ac ters of fif teen to mato ge no types
grown in a two year field ex per i ment to de ter mine for fruit yield, the di rect and in di rect ef fects of the
fol low ing traits: plant height, no. of pri mary branches/plant, no. of fruits/plant, fruit weight (g), fruit
bear ing length, fruit length, fruit width and pericarp thick ness. Fruit yield per plant was pos i tively and
sig nif i cantly cor re lated with pericarp thick ness, fruit length, fruit weight and no. of fruits/plant, whereas,
fruit yield per plant had neg a tive and sig nif i cant as so ci a tion with days to 50% flow er ing, plant height,

AB STRACT: Guava cv. Ap ple col our is a com mer cial fruit crop for the grower in In dia but its self life is
poor and its waste causes many eco nomic prob lems. The aim of this study was to im prove the self life
of the fruit by the use of dif fer ent chem i cals com po si tion, Waxol per cent ages and pack ag ing ma te ri als.
There were ten post har vest treat mentsBavistin (0%), (0.1%) and (2%) and Wax (0%), (6%) and
(8%), and one stor age con di tion i.e (Room tem per a ture). Name of chem i cal use Their ef fects were
ac cessed by com plete ran dom ized de sign with three rep li ca tions. The treated fruits of guava were
stored at room tem per a ture. There was de crease in vi ta min C (mg) and acid ity dur ing stor age pe riod
of guava fruit un der room tem per a ture. The in crease in TSS and juice pH and phys i o log i cal loss in
weight of fruit was no ticed in stor age pe riod ir re spec tive of post har vest treat ment and room

(Waxol 6% + Bavistin 0.2%)
proved to be the best in terms of fruit qual ity and better shelf life at room tem per a ture.

AB STRACT: The pres ent ex per i ment en ti tled, Stud ies on the ef fect of ethrel on post har vest changes
in pa paya (Carica pa paya L.) fruits was car ried out to in ves ti gate the ef fect of ethrel on bio-chem i cal
changes oc curred dur ing its post har vest life. The ob jec tive of this work was to eval u ate the ef fects of
var i ous con cen tra tions of Ethrel (500 ppm, 750 ppm, 1000 ppm and 1500 ppm) on shelf life of pa paya
fruits when stored un der am bi ent con di tions. The treated fruits were as sessed for phys i o log i cal
changes such as per cent age of rip en ing, loss of fruit weight (kg), bio chem i cal as pects such as TSS
(Brix), titratable acid ity (%), to tal sug ars (%), re duc ing sugar (%), ascor bic acid con tent (mg/100g),
to tal ca rot en oids (mg/100g) along with organoleptic eval u a tion. The ob ser va tions were re corded at 3,
6 and 9 days af ter stor age and the ex per i ment was laid down us ing Com pletely Ran dom ized De sign.
From the ex per i ment it was clear that the over all per for mance of the above char ac ter is tics was found
the best when the fruits were treated with 1500 ppm ethrel fol lowed by 1000 ppm ethrel.

E-mail: ajaibssidhu@gmail.com
AB STRACT: The data re vealed that fruit yield of peach in creased with in creas ing ap pli ca tion of zinc
sul phate. The max i mum fruit size ( 5.0 cm length and 4.9 cm breadth), fruit weight (89.00g), fruit yield
per plant (58.25 kg) and yield per unit area (64.07 q/hect are) were ob served with 800 g ZnSO

per
plant as soil ap pli ca tion fol lowed by fo liar spray (0.5%) whereas min i mum yield was ob tained with out
zinc ap pli ca tion. Zinc ap pli ca tion also im proved to tal sol u ble sol ids (TSS) and TSS: acid ra tio.
How ever, acid ity of fruits ob tained from treated and un treated plants was not dif fer sig nif i cantly but the
high est acid con tent was ob served in con trol plants, whereas low est was in fo liar ap pli ca tion of 0.50 %
ZnSO

. Fruits were also more pal at able in Zinc ap plied plants. The high est con cen tra tion of zinc
(11.55 ppm) in leaves was ob served at higher doses of soil zinc ap pli ca tion and was in low est in
con trol plants.

clus ter bag ging. Higher fruit qual ity at trib utes were re corded with GA
3
(40 ppm) over other treat ments.

AB STRACT: Ge netic vari abil ity, heritability, ge netic ad vance and cor re la tion for dif fer ent yield
con trib ut ing char ac ters were stud ied in 20 ge no types of chilli. Sig nif i cant dif fer ences were ob served
among the ge no types for all the traits. The phenotypic co ef fi cient of vari a tion (PCV) was higher than
genotypic co ef fi cient of vari a tion (GCV) for all the traits. Traits like num ber of branches at 150 DAT,
days to flower anthesis, num ber of fruits per plant, av er age fruit weight, ascor bic acid, capsaicin
con tent and fruit length showed pos i tive cor re la tion with fruit yield per plant (g). While leaf curl
in ci dence showed neg a tive cor re la tion at genotypic level. Ge netic ad vance at 5% was found high for
plant height af ter 150 DAT, num ber of fruits per plant, ascor bic acid and fruit yield per plant (g).
Whereas, ge netic ad vance as per cent of mean at 5% was no ticed high for all the traits ex cept days to
