Venkatesh and S. K. Dhyani Abstract Ťhe study was conducted to determine the allelopathic effect of Eucalyptus tereticornis clone 3 on urd (Vigna mungo L. Hepper) crop. Leaf extracts of Eucalyptus tereticornis clone 3 were used to run the experiment under laboratory condition. The aqueous extracts of leaf showed significant inhibitory effect on germination, root and shoot elongation of urd plants. The inhibitory effect was proportional to the concentrations of the extracts and the higher concentration (15%) had the strongest inhibitory effect. In plant part Leaf extract was more inhibitory effect compared to twig and root extract. From the obtained results, it can be concluded that, eucalyptus seem to be a potential threat to the pulses industry under small-scale farming condition. Therefore, it could be recommend that different remedial practices (like removal of excess leaf litters, planting after the rains) should be done before sowing pulses, in land previously planted with Eucalyptus in order to reduce the potential risks.

Pathak, Debananda Roy, R.B. Jadeja, Abhishek Gupta, Sumanta Das Abstract ßiodiversity destructive economic activities are inefficient not merely because of the resulting resource misallocation but also because of the excessive scale of activity levels-exploitation, in relation to the limited availability of natural capital when the latter is complementary to human made capital. Efforts for conservation and management of our natural resources must derive from a set of clear objectives, mechanisms for action and commitment from all stakeholders through scientific research. The term development has both positive as well as negative impact on nature / environment. Whereas, the development brings about the awareness of conservation among people, it also leads to disturbance to the biodiversity. Therefore, the magnitude of environmental pollution should not be allowed to go out of proportion. This paper describes the role of forest resources as source for biodiversity conservation like controlling soil erosion, water conservation, land rehabilitation and carbon sequestration.

Walp) VARIETIES UNDER DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SPACING LATA D. SARASWAT , A. KUMAR, N. J. VEHOL, G. T. SADERIA and H.C. PATEL Abstract À field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of the year 2004 to study the performance of cowpea varieties under different levels of spacing. Six treatment combinations consisting of three levels of varieties viz., V1 - Pusa Phalguni, V2 - Gujarat Cowpea-3 and V3 - Gujarat Cowpea-4 and two levels of spacings. The growth and yield attributes of different varieties of cowpea were significantly influenced due to different levels of spacings except days to first and complete seedling emergence and treatment V2 (GC-3) recorded significantly higher plant geometry, yield or yield attribute. The highest value of net C.B.R. (1:3.99) and net realization (`47197 ha-1) was observed under treatment V2 (GC-3), followed by V3 (GC-4) with net crop benefit ratio (CBR) of 1:3.26 and net realization of `40872 ha-1, narrow spacing, wider spacing resulted in the maximum growth and yield attributes, but the overall green pod yield net plot-1 and hectare-1 was found maximum under S2 spacing level. Maximum plant height, number of branches plant-1, minimum days to first flower emergence and 50 percent flowering, maximum pod length, number of seeds pod-1, 100 seeds weight and green pod yield plant-1 was recorded significantly the highest in wider spacing. But the maximum green pod yield net plot-1 (10.29 kg) and hectare-1 (12240 kg ha-1) was found in narrow spacing. For securing higher green pod yield (12810 kg ha-1), higher net realization (`49099 ha-1) and higher net CBR (1:3.28) under middle Gujarat condition, it is advisable to grow cowpea variety GC-3 (Gujarat Cowpea-3) with narrow spacing of 30 cm x 10 cm.

Pandey Abstract The evaluation of weed evapotranspiration, energy from infrared temperature and LATAMOS data used to calculate as the residual component of the surface energy balance. This method has given good results over a full weed canopy cover with unstressed transpiration, in spite of the not well understood meaning of the aerodynamic resistance needed. A simple and more accurate method, which determines the Bowen ratio and latent heat flux over a reference weed cover area without knowledge of surface resistances, proposed and proportionality between b and a radiative Bowen ratio βs is compute, Bowen ratio derived from surface, air temperatures and vapor pressure. The estimation of latent heat flux from temperatures, vapor pressure, and solar radiation measurements at first level one meter height from micrometeorological tower of 32 meter height. The new method gives an estimated error of around 3 to 10 % in front of the residual one, where wind speed has to be known over the defined height, the aerodynamic resistance to heat transfer over a weed canopy surface through micrometeorological tower and surface observatory data (IR thermometer). Diurnal variations of aerodynamic resistance have been analyzed with the using the micrometeorological tower data (optical weather sensor for temperature at one meter height, soil surface temperature, total incoming short wave radiation (SWI) and net radiation for the surface (Rnt).

Similarly, growth and yield attributing parameters like weight of mature and immature pod per plant, number of mature and immature pods per plant, plant height and number of branches per plant were also not differed due to date of sowing. The differences in pod yield and shelling percentage, mature pod weight per plant were found significant due to varieties. The irrigation treatment exerted non significant effect. It might be due to well distributed rainfall received during the crop season.

S. Kureel, Bhagwan Singh, H. P. Tripathi, Ghanshyam Singh, Suresh Kumar and Arvind Kumar Abstract The study was conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) during rabi season of 2008-09 to evaluate the nitrogen doses and nitrogen scheduling for better growth, yield, quality of wheat. The treatments were laid out in randomized block design with 4 replications on silt loam having low organic (0.30%), nitrogen (203), medium in phosphorus (15.25) and (265) kg ha-1 . All the growth and yield attributes increased significantly with increasing nitrogen doses up to 150 kgha-1. Application of every dose of nitrogen showed significant superiority over 100 N kgha-1 and control. Grain as well as straw yield increased with increase in nitrogen dose recording maximum yields of 36.13 qha-1 and 54.89 qha-1 of grain and straw yield with 150 kgha-1, respectively. The growth character like plant height was significantly maximum under ¼ basal + 45 % at Ist irrigation + ¼ at flowering + 5 % at milk stage foliar being at par with T5 , T4 and T3 and nitrogen scheduling were significantly superior over T1 and T2. The nitrogen scheduling had significant effect on nutrient uptake by nutrient uptake 119.31 kg N, 22.23 kg P and 105 kg Kha-1 crop recording significantly higher 119.31 kgNha-1 under ¼ basal + 45 % at Ist irrigation + ¼ at flowering + 5 % at milk stage foliar being at par with T5 and T4 and significantly higher than rest of treatments. The yield components like effective tillers m-1 row length, spike length (cm) number of grain spike-1 , grain and straw yield of wheat qha-1 and NPK uptake by crop were maximum under T6 and at par with T5 , T4 were significantly over T3, T2 and T1.

Sandeep Bajpai and Madhu Tripathi Abstract Nature gives life to everything by means of water. Natural water sources are often contaminated by partially treated or untreated wastes of industrial and agricultural origin containing various hazardous pollutants. Among them, fluoride (F-) has been emerged as one of the major pollutant. It is a persistent bioaccumulator that accumulates in the visceral organs of animals including fish. Elevated level of fluoride has been reported to disturb the metabolic activity that is interlinked with the structural integrity of cells and tissues and alters normal biochemical profile of the exposed organisms. In view of this, the present study has been designed to investigate the effect of fluoride on different biochemical constituents such as protein, lipid, glycogen and cholesterol in gills of Heteropneustes fossilis, a popular edible freshwater catfish of India. The fish were divided into three groups having 15 fish in each. Group I (without any treatment) maintained in dechlorinated tap water served as control, whereas group II and III were exposed to 35 mgF/L and 70 mgF/L respectively. After 60 days of exposure, the levels of biochemical constituents in gill tissue were analyzed following standard protocols. Exposure of fish to different sub-lethal concentrations revealed ‘concentration dependent’ depletion in the biochemical constituents of gills in comparison to control. The possible reasons for depletion of biochemical contents after fluoride exposure have also been discussed.

Swami, Amrita Singh, Ashok Kumar and Tabrez Ahmad Abstract Špices are commonly used in food for flavor; fragrance and color. Some commonly used spices in Indian kitchen were evaluated for repellency, contact and fumigant toxicity, and population suppressant activities against two stored grain insects, Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae. The spices were used either singly or in combinations. Powders of Foeniculum vulgare fruit, Coriandrum sativum fruit and leaf showed toxicity against test insects with LD50 values ranging from 17.8-20.0g/100g food in contact assay. In the space trial the leaf powder of Laurus nobilis was found to have fumigant toxicity towards adults of Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae with LC50 values of 9.81 and 16.7g/lit respectively. The repellency assay revealed 100.0% repulsion towards adults of Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae by fruit powder of Cuminum cyminum. Similarly powder of F. vulgare, P. nigrum and C. cyminum resulted into complete inhibition of progeny production against Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae. The binary mixture of L. nobilis and C. sativum showed both contact and fumigant toxicity. Similarly binary mixtures of C. cyminum and F. vulgare showed both repellent and progeny development inhibition against Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae.

Abstract The impact of projected climate change on wheat (cv. GW-496 and GW-322) yield have been studied for Anand station of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic region using PRECIS output of A2 and base line data. Yield simulation study was performed by InfoCrop model. The field experiment data on wheat cv. GW-496 and GW-322 during the year 2005-2007 and 2006 to 2009 respectively have been used to calibrate and validate the model. The weather condition as projected by A2 scenario (2070-2100) showed that there will be 13.7 % higher rainfall as compared to base line (1960-90). The mean maximum and minimum temperature will be higher to the tune of 5.1 and 3.6 0C as compared to their base temperature of 29.8 and 19.1 0C. The variations in wheat yield of both the cultivars showed that overall highest yield was observed in late sown condition (30th Nov.) and lowest in early sown (1st Nov.). Overall D3 higher biomass and LAI were observed in late sowing (D3) as compared to rest of the sowing. Higher days of anthesis were recorded in early (1st Nov.) sowing. Nearly 38 and 43 % yield reduction was noted in GW-496 and GW-322 as compared to their base yield during projected period. The maximum temperature during February which coinciding with the flowering and milking stage of late sowing of GW-496 and jointing and flowering stage of very late sowing of GW-322 varieties was negatively associated with the yield. The late sowing (30th Nov.) of both the cultivars showed positive gain in yield as compared to very early(1st Nov.) and early sowing (15th Nov.). Higher yield gain was observed by cv. GW-322 as compared to cv. GW-496.

The success or failure of rice crops both in rainfed and irrigated agriculture is closely related with the rainfall pattern hence analysis of rainfall and its close linkage with productivity will provide basis for crop planning and management also for enhancing and sustaining the rice productivity in rainfed area specially where flood and drought are frequent. Influences of different weather on yield of wheat in different agro-climatic regions have been studied by Morey and Sadaphal (1981). Similar study of rice yield analysis during Kharif season with special reference to rainfall was made by Rao and Rajput (1986 ). The state of U. P. accounted for 5.92 billion hectare under paddy crop with annual productivity of 21.76q/ha whereas, in Eastern U. P. it stood at 20.46 q/ha (Singh & Yadav, 2000).Keeping in view, similar analysis has been made on rice productivity of Eastern U. P. and to identify the climatic constraints limiting the productivity of rice in the region.

Pandey, Arvind Kumar and Padmakar Tripathi Abstract Manral (1983) represented the results of a study on the association between the significant 24 hours changes of maximum and minimum temperature over airport during the five year period (1972-76). Abraham (1965) has applied the Fisher’s method to see the joint relationship of crop yield and weather variable (rainfall and temperature). Normal, Lognormal and Pearson’s type distribution were studied for each year separately for weather variable maximum & minimum temperature. We found that Normal Distribution fitted only in case of maximum temperature for the year 1990 & 1993. Pearson’s type I distribution fitted in all the years for weather variable maximum & minimum temperature except in few of cases. Pearson’s type IV for years 1992 in case of maximum temperature, 1994 in minimum temperature. Pearson’s type II distribution fitted for the year 1994 in case of maximum temperature and for all the years for minimum temperature. For forecasting of wheat yield were used three models as linear, nonlinear (Cobb-Douglas), square root with and without coefficient ‘c’ and the square root without coefficient ‘c’ model selected as the best.

[L] Merrill) UNDER DIFFERENT DATE OF SOWING AND FOUR LEVELS OF SPACING Anil Kumar and V. Pande Abstract Soybean (Glycine max. [L] Mirrll.) Field experiments conducted during Kharif in year 2004 at Anand (22035`N, 720 55`E, 45.1 m above mean sea level) of Soybean variety G.S-2, with three date of sowing (D , D 1 2and D ) and four levels of spacing (S , S , S and S ) with four replication, seed yields were affected 3 1 2 3 4 significantly by different dates of sowing, and also different inter and intra spacing of the soybean crop in the varying cultural practices and agronomical management. The differences for significance were tested at 5 percent level of significant data analysis revealed that the seed yield of soybean was significantly influenced by the sowing dates (S S S and S ) and plant population. The treatment S having lower plant 1, 2, 3 4 3 population (33.3 plant m-2) produced significantly higher seed yield than that of treatment S having 2 higher plant population (44.4 plant m-2) might be due to the fact that it is not only the plant population but also the plant geometry, which determines the growth and yield of the crop. Among the sowing dates treatments, treatment D (timely sown on 16-6-2004) produced significantly highest yield (1817 kg ha-1) 1 however, it was at par with treatment D (1784.7 kg ha-1). The seed yield of soybean was found to decrease 2 with delay in sowing. The late sown crop (D recorded reduction in yield by over time-sown crop 3)(treatment D ) interaction effect of dates of sowing and spacing on seed yield revealed that the timely 1 sown crop with high plant population (D S ), that combination are sown on 16th June with spacing 1 4 (30×5cm) had produced significantly highest yield over all the treatment combination except D S which 1 4,was at par with D S . Spacing did not have significant influence on the test weight of soybean and 1 1 harvesting index were influenced by both the treatment i.e. either date of sowing and four levels of spacing of soybean, The plant population or spacing had also significant influence on the Stover yield of soybean, highest Stover yield (5678.7 kg ha-1) was recorded with treatment S (having maximum plant 4 population), which was at par with treatment S . However, these two treatments were significantly 3 superior over the first two treatments viz., S and S .

P. Kaushal and Sunil Kumar Abstract Scientific survey sampling as reported by Neyman (1934) classic work and subsequent development [Hansen et al. (1963); Mahalanobis (1946), Hartley and Rao (1968), Parihar and Srivastava (2003) and Rao (1962)] provides the remarkable ability to obtain useful inferences about large populations from modest samples with measurable uncertainty for estimating proportion, mean and totals. Ratio estimate of population total can be obtained by separate ratio estimator and combined ratio estimator as given by Hansen et al. (1946). Vikas et al. (2006) highlighted with the use of information technology in the linkages of agricultural sectors such as natural resource management, infrastructure development and agriculture marketing can be developed for economic development of the poor and marginal Indian farmers and societal development. The use of information technology for development of agriculture, a core sector of Indian economy is yet in an infant stage and the growth of this baby is very slow. In view of 73th and 74th amendment of constitution in 1992 pertainingto the panchayat and municipality respectively the demand for the estimate at small cluster of villages/ blocks is all the more important. In view of these considerations villages Raincha and Soranav falling in Baldirai block of Musafirkhana tehsil in district Sultanpur have been selected. Comparison of villages Raincha and Soranav on pattern of the Scores/Index developed by Parihar et. al., (2004). The methodology adopted is simple in application and appears to be a good benchmark.
