The queen bee is the mother of the colony, which rules over workers. As it is the source of all the hereditary characters, the colony can be improved by producing a goodquality queen. Even though biologically similar to A. mellifera, there were no ample studies on queen rearing in Indian bees than Italian bees. To unveil artificial queen rearing technique, queen cell cup size, type, and quality of the priming material were optimized based on acceptance and adult emergence. Queen cell cups of different sizes viz., 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, and 7 mm in diameter, were used. Among them, 7 mm diameter cup showed the highest larval acceptance (28.33%) and adult emergence (25%). Priming media viz., water priming, royal jelly priming, diluted royal jelly priming, honey priming, and honey + royal jelly priming were fed to the colonies. Among them, diluted royal jelly showed the highest acceptance with 29.2% and adult emergence of 27.1% followed by, royal jelly (16.7% and 12.5%), honey + royal jelly (10.4% and 6.5%), honey (8.3% and 4.2%), and water (2.1% and 2.1%) respectively. The queen cell cups were prepared artificially from plastic cups too. But they were not readily accepted by worker bees. Hence, it is important to standardize queen rearing methodology in A. cerana indica in order to multiply a large number of queens and supply superior-character queens to the beekeepers in India","PeriodicalId":18154,"journal":{"name":"Madras Agricultural Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135212029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment consisted of two factors with irrigation water and nutrients with three and four treatments respectively. The results of the experiment indicated that the application of sewage water along with recommended dose of farm yard manure and inorganic nutrients enhanced the growth attributes and yield of fodder cowpea. The leaf stem ratio was found higher with the application of sewage water and the application of farm yard manure and inorganic nutrients. The increase in yield of cowpea with higher nutrient content resulted in increased nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium uptake by fodder cowpea. The post harvest samples have shown that application of sewage water and nutrients to the soil had positively resulted in the uptake of nutrients by fodder cowpea. Application of sewage water along with the recommended dose of nutrients resulted in 22.3 percentage of yield compared to application of irrigation water and without nutrient application.","PeriodicalId":18154,"journal":{"name":"Madras Agricultural Journal","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86739454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on assessing the awareness, analyzing the consumption pattern and the factors influencing the consumption of millet products among college students in the YSR (Kadapa) district, Andhra Pradesh. The primary data for the study was gathered through structured interviews with 120 college students from four colleges in the study area. The respondents' demographic, economic, social, psychographic, and behavioral features were analyzed. The study revealed that most respondents (94.17 per cent) were aware of millet based products, and 80.83 per cent respondents were aware through word of mouth from family and friends. Products made with Ragi millet were the most consumed millet products. The health and nutritional benefits was the key factor influencing millet product consumption. The findings can assist businesses in effectively marketing their millet-based products.","PeriodicalId":18154,"journal":{"name":"Madras Agricultural Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135212058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treatments comprised of T1: control, T2: ZnSO4 at 25 kg ha-1 as soil application, T3: ZnSO4 at 37.5 kg ha-1 as soil application, T4: Foliar spray at 0.5% on 20 and 40 DAS, T5: Foliar spray at 1.0% on 20 and 40 DAS, T6: T2+T4, T7: T2+ T5, T8: T3+ T4, T9: T3+ T5. Growth parameters viz., plant population, leaf area index, days to first tasseling, days to first cob initiation and days to first harvest were significantly influenced by combined application of ZnSO4 to soil @ 37.5 kg ha-1 with foliar spray @ 1.0% on 20 DAS and 40 DAS. Dry matter production of babycorn was significantly higher in soil application of ZnSO4 @ 37.5 kg ha-1 with foliar spray at 0.5% on 20 and 40 DAS. Increased yield attributes such as number of cobs/plant, cob and corn length, cob and corn weight, cob and corn girth were observed higher with combined application of ZnSO4 @ 37.5 kg ha-1 to soil with foliar spray @ 0.5% at 20 and 40 DAS. Soil available nutrient status of NPK was not significantly influenced by Zn fertilization. However, higher availability of zinc nutrient after harvest of the crop was obtained with application of ZnSO4 @ 37.5 kg ha-1 in soil with foliar spray of 0.5% at 20 and 40 DAS.","PeriodicalId":18154,"journal":{"name":"Madras Agricultural Journal","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134883502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
