However, market price fluctuations and extension approach changes inspired the farmers to opt for private agricultural extension systems. The decision to adopt or reject an innovation depends on the farmer's attitude toward the innovation. Thus, the present study was undertaken to assess the unidimensional nature of scale through the scalogram technique (Good enough technique) and to administer the scale in analyzing the farmer's attitude towards PAES. Based on the review of literature and discussion with experts, 7 favorable statements were selected to assess the farmer's attitude towards PAES. To check the coefficient of reproducibility of the developed scale, it was administered with 15 subjects and found to be 0.83, indicating the scale's reliability. Simultaneously, the developed scale was employed to assess the attitude of farmers towards PAES and found that more than half of the farmers (53.33%) had a favorable attitude. Most of the farmers suggested that continuous monitoring and regulation of PAES should be done to ensure proper functioning.","PeriodicalId":18154,"journal":{"name":"Madras Agricultural Journal","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87025254","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 crop's productivity is subject to diverse environmental stresses. The study's principal objective was to evaluate the underlying physiological distinctions among tolerant genotypes (GE-845, KMR-630) and susceptible genotypes (GE-1309, GE-5123) of finger millet. The studies focus on specific morphological, physiological, and biochemical traits contributing to drought tolerance at the heterotrophic and flowering stages, utilizing polyethylene glycol (PEG) and a phenotyping platform facility, respectively. Our findings highlight KMR-630 as the most drought-tolerant genotype, while GE-5123 exhibits pronounced drought susceptibility. Notably, the drought-tolerant KMR-630 genotype exhibits robust seedling vigour during the heterotrophic stage, maintains higher relative water content, increased total chlorophyll levels, mitigated membrane damage, and demonstrates enhanced finger length and above-ground dry matter compared to sensitive genotypes at the flowering stage. These insights offer valuable guidance for developing effective breeding strategies aimed at producing drought tolerant finger millet genotypes.","PeriodicalId":18154,"journal":{"name":"Madras Agricultural Journal","volume":"87 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":"135561680","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}

Several insect pollinators including honey bees, flies, beetles and butterflies were observed in the moringa ecosystem. The foraging behaviour of A. ceranaindica was increased during 0800 to 0900 h, followed by Amegilla zonata, and Episyrpussp. Working hours were high in A. ceranaindica followed by those of Amegilla zonata, Polistessp., A. dorsata, and Xylocopasp. In terms of handling time, A. ceranaindica spent more time, followed by A. dorsata, Amegilla zonata, and Xylocopasp., while Polistes sp. expended less time. The present study indicated that A. ceranaindica was the most abundant pollinator. Yield parameters viz., fruit length, fruit girth, individual fruit weight, and number of fruits per tree were maximum in bee pollinated than control. The colony growth parameters, viz., sealed honey area, pollen area, sealed brood area, and adult bee population, also developed in bee pollinated field.

An impact study seeks to understand how well a program or course, achieves its intended objectives and how it affects the participants, the institution, and the broader community. Sericulture, the art, and science of making silk, has played a significant role in human culture for many years as a source of luxury, wealth, and employment in rural areas. In response to this demand, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University is offering Sericulture certificate programmes in distance mode. It has arisen as a potential way to educate and enable people from every aspect of life, particularly those living in rural regions, to engage in this lucrative industry. Sericulture course was chosen among 41 certificate courses and responses were collected from the successfully completed learners. This paper attempts to explain the impact of the course concerning eight various dimensions that describes the level of impact attained by Sericulture certificate course among learners. As, the study investigates the impact obtained by past learners, the research design Ex post facto design was utilized to conduct the study. The sample for the study was successful learners who had completed their certificate course during the year of 2019 (55) and 2020 (32) as total 87 successful learners were taken for the study from various districts in Tamil Nadu. Chi square test revealed that there is significant association between Geographical distance (0.016), Job aspiration (0.057*), Experience in Sericulture (0.009), Attitude towards Entrepreneurship (0.007) and Motivation (0.056*) with Impact of Sericulture certificate course. The study shows that majority of the learners benefited by completing the Sericulture certificate course and it created good impact among learners.","PeriodicalId":18154,"journal":{"name":"Madras Agricultural Journal","volume":"86 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":"134980517","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}

Cold stratification for 30, 40 and 50 days at 5o C. Warm stratification for 30, 40 and 50 days at 40o C. The treated and control drupes were sown in sand filled earthen pots and placed in direct sunlight for assessing the germination. The experiment was conducted in a Completely Randomized Block Design with ten replications. Germination percentage, number of seedlings/100 drupes, time taken for initial emergence, root length, shoot length, dry matter production and vigour index were recorded 28 days after sowing. Acid scarification for 40 minutes, cold stratification at 50Â°C for 40 days, and warm stratification at 40Â°C for 40 days resulted in 23.7, 29.8, and 22.7 percent germination, respectively.

In the present study, fifty three barnyard millet genotypes including checks were characterized for morphological traits. The genotypes exhibited considerable variation for the phenotypic traits studied. Single plant yield recorded the highest coefficient of variation of 35.47 per cent, followed by lower raceme length (32.22%), and peduncle length (30.52%). The least coefficient of variation (CV) of 6.18 per cent was observed for plant height. PCA analysis revealed that the first four principal components contributed to a maximum of 70.98 per cent of the total variation among genotypes. Cluster analysis based on quantitative traits categorized the 53 barnyard millet accessions into four distinctive clusters. Cluster I and cluster II included high-yielding genotypes, while cluster III and cluster IV consisted of low-yielding genotypes. The genotypes viz., GECH758, GECH746, GECH27, CO(KV)2, MA1, GECH10 and TNEf192 were found to be superior in terms of yield attributing traits viz., single plant yield and thousand-grain weight.
