It is cultivated mainly in Assam, West Bengal covering the regions such as Darjeeling, Dooars, Terai, and Southern India in about 6.36 lakh hectares with a production of about 1338 million Kg made teas. Darjeeling tea is world-famous for its specific aroma and flavor whereas Assam is known for premier CTC teas. Among various challenges encounter on its bountiful production and desired quality, the occurrence of numerous diseases is one of the major factors. Different fungal and one algal genus are considered as the major phytopathogens to cause leaf, stem, and root diseases. Blight (blister, grey and brown), dieback, charcoal stem rot, root rot (brown, violet) and black rot are the major threat to tea sustainability. These diseases can be managed through the timely adoption of good agricultural practices (GAP). For the past couple of decades, owing to the increased awareness about the adverse effects of synthetic fungicides usage, people have been looking for ideal alternative strategies to take care of tea diseases in India under the organic production system. Microbes such as genus Trichoderma, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Actinomycetes etc. are capable of providing a protective umbrella to this crop against different diseases. This review article highlights the possible uses of different microorganisms in managing the diseases and it covers almost till date development in this field.","PeriodicalId":235329,"journal":{"name":"Innovare Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128272912","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}

Observations on different aspects were recorded and statistically analyzed to present results in tabular format.\u0000Results and Discussion: Out of 100 germplasm, seven were resistant and one was moderately resistant to potato apical leaf curl New Delhi virus, all the local genotypes were susceptible to disease. There was infestation of aphids, jassids, thrips, and whitefly irrespective of cultivars. Severe mosaic incidence ranged from 63.6 to 93.2%. The breeder seed was superior as it resulted in the highest seed tuber emergence (98.94%) and the least incidence of leafroll disease (0.80%) followed by seed tuber of seed plot technique (SPT). The conventional seed performed the poorest in terms of emergence and exhibited the highest disease incidence. Aphid appeared in the 47th meteorological week and it approached the ET level in the 52nd week. Whitefly population was the highest in the 47th week which continuously declined. Jassid population was very mild and thrips appeared in the 52nd week. Flonicamid 50 WG caused higher aphid mortality than imidacloprid after 24 h of spray. The maximum and minimum temperatures varied from 16.9 to 35.7 and 2.6 to 16.2° C, respectively. The morning and evening relative humidity was in the range of 82–100 and 24–75%, respectively.

Climate change, political unrest, and all sorts of crises within these nations and their neighboring nations have contributed greatly to the issue of food insecurity, malnutrition, and hunger. Many food plants that have the potential to combat the challenges of food insecurities and malnutrition in the face of climate change have been neglected, under-utilized and some of the crops are on their way to extinction. African yam bean (AYB) is one of the numerous crops with great potential in overcoming the problems associated with food and nutritional insecurities. AYB under-utilization, poor acceptance, and neglect by the farmers and consumers may be a result of poor awareness about its nutritional and health benefits, poor agronomy practices adopted by the farmers, and other production limiting factors such as low yield and long maturity period. Information that can guide the farmers and consumers for the commercial production and processing of AYB is not readily available.

Among the different variety used by the farmers, Kufri Jyoti was the most preferred variety. The main constraints in potato production were shortage of irrigational structure followed by low information on use of chemical fertilizer, lack of labor at the time of harvesting, insufficient quantity of manure, prevalence of middle man, high cost of transportation, and unavailability of improved seed. The mean difference between the farm gate price and market price of Siddicharan and Molung was 7.33 and 5.96, respectively, which were statistically significant at p<0.1. The overall average benefit cost ratio was found to be 1.23 in which Siddicharan and Molung had BC ratio of 1.55 and 0.99, respectively, which was significant at p<0.01 which indicated that farming in Molung was not profitable.

These relationships cannot be derived from the agronomic trials because the quantities of heavy metals applied to the soil in sludge are small. These are field sites have been treated with sludge for many years in operational practice and where the oncentrations of heavy metals have been significantly raised above background values, representing potentially a worse-case of soil contamination. The purpose of the study was to provide a surrogate for long-term sludge-treated agricultural soil by examining the effects on crops of heavy metals in soil irrigated with raw sewage effluent for periods of more than 80 years and containing significantly elevated concentrations of heavy metals. Methodology: Two surveys of the Gabal El Asfar Old Farm were undertaken to assess the long-term effects of heavy metals in sludge-treated soil on crop quality. In the first survey, the relationships between total and DTPA extractable heavy metals in soil and concentrations in citrus fruit were examined. Concentrations of heavy metals in leaves of citrus were measured in the second survey and related to total and DTPA extractable metals in soil.\u0000The heavy metal contents of citrus leaves and fruit (orange - eleven sampling sites; mandarin - four sampling sites), and total and DTPA extractable concentrations in soils were measured in samples collected from different areas of the Farm during two site surveys. Total and DTPA concentrations of heavy metals in the surveyed soils showed significant enrichment by long-term irrigation with sewage effluent. For example, the maximum total concentrations of Zn and Cu were 530 and 366 mg kg-1, respectively, representing a potential risk to crop yields The maximum Cd concentration detected was 9 mg kg-1 and may be a potential risk to the human food chain from uptake into staple crops grown at the farm. DTPA extractable metals were significantly (P<0.001) correlated with the total contents of Zn (r=0.91***), Cu (r=0.83***), Ni (r=0.63***) and Pb (r=0.85***) in soil when data from both surveys were pooled for statistical evaluation. There was also evidence of a weak relationship between DTPA extractable Cd and the total soil Cadmium is the only element of concern in terms of the risk to human health from uptake into food crops grown on sludge-treated soil. The total Cd concentration in soil was raised to a value 3 times the maximum EU limit for this element in sludge-treated agricultural soil.
