The grape varieties cultivated in this village are Manik Chaman, Ganesh and Sonaka which are dried for raisins. Results revealed that the space between the rows in the vineyard is 9ft and space between the plants is 5.6 ft with 4.9 ft height of the plants. In this region, normally pruning is done by women workers with bare hands by working for long hours in strenuous, awkward and repetitive postures with over stretching the upper body.","PeriodicalId":249001,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115279297","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 data was recorded on plant height (cm), number of tillers, number of leaves, leaf area (cm2), dry matter (%), herb yield (t/ha), essential oil content (%), essential oil composition (%), N, P and K of soil (Kg/ha) and N, P and K of plant (%) for two crops. \u0000From the study the results enunciated that among the treatments, T7 (FA 6 t/ha + VC 4t /ha) recorded significantly maximum plant height (154.6 cm and 123.7 cm), number of tillers (42 and 54), number of leaves (142 and 182 ), leaf area (207.4 cm2 and 159.4cm2 ), dry matter ( 31.5 % and 27.8 %), herb yield (17.8 t/ha and 13.7 t/ha) at 90 and 180 days, respectively. Non significant differences were observed for essential oil content and composition. Soil N, P, K values recorded highest in T1. N has gradually decreased from T1 to T11 while K has increased from T1 to T11. Highest plant N (2.46 % and 2.07 %), P (0.38% and 0.33 %) and K (3.4 % and 3.52 %) were recorded at 90 and 180 days, respectively in T7.

These fibers, being environmentally friendly, do not pose the toxic and waste disposal problems that are associated with some of the synthetic and mineral fibers. Because of these performance properties, eco-friendly fibers can be incorporated as a whole or part of materials and products of various forms for a wide range of applications. One such eco-friendly fibre is the sisal fibre, which has high potential as a textile fibre. Softening treatment was carried out on sisal fibre, in order to impart the smooth feel, lusture and handle of the fibre. Three Popular varieties of sisal in Andhra Pradesh were considered for the study, extracted fibre and enzyme treatment was given with four concentrations.

Being grown in narrow temperature range, a slight increase in the temperature will drastically reduce the yield of rice. Studies have been conducted on the influence of high temperature on reproductive phase and seed yield of rice. Storability due to difference in temperature of production area is less explored. Hence, the present investigation was carried out by harvesting five rice varieties viz., MDU 5, ASD 16, CO 51, Anna (R) 4 and ADT 43 from two temperature regimes-high (summer, 2016) and normal (rabi, 2016) and by subjecting the seeds to accelerated ageing. There was significant influence of temperature on germination and seedling vigour. The physiological quality parameters along with the enzyme activities were reduced rapidly, with the advance in ageing period. The rate of deterioration was more in seeds obtained from higher temperature regime.","PeriodicalId":249001,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121115512","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}
