For all of the traits, the analysis of variance revealed a significant difference between genotypes, indicating a high degree of variability. For all of the characters, the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) was lower than the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV). Most of the traits between GCV and PCV had the smallest differences, indicating a lower predominance of environment in the expression of these characters. As a result, breeders could undertake direct selection based on phenotypic values of the traits. Seed yield plant-1, number of clusters plant-1 and number of pods plant-1 all had high genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation. Protein content followed by days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, seed yield plant-1, number of pods plant-1, plant height, number of clusters plant-1, 1000 seed weight, number of primary branches plant-1 and pod length all had high estimations of heredity in the broad sense. Number of pods plant-1 had the maximum heritability (broad) coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean followed by number of clusters plant-1, days to maturity, plant height and days to 50% flowering. As a result, these characters are mostly controlled by additive gene action, and hence characters can be improved through selection.","PeriodicalId":418512,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture Research and Technology","volume":"135 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":"130481992","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}

To meet out the food requirement of the increase of population is a challenging task with frequent changes in climatic conditions and limited resources. Smart farming have emerged as an innovative tool to address current challenges in agricultural sustainability. The mechanism that drives this cutting edge technology is machine learning (ML). It gives the machine has the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Machine Learning together with IoT (Internet of Things) enabled farm machinery are key components of the next agriculture revolution. Machine Learning applications in the field of agriculture are explained in this article. The areas that are focused are prediction of soil parameters such as moisture content, crop yield prediction, disease and weed detection in crops, Identify water stress in plant, Crop mapping , Crop selection prediction , Ground water level prediction: Groundwater is the largest storage of freshwater resources, which serves as the and species detection. Intelligent irrigation which includes drip irrigation and intelligent harvesting techniques are also discussed to reduces human labour to a great extent.

The objective of this study was to develop anthocyanin-rich biscuits using purple wheat (100%) and compare their physical and nutritional content with commonly consumed wheat (100%) biscuits. Biscuits were analyzed for thickness, width and spread ratio. 9-point hedonic scale was used for analysis of organoleptic acceptability. Biscuits were analyzed for nutritional parameters i.e., proximate composition, sugars, total and available (in vitro) calcium, iron and zinc, in vitro digestibility of protein and starch, phytic acid, total lysine, DPPH radical scavenging activity, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total anthocyanin content (TAC). T-test was used to compare the differences between regular wheat and purple wheat. Results of thickness, width and spread ratio of purple wheat prepared biscuits was 0.81 cm, 3.04 cm and 3.75 (W T-1) respectively. Biscuits prepared with purple wheat depicted significantly higher (P<0.05) protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrates and mineral content than regular wheat. Total lysine, in-vitro digestibility of protein and starch were also observed higher in purple wheat biscuits i.e., 4.24 g 16-1 g N, 82.57% and 42.98% respectively.

The addition of coco coir to peat or peat alone enhanced plant height, leaf area, stem length, and fresh and dry weight of the stem. Plant height and stem length were considerably greater in coco coir-based substrates (P-0.0001 and P-0.0001, respectively).

Being a rainy season, long duration, wide spaced and slow growing crop at initial stage, it is highly sensitive to weed competition. The critical period of crop-weed competition is 15 to 60 days after sowing and during this period the crop suffers from heavy losses in seed cotton yield. Weeds are the major constraints that reduce the crop yields since they compete for the nutrients, moisture, light and space. The losses caused by weeds in cotton ranges from 50 to 85 percent depending upon the nature and intensity of weeds in the field. The most common practices adopted by the farmers are manual weeding and inter-culture operation. But during critical period of crop-weed competition, the non-availability of labour, high wages of labour and wet field conditions, leads to ambiguous conditions for cotton growers. Due to delay in inter-culture operations in the crop, ineffectual results produced are clearly reflected in final yield. Thus, timely management of weeds through physical, mechanical, biological and chemical means needs to be ensured for achieving the higher cotton productivity. Physical and mechanical methods are widely used but in case of biological weed control, limited options are available. Chemical weed management is the better choice of the farmer being economical, quick responsive and suitable to the prevailing conditions. Chemical weed control in cotton by using suitable pre and post emergence herbicides during critical period of crop-weed competition gives a way out to handle the situation and to realise higher productivity. Further, the integration of all the weed management practices in the form of IWM needs to be explored more and more being economically viable, ecologically sustainable and locally available and user friendly techniques. Realization of higher cotton yield and fetching better remunerations mainly depends on an integrated weed management approach that also recognizes the adoption of location specific cultivar.","PeriodicalId":418512,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agriculture Research and Technology","volume":"1 3 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":"121701319","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}
