The material was planted in Randomized Block Design with three replications and observations were recorded on individual plant basis. Analysis of variance recorded significant between genotypes for the characters studies. The genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher for seed yield per plant (g). High heritability (broad sense) coupled with high genetic advance as percentage of mean was observed for branches per plant, no. of pods per plant, pod length (cm), seeds per pod, test weight (g) and seed yield per plant (g). The correlation analysis at genotypic and phenotypic level, seed yield per plant was positively significant correlated with branches per plant, number of pods per plant, test weight, harvest index, days to 50% flowering, pod length and seeds per pod, but except days to maturity at phenotype level which was correlated with negative significance. Path coefficient analysis suggested that the highest positive direct effect on grain yield per plant was exerted by harvest index (%) followed by seeds per pod, test weight, days to 50% flowering, plant height and branches per plant. Number of pods per plant, pod length (cm) and days to maturity contributed considerable negative direct effect on grain yield per plant.","PeriodicalId":507789,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Bio-resource and Stress Management","volume":"42 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139240083","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}

According to the findings, Red Beaut ripened first whereas the cultivar Mariposa took 150 days from flowering to harvest, making it the last to be picked. The cv. Au Rosa had the largest trunk girth (44 cm), cv. Mariposa likewise had the longest shoots, measuring 180 cm, cv. Frontier had the highest fruit output per tree (145 kg), closely followed by the cv. Black Amber (140 kg) which also has maximum fruit size (5.4 cm), and weight (130 g). The cv. Frontier (14.1°B) showed the highest TSS, followed by the cv. Mariposa (14.0°B), while the cv. Kala Amritsari showed the lowest TSS. The plum cultivar Kala Amritsari displayed the highest fruit acidity, at 2.3%.

Initially, polished/milled Jaya variety rice soaked, ground with water and made into batter. The batter without any coarse particles diluted in separate flat containers. Then, a thin cotton cloth was dipped in the diluted batter and spread over the hot curved surface of inverted pot almost maintained at 120–135°C. This structures the paper-thin external front of the sweet. The size of produced rice starch edible film was about 41×30 cm2 and thickness in the range of 0.02–0.05 cm. The four paper sweet variants were prepared by rolling the rice starch film stuffed with various fillings including jaggery/sugar and nuts & jaggery/sugar alone. Fuzzy logic sensory study was conducted for analysis of paper sweets and to compare the acceptability of these paper sweet variants. Ranking was assigned to each sample by calculating fuzzy membership unction, normalized fuzzy membership function, normalized fuzzy membership function matrix, judgment membership function matrix, judgment subset and quality ranking subset. Finally, the weightage average was compared with quality ranking of all paper sweet variants. The results concluded that all four samples were quite comparable; however, paper sweet with jaggery and nuts received the best response.","PeriodicalId":507789,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Bio-resource and Stress Management","volume":"62 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139261607","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 standardized composition of shoe polish was obtained as 3 part oil and one-part bee wax containing other elements like colour pigment, shellac, gum arabic and turpentine oil. To overcome the problem of colour, sixteen various combinations of shellac and gum arabic were carried out for improvement of colour in each case of black and brown polish. The developed shoe polish was tested for texture, applicability, spreadability, and ease in taking out the material. Colour was recorded with a gloss meter. The highest gloss meter reading i.e. 10.62 GU was recorded in the case of a black shoe polish containing shellac and gum arabic each weighing 0.75 g whereas a sample containing 1.25 g shellac and gum arabic each showed the lowest gloss reading of 3.88 GU. In the case of brown polish, the highest gloss meter reading i.e. 5.24 GU was recorded in the case of a sample containing shellac and gum arabic weighing 1.25 g each, and the lowest was observed in the case of the sample containing shellac weighing 0.5g and gum arabic weighing 0.75 g.

Further to study the effect of different epidemiological factors on disease development, the leaves inoculated using carborundum abrasion were subjected to four temperature levels, five relative humidity levels and five different durations of leaf wetness under controlled conditions in relative humidity cum temperature control cabinet. The observations were recorded at different intervals and the data revealed that the pathogen caused severe symptoms on the leaves with high apparent rate of infection under 30°C temperature, 100% RH and a maximum of 24 h of leaf wetness.

The ten years old seven cultivars (Cricket Ball, PKM-1, PKM-2, PKM-3, CO-1, CO-2 and CO-3) are planted in a square system in a spacing of 5×5 m2. The maximum fruit weight was found in CO-1 (73.86 g) and followed by CO-2 (73.53 g). The longest fruit length and dimension were observed from CO-2 (7.00 cm and 5.07 cm respectively). The maximum pulp contains in the cultivar is CO-2 (69.58 g) followed by CO-1 (68.96 g). The maximum value of TSS was found in CO-2 (25.17 oBrix) followed by Cricket Ball (21.22 oBrix) and CO-3 (20.28 oBrix). The lowest acidity was recorded in CO-2 (0.12%) followed by CO-3 (0.16%) and CO-1 (0.20%).

The study included estimates of genetic variability parameters such as mean, range, phenotypic coefficient of variability, genotypic coefficient of variability, broad-sense heritability, and genetic advance over % of mean. The ANOVA estimations showed that there’s considerable variation across genotypes for all twelve traits investigated across both environments. Traits like grains spike-1 and harvest index displayed considerable genotypic and phenotypic variances across both environments indicating the relevance of these traits in stress conditions. Tillers plant-1 and grain yield plant-1 displayed high genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation in timely and late conditions respectively. High heritability reported for traits like days to 50% flowering, canopy temperature, harvest index, grain yield plant-1, tillers plant-1, thousand grain weight and grains spike-1 in both conditions. Under both conditions, tillers plant-1, grains spike-1, harvest index and grain yield plant-1 reported strong heritability along with high genetic advance over % of mean.
