The present work was carried out with the objective to study the adoption pattern of HUW 234 and estimate its impact on inputs’ demand and crop productivity. Methods: The primary data was collected from 160 farmers with the help of pre-tested questionnaire for the crop season 2016-17 from Azamgarh and Bhadohi district. The impact of HUW 234 on inputs’ demand and crop productivity was estimated by using translog profit function approach and Cobb-Douglas production function approach. Result: The estimated demand function equations imply that the variety is resource saving viz. water, fertilizer and labour saving. The net yield disadvantage of HUW 234 over other wheat varieties evaluated at sample means was around 11.52 per cent. The likeliness of farmer-consumer towards its taste can create new opportunities to increase profitability through premium prices. The results indicate the need for focused breeding efforts in old genotype as per the preferences of the farmers.\u0000","PeriodicalId":8784,"journal":{"name":"Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Patrika","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85692752","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}

About 60 million people are directly engaged in cotton textiles and processing works. Cotton is an important cash crop. In some places, it is called “white gold” because it brings in foreign exchange. India is one of the top cotton producers and exporters in the world. 85% of the world’s cotton is cultivated in ten major countries, including India, which is the second-largest producer. India has a competitive advantage in the production of cotton. The study’s objective is to find out the relative yield efficiency between the states of India in cotton farming. Methods: The Secondary data of cotton production is collected from the website of INDIASTAT. The ANOVA is used to calculate the relative yield efficiency of cotton. Result: The paper’s result is calculated using SPSS V22 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). The result shows that Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Orissa have the highest efficiency in cotton yield, while Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh have the lowest efficiency in cotton yield and the rest states have the average yield. In Maharashtra and Karnataka, rainfall was uneven and soil fertility was not good. The dryland of Karnataka played an important role in less productivity of cotton. Punjab, Haryana and Gujrat had better soil fertility which makes it better for cotton yield. Government should take the necessary steps to increase the average yield of cotton by shifting cotton farming from the low-yield region to the high-yield region. The government should promote cotton production where the yield is higher and demote cotton farming where the yield is lower. Government should also promote “better cotton” farming because it is more sustainable and has a higher yield with a lower cost of cultivation.\u0000","PeriodicalId":8784,"journal":{"name":"Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Patrika","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83860631","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}

Edible coatings based on natural ingredients is now a days being widely used to extend the shelf life of perishable fruits and vegetables. In the present study the impact of aloevera gel and corn starch coatings on quality attributes and shelf life of tomato was assessed. Methods: Two lots of tomatoes -one coated with aloevera gel and the other coated with corn starch coating were stored for 21 days under refrigerated condition. Physio-chemical characteristics of tomatoes were assessed at 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days during storage. Result: The retention of moisture content, colour and firmness were observed better for coated tomatoes than the uncoated ones. The physiological weight loss, ascorbic acid content and total soluble solid content decreased at a higher rate in case of uncoated tomatoes compared to the coated ones. The decay percentage of tomatoes for uncoated, corn starch coated and aloevera coated tomatoes were found as 92%, 10% and 5% respectively.

The practice of agriculture is also known as “farming”. Agricultural technology refers to technology for the production of machines used on a farm to help with farming. Agricultural machineries have been designed for practically every stage of the agricultural process. They include machines for tilling the soil, planting seeds, irrigating the land, cultivating crops, protecting them from pests and weeds, harvesting, threshing grain, livestock feeding and sorting and packaging the products. Technology has played a big role in developing the agricultural industry. And women play major role in farming activities, which constitute nearly 43% of the world’s agricultural labor force, which rises up to 70% in some countries. But they do not have adequate awareness and access to improved technologies to reduce their drudgery and improve productivity, unlike men. Hence the present study has been conducted to make a positive impact by empowering them and bring awareness. Methods: In this research study sample were selected on the basis of front line demonstration method to introduce the set of 7 drudgery reducing tools i.e. Paddy thresher, Twin wheel hoe, Serrated sickle, Vegetable collection bag, milking stand cum stool, stalk puller, Rack, were given to the farm women for exposure .These implements were given to 5 self help group of 50 farm women and data were collected from them regarding the awareness about the technologies before and after the front line Demonstration programmes. Result: Adoption levels were assessed after completion of a crop season. It was found that partial awareness was there about the improved equipment before training and awareness was in the random selected group after the training programs. About 80 per cent of the farm women have adopted the given technologies. This study can helpful for promotion of technology in gender perspective towards the challenges of farm women would help in reducing drudgery and occupational health problems of women workers in agriculture.","PeriodicalId":8784,"journal":{"name":"Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Patrika","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81734520","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}

Agriculture is intricately tied to food security and life sustainability on earth. The arising climatic alteration forces plants to compete for nutrients from the soil. Crop yielding and their nutritional quality are highly influenced by environmental factors (biotic and abiotic stress), agronomic factors, pests and nutrient availability in the soil. These are the nanoparticle that monitors the elements in soil by sharing some signals. Micronutrients help to maximize plant growth and protect plants from diseases and pathogens. But the alteration of the environmental condition is highly responsible for nutrient limitation and growth inhibition. 35% of the world’s agricultural lands are decreasing their soil fertility, which leads to nutrient deficiency in plants. These insufficient nutrients of crops lower the yield and nutritional quality of food and affected human health. In the reproductive stage of plant growth, environmental stress is highly responsible for flower drop, pollen tube deformation, ovule abortion, pollen sterility and yield losses. A sufficient quantity of micronutrients can help to reduce the biotic and abiotic stress in agricultural crops. The current review gives a brief knowledge to understand the current features of micronutrients in the agricultural crop which focus on the mechanism, absorption activity, toxicity and deficiency of micronutrients in plants and how it secures our food system by increasing the yield and nutritional quality.","PeriodicalId":8784,"journal":{"name":"Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Patrika","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83550432","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}
