Crop Production System management

Rabi 2012-13

Effect of sulphur on storage quality

The effect of source and level of sulphur on storage behaviour of onion, was assessed

at Nashik and Karnal on onion variety Agrifound Light Red. The produce was kept for

storage for a period of 5 months on 09 May 2013 at Nashik, while 22 May 2013 at Karnal.

There was lowest PLW bulbs which were not given gypsum sulphur treatment which

was at par with gypsum @ 15 or 30 kg/ha and also with elemental sulphur @ 15 or 30

kg/ha. However, lowest total loss was recorded in no gypsum (19.16%). This might be

due to the availability of sufficient sulphur in soil (36.33 kg/ha). At Karnal, application of

gypsum @ 30 kg/ha proved better and gave lowest total loss (21.16%) after 4 months of

storage.

Integrated nutrient management

The performance of onion produced under integrated nutrient approach, a trial was conducted at Nashik. The bulbs of Agrifound Light Red were stored for a period of 5 months on 14 May at ambient conditions. The application of NPKS @ 110:40:60:40 kg + 7.5 tonnes Vermicompost (VC)/ha gave lowest storage loss (29.38%) after 5 months, However, it was at par with the application of NPKS @ 100:50:50:30 kg + 20 tonnes FYM + Azatobactor 5 kg + PSB 5 kg/ha, NPKS @ 110:40:60:40 kg + 7.5 tonnes FYM + 2.5 tonnes VC/ha and NPKS @ 110:40:60:40 kg + 3.5 tonnes Poulty manure (PM) + 3.5 to VC/ha.

Effect of micro-nutrients on storage quality

The effect of micro-nutrients on storage performance was assessed of onion variety Agrifound Light Red. The bulbs were kept for further storage after proper drying and curing for 5 months on 13 May. There was lowest PLW (25.07%) in control (without micronutrient) which was at par with soil application of Zn @ 2.0 kg/ha, soil application of B @ 1.0 kg/ha, foliar application of B @ 0.25% at 30 and 45 DAT and foliar application of micronutrient mixture @ 0.5% at 30 and 45 DAT. The availability of Zn and B in the soil (0.35 mg/kg and 1.36 mg/kg, respectively) in sufficient quantity might be attributed to


no response on bulb during storage. The normal values for Zn and B are 0.2 mg and 0.5 mg/kg of soil, respectively.

Storage Potential under drip irrigation

The bulbs of Agrifound Light Red were kept for storage on 08 May 2013 for a period of 5 months. The drip irrigation for one hour daily in morning gave lowest total loss (45.57%) after 5 months of storage. However, it was at par with that of drip irrigation for half an hour in morning and half an hour in evening daily.

Identification of diseases and plant pathogens The samples were received from farmers, research and extension centres for identification of pathogens, causing diseases in different crops. The samples of grape plants, rose plants, tomato fruits/plants and pomegranate were tested. The soil samples, mixture of cocopit and vermicompost for estimation of nematode, fungal population and some bioproducts also received and analyzed for colony count.

The leaf yellowing and browning of pith was observed in roots and stems of wilted grape plants due to infection of Verticillium spp. The wilting in rose plants was also found due to infection of Verticillium spp. The black rot lesions caused by Guignardia spp. was recorded in leaves of grape. Tomato plants were found free from any infection but fruits show typical symptoms of light to dark brown tissue disintegration called gray wall of tomato caused by unfavorable climate and imbalance of nutrients. The leaf curl virus disease and root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) was also recorded in tomato plants. The bacterial leaf spot caused by Xanthomonas spp. was recorded in pomegranate. Soil samples were processed by sieving and decanting method and recorded nematode population of 56 - 96 numbers per kilogram of soil. Some of the bioproducts samples were tested for colony count in Trichoderma spp., Beauveria spp., Metarrhizium spp., Paceilomyces spp., Pseudomonas spp., Azotobacter, Bacillus spp. phosphate solubilizing bacteria etc. Aspergillus niger was recorded in samples of cocopit and vermicompost mixture tested by serial dilution method in laboratory.


In vitro experiment In vitro experiments were conducted for quality test of talcum-base T. viride produced in Biocontrol Laboratory.
