    Abstract: It is widely accepted that deficiency of macro (nitrogen) and micronutrients (zinc, copper etc.) affects the plant growth and development which cause a significant threat to crop production and food security. The Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative (IFFCO) developed nano-urea (nano-N), nano-zinc (nano-Zn), and nano-copper (nano-Cu) liquid fertilizer formulations to enhance the crop yields, simultaneously addressing the nutrient deficiency, without causing toxicity. Therefore, this study was formulated to evaluate the effectiveness of nano-N (nano-urea), nano-Zn, and nano-Cu at varying N levels [0, 50, 75, and 100% of the recommended rates of nitrogen (RRN)] on maize-wheat and pearl millet-mustard systems during 2019–20 and 2020–21. The results exhibited that the application of nano-N + nano-Zn with 100% RRN exhibited significantly higher grain yields in maize (66.2–68.8%), wheat (62.6–61.9%), pearl millet (57.1–65.4%), and mustard (47.2–69.0%), respectively, over absolute control plots and combinations of three nano-fertilizers like nano-N + nano-Zn + nano-Cu applied plots. This was mainly attributed to the higher N and Zn uptake by the crops. However, 75% RRN with nano-N + nano-Zn also produced comparable yields. Thus, applying nano-N and nano-Zn via foliar applications, in conjunction with conventional urea, has the potential to reduce the required nitrogen fertilizer amount by up to 25%, while simultaneously maintaining equivalent yield levels. Similarly, 100% RRN and 75% RRN + nano-N + nano-Zn registered comparable profitability, soil mineral N, dehydrogenase activity (DHA), and soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), during both the study years. However, further research and field trials on nano fertilizers alone or in combination with conventional fertilizers are essential to fully unlock its benefits and ascertain its long-term effects which may offer a pathway to more efficient and eco-friendly crop nourishment.

    Abstract: Soil quality restoration and sustainable crop production in the rainfed ecosystem of the Indian Himalayas can be achieved through effective conservation tillage and organic management. Hence, a six‐year (2013 to 2019) study was conducted to quantify the effect of tillage and organic nutrient management on soil properties, productivity, and profitability of the maize‐vegetable pea ( Pisum sativum ) system. Three tillage practices [conventional (CT), reduced (RT), and no‐till (NT)] and four organic nutrients management practices [(ONM)‐farmyard manure @ 8 Mg ha −1 farmers practice (ONM 1 ), 100% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) through manures (ONM 2 ), 75% RDN through manures + maize/vegetable pea stover in either of the crops (ONM 3 ), and 50% RDN through manures + maize/vegetable pea stover in either of the crops (ONM 4 )] were tested. The results indicated that the NT had higher soil organic carbon (SOC, 16.49 g kg −1 ), available N (354.5 kg ha −1 ), and lesser bulk density (1.31 Mg m −3 ) and penetration resistance (1.85 MPa) in comparison with that of CT at 0–10 cm depth. The system productivity under NT was 9.6% higher than that obtained under CT. The ONM 3 had higher SOC content, plant‐available N, soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), and dehydrogenase activity (DHA) than ONM 1 . The integration of RT‐ONM 2 enhanced SMBC, DHA, maize, and vegetable pea yield by 27.2%, 35.7%, 38.0%, and 60.3%, respectively, over CT‐ONM 1 . Thus, the study suggested that the adoption of effective conservation tillage with adequate organic nutrient management has the potential to advance the soil properties and productivity of maize‐vegetable pea system in the Himalayan Region.

    Abstract: Inadequate nutrient management is one of the major challenges for sustainable soybean production in semi-arid climatic conditions. Hence, a 3-year (2015–2017) field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of foliar application of macro- and micronutrients on the growth, productivity, and profitability of soybean. Eight foliar nutrient sprays at the pod initiation stage—water spray (WS), 2% urea solution, 2% di-ammonium phosphate solution (DAP2%), 0.5% muriate of potash solution (MOP0.5%), 2% solution of 19:19:19 nitrogen phosphorus and potassium (NPK2%), and a 0.5% solution each of molybdenum (Mo0.5%), boron (B0.5%), chelated-zinc (Zn 0.5%) and no-foliar nutrition (NFN)—were compared with a basal-applied recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF: 30 kg N, 75 kg P, and 40 kg K ha−1) in a randomized block design (RBD), replicated three times. Foliar-applied chelated Zn@0.5% (Zn0.5%) at the pod initiation stage resulted in more pods per plants. In addition to Zn0.5%, urea2%, NPK2%, and B0.5% significantly improved the pods per plant over treatment by no-foliar nutrition (NFN). The RDF-supplied soybean subsequently sprayed with Zn0.5% produced the highest seed yield, which was 18.5–37.8% higher than that of NFN treatment Yield improvement due to the application of B0.5%, DAP2%, and urea2% varied between 19.2–23.7, 16.6–20.4 and 18.6–20%, respectively. Foliar nutrition showed the largest net returns from Zn0.5%. The water-use efficiency (WUE) and production efficiency increased by 18.4–37.6 and 34.9–37.5%, respectively, due to Zn0.5% over the efficiencies from NFN treatment. Monetary efficiency (ME) gains due to Zn0.5% were 24% higher, while ME efficiency gains due to urea2%, NPK2%, and B0.5% varied between 15–16%. Thus, this study suggested that the foliar application of 0.5% Zn and B, urea, NPK fertilizer, and DAP at 2%, along with RDF. is a profitable nutrient management option for quality soybean production in a semiarid region. However, nutrient partitioning, changes in soil chemical and biological indicators, and environmental aspects need critical examination in future studies.

    Abstract: French bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivation faces multipronged challenges of low farm productivity, poor economic returns, and soil health deterioration in the hilly ecosystem of India. Hence, the development of a cost-effective and soil-supportive French bean cultivation technology is highly warranted. Thus, a field experiment was conducted for two consecutive seasons in the Sikkim region of the Indian Himalayas to assess the impact of different organic nutrient sources on the production potential, profitability, and soil health of French bean. Eight organic nutrient management practices, viz. , farmers' practice, 100% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) through FYM, 100% RDN through mixed compost (MC), 100% RDN through vermicompost (VC), 50% RDN through FYM + 50% RDN through MC, 50% RDN through FYM + 50% RDN through VC, 50% RDN through MC + 50% RDN through VC, and 33% RDN through FYM + 33% RDN through MC + 33% RDN through VC, were assigned in a three times replicated randomized complete block design. The results revealed that the supply of 33% RDN through FYM + 33% RDN through MC + 33% RDN through VC 33% recorded the highest pod yield (8.30 and 8.00 Mg ha −1 ) and net returns (1,831 and 1,718 US$ ha −1 ). Furthermore, the supply of 33% RDN through FYM + 33% RDN through MC + 33% RDN through VC 33% also had a positive impact on soil health. It was shown that an equal supply of RDN through FYM + MC + VC increases soil pH by 8.35%, SOC by 5.45%, available N by 6.32%, available P by 16%, available K by 9.92%, and micronutrients by 5–7% over farmers' practice. Thus, the supply of RDN through the integration of FYM + MC + VC in equal proportion is an economically robust and soil-supportive nutrients management practice for organic French bean production in the hilly ecosystem of North East India.

    Abstract: Seven genotypes of mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj and Coss.], protogynous lines (F3-5 generation), cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) line and different concentrations (3, 5 and 8% (w/v)) of detergent (synthetic detergent powder was used in present investigation. There is effect of detergent which induces more prominent male sterility expression in Pusa Bold followed by Ashirwad genotypes and more vigorous during floral bud initiation, resist to scorching effect and delayed in flowering. Furthermore, the floral attributes, viz. anther length (mm), no. of pollen grains/bagged flower, pollen fertility, stylar length (mm), stigma receptivity, no. of ovules and seed set (%) were highly significant and which induced 100 % male sterility. Similarly, the pollen-ovule ratio was found to be nonsignificant and the yield0/plant significantly declined with increase in detergent concentration. The PG line showed more prominent stigma exertion, extended protogynous interval (9-10 days) and stigma receptivity (3-4 days) from its protrusion compared to induced male sterile line. The expression of male sterility in PG and CMS lines showed the partial sterility (30-50%) and absolute (100%) respectively. Further, the PG line had low seed set on selfing even it produces normal pollen (pollen viability test) but it was high seed setting occurs with out-crossing hence, it was confirmed presence of self- incompatibility system in the protogynous plants.

    Abstract: Quality seed is the most important input for sustainable agricultural productivity. Recent studies highlight the role of antioxidants in scavenging the reactive oxygen species, which is an indicator for quality seed. In natural ageing conditions, reactive oxygen species accumulates in the seeds that lead to seed deterioration. Wall bound phenolics in seed coat are potential antioxidants that encounter the reactive oxygen species. Four soybean genotypes with different seed coat wall bound phenolics were studied in 2018 at ICAR-Indian Institute of Seed Science and found that the black coat seed such as kalitur and JS76-205 showed highest phenolic content (117.00 and 128.50 μg/mL) and antioxidant activity of 51.38 and 46.07 μg eq. ascorbic acid, respectively. On contrary, the harasoya (green coated seed) resulted lowest phenolic content 14.30 μg/mL, while in RAUS-05 (white coated seed) the antioxidant activity is 2.58 μg eq. ascorbic acid, which is significantly lower than the other genotypes. Further, the genotypes were evaluated for the seed quality parameters and observed that kalitur and JS76-205 showed higher germination percentage (80%) and vigor indices I (900.33) and II (35.01) than the other genotypes. These results substantiate the hypothesis that the seed coat wall bound phenolics with antioxidant properties could alleviate the reactive oxygen species, protects from mechanical and chemical damage and helps in enhancement of seed quality parameters.

    Abstract: Food security coupled with nutritional security is a great concern to address the menace of malnutrition. In the present study, total phenolic contents and antioxidant potential of 35 soybean genotypes have been determined (2018). Besides, the solvent system for efficient extraction of total phenolic content coupled with antioxidants (nutraceuticals) has been optimized. The results revealed that the higher total phenolic contents from soybean seed coats and cotyledons were obtained in acetone-water-acetic acid (70:28:02, v/v) mixture. Total phenolic content (TPC) in soybean genotypes were in the range of 2.58–51.37 μg/mL and 4.26–12.76 mg/mL in seed coats and cotyledons, respectively. In soybean seed coats, higher phenolic content was observed in JS76-205 genotype with 128.5 μg/ml, while JS-2 and MAUS-158 showed 9.00 μg/mL. On the other hand, TPC derived from soybean cotyledons of NRC-37 and MAU-81 showed 12.76 mg/mL; whereas in PS-1347 resulted 4.26 mg/mL. Characterization of phenolic compounds in soybean seed coat and cotyledon revealed the presence of protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde, vanillic acid, vanillin, p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid. Further, antioxidant studies performed from soybean seed coats and cotyledons were in the range of 9.00–128.50 μg eq. ascorbic acid and 2.13–4.27 mg eq. ascorbic acid, respectively. This study demonstrates that the TPC derived from soybean coat and cotyledon can be used not only as nutraceutical but also ensure food and nutritional security.

    Abstract: Kernel size and kernel weight are important yield attributing traits in maize (Zea mays L.). Though yield hascomplex inheritance, understanding and improvement of yield per se becomes relatively easy, when maize breedingis targeted for genetic enhancement of yield component traits. In the present investigation, a set of 45 tropical fieldcorn inbred lines were evaluated under three environments and at different location for kernel length, kernel thicknessand kernel weight traits. In a given location, environmental influence on the expression of these traits were negligibleas it was evident by exhibition of high heritability (broad sense) for the traits under study, however pooled effect ofenvironments showed some interactions. Based on the AMMI stability value, the inbred lines AI 04 followed by AI 37,AI 18, AI 25 and AI 35 were selected as highly stable genotypes for its yield per se. Inbred lines were characterizedusing gene-based markers linked to kernel traits. It was observed that molecular markers rightly classified the inbredlines into different groups based on their trait means. Furthermore, the makers, umc1890 and umc1120 were putativelylinked to kernel weight and kernel thickness respectively. These markers may be utilized for identification of suitabledonor and genetic improvement of kernel traits driven maize improvement program.

    Abstract: An experiment was carried out at the ICAR- IISS, Mau, Uttar Pradesh, India during winters of 2013-14 and 2014- 15, to assess the effect of seed rate on growth, seed yield, yield attributes and seed quality for wheat crop in split plot design (SPD) with three replications. The genotype HD-2733 had significantly higher seed and seedling traits,viz. germination (97.04%), root length (21.64 cm), seedling length (35.54 cm), seedling dry weight (0.208g), vigour index I (3453.8) and vigour index II (20.19). Among the PGRs, the IAA (Indole acetic acid) significantly increased germination (97.11%), root length (22.19 cm), shoot length (14.19cm), seedling length (36.38 cm), seedling dry weight (0.205g), vigour index I (3534.4) and vigour index II (19.95). The seeding rate (75 kg/ha) produced significantly higher tillers/ plant at harvest (6.76), enhanced the spikelet/spike (19.33). The variety PBW 502 showed significantly higher number of tillers/plant at harvest and number of tillers /m row length at harvest than HD 2733 and PBW 550. The different seed rates (50, 75, 100 kg/ha) were tested, among the seed rate (75 kg/ha) significantly enhanced biological yield, seed yield and economics of wheat seed production. Among the genotypes, the significantly highest processed seed yield (3.77 t/ha), biological yield (11.08 t/ha) was obtained with PBW 502. Among the PGRs, the IAA significantly increased processed seed yield (3.77 t/ha). Therefore, IAA was found more promising PGR for enhancement of yield potential in wheat crops compared to Gibberellic acid (GA3). Higher net return (` 90×103), B:C ratio ( 〉 3.0) were realized in PBW 502 at 75 kg/ha seed rate with use of plant growth hormones.
