Keeping this in view, this current experiment has been planned whereby the guava fruits coated with beeswax at 2.5% and 5.0% concentrations along with packing with low density polyethylene (LDPE) were assayed for shelf life and storability. After coatings, the fruits were packed in ventilated corrugated fiberboard (CFB) boxes and stored in the cold chamber (6–8°C, 90–95% relative humidity [RH]) and at ambient conditions (6–24°C, 40–75% RH). Quality analysis after 5-day and 3-day intervals in cold storage and ambient storage conditions, respectively, revealed that fruit firmness, ascorbic acid (AsA), acidity, sugars, total phenols, and pectin content decreased during storage, whereas weight loss (WL) and decay incidence was maintained in beeswax treated fruit compared to the control. The highest mean value of firmness, AsA, titratable acidity (TA), sugars, total phenolic content (TPC), pectin content and overall sensory quality (SQ) and lowest decay incidence, WL, and pectin methyl esterase (PME) activity were obtained from Beeswax 5%+ LDPE treated guava fruits up to 20 days and 9 days of storage under cold and ambient conditions, respectively.Not Availabl

improves both yield and quality. Leaf retention is a cultural practice that involves maintaining definite
number of leaves above the bunch to optimize photosynthetic efficiency and fruit quality. The
experiment was conducted at the ICAR-National Research Centre for Grapes with different treatments of number of leaves above the bunch (10, 12, 14, 16 and >16 leaves). The parameters
measured included leaf area, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, bunch
weight, berry quality and raisin recovery. The results revealed that retaining 14 leaves above bunch
with leaf area of 1066.33 cm2 resulted in maximum bunch weight (365.00 g), 50-berry weight
(123.31 g), yield/vine (23.72 kg) and raisin recovery (26.54 %) while, minimum bunch weight
(300.00 g), 50-berry weight (103.48 g), yield/vine (19.20 kg) and raisin recovery (24.35 %) were
observed in more than16 leaves above the bunch. However, the leaf area/shoot (2888.00 cm2
), leaf
area/vine (69312.00 cm2
), leaf area/bunch (1066.33 cm2
) and leaf area/g berry weight (2.92 cm2
/g)
were found sufficient for high quality grape and raisin production in a vine spaced at 9 X 5 feet
distance which was achieved through 14 leaves above the bunch in Manjari Kishmish grape. It is
therefore recommended to maintain approximately 14 leaves above the bunch in Manjari Kishmish
that will help to maximize photosynthetic efficiency, enhance leaf area distribution and support
higher yield, raisin and better berry qualityNot Availabl

No full textNot AvailableTwenty-two coloured grape accessions were screened for various physio-biochemical traits. The genetic variability and
multivariate analysis were carried out for growth and biochemical parameters of grape accessions grown under Pune
conditions. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations were observed in average bunch weight, berry weight,
proline and total tannin. All the biochemical parameters showed very high estimated heritability for broad sense (h2
b.s.).
Higher genetic gain was recorded for average bunch weight, total tannin, proline and protein while low genetic gain was
observed in berry diameter and seeds/berry. The multivariate analysis revealed that biochemical parameters could be
potentially used for discrimination of grape genotype. The heat map cluster analysis showed higher biochemical parameters in Kali Sahebi, Kishmish Maldovski, Red Ficosa, H-516 and Omania Black. Among the accessions studied, Kali Sahebi
performed better concerning growth attributes like average bunch weight, berry diameter, berry and seed weight, days
to harvest and biochemical constituents like total phenol, anthocyanin and colour intensity. A very close association was
observed between phenotypic and genotypic variation, particularly for biochemical parameters. Therefore, very high heritability and genetic advance were recorded in these parameters. It can be concluded that the parameters governing the
very close association between phenotypic and genotypic variation can contribute to the varietal selection and trait-specific varietal development programmes.Not Availabl

No full textNot AvailableWith the purpose of enhancing farm women's weeding productivity, the current study was conducted in the adopted villages of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Banavasi, Kurnool, utilizing the CRIJAF weeder and CRIDA wheel hoe. The reduction of women’s drudgery with the use of weeders was assessed in terms of time, labour required, weeding efficiency, and drudgery index score. The outcome shows the amount of work produced during the weeding process using both conventional and advanced technologies. The CRIDA wheel hoe has a significantly higher work output than the CIJAF weeder, followed by the hand hoe. There was a decrease in labour requirements for both weeders when compared to the traditional method. The time taken for weeding was recorded to be less in the CRIDA wheel hoe (4 hours), followed by the CRIJAF nail weeder (6 hours), whereas in manual feeding it was recorded as 8 hours. The weeding efficiency percentage was found to be highest for hand hoes (76.5%), followed by CRIJAF and CRIDA weeders. When utilising the advanced weeders, moderate drudgery (drudgery index score between 35.4 and 42.2) was noted; however, maximum drudgery (drudgery index score 68) was noted when using the hand hoe. As a result, it is advised that farm women use enhanced technology for their weeding tasks in order to maximize their productivity, lessen their labor and save time.Not Availabl

No full textNot AvailableWater deficit stress and pod developing stages affect the biosynthesis of primary and secondary metabolites
thereby altering nutritional composition of groundnut kernels. Two groundnut genotypes (GJG-22 and TG-37 A)
were grown under normal and water-deficit conditions in the field. Biochemical traits of the genotypes were
measured at three pod-developing stages (90, 105, and 120 days after sowing). The results showed that
groundnut kernels’ oil percentage increased with maturity with a significant decrease in sugars and protein
content in the control set (P < 0.005). Among the fatty acids, linoleic and palmitic acids were increased, while
oleic acid decreased in both varieties under water deficit conditions, thereby reducing the oleic to linoleic acid
ratio (O/L ratio). Water deficit stress resulted in increased trehalose and tocopherol content. Phenolics profiling
revealed accumulation of p-coumaric acid (3–6 folds), and resveratrol (2–3 folds) in water deficit treatment at all
the stages. While a toxic compound catechol decreased due to water deficit stress and maturity. Rutin, the major flavonoid detected in groundnut, increased during the S1 and S2 phases in both the genotypes under stress conditions over the control. Protein and sugar content had a positive correlation (0.46) while both protein
( 0.23) and sugar content ( 0.35) had a negative correlation with oil content. Overall primary metabolites
showed a negative correlation with bioactive compounds. These findings revealed that water deficit stress at
different pod-developing stages increases bioactive compounds in groundnut kernels.Not Availabl
