कारगिल, लद्दाख क्षेत्र में कोडलि‍गं मोथ के प्रबंधन के लिए एक संभावित उपकरण - सामूहिक फंदा (मास ट्रैप)  Mass trapping is just as the name suggests, placement of a large number of traps in an area, which usually have a sticky cardboard bottom baited with pheromone lures. The lure mimics the scent of a female moth attracting male moths to the trap with the result preventing or delaying mating. Mass trapping requires a high density of traps in order to remove enough males to reduce insect damage. Mass trapping has been attempted for a variety of agricultural, orchard and forest pests on scales ranging from a few to thousands of hectares ....

प्याज की बेहतर किस्मेें Onion (Allium cepa L.) 2n=2x=16, is one of the important bulb crops belonging to family Alliaceae and has gained the importance of a cash crop in recent years because of its very high export potential. The common onion contains 88.6-92.8% moisture, 0.9-1.6% protein, 0.2% fat, 5.2-9.0% carbohydrates, 50-51mg sulphur and 23-28 calories energy per 100 g of edible portion. Onion is characterized by its distinctive flavour and pungency, which is the due to Allylpropyl-disulphide, a sulphur containing compounds found in the scales of the bulb. The red and yellow colour of outer skin of onion is due to presence of Anthocyanin and Quercetin, respectively. Anti-fungal activities in onion is due to...

कृषि उत्पादाेे का मूल्य संर्वधन: लाभ कमाने की सदाबहार तकनीक Agriculture forms the backbone of Indian economy and even though there has been large industrialization in last 60 years, agriculture still occupies a place of importance. Agriculture has abled to provide us more or less food security, but, still failed in providing nutritional security. Value addition is one of important components of nutritional security. Sometimes surplus production is the cause of lower price of produce in market. One way to solve the problem is crop diversification which is responsible for a viable market system, creates opportunity to earn more as well as strong step toward nutritional security.  Another step is value addition of...

ग्रीनहाउस गैस उत्पादन पर मानवकृत गतिविधियों और कृषि कार्यो का प्रभाव Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth’s atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gas­es, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. Human activities like burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), deforestation and various agricultural and industrial practices, are altering the composition of the atmosphere and contributing to climate change.  These human activities have led to increased atmospheric concentrations of a number of greenhouse gases (GHGs), including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and ozone in the lower part of the atmosphere. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to...

कार्बन ट्रेडिंग पर अंतर्राष्ट्रीय सम्मेलन और वैश्विक पहल Carbon is the common denominator in all polluting gases that cause global warming. Carbon dioxide is the gas most commonly thought of as a greenhouse gas. It is responsible for about half of the atmospheric heat retained by trace gasses. It is produced primarily by burning of fossils fuels and deforestation accompanied by burning and bio-degradation of biomass.  It is estimated that if the CO2 increases in the atmosphere at the present rate and no positive efforts are pursued, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere would go up to 800-1000 ppm by the end of current century. Which may create havoc for all living...

मैग्नीशियम: फसल उत्पादन का एक भूलाा हुआ पोषक तत्व Magnesium nutrition of plants is frequently overlooked and shortages will adversely impact plant growth. Many essential plant functions require adequate Mg supplies, the most visible being its role in root formation, chlorophyll, and photosynthesis. Many less visible reactions are also dependent on an adequate supply of Mg. This review briefly summarizes some of the essential roles of Mg for plants. Magnesium was discovered by Sir Humphrey Davy in 1808 and essentiality for plant life was proved by Willstatter in 1906. Magnesium has a number of key functions in plants. Particular metabolic processes and reactions that are influenced by Mg include photo-phosphorylation such as ATP...
