बीज गार्डन के माध्यम से ऑयल पाम की गुणवत्ता वाली रोपण सामग्री Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) cultivation has been expanded rapidly in recent years and is now second only to soybean as a major source of the world supply of oils and fats. It is the highest edible oil yielding crop yielding up to 5-6 tonnes of mesocarp oil (Crude Palm Oil, CPO) and 0.4 to 0.6 MT of palm kernel oil (PKO) per ha per year which is much higher (5-8 times) than that of any major oil producing crop. This crop offers viable solution for the ever increasing shortage of vegetable oils in the country and in saving valuable foreign exchange (approx 70,000 crores during 2012-13) being incurred annually for import of edible oils. Palmolein, the liquid fraction of RBD (Refined, Bleached and deodourized) palm oil is commonly used for cooking at home, in fast food restaurants, and also in snack foods and instant noodles manufacture. Palm oil and its fractions are also used in production of margarine, bakery and frying shortenings, vanaspati, confectionery fats, ice creams and as a replacement for butter fat in some dairy products. Palm oil is particularly suitable for deep frying because it is relatively stable at high temperature, compared with the more unsaturated oils. Palm...

6 प्रमुख कटफ्लावर की स्वस्थ रोपण सामग्री के उत्पादन की  तकनीक Production of healthy and disease free planting material is difficult task and required lot of experience, planning and management. Since quality planting material (seed/saplings/bulbs etc.) is the basic requirement for successful flower (cut/loose) production for market or exhibition. Generally, plants are produced by two methods i.e. sexual and asexual or vegetative. In India sexual method is followed mostly in flowering annuals (seasonal flowers) and most of the shade, flowering or ornamental trees. Some annual creepers viz., Clitoria ternatea, Cobaea seandens, Lethyrus odoratus, Ipomea spp and Thunbergia alata are also produced from seeds. The other types of plants which are also commonly propagated in our country from seeds are palms, different cacti and succulents. There are several ornamentals which are not normally propagated from seeds but bred by breeders through seed to get new hybrids. Some of these plants are rose, chrysanthemum, gladiolus, carnation, orchid, dahlia, bougainvillea and hibiscus etc. Large number of ornamental plants are also produced through vegetative means like cutting, layering, buddings and asexual organs like corm, bulb and tubers. Therefore, the vegetative production technology of major cut flowers is discussed below in order to facilitate the production of quality planting material. 1. Chrysanthemum Plants are propagated by rooting terminal cuttings....
