RESPONSE OF SNAP BEAN PLANTS TO SOME AGRICULTURAL TREATMENTS FOR EARLY YIELD PRODUCTION

Two field experiments were carried out during two early summer seasons of 2012 and 2013 years at the Experimental Farm of Kaha Station, Qalubia Governorate to study the response of snap bean plants Poulista c.v to some agricultural treatments for early green pods yield production using (flowering, amcotone, super phosphate solution compounds) as foliar nutrition, (charcoal, agriculture sulphur and charcoal + agriculture sulphur) as soil addition and( Pea, onion and broad bean) as protection plants, in addition using black polyethylene plastic as a soil mulch. The results indicated that spraying the plants with flowering and amcotone compounds followed by super phosphate solution had the highest values of fresh and dry plant weight. While addingcharcoal to the soil before sowing snap bean seeds gave the highest values of no. of leaves/ plant followed by spraying withflowering and amcotone compounds, respectively. The data showed also that spraying the plants with flowering, amcotone compounds, super phosphate solution, adding charcoal + sulphur and soil mulch with black polyethylene plastic exerted the highest values on all parameter of green pods its and yield attributes in both growing seasons. Concerning total sugars in dry pods it's clear that using protection plants with broad bean followed byonion were the best treatments on it. Generally it can recommend using any one of the mentioned treatments in this experiment especially flowering, amcotone compounds, super phosphate solution, charcoal + sulphur, respectively to obtain high green pod yield either early or total with the best quality.

Selection Parameters for Green POD Yield and Its Component in Table Pea(Pisum SativumL.)

The heritability (narrow sense), genetic advance and association of characters for 12 characters were estimated in a 10 x 10 diallel crosses in table pea. The range of heritability of yield contributing traits were recorded from 4.34 and 25.95 (number of pods per plant) to 83.57 and 79.54 pod length in F1 and F2 generation, respectively High estimates heritability were observed for days to flower and maturity of edible pods, node number of first pod formed, plant height, pod length, green pod yield per plant, harvest index and protein content in both F1 and F2 generations while number of productive branches per plant only in F2. It indicated greater contribution of additive genetic components except those traits which revealed high heritability indicated both additive and non-additive genetic components. Moderate heritability estimates were recorded for number of productive branches per plant, number of developed ovules per pod and shelling percentage in F1 and number of pods per plant in F2 generation. The maximum genetic gain coupled with high heritability estimates was recorded for plant height followed by green pod yield per plant in both F1 and F2 generations indicated the role of additive gene action, thus, the selection in early generation would be effective for improving these traits. The genetic advance in percentage of mean was moderate for all the characters except plant height and green pod yield per plant in both the generations. Green pod yield per plant showed positive and significant genotypic correlation with pod length and number of developed ovules per pod and negatively significant with plant height.

Influence of tillage and organic nutrient management practices on productivity, profitability and energetics of vegetable pea (Pisum sativumL.) in rice-vegetable pea sequence under hilly ecosystems of north-east India

Fixed plot field experiments were conducted at Research Farm, ICAR Sikkim Centre during 2013–14 and 2014–15 to identify the efficient tillage practices and organic nitrogen sources for achieving higher productivity, profitability and energy use efficiency of vegetable pea (Pisum sativum L.) in rice-vegetable pea cropping system of eastern Himalayas. Pooled data of two years showed that among the tillage practices, significantly higher values of yield attributes viz., pod length (8.3 cm), pods/plant (9.9), pod weight (8.3 g), green pea seeds/pod (8.0) and yields [green pod yield (5.89 t/ha) and stover yield (7.49 t/ha)] were recorded with no-tillage (NT) over reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT). Similarly, significantly higher gross returns (125.4 x 103Rs./ha), net returns (96.1 x 103Rs./ha) and B: C ratio (3.27) were recorded with NT over RT and CT. Energy use efficiency was also significantly higher with NT (6.29%) over RT (4.29%) and CT (3.12%). NT required 44 and 28.3% less energy as compared to CT and RT, respectively. Amongst the organic nitrogen sources, significantly higher values of yield attributing characters, green pod yield (6.33 t/ha) and stover yield (6.67 t/ha) were recorded with the application of 50% RDN (recommended dose of nitrogen) through FYM+50% RDN through VC (vermicompost)+BF (biofertilizer) over other organic nitrogen sources. This resulted in 24.9% enhancement in green pod yield over the farmer's practices. In terms of profitability and energetics, application of 50% RDN through FYM+50% RDN through VC+BF was found statistically superior to others and recorded 29.5% higher net returns and 9.9% higher energy use efficiency over the farmer's practice (FYM @ 1.0 t/ha) of the region.

Variability studies in vegetable type cowpea under variable environments

Cowpea is one of the most important legume vegetable in India and Indian sub continent is considered as its place of origin, which resulted divers native germplasm. Therefore, an experiment was carried out at Horticul-tural Research cum Instructional Farm, IGKV, Raipur during kharif and rabi 2007-08 to study the extent of genetic variability in 60 diverse vegetable cowpea genotypes. The mean sum of squares due to genotypes were highly significant for all the characters in both the environments. The magnitudes of PCV were higher than the GCV. Highest and close GCV and PCV were recorded for pod weight and green pod yield per plant in kharif and rabi respectively. Highest heritability estimate was recorded for days to 50% flowering and pod weight whereas, highest genetic advance as percent of mean were recorded for pod weight and green pod yield per plant during kharif and rabi seasons respectively. High heritability along with high genetic advance were recorded for pod weight, green pod yield per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, pod length and plant height, hence selection based on these characters would be more effective for the improvement in cowpea.

Genetic variation and characters interrelationship studies for quantitative and qualitative traits in french bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL.) under Lucknow conditions

Genotypic variability, heritability and genetic advance expressed as percentage of mean for yield and its component were studies in twenty five genotypes of french bean collected from different sources and maintained in the Department of Applied Plant Science (Horticulture) under the School for Bio-sciences and Biotechnology, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University Vidya-Vihar, Rae Bareli, Road, Lucknow (U.P.) India, were evaluated for various quantitative and quality traits. The material showed wide range of variability for green pod yield per plant (91.50-248.09q/ha), green pod yield per plant (54.91-148.87g), plant height (34.47-128.21cm), germination percent (68.87-100) and protein (17.09-30.38). The genotypic and phenotypic variances were high for 100-seed weight (43.11-43.22g) and plant height (40.92-41.71g). Heritability was high for 100-seed weight (99.50%) and plant height (96.50%) whereas it was lowest for green pod breath (26.80cm), high heritability combined with high genetic advance expressed as percentage of mean for 100-seed weight (88.59%), plant height (82.72%) and green pod yield q/ha (54.01%). The characters like 100-seed weight, plant height, green pod yield/plot, green pod yield/plant and green pod yield (q/ha), showed high genotypic coefficient variation and phenotypic coefficient variation with genetic advance, indicating there by that selections based on phenotypic performance could be effective for improvement of these characters.

Effect of zinc and farmyard manure on yield and nutrient content of vegetable pea (Pisum sativumL.)

The experiment was laid out to study the effect of zinc and FYM on yield, nutrient content and uptake and economics of pea (Pisum sativum L.) during rabi season of the year 2009–10. Application of 40 kg/ha zinc sulphate significantly increased shelling percentage (45.61) and green pod yield (78.95 q/ha), zinc content in grain (26.96 ppm) and plant (0.313 ppm), zinc uptake in grain (91.76 g/ha) and plant, total zinc uptake by grain and plant (91.76 g/ha), zinc content in soil (1.63 ppm) over control. Similarly, FYM @ 350 q/ha significantly increased shelling percentage (48.50) and green pod yield (81.35 q/ha), nitrogen content in grain (3.65%) and plant (1.03%), nitrogen uptake by grain (128.07 kg/ha) and plant (12.43 kg/ha), total nitrogen uptake by grain and plant (140.49 kg/ha), nitrogen content in soil (179.85 kg/ha) and OC content in soil (0.184%) over control. The combined effect of zinc (40 kg/ha) and FYM (350 q/ha) was found significant pertaining to green pod yield (80.03 q/ha) compared to control and it was found statistically at par with all other levels of FYM coupled with 40 kg/ha zinc application.

Assessing the Performance of French Bean (Phaseolus vulgarisL) in District Virudhunagar of Tamilnadu

This study was designed in order to evaluate the yield performance and market preference of three French bean varieties namely Arka Komal, Arka Suvidha and Arka Anoop in Virudhunagar district. The green pod yield was more or less similar in Arka Anoop (185q/ha) and Arka Suvidha (180q/ha) due to their yield contributing traits namely number of primary branches per plant, 4.06 and 4.18; number of green pods per plant, 16.60 and 19.08 and green pod length, 15.32 and 17.00 in Arka Anoop and Arka Suvidha, respectively as compared to farmer's choice of variety. Even though the green pod yield was recorded more in Arka Anoop, the net return and

Influence of various sources of nutrients on yield and quality of garden pea under dry temperate conditions of Himachal Pradesh

A field experiment was conducted on sandy loam soil of Kukumseri (Lahaul and Spiti) to evaluate the impact of organic/bio-fertilizer and inorganic sources of nutrients on yield and quality of garden pea under dry temperate high hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh. The experimental soil was slightly alkaline in nature (pH 7.66), medium in available nitrogen but high in available phosphorus and potassium and high organic carbon content (7.62 g/kg). The results indicated a significant increase in green pod yield and straw yield with combined application of FYM 2.5 t ha−1 + Rhizobium and 150% or 100% of recommended NPK through chemical fertilizers. Highest green pod yield of garden pea (123–130 q ha−1) was recorded with application of FYM 2.5 t ha−1 + Rhizobium in integration with 150% of recommended NPK through chemical fertilizers. This combination also showed a significant improvement in ascorbic acid content in garden pea during both the years. Application of FYM 2.5 t ha−1 + Rhizobium found to be significantly better than FYM and Rhizobium alone in influencing yield of pea and ascorbic acid content of garden pea crop. Realizing higher yield of garden pea crop, the combination of FYM 2.5 t ha−1 + Rhizobium in integration with 100% of recommended NPK through chemical fertilizers was as good as with 150% of recommended NPK under dry temperate conditions of Lahaul valley.

Combining ability studies for yield and other horticultural traits in garden pea (Pisum sativumvar.hortenseL.)

A field study with 8 × 8 diallel analysis (without reciprocals) in garden pea revealed highly significant estimates for general combining ability (gca) except number of green pod picking and specific combining ability (sca) for all the traits thereby indicating the importance of both additive and non-additive genetic variance in the inheritance of these traits. The genotypes Palam Priya and DARL-405 were found to be the most promising per se for most of the traits, whereas the cross combination VL-7 × PB-89 involving good × good general combiner parents was found with good desirable sca effects. The cross combination Palam Priya × DARL-405 was found with best sca effects for pod length, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, number of primary branches, total soluble solids and second best for green pod yield per plant. To further improve pod yield, inclusion of F1 combinations with high SCA and parents with good GCA in multiple crosses, biparental mating, or diallel selective mating could be a worthwhile approach.

‘Vivek Matar 11’: A New Garden Pea Cultivar

Garden pea (Pisum sativum L. var. hortense) is cultivated during winter in subtropical and early spring in temperate zones. The major constraint to its cultivation, especially in low- and mid-hills, is infection by the causal organism of powdery mildew. Varietal diversification is needed to develop early- and medium-duration resistance to powdery mildew. Breeding work was initiated to develop a high-yielding garden pea cultivar with medium maturity, dark green pods, and resistance to powdery mildew. ‘Vivek Matar 11’ is a new garden pea cultivar developed by hybridization between ‘Azad Pea 1’ × ‘PRS-18-6-4-5-1’. It is a medium maturity cultivar having attractive long green curved pods with 8–10 sweet seed/pod and is highly resistant to powdery mildew. Average green pod yield is 10–11 Mt·ha−1. It is suitable for cultivation under organic and inorganic conditions. This cultivar may be adapted to other temperate regions of the world.

Variability and character association studies in dolichos bean (Lablab purpureusL.) genotypes

The present investigation was carried out at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari Dist. (Andhra Pradesh). The experimental material comprised of 12 genotypes of Lablab purpureus collected from IIPR Kanpur and AICRP on pigeon pea Bangalore. A wide range of variability was reported in most of the characters. The highest genotypic coefficient of variation was recorded for number of pods per plant followed by pod yield per hectare and lowest in days to first pod harvest. Higher heritability estimates coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean were observed for all the characters except days to first harvest and pod width. Correlation coefficient analysis revealed that number of secondary branches per plant, number of inflorescences per plant, number of pods per inflorescence, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, pod width, days to last harvest and 100 seed weight had the significant positive correlation with marketable green pod yield per plant. Path analysis revealed true relationship between yield and number of secondary branches per plant, number of pods per inflorescence and number of pods per plant and direct selection for these traits will be rewarding for yield improvement as correlation was due to direct effect of the characters. Hence, selection based on these characters could be effective in developing high yielding varieties of dolichos bean for coastal Andhra Pradesh.

Yield, quality and soil fertility of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) as influenced by various row spacing and levels of phosphorus

A field experiment was conducted at Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar during Kharif season of 2010 on loamy sand soil. The treatments comprised of three levels of row spacing (S1 = 30 cm × 15 cm, S2 = 45 cm × 15 cm and S3 = 60 cm × 15 cm) and four levels of phosphorus (P1 = 0 kg P2O5/ha, P2 = 20 kg P2O5/ha, P3 = 40 kg P2O5/ha and P4 = 60 kg P2O5/ha). The results under the study showed that the row spacing significantly influenced and wider spacing (60 cm × 15 cm) produced maximum available nitrogen and available phosphorus in the soil after harvest whereas, maximum green pod yield and dry fodder yield was recorded in narrowest row spacing (30 cm × 15 cm). The application of phosphorus significantly influenced the various yield and quality parameters and higher dose of phosphorus (60 kg P2O5/ha) was found superior in yield and quality characters under study. The 60 kg P2O5/ha recorded maximum pod yield and dry fodder yield.

MAGNETIC TREATMENT OF IRRIGATION WATER FOR IMPROVING VEGETATIVE GROWTH, FRESH AND DRY YIELD OF BEAN (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L.) GROWN UNDER PLASTIC HOUSE

Using magnetic water is an important environmental factor for agriculture in irrigation systems specially drip irrigation. However, its impact on plant growth is not well studied under normal conditions. Two field experiments were conducted during 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 seasons in a plastic house at Horticulture Research Institute, Kaha station, Kalyobia governorate, Egypt to study the impact of magnetized water on growth, yield and some chemical constituents of two bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars and Hama. Results showed significant positive effects of magnetic water on quantity and quality of the studied parameters such as germination %, leaf area/ plant, early and total green pods and seeds weight/ plant. Irrigation with magnetic water gave more vigorous plants. Most studied traits of bean such as vegetative growth (plant height, No. of leaves/ plant, fresh & dry weight/ plant and leaf area/ plant), seed yield and NPK contents of leaves showed significant increase when magnetic water was used. The response of the two cultivars to the magnetic water has similar trend. However, Goya cv gave higher values of vegetative growth measurements as well early and total green pod yield/ plant and seed yield (seed weight/ plant and weight of 100 seeds). The enhancement of these studied characters may be due to that the irrigation with magnetized water make plants absorb more nutrients from soil. Increasing of soil nutrients enhancement photosynthesizes property of plants. This experiment was carried out in order to highlight the efficiency use of magnetic water on bean yield and its components.

Integrated Fertilizer Prescription Equations for Recommendations of Fertilizers in Jute–Rice–Garden Pea Sequence on Alluvial Soil of Eastern India

Field experiment was conducted on alluvial soils (Typic Eutrochrept) of eastern India by adopting inductive cum targeted yield model to assess the fertility status, fertilizer requirements, and formulation with and without integrated plant nutrient supply fertilizer (IPNS) prescription equation for jute fiber, rice grain, and garden pea on soil-test and yield target bases. By using yields, initial soil-test values, uptake of nutrients, and fertilizer doses applied, the basic data [viz., nutrient requirement (NR) and contributions of nutrients from soil (Cs), fertilizers (Cf), and farmyard manure (Cfym)] were computed and used to develop fertilizer prescription equations for jute fiber, rice grain, and garden pea with and without IPNS under a jute–rice–garden pea sequence. The greatest nutrient requirement was observed in jute [2.88:0.97:5.07 kg nitrogen (N)/phosphorus (P)/potassium (K)] followed by rice (2.34:0.47:3.48 kg N/P/K) and garden pea (0.52:0.11:0.39 kg N/P/K) for the production of 100 kg yields of jute fiber/rice grain/green pod, respectively. It was found that soil has contributed the greatest percentage of N (20.6%) and K (47.29%) toward the total N and K uptake by rice followed in jute whereas the greatest percentage contribution of P (21.1%) occurred in jute. However, the greatest contribution of N, P, and K from the fertilizer was observed in jute, followed by rice and garden pea. Nitrogen contribution from fertilizer was 12.5 and 42.9% greater in jute than rice and garden pea, respectively. The greatest fiber and green pod yield in jute were recorded in the high-fertility gradient (strip III), whereas maximum rice grain yield was observed in the low-fertility gradient (strip I), which clearly indicated that high-fertility status favored the production of jute and garden pea but low-fertility status is suitable for rice production. By following ready table, a farmer can save N, phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5), and dipotassium oxide (K2O) in amounts of 3.21, 9.93, and 10.94; 6.35, 7.00, and 9.15; and 34.0, 26.0, and 34.4% more as compared to without IPNS respectively in jute, rice, and garden pea. Application of farmyard manure (FYM) in different fertility gradients improved the organic carbon (C) and available N, P, and K with increasing fertility.

Influence of organic, inorganic and integrated use of nutrients on productivity and quality of pea (Pisum sativum) vis-à-vis soil properties

Awareness of food quality has shifted our nutrient management system toward crop production. Integrated nutrient management system resulted in yield improvement and maintenance of soil health, but has least impact on food quality and environment. To study the impact of different nutrient management system, a field experiment was conducted with organic, inorganic and integrated nutrient management practices on pea (Pisum sativum L.) with eight treatments for four years at the research farm of CSKHPKV, Palampur. Soil chemical, physical and biological properties and symbiotic parameters of pea found to be better under organic farming, however, integrated nutrient practices increased green pod yield each year whereas yield decreased under chemical treatment.

Concerning to using safety materials with water regime levels, it was found that, spraying snap bean plants with amino- z and irrigation with 120% levels from class A pan evaporation was the superior treatment on green pod yield followed by soil treatment with sap material with 60% of water level. Regarding to the mean of green pod weight, the results showed that treating seed with mycorrhizal and 120% level of water regime gave the highest values during the two seasons, then the treatment of foliar spray with lithovite with 80% level of water regime and the treatment by sap soil treatments with supplied by 60% of water irrigation. Concerning to water use efficiency, the data showed that supplied the plants with the highest amount of water 120% and 100% from water irrigation decreased the values of water use efficiency, on the contrary , it can obtained the highest values of water use efficiency from water supplied with 60% then 80% calculated by class A pan evaporation method. Regarding to the effect of safety material on water use efficiency, it was found that, sap treatment or foliar spray with amino-z then, mycorrhizal treatments gave the highest value of water use efficiency. Generally, it can recommend by using sap material of soil addition before sowing and foliar spray by amino- z followed by treating the seeds with mycorrhizal with irrigation level 60% or 80%to obtained the favorable green pod yield and the favorable water use efficiency.

THE EFFECT OF FOLIAR FERTILIZATION WITH NITROFOSKA AND SEED INOCULATION WITH SOME BIO-FERTILIZERS ON GREEN POD YIELD OF PEA (Pisum sativum L.)

Two field experiments were carried out in winter seasons of 2012/2013 and 2013/ 2014 to study the effect of foliar fertilizer with nitrofoska and treating seeds with bio-fertilizers , i.e. nitrobein and potassiomag on plant growth, chemical composition and green pod yield and its components, as well as, pod quality (pod physical characters and nutritive value of seeds) of pea cv. Lincoln. The results showed that foliar fertilization with nitrofoska and bio-fertilization with nitrobein increased most of plant growth traits, minerals content of shoots (N,P and K as a concentration), yield and its components, as well as physical pod characters and nutritive value of seeds (N, P, K contents, protein, ascorbic acid, TSS and total carbohydrates), followed by nitofoska + potassiomag, then nitofoska + nitrobein+potassiomag, respectively, in most cases. Conclusively, it could be concluded that the combination treatment between nitrofoska and nitrobein, followed by nitrofoska and potassiomag , as well as, nitrofoska + nitrobein + potassiomag, respectively, enhancing the most studied characters of peas.

TWO FIELD experiments were carried out during two summer ……season of 2012 and 2013 at the experimental farm of Kaha Station, Qalubia Governorate, to study the influence of foliar nutrition with some natural stimulants on snap bean plants c.v Poulista using ratios of compost tea 1:10, 1:20 and 1:30 (compost: water), licorice extract, yeast extract stimufol compound as well as hammer compound (seaweed extract) and water as a control. The results indicated that spraying with licorice extract had the highest values on number of leaves/ plant, leaf area, fresh and dry/ plant weight and total pods yield, followed by spraying with compost tea at the ratio of (1:30) and yeast extract, respectively, while the treatment of spraying with water gave the lowest values. The best treatments concerning the fresh and dry pod weight were licorice extract and compost tea (1:20). There was no significant effect of all treatments on plant length, pod length or pod diameter, total leaf chlorophyll, N %, K % and protein % on pods during the two growing seasons. Concerning P % in pods its found that using compost tea (1:20) followed by licorice extract were the best treatments .While, licorice and yeast extracts resulted in the highest values of total sugars in both growing seasons, respectively. Generally, spraying bean plants with any of the experiment treatments, especially licorice extract, compost tea (1:30), yeast and compost tea (1:20), respectively encourage green pod yield with best quality.

Nutrient Budgeting, Economics and Energetics of Cowpea under Potassium and Phosphorus Management

Low availability of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in acidic soil is a major constraint for crop production. Cowpea was grown under split-plot design with three levels of K and P (viz., 100%, 75% and 50% of recommended dose). Green pod and stover yield was 20.9 and 16.9% higher with 100% K over 50% K application. Similarly, 100% P had 20.2% higher green pod and 16.6% higher stover yield over 50% P. Production efficiency was found higher with 100% K and P (48.6 and 49.0 kg ha-1 day-1 respectively) followed by 75% K. The actual gain of N, P and K, and balance were higher with the increase of K and P levels but reverse in case of gross and net return, and BCR. The energy productivity and energy use efficiency were higher on 100% K and P. Cowpea on acid soil along with 100% recommended dose of 40 kg K and 60 kg P ha-1 showed highest yield along with soil fertility restoration as well as reduced the cost of inorganic fertilizer, higher BCR (1.89) and energy requirement.
