Abstract The
first line adaptive trial was undertaken during 1998-99 to 2017-2018 at Vikram Nagar, Kalyanpur, Kanpur
in area jurisdiction
of C.S.Azad University of Agriculture
and Technology, Kanpur. The main objective was to develop high yielding
hybrid cultivar of brinjal under natural farming.
The secondary objective was to provide the good quality of brinjal fruits to the consumers for maintenance of their
good health. The experimental soil was sandy loam, having low fertility
status but more responsible to uptake the plant nutrients from well rotted
applied FYM. The hybrid genotype Harit Bundela developed from Pusa
purple long (male parent) and local cultivar of Bundelkhand
(female parents). The newly develop genotype Harit
Bundela is perennial brinjal
variety. The growth parameter measured in term of height of plant was recorded
higher in cv. Harit Bundela.
The length of fruit, girth of fruit, fruits/plant and fruit weight/plant was
found maximum in cultivar Harit Bundela over the Pusa
purple long and Budelkhand local. The
pooled yield of Harit Bundela
displayed the highest fruits yield by 700.00 q/ha which was higher in
comparison to male parents Pusa purple long (300.00
q/ha) and female parent local cv. Bundelkhand
(410.00 q/ha). The better source-sink relationship was found in newly
developed cv. Harit Bundela
under natural farming. Keywords: Bundelkhand local,

Abstract A
field experiment was carried out in Rabi season during the year 2020-21 at
the research farm of Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Gwalior,
(M.P.) to study the economically feasibility ofintegrated
weed management in mustard. Mustard variety RH-749 was sown at 6 november 2020 at the spacing of 30 × 10 cm with nine
treatments were evaluated in Randomized Block Design with three replications
with plot net sizes of 3.0 m × 2.60 m. Significantly lower values of weed
parameters such as viz., monocot and dicot
population, weed dry weight at 30, 60 and 90 DAS, and weed biomass at harvest
were observed in the treatments T8 (weed free), which remain statistically at
par with pendimethalin (PE) 1000 g/ha+ One hand
weeding at 40 DAS (T3), HW & IC at 20 & 40 DAS (T4) and pendimethalin (PE) 1000 g/ha (T1), However, significantly
higher values of monocot and dicot population at
30, 60 and 90 DAS under weedy check (T9). The economics point of view,
maximum net return with pendimethalin (PE) 1000
g/ha (T1), followed by weed free, pendimethalin
(PE) 1000 g/ha+ One hand weeding at 40 DAS, Quizalofopethyl
(PoE) 50 g/ha at 30 DAS and Two hand weeding at 20
& 40 DAS, respectively. However, the minimum gross and net return was
achieved with weedy check and the highest B:C of
3.21 was obtained with Quizalofopethyl (PoE) 50 g/ha at 30 DAS followed by oxyfluorfen
(PE) 150 g/ha (3.14), clodinafop propargyl (PoE) 60 g/ha at 30
DAS (3.14), pendimethalin (PE) 1000 g/ha (3.13) and
propaquizafop (PoE) 100
g/ha at 30 DAS (3.05), respectively. Whereas, the lowest B:C
of 2.01 was obtained under weedy check. Keywords: Fertilizer,

Abstract The
present study was undertaken during mid monsoon season and start of winter
season of 2005 and 2006 in the partnership of farmers in selected vegetable
village Pal of Mainpuri district U.P. for
generating new technology. The main objective of this study was to increase
the farm families net income upto two fold and BCR
about nine times. The secondary objective was to reape
the green leaves with tender stems of fenugreek and Indian dill in early period
for higher yield and obtaining better market price under changing climate.
The pilot area was light loam with low fertility status. The green leaves and
tender stems of menthi was recorded by 76.00 q/ha
under early sowing, which was higher over conventional/ farmers practice
(71.00 q/ha). Likewise, early planting of Indian dill gave higher yield of
green leaves and tender stems by 41.00 q/ha as compared to conventional
practice (34.00 q/a). The early planting of menthi
gave higher net return (Rs. 6,83,350/ha) and BCR
(1:9.92) in comparison to farmers practice, where net return and BCR were
found Rs. 3,49,350/ha and 1:5.55, respectively. The notable higher net return Rs. 3,63,670/ha and BCR 1:8.85 were recorded under early
planting period of Indian dill, while lowest was noted under conventional
practice. The early planting of menthi and Indian
dill gave higher income to the farmers by two fold and more than two fold,
respectively. Keywords: Better
market rate, Conventional planting, Early planting, Indian dill, Menthi |

Abstract The
introductive field experiment was laidout during
summer season of 2001-02 and 2002-03 at village Rajpura,
Mainpuri under National Agricultural Technology
Project, Zonal Agriculture Research Station, Mainpuri, C.S. Azad University of Agriculture and
Technology, Kanpur for making KVK model. The main objective was to utilize
loamy sand soil in cultivation of valuable crop of muskmelon. The secondary
objective was to replace the low value melons with high value crop of
muskmelon and uplift the farm families from poverty line. The experimental
soil was sandy loam, contains poor plant nutrients but suitable for
cultivation of muskmelon. The four treatments i.e., 60 kg N + 60 kg P2O5
+ 60 kg K2O + 25 q FYM/ha, 90 kg N + 60 kg P2O5
+ 60 kg K2O + 50 q FYM/ha, 120 kg N + 60 kg P2O5
+ 60 kg K2O + 100 q FYM/ha and 120 kg N + 60 kg P2O5
+ 60 kg K2O + 150 q FYM/ha were tested. The muskmelon cv. Local,
farming maturity called by name of Mathur was used
in experiment. Results displayed that application of 120 kg N + 60 kg P2O5
+ 60 kg K2O + 150 q FYM/ha registered
higher fruits yield of muskmelon by 235.00 q/ha, which was higher in
comparison to other tested treatments. The lowest yield was harvested under
60 kg N + 60 kg P2O5 + 60 kg K2O + 25 q
FYM/ha (198.00 q/ha). Application of 90 kg N + 60 kg P2O5
+ 60 kg K2O + 50 q FYM/ha and 120 kg N + 60 kg P2O5
+ 60 kg K2O + 100 q FYM/ha produced fruits of muskmelon by 211.20
q/ha and 223.00 q/ha, respectively. The highest gross return Rs. 470000/ha,
net return Rs. 420650/ha and BCR 1:9.52 were found under application of 120
kg N + 60 kg P2O5 + 60 kg K2O + 150 q FYM/ha
over 60 kg N + 60 kg P2O5 + 60 kg K2O + 25 q
FYM/ha. The other two treatments i.e. T2 & T3 gave
gross return and net return between these two limits except BCR. Keywords: Fold

(2022) The effects of climate change on aquaculture and fisheries: implications,
adaptation and mitigation Simran Kaur1, Kamlesh Kumar Yadav2

Abstract There
is a rapid increase in global population and seafood demand but at the same
time decline in fisheries is also witnessed. Fisheries production crossed a
160 million tons mark as a consequence of aquaculture production. Aquaculture will play a crucial role to fulfil the growing demand of sea food and other equities
associated with it that shall ensure food security and can feed the booming
population of the world. But mere dependence on Aquaculture for food demands
can stress the immediate environment of aquaculture and will show effects on
the ecosystem services sooner or later. The stressed system will make it
highly vulnerable to climatic changes.This shall
make us uncertain about global aquatic net primary production and the
transfer of this production via food chain to human consumption.Adaptation
strategies can be of immense help.For reducing the
exposure to stressors or rather mitigation of stressors, engineering and
management solutions and techniques can be put to practice via environmental
control. Research advancements consisting of combination of approaches,
empirical studies and observations at farm level will help us understand the
challenges that climatic changes shall pose on aquaculture and fisheries as a
whole. Long term mitigation methods combined with short term adaptation strategies
can be the only method with which the aquaculture sector can sustain its
production. Keywords: Fisheries;
