Ph.D Title : Effect of variety, maturity and season on composition and quality of musts and wines (1982) Chikkasubbanna, UAS, Bangalore, Guide : Dr.K.L.Chadha The effect of variety and maturity on the composition of grapes and wines of Bangalore Blue, Thompson Seedless, Black Champa and Malvasia Bianca Di-wapolis was studied. Fruits from these four varieties were harvested at five different maturity levels and the wines were prepared. Both the musts and wines were analyzed for various organic and inorganic constituents. Distinct variation in organic and inorganic constituents was noticed due to variety, maturity and season. Among the nitrogenous compounds, total nitrogen, protein and proline showed an increasing trend with maturity. Ammonia content was found to decrease in Thompson Seedless and Black Champa whereas in Bangalore Blue and Malvasia Bianca Di-wapolis it increased with maturity. Tannin content increased in Thompson Seedless, Bangalore Blue and Malvasia Bianca Di-wapolis while in Black Champa it did not show much variation with maturity. Inorganic constituents such as phosphorus, calcium and magnesium increased with maturity in all the varieties. Potassium content increased in Thompson Seedless and Bangalore Blue while in Black Champa and Malvasia Bianca Di-wapolis, it remained unchanged. Iron content increased in Thompson Seedless but not in other varieties. Zinc and Manganese remained constant while copper showed variation between samplings. In wine samples total acidity, tartaric acid and malic acid decreased while pH increased with maturity. The wine prepared from third, fourth and fifth stage of maturity scored higher rankings than wines from earlier samples. The results suggested that a Brix/Acid ratio of about 30±5 is near optimum for making good quality dry wines from these varieties for this region. 1 Ph.D Title : Effect of time and different doses of N and K on growth, yield and quality of Thompson Seedless grape (Vitis vinifera L.) (1983) S.D.Shikhamany, UAS, Bangalore, Guide : Dr.K.L.Chadha A field experiment was carried out with the object of improving the efficiency of nitrogenous and potassic fertilizers by split application in Thompson Seedless grape. Four annual doses, viz., 250, 500, 750 and 1000 kg each of N and K2O/ha were tried in 12 split combinations. Application of potassium in April resulted in increased prunings weight in the following April. Higher weights of prunings were associated with reduced number of bunches/vine. Increasing levels of N and K2O resulted in reduced length of the internode below the index leaf in December. Internodal length in December was negatively related to the cane and vine productivity and Brix-yield. Area of the index leaf in May and petiole length in June were positively correlated with mean bunch weight at harvest, though they did not vary significantly among the treatments. Petiole nutrient contents in June did not vary significantly among the treatments, while the interaction effects on the petiole nutrient contents in December were significant. Reciprocal antagonism between N and K was observed. Petiole NO3-N and total N contents correlated positively with the mean bunch weight at harvest. Through the leaf chlorophyll ‘b’ content in December did not vary significantly among the treatments, it was positively related to the reducing sugars content of the berries. Growth and vigour of the vines under all treatment combinations were far in excess than that required for productivity and affected it adversely. A cane load of 50-60/vine was found to be optimum for vines spaced at 3m x 3m. An annual dose of 500 kg each of N and K2O at a P2O5 dose of 500 kg/ha was found to be optimum. Split application of either N or K2O during the growth season was not found to be favourable. 2 Ph.D Title : Studies on growth and productivity of acid lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swing) cv. Kagzi as affected by moisture regimes (1985) H.P.Singh, UAS, Bangalore, Guide : Dr.K.L.Chadha Fruit yield and quality were significantly correlated with consumptive use of water and best fit of line was obtained with quadratic equation for yield and physical quality. The consumptive use of water at productive stage was estimated to be 875 mm year -1. At young age, liner correlation existed between plant growth and consumptive use. Best water use efficiency was obtained at 20 KPa soil moisture potential. Stomatal intensity, cuticular thickness, specific leaf weight and transmission coefficient increased under moisture stress while stomatal size and absorption coefficient decreased. Flushing and leaf fall were cyclic and were affected by soil moisture potential. Mild moisture stress (pre-dawn leaf RWC of 90.97 to 93.00%) followed by alleviation increased the intensity of flushing and flowering. Changes in fruit weight and size exhibited sigmoid pattern and moisture stress at an early period of fruit development (I and II stage) was critical. Moisture stress caused increase in TSS, acidity, sugar and delayed the maturity. Irrigation at 10 KPa increased the yield significantly. Low soil moisture coupled with high evaporative demand caused the accumulation of NO3-N in leaf. Accumulation and partitioning of dry matter, protein, carbohydrates and nutrients were affected by soil moisture potential. Excessive soil moisture at active period of growth was more detrimental for growth than moisture stress as indicated by leaf area increment recovery in conductance. Seed germination percent and radicle growth were significantly reduced with increasing moisture stress monitored by polythelene glycol. 3 Ph.D Title : Studies on growth and development of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruit and seed with special reference to hard and soft seededness (1986) B.Prasanna Kumar, UAS, Bangalore, Guide : Dr.A.G.Purohit Studies were conducted in four pomegranates varieties on time of initiation and degree of lignification of seed testa which causes hard seededness. The physicochemical changes during growth and development of fruits were also investigated. Fruit growth pattern in pomegranate followed a simple sigmoid curve almost approaching a liner relationship. Length and breadth of the fruit, fresh weight of rind and weight of seed increased continuously from fruit set to maturity. During most stages of fruit development, the seeds constituted roughly half of the fruit weight. Dry matter content in fruits increased continuously till 50 days of fruit growth and then gradually declined towards maturity, but it seeds, dry matter content increased continuously from fruit set to maturity. Specific gravity of fruits was higher in early stage of fruit development and then gradually declined. TSS increased gradually during fruit development and acid content decreased with maturation of fruits. Both reducing and total sugars continued to increased during the development of fruits. The nitrogen and phosphorus content of both fruits and seeds was maximum and highest immediately after fruit set and second highest nitrogen content was seen at maturity. The potassium content of fruit was highest at 10 and 120 days of fruit growth. The seeds contained very high potassium content both immediately after fruit set and also at maturity. The micronutrient contents of fruits were high initially, after fruit set, they declined in the intermediate stages and finally reached maximum levels at maturity. The seeds had maximum micronutrient immediately after fruit set. Histological studies revealed that after 40 days of seed growth lignification started and it was more pronounced in hard seeded varieties. 4 Ph.D Title : Investigations on the effect of rootstocks in Anab-e-Shahi grape (Vitis vinifera L.) (1988) B.M.Chandrasekhara Reddy, UAS, Bangalore, Guide : Dr.K.L.Chadha An investigation was carried out on the effect of roostocks on Anab-e-Shahi grape employing the rootstocks St. George, Teleki 5-A, Dogridge, 1616, 1613 and Gulabi in comparison with own-rooted vines to identify the most suitable rootstock. Rootstocks Dogridge and 1616 were found to impart vigour to Anab-e-Shahi grape but adversely affected the yield and yield attributes. Rootstock Gulabi lowered most of the vigour attributes and resulted in the highest yield. St.George and 1613 similar vigour attributes as own-rooted vines, but influenced the yield favourably. Rootstocks Gulabi, 1613 and St. George increased the yields through increased fruitfulness of canes. Fruit quality parameters were not influenced by any of the root stocks. Higher levels of total and NC3- N were associated with lower yields in the rootstocks Dogridge and 1616 and it was reverse in Gulabi.

  • Soil Conservation

    Soil Conservation

    Soil conservation Erosion barriers on disturbed slope, Marin County, California Contour plowing in Pennsylvania in 1938. The rows formed slow surface water run-off during rainstorms to prevent soil erosion and allows the water time to infiltrate into the soil. Soil conservation is the prevention of loss of the top most layer of the soil from erosion or prevention of reduced fertility caused by over usage, acidification, salinization or other chemical soil contamination. Slash-and-burn and other unsustainable methods of subsistence farming are practiced in some lesser developed areas. A sequel to the deforestation is typically large scale erosion, loss of soil nutrients and sometimes total desertification. Techniques for improved soil conservation include crop rotation, cover crops, conservation tillage and planted windbreaks, affect both erosion and fertility. When plants die, they decay and become part of the soil. Code 330 defines standard methods recommended by the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service. Farmers have practiced soil conservation for millennia. In Europe, policies such as the Common Agricultural Policy are targeting the application of best management practices such as reduced tillage, winter cover crops,[1] plant residues and grass margins in order to better address the soil conservation. Political and economic action is further required to solve the erosion problem. A simple governance hurdle concerns how we value the land and this can be changed by cultural adaptation.[2] Contour ploughing Contour ploughing orients furrows following the contour lines of the farmed area. Furrows move left and right to maintain a constant altitude, which reduces runoff. Contour ploughing was practiced by the ancient Phoenicians, and is effective for slopes between two and ten percent.[3] Contour ploughing can increase crop yields from 10 to 50 percent, partially as a result of greater soil retention.[4] Terrace farming Terracing is the practice of creating nearly level areas in a hillside area.

    Tomato Integrated Pest Management : an Ecological Guide

    Why this guide? About this guide This ecological guide is developed by the FAO Inter-Country Programme for IPM in vegetables in South and Southeast Asia. It is an updated version of the Tomato IPM Ecological Guide dated June 1996. The objective of this ecological guide is to provide general technical background information on tomato production, supplemented with field experiences from the National IPM programmes connected to FAOs Vegetable ICP, and from related organizations active in farmer participatory IPM. Reference is made to exercise protocols developed by Dr. J. Vos of CABI Bioscience (formerly IIBC/CAB International) for FAO. The exercises are described in Vegetable IPM Exercise book, 1998 which contains examples of practical training exercises that complement the technical background information from this guide. Who will use this guide? National IPM programmes, IPM trainers, and others interested in IPM training and farmer participatory research. How to use this guide The ecological guides are technical reference manuals. They give background information and refer to exercises/studies that can be done in the field during training of trainers (TOT), farmers field schools (FFS) and action research to better understand a topic. The information in the guides is not specific for one country. Rather, this guide is an inspirational guide that provides a wealth of technical information and gives ideas of IPM practices from several countries, mainly from the Asian Region, to inspire IPM people world-wide to conduct discovery-based IPM training and to set up experiments to see if such practices would work in their countries and continents of assignment.

Continuous cropping obstacle is a big problem of Strawberry planting. Continuous cropping obstacle leads to the accumulation of phenolic acids, imbalance of soil microorganism, deterioration of physical and chemical properties, resulting in sharp decline in Strawberry yield and quality. At present, the prevention and cure of continuous cropping obstacle of Strawberry is an urgent problem to be solved. The pathogen does not produce drug resistance, is safe to fresh fruit and does not pollute the environment. 1 Introduction The continuous cropping disease of strawberry was the main factor restricting strawberry production at Strawberry is one of the most widely cultivated fruit present, and the disease was prevalent in strawberry trees in the world.

    DURING FROZEN STORAGE by ANGELA RINCON

    EFFECT OF PREFREEZING TREATMENTS ON QUALITY OF MANGO (Manguifera Indica L.) DURING FROZEN STORAGE by ANGELA RINCON (Under the direction of William L. Kerr) ABSTRACT At the moment there is a high demand for high-quality fruit ingredients to be used in many food formulations such as pastry and confectionery products, ice cream, frozen desserts and sweets, fruit salads, cheese and yoghurt. The overall objective was to improve quality of frozen mango using two types of food cryoprotection: one was the reduction of water content of the fruit (osmotic dehydration) and the other was the formulation of mango pulp with carbohydrates of different molecular weight to increase frozen stability. Osmotic dehydration was able to modify quality parameters of slices before and after frozen storage. Values for some parameters such as vitamin C, lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and firmness for non osmotically dehydrated slices were significantly higher than osmotically dehydrated slices. However, treatments carried out with osmotic solutions (especially those with high concentrations of sucrose) improved significantly the quality of mango slices after frozen storage. Higher moisture losses and solid gain values were reported for slices from the highest osmotic solution concentration. Thus, slices dipped in 30oBrix were better protected against freezing damage. Effects of sucrose concentration on the slices and ripening stage on frozen-thawed mango flavor perception were determined. Six flavor descriptors (color, flavor, sweetness, sourness, firmness and juiciness) were evaluated by a sensory trained panel. All descriptors were affected by sugar content and ripening stage. To study the effect of mango fruit composition on frozen stability, five pulp samples were prepared and evaluated in terms of glass transition temperature modification and its influence on ascorbic acid retention.

Mango has been cultivated in India for at least 4,000 years and more than 1,000 varieties are recognized (Mukherjee, 1953). The large variability that is exhibited by mango is due to seed propagation and the high heterozygosity present (Iyer and Schnell, 2009).

  • Classification of Botany and Use of Plants

    Classification of Botany and Use of Plants

    SECTION 1: CLASSIFICATION OF BOTANY AND USE OF PLANTS 1. Introduction Botany refers to the scientific study of the plant kingdom. As a branch of biology, it mainly accounts for the science of plants or ‘phytobiology’. The main objective of the this section is for participants, having completed their training, to be able to: 1. Identify and classify various types of herbs 2. Choose the appropriate categories and types of herbs for breeding and planting 1 2. Botany 2.1 Branches – Objectives – Usability Botany covers a wide range of scientific sub-disciplines that study the growth, reproduction, metabolism, morphogenesis, diseases, and evolution of plants. Subsequently, many subordinate fields are to appear, such as: Systematic Botany: its main purpose the classification of plants Plant morphology or phytomorphology, which can be further divided into the distinctive branches of Plant cytology, Plant histology, and Plant and Crop organography Botanical physiology, which examines the functions of the various organs of plants A more modern but equally significant field is Phytogeography, which associates with many complex objects of research and study. Similarly, other branches of applied botany have made their appearance, some of which are Phytopathology, Phytopharmacognosy, Forest Botany, and Agronomy Botany, among others. 2 Like all other life forms in biology, plant life can be studied at different levels, from the molecular, to the genetic and biochemical, through to the study of cellular organelles, cells, tissues, organs, individual plants, populations and communities of plants. At each of these levels a botanist can deal with the classification (taxonomy), structure (anatomy), or function (physiology) of plant life.
