80% Red / 20% Blue maintained @ 100 µ mol m -2 s-1 using royal blue light @ 455 nm and redlight @ 640 nm wavelengths and compared with short day (SD) length. Differ ence in growth andflowering response were also in ves ti gated. Stem length is de termined as a function of internodelength which could be the function of attaining min imum num ber of leaves required forexpressing the diurnal response using LEDs. Chrysanthemum plants exhibited a strong diurnalresponse at tained in leaves and trans mit ted to the apex and took minimum (28 days) andmaximum time (61 days) with an exposure to LEDs with (15h) and with out (11h) addi tional bluespectrum, respectively. However, bud in duction was possible ear liest due to low red/far ratio inthe extended ex posure of plants with blue LEDs.

ABSTRACT: Field exper iments were con ducted for two con secutive years on me dium blackcalcareous soil of Horticultural Instructional Farm, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh.The ex periment was laid out in factorial ran dom ized block design with twenty four treatmentsreplicated three times. The treatments consisted of two va ri eties of chrysanthe mum viz., IIHR-6(V1) and Shyamal (V2), three lev els of nitro gen (100, 200 and 300 N kg ha-1), two levels ofphos phorus (100 and 150 P2O5 kg ha-1) and two levels of potash (100 and 150 K2O kg ha-1).Both the varieties significantly influenced growth and flowering parameters, where, plant height,number of branches per plant and leaf area were observed higher in the variety IIHR-6 duringboth the years and in pooled re sults; whereas higher fresh and dry weight of plant, weight of 10

flowers, flowering span and dry weight of flow ers were recorded in the variety Shyamal. The latervariety also took more days for first flower bud ini tiation and first flower open. Application ofnitrogen at 300 kg ha

-1 re corded sig nif icantly highest plant height, number of branches per plant,

leaf area, fresh and dry weight of plant, flowering span, total fresh and dry weight of flower,weight of 10 flowers and diameter of flower during the first year, second year and in pooled data.The dose @ 300 N kg ha

-1 also took less days for first flower bud initiation and first flower open.

Phosphorus also played a signif icant role in improv ing all of these at trib utes at higher levelexcept, leaf area, fresh weight of plant, num ber of days taken for first flower open and flow eringspan. Effect of pot ash was failed to influence all of these growth and flowering parametersduring both the years and in pooled results also.

ABSTRACT: The study was un dertaken dur ing the sea son of 2009-10 to estimate the cost ofcultivation of marigold flower and returns and marketing margins of different middleman involvedin mari gold flower trade in Kannauj dis trict of Uttar Pradesh. The study was based on infor ma tioncollected from randomly 60 marigold flower growing farmers, com mis sion agent cum wholesalerand re tailers. The overall cost of cul tivation of marigold flower was estimated as rs. 7365 perhectare. The over all gross income and av erage net income from mari gold crop was estimated tobe Rs. 121792 and Rs. 48141 per hect are, re spec tively. The aver age return per rupeeinvestment was estimated as Rs. 1.66, which shows that marigold cultivation was highlyprofit able in the se lected aea. Out of two marketing channels, Chan nel-I (producer-commis sion-re tailer-consumer) was the important channel from producers point of view, whereproducers received more percentage share (35.68 per cent) in consumer’s rupee than thechan nel-II (31.95 per cent). The to tal market ing cost was Rs. 6.90 and Rs. 8.63 per kilogram ofmarigold flower for channe-l and channel-II, re spectively. The ma jor item of market ing cost werethe value of quantity loss and labour charges. In channel-I retailers earned a margin of 10.35 and

34.69 per cent of the price paid by the consumers.Published in : HortFlora Re search Spectrum, Vol. 2(3) : 220-224 (2013)

ABSTRACT: Seven novel insecti cides (imidacloprid, fipronil, indoxacarb, endosulfan,malathion, Roket and neemarin) with an un treated con trol were tested for minimizing Eariasvittella infes tation in okra crop. Three sprayings, first at 30 days af ter sow ing and sec ond andthird sub sequent sprayings at 15 days interval were done. Data were recorded on 10

th day af ter

each spray ing. All the treatments were found effec tive in minimiz ing fruit infesta tion over controland indoxacarb was proved to be the best one among all the treat ments. Af ter 10th day of first,second and third spraying, infes ta tion was 14.47, 2.68 and 5.68 per cent, re spectively. Whileneemarin was lesser ef fec tive hav ing higher fruit infes ta tion of 47.38, 30.53 and 33.52 per cent,respectively over control after 10th day of first, second and third spraying. The yield of okra fruitsshowed that indoxacarb recorded the high est fresh fruit yield i.e. 7.00 kg per plot (58.33 q/ha)

with 42.86 per cent increased yield as com pared to control. While neemarin recorded min imumfresh fruit yield i.e. 5.27 kg per plot (43.89 q/ha) with 24.05 per cent in creased fruit yield ascompared with control.

ABSTRACT: The effects of varying planting densities on earliness and fruit and seed yield inmusk melon were in ves ti gated dur ing 2012 and 2013 at Uni ver sity Seed Farm, Ladhowal of PAU,Ludhiana. The results indicated that the wider plant spacing of 1.1 plants per lin ear fur row me ternot only pro duced early harvest but the vines were also healthy and longer than the others.There was signif icant in crease in total yield with higher planting density of 3.3 and 2.2 plants perlinear fur row me ter over recommended planting density of 1.7. But there was decrease in themarket able yield at the higher plant pop ulation of 3.3 and 2.2 plants per linear fur row me ter. The

higher plant ing density of 3.3 plants per linear fur row meter had maximum num ber of fruits perunit area and also produced the boldest seed among all the treat ments and thus had high seedyield in dex. Therefore, if the ulti mate aim is get ting the maximum seed yield from muskmelon,the planting density of 3.3 proved to be the best.
