Late Season Sugarcane Genotype as Affected by Irrigation Water Deficit at the Yield Formation Stage in Ferké, North-Eastern Ivory Coast | Chapter 12 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

In order to evaluate sugarcane growth and yield response to irrigation water deficit imposed during the yield creation stage, a field trial was conducted in Ferké 2 Sugar mill plantations in northeastern Ivory Coast. The first ratoon harvest was a non-flowering late-season sugarcane cultivar (Co957). The study used a randomised complete block design with four

Study on the Biomass Production Assessment of Wheat Varieties under Semi-arid Conditions of Rajasthan through Using Info Crop Model | Chapter 11 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

The current study used a three-replication double split plot design with 36 treatment combinations, including main plots: irrigation levels (0.6 Etc, 0.8 Etc, 1.0 ETc, and 1.2 ETc), sub plots: varieties (Raj 4120, Raj 4079, and Raj 4238), and sub-sub plots: sowing dates (15th Nov., 30th Nov., and 15th Dec.). The Info Crop model was

Investigating the Effect of Value Added Product from Sugar Industry as a Potassium Source on Growth and Yield Attributes of Maize (Zea mays L.) | Chapter 10 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

India is the world’s largest producer and user of sugar. The wastewater produced by molasses-based distilleries, as well as their product (alcohol), is known as spent wash. It has an acidic nature, with high BOD and COD values. The sugar business generates value added product by incinerating spent wash, which produces ash powder that is

Assessment of Postharvest Management of Frafra Potato (Solenostemon rotundifolius (Poir.) J. K. Morton) | Chapter 09 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

The Frafra potato (Solenostemon rotundifolius (Poir.) J.K. Morton) is an underutilised tuber crop grown in Ghana, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso, and Mali’s interior Savanna areas. When compared to other tuber crops, the crop has agronomic advantages in low soils and yield advantages with limited production inputs. The study focuses on the crop’s most important

Forecasting of Losses Due to Pod Borer, Pod Fly and Yield of Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) for Central Zone (CZ) of India by Using Artificial Neural Network | Chapter 08 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) is a valuable food legume that may be cultivated with minimal inputs under rainfed conditions. Starch, protein, calcium, manganese, crude fibre, fat, trace elements, and minerals abound in pigeonpea. The need of having a timely forecast of productivity and pod damage caused by key insect-pests in pigeonpea has become a serious

Castor Based Intercropping System for Sustainable Income under Rainfed Ecosystem | Chapter 07 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is a major industrial oilseed crop that grows well in rainfed and limited-irrigated environments. Castor is mostly grown in Tamil Nadu as an intercrop, mixed crop for long-term income in both rainfed and irrigated systems. As a result, the current study was conducted in Tiruchirappalli district, Tamil Nadu, to examine farmers’

Study on Apple Storage in Ultra-Low Oxygen Cold Store | Chapter 06 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

The current research focuses on the problem of apple storage and the necessity for improvements in our culture. We can store apples in a variety of ways, but storage in an ultra-low oxygen (ULO) cold store has demonstrated a large improvement in the holding shelf life of apple cultivars. Apple storage in controlled atmosphere cold

Determining the Effect of Storage, Moisture and Temperature on Vigour and Viability of Rapeseed and Mustard | Chapter 05 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

The primary goal of rape and mustard cultivation is to increase oil content while also providing a significant amount of protein. Rapeseed and mustard are widely recognised as a highly promising source of edible oil, which can be made available all year by increasing agricultural yield through scientific technological intervention and extension initiatives. However, one

Determining the Effect of Front Line Demonstrations on Trellis Method of Cultivation in Tomato (Solanum lycopercicum Mill.) in Khammam District of Telangana, India | Chapter 04 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

The current research was carried out in the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Wyra adopted villages in Telangana’s Khammam District. Tomatoes are a major vegetable crop in the district, although yields are low due to poor quality, early deterioration, pests, and disease outbreaks. KVK, Wyra made an effort to address the problem of lowering pests and disease

Total Anthocyanin Pigments in Thai Herb Vegetable | Chapter 01 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

Teaw is a popular herb vegetable in the north-east of Thailand (Cratoxylum formosum). Teaw is a magnificent Thai vegetable that is primarily grown in Thailand’s north-east. The leaf extract was discovered to have strong antioxidant and antimutagenic capabilities when compared to numerous species of indigenous Thai plants. The researchers wanted to look at total anthocyanin
