con di tions of Madhya Pradesh at farmers field in five lo ca tions at Khargone dis trict of Madhya
Pradesh dur ing two con sec u tive spring grow ing sea son of 2011 and 2012. Wa ter melon was
grown on sil ver-on-black plas tic mulch and with out mulch field. The main vine length, num ber of
branches, num ber of fruits per plant, av er age fruit weight and yield per hect are were re corded. It
was no ticed that plas tic mulch had sig nif i cant re sponse on veg e ta tive growth, yield and net profit.
Plants in plas tic mulch treat ment had higher yields as cribed due to higher length of vine, num ber
of branches, num ber of fruits per plant and av er age fruit weight. The study re vealed that
sil ver-on-black plas tic film could be con du cive and ben e fi cial in en hanc ing the yield which lead to
75.29% and 82.10% in crease over farm ers prac tice dur ing 2011 and 2012, re spec tively with a
mean value of 78.70% in crease over farm ers prac tice and net profit of wa ter melon found suit able

AB STRACT: The ef fects of vary ing plant ing den si ties on ear li ness and fruit and seed yield in
musk melon were in ves ti gated dur ing 2012 and 2013 at Uni ver sity Seed Farm, Ladhowal of PAU,
Ludhiana. The re sults in di cated that the wider plant spac ing of 1.1 plants per lin ear fur row me ter
not only pro duced early har vest but the vines were also healthy and lon ger than the oth ers.
There was sig nif i cant in crease in to tal yield with higher plant ing den sity of 3.3 and 2.2 plants per
lin ear fur row me ter over rec om mended plant ing den sity of 1.7. But there was de crease in the
mar ket able yield at the higher plant pop u la tion of 3.3 and 2.2 plants per lin ear fur row me ter. The
higher plant ing den sity of 3.3 plants per lin ear fur row me ter had max i mum num ber of fruits per
unit area and also pro duced the bold est seed among all the treat ments and thus had high seed
yield in dex. There fore, if the ul ti mate aim is get ting the max i mum seed yield from muskmelon,
the planting density of 3.3 proved to be the best.

AB STRACT: An ex per i ment was con ducted to as sess the ef fect of post-har vest ap pli ca tion of
Cal cium Chlo ride on the stor age life of mango (Mangifera in dica L.) var. Dushehari fruits. The
fully ma ture mango fruits were har vested and treated with dif fer ent con cen tra tions of CaCl
2
viz.
0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% and stored for dif fer ent days viz. 3, 6, 9, and 12 days at room
tem per a ture. The re sults showed that post-har vest ap pli ca tion of Cal cium Chlo ride(6%) had
proved quite ef fec tive in en hanc ing the shelf life of Dushehari mango fruits up to 12 days at room
tem per a ture.

AB STRACT: An in ves ti ga tion was un der taken to study the ef fect of dif fer ent con cen tra tions of
IBA on growth and root ing of Cit rus limon cut tings un der Garhwal re gion.The hard wood cut tings
of Cit rus limon cv. Pant Lemon were col lected from healthy vig or ous shoots of 3-5 year old
plants. The cut tings were planted in one kg ca pac ity poly thene bags con tain ing soil, sand and
FYM mix ture in 1:1:1 (v/v) ra tio. The stem cut tings of Cit rus limon were treated with IBA so lu tions
of dif fer ent con cen tra tions i.e. 1000, 1500, 2000 ppm and con trol (tap wa ter only) by quick dip
method. The ex per i ment was rep li cated thrice with 10 cut tings in each treat ment. Among all the
treat ments, the num ber of sprouted cut tings (6.29), length and di am e ter of sprout (23.77cm and
1.52 cm, re spec tively), num ber of sprouts, num ber of leaves and num ber of roots/cut ting (17.77
and 23.00 and 52.42, re spec tively), and av er age max i mum length and di am e ter of roots (26.33
cm and 1.33 cm, re spec tively) were no ticed max i mum in treat ment with 2000 ppm con cen tra tion
of IBA.

AB STRACT : Max i mum per cent age of cut tings sprouted (24.33%) and max i mum num ber of
roots per cut ting (7.67) were re corded with treat ment IBA 2000 ppm+PHB 1000 ppm. The
treat ment with PHB 1000 ppm re corded min i mum per cent age of sprout ing (8.83 %). Max i mum
num ber of sprouts per cut ting (7.67) was ob served with T
7
and its min i mum num ber (2.67) was
noted un der con trol. The length and di am e ter of pri mary root (9.33 cm and 2.80 mm) were also
noted max i mum un der 2000 ppm IBA + 1000 PHB. The di am e ter of sprout (3.53 mm) and the
size of leaves in terms of their length and width (5.67 cm, and 3.83 cm, re spec tively) was
max i mum with IBA 1500 ppm + PHB 1000 ppm. The max i mum dry mat ter ac cu mu la tion in the
roots (132.33 mg) was with IBA 2000 ppm whereas, the cut ting treated with IBA 2000 ppm +
PHB 1000 ppm ex pressed the highest survival (77.00%) of rooted cuttings.
