Quatre g om tries de plantation, savoir 15x10 cm, 15x15 cm, 20x10 cm et 20x15 cm, ont t conserv es dans les parcelles principales et quatre niveaux d'azote, savoir 0 kg N/ha, 60 kg/N ha, 120 kg N/ha et 180 kg/N ha, dans les parcelles secondaires. L'exp rience a t r p t e trois fois. Selon les besoins des semis, les graines de la vari t de riz NDR-359 ont t utilis es selon le traitement de la g om trie de plantation. La culture a t uniform ment fertilis e avec 60 kg P2O5, 40 kg K2O et de l'azote selon les traitements. Les r sultats r v lent que la g om trie de plantation de 20 10cm a t jug e appropri e pour des attributs de rendement plus lev s et le rendement du riz. L'application de 120 kg d'azote/ha a t jug e appropri e pour une production plus lev e de riz. L'effet d'interaction entre la g om trie de plantation et le niveau d'azote a t trouv significatif sur le grain et la paille.

Um experimento de campo foi conduzido sobre o tema "Influ ncia da geometria de plantio e n vel de nitrog nio no arroz (Oryza sativa L.)" durante duas esta es kharif consecutivas de 2017 e 2018 na Fazenda de Pesquisa Agron mica, Universidade de Agricultura e Tecnologia Narendra Deva, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U. P.) O experimento foi composto de dezesseis combina es de tratamento, ou seja, quatro geometrias de plantio e quatro n veis de nitrog nio no desenho de parcelas divididas.

Ein Feldversuch mit dem Titel "Einfluss der Pflanzgeometrie und des Stickstoffgehalts auf Reis (Oryza sativa L.)" wurde in zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Erntesaisons 2017 und 2018 auf der Agronomy Research Farm, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U. P.) durchgef hrt. Der Versuch umfasste sechzehn Behandlungskombinationen, n mlich vier Pflanzgeometrien und vier Stickstoffgehalte in einem Split-Plot-Design. Vier Pflanzgeometrien, d.h. 15x10 cm, 15x15 cm, 20x10 cm und 20x15 cm, wurden in den Hauptparzellen und vier Stickstoffgehalte, d.h. 0 kg N/ha, 60 kg/N ha, 120 kg N/ha und 180 kg/N ha, in den Unterparzellen verwendet. Der Versuch wurde dreimal wiederholt. Je nach Bedarf an Setzlingen wurde Saatgut der Reissorte NDR-359 je nach Behandlung der Pflanzgeometrie verwendet. Die Ernte wurde gleichm ig mit 60 kg P2O5, 40 kg K2O und Stickstoff je nach Behandlung ged ngt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine Pflanzgeometrie von 20 10 cm f r h here Ertragsattribute und Ertr ge von Reis geeignet war. Die Ausbringung von 120 kg Stickstoff/ha erwies sich als geeignet f r eine h here Produktion von Reis. Der Interaktionseffekt zwischen der Pflanzgeometrie und dem Stickstoffgehalt erwies sich als signifikant f r den Korn- und Strohertrag.

The field experiment entitled "Effect of different date of transplanting on growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties" was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh during Kharif season of 2015 with an objective to find out suitable date of transplanting of rice, the treatment consisted of three transplanting date (15 July, 25 July and 5 August) and three varieties (Sarju-52, NDR-359 and Swarna) there were 9 treatment combinations. The values of growth contributing characters viz. plant height (cm), number of tillers, dry matter accumulation, leaf area index and yield attributes like number of panicles m-2, length of panicle (cm), number of panicle-1, grain weight panicle-1, grain and straw yield (q ha-1) were increasing significantly with 15 July date of transplanting followed by 25 July date of transplanting and significantly superior with 5 August date of transplanting.

A field experiment was conducted on the topic entitled "Influence of planting geometry and nitrogen level on rice (Oryza sativa L.)" during two consecutive kharif seasons of 2017 and 2018 at Agronomy Research Farm, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U. P.) Experiment was comprised with sixteen treatment combinations viz. four planting geometry and four nitrogen levels in split plot design. Four planting geometry i.e. 15x10 cm, 15x15 cm, 20x10 cm and 20x15 cm were kept in main plots and four nitrogen levels i.e. 0 kg N/ha, 60 kg/N ha, 120 kg N/ha and 180 kg/N ha were kept in sub plots. The experiment was replicated three times. As per requirement of seedlings, seeds NDR-359 variety of rice was used as per treatment of planting geometry Crop was uniformly fertilized with 60 kg P2O5, 40 kg K2O and nitrogen as per treatments. Results reveal that planting geometry of 20 10cm was found suitable for higher yield attributes and yield of rice. Application of 120 kg nitrogen/ha was found suitable for higher production of rice.

The historical record of India reveals that flowers and gardens held a significant and valuable place in the countrys cultural and artistic heritage, as evidenced by paintings, murals, and coins.

Buffaloes are the backbone of the Indian dairy industry, where they contribute about 54.5% of the total milk production (Economic survey, Govt. of India 2008- 2009). Though anatomically the buffaloes are very similar to cattle, they are physiologically different in many aspects including early embryonic loss and high neonatal mortality (Banerjee, 1998) causing a heavy drain on economics of livestock production. A survey of 28 livestock farms spread in 14 states of the country depicted mortality rate of 27.03% in calves, 7.49% in young stock and 5.13% in adult bull (Rathore, 1998). Acharya (1988) reported 29.1% and 38.85% mortality in cattle and buffalo calves up to 3 months of age respectively. Ramakrishna (2007) reported higher mortality rates (51.8%) in buffalo calves below one month of age in Andhra Pradesh. Thus, higher neonatal morbidity and mortality are the major cause of economic loss in livestock production.

Flowers are an invaluable gift that enhances the beauty of nature with its diverse colors and contributes to human well-being. Ornamental plants play a crucial role in providing environmental security for immediate living surroundings, which led to the initiation of extensive research in floriculture, particularly on crop plants. This book elucidates the application of genetics and breeding in flower crops, covering a broad range of aspects. The breeding techniques primarily focus on accelerating the production of superior and stable lines in self-pollinating crops. Breeders employ various methods, such as wide hybridization, tissue culture, and mutagenesis, to generate new alleles and broaden the available genetic resources. Molecular markers are used to assist breeders through marker-assisted selection and to identify quantitative trait loci for traits of interest. This book aims to provide readers with an accessible understanding of the breeding process and its objectives, different breeding methods, methodology for improving specific crops, stress resistance, quality improvement, mutagenesis, molecular breeding, and genetic engineering.
