Understanding Plant Pathology

Sometimes plants get sick and no matter how much you talk to your plant, they won’t talk back. The initial step in determining if a plant has a disease is to look at the signs and symptoms. This can give you a clue about what’s going on.    Read full article about | Types of Plant Pathogens and Abiotic Stresses | Click here |     Hello I'm Tapsendra Patel and this article will provide you a background on plant diseases and the signs and symptoms common for plant pathogens. A disease is any abnormality that alters the looks or function of a plant. Plant functions are effected by this physiological process. Disease can also reduce yield and quality of harvested product. Disease is a process or a change that occurs over time. It does not occur instantly. Infectious plant diseases are caused by living organisms that attack and acquire their nutrition from the plant they infect. The parasitic organism that causes a disease is a pathogen. Numerous fungi, bact...

Introduction to Pomology :- Fruits Types, Planting, Growing and Fruit Storage

Fruits have a high nutrient content and are important sources of vitamins A, B, and B6, as well as potassium, magnesium, copper, andiron. Fruit contains fiber and are high in antioxidants. The branch of horticulture dealing with producing, storing, processing, and marketing fruits and nuts is called Pomology.  View Semester Wise Subjects list of B.Sc Agriculture | Click here to view | Fruits and nuts can be produced commercially or by the home gardeners.  Commercial fruit and nut production can be broken down into two distinct areas :- • Fresh marketing • Processing.  2010-11 estimates that about 12% contribution was given by India in total world productions of fruits. Although India is largest producer of mango, banana, papaya in the world.  India’s horticulture production is comparatively lower in productivity. Both just in case of fruits & vegetables productivity of India (11.7 & 17.3 tonnes per hectare ) it is about half of the productivity of USA ( 22....

Internship Research Report : "Indian Tea Industry: Problems & Policies"

  A.   Introduction In the world, India is the largest producer and consumer of the tea which accounts approx 27% of world production and about World Trade of 13%. The major production comes from northern India about 70 to 80% (Assam and West Bengal major contributors). In world exports India's share of tea is also drastically decreased due to more consumption in the country itself. To add to the woes of the firms and formers both international market and domestic markets is failing the prices of tea and all these changes can give adverse impact on country's economy so it is very important to identify and overcome the problems faced by tea sectors in India.   So, here I’m Tapsendra Patel with my Research Report on the Topic – “Indian Tea Industry: Problems & Policies” B.      Literature Review On earth TEA is being the most consumed beverages which is next to water The commer...

Micro and Macronutrients, Soil and Nutrients Management

A farmer should know the essential mineral elements and how they affect the following :- • Plant growth • Their deficiency symptoms • Methods for preventing or correcting deficiencies. I'm Tapsendra Patel and in this article, we will discuss about :- • Soil • Micro and Macronutrients • pH and its importance to the soil Soil It is commonly thought of as that portion of the earth surface derived from rock and in some cases containing organic remains which living organisms are associated.  Weathering breaks rocks into smaller particles by the processes of physical disintegration and chemical decomposition. The resulting changed physical and chemical characteristics of the rock make it capable of supporting the growth of plants.  The nature of a soil is dependent upon the rocks from which it was derived, but is also dependent upon the length of time and intensity of the • Chemical •Physical •Biological forces that have acted upon it.

This is also the mindset of the farmer. Why would a farmer want to make his son a farmer because he knows how much a farmer has to struggle. Apart from this, there are some other points which justifies this : - Before 2001 farming was not as profitable and neither the good and improved tools associated with agriculture were developed Rain was also irregular Everyone used to plant the same type of crop No more fertilizers of high quality were available by the government and the dealer. Subsidies were also not available in agricultural materials, Brokers used to buy all the produce of the farmers at very low prices and sell it in the market at high prices. The farmers of our country have seen everything from the drastic weath...

Lord Shiva Sketch - HAND MADE - by Ujjwal

This sketch was made by me on  4 March, Monday on  MAHA SHIVRATRI Material Required -  • Single HB pencil , 2, 4, 6, 8 • Pencil color • Cotton cluster. Procedure - • Draw outline form Single HB Pencil. • By using HB 4 pencil, darken the outlines drawn by Single HB pencil. • Now complete the main details from top to bottom by different pencil combination. • By using HB 6, and HB 8 pencil again dark the inner shades of main outlines. • Now use the Cotton cluster to reduce the sharpness. • Gradually rub the cotton to make appearance soft, and uniform spreading of black shades. • The last step is to fill orange color with brownies flavor in the sketch. • Use pencil color for orange color also.

Soil Salinity - Saline, Sodic, Problems & Reclamation

There are many problems faced by farmers while tilling the soil such as improper pH, erosion, or loss of organic matter and nutrients.  But one of the most serious and persistent problem over the history of agriculture, in so many of the drier regions of the world has been Salinity . View Semester Wise Subjects list of B.Sc Agriculture | Click here to view | As a broad way we can say that soils of humid regions tend to become acid, while soils of arid regions tend to become saline. I’m Tapsendra Patel and in this article we will discuss soil with it’s Salinity issues and how to overcome from this problem. Farmers in the more arid parts of the nation have a several soil related problem—an accumulation of soluble salts. This accumulation can became a major problem in dry climates where natural amount of rainfall cannot flush the salts out of the soil .  • This problem can also occur with poor drainage in irrigated fields.  Irrigation water imports salts into fields where t...
