Eleven macro-fungi belonging to Hymenomycetes group of Phylum Basidiomycotina were collected during the survey conducted at Palampur region of Himachal Pradesh. Abstract: newline newlineABSTRACT newlineThe field experiment was conducted at Palampur during kharif 2009 to Rabi 2010-11 to find out an effective weed control schedule in soybean-wheat cropping system. Abstract: ABSTRACT newlineThe present investigation entitled, Biochemical evaluation of tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn.) genotypes was carried out in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, College of Basic Sciences, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur during 2008-2010. The grain samples of thirteen tartary buckwheat varieties / genotypes were collected from Mountain Agriculture Research and Extension Centre (MAREC), Sangla of the University during 2008-2010 and samples of fresh leaves were harvested during the year 2009-2010. Mean values of moisture, fat, ash, crude fibre, carbohydrates, total soluble protein, methionine, tryptophan, in vitro protein digestibility, magnesium, calcium and zinc evaluated in the grains of tartary buckwheat genotypes during the three years of experimentation showed the range of variation from 10.3 - 11.5%, 1.9 - 2.5%, 1.8 - 2.3%, 7.1 - 7.9%, 63.8 - 67.4%, 9.8 - 11.3 %, 76.0 - 93.5 mg/g N, 68.2 - 78.0 mg/g N, 70.7-74.7 %, 194.5-216.5 mg/100g, 49.2-57.6 mg/100g and 2.6-3.2 mg/100g, respectively.
Thus, nutritionally superior tartary buckwheat genotypes for grains and leaves in individual quality trait(s) were found out for crop improvement purpose, however based on genotypic grading versatile genotypes were also identified to be useful in nutraceutical enrichment/ value addition purpose. Based on cumulative grading, Sangla-B-120 followed by Sangla-B-124, Sangla-B-118 and Sangla-B-121 emerged out best genotypes in buckwheat leaves.The rutin content evaluated in the leaves and grains of promising genotypes ranged from 0.98 -2.27% in leaves and 0.60-0.95 % in grains and its highest values was found in the leaves(2.27%) in the genotype Sangla-B-124. Overall superior multipurpose genotypes were identified as Sangla-B-106 followed by Shimla-B-1, Sangla-B-118 and Sangla-B-1 in tartary buckwheat grains based on desirable quality attributes in descending order. In the fresh leaves of tartary buckwheat genotypes, significant variation in moisture, crude protein, fat, ash, crude fibre, carbohydrates, ascorbic acid, in vitro protein digestibility, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc and phosphorus was noticed from 88.6 - 90.5 %, 21.6 - 24.2%, 2.6 -3.4%, 10.7 -11.9%, 11.1-12.9%, 36.1 - 38.9 %, 24.8 - 28.7 mg/100g, 59.1 -62.5 %, 269.8 - 280.4 mg/100g, 390.5 - 403.8 mg/100g, 35.3 - 40.6 mg/100g, 3.7 - 5.1 mg/100g and 829.4-859.8 mg/100g, in that order.

Abstract: The present investigation entitled, Genetic studies of Vigna mungo x V. umbellata derivatives for disease resistance and other economic traits through morphometric and molecular markers was undertaken to study nature of variation and association among seed yield and related traits in Vigna mungo x V. umbellata derived advanced lines, to identify the alien chromatin in these derivatives using PCR based markers and to isolate the superior derivatives having disease resistance and/or other desirable attributes. Abstract: The present investigation entitled Studies on combining abilitygene action for seed yield its component traits in urdbean (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) was undertaken to study the nature and magnitude of gene action for yield and its component traits and to identify potential parents that can be utilized in a breeding programme for high seed yield and early maturity. Studies carried by RAPD for marker identification suggested that the primers were not sufficient for distinguishing bands among the bulks. Economic studies on system basis revealed that pendimethalin 1500 g ha-1 (pre) fb. 1500 g ha-1 (pre), imazethapyr 200 g ha-1 (pre), quizalofop ethyl 60 g ha-1 (early post), imazethapyr 75 g ha-1 (pre) fb.

4 g ha-1 (early post), pendimethalin 1500 g ha-1 (pre) fb. Among treatments applied in soybean, pendimethalin 1500 g ha-1 (pre) fb. 1000-seed weight, seed yield (18.7 and 18.3 q ha-1) and seed quality (41.1 and 15.0 per cent higher oil and protein content than weedy check). TL-11 x Him Alsi-2 was the best cross because of high yield, quality and disease resistance among the three crosses studied and thus could be utilized in future breeding programme. The outcome of the present endeavour suggests the different breeding strategy for crosswise as well as location wise because gene action was different in two locations i.e Palampur and Kangra and three crosses viz., TL-11 x Him Alsi-2,Turkey x Binwa and TL-43 x Binwa. Moreover, Kangra is also home to a number of important temples that boast a rich heritage, along with the Kotla Fort, which is perched atop a lonely hill and offers superb views of its surrounding valleys and mountains. Take a look at the best cottages in this lovely hill town of Palampur where you can spend the weekend with your loved ones and simply relax. Kareem found that a number students from the village are also attending computer classes in the town.
