This crop an interesting substitute wheat in cereal rotations but its importance low due lack suitable varieties lo...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Novel markers were developed for pea (Pisum sativum) from pea expressed sequence tags (ESTs) having significant homology to Medicago truncatula gene sequences to investigate genetic diversity, linkage mapping, and cross-species transferability. • METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-seven EST-derived genic markers were developed through comparative mapping between M....

Selecting seeds with high vigour eminently affects initial plant growth and determines stand. Various tests including electrical conductivity (EC), radicle emergence counts (RE), standard germination (SG) were used to assess the of eleven lentils (Lens culinaris L.) seed lots. Lentil lots over 75% normal germination, germinated use an ISTA test. The (2 mm) was tallied at constant intervals from...

allelopathic relationship between plant associations, could be applied in non-chemical ‎weed management, however, those allelochemicals should not have adverse effects on arable ‎crops. in order to evaluate allelopatic effects of barley (hordeum vulgare) on ‎germination & growth characteristics of lentil (lens esculenta), two experiments were ‎conducted based on compactly randomized design (crd...

Lentil (Lens culinaris L.) is typically cultivated in marginal soil with low fertility status. It an important rabi season pulse crop North India. The responds well to exogenous application of Sulphur and Iron. Considering the above, a field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture...
