Wild relatives of okra represent a good source variation for breeding programs, particularly traits related to biotic and abiotic stresses fruit quality. However, wild species remain largely unexploited breeding. The cultivated accession Abelmoschus esculentus cv. ‘Arka Anamika’ was crossed with three accessions: manihot, ficulens moschatus. crossability estimated based on set, seed set germina...

The type and the amount of binders decisively influence the characteristics of tablets prepared by wet granulation procedure. Commonly used binders like acacia, gelatin, starch and hydrolyzed starch have natural origin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new binder extracted from Hibiscus esculentus (Okra gum) in tableting. binder Hibiscus esculentus gum was extracted ...

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is an important vegetable crop grown with high demand and economic value. Thus, to improve the growth development of okra, organic fertilizer can minimize inorganic usage. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse for 6 weeks compare rate okra between combination waste fertilizers NPK determine most suitable okra. laid randomized complete block design (RCBD) 4...

Bhendi yellow vein mosaic disease (BYVMD) is the most devastating viral of okra (Abelmoschus moschatus ssp. moschatus) which affects yield and quality produce in India. The causative agent BYVMD begomovirus i.e. bhendi virus (BYVMV) having DNA-A molecule along with betasatellite. Present study was carried out during 2019–21 at research farm ICAR-National Bureau Plant Genetic Resources, New Delh...

BACKGROUND The rapid assessment of biodiversity making use of surveys of local knowledge has been successful for different biological taxa. However, there are no reports on the testing of such tools for sampling insect fauna. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of different ethnobiological techniques for rapid sampling of insect fauna. METHODS Field research for the conventiona...

Background and objectives: Electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields can act as stress factors with different effects on biological systems. Due to the nutritional and medicinal values, and the increasing electromagnetic radiations, the present study was performed to investigate the effects of the electromagnetic field on the developmental stages and cytotoxic properties of...

Microorganisms in the rhizosphere mediate the cycling of nutrients, their enhanced mobilisation and facilitate their uptake, leading to increased root growth, biomass and yield of plants. We examined the promise of beneficial cyanobacteria and eubacteria as microbial inoculants, applied singly or in combination as consortia or biofilms, to improve growth and yields of okra. Interrelationships a...

Abstract Biscuits are the largest category of consumed snacks among bakery products, but their simple sugar and fat high content associate to low fiber make them unsuitable for diabetics. This study aimed formulate biscuits with glycaemic index from blend unripe banana, okra stevia leaves or jujube fruit To achieve this goal, fresh okra, fruits were purchased a main market in Ngaoundere process...
