Background: While Indian agriculture has achieved significant improvement in terms of major food crops, the performance oilseed crops lagged behind that grains. In last 30 years, acreage and production have increased dramatically. Groundnut, soybean, sesame, rapeseed, mustard castor seed are six oilseeds India. case other such as linseed, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower Nigerseed taken in, tot...

ltesults of inoculation experiments with an efficient strain of Rhizobium (eB 756) indicated that indigenous strains occupied most of the nodules of groundnut, grown in high Rhizobiullt gl"Oundnul populatell soils. These could he overcome hy using high rate of inoculation containiug trace clements, molyhdenum and horon, at 1.6 ppm and 4 ppm, respectively, wilh higher rates of phosphate applicat...

Fifteen foliar disease resistant groundnut genotypes and one local variety (VRI 4) were evaluated over four seasons in a single location to identify the stable high yielding genotypes. Significant G X E interaction showed the differential performance of genotypes over different environments / seasons. Stability analysis revealed that only one genotype (ICGV 92093) had near unity regression coef...

Esomeprazole is a new chromogenic reagent used for the determination of nickel (II) by direct spectrophotometric method. Esomeprazole forms a greenish yellow colouredcomplex with nickel (II) at pH 5. The method obeys Beer’s law over 0.139 – 1.394 μg mL -1 , Sandell’s sensitivity is 0.0029mg/cm 2 and molar absorptivity value (ε = 2.5 x 10 4 L mol -1 cm -1 ). The method is useful for determinatio...
