RÉSUMÉ
Introduction and Aim: Pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica Roxb) is one of the most profitable and nutrient-rich summer crops. The present investigation entitled “Effect of Integrated Nutrients Management Practices on Growth and Yield of Pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica) cv. Papdi & Rudra’’ was carried and conducted at open field condition located at Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut U.P India during Kharif season of 2022-2023.Methods: The experiment was carried out in randomized block design keeping two varieties i.e. Papdi and Rudra with three replications. The experimental trial consists 10 different treatment.Discussion and Conclusion: All the treatments showed significant differences for most of the traits under study, the combination of T9 (Vermicompost @ 10 ton /hac + Jivamrit @8% Spray) followed by the treatment T10 (F.Y.M @ 15 ton/ha + Jivamrita @ 8% sprays) was best suited for the growth attributes of pointed gourd.: Hence, the above treatment can be suggested as a combination for getting higher growth of pointed gourd.
RÉSUMÉ
The impact of biotechnology on mango enhancement, particularly through genetic engineering and molecular markers, has been significant. Biotechnology has revolutionized the field of agriculture, offering innovative tools and techniques for improving crop traits. In the case of mangoes, genetic engineering involves the manipulation of the organism's DNA to introduce or modify specific genes, targeting traits such as disease resistance, fruit quality, and yield. This approach has led to the development of mango varieties with enhanced resistance to pests and diseases, improved flavour and aroma, and increased productivity. Similarly, marker-assisted selection (MAS) utilizes molecular markers to identify and select plants with desired traits, bypassing the need for time-consuming and costly phenotypic evaluations. MAS has accelerated breeding programs, enabling the development of superior mango cultivars with desired traits. By exploring the impact of genetic engineering and molecular markers in mango improvement, we gain insights into their potential to address key challenges in mango cultivation and meet consumer demands.
