Inclusion of correlated secondary traits in the prediction of primary trait in multi-trait genomic selection (GS) models can improve the predictive ability. Our objectives in the present investigations were to (i) evaluate the effectiveness of multi-trait and single-trait GS models&#...

Rice production faces a significant threat from the rice leaffolder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis. To address this challenge, growing resistant varieties stands out as a sustainable and eco-friendly pest management strategy. This necessitates identifying resistant sources and understanding their inherit...

Abstract Insects harbour diverse range of microbes in the digestive tract. An investigation was carried out to isolate and characterize the culturable gut bacterial fauna of three stem borers attacking rice (Scirpophaga incertulus, Sesamia inferens and Chilo suppressalis) morphologically, bioche...

A study was conducted in the Odisha region of India to assess genetic parameters, heritability, and trait associations in twenty traditional pigmented and non-pigmented rice landraces. The evaluation focused on twenty-five physical, phytochemical, and antioxidant properties. The results showed potenti...

Resource conservation technologies (RCTs) are recommended to address the rainfall de cits of dryland crops in semi-arid regions. Understanding the e ects of RCTs on mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) plant roots and thereby yields is crucial for drought tolerance, and few studies...

Agroforestry systems involving both tree and crop components usually produce multiple outputs which should all be considered in evaluating the productivity of a system. The problem of multiple outputs arising from tree and crop components can be tackled by developing an index that ...

This is the first effort in Northeast India to isolate lactic acid bacteria from the gut of Channa gachua and to evaluate their probiotic potential through clustering analysis. The study examined the effectiveness of these bacteria against freshwater pathogens. A variety of tests w...

Different sets of on-farm trials were conducted to standardize shrimp, Penaeus monodon monoculture at two stocking densities (6 and 12 post larvae [PLs]/sq. m.) with conventional, organic principles and Bio-secured Zero Water Exchange (BZEST), and two shrimp-fish polyculture systems with dif...

This livestock forewarning technical bulletin forecasts the occurrence of livestock diseases outbreaks two months in advance.

ICAR-Directorate of Poultry Research (ICAR-DPR) is a premier research institute under the aegis of Indian Council of Agricultural Research which has been established with the vision of enhancing chicken productivity for household nutritional security, income and employment generation.&#x...

Despite the known significance of GC content in shaping viral genome stability, evolution, and host adaptation, insightful analysis of GC content across viruses’ genes remains underexplored. In this direction, the existing studies primarily focus on isolated viral families or specific ...

This article presents the state of art review in the domain of weather based pre-harvest crop yield forecasting models. To begin with, it discusses the various approaches evolved over time for construction of weather indices from weather variables. Owning to complex relationship b...

With climate change projections indicating an increase in the frequency of extreme heat events and irregular rainfall patterns globally, the threat to global food security looms large. Terminal heat stress, which occurs during the critical reproductive stage, significantly limits lentil productiv...

One of the important unit operations in sugarcane cultivation is sett cutting. The number of setts of three buds for normal planting per ha is 37,000–40,000, but farmers use up to 75,000 with two buds at narrow row-row distance. The study con ducted in the selected v...

In this paper, construction methods of Structurally Incomplete Row-Column (SIRC) designs and a specific subset within this category called Balanced Incomplete Latin Square (BILS) designs (The treatments, rows, and columns all have an equal number), which satisfy the property of Pairwise bala...

Latin hypercube designs (LHDs) are commonly used in designing complex computer models. With the added property of orthogonality, a special type of orthogonal Latin hypercube designs called Sliced Orthogonal Latin Hypercube Designs (SOLHD) are now a days gaining much importance in the fi...

Background: In biomedical studies, particularly those involving animals, the carryover effects from previous experiments necessitate a repeated measures approach. In this context, constant block-sum designs are particularly relevant, especially in situations where treatments are quantitative and there’s a ...

A ground-breaking and enduring way to significantly reduce the use of conventional nitrogen fertilizer is to use nano-urea as a nitrogen supplement. The combination of nano and prilled urea was investigated in this study to address this issue and allowing for a 25% reduction i...

Orthogonal Latin hypercube designs are becoming popular in designing computer experiments. Available literature on construction of orthogonal or nearly orthogonal LHDs has one or more restriction in terms of either runs or factors. In this article, we have proposed a method of construct...

Lentils (Lens esculenta), abundant in complex carbohydrates, proteins, dietary fiber, and micronutrients, stand out as a promising raw material for the rapidly growing snacks industry. Three Indian biofortified lentil varieties: L 4147, L 4717, and IPL 220 with high iron and zinc conten...

In this paper, construction methods to obtain structurally incomplete row-column designs for comparing test treatments with control treatments which includes structurally incomplete Balanced Treatment - Control Row-Column (BTRC) design and structurally incomplete Balanced Bipartite Row-Column (BBPRC)&#x...
