ABSTRACT: The Boswellia pre-dominated woodland, belonging to the Combretum–Terminalia
deciduous woodlands of the dry forests of Ethiopia, forms the largest vegetation cover and is widespread
in the northern and north-western lowland part of the country. This paper has tried to review and discuss
the current contribution of the Boswellia dominated woodlands and its main threats which contributed for
its degradation based on different empirical studies. From the review it is understood that the Boswellia
pre-dominated woodland represents important natural resources on which development could be based
since it offer diverse products of commerce such as incense, wood and honey, and support to other
economic activities such as fodder for livestock and soil conservation for crop farming. However, the
annually cash income generated by households from the Boswellia woodland is only 1089.55 ETB, which
is 18.32 fold less than that of the income from the agriculture. The low cash flow is shown to be due to
policy restrictions on the engagement of the local people in producing and marketing frankincense, a
principal product from the woodland. Such low cash contribution by the woodland motivated the local
people to continuously clear and convert the woodland in to agricultural land. In lined with this, the
structure of some of the important species in the woodland showed a hump shaped curve distribution,
suggesting regeneration is severely lacking and the population is under serious threat in the long term.
Therefore, the main conclusion of this study is that the Boswellia woodland, although worthy of
sustainable management and utilization even on the basis of economic criteria, is continuing to suffer
conversion to other land uses which offer benefits in the short term and in which farmers have more
confidence in terms of economic benefits and ownership rights of the land. Therefore, to maximize the
actual value of the Boswellia pre-dominated woodland, policies and institutions that govern access to and
use of forest resources and their management need to be revised in such a way that the locals will have
the legal right and the confidence to own or co-own the forest resources in their vicinity, and will continue
to manage and utilize it.

ABSTRACT: Agriculture is the back bone of our country and economy, which accounts for almost 30 per
cent of GDP and employs 70 per cent of the population. Over the last decade, technical methods have
been developed to utilize modern electronics to respond to field variability. Such methods are known as
spatially variable crop production, geographic positioning system (GPS)-based agriculture, site-specific
and precision farming (precision agriculture). The term ‘spatially variable crop production’ seems to be
more accurate and descriptive than the term precision agriculture. The concept of Precision Agriculture
avails the recent developments in sensors, green-house and protected agriculture structures. This
technology can be meaning fully deployed for hot and extremely dry regions where water is scarce, soil is
salty, temperature is high and rain fall is low. It is also certain that even in developing countries,
availability of labour for agri-horticultural activities is going to be in short supply in future. The time has
now arrived to exploit all the modern tools available by bringing information technology and agricultural
science together for improved economic and environmentally sustainable crop production. Precision
Agriculture is an integrated crop management system that at tempts to match the kind and amount of
inputs with the actual crop needs for small areas within a farm field.

ABSTRACT: The present study was planned to evaluate the effect of auto-exhausts on a very common
ornamental plant i.e. African marigold (Tagetes erecta) plants which also possess aromatic & medicinal
properties and natural source of antioxidants. The plant is also recommended for growing with rose for its
allelopathic nature. The area under marigold cultivation is increasing every year due to its increasing
demand throughout the world. To assess the effect of auto-exhaust on marigold plants transfer
experiment study was conducted. Three sites (Road stretches) within the municipal premises of Lucknow
city were identified based on survey of sites and the available data on air pollution loads, which differ with
each other very significantly in terms of the number of vehicles (source of pollution) plying there. A
comparison of contents of photosynthetic pigments, protein, proline and cysteine among Tagetes erecta
plants kept at three different sites very explicitly indicates the bearing of auto exhaust effect on them.
Marked alteration in bio-chemical characteristics of plant was ob served in plants grown at highly polluted
site as compared to plant grown at less polluted site.

ABSTRACT: Agriculture crop insurance has an important role in agricultural production and is a tool to
support farmers against threats. Investigation of factors affecting farmers’ adoption of national agriculture
insurance scheme strategy was the objective of this study. The research was conducted in Jammu and
Kashmir State, India. Survey was the research method, and data was collected by questionnaire and
schedule interview. Data were analyzed by Excel and SPSS 18 Version soft ware. Findings revealed that
the farmers with higher rate of Agriculture crops insurance adoption, were younger with higher level of
literacy, they had more crop area and more income, they had more awareness towards the goals and
advantages of crop insurance, they often consult with other farmers and they have more participation in
training classes and sessions. Also, rate of their contact with agricultural agents and insurance agents
was higher, they more participated in extension lectures and more visited crop insurance company’s
activities. The results revealed that four independent variables explain adoption of agriculture crop
insurance. Consult with other farmers is the main independent variable. The variables affecting crop
insurance (31 variables) were classified to nine factors according to factor analysis technique. Extension-
education factor, economic factor, communication channels factor, opinion leadership factor, facility
factor, confidential factor, supervision factor, and diversity factor are the factors. Based on the research
findings, some recommendations are presented at the end of the paper.

ABSTRACT: Efficient management of depleting water resources is important in order to enhance crop
productivity and to attain high water use efficiency. The study aimed at identifying irrigation management
practices, which could result in water savings through deliberate under irrigation. Field experiments were
conducted at Hill Campus, Ranichauri, Tehri-Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India on potato crop (Kufri
Chandramukhi) over a period of two years during the winter seasons of 2008-09 and 2009-10. The crop
was planted in first week of November and harvested in the last week of March spanning approximately
150 days. Three irrigation treatments were maintained based on the maximum allowable depletion (MAD)
of available soil water. The treatments were 20% (T1), 40% (T2) and 60% (T3) maximum allow able
depletion of available soil water. No soil water stress was maintained at the initial stages of the crop
development so as to allow the plant attain a healthy growth. Soil moisture content was measured by
gravimetric method periodically in 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45 cm soil profiles. Soil moisture showed a cyclic
temporal variation at all three selected soil depths. The magnitude of this variation was higher in 0-15 cm
soil profile and decreased in 15-30 and 30-45 cm soil profiles in that order. This trend was observed at all
schedules of irrigation. Field experiments revealed that irrigation schedule with 40% maximum allowable
depletion of available soil water gave the maximum water use efficiency for potato crop. For scheduling of
irrigation of potato crop, 0-30 cm soil profile should be considered as most of the required water to be
extracted from this layer by the plant.

ABSTRACT: The study was carried out to determine the effective inoculation method and optimum
concentration of local Oryctes virus (OrV) for successful infection of Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) adults in
laboratory which released to the field to spread the viral disease among healthy larvae and beetles for
their biological control. 0.1ml of 104 ppm of viral suspension was introduced orally to one set of beetles
and another set of beetles were allowed to swimming in the suspension for 10 minutes. Beetles were
dissected at different intervals to determine the period taken for infection. Five concentrations (101 ppm to
105 ppm) of virus suspensions were introduced to adult beetles orally to find the lethal concentration
(LC50) and lethal time (LT50). Percentage of infected beetles was significantly different (P<0.001) among
the two methods of inoculation and untreated control. After 21 days of inoculation, oral introduction
method, swim method and control recorded 88.8%, 44.4% and 11.1% of OrV infection, respectively
indicating the most effective inoculation method as oral introduction. Cumulative per cent mortality of O.
rhinoceros adults with 101
ppm,102
ppm, 103
ppm, 104
ppm and 105
ppm concentrations were recorded
as 7.3%, 25.1%, 33.3%, 81.4% and 100%, respectively. LC50 was 102.7
ppm and LT50 for 104 ppm and
105ppm concentrations were 23 days and 12 days, respectively. Best concentration to oral inoculation of
O. rhinoceros with OrV for field release was selected as 104 ppm.

ABSTRACT: An experiment to study the shelf life of four table grape varieties was conducted at National
Research Centre for Grapes, Pune (M.S.). Grape bunches packing and the cold storage condition for 30
days after pre cooling for 24 hours was according to the export standard. After cold storage, shelf life and
other quality parameters were recorded for four days. Lowest physiological loss of weight was recorded in
Sharad Seedless followed by Mahadev Seedless. These two varieties also performed better for the
quality parameters in terms of bunch weight, 5 berry weight and berry diameter which are favourable for
better shelf life. Significant differences were found for the quality parameters except total soluble solids
(TSS). Overall, Sharad Seedless and Mahadev Seedless recorded with the lowest per cent of berry fallen
and rotting among the four varieties studied.

ABSTRACT: The study on the effect of pre-harvest chemical treatments in Kinnow mandarin was
conducted at Khalsa College, Amritsar for two years. Pre-harvest foliar application of GA3 (10, 20,
30ppm), triacontanol (400, 600ppm), CaCl2 (4, 6%) and Ca(NO3)2 (0.1, 0.2, 0.3%) was given to the
Kinnow plants of fifteen years of age. The harvesting of the fruits was done on January 1st, January 15th,
February 1st and February 15th during both the years and yield of the fruits was calculated along with their
physical analysis. It was observed that the maximum fruit yield to the tune of 54.88kg/plant was recorded
with the application of GA3 at 30ppm and it was proved to be the most efficacious treatment for improving
fruit quality in respect of fruit size, weight and juice con tent. Max i mum peel thickness was observed with
CaCl2 at 6 per cent.

ABSTRACT: The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2010-2011 with combination of
different sources of plant growth regulators to study their effect on vegetative growth and spike yield of
gladiolus. Experiment consisted of 16 treatments each replicated thrice and laid out in RBD. The results
obtained showed that the plant growth regulators significantly affected the growth parameters of gladiolus
such as maximum values of plant height (80.78cm and 82.22cm in Novalux and White Prosperity,
respectively), number of shoots in Novalux and White Prosperity (3.44 in each), number of leaves /plant
(20.78 and 20.44 in Novalux and White Prosperity, respectively), minimum days to spike initiation in
Novalux (76.67days) and in White Prosperity (78 days), minimum days to opening of the first floret (81.67
days in Novalux and 88.67 days in White Prosperity), first florets durability (7.56 days in Novalux and 7.11
days in White Prosperity), spike length (81.55cm in Novalux and 82.00cm in White Prosperity), number of
florets/spike (23.67 in Novalux and 18.33 in White Prosperity), number of spikes/plant (3.67 in Novalux
and 3.11 in White Prosperity) and spike yield /ha (295200 in Novalux and 279900 in White Prosperity).
The maximum value of yield and yield attributing parameters were found to be higher under the treatment
NAA @ 200ppm (T9).

ABSTRACT: Genetic variability in terms of correlation and path coefficient were studied for yield per plant
and its attributing traits in 16 genotypes of eggplant. Significant positive genotypic correlation coefficient
was observed by fruit weight, number of leaves per plant, number of fruits per plant and number of
flowers per plant. An overall observation of path coefficient studies revealed that the direct contribution of
fruit yield per plant, fruit yield per hectare, fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, and number of flowers
per plant was of higher magnitude on fruit yield. High negative direct effect was recorded in total sugar
followed by reducing sugar and fruit length. Direct selection may be executed considering these traits as
the main selection criteria to reduce in direct effects of the other characters during the development of
high-yielding eggplant varieties/hybrids.

ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of CIHAB, Palli Sikshya
Bhavana (Institute of Agriculture), Visva-Bharati, Sriniketan (WB) on storage life of tomato fruits with
different post harvest treatments. The experiment was laid out in RBD with nine treatments each
comprising of three replications and ten fruits per replication. The results revealed that ripening was
initially delayed by MAP, NAA and NAA+MAP treatments. Among all the chemicals the performance of
GA3, was better than NAA in reducing physiological loss in weight of tomato. The results on the colour
development of the fruit in storage indicated that the percentage colour development varied significantly in
all the treatments of tomato fruits up to 6th
day of storage.

ABSTRACT: For combating the glut at peak harvest it is imperative to improve the storage life of aonla
fruit. The object of the present study was to evaluate the effect of packaging and storage environment at
ambient temperature as well as under refrigeration for conservation of aonla fruits cv.NA-7. The treatment
comprised thermocol bowls, perforated polythene bags, card board, wooden boxes, perforated plastic
crates, earthen pots, gunny bags, refrigerator and control. Storage under refrigerator was found most
effective in retaining relatively superior skin colour, minimizing PLW and pathological losses and
conserving Vitamin ‘C’ and acidity contents in aonla fruits. Reduction was noticed in the metabolital status
i.e. TSS and sugars when compared with the storage under rest of the packaging and environmental
conditions obviously due to moisture loss at ambient temperature. The higher spoilage occurred mainly
due to black mould.

ABSTRACT: The present experiment was conducted to find out the interaction effect of variety, type of
cutting and IBA concentration on rooting in cuttings of croton. Overall performance of hard wood cutting of
broad leaf variety treated with 400ppm IBA was found significantly superior in inducing the highest rooting
percentage (82.34%), took lesser time for sprouting (10 days), survival per cent age (80.04%) and
sprouting percentage (88.66) than other treatments. The hot and humid condition were conducive for
growing semi-hard wood and hard wood cuttings of broad leaf as well as narrow leaf variety of croton
which were able to show good performance. Out of three types of cuttings, semi-hard wood cuttings and
200ppm IBA was found better in comparison to 400ppm IBA with broad leaf for rooting and establishment.
Therefore, it is concluded that croton can be multiplied by cuttings under green house condition with IBA
treatments.

ABSTRACT : Tall type primitive Chenopodium species are producing huge amounts of bio mass under
high input agriculture. If not managed properly, this bio mass is becoming a problem of plenty. To handle
this problem, the stems of these species were articulated in to a number of artefacts like bangle stands,
ecofriendly pens, pen stands, pot stands, flag stands, agarbatti stands, various types of hangers and
letter stands etc. Such diversified uses will make these chenopods more acceptable to society and
remunerative to farmers.

ABSTRACT: Vivipary is of unusual occurrence in papaya. In viviparic fruits, seeds germinate in side while
still they remain attached with fruits. Such fruits are insipid in taste. If cut exposed, the germinated seeds

Boswellia papyrifera pre-dominated woodlands of Ethiopia: Present roles and threats Tatek Dejene1* , Omarsherif Mohamed1 and Haile Adamu2 1Forestry Research Center, P.O.Box 30708 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 2Debre Zeyete Agricul tural Research Center, P.O.Box 32 Debre Zeyete, Ethiopia *E-mail: tdejenie@yahoo.com ABSTRACT: The Boswellia pre-dominated woodland, belonging to the Combretum–Terminalia deciduous woodlands of the dry forests of Ethiopia, forms the largest vegetation cover and is widespread in the northern and north-western lowland part of the country. This paper has tried to review and discuss the current contribution of the Boswellia dominated woodlands and its main threats which contributed for its degradation based on different empirical studies. From the review it is understood that the Boswellia pre-dominated woodland represents important natural resources on which development could be based since it offer diverse products of commerce such as incense, wood and honey, and support to other economic activities such as fodder for livestock and soil conservation for crop farming. However, the annually cash income generated by households from the Boswellia woodland is only 1089.55 ETB, which is 18.32 fold less than that of the income from the agriculture. The low cash flow is shown to be due to
  • 3. policy restrictions on the engagement of the local people in producing and marketing frankincense, a principal product from the woodland. Such low cash contribution by the woodland motivated the local people to continuously clear and convert the woodland in to agricultural land. In lined with this, the structure of some of the important species in the woodland showed a hump shaped curve distribution, suggesting regeneration is severely lacking and the population is under serious threat in the long term. Therefore, the main conclusion of this study is that the Boswellia woodland, although worthy of sustainable management and utilization even on the basis of economic criteria, is continuing to suffer conversion to other land uses which offer benefits in the short term and in which farmers have more confidence in terms of economic benefits and ownership rights of the land. Therefore, to maximize the actual value of the Boswellia pre-dominated woodland, policies and institutions that govern access to and use of forest resources and their management need to be revised in such a way that the locals will have the legal right and the confidence to own or co-own the forest resources in their vicinity, and will continue to manage and utilize it.

Ishfaq Akbar Precision Farming Development Centre High Mountain Arid Agriculture Research Institute (SKUAST-K),Leh-194 101, Ladakh (J&K) *E-mail: mskanwar2004@rediffmail.com ABSTRACT: Agriculture is the back bone of our country and economy, which accounts for almost 30 per cent of GDP and employs 70 per cent of the population. Over the last decade, technical methods have been developed to utilize modern electronics to respond to field variability. Such methods are known as spatially variable crop production, geographic positioning system (GPS)-based agriculture, site-specific and precision farming (precision agriculture). The term ‘spatially variable crop production’ seems to be more accurate and descriptive than the term precision agriculture. The concept of Precision Agriculture avails the recent developments in sensors, green-house and protected agriculture structures. This technology can be meaning fully deployed for hot and extremely dry regions where water is scarce, soil is salty, temperature is high and rain fall is low. It is also certain that even in developing countries, availability of labour for agri-horticultural activities is going to be in short supply in future. The time has now arrived to exploit all the modern tools available by bringing information technology and agricultural science together for improved economic and environmentally sustainable crop production. Precision Agriculture is an integrated crop management system that at tempts to match the kind and amount of inputs with the actual crop needs for small areas within a farm field.

Effect of auto exhaust emission on the growth, morphology and bio chemical characteristics of marigold grown in different sites of Lucknow Nidhi Prakash* and Mohammad Yunus Deptt. of Environmental Science, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow (U.P.) *E-mail: nidhiprakash0107@gmail.com ABSTRACT: The present study was planned to evaluate the effect of auto-exhausts on a very common ornamental plant i.e. African marigold (Tagetes erecta) plants which also possess aromatic & medicinal properties and natural source of antioxidants. The plant is also recommended for growing with rose for its allelopathic nature. The area under marigold cultivation is increasing every year due to its increasing demand throughout the world. To assess the effect of auto-exhaust on marigold plants transfer experiment study was conducted. Three sites (Road stretches) within the municipal premises of Lucknow city were identified based on survey of sites and the available data on air pollution loads, which differ with each other very significantly in terms of the number of vehicles (source of pollution) plying there. A comparison of contents of photosynthetic pigments, protein, proline and cysteine among Tagetes erecta plants kept at three different sites very explicitly indicates the bearing of auto exhaust effect on them.

National agriculture insurance scheme adoption among farmers: A factorial analysis in J&K state Kiyanoush Ghalavand* Department of Peace and Gandhian Studies, Panjab University Chandigarh, India *E-mail: kiyanoush1973@gmail.com ABSTRACT: Agriculture crop insurance has an important role in agricultural production and is a tool to support farmers against threats. Investigation of factors affecting farmers’ adoption of national agriculture insurance scheme strategy was the objective of this study. The research was conducted in Jammu and Kashmir State, India. Survey was the research method, and data was collected by questionnaire and schedule interview. Data were analyzed by Excel and SPSS 18 Version soft ware. Findings revealed that the farmers with higher rate of Agriculture crops insurance adoption, were younger with higher level of literacy, they had more crop area and more income, they had more awareness towards the goals and advantages of crop insurance, they often consult with other farmers and they have more participation in training classes and sessions. Also, rate of their contact with agricultural agents and insurance agents was higher, they more participated in extension lectures and more visited crop insurance company’s activities. The results revealed that four independent variables explain adoption of agriculture crop insurance. Consult with other farmers is the main independent variable. The variables affecting crop insurance (31 variables) were classified to nine factors according to factor analysis technique. Extension- education factor, economic factor, communication channels factor, opinion leadership factor, facility factor, confidential factor, supervision factor, and diversity factor are the factors. Based on the research findings, some recommendations are presented at the end of the paper. Published in : HortFlora Research Spectrum, Vol. 2(4) : 304-310 (2013) 5. Irrigation management of potato based on soil profile water extraction P.S. Kashyap* Department of Soil & Water Conservation Engineering G. B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar-263145, Uttarakhand *Email: pskashyap@yahoo.com ABSTRACT: Efficient management of depleting water resources is important in order to enhance crop productivity and to attain high water use efficiency. The study aimed at identifying irrigation management practices, which could result in water savings through deliberate under irrigation. Field experiments were conducted at Hill Campus, Ranichauri, Tehri-Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India on potato crop (Kufri Chandramukhi) over a period of two years during the winter seasons of 2008-09 and 2009-10. The crop was planted in first week of November and harvested in the last week of March spanning approximately 150 days. Three irrigation treatments were maintained based on the maximum allowable depletion (MAD) of available soil water. The treatments were 20% (T1), 40% (T2) and 60% (T3) maximum allow able depletion of available soil water. No soil water stress was maintained at the initial stages of the crop development so as to allow the plant attain a healthy growth. Soil moisture content was measured by gravimetric method periodically in 0-15, 15-30 and 30-45 cm soil profiles. Soil moisture showed a cyclic temporal variation at all three selected soil depths. The magnitude of this variation was higher in 0-15 cm soil profile and decreased in 15-30 and 30-45 cm soil profiles in that order. This trend was observed at all schedules of irrigation. Field experiments revealed that irrigation schedule with 40% maximum allowable depletion of available soil water gave the maximum water use efficiency for potato crop. For scheduling of irrigation of potato crop, 0-30 cm soil profile should be considered as most of the required water to be extracted from this layer by the plant.

Jayawardena* Department of Plant Sciences, Faculty of Agricul ture, Rajarata University of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. 1Crop Protection Division, Coco nut Research Institute, Lunuwila, Sri Lanka. *E-mail: sithuminijayawardena@ya hoo.com ABSTRACT: The study was carried out to determine the effective inoculation method and optimum concentration of local Oryctes virus (OrV) for successful infection of Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) adults in laboratory which released to the field to spread the viral disease among healthy larvae and beetles for their biological control. 0.1ml of 104 ppm of viral suspension was introduced orally to one set of beetles and another set of beetles were allowed to swimming in the suspension for 10 minutes. Beetles were dissected at different intervals to determine the period taken for infection. Five concentrations (101 ppm to 105 ppm) of virus suspensions were introduced to adult beetles orally to find the lethal concentration (LC50) and lethal time (LT50). Percentage of infected beetles was significantly different (P<0.001) among the two methods of inoculation and untreated control. After 21 days of inoculation, oral introduction method, swim method and control recorded 88.8%, 44.4% and 11.1% of OrV infection, respectively indicating the most effective inoculation method as oral introduction. Cumulative per cent mortality of O. rhinoceros adults with 101 ppm,102 ppm, 103 ppm, 104 ppm and 105 ppm concentrations were recorded as 7.3%, 25.1%, 33.3%, 81.4% and 100%, respectively. LC50 was 102.7 ppm and LT50 for 104 ppm and 105ppm concentrations were 23 days and 12 days, respectively. Best concentration to oral inoculation of O. rhinoceros with OrV for field release was selected as 104 ppm. Published in: HortFlora Research Spectrum, Vol. 2(4): 319-323 (2013) 7.

Correlation and path coefficient analysis in brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) Pallavi Chaudhary*, Sanjay Kumar and Prawal Pratap Singh Verma Department of Horticulture, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (A Central University) Lucknow-226 025 *E-mail: pallavichaudhary05@gmail.com ABSTRACT: Genetic variability in terms of correlation and path coefficient were studied for yield per plant and its attributing traits in 16 genotypes of eggplant. Significant positive genotypic correlation coefficient was observed by fruit weight, number of leaves per plant, number of fruits per plant and number of flowers per plant. An overall observation of path coefficient studies revealed that the direct contribution of fruit yield per plant, fruit yield per hectare, fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, and number of flowers per plant was of higher magnitude on fruit yield. High negative direct effect was recorded in total sugar followed by reducing sugar and fruit length. Direct selection may be executed considering these traits as the main selection criteria to reduce in direct effects of the other characters during the development of high-yielding eggplant varieties/hybrids.

Sachan, Shashank Verma and D. Singh College of Horticulture, C.S.A. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur-208 002 ABSTRACT: For combating the glut at peak harvest it is imperative to improve the storage life of aonla fruit. The object of the present study was to evaluate the effect of packaging and storage environment at ambient temperature as well as under refrigeration for conservation of aonla fruits cv.NA-7. The treatment comprised thermocol bowls, perforated polythene bags, card board, wooden boxes, perforated plastic crates, earthen pots, gunny bags, refrigerator and control. Storage under refrigerator was found most effective in retaining relatively superior skin colour, minimizing PLW and pathological losses and conserving Vitamin ‘C’ and acidity contents in aonla fruits. Reduction was noticed in the metabolital status i.e. TSS and sugars when compared with the storage under rest of the packaging and environmental conditions obviously due to moisture loss at ambient temperature. The higher spoilage occurred mainly due to black mould. Published in : HortFlora Research Spectrum, Vol. 2(4) : 360-362 (2013) 15.
