Elicitors Mediated Response of Growth, Yield and Quality of Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata Wall. ex Nees)

Nine treatments with three replications were laid out in CRD design. Chitosan, Yeast extract, Jasmonic acid and Salicylic acid were evaluated at different concentrations. CHT 1000 ppm exhibited highest plant height (73.91 cm) and secondary branches (29.07) at the time of harvest. Primary branches and number of leaves per plant were highest in CHT 1000 ppm (26.36; 88.32) which were on par with SA 200 ppm (26.28; 81.51). Plant spread was highest in SA 200 ppm (35.46 cm2) which was on par with CHT 1000 ppm (35.11 cm2). CHT and SA sprays were recorded with on par results for yield parameters but highest fresh (42.34 g) and dry (18.30) herbage yield per plant were exhibited with SA 200 ppm. Highest total chlorophyll (4.459 mg g-1) and total andrographolides (3.494%) content were recorded in SA 200 ppm spray. Significant and positive improvement in growth, yield and quality of kalmegh was noticed with Salicylic acid spray @ 200 ppm at 30 and 60 DAS signifying its use in cultivation of kalmegh for high productivity, quality and better returns for farmers.

Value-added processing

Value addition refers to the transformation of a raw commodity or commodities into a processed pr... more Value addition refers to the transformation of a raw commodity or commodities into a processed product through the use of raw materials, labour, time and technology, all blended in a way that ensures increased economic return. Even if the amount of processing in a product is much less, e.g. for canned fruit, it may be regarded as a processed product. However, the processing of food is not as simple as gathering materials, labour and technology together over a stipulated time. Purity, authenticity, health claims and sustainability are also required to add real value to a food. For this, consumers will need to remain willing to spend a bit more on the final product (Euromonitor, 2010).

Its geospatial distribution, adaptive biodiversity and ethno-cultural integrity have offered us huge scope and opportunity from extracting genes of medicinal property to isolating molecular cluster to combat global warming and climate change. Conservation of spices biodiversity, value addition and processing, community stewardships, IPR and biodiversity registrars, connectivity with fiscal and global markets through operating supply chains, and application of GIS can add buoyancy and belligerence as well. A well designed research plan and well-visioned future strategy can help higher and wider socialization of spices through adaptive mass awareness. The country like India has to harness the process of controlled and hi-tech production and to set aside the cliches of production in a natural set-up.

Sukhsagar. The treatments were Azotobacter+PSB, Azotobacter+VAM, Azotobacter+Azospirillum, Azospirillum+PSB, Azospirrilum+VAM, PSB+VAM, NPK 100%, NPK 50% and Control. The height of the plant was maximum (43.46cm) with the application of Azotobacter+VAM. No. of leaves, no. of inflorescence / plot and bulb diameter were maximum of Azotobacter+Azospirillum. Azotobacter+Azospirillum and NPK 100% gave maximum length of bulbs(6.03cm). The maximum number of scale per bulb (9.81) was counted from NPK 50%.The plants raised under NPK 100% produced the maximum bulb weight 67.45g. TSS % was found maximum (12.29%) from NPK 100% but the highest reducing sugar (1.420%) and starch percentage (6.27%) were noted from NPK 50%. The total loss of weight (%) upto 60 days, was found minimum (11.5%) from Azotobacter+PSB followed by Azotobacter+Azospirillum (14.32%). It is therefore, concluded that Azotobacter+Azospirillum combination is the bestfor onion as compared to others so far as the sustainability in production and environmental consideration are concerned.
