      Authors: Surinder K Tikoo
      Pages: 6 - 14
      Abstract: The vegetable seed industry annual market value by late eighties was around `400 crore of which vegetable seeds was about `40 crore. The Government realized that the seed act needs change to allow Indian farmers to have access to seeds of highest quality and genetics from the developed world. This brought in the Open General License Act in 1989 that allowed import of seeds from abroad for testing and sale in India and allowed full research and development within private sector- recognized by DSIR. The changes this act brought about in vegetable seed sector and how it has impacted our farmer’s productivity as well as total vegetable production will be detailed below under various crops where most research was focussed.

      Pages: 26 - 32
      Abstract: Diverse agro-climatic regions, wide variety of soils supplemented with substantial rainfall has made the NE region a forerunner in agriculture sector. Small and marginal farmers holding maximum area of the total arable land of the NE region have chosen vegetable growing as the best alternative for their livelihood along with food grain production. In spite of immense scope for production of quality vegetables in the region, there are some constraints representing low productivity of vegetables. About 40% of the people are below the poverty line in terms of energy intake as well as socio-economic status. Low production of vegetables leads to low availability of vegetables to the rural and city dwellers. Maximum amount of vegetables thereby need to be imported from the nearby areas and other states.

      Authors: A N Tripathi, R K Dubey, J Singh
      Pages: 27 - 29
      Abstract: Vegetables have been integral part of human life during worship, spirituality and cultural festivals. History of vegetables in Vedic and ancient India is very vast but this important information is scanty and rarely recorded. At global level, 400 vegetable crop species are documented, out of which 80 species of major and minor vegetables reported to have originated in India. Vegetables are key pillar of commercial horticulture and/or agriculture for better farm income, food and nutritional security of India. Vegetables are important source of medicinal and nutraceutical foods. India is ranked second in area (10.86 million ha) and production (200.45 million tonnes) of vegetables in the world. This article would provide few indicative aspects on history of vegetables and their various spiritual and ritual significances for mankind.

      Authors: S N S Chaurasia, Anant Bahadur, Swati Sharma, Hare Krishna, S K Singh
      Pages: 33 - 38
      Abstract: The production of healthy seedlings plays a vital role in the establishment of a healthy crop in the main field. Nursery management of vegetable crops is primary and most important aspect in enhancing vegetable production and profitability. Majority of germinating tender saplings get damaged due to certain biotic and abiotic factors in the process of nursery raising due to which farmers incur great loss. Farmers are still following their age old traditional method of nursery raising of vegetables. Farmers of Diara region are compelled to raise their vegetable nursery at very limited and specified places located at higher elevation due to threat of floods every year and 60-70% saplings are lost. This article focusses on nursery management in vegetable crops to enhance the income and reduce losses.

      Authors: Hare Krishna, S N S Chaurasia, Anant Bahadur, S K Singh, Swati Sharma, Rajeev Kumar, Shubhdeep Roy, Manoj Kumar Singh
      Pages: 39 - 44
      Abstract: Due to ever-increasing population, massive urbanization and rapid industrialization, it is becoming challenging to feed the millions in our country. Though, population is increasing at a faster pace; agricultural land capacity can increase by 2% only. As per an estimate, 342 million tonnes of vegetables will be required to cater the demand of consumers by the year 2050. Therefore, to improve the productivity and cropping intensity, protected cultivation of vegetables seems a promising proposition. Protected cultivation is taken up in special structures known as greenhouses. Depending on the covering material, different terminologies have been used in the context of greenhouse structures for instances, glasshouse, polyhouse, shade house, net house, etc.

      Pages: 45 - 55
      Abstract: Due to increasing global economic interdependence and trade in agricultural products and international conventions and treaties, it is desired to value and record the available diversity in crops of a region. Vegetables are an important part of the diet of millions of people around the world, more particularly in the tropics. Vegetables have quick plant growth to produce maximum quantity of food for the area planted and fetch more income in short time as compared to other food commodities. They provide variety and flavours to the diet, making meals more palatable and appetizing. The food value of vegetables, especially leafy types and fruits is low because of large amount of water, low fat and calories but they are rich sources of vitamins, minerals and fibre.

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Nakul Gupta, Rajesh Kumar, P M Singh, Tribhuvan Chaubey, Vikas Singh, Shivam Kumar Rai, Chandra Sekher, T K Behera
      Pages: 65 - 69
      Abstract: Throughout the life cycle, crops are exposed to a wide range of abiotic stresses such as cold, heat, drought, flooding, salinity, heavy metals, which impose a negative impact on plant growth and productivity. Seed being a small delicate living entity is more vulnerable to these stresses. Moreover, seed being a starting point of plant life, faces these stresses at first and foremost during germination. Faster and uniform germination of seed as well as establishment of vigorous crop is very much important, which in turn depends on seed germination and vigour per se. Hence, seed enhancement through different invigoration techniques could be an effective approach to strengthen the seed.

      Authors: S K Singh, Hare Krishna, Swati Sharma, S N S Chaurasia, A N Tripathi
      Pages: 70 - 73
      Abstract: Vegetables being highly nutritious and easily digestible, hold major position in eradicating hunger and malnutrition and offer vast potential for ensuring food and nutritional security for millions of people of our country. Moreover, most of the vegetables are capable of giving very high yields and economic returns to the growers in a short period of time, besides generating on-farm and off-farm employment. As a result, in recent years, major emphasis is given for commercial exploitation of vegetable crops. However, under conventional production system, a large quantity of pesticide is being used by vegetable growers at frequent intervals to manage insect-pests and diseases in vegetable crops. Herbicides and chemical fertilizers which are used for conventional vegetable production are also the source of ground water pollution, environmental deterioration and contamination of food, as they enter the food chain. There are innumerable health hazards posed by these agro-chemical contaminated vegetables due to the presence of higher pesticide residues, heavy metals, etc. Hence, there is need to produce food devoid of contaminants. Organic agriculture is one among the broad spectrum of production methods that are supportive of the environment and restricts the use of synthetic inputs.

      Abstract: Humans require food, water, and living space in order to survive. These do not exist in endless abundance, making humans dependent upon the optimization of land area. Considering that world population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion by 2050, it is evident that food security is one of the pivotal themes of the new millennium & reasonably, the most urgent challenge for the agricultural sector. Food productivity of the current system of cultivation as well as water harvesting are the major concerns. Also, there is a progressive drop of fertile soil surface and quality water due to present trend of global climate change/ uncertainty, environmental pollution and urbanization phenomena, which greatly complicates the context. Infestation by the pathogens under traditional growing system further limits the potential crop production. Thus, farming has to become more productive as well as protective with some advance growing technique, especially under changing climatic situation and areas difficult to cultivate must be adopted. Hydroponics, particularly in the form of vertical farming is a wonderful option that provide the opportunity to grow anywhere with least use of land and water, and without any fear of insect, pest, diseases and other natural calamities. Also, due to the changing global economic scenario, getting jobs in public sector is arduous and private entrepreneurship is a lucrative option. Vegetables are important cash crops that hold the potential of improving both income and nutrition of farmers, and rising demand for vegetables require growing vegetable crops in all possible places and ways.

      Authors: Jaydeep Halder, P A Divekar, Singh Majumder, Kuldeep Srivastava
      Pages: 99 - 102
      Abstract: Biological control is widely acclaimed due to its target specificity, self-perpetuity and safety to the environment. Biological pest control is mainly achieved by using different parasitoids, predators and microscopic parasitic organisms. Large size organisms, visible with naked eyes, include mainly parasitoids (Trichogramma spp.) and predators (lady bird beetle, green lace wing etc.). Entomopathogenic organisms include bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis, B. papillae etc.), viruses (Nuclear polyhedrosis virus, Granulosis virus etc.), fungi (Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lecanicillium (=Verticillium) lecanii, etc.), or nematodes (Steinernema). The role of these organisms in the management of major vegetable insect pests of tomato, brinjal, okra and cole crops, etc. is discussed herein.

      Authors: Swati Sharma, Dhananjaya P Singh, S K Singh
      Pages: 103 - 106
      Abstract: Currently, the value-addition is at a dismal low of around 2%. Besides, lack of infrastructure and proper temperature management, transit and storage further reduces the storability and marketing window for the fresh produce. Among the approaches that can be taken to reduce food loss and waste, secondary agriculture, i.e. value-addition particularly, low cost drying to prepare value added processed product always top the chart. Drying process is a major consumer of energy, about 20-25% in the food processing industry. It is being used as a valuable technology to reduce volume, preserve quality and enhance storability much beyond possible for fresh horticultural commodities since ages. With advancement in time, different drying technologies have come up. Several techniques of drying are used currently like hot air-controlled drying, spray drying, freeze drying, infrared drying, superheated steam drying, osmotic dehydration, microwave drying, hybrid drying methods etc. Notable among them being the freeze drying which is known to produce the best quality dried produce and air drying which is used most commonly due to ease in handling and cost efficacy. However, the major drawbacks in freeze drying are the long drying time and the higher energy consumption which lead to higher per unit cost of the dried product. The current times demand an intelligent, cost-effective drying system with the quality of dried produce comparable to their fresh counterpart.

  • Honey bees for enhancing vegetable seed production

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Authors: Kuldeep Srivastava, Jaydeep Halder, Ajit Pratap Singh, Pratap A Divekar
      Pages: 107 - 109
      Abstract: Bees are a gift from nature to farmers because they play a crucial role in the development of sustainable agriculture and horticulture. They aid in crosspollination of crops, increase yield with high-quality crop production, and produce superior seeds in horticultural crops, particularly in vegetables. In addition to increasing vegetable output, honey bees also help to increase seed production. In radish, the seed production increases 22-100% by bee pollination whereas in cabbage and cucumber the value ranges from 100-300 and 21.1-411%, respectively. Furthermore, honey bee pollination boosts cauliflower, radish, lettuce, and mustard seed weight and pod setting. In addition to pollination by bees (Apis mellifera), honey and its other by-products, including bee pollen, bee wax, propolis, royal jelly, and bee venom, provide income for Indian farmers.
