Background: In the present climate change scenario, the rising temperatures are imposing severe threat to blackgram production leading to marked reduction in yield potential.The reduction in the yield potential is mainly due to reproductive failures caused by heat stress. Keeping this in view, the present study was carried out to find out the reasons behind reproductive failures and identify the genotypes that yield better under heat stress. Methods: Thirty blackgram genotypes selected from temperature induction response technique were evaluated for reproductive efficiency under natural high temperature conditions. Field experiment was conducted at Agricultural College Farm, Acharya N.G Ranga Agricultural University, Agricultural College, Bapatla. Dry matter partitioning, reproductive efficiency and yield traits were recorded at flowering and the data were analyzed statistically and pooled. Result: Genetic variability was observed among the blackgram genotypes with respect to dry matter partitioning, reproductive efficiency and yield traits under high temperature stress conditions. Among the 30 genotypes tested for thermotolerance, the genotypes TBG-129, PU-1804 and LBG-1015 were found to withstand high temperature stress at reproductive stage by possessing higher dry matter, number of flowers per plant, pollen viability, pollen germination percentage, pollen load on stigma, stigma receptivity, flower to pod setting percentage and higher yield. Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive association of total dry matter and all the reproductive efficiency characteristics with seed yield under heat stress conditions. The PCA results revealed considerable variability among the traits accounting for 86.6% of total variability. The genotypes TBG-129, PU-1804 and LBG-1015 can be potentially used as donors in the breeding programmes for the development of heat tolerant genotypes.

Background: Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a class of beneficial bacteria that colonise the roots of plants and improve projected plant growth through a multivariate process. PGPR application is increasing steadily in the field of agriculture, providing an attractive mechanism to replace pesticides, chemical fertilisers and additional supplements. Methods: In this study, PGPR from rhizospheric soil collected from Abha, a city located in the southern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), were isolated and characterised to facilitate verifying the efficacy of using PGPR as a biological control to improve fava bean growth. Four bacterial isolates from the nodules of fava bean plants, S4, S5, S6 and S17, were isolated and characterised. Consequently, an investigation highlighting the impact of PGPR isolates on the preservation of fava bean plants from the root-knot nematode was conducted through a pot culture experiment. Soil infested with the nematode was added to the pots. Two commercial types of fava bean plants (Vicia faba L.) were co-inoculated with PGPR 15 days after planting. Result: The results reveal that the nodule-forming bacteria interact synergistically; this was evidenced by a prominent increase in the shoot length and dry weight of the fava bean plants that had been cultivated in the nematode-infested soil. The results also demonstrate that the overall treatment of the plants did not lead to nodule formation. The results indicate that nodule-forming bacteria could be utilised in leguminous crops to facilitate biocontrol of the root-knot nematode.

Background: Intensive legume cropping system enhances the soil productivity and reduce the dependance on exterior inputs as legumes are well known for nitrogen (N) fixation by biological means. In addition, inorganic fertilizers, together with the integrated and careful use of FYM, could be an efficient option for increasing the productivity of the legume - legume cropping system. The common use of fertilizer and organics has been shown to have a synergistic effect on crop productivity, while simultaneously improving soil fertility. The residual effects of organic manures applied to previous crops may be available to subsequent crops. As a result, this experiment was designed to shed information on the usage of integrated nutrients from organic and inorganic sources on leguminous groundnut and the residual influence on subsequent blackgram. Methods: During 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21, a field experiment was undertaken at Regional Research Station, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Vridhachalam to investigate the effect of integrated nutrient management on the groundnut-blackgram cropping sequence. Four nutrient combinations for groundnut were tested in a randomized block design and the residual effect on productivity of succeeding blackgram was investigated using four fertilizer levels in a split plot design. Result: The application of 125% RDF + FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1 to groundnut increased growth, yield, quality, economics and soil properties, while the residual effect to succeeding blackgram resulted in significantly higher blackgram seed yield and other important parameters, which was followed by the application of 75% RDF. Among the various levels of fertilizers applied to blackgram, 75% RDF produced the highest blackgram seed yield, economics and soil characteristics compared to the other three levels.

Background: Mung bean is characterized by its ability to withstand water scarcity due to its short life span, so it can be introduced into agricultural rotation systems and despite especially when there is a lack of humidity and contemporary environmental changes. Despite the importance of this crop, its productivity rate in Iraq is still low compared to global production. The dates and methods of cultivation of the mungbean crop must be determined accurately to suit the specifications of local varieties adapted to the changing environmental conditions. Methods: The field study was applied in two fields: the first in Nineveh Governorate and the second in Erbil Governorate / Republic of Iraq. Three factors included, first: two varieties of local mung bean (black and green), second: different cultivation methods (furrow and lines) and the third: planting dates (May 15, June 15 and July 15). The study was designed as a factor experiment a design (R.C.B.D) with three replicates.

Background: Salinity impacts physiological processes, including germination, seedling development, ionic balance and water relations, leading to growth inhibition. Mung bean’s early stage is susceptible to salt stress. Our study aimed to mitigate salt stress at early stage using zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) to enhance mung bean tolerance. Methods: Pot experiment was carried out to incorporate ZnO-NPs into mung bean seedlings. Two Mung bean genotypes, TMB-37 (tolerant) and MH-1314 (sensitive), were chosen. Seeds were primed with ZnO-NPs at various concentrations (0.00 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 500 ppm and 1000 ppm) and shown in saline soil. Result: ZnO-NP priming notably increased germination percentage, shoot length and shoot dry weight in both genotypes. In 25-days-old seedlings, ZnO-NPs elevated antioxidant enzyme activity, proline content, especially superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POX) activity, while reducing lipid peroxidation and membrane injury. 1000 ppm ZnO-NPs had the negative impact on the root trait of sensitive genotype. Lower doses of ZnO-NP (50 ppm) concentrations was very effective in mitigating the adverse effect of salinity stress in both the genotypes offering a key approach for Mung bean’s salt stress mitigation.

Background: Fodder cowpea is an important leguminous, short duration, warm season crop widely cultivated. Though India ranks first in livestock population, the productivity is found lesser than the world average due to deficiency in availability of green fodders. As fresh water application usage is increasing for the cultivation of field crops and high value crops, fodder crops are found negligible crops but responds well to water and nutrients. Leaf area index is one of the determinative parameters for the increased yield, an attempt was made to determine the relationship between the growth and yield of fodder cowpea with the application of domestic sewage water and nutrients. Methods: studies were conducted during 2019 and 2020 to study the relationship between different sources of irrigation water and nutrients on the growth and yield of fodder cowpea. Treatments in main plot consists of irrigation with water using well water (I1), domestic sewage water (I2) and well water and domestic sewage water alternatively (I3). Treatments in sub plot consists of no nutrient (N1), Farm Yard manure alone (N2), Farm Yard manure + NPK (N3) and NPK alone (N4), in split plot design and replicated thrice. The leaf constant was determined graphically plotted in regression and used for calculation of leaf area. The relationship between leaf area index and the growth and yield parameters of fodder cowpea were determined. Result: Our investigation concluded that the application of domestic sewage water along with farmyard manure + NPK significantly increased plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area and leaf area index of fodder cowpea. The data also reveals that leaf area index correlated positively with plant height, number of leaves per plant, biomass per plant and yield of fodder cowpea.

The data also reveals that leaf area index correlated positively with plant height, number of leaves per plant, biomass per plant and yield of fodder cowpea.\u0000","PeriodicalId":17998,"journal":{"name":"LEGUME RESEARCH - AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL","volume":"41 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140971238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Background: Legumes, such as lentils, field peas, Faba beans and chickpeas, are high in vitamins, fiber, important minerals and protein and can help avoid obesity and cardiovascular illnesses. They also contribute to ecosystem services, such as nitrogen fixation and resilience to environmental stresses. Despite a 60% increase in global pulse production from 2000 to 2021, a demand-supply gap, especially in South Asia, raises concerns about nutritional access. Since illnesses are currently an issue to the food security of faba beans, machine learning is required for efficient disease identification. Methods: This research employs Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for robust Faba bean leaf disease identification. The CNN model is trained with diverse images representing specific diseases. The study focuses on diseases like Chocolate Spot, Faba Bean Gall, Rust and Healthy leaves. Image processing involves resizing, grayscale conversion and labeling. The CNN architecture includes eight convolutional layers, four max-pooling layers and three dropout layers. The model is trained using 80% of the dataset, validated using 20% and tested for accuracy. Result: The CNN model achieves an accuracy of 99.37% during training and 89.69% during validation after 75 epochs. Confusion matrix and classification report illustrate the model’s performance. It shows high precision, recall and F1 scores for each class, indicating balanced performance. Chocolate Spot and Rust exhibit the highest precision and F1 scores. The overall accuracy is 91%, comparable to other studies on Faba bean disease detection. The study presents a CNN-based disease identification system for Faba beans, demonstrating high accuracy and balanced performance across different diseases. The model’s effectiveness is comparable to other advanced techniques. The research highlights the potential of machine learning in optimizing disease management for Faba beans. Future work could explore a broader range of diseases and incorporate hybrid machine learning algorithms for further improvement.

Background: Pulses constitute a cornerstone of the Indian diet, renowned for their rich protein content and nutritional benefits, frequently dubbed as the vegetarian’s protein powerhouse. Black gram not only provides nutritional benefits but also improves soil properties and fixes atmospheric nitrogen. If left unattended in storage, damage inflicted by three species of callosobruchus viz., C. chinensis, C. maculatus and C. analis on black gram seeds could result in substantial losses, both in quantity and quality. In the context of insect resistance, a host genotype’s ability to resist insect pests is demonstrated through non-preference, antibiosis, or tolerance, and is closely linked to the morphological, physiological and biochemical traits of the germplasm. The present study aims to pin point the specific biochemical properties of black gram seeds that contribute to their resistance against the pulse beetle. Methods: The experiment was conducted at the Department of Entomology and Agriculture Zoology, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, BHU, Varanasi during 2020-21. Bioassay investigations were undertaken on twelve varieties of black gram, evaluating various parameters including oviposition, adult emergence, mean development period, growth index, susceptibility index, and the biochemical constituents that could potentially impact the proliferation of the pulse beetle population. Result: The results revealed that tannins and phenols played a significant role in providing resistance. In contrast varieties with high sugars and proteins are susceptible to pulse beetle. However, an increase in the level of phenols and tannins in seeds may interfere with consumer acceptance and these aspects can be used in the breeding programme so as to develop host plant resistance against C. maculatus.
