Influence of sewage sludge and saline water irrigation on soil soluble ions and nutrient uptake under Pearl millet-Wheat cropping system in semi-arid region Indian J. Tradit. Knowl. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2022-05-04 Ankush, Ram Prakash, Ajay Kumar, Vikram Singh, Sachin Kumari
Salinity is the most common problem in arid and semi-arid regions hindering nutrient accumulation in plants. A field trial (2017-18) was carried out to study the effect of sewage sludge (SS) and saline water irrigation on nutrient uptake under the pearl millet-wheat system and soluble ions in the soil. The experiment consisted of three irrigation levels (canal water, 8 and 10 dS/m ECiw saline water)

Linkage disequilibrium mapping: A journey from traditional breeding to molecular breeding in crop plants Indian J. Tradit. Knowl. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2022-05-04 Jyoti Prakash Sahoo, Upasana Mohapatra, Debanjana Saha, Iswar Chandra Mohanty, Kailash Chandra Samal
Germplasms are the reservoir of agronomically important traits traditionally maintained by various tribal communities over the year. Maintaining these germplasms generations after generations has little value unless exploited for the desired agronomic traits like biotic and abiotic stress, yield attributes and nutritional enrichment. Association mapping, otherwise called linkage disequilibrium mapping
