“…Progress in improving desired traits will be slow if parental selection is based on mean performance alone. For continued improvement, selection of parents should be based on average performance and combining ability (Mukherjee, 2020). Significant and positive gca effects were also reported for fruit yield per plant, number of fruits per plant, ascorbic acid content of fruit, fruit length, fruit weight and fruit diameter in bitter gourd by previous workers (Mallikarjunarao et al, 2018;Acharya et al, 2019;).…”

Six phenotypically diverse bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) parents were crossed in a full-diallel mating design to determine the extent of heterobeltiosis, mode of gene action and combining ability effects for 17 quantitative traits. Field experiments were carried out at C Block Farm, Kalyani, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal in two consecutive seasons in 2019. The predictability ratio indicated the preponderance of non-additive gene action for most of the traits. Based on general combining ability and mean performance, two genitors BCBG-1 and BCBG-11 were identified as potential parents. Based on mean performance, heterosis, and specific combining ability effects, the crosses BCBG-10 × BCBG-14 and BCBG-3 × BCBG-10 were identified as most promising. This investigation also suggested that bitter gourd breeders to include reciprocal crosses in hybridization programs as significant effect was noticed in the present study. Promising hybrids could also be exploited in segregating generations to identify pure lines with desirable traits. Commercially exploitable bitter gourd hybrids tolerant to downy mildew disease could be developed with involvement of a single parent tolerant to this disease. The results also suggested that commercial production of bitter gourd hybrids is a possible way to enhance the productivity, fruit quality and tolerance to downy mildew disease in bitter gourd.

“…Desirable traits were found in cherry tomatoes including disease resistance, fruit abscission, soluble solids content, fruit size, flavor, texture, and postharvest quality (Kwon et al, 2009). Cherry tomatoes were developed to enrich the tomato market with new competing commercial choices (Mukherjee et al 2020;Rodriguez et al 2011). These reasons encouraged us to explore more stable sources of resistance to bacterial wilt in S. lycopersicum var.…”

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important vegetable crop grown in tropical and subtropical areas of world. Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacerum, is one of the most serious diseases causing substantial crop yield losses up to 100 percent under favorable climatic conditions. The identification of new sources is the first step toward the development of bacterial wilt resistant cultivars. The objective of this study was to evaluate 81 accessions of S. lycopersicum var. cerasiforme (cherry tomato) along with resistant and susceptible checks for resistance to the highly aggressive isolates of R. solanacearum Pss4 and Pss1632. Tomato accessions H7996 and L390 were used as resistant and susceptible checks, respectively. The resistant control (H7996) was resistant to Pss4, and moderately resistant to Pss1632. The accession VI005692 was highly resistant to Pss1632 strain. In addition, two accessions VI005936 and VI006074 were moderate resistant to Pss1632 strain. However, all cherry tomato accessions were susceptible to Pss4. These bacterial wilt-resistant tomato accessions may be of interest for the development of resistant rootstocks and/or cultivars that can be used to control bacterial wilt in tomato.

“…The shade net house provides protection for the crop against adverse weather conditions that could potentially cause damage (Romacho et al 2006). The tomatoes in question demonstrate a considerable degree of variability in various attributes related to the quality of their fruits, such as avour, aroma, colour, and texture (Mukherjee et al 2020). Currently, the cultivation of cherry tomatoes is prevalent in the Central American region, with substantial exports to California, Korea, Germany, Mexico, and Florida (Anwarzai et al 2020).…”

In numerous agriculturally intensive regions, nitrate leaching into groundwater is a significant concern. An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of cation-binding mineral zeolite hydrothermally synthesised from kaolin on nitrogen leaching, yield, and nitrogen absorption of cherry tomato in a pot. There are seven distinct experimental treatments; Control High (CH); Control Standard (CS); Control Low (CL); 2g of zeolite(2gZ); 4g of zeolite(4gZ); 6g of zeolite(6gZ); and 6g of industrial zeolite (6gIZ) grown in greenhouse with randomised design. In every treatment, drip irrigation with constant watering was applied. According to the results, 6g of zeolite demonstrates the smallest significant difference between the concentration mean values of nitrite and nitrate when compared to the other treatments. In terms of the average concentration of nitrogen in the soil at every harvest (harvest 1,2 and 3), 6g of zeolite added to the soil has the highest value compared to other treatments. There is no significant difference in fruit weight for all treatment, but 6g of zeolite results in the highest aggregate mean weight compared to other treatments. With its capacity as a CEC, zeolite was able to reduce the discharge of water from a container while increasing the average nitrogen concentration in the soil. The elevated CEC of zeolite also demonstrates an increase in cherry tomato weight.
