“…In the tropical and sub-tropical weather conditions of the south Asian countries, vegetables grow in plenty during the short winter, while the summer months are the dearth period for vegetables [1] . Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), belonging to the Malvaceae family, is one of the important summer vegetables of south Asian countries, including Nepal and Bangladesh [2] . Consumption of young, immature okra pods is as important as fresh fruits, and it can be ARTICLE INFO consumed in different forms as well.…”

Highly nutritive and antioxidants-enriched okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) gets sub-optimal field yield due to the irregular germination coupled with non-synchronized harvests. Hence, the research aimed at assessing the combined impact of seed priming and field-level gibberellic acid (GA3) foliar spray on the yield and post-harvest quality of okra. The lab studies were conducted using a complete randomized design (CRD), while the field trials were performed following a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Okra seeds were subjected to ten different priming methods to assess their impact on seed germination and seeding vigor. In the premier step, okra seeds were subjected to ten different priming methods, like hydro priming for 6, 12, and 18 h, halo priming with 3% NaCl at 35 ℃, 45 ℃, and 60 ℃, acid priming with 80% H2SO4 for 2.5, 5, and 10 min. Based on the observation, hydro priming for 12 h exhibited the best germination rate (90%), followed by halo seed priming at 60 ℃ and acid priming for 5 min. Furthermore, the halo priming at 60 ℃ demonstrated the greatest seedling vigor index (1965), whereas acid priming for 5 min resulted in favorable outcomes in terms of early emergence in 2.66 days. In addition, varying concentrations of GA3 (0, 100, 200, and 300 ppm) were also administered to the best three primed seedlings for evaluating their field performance. The findings indicated that applying GA3 at a concentration of 300 ppm to seedlings raised through acid priming (80% H2SO4 for 5 min) resulted in improved leaf length, reduced time to flowering (first and 50%) and harvest, increased pod diameter, individual pod weight, and yield per plant (735.16 g). Additionally, the treatment involving GA3 at 300 ppm with halo priming (3% NaCl) at 60 ℃ exhibited the longest shelf life (21 days) of okra with the lowest levels of rotting (6.73%) and color change (1.12) in the polyethylene storage condition.

The aim of this study was to know the nutritional composition of walnuts grown in Kashmir valley of north western Himalayan region for their commercial exploit at farm and consumer level. Samples were collected from earmarked trees growing in major walnut producing areas of Kashmir valley. The research work was conducted during 2002-18 at ICAR-CITH, Srinagar. The observations were assessed in 11 walnut (Juglans regia L.) genotypes (BHU-01, ZC- 05, NU-03, SPS-02, BPP-05, MPU-04, NU-05, CSB-02, DU-07, NU-02 and BPP-07). Mineral content: zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), copper (Cu), aluminium (Al), cobalt (Co), molybdenum (Mo), and iron (Fe), were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Fat content was determined by standard Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) methods. Nut and kernel exterior quality traits were recorded as per the IBPGR descriptor. Results revealed that micro-mineral nutrient contents expressed in mg/100 g dry weight ranged between 147.39-68.07 (Mg), 19.71-74.16 (Mo), 7.32-15.57 (Mn), 2.25-9.03 (Cu), 2.90-3.53 (Zn), 1.99-3.81 (Fe), 0.11-0.93 (Al), 0.007-0.069 (Co) and 0.00-0.006 (Se). The fats accounted for more than 60% of the walnut kernel weight and it was ranged from 53.54-74.93%. Significant variability (P<0.05) recorded for physical properties can be attributed to quality criteria of nuts and kernel in walnut.
