Background: The present work was to evaluate biocomposted cocoa shell and jack fruit peel wastes and their effect on the vegetative development and yield parameters of Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis L. Var. NS-620 (Cowpea). Methods: The experiments were conducted in the Department of Botany, Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, during 2019.The experiments consists of various treatments of biocompost. Different growth stages of the plant sample were analysed for root length, shoot length, number of leaves, number of nodules, number of flowers, plant fresh weight and dry weight on 25, 50 and 75 DAS. The yield parameters of cowpea such as number of pods per plant, length of pod, number of seeds per pod, weight of seeds per pods, pod fresh and dry weight were analysed on 90 DAS. Result: The experimental result showed that T8 (Raw Jack fruit peel+10 g Pleurotus eous+10 g Pleurotus florida+Eudrilus eugeniae 5 t/ha-1) and T4 (Raw Cocoa shell+10 g Pleurotus eous+10 g Pleurotus florida+Eudrilus eugeniae 5 t/ha-1) treatment significantly increased the vegetative growth in root length, shoot length, number of leaves/plant, number of nodules, fresh weight and dry weight on 25 to 75 DAS and number of flowers on 45 DAS. Maximum increase in the yield parameters was observed in number of pods/plant, length of pod, number of seeds/pod, weight of seed/pod, fresh weight and dry weight of pod in Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis L. as compared to other treatments and control. The main objective of the study was to develop high yielding and healthy vegetable crops with the help of biocomposted agroindustrial waste without damaging the environment.

Yellow mosaic virus (YMV) is a destructive viral pathogen that affects green gram (Vigna radiata) crops, leading to significant yield losses and economic repercussions. This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the impacts of YMV on green gram cultivation, explores the current management strategies employed to combat the disease, and discusses future perspectives for effective YMV control and prevention. YMV is primarily transmitted through whiteflies and infects green gram plants at various stages of growth, causing severe symptoms such as leaf yellowing, stunted growth, and mosaic patterns. These symptoms ultimately lead to reduced crop yield and quality. The virus poses a major threat to green gram production globally, demanding urgent attention and effective management practices. Various management approaches have been employed to mitigate the impact of YMV. Cultural practices, including proper field sanitation, weed control, and crop rotation, play a vital role in disease management. Insecticide application, use of yellow sticky traps, and whitefly population monitoring are important components of integrated pest management strategies aimed at reducing virus transmission. Additionally, the development and deployment of resistant cultivars through conventional breeding and biotechnological approaches have shown promise in minimizing YMV infection and its associated losses. Despite these efforts, YMV continues to pose significant challenges to green gram production, necessitating further research and innovative approaches. Future perspectives for YMV management involve the integration of advanced technologies such as molecular diagnostics, genome editing, and RNA interference to enhance disease resistance in green gram varieties. Additionally, promoting awareness among farmers about YMV symptoms, preventive measures, and adoption of integrated disease management strategies will contribute to sustainable green gram production. In conclusion, YMV represents a major threat to green gram cultivation, affecting crop productivity and economic sustainability. This review emphasizes the need for concerted efforts to develop comprehensive YMV management strategies. By combining conventional and modern techniques, effective disease control measures can be implemented to mitigate the impact of YMV and secure the future of green gram production.
