Agriculture and weather are the integral components of crop production system. Successful crop production depends on the prevailing weather conditions at different stages for crop growth. Understanding of the complexity of weather conditions needs the precise measurement of various weather elements for proper interpretation in relation to crop growth and development. The process of measurement involves elaborate arrangements for the establishment of Agrometerological observatory with various weather instruments as per IMD specifications. Further timely recording calculation and the use of this data for forecasting or for the preparation of crop weather bulletins needs thorough knowledge of the science of Agrometeorology. In the recent past there has been revision and reorientation of the syllabus for undergraduates in agriculture horticulture forestry and allied subjects. Further external evaluation component has been included in the examination system. In this context there has been a felt need to develop text books for theory and practical manual for practical as per the syllabus to equip the students and also as a reference material for the course teachers.

A natural healthy sweetener and dietary supplement. 6. Toxicology. 7. Uses and forms of use. 8. Present status. Bibliography. Stevia is blessing…to the world. This small miracle plant is consumed by the many people of the world and from last 1 500 years. The people from South America and United States are using this plant for a decade. It has potential to provide numerous miracles for the improvement of human health in mankind and is confirmed in numerous investigations. Recently there is a growing demand by the consumers through out the world. In Japan Stevia is used extensively they have banned artificial sweeteners. Every year a huge quantity of Stevia is imported from China to Japan. In Canada it has a great demand and markets. Various products in different forms are being sold in American markets. Many food recipes are available for preparations of delicious food and cookies in USA. Stevia represents a new opportunity for researchers and farmers alike. A great deal of information relating to production practices and disease control is required to optimize its annual production including use of herbicide and fungicides optimum planting and harvest times fertilizer recommendations. Since markets exist for Stevia now production and optimization must occur in parallel. The production of remarkably high levels of one class of secondary metabolite is of significant interest for chemists bio chemists and geneticists and may prove to be a foundation for the production of new metabolites in the future. Safety issues of Stevia for human consumption remains controversial there is a clear need for further experimentation with respect to the metabolic fate of steviol glycosides. Stevia has excellent capacities in alleviation such as diseases blood pressure blood sugar diabetes stomach problems toothache skin diseases etc. Therefore Stevia is really a gift and blessing of nature to the mankind. There is a great necessity of promotion of this miracle plant in India at present in several research institutes have shown its potentiality. Dr. R.K. Maiti has used Stevia powder regularly and found that it has potential to provide vigour and strength to body both physically and mentally. In future Stevia will be the safest most problem free sweetener in food and beverage and a wonderful hailing agent of several diseases. Research needs to be directed in several areas such as identification of adequate varieties that can be established from seed development of seed based agro techniques proper harvesting and drying procedures for efficient mechanization development of efficient seed technology identification of appropriate post harvest processing procedures natural products of reliable quality. 178 pp.

Subject index. Biosecurity an innovative concept is gaining considerable momentum in various food production sectors all over the world. Though in India it is yet to seep fully into the minds of the people there is an urgent need for an effective mechanism to be in place for evolving this concept. The recent outbreak of Avian Influenza (Bird flu) in the poultry sector of India is an eye opener for us to implement the biosecurity aspects in all farming sectors with utmost care and perfection. Therefore an integrated biosecurity initiative to protect aquaculture from pandemics and to safeguard human health livelihood and our own environment is felt indispensable. Toward this goal there is an absolute need to enhance the capacity of the country in monitoring detecting and preventing threats to biosecurity including the establishment of state of art diagnostic labs quarantine facilities of adequate standards and speedy and accurate action plain. Collaboration in this regard among the institutes states and countries would pave way to evolve practice and prototype effective biosecure models for adoption in our country. It is toward this end this initiative has been made to invite write ups on this topic from eminent fisheries scientists of the country for the National Conference on Biosecured Aquaculture organized by our institute during June 2007. Further our own experience in developing a successful biosecure system for shrimp for the first time in the country has been brought out in detail through this book to provide an insight into this innovative area of hi tech farm research. In a nutshell this book attempts to highlight the areas of operation which needs biosecurity coverage in aquaculture with the vivid description of a successful practicing biosecure model developed by our institute for shrimp farming. The principle and prototype for the biosecured aquaculture management brought out through this book would immensely benefit the stakeholders of aquaculture sector of India. 140 pp.

One of the key natural resources gifted by nature to support plant life is the soil. It is the transformation product of mineral and organic substances on earths surface under the influence of climate which is the growth medium of plant kingdom. Soil is the sole base of entire agricultural production enterprise. Intensive cropping coupled with high yielding cultivars increased the drain of nutrients recently. Exhausted soil show several mineral stresses and fertilizer is essential to recoup all the deficient elements. The current consumption of fertilizer in our country is 18 million tonnes of NPK per annum. This is equivalent to 800 million bags containing 50 kg NPK each. As the population is growing at the rate of 15 million per year the fertilizer consumption has also to be increased in the coming years. Increased use of fertilizers is the major way of feeding and cloth the burgeoning population. This book makes an in depth assessment of various aspects of fertilizer from manufacture to use. Recent research accomplishments of nutrient use efficiency in also covered. Materials covered are history of mineral nutrition nutrient absorption major nutrients secondary nutrients and micro elements crop deficiency symptoms and nutrient use efficiency etc. The book is written for a broad readership and should be interest to agricultural scientists teachers students planners training centres environmental scientists and progressive farmers who are interested in sustainable crop production. 204 pp.

From the Preface Biotechnology as any technique that used living organisms to make or modify a product to improve plants or animals or to develop microorganisms for specific uses. The document focuses on the development and application of modern animal biotechnology based on new enabling techniques of animal tissue culture genetic and protein engineering enzyme and recombinant DNA technology gene cloning human and animal health production of anti microbial drugs the general manipulation of genes by selective breeding and techniques such as artificial insemination embryo transfer etc. To date genetic progress in livestock breeding programmes has relied either on breed substitution or upon the traditional quantitative genetic approach of testing and selection. The rate of progress possible is dependent upon selection intensity and generation turnover. Actual progress is usually lower than that theoretically possible. Biotechnology provides means of increasing selection intensity the MOET could double the rate of progress in dairying. Cloning provides a method of obtaining information without the delay of progeny testing. Transgenic rabbits sheep and pigs have been produced. The limitation at present is the knowledge of major single gene effects in farm animals and considerable effort will be required to identify such effects. There is only limited effort in this area on farm animals. It is essential that any gene transfer is considered in terms of the overall effect on production efficiency correlated effects could have important consequences. The importance of considering the implications of genotype environmental interactions is raised. Genetic engineering can be used to complement traditional methodology of quantitative genetics in order to be of real significance biotechnology should provide an average improvement equal to that of traditional methodology. 484 pp.

Annexure I. Genetics is the study of heredity and variation. The genes present in the nucleus and cytoplasm governs the heredity and variation. The nuclear x cytoplasmic interaction largely determines the phenotype apart from the environmental factors. Gregor Johann Mendel laid the foundation for the classical nuclear genetics. The science of organelle genetics began in 1908 with the discovery of variegation of leaf colour in 4 0 clock plant (Mirabilis Jalapa). This finding unveiled the role of chloroplast genome in heredity and variation for the first time in the world. The discovery of male sterility in flax and the possible role of mitochondrial genome in the expression of male sterility made a spectacular jump in agriculture. Knowledge of organelle genetics has paved the way for the sustained food and nutritional security through crop breeding. Our main objective in writing this text book has been to strength the knowledge of graduates and researchers in genetics and plant breeding. The quintessence of organelle genetics rests on the discovery of the presence of Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) in chloroplasts and mitochondria. Now it is well understood that organelle genes are capable of executing both auto and hetero catalytic functions viz. replication and protein synthesis. Manipulation of the organelle genomes through conventional plant breeding has gained momentum during the 20 century. Twenty first century researches are eagerly anticipating about the impact of organelle transfer techniques in evolving high yielding lines. 168 pp.

The existence of the human race has depended on plants to meet three necessities mainly food cloth and dwelling. In recent times there exist a lot of vegetables which are not utilized for non interest or poor knowledge about their possible uses. The main objective of this book on An Introduction to Modern Economic Botany is to provide knowledge on the utility of plant species cultivated or in the wild stage which are closely related with different aspects such as taxonomy phylogeny plant morphology and anatomy plant physiology evolution ecology food science toxicology biotic resources pharmacognosy geology phytogeography phytochemistry agronomy and horticulture. Basically this book is based on the knowledge of principal food industrial and textile products food products as well as a vista of the geographic distribution and the morphology of some vegetable species. Apart from plants of economic importance the book also pretends to include some useful plants found in Mexico which are considered most important globally on the basis of their derived products. An extensive review of literature has been made on the utilization of these resources including the results of thesis submitted in the biology and agronomy faculties of the La Universidad Autonoma de Neuvo Leon and the Department of Chemistry and Biology Universidad de las Americas Puebla Mexico. Different themes have been described clearly and easily understandable form for the readers. The second part of this book discusses the results of investigation and techniques of the investigation on plants of economic importance. Apart from these aspects the book mentioned the different forms of the utilization of resources and the necessities of investigation required to achieve the preservation and a better utilization of the same. This book can serve as a text of economic importance for the students at graduation level in the areas of biology and food science. This book can also be used as a reference book by the students of agricultural botany or agriculture. 384 pp.

Processing of horticultural commodities is an important sector of our economy to reduce post harvest losses providing remunerative prices to fruits and vegetables growers generating employment and earning foreign exchange. Our country is bestowed with varied agro climatic conditions suitable for growing different types of fruits and vegetables (tropical sub tropical and temperate). Fruit and vegetable processing has a significant role to play in bringing about reduction of post harvest losses and thereby ensuring better returns to growers. There are various products which can be manufactured from fruits and vegetables. The major processed items are juices pulps nectars squashes jellies marmalade jams preserves candied fruit bars pickles chutneys vinegar ketchup canned fruits and vegetables and dehydrated fruits and vegetables. In India less than 2% of fruits and vegetables produced are processed as against 65% in the U.S.A. 70% in the Brazil 78% in the Philippines 80% in South Africa and 83% in Malaysia. The value addition is only 7% in India as against 23% in China and 88% in U.K. The fruits and vegetables processing industry is growing about 10% per annum. The number of units licensed and FPO is 6 097. The processed products have great demand both in domestic and export market due to change in social fabric of the society including changing habits. Besides and export of processed products of fruits and vegetables is also increasing day by day thus the future of processed edible item is so bright. The book has been prepared primarily to the benefit for the teachers and students of Horticulture Agriculture Food technology Home science and Post harvest engineering as well as extension workers educated rural/urban youths and women can be engaged in food processing activities for poverty alleviation employment generation environment protection and earn more foreign exchange and economic transformation of rural India. 216 pp.

The term Transgenic Animal refers to an animal in which there has been a deliberate modification of the genome the material responsible for inherited characteristics. An animal is transgenic once a scientist inserts DNA from another organism. This process allows scientists to transfer beneficial genes from a different animal bacterium or plant. Currently scientists are developing transgenic pigs cattle fish and poultry. Research into transgenic animals could prove useful in several ways. Scientists can provide animals with beneficial genes or traits such as disease resistance that will improve their quality of life and bolster waning populations. Transgenic animals may also be designed for organ production helping to ease the critical shortage of kidneys and livers available for transplants. In addition scientists are researching ways to produce proteins or drugs in transgenic animals. Transgenic aquacultural research will hasten the development of high quality economical seafood as well as protect stressed marine populations. Specifically the environmental and nutritional benefits resulting from aquaculture outweigh potential risks which include the runoff of pollutants into closed or semi closed waterways the elimination of coastal forests and ecosystems the potential for increases in waterborne disease and parasites and sustainability. 210 pp.

From the preface There are five classes of compounds in the premier division of endogenous plant growth regulators. These are auxins gibberellins (GAs) cytokinins (CKs) abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene. Broadly speaking the auxins and GAs have been classified as regulators of cell elongation the CKs as regulators of cell division. ABA as a general inhibiting influence and ethylene as a volatile with a finger in numerous developmental pies. Descriptions such as these are clearly simplistic and represent vain attempts to dispense plant growth regulators into neat compartments on the basis of their effects on plant tissue. This common practice is misguided not only because it implies that a plant growth regular has a similar impact on the behaviour of any plant cell but also and more significantly because it assumes that the application of a plant growth regulator must mimic its effects in situ. The balance of evidence indicates that neither of these assumptions is correct. In addition it is native to believe that the five groups of plant growth regulators described above may be the only molecules that can influence plant growth and development an increasing number of other compounds such as the jasmonate polyamines brassinosteroids and salicylate are being reported to have potent effects on plant tissues. No book of this size can realistically lead the reader step by step from the discovery of the various plant growth regulators to the forefront of modern plant growth regulator research. Therefore a certain amount of background knowledge has had to be assumed. Furthermore it has not been our intention to produce an encyclopedic work describing every developmental event where plant growth regulators have been implicated. Rather we have preferred to concentrate on a critical appraisal of plant growth regulators in the regulation of representative processes. In keeping with a volume of this size we have assumed that the reader has a sound knowledge of plant physiology and biochemistry. However wherever possible we have highlighted useful reviews which provide background information along with recent publications that have contributed significantly to the literature. 245 pp.

To combat nutritional demand of continuous growth of world population sustainable growth is desirable in agriculture productions and management. Technology application in pre harvest and post harvest operation of agriculture appears as the only tool in augmenting nutritional requirement. Effective management of agricultural produces largely rest on how qualities and quantities are preserved during storage. An understanding of storage problems and storage technology is foremost important to balance population growth and meeting nutritional demand. The population in many countries particularly developing countries is increasing fast and that will continue to increase for some decades more. Countries designing for economic growth and development must produce surplus food grains to sideline various population nutrition problems. The surplus food grains of nations needs keeping facilities and care during storage. All over world each nation has its own national food policy and must adopt a comprehensive storage technology. The surplus storage and its mobilization is just as crucial a matter in the present era. This book cover important aspects of food grain storage and gives more emphasis on storage problems and storage fungi. 190 pp.

The independent India faced a shortage of food supply during 1950's and 60's due to various reasons. It's food production is increased drastically following the green revolution in the late 1960s. However there have been reports of either stagnating or declining levels of crop productivity in recent years. Over exploitation of natural resources and excessive chemicalisation of agriculture have led to poor sustainability of farm production. Besides this organic agriculture and biological pest control are distinct possibilities in a tropical country like India where we are endowed with biodiversity of such plants. More than 1000 species of plants are known to have insecticidal properties 380 species with anti fedant properties 300 species with repellent properties and 30 species each possessing attractant and insect growth regulatory (IGR) properties (Jayaraj 2002). Hence for the countries like India the alternative for the modern technologies are indigenous methods which are low cost organic and eco friendly in nature. Also the capital and technological skill requirements in the use of indigenous methods are generally low and their adoption often requires little restructure of the traditional societies. Indigenous methods are nothing but indigenous knowledge or ITK. By adopting such indigenous knowledge our ancestors did not face any problem of large scale pest out break or economic crisis unlike the today's farmer. The systematic knowledge of plants and plant ecosystem that characterize traditional societies was transmitted from generation to generation. Scientists first learned the crop management practices by observing the activities of traditional farming societies. Many examples of pest management using indigenous inputs were found in ancient literature. Sine such amassed wealth of indigenous knowledge is not completely available for the agricultural research and extension systems the book is an attempt to provide information on the documented ITK of tribal farmers their scientific rationality farmers attitude and adoption efforts of different agencies in promotion followed by constraints and suggestions and a suggestive model. 226 pp.

India is blessed with varied agro climate abundance of agricultural wastes and manpower making it most suitable for the cultivation of all types… of temperate subtropical and tropical mushrooms. It is estimated that about 170 million tonnes of crops residues are left unused for burning out of which even one per cent of their utilization for the production of mushrooms can make India as one of the major mushroom producing country of the world. Though mushroom production in India started in 1961 but it is only after 1990 that India made some noticeable progress. The technology of mushroom production has advanced dramatically over the past few years in most advanced countries of the world. However in India were majority of the mushroom holding are either lacking proper environmental control facilities or do not have adequate compost preparation and pasteurization facilities development of various pests and diseases sufficiently to a level to run the industry can not be overruled. Further with the trend towards intensification and continuous cropping pests and pathogens can easily establish if attention is not given to hygiene proper pasteurization and exact cropping parameters. The mushroom growers must always be aware of these dangers and it is very important for them to recognize the first signs of any disorder with correct identification and the application of existing knowledge so that these disorders could be successfully treated. The book is intended to provide knowledge of pests and pathogens to all those who are associated with mushroom production so that by careful observation and description of the disorders it could be possible to make an identification and then apply the appropriate measures to combat the problem. Effort has been made to highlight the importance of hygiene during mushroom cultivation so that production level achieved during the first year could be maintained by avoiding site contamination phenomenon. Most of the mushroom growers mistake first year success guaranteed for the following years which generally lead to the development of pests and harmful micro flora sufficiently enough to result in considerable economic loss. Control of pests and pathogens should be accomplished by a combination of all the methods available like cultural physical genetic biological and chemical. Chemicals however may be used as the last resort keeping in view the nature of the crop and residual toxicity. Mushroom crop is ideally suited to the use of bio control technology and there have been considerable developments in this field. It seems likely that in the future we may see advances in the use of biological agents which may ultimately replace pesticides as the growers main weapon in the fight against pests and pathogens. Attempt has been made to integrate all these approaches and to present a logical and analytical approach to the control of mushroom problems. It is generally realized that there is an acute shortage of literature on mushroom cultivation especially regarding management of pests and diseases based on the requirements of the growers in our country. The present book covered all aspects on the identification and management of competitors pathogens and pests in simple language. It is often very difficult to fulfill the expectations of different sections of the community (mushroom growers and researchers) but continued efforts to have a judicious blending of the needs of the community would be our endeavor in future. 212 pp.
