Ppt on Fruit dropping

Posted on October 20, 2025 by admin

Summary

Fruit drop refers to the detachment of fruit from a tree or plant, caused by the formation of a separation layer of cells on the fruit stalk due to physiological or biochemical events. It can be categorized into three main periods: post bloom drops, June drops, and pre-harvest drops, with some fruits experiencing additional periods such as summer drop and summer fall drop. Post bloom drops occur shortly after flowering due to inadequate pollination, water or temperature stress, and hormonal imbalances, with gibberellic spray as a potential solution. June drops happen when fruits are 1-3 cm in diameter, often caused by water stress and competition among fruits, with solutions including regular irrigation and growth regulators. Pre-harvest drops occur after fruits

Ppt on Training in Grapes

Posted on October 20, 2025October 21, 2025 by admin

Summary:

Discover the art of training grapevines to maximize growth and fruit production. Explore popular systems like Bower, Telephone, and Kniffin, each tailored to specific grape varieties and vineyard needs. Learn how strategic training enhances vine health, productivity, and the quality of grape harvests.

Summary

Grapes, belonging to the species Vitis vinifera, are a vital part of global agriculture and viticulture. Classified within the Plantae kingdom, they fall into the family Vitaceae and are recognized for their economic importance. The cultivation and management of grapevines require meticulous training to optimize growth and fruit production while facilitating essential vineyard processes such as pruning, spraying, and harvesting. Training grapevines is a fundamental horticultural practice that assists in controlling the plant’s form and exposure to sunlight and air. This is particularly crucial for maximizing grape yields and ensuring the overall health of the vines. Various training systems are adopted in India, with the Bower, Telephone, and Kniffin systems being the most prevalent. Each plays a distinct role in managing grapevine structure and productivity. The Bower system, historically favored, is well-suited for vigorous grape varieties such as Anab-e-Shahi, Bangalore Blue, and Gulabi. This method helps create a favorable microclimate within the vine canopy, which mitigates the impacts of harsh weather conditions. By ensuring better airflow and light access, the Bower system promotes healthier vine metabolism and growth. Its high productivity potential has made it a long-standing choice among grape growers. In contrast, the Telephone system is designed for moderately vigorous grape varieties that exhibit a stronger apical dominance. This system presents enhancements over the Bower setup regarding ventilation and light penetration. It is also more cost-effective, allowing for easier mechanized operations such as spraying. However, the Telephone system typically yields fewer grapes than the Bower system due to a reduced number of canes cultivated per area, which may limit overall productivity. The Two-arm and Four-arm Kniffin systems offer different approaches to training grapevines. In the Two-arm Kniffin method, a single shoot is allowed to grow upright and is pruned at a height of approximately 45 centimeters above the ground. As the vine develops, only three additional shoots are permitted, with two trained to grow horizontally while one continues vertically to establish a further height of 60 centimeters. This structured training allows for a system of horizontal arms supported by bamboo or wire frameworks, facilitating effective growth and ventilation. Both Kniffin systems enable the formation of primary lateral branches at consistent intervals, allowing for annual pruning and crop production. The strategic design of these training methods results in better management of vine space and resources, ultimately contributing to sustainable grape cultivation. In summary, the training of grapevines is a critical component of viticulture, with various systems catering to specific vine characteristics and climatic conditions. By understanding and applying these training techniques, growers can enhance grape production, improve vine health, and optimize the quality of their harvests.

Ppt on Pineapple

Posted on October 20, 2025October 20, 2025 by admin

Summary

The pineapple, scientifically known as *Ananas comosus*, belongs to the Bromeliaceae family and is native to Brazil. This tropical fruit is not just a delight for the taste buds; it is also a powerhouse of nutrients. Rich in Vitamin C, it also provides significant amounts of Vitamins A, B, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. The fruit contains an enzyme called bromelain, which aids in protein digestion while offering ample dietary fiber to alleviate constipation. Pineapples can be enjoyed in various forms, including juices, slices, jams, and candies, showcasing their versatility. Pineapples thrive in a tropical climate, with ideal temperatures ranging between 21-23°C and an elevation of about 1100 meters. The plants require approximately 150 cm of rainfall annually and prefer well-draining soils, ideally sandy loams or slightly acidic soils with a pH of 5.5 to 6. The soil should be at least 60 cm deep and free of waterlogging or hardpan. There are numerous pineapple varieties categorized into three main groups: Cayenne, Queen, and Spanish, as classified by Hume and Muller in 1904. Notable commercial cultivars in India include Giant Kew, Kew, Queen, and Mauritius. Each variety has distinct characteristics suited for different purposes; for example, the Cayenne and Spanish groups are suitable for both fresh consumption and canning, while the Queen group is primarily consumed fresh. Varieties such as “Smooth Cayenne” dominate the canned pineapple market, whereas “Abacaxi” is admired for its flavor despite its challenging shipping qualities. Pineapples are primarily propagated through vegetative methods, utilizing suckers, slips, crowns, or stumps. Suckers are favored for their quicker fruiting time, while slips yield larger fruits at a later stage. Land preparation is crucial for successful cultivation, involving deep tilling, application of fertilizer, and laying out trenches for planting. The recommended planting technique involves a double-row system to maximize space and yield, allowing for high-density planting of between 15,000 to 20,000 suckers per hectare. Intercultural practices like mulching and pruning improve fruit quality and protect the crops from adverse weather conditions. Proper fertilization and irrigation schedules further enhance growth, ensuring a good yield, typically ranging from 40-60 tonnes per hectare. After about 12 months, the plants flower, typically between February and April, with ripening occurring 135 to 165 days later, usually from June to September. Harvesting involves cutting the ripe fruit at the base while leaving one sucker for ratoon cropping. This sustainable practice allows farmers to continue producing pineapples for several years, ensuring the longevity of their crops. In summary, the cultivation of pineapples is a meticulous process that requires attention to climate, soil conditions, and proper agricultural techniques. With their rich nutritional profile and economic viability, pineapples remain a significant fruit crop in many tropical regions.
