iv) Maize (Zea mays L)

PHM 12

Salient Features

• Released by the State Variety Release Sub- Committee.

• Yellow single cross maize hybrid variety.

• Average yield potential of the hybrid is 68.25 q/ha.

• Medium maturing maize hybrid, takes 130-135 days for full maturity.

• Recommended ecologies of this hybrid is rainfed mid

hills to irrigated plains of Jammu province.

• Single cross hybrid, one of its parent was developed

from local germplasm, so it is highly adoptable in

prevailing agro-climatic condition.

• Female parent of the hybrid is high yielding genotype

which is most desired characteristics for low cost hybrid

seed production.

• Distinguishable through its morphological features such

as small leaf angle, straight leaf attitude, canico-cylindrical ear shape and semi-flint

yellow grain type.

Technology generated and transferred: • Fruit bearing in Olive: Non bearing Olive orchards were managed through integrated

nutrient management to bear fruits in intermediate zone of Jammu region. Technology was

developed by Division of Biochemistry & Plant Physiology.

• Round the year mushroom cultivation: Round the year cultivation of mushroom i.e button

mushroom, oyster mushroom and milky mushroom s in Jammu province.

• IFS model for Small & Marginal farmers: Technology developed for small and marginal

farmers of 1.5 ha with 10 components i.e cereal, pulses, oilseed crops; Horticultural crops,

vegetables, Livestock, Poultry, Vermi-compost, Fisheries, mushroom etc.

• Crop diversification: Crop intensification and diversification of various sequences instead

of rice- wheat crop rotation have been recommended viz. Rice-Marigold-French Bean, Rice–

Potato-Onion, Rice-Cabbage- onion and maize+ Black gram –Potato – onion.

• High Density Orchard:In Mango orchards Planting distance of 4.5 m x 4.5 m

accommodating 495 plants/ha .

• Seed production in vegetables: seed production under nontraditional environments of

Broccoli & Knollkhol.

• Agri-silvi-Pastoral system for Kandy belt: It involves cultivation of Subabul , along with

mixed fodder viz. maize, sorgum, bajra, cowpea in Kharif and wheat in rabi.

• Yellow rust disease of wheat management: It poses economic threat to the livelihood to

the farmers in Jammu division. It can be managed by spraying of Propiconazole @0.1% at

disease initiation stage.

• Management of Spot blotch of wheat: Propiconazole @0.1% prove most effective

followed by Tebuconazole.

• Management of Blast and brown leaf spot disease of rice: Azoxystrobin @0.1% prove

most effective .

• Management of Varroa mites in bees: apiculture industry was facing serious problems due

to attack of Varroa destructor. Oxalic acid @ 3.5% has been found effective and managed

upto 90%.

• Development of Consortium of Bio control agents for IDM approaches: Talc based

formulations of Trichoderma viride, T. harzianum, T.virens, and Pseudomonas fluorescence

I have been developed.

• Management of Mistletoes in Fruit Trees: Mistletoes are epiphytic perennial flowering

plants living as aerial autotrophic semi parasites trees and shrubs in fruit trees, It causes

economically i.e qualitative and quantitative reduction in tree growth increment, deterioration

in tree vigour, quality, poor fruit, seed setting, growth increment, drying of branches, etc.

Complete control measures has been developed.

• Embyro transfer in sheep: FVSc has succeeded in production of elite lambs through ETT.

• Molecular characterization of Pashmina and Bhakkalwali goat though RAPD-PCR.

• Backyard poultry has been encouraged to meet the egg shortage because of high cost of egg

production in temperate zones.

• Urea-molasses multi-nutrient blocks for cross-bred cattle: Urea-molasses multi-nutrient

blocks enriched with area specific mineral mixture has been developed for amelioration of

macro and micronutrient imbalances in cross-bred cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats in

various districts of Jammu.

• Spent hen meat in preparation of chicken kabab: Recipes developed for utilization of

spent hen meat in preparation of chicken kabab.

• Antimicrobial drugs: The pharmacokinetics of various antimicrobial drugs in animals has

been worked out for their safe and judicious use. • Management of dog suffering with cardiovascular diseases: Complete management

strategies has been developed.
