5. The organic package for coriander-radish sequence consists of growing coriander cv. Pant Haritima and radish cv. Japanese White with the application of 100 % recommended dose of nitrogen through vermicompost + IIHR microbial consortium @ 12.5 kg/ha was found suitable for realizing optimum yield and highest B:C ratio. Hence, it is recommended for agro-climatic condition of Zone- IV. (35th Group Meeting of AICRP on Vegetable Crops held at IIHR, Bangalore during 24-27 June, 2017)

11 Prophylactic spray (at the time of canopy closure) of mancozeb @ 0.25 % followed by cymoxanil + mancozeb @ 0.3% at the time of disease appearance and one more spray with mancozeb @ 0.25 % after 8-10 days of second spray is recommended for the management of potato late blight in Kanpur region of Uttar Pradesh. (Department of Agriculture/Horticulture, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh and AICRP (Potato) Kanpur Centre-2018-19.
12 Application of ZN @ 1.5 kg/ha in potato for Kanpur condition may be recommended (Department of Agriculture/Horticulture, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh and AICRP (Potato) Kanpur Centre-2016-17.
13 In Kanpur areas of Uttar Pradesh there is a serious problem of common scab and farmers are not following tuber seed treatment practice developed by ICAR-CPRI, Shimla for the management of common scab. Therefore, it was decided that Kanpur center will demonstrate recommended technology at farmers field (five FLDs) on management of common scab using tuber seed treatment with boric acid (3%) in nearby areas. (AICRP Center, Kanpur)
14 Metribuzin @ 0.75 kg/ha either as pre-emergence or as post–emergence at 10% plant emergence was equally effective and comparable to manual hand weeding to control the weeds in potato across the locations. Hence, application of metribuzin @ 0.75 kg/ha either as pre-emergence or as post–emergence at 10% plant emergence can be recommended for effective weed control in potato Kanpur (Department of Agriculture/Horticulture, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh and AICRP (Potato) Kanpur Centre.
