Item Betel vine (gachh pan)-a suitable mixed crop of arecanut in sub himalayan terai region(2016) Arun Kumar Sit; Sandip ShilItem Comparative study of different turmeric cultivars in areca-based cropping system and open field under Sub-Himalayan Terrai Region of West Bengal(2004) Arun Kumar Sit; China Chenchaiah, K.; Acharya, G.C.; Barman, J.R.A total of eleven turmeric cultivarshnes were evaluated for their perfonnznce in the panial shade of arecanut canopy and open condition under Sub-Himalayan Terai region of West Bengal. The cultivar Suguna gave the highest yield (29.04Vha) followed by CLS-2A (27.41 uha) and Kasturi (26.22Vha) under areca shade and the cultivar Sudarsana produced maximum fresh rhizomes (44.53 Whai) followed bv Suruna (38.53wha) and Kasluri 138.05 ma1 in noencondinon. Sudarsana and Kasturi also performed well in arecashadc bul the yield was lowerthanin the open condition: the mean internodal distanceand yield per plant were responsible for the higher yield. This is supponed by moderately higher numhers of secondary fingers and mother rhizome weight. The cultivar Suguna is also found to be tolerant to Cerrosponr leaf spot under the panial shade of areca canopy.Item Cultivar and Nutrient Levels Influence the Aerial Roots and Morphometric Traits in Arecanut Palm(Areca catechu L.)(2008) Arun Kumar Sit; Arunachalam, V.; Gobinda Ch. AcharyaItem Edible Leaves of Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal, India(2007-09) Arunachalam, V.; Arun Kumar Sit; Malay BhattacharyaMany of the traditional leaf vegetables remain underutilized in India. A comprehensive study in a small geographical area, involved survey of rural weekly markets and interview with local people growing/gathering, selling and or/ using these vegetables. We enumerated the market potential, season of availability, common, vernacular and botanical name of 42 species of plants belonging to 28 families. These are either grown or gathered from wild growth from a range of habits and habitats and commonly marketed and used as leaf, tender shoot or flower vegetable in Jalpaiguri District located in Sub Himalayan Terai region of West Bengal. The report covers details of Ethnobotany especially the consumption during festivals and traditional wisdom on medicinal uses etc. Cephalandra leaves for curing diabetes; leaves of water lily for curing piles are few medicinal uses to mention. Use of leaves of Indian Pandan to impart the flavor of aromatic rice to recipes is an interesting finding from the study. Leaves of common weeds such as Gumma (Leucas aspera), water spinach and water lily are marketed and consumed here. Leaves of jute, chickpea, pumpkin and ash gourd are sold in the market where hundred tender shoots varied from US $ 0.2 for sweet potato to US S 2.2 for brahmi (Water Hyssop). The paper concludes with a framework for institutional mechanisms to promote research, development, documentation, marketing and post harvest technology of these plants in order to enhance dietary diversity and nutritional security.Item Effect of different chemicals and polythene cover on fruits carring beetle and fruit characters on banana cv. Malbhog grown in arecanut garden under sub himalayan terai region of West Bengal(2011) Arun Kumar Sit; Saran Kumar Rizal; Sarkar, P.K.Item Effect of different date of sowing on three turmeric cultivars under arecanut plantation in sub himalayan terai region of West Bengal(2011) Arun Kumar Sit; Jagadish RoybarmanItem Effect of different doses of fertilizers on arecanut(Areca catechu) varieties under sub himalayan terai of West Bengal(2008-03) Arun Kumar Sit; Acharya, G.C.; Roy Barman, J.Item Effect of soil mixtures on germination and growth of arecanut seedlings under sub-himalayan terai region(2014) Arun Kumar Sit; Acharya, G.C.; Chenchaiah, K.C.Item FEASIBILITY OF BLACK PEPPER CULTIVATION ON SHADE TREES OF TEA GARDEN IN SUB HIMALAYAN TERAI REGION(2006) Arun Kumar Sit; Chenchaiah, K.C; Acharya G.CItem Feasibility of black pepper cultivation on shade trees of tea garden in sub Himalayan Terai region(2007) Arun Kumar Sit; Chenchaiah, K.C.; Acharya, G.C.Item Feasibility of vegetable intercropping in arecanut garden under sub Himalayan terai region of West Bengal(2006) Arun Kumar Sit; Acharya, G.C.; Chenchaiah, K.C.; Avrajyoti GhoshA study was conducted with 25 different vegetable crops during different seasons as intercrops in partial shade of arecanut garden (36 years old) under sub Himalayan terai region of West Bengal. Yield. input, output and benefit cost ratio were calculated for all the crops. B : C ratio of all the crops ranged between 0.37 (bitter gourd) to 3.44 (cabbage). However. all the vegetables tested were found profitable. Crops like palak. cabbage, cauliflower. raddish, carrot, turnip, chilli and capsicum can be taken as winter vegetables and basella. pumpkin. ash gourd, bottle gourd and snake gourd can be taken as summer vegetables in partial shade of arecanut garden.Item Major Pests and Diseases Associated with Different Crops Under Arecanut Based High Density Multi Species Cropping System in Terai Region of West Bengal(2001) Arun Kumar Sit; China Chenchaiah, K.; Arunachalam, V.Item Performance of different turmeric cultivars under coconut plantation for sub Himalayan Terai region of West Bengal(2012-01) Arun Kumar Sit; Jagadish RoybarmanItem Performance of four banana cultivars under arecanut plantation in sub-himalayan terai region of west bengal(2012) Arun Kumar Sit; Avrajyoti GhoshItem Processing of Arecanut in Sub Himalayan Terai Region of West Bengal -A Case Study(2010) Arun Kumar Sit; Acharya, G.C.; Saran Kumar Rizal; Avrajyoti GhoshItem Weed floristic composition in palm gardens in Plains of Eastern Himalayan region of West Bengal(2007-05) Arun Kumar Sit; Malay Bhattacharya; Biswanath Sarkar; Arunachalam, V.Weeds are unwanted plants in the crop land that compete for nutrients, water and space. Proper knowledge about weed flora is important for their management. Weather conditions in sub-Himalayan West Bengal favour weed growth. Therefore, a study was conducted to find out the weed floristic composition of different palm gardens in this region. The results showed that dicots were predominant in the palm gardens. Maximum number of weeds was found in the oil palm gardens and the least in the fruiting arecanut gardens. A total of 20 angiosperm families were found in the study area. Among them, 17 belonged to dicots and three to monocots. A total of five pteridophytes were found. Members of Poaceae, Asteraceae, Oxalidaceae and Urticaceae were found in all the plots studied. Three species, viz. Ageratum conyzoides, Oxalis corniculata and Vandelia were found to be more widely distributed in all four palms as well as in fallow land, showing Shannon’s index value >0.75. Prevalence of some weeds in all the study areas revealed that they can grow under any conditionsItem Winter vegetables a profitable combination with coconut for better livelihood of the farming community(2021) Arun Kumar Sit; Sandip Shil
