K-448 were treated. Moreover, on transplanted crop, three sprays of bavistin (0.1%) and mancozeb (0.1%) cum-seed treatments proved to be the more effective and were able to bring down the incidence of sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani) leaf and neck blast with corresponding increase in the yield. The neck blast did not appear in seed treatment-cum-sprays of tested fungicides. Similarly, the sheath blight disease was also reduced but maximum control was found when spray of bavistin (0.1%) followed. The maximum yield was recorded in both the sprays-cum-seed treatments of bavistin and mancozeb.

Huge quantities of biodegradable waste are being generated in rural and urban areas that threaten the environment with pollution and contamination. These wastes can be converted into valuable composts which have long been recognized in agriculture as beneficial for plant growth and yield and the maintenance of soil fertility rather than when they are directly applied. Vermicompost is stable, fine granular organic manure, which enriches soil quality by improving its physicochemical and biological properties. It is highly useful in raising seedlings and for crop production. It is becoming popular as a major component of organic farming system. In this review the details about the process of vermicompost production will be described with its effect on plant growth, soil and environment.

The study revealed high direct positive contribution of biological yield, harvest index, days to maturity, LWR and 1000 grain weight towards grain yield under rainfed (E 1) conditions. However, in irrigated condition (E 2) biological yield, harvest index, days to heading, spike length and spikes plant −1 excised positive direct effects on grain yield. Thus, biological yield, harvest index, days to maturity and LWR due to their high direct effects and indirect effects via other traits appear to be the traits of importance worth considering, while selectingof drought tolerance.
