Not AvailableAn on-farm trial (OFT) was conducted at three farmer's field with three treatments in Lunawas Khara village of Luni Panchayat Samiti in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan during rabi 2011-12 to 2012-13 to assess the impact of line sowing in improving the productivity of cumin (variety GC-4). Technological intervention of line sowing was compared with recommended practice and existing farmers practice for yield maximisation and economic returns from cumin under irrigated condition on sandy loam soil. Results of the study revealed that yield attributes in terms of branches plant', umbels plant', umblets plant' and grain yield plant' increased by 43, 78, 51, and 77%, respectively with technological intervention of line sowing over farmers practice. The grain yield was increased from 458 to 810 kg had during 2011-12 and 502 to 888 kg had during 2012-13 with the technological intervention. The mean grain yield was recorded 77% higher than the farmers practice (480 kg had).Not Availabl

High-quality permanent draft genome sequence of Ensifer sp. PC2, isolated from a nitrogen-fixing root nodule of the legume tree (Khejri) native to the Thar Desert of India

Ensifer sp. PC2 is an aerobic, motile, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rod that was isolated from a nitrogen-fixing nodule of the tree legume P. cineraria (L.) Druce (Khejri), which is a keystone species that grows in arid and semi-arid regions of the Indian Thar desert. Strain PC2 exists as a dominant saprophyte in alkaline soils of Western Rajasthan. It is fast growing, well-adapted to arid conditions and is able to form an effective symbiosis with several annual crop legumes as well as species of mimosoid trees and shrubs. Here we describe the features of Ensifer sp. PC2, together with genome sequence information and its annotation. The 8,458,965 bp high-quality permanent draft genome is arranged into 171 scaffolds of 171 contigs containing 8,344 protein-coding genes and 139 RNA-only encoding genes, and is one of the rhizobial genomes sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute 2010 Genomic Encyclopedia for Bacteria and Archaea-Root Nodule Bacteria (GEBA-RNB) project proposal
