Chilling injury of large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) in high altitudes of Sikkim and Darjeeling, India

Manifestations of cold temperature damage on large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) was monitored at Pangthang (2160 m MSL), East Sikkim during the winter seasons (October–March) of 2006–10. Damage to plant tissues, mainly leaves, occurred during prolonged cold wave conditions (below 6oC) that prevailed during December–February. Tiny pin prick like water soaked lesions appeared on the lamina, coalescing to form a large patch that died and turned pale brownish and served as infection court for fungal pathogens. Extreme frosting on leaves was more common in exposed areas without shade trees. &nbsp

Incidence of Phoma leaf spot disease of large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) and in vitro evaluation of fungicides against the pathogen

Surveys conducted in 17 locations in North East India indicated that the incidence of Phoma leaf spot disease of large cardamom (Amomum subulatum.) caused by P. hedericola ranged from 5% to 15%. Six fungicides were evaluated in vitro against the pathogen and carbendazim 50WP was significantly effective at allconcentrations (0.05% - 0.15%) tested followed by carbendazim + mancozeb 75WP (0.1% - 0.4%). &nbsp

Constraints on a second planet in the WASP-3 system

There have been previous hints that the transiting planet WASP-3 b is accompanied by a second planet in a nearby orbit, based on small deviations from strict periodicity of the observed transits. Here we present 17 precise radial velocity measurements and 32 transit light curves that were acquired between 2009 and 2011. These data were used to refine the parameters of the host star and transiting planet. This has resulted in reduced uncertainties for the radii and masses of the star and planet. The radial-velocity data and the transit times show no evidence for an additional planet in the system. Therefore, we have determined the upper limit on the mass of any hypothetical second planet, as a function of its orbital period.Comment: Accepted for publication in The Astronomical Journa

Yield loss of large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) due to Colletotrichum blight in Sikkim

Large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) is affected by various fungal diseases. Of these, blight caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Sacc. (perfect state Glomerella cingulata (Stoneman) spaulding & Schrenk) is one of the major production constraints. In order to assess the loss due to Colletotrichum blight, yield of affected plants of two cultivars, Varlangey and Sawney was recorded. Yields were also recorded from healthy plants of the same cultivars for comparison. There was 46.8% reduction in the dry yield of infected plants of Varlangey and 34.5% reduction in dry yield of Sawney as compared to healthy plants. The infected plants of Varlangey were found dead in the first year itself causing 100% loss. Lack of maturity of seeds, increased husk weight of fresh capsules and decreased weight of dried capsules were observed in the infected plants. &nbsp

Colletotrichum blight control in large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) nursery

Experiments were conducted in large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) nursery using bioagents and chemicals to produce healthy planting materials free from blight caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Sacc. The results indicated that selection of apparently disease free mother plants and treating the rhizome and pseudostem (planting unit) with carbendazim+mancozeb (0.3%) or copper oxychloride (0.3%) would help in reducing the disease incidence in the nursery. Since Sikkim is an organic state, use of copper oxychloride can be recommended. &nbsp

Identity of Colletotrichum infections in large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.)

The pathogen causing blight and severe devastation of large cardamom in Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills was isolated and identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Sacc. {perfect state Glomerella cingulata (Stoneman) Spauld. & Schrenk}. We propose the name, Colletotrichum blight for the disease. &nbsp

Mapping cropland in Ethiopia using crowdsourcing

The spatial distribution of cropland is an important input to many applications including food security monitoring and economic land use modeling. Global land cover maps derived from remote sensing are one source of cropland but they are currently not accurate enough in the cropland domain to meet the needs of the user community. Moreover, when compared with one another, these land cover products show large areas of spatial disagreement, which makes the choice very difficult regarding which land cover product to use. This paper takes an entirely different approach to mapping cropland, using crowdsourcing of Google Earth imagery via tools in Geo-Wiki. Using sample data generated by a crowdsourcing campaign for the collection of the degree of cultivation and settlement in Ethiopia, a cropland map was created using simple inverse distance weighted interpolation. The map was validated using data from the GOFC-GOLD validation portal and an independent crowdsourced dataset from Geo-Wiki. The results show that the crowdsourced cropland map for Ethiopia has a higher overall accuracy than the individual global land cover products for this country. Such an approach has great potential for mapping cropland in other countries where such data do not currently exist. Not only is the approach inexpensive but the data can be collected over a very short period of time using an existing network of volunteers

Hail injury in large cardamom (Amomum subulatum Roxb.) at high altitudes of Sikkim

Hail injury as an abiotic stress factor affecting large cardamom (Amomum subulatum) in Sikkim during February-May and its implications are described. Hail damage to foliage appeared as bruising, shredding or physical mangling and on the pseudostem as open, ragged-edged wounds. In addition to direct damage caused by hails the wounds also served as infection court for fungal pathogens. Since hail occurred at flowering stage (February-May) of large cardamom, it resulted in physical damage of floral parts too and thus affected the yield. &nbsp
