An experiment on ginger was undertaken between April 2012 to March 2015 at Horticultural Research Station, Pechiparai with an objective to identify suitable ginger cultivar or accession with higher yield and quality attributes suitable for high rainfall zone of Tamil Nadu. Twenty four ginger genotypes, local strains and varieties were collected from different ginger growing tracts of India and evaluated for their performance in high rainfall region. Among the twenty four genotypes tested, the accession Z. O- 4 recorded higher fresh rhizome yield (22.16 ha-1) than other genotypes whereas Z. O - 6 recorded highest dry recovery per cent (22.47%). Higher oleoresin and fibre content was recorded in genotypes Z. O – 5 (9.56%) and Z . O – 17 (11.20%) respectively.

<p><em>Pepaya (Carica papaya L.) merupakan tanaman buah yang berpotensi sebagai sumber gizi dan struktur tajuknya memungkinkan untuk ditanami tanaman sela. Penanaman tanaman sela (alley cropping) adalah salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan produktivitas lahan. Tujuan penelitian mempelajari peningkatan produktivitas lahan pertanaman pepaya Sukma dengan tanaman sela beberapa jenis sayuran. Percobaan dilaksanakan di kebun Pusat Kajian Hortikultura Tropika (PKHT) Pasir kuda, Ciomas dan Laboratorium Pascapanen Departemen Agronomi dan Hortikultura, Fakultas Pertanian, Institut Pertanian Bogor, sejak bulan Februari – Juli 2016. Percobaan ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan jenis tanaman sayuran sebagai perlakuan. Perlakuan terdiri atas 4 macam tanaman sela dan 1 perlakuan kontrol. Tanaman sela yang digunakan adalah 1). Caisin, 2). Bayam, 3). Kangkung, dan 4). Basella alba. Pola tanaman sela dapat meningkatkan produktivitas lahan. Perlakuan tanaman sela Basella alba menghasilkan produksi sayuran yang tinggi. Perlakuan tanaman sela bayam menghasilkan bobot buah pepaya per petak yang tinggi sedangkan tanaman kangkung menghasilkan bobot per buah pepaya terendah. Perlakuan tanaman sela di antara tanaman pepaya tidak mempengaruhi pertumbuhan, mutu fisik dan mutu kimia buah pepaya.</em></p>

A reduction in crop productivity in cultivable land and challenging environmental factors have directed advancement in indoor cultivation systems, such that the yield parameters are higher in outdoor cultivation systems. In wake of this situation, light emitting diode (LED) lighting has proved to be promising in the field of agricultural lighting. Properties such as energy efficiency, long lifetime, photon flux efficacy and flexibility in application make LEDs better suited for future agricultural lighting systems over traditional lighting systems. Different LED spectrums have varied effects on the morphogenesis and photosynthetic responses in plants. LEDs have a profound effect on plant growth and development and also control key physiological processes such as phototropism, the immigration of chloroplasts, day/night period control and the opening/closing of stomata. Moreover, the synthesis of bioactive compounds and antioxidants on exposure to LED spectrum also provides information on the possible regulation of antioxidative defense genes to protect the cells from oxidative damage. Similarly, LEDs are also seen to escalate the nutrient metabolism in plants and flower initiation, thus improving the quality of the crops as well. However, the complete management of the irradiance and wavelength is the key to maximize the economic efficacy of crop production, quality, and the nutrition potential of plants grown in controlled environments. This review aims to summarize the various advancements made in the area of LED technology in agriculture, focusing on key processes such as morphological changes, photosynthetic activity, nutrient metabolism, antioxidant capacity and flowering in plants. Emphasis is also made on the variation in activities of different LED spectra between different plant species. In addition, research gaps and future perspectives are also discussed of this emerging multidisciplinary field of research and its development.
