International Agency for Standards and Ratings honors R. Krishnamurthy and Avani Kasture with Carl Nägeli Research Award-2015 in Agriculture for great scientific contribution
06 May, 2015, India, USA NEWS CORP
R. Krishnamurthy and Avani Kasture rock the world of Agriculture, while International Media reports confirmed their recognition on World’s 500 Most Influential Agronomists for Year 2015 on Earth. R. Krishnamurthy and Avani Kasture are awarded with Carl Nägeli Research Award-2015 in Agriculture. In a high profile international competition flooded with thousands of participants from several countries, India has once again proved it’s leadership in the area. R. Krishnamurthy and Avani Kasture won the meritorious competition and established the international leadership in Agriculture. International Agency for Standards and Ratings expressed it’s views that R. Krishnamurthy and Avani Kasture’s efforts will explore tremendous opportunities in this segment leading it to new height. It is surely a matter of pride for civilians of India to have such brain storming intellectuals for close interaction. India has once again confirmed a rich tradition to produce world renowned intellectuals to benefit international society.
Dr. Prof. R. Krishnamurthy is Director and Dean (Faculty of Science) at CGBIBT, Uka Tarsadia University, India. He did B.Sc(1981) and M.Sc (1983) from University of Madras and Ph.D, M.S. from University of Baroda in 1988. He has wide Professional Experiences as Lecturer, Asst. Professor, Professor & Director :- 7.0 Years(4.5 yrs with Integrated Biotechnology program of Veer Narmad South Gujarat University’s affliated college at Surat & 2.5 yrs with C G Bhakta Institute of Biotechnolgy,Uka Tarsadia University, Bardoli, Surat, Gujarat, India and Visiting Professor to University of Ilorin, Nigeria.
Avani Kasture is Ph.D scholar & Teaching Assistant at CGBIBT, Uka Tarsadia University, India. She has done B. Sc in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Chemistry from Amaravati University, Maharashtra, India in 2000-2003 and M. Sc in Biotechnology from Nagpur University, Maharashtra, India in 2003-2005. Presently she is Ph.D Scholar at UTU Gujarat Uka Tarsadia University.
R. Krishnamurthy and Avani Kasture from India made a historical victory over the international competition and won Carl Nägeli Research Award-2015 in Agriculture. Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'International Journal of Agriculture'. In their report on Impact of Planting Space, Irrigation Pattern and Different Concentration of Fertilizers on the Yield and Yield Related Parameters of Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus Linn) in South Gujarat Region of India they mention that Acorus calamus L. (Sweet flag) is a perennial herb indigenous to the Himalayan region of central Asia and India. It is one of the endangered medicinal plants, mostly found grown in wild form in forest without much consideration for domestication. A study was undertaken in a year under the kharif season of 2013 to assess the prospect of optimizing the rhizome yield of sweet flag (A. calamus L.) in South Gujarat region of India by maintaining different spacing, concentration of fertilizers and irrigation pattern under field conditions. The results of the investigations showed a significant increase in the yield of Acorus calamus rhizomes with treatment S1I1F1 planted with spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm, irrigation at three day intervals and fertilizer concentration of 100:40:40 kg NPK/ ha. Both fresh and dry weights of rhizomes in treatment S1I1F1 were 187.73 gm−1 (27310.84 kg ha-1) and 96.86 gm−1 (14093.3 kg ha-1) followed by treatment combination S1I1F2 with 178.66gm−1 (25986.77 kg ha-1) and 93.73gm−1 (13637.96 kg ha-1) respectively. Treatment combination S1I1F1 showed performance that was twice that recorded for S2I2F2, which is a clear indication that Irrigation pattern and spacing significantly influence yield and yield parameters of Acorus calamus under different concentration regime of fertilizers. These findings suggest the possibility of optimizing the rhizome yield of A. calamus, by maintaining proper plant spacing, irrigation pattern and different concentration of fertilizers under field. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. R. Krishnamurthy and Avani Kasture as valuable intellectuals for the India offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for India is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus India which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of R. Krishnamurthy and Avani Kasture to world.
The present study was conducted to evolve a suitable agro technique for large scale production of Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus by evaluating the impact of plant spacing, irrigation pattern and different concentration of fertilizers application on the yield and yield related parameters. Plant height, number of leaves and leaf width decreased with the increase in planting space, but increased with increase in fertilizer and irrigation regimes. Highest number of tillers and total number of leaves were obtained by treatment combinations S1I1F1. The rhizome yield per plant was significantly higher with spacing of S1 (30 x30 cm) and at fertilizer level F1 (100:40:40 kg NPK/ ha) as well as I1- 3 days irrigation interval during dry and hot months. The treatment combination of S1I1F1 recorded greatest rhizome yield per plant with fresh weight of 187.7 gm and dry weight of 96.86 gm followed by S1I1F2. The rhizome yield per hectare was significantly higher with the interaction of treatment combination S1I1F1.(S1 30 x 30 cm; Irrigation I1 – at 3 days interval and the fertilizer levels F1 100:40:40 kg NPK/ ha) recorded higher rhizome yield per hectare (dry weight) 14093.38 kgha-1 followed by treatment combination S1I1F2 (13637.96 kg ha-1).
