ABSTRACT:India is the second largest producer of vegetable in the world (ranks next to China only). India share 12 percent of world production of vegetable with a productivity of about 15 tons per ha which is quite low as compared to many countries. In India transplanting of vegetable seedling is done manually all over the country, as no machine is yet available commercially for this work. High labour requirement and shortage of labour during peak transplanting season causes delay in transplanting and affects timely operation. To meet the requirements of a vegetable transplanter a semi-automatic two-row tractor drawn vegetable transplanter developed at PAU, Ludhiana.

ABSTRACT: A trial was conducted to study the effect of White rot Fungi ( Pleurotus tuber-regium ) degraded cassava peels (FDCP) on haematological indices of lactating WAD ewes. Fifteen lactating WAD ewes, arranged in a completely randomized design, with 5 treatments and three replicates, were used. The treatments comprised; a control diet ( T1 ) containing 32 % un-degraded cassava peels (UDCP) and Four (4) graded levels of FDCP diets; T2, T3, T4 and T5 with 8%, 16%, 24% and 32% levels of inclusion, respectively. The experimental animals were each fed 500 g of the diets between 8:00 – 12:00 hours and thereafter allowed access to natural pasture dominated by A. tectorum throughout the period of the trial
