But, due to sufficient knowledge in varieties and cultivation package, farmers were not able to yield satisfying results. Methods: In this context, an experiment was conducted to study the performance of various strawberry varieties namely Sabrina, Winter Dawn, Chandler, Sweet Charlie, Cristal, Selva and Camarosa with different dates of planting like 1st November, 15th November, 1st December and 15th December under open conditions and fifty per cent shade net conditions. Result: Results revealed that the Variety Sweet Charlie was found to have the highest values of Anthocyanin content (21.07 mg/100 g and 18.71 mg/100 g), total soluble solids content (7.62°Brix and 6.88°Brix) and Total sugars (6.07% and 4.60%) in both the growing conditions. In addition Sweet Charlie also showed impressive results amongst the varieties in calcium content (9.51 mg/100 g and 9.41 mg/100 g) and Phosphorus cont...

Out of all the major vegetables, garden pea is a popular crop out here. Due to the insufficient knowledge regarding the scientific management of the crop, farmers were not able to reap the maximum returns out of it. Under such circumstances, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Karbi Anglong conducted demonstration programmes during the year 2019-20 and 2020-21 on scientific cultivation of Garden pea. Results revealed that the technology demonstrated had obtained higher plant height (51.94 cm), number of branches per plant (16.3 no) and days to flowering (41.58 d) than the farmers' practice which were 45.83 cm, 15.63 nos. and 52.17 days, respectively. In addition to that, the pod yield was higher in the demonstration plot (58.12 q/ha) than the farmers' practice which ended up its yield up to 46.84 q/ ha only. Moreover, the gross return in case of the scientific technology showed encouraging results (
