16 SCIENTIFIC REPORTS OF THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH 



(■&.) The green-manuring experimental plots designed in 

 collaboration with the Imperial Agricultural Bacteriologist 

 were continued for the purpose of testing residues. The 

 yields from the different plots are not included in this 

 report as they show no departure from last season's results. 



(c) The experiments in collaboration with the Imperial 

 Mycologist regarding a method of dealing with die-back 

 disease in chillies were continued. 



(d) Six wheat varieties, Federation, Pusa 12, Pusa 4, 

 Cawnpore 13, Maroo Booji, and Lyallpur 8 A, which 

 yielded well last year, were grown in a series of plots. The 

 results owing to the deficiency of rainfall were in many 

 cases very poor. The highest yield was 24 maunds 25 seers 

 per acre from Federation, while the highest outturns of 

 Pusa 4, Pusa 12 and Cawnpore 13 were 15 maunds, 21 

 maunds, and 18 maunds respectively. 



(e) The experiments for comparing the comparative 

 economic value of the common leguminous crops were con- 

 tinued. There are two series of plots in this experiment. 

 One series is grown with kharif pulses to produce green 

 fodder in the kharif and is followed by winter pulses for 

 grain in the rabi season; the second series is for testing 

 grain outturn of both kharif and rabi pulses.
