13. (B) Initial Soil Parameters Experimental Details

14. Fertilizer application on Trial Plots

15. Fertilizer recommendation via Nutrient Response Curve along with economic analysis Note: • Researcher can use several tools to recommend fertilizer dose which should be a valid and well referenced method. • Fertilizer recommendation only on the basis of significant yield approach is not acceptable.

16. (C) Disease Damage Scoring • Information regarding disease management (if any) • Time of disease scoring : Days after seeding or transplanting / stage of crop. • Disease management: • Name of treatment apply: • Dose, method and mode of application: • Time and number of apply:

17. Disease Scoring data Note: Disease Reaction (DR) : 0-2 = Resistant (R); 3-4 = Moderately resistant (MR); 5-7 = Susceptible (S); 8-9 = Highly susceptible (HS) Example : scoring for rice blast: 0 = immune; 1= brown spot in pin point size; 2= 1-2 mm diameter; 3= size 1-2mm but many lesions; 4= ≥3mm size, infection with ≤ 4% leaf area; 5= ≥3mm size, infection with 4-10 % leaf area; 6= ≥3mm size , infection with ≥11-25%; 7= ≥3mm size , infection with ≥26-50%; 8= ≥3mm size , infection with ≥51-75%; 9= ≥3mm size , infection with >75%

18. Disease Scoring…… • Disease Scoring should be included for major diseases of respective crops • Example: Rice: blast, bacterial leaf blight, brown spot etc. • Wheat: Rust, foliar blight etc. • Maize: GLS, NLB, SLB, ear rot etc. • Potato/tomato: late blight, wilt, viral disease etc. • Please show picture of disease in field condition, if possible

19. (D) Insect-Pest Damage Scoring • Information regarding insect pest management (if any) • Time of scoring : Days after seeding or transplanting / stage of crop. • Insect Pest management: • Name of treatment apply: • Dose, method and mode of application: • Time and number of apply:

20. Insect-Pest Scoring data Varietal resistance scoring (0-9 scale) to major insect pests BPH: 0-9 scale: 0 = no damage (HR), 1 = slight yellowing of the plant (R), 3 = Leaves partially yellow (MR), 5 = Leaves with pronounced yellowing and some stunting (MS), 7 = Wilting of the plant (S), 9 = Death of whole plant (HS). Stem borer: 0-9 scale: 0 = no white ear (HR), 1 = 1-5% white ear (R), 3 = 6-10% white ear (MR), 5 = 11-15% white ear (MS), 7 = 16-25% white ear (S), 9 = 26% & above white ear (HS). Percent white ear or dead heart (in 10 hills) = no of dead heart or white ears ÷ no of effective or productive tillers × 100. HR: highly resistant, R: resistant, MR: moderately resistant, MS: moderately susceptible, S: susceptible, HS: highly susceptible.

21. Observation Nursery / IET /CVT • Major agronomical traits along with Yield performance of genotypes in farmers field ?

22. Farmers Field Trial (FFT), participatory trials data/information and stakeholders’ preferences • Stakeholders’ overall preference : • Farmers’ response and feedback over the variety including audio-visual clips Major traits of stakeholders’ interest include 1. Agronomic data 2. Stress tolerance 3. Quality traits 4. Economic value 5. Others (specify if any)

24. Economic Analysis • Cost- Benefit Analysis

25. Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability of the Variety Distinctness • Morphological characteristics • Major identifying characteristics of a crop variety for its authenticity : • Molecular characteristics (if available): Uniformity • Plant height, days to flowering from seeding, days to maturity from seeding, yield • Yield Component ( No. of tillers, grain no., etc)

26. Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability of the Variety…. Stability • Combined analysis report over the location/season/years • Include at least top 10 promising genotypes • Include yearly and location mean grain yield data for each genotype, combine crop duration also ? • If possible, include correlation of maturity, plant height, no. of grains/panicle or pod and seed size to grain yield
