intellectual inspiration, keen interest, constant encouragement, unlimited patience and
parental affection with cheerful smiling gesture. I consider myself fortunate in having
guided by him.
I equally and ineffably cheered to place on record my obligation and gratitude
to my Advisory Committee Member Dr. S. D. Upadhyaya (Professor, Department of
Plant Physiology), Dr. (Smt.) Anubha Upadhayay(Associate Professor) Department of
Plant Physiology, JNKVV, Jabalpur whose rationale, keen and continued interest,
encouragement-inspiring advice and generous help in carrying out the relevant
experiment required for my research work.
I also take opportunity to thanks Proff. V.S. Tomar, Hon’ble Vice-chancellor,
JNKVV, Jabalpur, Dr. P.K. Mishra, Dean Faculty, JNKVV, Jabalpur, Dr. S.K. Rao,
Director of Research Services, JNKVV, Jabalpur, Dr. Dhirendra Khare, Director of
Instructions, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, Jabalpur, Dr. P.K. Bisen, Director of
Extension Services, JNKVV, Jabalpur, Dr. (Smt.) Om Gupta, Dean, College of
Agriculture, JNKVV, Jabalpur and Dr. V.K. Pyasi, Dean Students Welfare, JNKVV,
Jabalpur for providing me all necessary facilities during theresearch work.
I owe my sincere thanks to all my teachers Dr. A. S. Gontia, Professor & Head
of the Department, Dr. S. K. Dwivedi, Professor; Dr. A. B. Tiwari, Asstt. Professor;
