Cucumber is an important vegetable but highly sensitive to salt stress. The present study was designed investigate the comparative performance of cucumber genotypes under stress (50 mmol L-1) and alleviation through optimized level triacontanol @ 0.8 mg L-1. Four were subjected foliar application Different physiological, biochemical, water relations ionic traits observed determine role in alleviation. Triacontanol ameliorated lethal impact all genotypes, Green long Marketmore more responsive...

Potential role of triacontanol applied as a foliar treatment to ameliorate the adverse effects salinity on hot pepper plants was evaluated. In this pot experiment, under 75 mM NaCl stress environment were subjected application 25, 50, and µM treatments; whereas, untreated taken control. Salt had significant impact morphological characteristics, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, MDA content, antioxidants activities, electrolytes leakage, vitamin C, soluble protein, proline...

Land transportation is a major source of heavy metal contamination along the roadside, posing significant risks to human health through inhalation, oral ingestion, and dermal contact. Therefore, this study has been designed determine concentrations vehicular released metals (Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu) in roadside soil leaves two commonly growing native plant species (Calotropis procera Nerium oleander).Two busy roads i.e., Lahore-Okara road (N-5) Okara-Faisalabad (OFR) Punjab, Pakistan, were selected...

Climatic conditions play a significant role in the development of citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri pv . ( Xcc ). Citrus is regarded as one major threats being faced industry growing countries world. factors exert impacts on growth stage, host susceptibility, succulence, vigor, survival, multiplication rate, pathogen dispersion, spore penetration and germination. Predicting climatic these traits could aid effective management strategies against disease. This study predicted...

Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the most widely grown and consumed fruits in Pakistan all around world due to their distinct aroma taste. In 2018, anthracnose symptoms were observed on banana fruit harvested from different plantations Sindh- a major producing Province Pakistan. Approximately, 25% collected infected. The consisted small brown reddish-brown spots surface then became sunken lesions as disease progressed. To identify pathogen, infected tissues (5 mm diameter) margin sterilized by...

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a non-climacteric and favorite fruit of tropical, sub-tropical arid regions the world. During survey in autumn 2019, leaf lesions were observed on plants (cv. Kandhari) different orchards Muzaffargarh (30°4'27.7572″ N, 71°11'4.7544″ E), major pomegranate-producing region Punjab Province. Disease incidence ranged from 17 to 20%. Leaf initially small (1 3 mm diameter), round, purple or reddish-brown, scattered spots. At later stages, spots increased size...

Production of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) in Malaysia was 150,000 mt 2020 (Malaysian Department Agriculture, 2021). In November 2019, nine locally produced fruit (red flesh, seedless) from five local stores the states Kelantan, Terengganu, and Penang exhibited sunken, circular, brown lesions that enlarged to1.5 to 10 cm diameter with scattered orange masses conidia. Lesions coalesced cover approximately 50% surface. were surface sterilized by spraying 70% alcohol onto followed drying...
