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...

Background Bitter gourd requires well-drained sandy to loam soils for optimum growth, development, and germination, while its growth is retarded in extreme saline conditions. It very sensitive salinity stress, which imposes devastating limits on productivity. Thus, the impact of soil salinization economics bitter yield deserves scientific inquiry. Methods The present study was designed evaluate various morphological attributes (mean germination time, index, final emergence percentage,...

Both natural and man-made soil salinity is a chief geological disaster in semi-arid arid parts. In cultivated land, it has negative impact on plant development harvests, while non-agricultural zones, due to subsidence, corrosion groundwater quality, affects urban structures, leading additional erosion land deprivation. The study was conducted at central Punjab, Pakistan with the aim develop baseline show precision accuracy of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology for delineating no...

NPK fertilizer, in combination with bio-stimulants, is crucial promoting the growth and development of chili. This study investigates individual combined effects fertilizers a bio-stimulant (Hook) on morphological traits chili (Capsicum annuum L.) seedlings. Seven treatments were applied, including at three concentrations (1.5, 2.5, 3.5 g/L), Hook (10 ml/L as foliar spray), their combinations. The spray was applied 15 days after germination, while two split doses, one week germination 20...

Tomato production encounters various challenges due to a range of abiotic and biotic stresses. The increased consumption demand tomato in terms quality needs better strategies alleviate the effects different climatic These stresses can be mitigated by grafting which is an innovative technique tomato. present study highlights using scion-rootstock combinations on growth yield. Three cultivars viz. Roma, Bush beefsteak, Bushel Boy) were self cross grafted via cleft method Completely Randomized...

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...

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of exogenous application brassinolide (BR) on Leymus chinensis grown under shade, i.e., control (100% natural light), mild shade (70% and moderate (50% light). Shade substantially enhanced plant growth, synthesis photosynthetic pigments, efficiency, chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence attributes L. as compared with control. order increase > light except Chl content, where light. Likewise, BR resulted in further exacerbation height, fresh dry...

The fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are polyphagous insect pests. Different methods used to control this destructive pest including physical, chemical, genetic, and biological control. Biological comprises predators, parasitoids, pathogens. Now a day’s use of Entomopathogens is increasing very rapidly. Entomopathogenic fungi one the potential eco-friendly management alternatives conventional pesticides. most important include Beauveria bassiana Metarhizium anisopliae. These have specific...

ABSTRACT The present study was aimed at determining the allelopathic influence of water extracts varying concentrations (2.5% and 5% w/v) residues with decomposition periods (0, 15 30 days) 2% (w/w) concentration four weeds (Trigonella polycerata, Vicia sativa, Lathyrus aphaca, Medicago polymorpha) against rate, synchronization time germination, biomass partitioning rice through plant soil bioassays. Germination in plants were inhibited by residues. maximum decrease energy germination...

ABSTRACT: Weeds associated with crops may impose their phytotoxic effects on crop plants through the release of allelochemicals and hence seriously reduce productivity. The present study was conducted to investigate allelopathic effect water soluble phenolics weeds wheat (Vicia sativa, Trigonella polycerata, Lathyrus aphaca, Medicago polymorpha, Melilotus indica) germinability biomass production seedlings by using extracts at 2.5% (w/v) 5% concentrations residues same 0, 15 30 d...

Different agricultural substrates were evaluated for growth and productivity of cucumber under pot culture kitchen gardening. Several such as leaf compost, perlite, coconut compost used in with silt several combinations. Seeds sown plastic pots 9-L capacity filled growing various The study consisted eight treatments; each treatment had four replicates. Use different media alone or combination significantly enhanced plant productivity, compared to control. Results showed that maximum...

Salinity is an ancient environmental phenomenon and reflected as the most important process of land degradation. It widespread at variable degrees across world. A sand culture study was conducted in order to investigate performance exogenously applied triacontanol on two tolerant (Green long Marketmore) sensitive (Summer green 20252) genotypes cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) under salinity stress (NaCl 50 mM). The foliar application carried out @ 0.20, 0.40, 0.60, 0.80, 1.00 1.20 mg L-1....

Tomatoes are the most commercialized vegetable due their high nutritional content and health-promoting properties.
