Research on nanoparticles (NPs) is gaining great attention in modulating abiotic stress tolerance and improving crop productivity. Therefore, this investigation was carried out to evaluate the effects of copper oxide (CuO-NPs) growth biochemical characteristics two maize hybrids (YH-5427 FH-1046) grown under normal conditions or subjected saline stress. A pot-culture experiment Botanical Area “the University Lahore”, Lahore, Pakistan, a completely randomized design. At phenological stages,...

Soil salinity drastically hinders cotton productivity (Gossypium hirsutum), and fiber quality. The current study evaluated morpho-physiological biochemical responses of fifty genotypes under different levels (control, 12 dS/m, 17 dS/m) at the seedling stage. experiment was performed in a factorial complete randomized design with three replications. Significant genotype × treatment interactions were observed for most traits, including shoot length (SL), root (RL), fresh dry weight (FSW, DSW),...

Drought stress substantially restricts cotton growth, decreasing production potential worldwide. This study evaluated genotypes at the flowering stage to identify drought-resilient under moderate and severe drought conditions using physio-morphic biochemical markers. Five were examined in a completely randomized design with three replicates across treatments. Growth traits measured after 14 days of stress. The Multi-trait Genotype-Ideotype Distance Index (MGIDI) identified most...

The present investigation was conducted to explore the role of potassium nutrition in improving biomass and physio-chemical alterations reduce adverse effects salinity mungbean. A sand-culture experiment carried out under different levels (0, 50, 100 mM NaCl) with two (0 50 K2SO4) mungbean cultivars (NM-92 Ramzan), metabolic activities were investigated. results suggested that significantly reduced biomass, nitrate reductase activity (NRA), nitrite (NiRA), total soluble proteins, chlorophyll...

Lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni) are serious soil pollutants that adversely affect plant growth development need to be removed through phytoremediation. The present study aimed assess the morphological indices of Albizia lebbeck (L.) (Benth.) in relation anatomical modifications for survival under both Pb Ni stress. seedlings A. were established then subjected four different concentrations, viz. 0 mM, 25 50 mM 75 14 days two phases. Morphological traits such as shoot length (70.93%), fresh weight...

Climate change has affected the food supply chain and raised serious concerns for humans animals worldwide. The present investigation aimed to assess effect of environmental factors along with three different levels cutting (i.e., 1, 2, 3 at vegetative, budding, flowering stages, respectively) spacing 21, 23, 26 cm) on quinoa biomass quality select most suitable accessions. This experiment was repeated two years using a split–split plot experimental design. × genotype year space interactions...

Nano-biochar is a source of blackish carbonaceous material, prerequisite for sustainable crop productivity. By using variety feedstock materials, nanobiochar synthesis can be employed via pyrolysis. Therefore, project was initiated to explore the morpho-physio-biochemical alteration at vegetative stage wheat crops after foliar application suspension (NBS). This investigation conducted Botanical Research Area University Lahore in randomized complete block design (RCBD) arrangement, with four...

Nutrient deficiency negatively affects the yield and quality of citrus fruit. The present experiment was carried out to investigate improvement in fruit juice Kinnow (Citrus reticulata L.) by foliar application nano-biochar suspension (NBS). a farmer’s orchard with history low yield, using randomized complete block design. Four NBS treatments, i.e., 0% (control), 1, 3, 5%, were applied through at flowering stage. Foliar 5% 3% significantly (p < 0.05) improved flowering, retention, set,...
