A field experiment was conducted during spring 2011 at Agronomic Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan to evaluate the comparative efficacy Zn uptake and grain yield in three maize hybrids namely Pioneer-32F 10, Monsanto-6525 Hycorn-8288 through application form ZnSO4. The ZnSO4 treatments comprised; soil time sowing @ 12 kg·ha-1 (Zn1), foliar vegetative stage (9 leaf stage) 1% solution (Zn2) reproductive (anthesis) (Zn3) one treatment kept as a control, where...
Maize (Zea mays L.) is considered as high nutrient demanding crop and needs balanced nutrition.It also regarded sensitive to zinc deficiency.Zinc mostly deficient in soils application of fertilizer required explore its full potential.Crop species even cultivars within vary their Zn requirement.A field experiment was conducted during spring 2011 at Agronomic Research Area, University Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan evaluate the comparative efficacy uptake grain yield three maize hybrids...
Abstract Seed nutrients reserves have direct relationship with seed functional traits and influence offspring performance. Effects of plant density, foliage boron (B) nutrition mepiquat chloride (MC) growth regulation on reserves, mass production, emergence cotton were studied in two years field experiment. decreased at higher maternal density relative to lower concomitant decrease seedling growth. However, B MC enhanced mass, There was a significant positive between indicating that changes...
Rhynchosia capitata is becoming an increasing problem in summer crops, such as cotton, soybean, pearl millet and mungbean many Asian countries. Laboratory greenhouse studies have been conducted to determine the effects of several environmental factors on seed germination patterns seedling emergence R. capitata. We investigated whether diverse ecological temperature, light, salinity, moisture stress, pH, soil depth affected Germination increased temperature from 25ºC significantly reduced at...
Proper sowing orientation and spacing are important factors for best crop growth. A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different planting patterns with without lentil intercropping on sugarcane growth yield farm economics. Each these treatments were planted as sole intercropped lentil. Data collected plant cane first ratoon crop. The maximum stripped yields (154.36 t/ha 130.28 in crop, respectively) obtained from at 120 cm trench both well intercropped. This treatment also...
Abstract Agriculture is the most important sector of economy and livelihood in South Asia. Of many biotic stresses agriculture, weeds pose a continuous threat cause considerable yield losses major crops. In past, ample human labour was available for weed management However, recent years, there has been steady decline availability this region due to migration other better-paying sectors. Thus, farmers are rapidly adopting less labour-intensive, chemical control methods. Adoption methods...
Experiments were conducted to evaluate the allelopathic influence of Rhynchosia capitata on germination and seedling growth mungbean (Vigna radiate) along with identification phytotoxic substances responsible for this activity. Water extracts root, shoot, leaf, fruit whole plant prepared by soaking them in water a ratio 1:20 (w/v) 24 h. All affected mungbean, but higher inhibition was seen R. leaf extracts. A linear decrease characteristics observed concentration extract from 5% 1%. The...
Row spacing has a pivotal role in enhancing sugarcane yield and improving its quality. A study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of different planting techniques on performance at Agronomic Research Area, Department Agronomy, University Agriculture Faisalabad during Kharif 2014. Experimental treatments comprised of: 180 cm spaced trenches with tripple row strips, alternate 120 double strips 60 furrows single rows. Sugarcane cultivar HSF-240 used as experimental material. The conducted...
Tri-genomic Brassica napus L.wasdeveloped by the cross between napusand nigra. The crop is animportant source of vegetable seed oil in Pakistan,after cotton. low oilseed rape yield attributed to high temperature production zones. Interspecific hybridization using these two speciescan be helpful produce heat resistant hybrids. On other hand, it has been found that foliar application different plant growth regulators can used reduce stress Brassica. objectiveof this studywas test response...
To investigate the allelopathic effect of Marsilea minuta against germination and seedling growths rice (Oryza sativa) wheat (Triticum aestivum), bioassays were conducted in both Petri dish soil cultures laboratory conditions. Rice seeds allowed to germinate a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5% (w/v) aqueous extract whole plant 6, 8% (w/w) residue-incorporated soils M. minuta. In experiments, an mimuta showed significantly lower percentages (18.8% 56.3%), root lengths (0.9 4.5 cm), shoot (3.3 12.4 (4.1 25.0 dry...
Glycinebetaine (GB) plays an imperative role to mitigate the opposing impact of several environmental stresses in various crops. The objective this investigation was scrutinize response grape (Vitis vinifera L.) foliar application GB. Diverse levels GB (0, 10, 20 and 30 mM) were applied three times with fifteen days interval cv. King’s Ruby. All improved physiological, biochemical growth attributes grape. As compared control treatment, spray at mM increased number leaves/vine, leaf area...
The field trail was conducted at agronomy farm, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan during winter 2020-21, to observe the response micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Cu and B) on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Micronutrients play an important role in crop production wheat. deficiency is a major issue which decrease yield also deteriorate quality grains. experiment comprised foliar spray M0 (Control), M1 (Zn), M2 (Fe), M3 (Cu), M4 (B), M5 (Zn + Fe), M6 Cu), M7 B), M8 Fe treatments with three...
Application of green manures substitutes use chemical fertilizers, improves soil health, prevents degradation also ensures food security. Two years' field experiment was laid out to determine the impact Egyptian clover manuring (GM) under varying nitrogen (N) levels on properties and maize production. Maize grown using six N levels, i.e., 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg ha−1 along with GM without GM. The improved grain yield (+33%, +48%) due substantial improvement in grains/cob, 1000-grain...
Demand for sugar in Pakistan is increasing day by while the scope area of sugarcane limited.Conventional sowing techniques/planting patterns are one imperative reason low productivity Pakistan.Therefore, we assumed yield, quality and economics under square round pit planting techniques.During 2013-15 2015-16 at Faisalabad, experiment was arranged randomized complete block design.Planting techniques were comprised 45 cm spaced pits having 90 × cm, diameter 60 75 cm.After harvest first-year...
Abstract A field trial was conducted to determine the effects of harvest method (green cane versus preharvest burning) and different crop residue removal treatments on populations ground-inhabiting arthropod predators Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in first ratoon crop. Neither burning nor percentage after green had any significant effect numbers ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) (F = 1.00; df 4; P 0.412) or spiders (Araneae) 0.08; 0.921) captured pitfall traps. In...
