Abstract High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission is known as green-energy transfer technology and has recently become an attractive alternative of high-voltage alternating (HVAC) due to its high-power capability lower power loss. Use composite insulators on (DC) lines experienced rapid growth in recent years their high hydrophobicity better performance contaminated environment than conventional ceramic insulators. During service operation DC lines, are prone more accumulation...

This experimental study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant activities of Moringa oleifera leaf extract against Arsenic (As) induced toxicity in Cirrhinus mrigala Tawakkal Fish Hatchery at Muzaffargarh, Punjab, Pakistan. 288 fingerlings were collected from fish pond and kept circular tank for acclimatization. 12 about 100-day old having similar size selected randomly separate glass aquaria each treatment groups T1, T2, T3 control group T4. treatments T2 exposed with water born...

Bacterial canker of peach caused by Pseudomonas syringae is an increasing problem in Azad Jammu Kashmir with more than 50 pathovars on the basis host. A detailed survey was conducted growing areas and for determination disease prevalence incidence. Pathogen isolated characterized from collected samples using LOPAT GaTTA scheme. Furthermore results biochemical identification confirmed PCR followed sequencing obtained expected bands. For bio-management virulent pathogenic strains indigenous...

Phytophthora infestans causing late blight is one of the most devastating tomato and potato disease that caused considerable yield losses globally including Pakistan. Due to repeated injudicious synthetic fungicides applications for control potato, fungicide resistance in P. led persistence surveillance potato. The study was carried out evaluate efficacy Garlic (Allium sativum), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Turmeric (Curcuma longa), Mint (Mentha) at 10%, 20% 30% concentration as bio-fungicides...

Silicone rubber-based insulating polymers are extensively used in high voltage outdoor applications due to their hydrophobicity and better withstand performance. However, the main problem with polymeric composites is aging external environmental stresses (e.g. direct sunlight, humidity temperatures, ultraviolet radiations, etc.) as well strength of applied electrical field. In present work, for examining weight gain, hydrophobicity, hardness, five different types HTV silicone hybrid...

Plant improvement strategies involve diverse techniques, ranging from traditional to marker-assisted methods, as well chemical and radiation treatments. However, these methods can introduce imprecise changes in plant DNA. Accelerating enhancement is crucial meet global food demand, but current are time-consuming. Scientists revolutionizing breeding by employing various techniques develop crops with specific attributes, such increased yield pest resistance, aligning environmental societal...

This paper investigates the effect of test voltage level on performance silicone rubber in inclined plane tracking and erosion test. Silicone composites, filled with either alumina tri-hydrate or ground silica to 30 wt% 50 wt%, are tested under 2.5 kV, 3.5 4.5 kV. The degradation patterns surfaces found dependent during test, as dry-band arcing tends form tracks relatively mild voltages deep critical voltage. These findings confirm importance employing while evaluating resistance In...

The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of different hormonal concentrations on in vitro growth and multiplication rice seeds. experiment performed tissue culture laboratory, department biotechnology, UAJ&K Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir. Seeds were collected from local market. surface sterilized with Chlorox i. e. (30, 50 %) germination percentage calculated. maximum (70 recorded for seeds treated 50% chlorox. Whereas minimum (37.5%) 70% cultured MS medium supplemented varying...

This paper investigates the tracking and erosion performance of silicone rubber filled with alumina trihydrate under DC dry band arcing in inclined plane test (IPT). Alumina is incorporated into at 50 wt.% loading level for preparing composites, which are exposed to mild severe voltage levels test. Test outcomes indicate that mechanism deterioration changes respect severity arcing. It found tends stimulate surface due thermal degradation relatively higher (critical). Moreover, results not...

Fusarium wilt is a devastating disease of Chili in Pakistan and its management very difficult. Therefore the studies were conducted in-vitro conditions. Mmycelium appeared yellow, reddish-brown or blue-black color. Macro conidia short, straight, 40-75 x 25.5-5 micron long 5-8 septate. Micro consist 1-3 septate, with short beak 22-48 3.4 microns. The results showed that present high frequency throughout districts surveyed. maximum incidence was recorded Hyderabad (55%) whereas; from Tando...

The present study was conducted to record incidence and severity of citrus canker screen species against this disease. A detailed survey in 19 nurseries 13 commercial orchards Peshawar division during 2011. It observed that almost all the were severely affected by highest disease (100%) (31.54%) New Tarnab nursery (Mention name district here). Among orchards, Shado II showed comparatively more (2.92%) as compared other orchards. Bacteria, isolated from symptomatic plant samples on nutrient...

(Solanum tuberosum L.) potato is globally an imperative crop. Various biotic constraints affect its yield production and market value. Streptomyces scabies one of them which reduce the value besides meet requirements for rhizomes. The findings were conducted to appraise pathogenic variation, pathogenicity, morphological biochemical depiction species linked by tubers grown-up happening Poonch (district). Disease incidence index variation in data disease be there being cultivated means...

The current study was carried out on the prevalence of mycoflora associated with maize seeds using blotter paper method. Maize seed samples were collected from six different locations district Poonch, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Objective this to determine fungi seeds. A total seven species isolated.
