Heat stress alleviates yield and production of horticultural crops is considered a major risk for sustainable agriculture. Melatonin acts as first line soldier to regulate plant growth by creating conducive environment under heat stress. Thus, the present study was performed in pots mitigate adverse impact on four genotypes tomato (two were sensitive two tolerant) through exogenous application melatonin. The experiment comprised treatments, control foliar spray melatonin @ 25 µM, factorial...
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...
IntroductionT inda gourd (Citrullus vulgaris) is a nutritious vegetable that belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae.In Pakistan, total land covered by tinda 10,588 ha with an annual production of 101,734 tons.Punjab leading province for its cultivation (6,170 hectares) and (61,929 tons), followed Abstract | Salinity major issue vulgaris L.) throughout world.In pot experiment, five selected genotypes i.e., Green ball, Dilpasand, Durga, Round gold, Indian desi were sown.One month after emergence,...
A pot study was performed under greenhouse condition to check the possibility that using Trichoderma harzianum could improve growth, production and quality of watermelon genotype. Plant growth medium inoculated with T. at 1 × 104 cfu, 1.25 cfu 1.50 respectively, while un-inoculated fungi used as control treatment. higher concentration (1.50 cfu) significantly increased plant root shoot length brings early flowering. The values fresh dry weight, leaf area, stomatal conductance, transpiration...
Soil salinity harmfully effect bell pepper production being salt sensitive crop. The aim of this study was to compare capsicum (bell-pepper) cultivars for their ability tolerate stress. Electrical conductivity different levels i.e., control (no sodium chloride), 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 dS m-1, developed by using NaCl, after 30 days seedling emergence six (Yolo Wonder, California Cop-amber Hybrid, F1 Pangs No. 206, Sweet Pepper F1, Kaka F1). These were evaluated based on morphological (shoot...
