Water deficiency significantly affects photosynthetic characteristics. However, there is little information about variations in antioxidant enzyme activities and characteristics of soybean under imbalanced water deficit conditions (WDC). We therefore investigated the changes chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics, total soluble protein, Rubisco activity (RA), enzymatic two varieties subjected to four different types WDC a split-root system. The results indicated that response both...
Background: Waste-land weeds present around the fields exert their allelopathic influence on crops through leaf leachates and rhizospheric soils. Objective: A study was conducted to investigate phytotoxic action of four common waste-land Parthenium hysterophorus L., Achyranthes aspera Lantana camara L. Withania somnifera aqueous extracts soils against winter Avena sativa Cicer arietinum Hordeum vulgare Triticum aestivum Methods: Experiments were in Agronomy laboratory College Agriculture at...
A half-root stress is a half portion of the root system exposed to treatment while remaining kept under normal conditions. including drought stress, nutrient and salinity has become general approach improve plant performance adaptability. Plants produce some chemical signals in stressed part root, other parts sense these acclimation adaptive responses environmental stresses. adapt compensatory functions discriminate systemic local regulatory mechanisms, but understanding mechanisms...
: Leptochloa chinensis (L.) Nees (Chinese sprangletop) is a weed that becoming serious threat in upland and lowland rice. A field study was conducted at the Agronomic Research Farm, University of Sargodha, Punjab, Pakistan, during summer seasons 2018 2019 to evaluate effect L. density on yield direct-seeded fine Treatments comprised densities 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 25 plants m-2, experiment laid out randomized complete block design with four replications each treatment. The results suggest...
Zinc (Zn) is a key mineral nutrient for plant and human growth its deficiency can reduce the development, however; agronomic bio-fortification cure Zn deficiency. By using different fertilization approaches, this study investigated role impact on phenology, yield of maize during two growing seasons 2015 2016. The treatments comprised of: no application (ZnC0), basal 10 kg ZnSO4.7H2O ha-1 (ZnB1), 15 (ZnB2), foliar 1% solution (ZnF3), 1.5% (ZnF4) applied to hybrids (YSM-112 DK-6525). hybrid...
The study was aimed to explore the phytotoxic potential of Sonchus oleraceus L. on emergence and seedling growth Echinocloa cruss-galli quantification allelochemicals present in leaves, stem fruit S. weed. experiment comprised aqueous extracts leaf, roots fruits applied at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 8% (w/v) along with a control (0%). Data regarding seed emergence, index, percentage, root length, shoot length dry weight recorded. All tested concentrations all parts significantly inhibited percentage...
<p>Vegetables are consequently experiencing great yield losses due to weed infestation. Weed management is extremely important for sustainable crop production in all cropping systems. This review paper aimed provide general information and alternative recommendations the of <em>Parthenium hysterophorus</em> by chemicals, adjuvants plant extracts okra. Different strategies have been used control parthenium, but no single solution sufficient handle parthenium; hence,...
The poor weed control is the main reason of low seed yield green gram in Pakistan
Red sprangletop (Leptochloa chinensis L.) is a problematic weed of aerobic rice (Oryza sativa that greatly reduces in yield. The laboratory studies were undertaken to confirm allelopathicity its plant leachates and soil-decomposition residues towards emergence seedling growth rice. In first experiment, aqueous extracts from various parts red (stem, root, leaves, flower entire plant) at their 5% (w/v) concentration applied germinating seeds. second soil-decomposed variable concentrations (2,...
