Nutrient management in sodic condition is much more important for economical production of wheat. A field experiment on salt affected soil was performed to evaluate the response of wheat (cv. Sehar) t ... Read More
Insufficient mobilization of pre-anthesis photosynthates from vegetative sources to reproductive sinks during achene growth and development plays a key role in reduced productivity of sunflower. Among ... Read More
Although most of the soils are rich in total phosphorus (P), but its large portion remains unavailable to plants and is considered as a limiting factor for plant growth especially in alkaline calcareo ... Read More
Extensive use of chromium in tanning and leather industry has created serious concerns for human health and environment. The tannery industry in Pakistan is one of the most developed industry therefor ... Read More
Drought is one of the major environmental constraints limiting crop productivity especially in dryland regions. Fifteen maize genotypes suitable for cultivation in rain-fed regions of Pakistan were ev ... Read More
Understanding of crop residue mineralization is imperative for crop residue management in crop production. C and N mineralization dynamics of rice and wheat residues under surface applied and soil inc ... Read More
Soil health is important for the sustainable development of terrestrial ecosystem. The soil health and fertility of eroded lands can be restored and improved through integration of farm yard manure (F ... Read More
Proper nutrient management is important to reduce yield losses due to salinity. In the present study response of two wheat genotypes was studied when foliar Zn and K were applied (0.2% of Zn, K and Zn ... Read More
Salinity drastically affects the productivity of vegetable crop plants. In this regard, Ca and S application can be helpful to improve the salinity tolerance in crop plants. Thus, an experiment was co ... Read More
Among abiotic stresses, drought is considered as the most important growth limiting factor, particularly in arid and semiarid regions. Plant tolerance to drought is mainly associated with the maintena ... Read More
L-tryptophan, an auxin precursor, is crucial for the regulation and coordination of many metabolic and physiological processes of plants. It was hypothesized that exogenous application of L-tryptophan ... Read More
Knowledge of soil spatial variability is important for the evaluation of agricultural land management practices in the context of precision agriculture. This research work was carried out to character ... Read More
Low soil P levels pose major limitation in realizing optimal growth and development of grain legumes and yet the suitable P levels of common chickpea cultivars (i.e. Black gram and Benazir) are not on ... Read More
Four varieties/advanced lines of brassica species, two from Napus (NIFA-Gold and NH-97-5/2-4) and two from Juncea (NIFA-Raya and 7x1/05-4) were tested in a field experiment at NIFA experimental farm. ... Read More
To investigate the impact of sugar crop intercropping and different levels of NPK fertilizers, a study was conducted at Agriculture Research Institute, Dera Ismail Khan. Sugarcane verity “HSF-240”and ... Read More
