L-Methionine (L-MET) is an established precursor of ethylene (C2H4) which is known to induce early flowering and ripening of fruits. Therefore, exogenous application of L-MET may induce early flowerin ... Read More
Pesticides are widely used in different parts of the world to control insect pests and to enhance crop production. However, these pesticides are found to have deleterious effects due to their non-degr ... Read More
Sindh is the major banana growing province in Pakistan with potential for improving yields through proper nutrient management. This study investigated the influence of integrated use of the organic am ... Read More
A field experiment was conducted with the objectives to improve nitrogen use efficiency, reduce the cost of production and improve the wheat yield and quality on sustained basis. Trial was conducted f ... Read More
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of integrated use of organic and inorganic nitrogen (N) sources on rice-wheat yield and yield parameters, soil organic carbon content and nitrate leachi ... Read More
Rock phosphate (RP) is a valuable source of plant available phosphorus (P) however its solubility in alkaline soils is negligible when applied directly. We studied the possibility of solubilizing RP b ... Read More
A field experiment was conducted at Biochemistry Section, Post Harvest Research Center, Faisalabad to evaluate the effect of different organic materials and chemical fertilizers on yield and quality o ... Read More
Water shortage at precarious growth stages diminishes the wheat production, however regulated deficit irrigation and potassium fertilization ameliorate its adversities to a certain extent. A pot exper ... Read More
Owing to increasing water scarcity, irrigation techniques always play an important role to boost-up agricultural production by enhancing the efficiency of irrigation water use. Field experiments were ... Read More
To compare the effect of planting time and N levels on phenology and seed cotton yield of Bt and non -Bt cotton, an experiment was laid out at Students’ Farm, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pa ... Read More
The objective of this study was to evaluate the residual effect of conventional (CT) and zero tillage (ZT) methods after wheat 2013-14 on moisture dynamics after three consecutive seasons under rice- ... Read More
The experiment was performed using two cultivars (FH-331 and FH-385) of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) to study the arsenic distribution pattern in different plant tissues. Arsenic was applied at 0, ... Read More
The field study was conducted to determine association of soil physico-chemical properties with plant available macronutrients in Taluka Ghora Bari district Thatta. A total of 100 soil samples were co ... Read More
Water scarcity at critical growth stages reduces the maize productivity; however, potassium (K) nutrition can ameliorate its adversities to a certain extent. This study was conducted to evaluate the r ... Read More
In this study, we have evaluated the genetic diversity and plant growth promoting traits of endophytes isolated from Oxalis corniculata. These strains were also screened for heavy metal resistance. Tw ... Read More
Due to water scarcity, the use of underground brackish water in an efficient way is a dire need to improve soil conditions as well as crop growth. To obtain this objective, a field study was conducted ... Read More
Soil erosion is a serious threat to counter global population growth with increased and sustainable agricultural production. Torrential rains in sub-mountainous areas of Pakistan yields tremendous amo ... Read More
