Certain rhizobacteria have the potential of lowering endogenous ethylene levels in plants because of their 1- aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC)-deaminase activity and promoting root growth. This m ... Read More
A survey was carried out to examine and map the Fe status in the soil and foliage of apple orchards in the Murree region to assess the Fe status. Thirteen apple orchards were selected and surveyed fro ... Read More
A field experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of different S levels ( 0, 25, 50 and 75 kg S ha-1 ) on growth and ionic concentration of wheat variety (Inqlab-91 ) directly sown in a saline ... Read More
Selection of salt-tolerant genotypes is important to grow crop plants on salt-affected areas to fulfill the increasing demand of food. Present study was conducted to screen the maize hybrids for salt ... Read More
It is an established fact that temporary waterlogging occurs at first irrigation to wheat crop in rice-wheat cropping system. This is also true in saline sodic soils. Wheat crop becomes pale yellow ju ... Read More
Drought causes considerable reduction in plant growth. A hydroponic experiment was conducted to appraise the potential role of exogenously applied ascorbic acid in alleviating the effect of drought on ... Read More
Study to find out the response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars to exogenous application of 100 mM glycinebetaine (GB) at different growth stages (vegetative, flowering and grain filling) was ... Read More
A bulk soil sample collected from the vicinity of PSM (Premier Sugar Mill) Mardan was amended with diammonium phosphate (DAP), triple super phosphate (TSP), Farm Yard Manure (FYM) and poultry manure ( ... Read More
The development of symbiotic relationship between rhizobia and leguminous plants results in active nitrogen fixation and plays a marvelous role in agriculture systems. L-tryptophan (L-TRP) is an amino ... Read More
During the last couple of decades, it has been demonstrated that rhizobia can associate with roots of nonlegumes also without forming true nodules, and can promote their growth by using one or more of ... Read More
For successful application of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) in salt-affected soil, bioinoculant with salttolerant property is required in order to provide better survival and perform well in ... Read More
Soil biological health is one of the best indicators for soil fertility thus plays a significant role in sustainability of cropping systems. This study was designed to investigate the impact of differ ... Read More
The major source of water for Indus basin is snowmelt runoff from the northern areas of Pakistan. The agricultural and hydropower is mainly dependent on the snowmelt runoff. The temperature is the maj ... Read More
Emission of Green House Gases (GHGs) from various sources into the atmosphere causes rise in air temperature. This addition of GHGs has a great impact on the environment. Among the GHGs, carbon dioxid ... Read More
A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate performance of four upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) varieties, Deir-Ezzor22, Niab78, Aleppo118 and Deltapine50 grown under non-saline conditions (contr ... Read More
Soil salinity is a major problem of agriculture in Pakistan. Permanent solution of salinity problem is removal of salts by leaching and drainage whic is expensive. So research efforts should involve p ... Read More
Salinity is a multidimensional stress affecting crop yield and productivity at various levels of plant organization. To assess salt induced adverse effects on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), ten culti ... Read More
Effect of eight compounds on nitrification of the applied (NH4)2 SO4 was studied in two soils incubated at high (35°C) and moderate (16°C) temperatures. The tested compounds included: 1H-benzotriazole ... Read More
Soil characteristics of Chakwal district were evaluated through physical and chemical analyses. Representative soil samples received/collected from farmers fields were analyzed for texture, electrical ... Read More
Improvement of soil physical properties through orchard floor management is a desired option because it results in improved yields, better nutrients and water use efficiency and reduced runoff. Studie ... Read More
