Groundnut (or peanut, earthnut, monkey nut) is taxonomically classified as Arachis hypogaea and it belongs to family Fabaceae (Leguminosae). In Pakistan, the groundnut is mainly cultivated in rain fed areas, mostly in Punjab, also in some areas of Sindh and North-West Frontier Province. A field experiment was carried out at the Horticultural Research area, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam during the year 2021. Two ground nut cultivarrs (“Golden” and “Bari-2011”) were used and sulphate of potash (SOP) was used @ 60, 80, 100 kg ha-1as treatments. Different growth and yield related parameters were studied in this experiment, such as days to flowering, plant height (cm), canopy width (cm), pods plant-1, kernels plant-1, 100 kernels weight, pod yield ha-1, edible portion (%) and non-edible portion (%). Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used with three replications. Results revealed that the potassium applied @ 80 kg ha-1 significantly affected for canopy width (1213.5 cm), pods plant-1 (52.27), kernels plant-1 (100.99), weight of 100 kernels (58.07 g), pod yield (1590.4 kg ha-1) and edible portion (63.50 %). To compare cultivars, Bari-2011 had superior results for early flowering (28.37 days), plant height (18.68 cm), canopy width (1102.9 cm), pods plant-1 (48.00), kernels plant-1 (94.43), weight of 100 kernels (55.26 g), yield (1543.6 kg ha-1) and edible portion (65.31%) as compared to Golden. The results revealed that potassium application at 80 kg ha-1 produced better results for growth and pod yield related attributes of the groundnut. Whereas, “Bari-2011” responded significantly better for growth and yield related parameters as compared to “Golden”
花生(或花生、花生、猴坚果)在分类学上属于豆科(豆科)。在巴基斯坦，花生主要种植在雨养地区，主要在旁遮普，也在信德省和西北边境省的一些地区。2021年，在位于坦多贾姆的信德省农业大学园艺研究区进行了一项田间试验。使用两个花生品种(“Golden”和“Bari-2011”)，分别在60、80和100 kg ha-1处理下施用硫酸钾(SOP)。本试验研究了开花天数、株高(cm)、冠层宽度(cm)、荚果株-1、籽粒株-1、100粒重、荚果产量ha-1、可食部分(%)和不可食部分(%)等不同生长和产量相关参数。采用随机完全区组设计(RCBD)，共3个重复。结果表明:施钾80 kg ha-1显著影响了水稻的冠宽(1213.5 cm)、荚果株系1(52.27)、籽粒株系1(100.99)、百粒重(58.07 g)、荚果产量(1590.4 kg ha-1)和可食部分(63.50%)。对比各品种，巴里-2011在开花早(28.37天)、株高(18.68 cm)、冠宽(1102.9 cm)、荚果1(48.00)、籽粒1(94.43)、100粒重(55.26 g)、产量(1543.6 kg ha-1)和可食部分(65.31%)方面均优于金。结果表明，80kg hm -1施钾对花生生长和荚果产量相关性状的影响较好。而“巴里-2011”对生长和产量相关参数的反应明显优于“黄金”。

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for wheat production and about half of total P fertilizers are consumed by only wheat in Pakistan. Hence, keeping in mind the ever-increasing input cost of P fertilizers, it becomes highly imperative to identify modern wheat genotypes for their P-use-efficiency. The experiment was consisted two factor completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Factor A comprised of two levels of soil applied P i.e.0 Kg ha-1 (Control) and 90 Kg ha-1, while factor B involved six wheat genotypes (Benazir, Imdad -2005, TD-I, Kiran-95, Tj-83, Sindhu). Results showed that as against its deficient condition, adequate P nutrition (90 kg P ha-1) enhanced shoot length (28%), root length (8.9%), fresh shoot weight (97%), fresh root weight (20%), no of leaves per plant (9.3%), leaf area index (130%), dry weight of shoot (83%), dry weight of root (16.5%) of wheat genotypes. Wheat genotype exhibited wide genotypic variation for their P biomass efficiency. Most interestingly, the Phosphorus efficiency ratio (PER) of the wheat genotypes was greater for TJ-83 and Sindhu. The genotype TJ-83 and Sindhu were the most biomass productive genotypes followed by Benazir and Kiran-95 in the uthal region of the Baluchistan. The study concluded that under P deficiency stress, enhanced efficient wheat genotypes determines their growth and biomass production. The genotype Sindhu was categorized as ‘efficient-responsive’ wheat genotype in terms of biomass production, most desirable both for low and high input sustainable agriculture system, Further validation of these results is required under field conditions at Uthal region Balochistan.
磷(P)是小麦生产的必需养分，在巴基斯坦，仅小麦就消耗了约一半的磷肥料。因此，考虑到磷肥料投入成本的不断增加，鉴定现代小麦基因型以提高其磷利用效率变得非常必要。试验采用2因素完全随机设计(CRD)， 3个重复。因子A包括两个土壤施用水平，即0 Kg ha-1(对照)和90 Kg ha-1，而因子B涉及6种小麦基因型(Benazir、Imdad -2005、TD-I、Kiran-95、Tj-83、Sindhu)。结果表明，与缺磷相比，磷营养充足(90 kg P hm -1)可使小麦基因型的茎长(28%)、根长(8.9%)、鲜梢重(97%)、鲜根重(20%)、单株叶数(9.3%)、叶面积指数(130%)、茎干重(83%)、根干重(16.5%)提高。小麦的磷生物量效率表现出广泛的基因型差异。最有趣的是，TJ-83和Sindhu基因型的磷效率比(PER)更高。在俾路支省北部地区，TJ-83和Sindhu基因型是生物量产量最高的基因型，其次是Benazir和Kiran-95。研究认为，在缺磷胁迫下，增效小麦基因型决定其生长和生物量产量。就生物量产量而言，Sindhu基因型被归类为“高效响应”小麦基因型，最适合低投入和高投入的可持续农业系统。需要在俾路支省Uthal地区的田间条件下进一步验证这些结果。

Salinity is a brutal threat to sustainability of crop production and exhibits injurious effect on major plant processes including protein synthesis, cell division and photosynthetic activity. Germination and early growth of plants are most susceptible to salinity effect in comparison to other growth stages. In this context, the seed emergence and early vegetative growth of flowers needs to be tested properly. The pot based study was conducted in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replicates at Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam. The goal of this investigation was to explore the performance of petunia plants to salt stress environment at early growth stage. Two petunia varieties (V1= Prism blue, V2= Hala lop petunia rose) were evaluated against six levels of salt stress (T1 = Canal irrigation water [Control], T2 = 3 dS m-1, T3 = 5 dS m-1, T4 = 7 dS m-1, T5 = 9 dS m-1, T6 = 11 dS m-1).The results showed that there was an inverse effect of salt stress on all the traits examined and with each increased level of salinity in irrigation water; the values of petunia plant traits were significantly decreased. The petunia grown in pots given only canal water (control) revealed better performance for germination and growth attributes. It was further noted that that salt stress up to 3 dS m-1 level was generally tolerated by petunia. Among petunia varieties, Hala lop petunia rose performance was better and showed relative tolerance to salt stress over Prism blue, but in most cases the differences were insignificant (P>0.05).

The agricultural land of Attock district falls in Pothwar area of the Punjab Pakistan which is mostly rainfed (barani) and agriculture in the area depends on rainfall which is erratic and scanty. Therefore, soil health becomes more crucial for crop growth while application of micronutrients is negligible in this area. During the years from 2016 to2018, 15,337 soil samples were collected from the district Attack to determine micronutrient status of the soil. These soil samples were analyzed for Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), Iron (Fe) and Manganse (Mn) using DTPA extraction method while dilute HCl method for Boron (B). The results indicated that nutrient index value of plant available Zn was in the marginal category (1.84) with 30.7% soil samples falling in low, 54.1% in marginal and 15.2% in adequate category. Nutrient index value of plant available Cu was in the adequate category (2.18) with 16.9 % soil samples in low, 47.9% in marginal and 35.2% in adequate category. Nutrient index value of plant available Fe was 1.46 (low) where 76.8% soil samples were found to be low and 23.2% adequate. Nutrient index value of plant available Mn was 1.11 (very low) where 89.3% soil samples were low, 9.9% marginal and only 0.8% adequate. Nutrient index value of plant available B was also in very low category (1.25) with 74.2% soil samples low and 25.8% marginal. The results indicated depletion and low concentration of micronutrient in most soil of Attock district which ultimately urges the use of balanced fertilizer for higher crop yield.

Pygmy grasshoppers are ⁓14-20 mm in length, and are recognizable by a long pronotum, that extends over the length of the abdomen. Pygmy grasshoppers usually found near water, such as ponds and steams. Occasionally found in dry habitats, woodlands, rice fields and in sandy areas with lichen. These grasshoppers especially eat roots of plants, seedlings, mosses, fungi, algae and cause considerable damage to crops. In this regard four species of the family Tetrigidae were recorded and three species, namely Hedotettix costatus Hancock, 1912, H. rusticus Bolivar, 1887, H. angustivertex (Bolivar, 1908) are recorded as new country and state records. An attempt has been made to reveal the systematics of Tetrigidae in Sindh by identification based on morphological characterization, ecological distribution, photographs, line drawings and measurements of different parameters to produce a taxonomic key to the species of Sindh.

Citrus (Citrus sinensis L.) is one of the world's most significant fruit crops, 3rd among subtropical fruits. Kinnow is considered as the trademark of Pakistan’s citriculture industry, dominates the major citrus growing areas of the country. Macro and micronutrients have the capacity to regulate and manipulate the growth and fruit quality of Kinnow mandarin. The present study was initiated to evaluate the influence of foliar sprays of nutrients on yield and fruit quality of Kinnow mandarin. For this purpose, foliar sprays of nitrogen (1 and 1.5 %), iron (0.25 and 0.5 %) and zinc (0.25 and 0.5 %) were applied at pre flowering stage. The trial was carried out using a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The parameters such as reducing sugars (%), acidity (pH), TSS (brix)0, total sugars (%), total fruits per plant, fruit set (%), yield per tree (Kg), length of fruit (cm), fruit width (mm), total number of seeds per fruit and peel thickness (mm) were studied. The collected data was analyzed statistically by Using STATISTIX 8.1 According to results, T6 (Nitrogen @1.5%) gave best results in terms of reducing sugars, TSS/Brix (0), total sugars (%), fruit set (%), yield per tree (Kg), fruit length (cm), fruit width (mm), number of seeds per fruit and peel thickness (mm). The minimum acidity (pH) was recorded in T5 (Nitrogen @1%) and T4 (FeSO4 @0.5%). While the maximum number of fruits per plant were recorded in T4 (FeSO4 @0.5%) then in T2 (ZnSO4 @0.5%). All the treatments gave good result as compare to T0 (control / no treatment) while T6 (Nitrogen @1.5%) gave best results in maximum parameters observation. From the results it was concluded that foliar spray Nitrogen @1.5% can be used for enhancing the yield and fruit quality of Kinnow mandarin.

Developing bread wheat genotypes for terminal heat tolerance is a critical objective for future breeding approaches. The line x tester mating analysis is one of the best approaches to demonstrate the appropriateness of the bread wheat genotypes for selection programs. For this purpose, nine genotypes viz. T.J-83, NIA Sarrang, Khirman, SKD-1, Sehar-2006, Sarsabaz, AS-2002, NIA-Amber, and Nifa Barsat were used in this research. The experiment was planned in a factorial design with two treatments (normal and heat stress) at Botanical Garden Farm, Sindh Agriculture University Tandojam, during 2019-2020. The results depicted that at terminal heat stress, the genotypes were significantly affected by yield and physiological traits at late sowing. During the initial screening, the female parents, T.J-83, Sarsabaz, and Nifa Barsat executed very well under heat stress conditions for nearly all the yield and morphological traits. Similarly,the male parents such as Khirman and SKD-1 also performed well under heat stress conditions for all traits compare to the female parents. Furthermore, through genetic analysis, the mean effects of General Combining Ability (GCA) and Specific Combining Ability (SCA) were significant for all the characters signifying that additive and non-additive variances are important. Further, in heat-stress environments, the GCA was dominant for most characters in contrast to SCA variations. Hence, in this study, under both normal and heat stress conditions, Khirman and SKD-1 proved to be better general combiners for various characters. Therefore, these genotypes are recommended as vigor parents for hybridization and selection programs as emerging terminal heat stress tolerant genotypes.

Vegetables hold very important and significant place in our diet, among vegetables chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most important vegetable crop of Pakistan. The vegetable’s market integration is the major problem in Pakistan and symbol of efficiency is integrated markets. The present study was conducted for domestic integration of four major chilli markets of Pakistan by using their monthly wholesale chilli prices of eighteen years (June 2000 to July 2019) by adopting Johan-sane integration approach. The Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test revealed that prices are integrated at first difference and results of pair wise integration showed chilli markets of Pakistan (Hyderabad, Lahore and Quetta) are integrated in the long-run and in short run with strong relationship, except Peshawar market because of long distance, price variation & seasonal effects. The results of Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) showed significant adjustment of prices in almost three pairs of markets (Hyderabad, Lahore and Quetta) and the finding of Granger causality test showed the bidirectional and unidirectional causality relationship between the chilli markets. Granger causality tests have also indicated that unlike in other market pairs such as Lahore-Peshawar and Quetta-Peshawar have no causality direction on price formation between them. The government should design a network of chilli wholesale markets across the country that are nearly equal distance apart in order to improve market convergence and price transmission to make chilli more profitable.

Life on mountains is difficult and people depend on medicinal plants for primary health care. Many of mountain areas of Azad Kashmir are unexplored from taxonomic and ethnobotanical point of view. This study was conducted to document the indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants of village Patan Sher Khan and allied areas of District Sudhnuti Azad Kashmir Pakistan. Field surveys were conducted during March 2020 to March 2021 for collection of medicinal plants knowledge following standard ethnobotanical methods. A total of 120 key informants were interviewed by using semi-structured questioners. The data were analyzed through ethnobotanical indices i.e., Relative frequency of citation (RFC), Use value (UV), Informant consensus factor (ICF) and Fidelity level (FL). A total of 37 medicinal plant species belonging to 32 genera and 25 families were recorded during the study. Dominant ethnomedicinal families were Fabaceae with 4 species followed by Moraceae and Rosaceae with 3 species each. Leaves were the most frequently used parts (36 %) and decoction was preferred medicinal preparation (19 use reports). Highest relative frequency of citation was recorded for Ficus palmata (0.15) followed by Melia azedarchta (0.14) and highest use value was found for Dodonaea viscosa (0.58). The most valuable plant species of the study area are Ficus carica with 8 use reports and 48 use citations, Bauhinia variegata with 7 use reports and 45 use citations. The maximum value of FL was recorded for Berberis lyceum (100 %) and Plantago lanceolate, (100%). Based on documented data the reported ailments were grouped into 9 categories, The ICF values ranges between 0. 33 (sexual) to 0.90 (teeth and urinary). Medicinal plant knowledge is still alive and large papulation of area still depend on medicinal plants for primary healthcare. But medicinal plant knowledge is declining especially among younger people. Hence, there is an urgent need to document such precious knowledge by continuous ethnobotanical studies.

A high throughput technique used to determine a part of the nucleotide sequence of an organism’s genome is called next generation sequencing (NGS). NGS has been Proven revolutionary in genomics. Clinical diagnostics, Plant diseases diagnostic and other aspects of medical are now made possible by sequencing. Techniques of NGS: there are different techniques of NGS which are being used in real life sciences i.e., Illumina sequencing, Pyrosequencing, Roche 454 sequencing and Ion torrent sequencing. All vintage methods like culturing in bacterial, fungal, and viral samples are being suppressed by next generation sequencing. The potential for random metagenomic sequencing of sick samples to find potential pathogens has surfaced with the development of next-generation high-throughput parallel sequencing technology. NGS enables highly efficient, rapid, low-cost DNA or RNA high-throughput sequencing of plant virus and viroids genomes, as well as specific small RNAs generated during infection. Although this technique is not so much familiar in the field of plant diseases. However, its widespread application in agronomic sciences will make it possible to create solutions to future food-related challenges that involve biotic stress.
