Cotton is important fiber crop which is used to grow for commercially purpose. It’s growing all over the world, like India, USA, Russia, China, Brazil, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, and Sudan etc. Cotton is cash crop and Pakistan known as ‘white gold’, cotton contributes 23.60 percent of value added and 4.45 of the total GDP of the country (GoP, 2021). Two third exports earning of the country are from the cotton made-up and textiles, it add $2.5 in national economy while country textile mills and ginning factories are also depends on cotton (Rani et al., 2017). Study objectives Identify and compare the training methods for cotton production perceived by cotton farmers, determine the effectiveness of various training methods on cotton farmers' knowledge and skills & Identify barriers to applying knowledge and skills by farmers. Total sample size were 100 cotton growers purposely were selected from study area. Data collection were collected through well design research questionnaire and data analyzed through (SPSS) statistical software. It was observed that overall training program had very positive impact on farmer’s knowledge and skills because farmers became aware about filed issue and they started practical work their field to get maximum yield from cotton crop. Public organization may be need for improvement for facilitation and capacity building of famers. Farmers awareness session increase their knowledge and work for more production.

Present studies were conducted on evaluation of soma-clonal variation of CP67-1026 mutant through morphological procedures with the aims at discussing how soma-clonal variations can be analyzed through morphological approaches in gaining knowledge about the underlined regulatory controlled mechanisms in plants. In vitro experiments were conducted in the Laboratory of Nuclear Institute Atomic Energy (NIA), Tandojam during the year of 2021. The results so far achieved opened further window for deep analysis with reference to functional analysis of soma-clonal variated plants with different approaches. Results on the performance for soma-clonal variation in sugarcane variety NIA-2010 and their soma-clones revealed the best performance of varieties, which showed that the plant height (302.33cm) was observed in SC-3 and the lowest performance was examined in SC-2 that was approximately (154.33cm). The consequences of varieties and diverse parameters indicated that the highest number of internodes plant-1 were recorded (38) in SC-3 and lowest number of internodes plant-1 were accomplished (23) in SC-1. The output of different features indicated that highest number of tillers plant-1 was observed (8.02) in SC-3, the lowest number of tillers plant-1 (4.33) were noted in SC-4 and 8 as well. The consequences of soma-clones indicated that maximum weight stool-1 (kg) was observed (9.67kg) in SC-3 and minimum weight stool-1 (kg) was showed (5.83) in SC-1. The output of different physiological features indicated that highest values were remarkably noticed of brix (%) (19.83%) in SC-13, sucrose (%) (13.4%) in SC-3, fiber (%) (18.92g) in SC-3 whereas the lowest fiber (%) (16.58g) were seen in SC-11. The results of various agronomic parameters such as germination % observed (82.01%) in SC-6, commercial cane sugar percentage (CCS %) showed (9.1%) in SC-9, sugar recovery (%) (8.56%) in SC-8, purity (%) (85.27%) in SC-8, cane yield (tonnes per hectare) (96.67 tonnes per hectare) in SC-3, sugar yield (tonnes per hectare) (7.95 tonnes per hectare) in SC-3 for the assessment of morphological constitutions of NIA-2010 genotype and their soma-clone

Nitrogen (N) is one of the critical nutrients for productivity and quality of cultivated crop species. However, its overused in crop cultivation caused several environmental concerns. Hence its proper use in agriculture is not only pre-requisite for sustainable crop cultivation but also necessary to control environmental pollution. A field trial was designed at experimental area of Department of Horticulture, Sindh Agriculture university Tando Jam, Pakistanto test the response of garlic varietiesto N nutrition in terms of growth and bulb attributed traits during the winter season, 2020-21. The N effect on growth and yield associated traits of two garlic varieties (local white and purple top) were investigated by applying four Nrates that included 0, 50 kg, 100 kg and 150 kg ha-1. The findings of the trial exhibitedthat N application at various rates had substantial positiveimpact on the growth and bulb development of garlic at (P<0.05). The garlic plantation receivedNat maximum rate (150 kg ha-1) resulted tallest plants,better neck thicknesswith more leaves plant-1. The N also positively affected the bulb yield and other yield parameters of garlic.The maximum bulb yield was obtained when plants were nourished with 150 Kg N ha-1that was 381.98 % more than the control. It was noted that increase inN rates was statistically dominant over other doses. The varietal influence on garlic indicated that variety purple top performed better than local white in terms of yield associated traits..These findings provide new insight regarding the significance of N nutrition in improving the growth and bulb yield of garlic genotypes
氮(N)是栽培作物产量和品质的关键养分之一。然而,它在作物种植中的过度使用引起了一些环境问题。因此,在农业中合理利用它不仅是可持续作物种植的先决条件,也是控制环境污染的必要条件。在巴基斯坦信德省农业大学园艺系试验区设计了2020-21冬季大蒜品种生长和球茎性状对氮营养的响应试验。通过施用0、50、100、150 kg hm -1 4种氮肥,研究了氮肥对2个大蒜品种(地方白顶和紫顶)生长和产量相关性状的影响。结果表明:不同施氮量对大蒜的生长和鳞茎发育均有显著的正向影响(P<0.05)。植株最高(150 kg hm -1),株高,株颈粗,叶多。氮素对大蒜的鳞茎产量和其他产量参数也有正向影响。施用150 Kg N - ha-1时鳞茎产量最高,比对照提高381.98%。值得注意的是,在统计上,非酒精性神经球蛋白增加率比其他剂量占主导地位。品种对大蒜的影响表明,紫顶品种在产量相关性状上优于当地白品种,这为氮营养对大蒜生长和鳞茎产量的促进作用提供了新的认识

Aphid is a major pest of wheat that causes substantial agricultural damages to wheat crop annually. In the present study, experiments on ecofriendly management of this pest were conducted at the experimental area of Arid Zone Research Institute (AZRI), Bhakkar. The trials were laid down in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data was collected at seven days interval by counting method. As far as efficiency of yellow sticky traps is concerned, the plot having 4-traps captured maximum (848.07) aphids. As a result, minimum (11.16 aphid tiller-1) were observed in the respective plot. The same plot exhibited maximum population reduction (71.93%) and grain yield (6617.9 kg ha-1). The plot having 1-trap captured minimum (257.33) aphids. Consequently, maximum (33.37 aphids/tiller) were found in the field. The same treatment showed minimum population reduction (23.99%) and grain yield (5489.1 kg ha-1). Chrysoperla carnea was found a voracious predator of the pest. The plot having 4-egg cards of this predator showed minimum (7.69 aphids tiller-1) with maximum (49.50%) population reduction of the aphid followed by 8.78 aphids/tiller in the plot having 3-egg cards with 42.56% population reduction. Lowest population reduction (12.33%) was found in the plot having 1 egg card.

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can improve plant development and protect plants from diseases and abiotic stresses. Plant-bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere are important factors in soil fertility and plant health. Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria include the cyanobacteria of the genera Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Azorhizobium, Allorhizobium, Sinorhizobium and Mesorhizobium. Therefore, to investigate the effect of co-inoculation of Bradyrhizobium and phosphate solubilizing microbes (PSM) on groundnut crop under field conditions using normal soil, divided into eight different study groups i.e., control (T1), Bradyrhizobium isolate -1 (T2), Bradyrhizobium isolate -2 (T3), Bradyrhizobium isolate -3(T4), Phosphate solubilizing microbe (PSM) (T5), T2 + PSM (T6), T3 + PSM (T7), T4 + PSM (T8). The results showed maximum groundnut pod yield (2428 kg ha-1) was obtained in treatment where inoculation with bacterial isolate-2 applied as compared to control. In case of plant height and shoot dry biomass, maximum response was observed in T7 (59.4 cm, 4733 kg ha-1) as compared to control i.e., 40.5 cm, 3156.7 kg ha-1 respectively. It was concluded that this technique might be useful and applicable to cut down the high input cost of phosphate fertilizers for the production of other crops also
植物生长促进菌(Plant growth promoting bacteria, PGPB)具有促进植物发育、保护植物免受病害和非生物胁迫的作用。根际植物-细菌相互作用是影响土壤肥力和植物健康的重要因素。共生固氮细菌包括根瘤菌属、慢生根瘤菌属、偶氮根瘤菌属、异氮根瘤菌属、中氮根瘤菌属和中氮根瘤菌属的蓝藻。因此,为了研究在正常土壤条件下,田间条件下花生作物共接种缓生根瘤菌和增磷微生物(PSM)的效果,将其分为对照(T1)、缓生根瘤菌分离物-1 (T2)、缓生根瘤菌分离物-2 (T3)、缓生根瘤菌分离物-3(T4)、增磷微生物(PSM) (T5)、T2 + PSM (T6)、T3 + PSM (T7)、T4 + PSM (T8) 8个不同的研究组。结果表明,与对照相比,接种分离菌-2处理花生荚果产量最高(2428 kg ha-1)。在株高和地上部干生物量方面,T7的响应最大(59.4 cm, 4733 kg ha-1),高于对照(40.5 cm, 3156.7 kg ha-1)。该技术在降低磷肥投入成本的同时,也可用于其他作物的生产

Rose is an important plant around the world. The largest trader of rose cut-flower and hybrid varieties is Netherland. Countless varieties are introduced in agriculture business for commercial production. While countless soil and soilless substrates are also utilized for commercial production of rose around the globe. Due to that it is important to standardize and see the best soil or soilless substrate for better production of commercial cut-flowers in Rose. Various soil substrates and growing environment (Under partial shade, 70% sunlight and open sun light) was observed for better commercial yield in Rose. The balance fertilizer was applied in both A: Foliar spray (300:300:300 ppm of NPK) along with the various soil substrates of GS: PR: CCD (1:1:1), GS: LC (1:1), GS: PR (100%) and FYM: SL: CL (1:1:1). The liquid substrate was distilled water for foliar application. The foliar application was done after each day. The other nutrient application process was B: soil application of macro nutrient (2g/L of 17:17:17-NPK) along with GS: PR: CCD (1:1:1), GS: LC (1:1), GS: PR (100%) and FYM: SL: CL (1:1:1). Each plant was saturated with 2 days interval. The fertigation was carried by mixing above mentioned fertilizer with the canal water having EC: 0.4 dSm-1 and pH: 6.9 pH. The performance of plants was observed by observing the attributes such as Plant survival (%), Number of flowers per plant, Plowers stem length (cm), Plant health (Number of leaves, leaf size (cm), Flower diameter (mm), Flower stem size (mm) and Flower stem diameter (mm). Completely randomized experimental design (CRD) was used for calculating means of various treatments. The best treatment was FYM: SL: CL for both under partial shade (70%) and open sun light for the significant growth and development of plant morphological and commercial attributes. The same treatment with soil application of 2g/L of NPK (17:17:17) after each day is recommended to the commercial growers of Rose throughout the flowering season.

We can overcome this global challenge by minimizing input costs and optimizing yields by employing appropriate tillage techniques and balanced fertilizer application. Appropriate tillage practices together with balanced fertilizer may be a promising practice of soil management to improve soil properties and crop production. The present study was carried out in wheat-maize cropping pattern (in the year 2019-20) at agricultural research farm of Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan. The experiment was set up in a split-plot layout with a randomized complete blocks design. The nitrogen levels of 0, 90, 120, 150, and 180 kg N ha-1 were assigned to subplots. Tillage and nitrogen treatments separately had a significant impact on growth and yield characteristics, but the interaction between them had minimal effect, according to the findings. The tallest heights were found in the conventional tillage plots and the high N input (N180) plots, with heights of 101 and 104 cm, respectively. The spikes per m2 were found 242 in zero tillage plots, while the highest number of spikes per plot (265) was recorded in N180. The yield contributing factor number of grain spike-1 was 48.7 in zero tillage, while the nitrogen fertilizer @ 180 kg ha-1 yielded 52, 1000-grain weight of 35g was measured in conventional tillage and 38.8g in nitrogen fertilizer plots. Deep tillage where the nitrogen @ 150 kg ha-1 was applied gave the maximum grain yields, with 3113 kg ha-1 and 3415 kg ha-1, respectively. The benefit-cost ratio of different treatments was highest in zero tillage plots, with nitrogen @ 150 kg ha-1, at 1.65. Hence, it may be concluded from the study that both tillage and nitrogen levels influenced the agronomic properties of wheat, influenced the economics of farmers, and soil fertility.
我们可以通过采用适当的耕作技术和平衡施肥来最大限度地降低投入成本和优化产量,从而克服这一全球性挑战。适当的耕作方法和平衡施肥可能是一种很有前途的土壤管理方法,可以改善土壤性质和作物产量。本研究在巴基斯坦德拉伊斯梅尔汗的戈马尔大学农业研究农场以小麦-玉米种植模式(2019- 2020年)进行。实验采用分块式布局,采用完全随机区组设计。将0、90、120、150和180 kg N ha-1的氮素水平分配到子样地。研究结果表明,耕作和氮肥处理分别对水稻生长和产量特征有显著影响,但两者之间的相互作用影响最小。土壤高度以常规耕作和高氮输入(N180)地块最高,分别为101和104 cm。免耕样地每m2穗数为242个,N180最高,为265个。免耕籽粒穗-1的产量贡献因子数为48.7,而施氮肥180 kg hm -1产量为52,常规耕作测得千粒重35g,施氮肥地块测得千粒重38.8g。施用150 kg hm -1氮肥的深耕方式籽粒产量最高,分别为3113 kg hm -1和3415 kg hm -1。不同处理的效益成本比在免耕小区最高,施氮量为150 kg hm -1,为1.65。因此,研究表明,耕作和氮肥水平均影响小麦的农艺性状,影响农民的经济效益和土壤肥力。

The benefit-cost ratio of different treatments was highest in zero tillage plots, with nitrogen @ 150 kg ha-1, at 1.65. Hence, it may be concluded from the study that both tillage and nitrogen levels influenced the agronomic properties of wheat, influenced the economics of farmers, and soil fertility.","PeriodicalId":197597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research in Plant Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130527812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was conducted to evaluate the genetic architecture of five diverse maize genotypes using combining ability analyses. General combining ability (GCA) mean squares were non-significant for grain yield and its related components. Specific combining ability (SCA) mean squares were highly significant for grain yield, the number of grains per row and cob girth while non-significant for days to tasseling, days to silking, plant height, cob height and cob length. These studies suggested the preponderance of non-additive type of gene action for grain yield, cob girth and number of grains per row and additive gene action for days to tasseling, days to silking, plant height, cob height and cob length. The genotypes MIL2020-51 and MIL2020-52 were good general combiners for grain yield, grains per row, cob height and plant height. These lines were the poorest general combiner for days to 50% tasseling and days to 50% silking which suggested that these genotypes had sufficient genes for inducing earliness. The crosses MIL2020-51 x MIL2020-54, MIL2020-52 x MIL2020-53, MIL2020-51 x MIL2020-55, MIL2020-53 x MIL2020-55and MIL2020-52 x MIL2020-55 were the best performing combinations for grain yield. These crosses involved good x good and good x poor general combiners. The reciprocal cross combinations MIL2020-55 x MIL2020-53, MIL2020-52 x MIL20220-51, MIL2020-54I x MIL2020-52, MIL2020-55 x MIL2020-51, MIL2020-54 x MIL2020-51and MIL2020-55 x MIL2020-54 showed large positive estimates for grain yield suggesting that cytoplasmic inheritance also had a role in the expression of grain yield. SCA variances were higher than GCA variances for grain yield, plant height, cob height, number of grains per row, cob girth and cob length which highlighted major role of non-additive genes in the inheritance of these traits. Additive gene action was found more important for number of days to 50% tasseling and number of days to 50% silking
