Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) available throughout the country and is very important. Sweet potato flour is good source of carbohydrates less expensive and highly beneficial. The current study was carried out to evaluate the noodles prepared from the supplemented flour of sweet-potato flour with various proportions. Four different treatments were used for this study including T1 100 % wheat flour, T2 90 % wheat flour and 10 % sweet potato flour, T3 80% wheat flour and 20 % sweet potato flour, and T4 70 % wheat flour and 30 % sweet potato flour. The noodles prepared with T1 = (WF 100 % Control) showed 8.42% moisture, 2.36 ash, 11.11% protein, 6.72% fat content, 59.53% starch, 67.41% carbohydrate, 0.68% crude fiber, 0.11% acidity of water, as compared to noodles prepared with (T3 = WF 80+ SPF 20%) results showed that 8.23% moisture, 5.80% ash, 11.99% protein, 7.23% fat content, 61.50% starch, 68.50% carbohydrate and 0.88% crude fiber, It was concluded that noodles prepared with T1 WF 90% + 10% showed better results in physico-chemical properties of instant noodles. Overall acceptability was given in terms of sensorial parameters due to the good flavor of instant noodles. It was concluded from the study that addition of sweet potato flour improved the visual appearance of noodles from white to creamy, and the texture was found to be softer, as indicated by sensory analysis of the resulting noodle.

The Papilio demoleus is a key pest of citrus orchards found throughout the year. Their infestation causes defoliation, retards growth, and yields reduction. The five insecticides namely; Emamectin Benzoate 1.9 EC, Belt 480g/L SC (Flubendiamide), Helmet 40 EC (Chlorpyrifos), Coragen (Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC), and Regent 5% SC (Fipronil) were tested on C. limon orchard leaves against the larvae population of the lemon butterfly under laboratory conditions during, 2020. The maximum cumulative effect of all treatments was observed in three replications. The mortality of larvae and efficacy of insecticides were recorded after 24, 48, 72, 120, and 168 hours of post-sprays. The result revealed that Belt pesticide proved with maximum larval mortality (66.64±8.16%) followed by Regent (60.26±0.76), Coragen (59.66±7.72), Helmet (57.14±7.65), Emamectin and (56.18±7.50), respectively. It is concluded that the Belt insecticide provided better mortality % against the larval population. The one-way ANOVA showed significant difference among all tested insecticides at p<0.05 level. After insecticide application larvae reduced movement, skin became wrinkled, thin, and yellow-brown pigmentation visibly appeared with loose muscle concentration by releasing hyper-salivation and semi-liquid frass. Thus; it is recommended to be applied at time interval basis to suppress the population of lemon butterflies

To provide fresh and highly nutritive food, automated greenhouses and smart farming systems had proved to be helpful for growing world population. The smart greenhouse house monitoring system not only helpful in exploiting the production but also helpful to bridge up the quality of the produce. The current study was designed to explore the potential use of a smart greenhouse monitoring system using Raspberry-Pi microcontroller. The aim of the study was to create a smart automation system to control the microclimate of greenhouse. Two varieties of tomato (Roma and cherry tomato) were used both in smart greenhouse system as well as in conventional greenhouse system to compare the agronomic and quality parameters. Temperature and humidity were set according to the production technology of tomato using automation system. Proper fertilization and irrigation requirements were considered equal in all aspects in smart greenhouse and conventional greenhouse. The smart greenhouse monitoring system worked better in maintaining the microclimate inside the greenhouse with a difference of about 5-6 ℃ temperature and 20-30% humidity higher than the conventional greenhouse. The results predicted a progressive increase in agronomic parameter with a difference of 10-15% in plant height, number of leaves, number of fruits and weight of fruit as compared with growth parameters in conventional greenhouse. Similarly the quality parameters were effective with maximum size of fruit in Roma variety that was 75 mm as compared to fruit size 65 mm in conventional farming. The over average yield of tomato per plant (5.5 kg/plant) was also recorded in smart greenhouse that was significantly increased as compared with conventional greenhouse. The results predicted that the yield of tomato was positively affected using smart greenhouse monitoring system and consequently, the smart technologies could be used for the potential crop production and monitoring of cultivation activities.

Wheat is a cereal that is majorly consumed around the world. There is a dire need for the advancement of wheat cultivars that are producing high yield. The experiment was conducted to characterize the spike related traits of wheat genotypes. Twenty wheat genotypes comprising three replications were experimented using randomized complete block design. The difference was significant among the studied twenty genotypes revealed by analysis of variance. Correlation Pearson’s revealed that the number of grains per spike (GPS) has positive relationship among all the studied traits such as the number of tillers per plant (NTP), spike weight (SWT), spike length (SL), and grain yield per plant (GYP). The GYP has a strong positive association with GPS (0.81**), GYS (0.78**), and SL (0.68**). The biological yield had a non-significant association with GYS (0.28) and GPS (0.13). All studied attributes have variations in the mean values which were represented by Radar analysis. The genotype Sadiq-21 was the best performing genotype among the SWT, GYS and BY followed by genotype Nawab-21 which performed best among the NTP, GYS and GPS and genotype Ghazi-19 which performed good among BY, SWT and GPS. The genotypes that were among the worst performing were Suren-10, Galaxy-13 and Borluag-16. The result of our study showed grain yield was mainly affected by NTP, GYS and GPS. For the improvement of wheat yield, these attributes must be improved for selection so that the yield of the wheat can be increased because these have a strong association with the grain yield.

To feed Pakistan's rapidly growing population, wheat productivity must be increased through balanced nutrition. Chemical fertilizer prices are rising and there is low nutrient use efficiency, as well as excessive or imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers. Integrated nutrient management treatments -the use of bio-fertilizer plus inorganic fertilizers-is a promising technology that not only increases crop yield, nutrient use efficiency. A field experiment was conducted at Naseerabad (Baluchistan) to assess the effect of (bio-fertilizer, inorganic fertilizers including Zn plus Boric Acid) on wheat crop production and nutrient use efficiency under irrigated conditions. A randomized complete block design was used to arrange the treatments (RCBD). Comprised with four treatments (INM NPK@120:9 0:60 kg/ha-1 Zn 5 kg, Boric acid 1 Kg/ha-1) FP treatment NP@75:50 kg/ha-1RDFtreatment.NPK,100.80.50 kg/ha-1and control treatment. This bio fertilizer plus chemical fertilizer significantly improves wheat growth parameters such as plant height, number of grains spiked, straw, and grain yield. Similarly, integrated nutrient management technology significantly increased N, P, K uptake in wheat grain content while increasing nutrient use efficiency. The highest grain yield was recorded (4.9 t/ha-1) in integrated nutrient management treatments with 120 kg N, 90 kg P, 60 kg K, 5 kg Zn, and 1 kg B ha-1 combined with bio-fertilizer plus farmyard manure. It resulted in a 25% increase over farmer practice (FP) and a 9% increase over the RDF treatment. The use of balance fertilizer in wheat resulted in significantly increased the wheat crop yield also improved agronomic parameters
为了养活巴基斯坦快速增长的人口，必须通过均衡营养来提高小麦产量。化肥价格上涨，养分利用效率低，化肥使用过量或不平衡。综合营养管理处理-使用生物肥料和无机肥料-是一项有前途的技术，不仅提高作物产量，养分利用效率。在俾路支省的纳齐拉巴德(Naseerabad)进行了田间试验，研究了在灌溉条件下生物肥料和含锌硼酸的无机肥料对小麦产量和养分利用效率的影响。采用随机完全区组设计(RCBD)安排治疗。由4个处理组成(INM NPK@120: 90:60 kg/ha-1 Zn 5 kg，硼酸1 kg/ha-1) FP处理NP@75:50 kg/ha-1 rdf处理、npk处理、100.80.50 kg/ha-1和对照处理。这种生物肥料加化学肥料能显著改善小麦的生长参数，如株高、穗数、秸秆和产量。同样，养分综合管理技术显著提高了小麦籽粒对N、P、K的吸收，提高了养分利用效率。以120 kg N、90 kg P、60 kg K、5 kg Zn、1 kg B hm -1配以生物肥料+农家肥的综合养分管理处理，籽粒产量最高(4.9 t/ hm -1)。它导致比农民实践(FP)增加25%，比RDF处理增加9%。平衡肥在小麦上的施用显著提高了小麦产量，改善了农艺参数

DNA barcode data of Acrididae is limited in global data bases from Sindh, Pakistan. Hence, the present study was aimed to collect some selected Acridid species from the Sindh and generate DNA barcode data to improve the global database sequencing. Specimens were collected from cultivated, sandy, rocky, vegetation, grassy, desert, semi desert, roadside and open area of the upper Sindh districts i.e., Dadu, Ghotki, Jacobabad, Kashmore, Khairpur Miras, Larkana, Naushahro Feroz, Qambar & Shahdadkot, Shikarpur, Sukkur. Seven species of Acrididae were under discussion i.e., (24%) followed by Acrida willemsei (19%), Truxalis eximia eximia (15%), Aiolopus thalassinus thalassinus (13%), Acrotylus longipes longipes (10%), Aiolopussimulatrix (10%) and Sphingonotus savignyi (09%) belong to 3 sub-families i.e., Acridinae, Oedipodinae and Oxyinae. Moreover, maximum number of specimens belonged to Oxyinae. The present study suggests the collection of multiple specimens from different geographical locations and the generation of more DNA barcode data would facilitate the actual diversity amongst this taxon.

Schistocerca gregaria (Forskl, 1775), one of the most notorious insects in the world, significantly harms the economy and agriculture each year. It was reputedly the biggest infestation to hit Pakistan since the 1990s, destroying wheat, rice, sugarcane, cotton, and vegetable crops, and it was also the cause of the worst disaster of 2019–2020. We have extensively examined the external characteristics of this swarm using the mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit 1 (COI), morphometry of the solitary and gregarious phases, influenced host plants, as well as its deterrent status. Swarms of Desert Locusts, which have been on the rise recently, have had a substantial negative influence on Pakistan's agriculture, destroying all kinds of crops. Preliminary projections of the financial losses over the two agricultural seasons in 2020 and 2021 may vary from 3.4 billion US dollars to 10.21 billion US dollars. This drastically increased the price of ordinary products in the market. In addition, locust activity has grown and is presently present in a number of affected areas. For the species to be managed and controlled effectively, accurate species identification is essential. This study seeks to explain this essential management attention

For the species to be managed and controlled effectively, accurate species identification is essential. This study seeks to explain this essential management attention","PeriodicalId":197597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research in Plant Sciences","volume":"64 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":"127088891","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}

Butterflies are elegant, beautiful, and charming insects due to their colourful squamate. They are a great source of economic and beautification and indicators for biodiversity of agroecsystem. In addition to this, they are more important pollinators of flora than the flies and moths. An investigation of several locations in Taluka Larkana with the goal of collecting as many specimens of butterflies was carried out from March to July 2022. About 288 samples of butterflies were captured from different sites. The collected specimens were sorted out into 03 families: Pieridae, Papilionidae and Nymphalidae with 06 genera and 06 species: Danaus chrysippus (Linnaeus,1758), Vanessa cardui (Linnaeus,1758), Junonia almana (Linnaeus,1758), Papilio demoleus Linnaeus,1758, Eurema hecabe (Linnaeus,1758) and Pieris canidia (Sparrman, 1768). Description of the collected species, detailed genitalia, digital images and habitat of species are provided first time from the studied area. Hopefully, this study will be fruitful for the future researchersconcerned with this group

Male crickets show intensive aggressive behavior when they encounter another male. During this study comprehensive analysis on aggressive behavior in Acheta domesticus (Linnaeus) was investigated. It was noticed that male adopted six behavioral responses i.e., pre-established dominance, antennal railing, uni-lateral and bi-lateral mandible dispersal, engagement of mandibles and grappling in order to gain contact to females and to defend his territory was significantly prominent. This aggressive behavior was ignored yet attention was not paid towards this. Beside this, Illustrative Barcode, Nucleotide Sequence, Sequences producing significant alignment, and Distance distribution graph of Acheta domesticus was also presented for correct identification of sibling species.
雄蟋蟀遇到另一只雄蟋蟀时会表现出强烈的攻击行为。在本研究中，我们对家养阿切塔(Linnaeus)的攻击行为进行了综合分析。研究发现，雄性采用了六种显著的行为反应，即预先建立的优势地位、触角栏杆、单侧和双侧下颌分散、下颌接触和抓斗，以获得与雌性的接触并捍卫自己的领土。这种攻击性行为被忽视了，但却没有引起人们的注意。此外，还提供了插图条形码(Illustrative Barcode)、核苷酸序列(Nucleotide Sequence)、产生显著比对的序列(Sequences production significant alignment)和距离分布图(Distance distribution graph)，以便正确识别家Acheta的兄弟种。

The morphological traits of wheat grain strongly influence on yield and directly affect the grain yield of the crop. The necessity to overcome the human demand of wheat the grain yield should be intensified. The current experiment was organized to study the morphological traits of wheat and their association with yield. The experiment was done in the randomized complete block design including three replications and twenty genotypes under normal condition in cropping season of 2021. The result of analysis of variance indicates that there is highly significant difference among the studied genotypes, traits like spikelet per spike (SPS), flag leaf area(FLA), grain yield per spike(GYS), number of grains per spike(GPS), biological yield (BY) and grain yield per plant(GYP) showed the genetic potential and variability among them. While traits plant height (PH) and peduncle length (PL) are significant. Correlation analysis showed that grain yield per plant is highly associated with flag leaf area (0.78**) followed by biological yield which is highly correlated with plant height (0.77**) and number of grain per spike was also highly correlated with spikelet per spike (0.70**).While spikelet per spike and number of grains per spike correlated non-significantly with plant height (0.21ns), (0.23ns) and biological yield correalted non-significantly with spikelet per spike (0.21ns).The highest mean values recorded by the genotype G3 for the traits SPS (21.22), PL (16.74) and BY (23.33), followed by the genotype G14 for the traits SPS (23.22), PL (17.36), FLA (15), GPS (35.83) and by the genotype G19 for the traits PH (94.63), BY (22.23), GPS (33.16). Hence, in breeding or selection program, to develop the high yield of wheat cultivars in selection or breeding program, these yield related traits should have strong and positive association.
