Peach leaf curl disease (PLCuD) is a devastating fungal disease that poses a significant threat to peach production globally, and its impact is also evident in Pakistan's fruit industry. The disease is caused by phyto-parasitic fungi from the Taphrinaceae family, primarily the genus Taphrina. Chemical fungicides are the most common method for controlling the disease; however, their use presents health and environmental concerns and can lead to resistance over time. As a result, alternative control strategies that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly are essential. Unfortunately, there is a significant gap in knowledge about PLCuD in Pakistan, and the actual cause of the disease remains unidentified, making management impossible. Therefore, discovering novel biological control methods is crucial to combat this disease effectively. Recent advances in biotechnology have shown promising results in developing biological control agents, such as microbial inoculants, bio-fungicides, and bio-pesticides. These agents can specifically target the fungi responsible for the disease, leading to more efficient and sustainable control measures. The review highlights the urgent need to develop sustainable and effective biological control methods to combat PLCuD in Pakistan and to provide innovative and eco-friendly solutions for managing this devastating disease and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the peach industry in Pakistan.

A study was carried out to assess the food composition of migratory waterfowl in Bet Makwal Kalan, near the Head Taunsa Barrage, along the River Indus passage. Migratory water birds are thought to be important components in dispersal of total living entity especially seeds due to their proclivity for extensive relocations. They might be found in large numbers in the muddy sections. Migratory water birds are important components of total plant dispersal due to their proclivity for making extensive migrations. A sum of 459 gizzard samples was collected, during their Fall migration, relating to 10 Waterfowl species i.e. Northern Pintail (n=56), Eurasian Wigeon (n=17), Garganay (n=07), Mallard (n=02), Northern Shoveler (n=22), Common Teal (n=129), Gadwall (n=158), Tufted Duck (n=04), Common Pochard (n=29) and Ferruginous Duck (n=34). During their winter migration, the Waterfowl species picked plants over animals as their primary source of sustenance when travelling through Taunsa. Food research revealed that all 10 species of birds consumed large amounts of seeds. Out of ten duck species, two plant species (Naias marina and Potamogeton pusillus) consistently ranked among the top seeds ingested by six of the duck species (Eurasian Wigeon, Garganey, Mallard, Gadwall, Tufted Duck, and Common Pochard). Whereas the Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler, Common Teal, and Ferruginous Duck have been found to consume large amounts of seeds from Potamogeton pectinatus and Poligonum spp. It was determined that molluscans and crustaceans residues were found to be well-represented in the gizzard samples of ducks. The recent study also highlighted that various vegetations play vital role in wetland ecosystems as a basic wild food provider. A larger population of migrating Waterfowl yield better findings for this study, which is currently being undertaken.

Parasitic diseases causing considerable losses are one of the most common infections in humans, animals, and birds. This review emphasizes the devastation of the poultry industry by parasites and the use of bioactive components of plants as an alternative to control the damage. Synthetic medicines that are used in poultry as anthelmintic lead to the emergence of resistance in helminths as well as adversely affect birds and reduce their production. Different compounds are extracted from plants that show effective anthelmintic activity. Steroidal saponin alters the membrane permeability and inhibits mitochondrial activity resulting in worm death. Condensed tannins cause the death or paralysis of helminths. Flavonoids’ mode of action involves the inhibition of several enzymes like phosphodiesterase and Ca-ATPase. Both flavonoids and tannins act synergistically and have the same function as praziquantel. Isoflavones inhibit energy generation and calcium utilization causing the death of worms. Isoquinoline alkaloids are neurotoxic to the different helminths. Phytochemicals have an important role in improving growth, enhancing immunity, increasing nutrient absorption, and maintaining gut integrity. Phytochemicals are added to poultry feed as an additive, antibiotic, growth promoter, and anthelmintic. Plant products are cheap, easily available, and have the least tendency for resistance to be developed. Therefore, they could be proved beneficial against helminths. But there are some limitations such as the lack of proper research on phytochemicals, their efficacy, toxicity, dosage, and mechanism of action of phytochemicals. As an alternative strategy, phytochemicals have shown good results against the resistant species of helminths, but the reason behind the effectiveness of phytochemicals against anthelmintic-resistant parasites needs further studies. In developing countries, the use of plant-based anthelmintics is limited. So, there is a need for proper studies and research on different plant sources having anthelmintic activity. This could save the poultry industry from huge economic losses due to parasitic infections.

The study aimed to investigate farmers’ participation, perceived benefits from local extension activities, and identified barriers to participation, A Simple Random Sampling technique was used for data collection. A personal interview was conducted, and 219 responses were usable for research analysis. The results showed that more than a half of the respondents (63.5%) have not participated in any agricultural extension activity. However, 36.5% of the respondents reported that they have participated in at least one agricultural extension activity. Regarding non-agriculture activities, only 11.9% of the respondents have not participated in any local activity, most of them (88.1%) participated in at least one local activity. Participation and perceived benefits from agricultural extension had negative significant relationships with “Low direct financial returns form activities”, “Uncertainty about the feasibility of local extension services”, “Not suitable for my schedule”, “The activities places are too far”, and with “Lack of confidence in the agricultural extension agents”. Participation and perceived benefits from non-agricultural activities had negative significant relationships with “No advertisement for activities”, “Not suitable for my schedule”, “Difficult to reach locations of the activities” and with “The activities places are too far”.
