Current study was conducted at research area of Department of Entomology, Agriculture University, Peshawar, Khyber Pukthunkhwa during spring 2013. The purpose of study was to investigate the comparative resistance of tobacco cultivars and efficacy of Bifenthrin at various concentrations (0.08%, 0.125%, 0.166%, and 0.208% and control) against major insect pests of tobacco. The concentrations of insecticide differed significantly in term of controlling the cutworm, budworm and aphids infestation. The 0.166% and 0.08% concentration of Bifenthrin found most effective in controlling the cutworm and budworm infestation (1.2 and 8.2 percent, respectively). For checking the aphid population, the 0.208% concentration of Bifenthrin remained most suitable. The lowest infestation (29.1) of said insects was noticed on cultivar PVH- 2310. Cultivars behaved differently for the studied traits but not for insecticidal concentrations. For nicotine contents the response of cultivars was non- significant. Results regarding the percent budworm damage revealed that PVH2310 was the most resistant cultivar (7.7%) and 0.08% concentration of Bifenthrin showed most effective control (8.2%) seven days after the application of spray (5.0%).

CERES-WHEAT Model is an important technique to assess growth, development and radiation use efficiency skills of wheat crop. Under changing climatic conditions world over, one of the suitable approach is needed to enhance the growth and reproductive skills of field crops. For the purpose, a field trial was conducted at Adoptive Research Farm Sargodha. The study comprised of four fertilizer levels viz. control (Recommended dose), 84, 114, 144 kg ha -1 and three irrigation levels viz. irrigation at crown root + jointing + milking, at crown root + booting + grain filling, and at jointing + booting + grain filling. Irrigation levels were kept in main plots and fertilizer levels were randomized in subplots. Data revealed that Crop Growth Rate (CGR), Leaf Area Index (LAI), Leaf Area Duration (LAD) and Net Assimilation Rate (NAR) were significantly increased by increasing the fertilizer levels as well as irrigation frequency. Maximum grain yield 5528 kg ha -1 was obtained while irrigating the crop at jointing + booting + grain filling stages using 144 kg ha -1 of nitrogen. Interestingly, increase in fertilizer rate increased the yield and yield components and plant growth and radiation use efficiency. In conclusion, three irrigations at jointing + booting and grain filling stage and fertilizer levels as 144 kg ha -1 is the best combination for having maximum output in terms of yield of the cultivar Bakhar-2000.
CERES-WHEAT模型是评价小麦作物生长发育和辐射利用效率的重要技术。在全球不断变化的气候条件下，需要一种合适的方法来提高大田作物的生长和繁殖技能。为此目的，在Sargodha收养研究农场进行了实地试验。试验包括4个施肥水平，即对照(推荐剂量)、84、114、144 kg ha -1和3个灌溉水平，即冠根+拔节+挤奶、冠根+孕穗期+灌浆、拔节+孕穗期+灌浆。主小区保持灌溉水平，次小区随机施肥。结果表明，增加施肥水平和灌溉频率可显著提高作物生长率(CGR)、叶面积指数(LAI)、叶面积持续时间(LAD)和净同化率(NAR)。拔节期、孕穗期、灌浆期氮肥用量为144 kg ha -1时，籽粒产量最高可达5528 kg ha -1。施肥量的增加增加了产量和产量成分，提高了植株的生长和辐射利用效率。综上所述，拔节+孕穗期和灌浆期3次灌溉和144 kg ha -1施肥量是巴哈尔-2000产量最高的最佳组合。

During storage, stored commodities are attacked by different kinds of insect pests. Among these storage insect pests, Rhyzopertha dominica Fab. is one of the most threatening pest. The present study was carried out at Grain Research, Training and Storage Management cell of the Department of Entomology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Acetone extracts of Nicotiana tabacum and Piper nigrum at a concentration of 10, 15 and 20% and new chemistry insecticides Spinosad at concentrations of 1, 1.5 and 2ppm were evaluated alone and in combination for their mortality effect against R. dominica . The results revealed that spinosad showed more mortality than other two plant extracts of P. nigrum and N. tabacum . Spinosad showed maximum mortality 44.44% at the exposure time of 72hrs and minimum mortality of 4.83% at 24hrs exposure period. While in case P. nigrum showed the less mortality than spinosad and the N. tabacum . The application of P. nigrum was resulted into 1.67 and 5.42% mortality after exposure period of 24 and 72 hrs, respectively. The application of N. tabacum has been resulted into 23.75 and 2.34%mortality after 72 and 24hrs of treatment. It was also obvious from the results that a direct concentration and mortality response was observed in all the treatment applications. The results regarding the combine effect of plant extract and spinosad showed that the maximum mortality 57.73% was by the combinations of all three treatments of new chemistry insecticide and plant extracts. While mortality was minimum 28.73% where plant extract was applied only. From these results it was concluded that new chemistry insecticides had high toxicant action as compared to plant extracts against R. dominica and could be recommended for the management of stored grain pest R. dominica .

Indoor concentrations of pollutants depend on the quantity of emissions, the volume of the polluted space and the rate of exchange between indoor and outdoor air. The principal indoor pollutants vary in rural and urban areas but they are a source of disease everywhere. Women are particularly at risk for a variety of adverse health effects related to indoor air pollution. Middle ear infection, tuberculosis, perinatal mortality (still births and death in the first week of life), low birth weight, eye irritation, cataract, asthma and oral cancer have all been associated with indoor smoke. For this purpose a study was conducted in rural areas of District Faisalabad which aims to assess the awareness/ knowledge about the health impacts of indoor air pollution on rural women. The sampling was consisted on four stages. At the first stage two tehsils were selected randomly from the Faisalabad District. At the second stage two union councils were taken from each tehsil through simple random sample technique. At the third stage two villages, from each union council were selected randomly and at the fourth stage 30 women from each village were taken purposively. The total sample size of women was 240. It was found that that the awareness of people about the adverse implications of the emission of bio-mass on their health particularly women and children who are more exposed to kitchen environment in terms closed and opened kitchen and its location, duration spent for cooking, types of fuel and stove is recommended.

Current research is conducted to test the efficacy of essential oils extracted from some common plants that are mainly used in kitchen as a larvicidal and pupicidal agent against Culex mosquitoes. Oil extraction was done from parts (leaves, branches and rhizome) with Soxhlet’s apparatus using petroleum ether as a solvent. The knockdown effect was checked after 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours with different concentrations (50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm) along with a control treatment. The data was analysed by Probit analysis to calculate LC 50 & LT 50 . The results showed that the early larval instars (1 st & 2 nd ) were more susceptible than later ones (pupae). Ginger oil was more potent after 12 and 24 h against all life stages (2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th instar larvae & pupae ) due to lowest LC 50 values (171 & 136 ppm, 183 & 174 ppm, 246 & 199 ppm and 273 & 217 ppm for 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th instar larvae & pupae respectively) followed by peppermint, basil, garlic and neem. However, basil oil released its components after 24 and 48 h and became effective more than others. So, we can use these oils in combination for the better management of mosquitoes.

*Date fruits are traditionally used to prepare a wide range of products such as vinegar wine, jam and syrup named locally “Tahlawt” moreover, their direct consumption. The aim of this study is to investigate the antioxidant and anti-hemolytic activities of six syrups prepared traditionally form six different date fruit cultivars grown in southeast Morocco. Significant difference(P < 0.05) was established among analysed syrups. The highest phenolic (6.70 g GAE /100g DW) and flavonoid content (932.82 mg RE /100g DW) were found in Jihl syrups which possessed the highest antioxidant activity based on FRAP (9.55 mmol TE/100g DW), ABTS (8.27 mmol TE /100 g DW), DPPHIC50(381.99 µg/mL) and exhibited the highest membrane protective effect (317.70 min). Tamaajount syrup contains the lowest phenolic (3.72g GAE /100g DW) and flavonoid content (528.19 mg RE /100g DW) and presented the lowest antioxidant activity based on FRAP (5.30 mmol TE/100g DW), ABTS (4.68 mmol TE /100 g DW) and DPPHIC50 (1.095 mg/mL) as well as the lowest membrane protective effect (226.44 min).The results obtained suggest that date fruit syrups could be considered as a functional food or functional food ingredient because of their high phenolic compounds, which act as antioxidants and membrane stabilizer.

Vegetables are highly nutritious and value able part of our diet and the market sale of ready-to-use fresh vegetables grown rapidly as a result of consumer attitude. Many health benefits also related so its consumer and economic value increasing day by day. Fresh-cut or minimally processed vegetable means to washed, peeled, trimmed or sliced the vegetable into required size, chemically treated, packed into packaging material and finally stored in refrigerating temperature. Minimally process vegetables may also be considered as healthy vegetable with availability of their maximum saved nutrients. In present project spinach is selected to minimally process due to its rich nutritional contents and higher use in our daily life for the production of variety of products. Moreover nutrients like iron, calcium and vitamin K are present in higher concentrations due to which it become more beneficial against some serious health problems like of anemia, hemorrhage, clotting dysfunction and to maintain electrolytes balance in our body.

In present project spinach is selected to minimally process due to its rich nutritional contents and higher use in our daily life for the production of variety of products. Moreover nutrients like iron, calcium and vitamin K are present in higher concentrations due to which it become more beneficial against some serious health problems like of anemia, hemorrhage, clotting dysfunction and to maintain electrolytes balance in our body.","PeriodicalId":413709,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Innovations in Agricultural and Social Sciences )","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122321195","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}

Rape (Brassica napus) is an important and widely grown vegetable crop for food and income generation in most homesteads around Zimbabwe. Most households in Zimbabwe use inorganic fertilizers to improve production of rape in sandy soils which in turn are robbing the soil of its fertility. The present study investigates the effects of vermicompost as a soil supplement on growth and yield of rape compared to chemical fertilizers. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. A set of different vermicompost treatments (2.1%, 4.2%, 8.0%, 12.5%, and 12.5%) and inorganic fertilizer treatments (0.25%, 0.33% and 0.4%) were compared. Results revealed that the inorganic fertilizer treatments favored the growth and yield of rape more than vermicompost treatments. The inorganic fertilizers had quicker rate of release of nutrients as well as higher level of plant available nutrients. Likewise, the number of leaves, leaf length, number of marketable leaves, fresh yield mass, leaf width and whole length was also significantly better in case of inorganic fertilizer treatments. Generally, all treatments varied (p<0.05) as the growth progressed. There was significant interaction (p<0.05) between the treatments at 10 day intervals which was expressed in cumulative number of leaves and number of marketable leaves. It was concluded that use of vermicompost alone as a soil supplement in sandy soil for production of rape lead to lower growth and consequently yield responses. Hence the sole use of vermicompost as soil supplement should be discouraged and an integrated nutrient management plan may be evaluated as the most logical solution.
