Aim: To evaluate morphometric and agronomic traits of fifteen groundnut varieties from germplasm of the National Pulses Program of Institut National pour l’Etude et la Recherche Agronomiques. Study Design: This study was conducted using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with fifteen treatments repeated three times. Place and duration of the study: The trial was conducted at Gimbi research station from March 9 to June 13, 2022. Methodology: This study was conducted using fifteen varieties (treatments) replicated three times. Data collected concerned the percentage of seedlings that emerged, morphometric and agronomic parameters. Results: Seeds emerged varied from 80.6 to 93.5%. Collar diameter varied from 8.7 to 10.1mm, and stem height from 40.5 to 55.1cm. Groundnut varieties flowered on 30 to 35 DAS, and pod maturity is reached on 90 to 98 DAS. Number of pods per plant varied from 10.2 to 16.6, and number of seeds per pod from 2.0 to 2.3. The weight of fresh pods per plot varied from 1,002.3 to 1,043.2g, and the weight of dry pods per plot from 742.3 to 858.7g. The 100-seed weight varied from 49.4 to 53.4g. Dry pods yield varied from 1,546.5 to 1,816.1kg/ha, and seeds yield from 1,376.8 to 1,642.4kg/ha. The principal component analysis figure explains reality with 55.32% information. The first axis explained explains 33.54% of the information, and the second axis explained explains 21.78% of the information. Ascending hierarchical classification grouped groundnut varieties into five classes. Conclusion: This study shows high variability in the behaviour of groundnut varieties used. Collar diameter and plant height development are continuous from the second to the eighth WAS, then practically fade from the tenth WAS. Groundnut varieties flowered, and pods reached maturity at the same time. Yield is positively correlated with the weight of dry pods and the weight of seeds per plot. Hierarchical classification revealed five distinct classes of groundnut varieties.

Bactrocera zonata is the destructive pest of peach, mango and banana by causing Significant economic losse It reduces fruit quality, which directly causes decline in export of these economical fruits. Many management strategies were carried to suppress the population of this invasive pest. The use of chemical insecticides in the orchard for control of B. zonata is restricted because insecticides causes several complication in fruit health and makes fruits unfit for human consumption. The EPF (Beauveria bassiana) act as potent biocontrol agent. B. bassiana enriched with three cuticle degrading enzymes including protease, lipases and chitinase. These enzymes have ability to hydrolyze and degrade the epicuticle and break the antifungal proteins linkage present in that cuticle for facilitating the spore’s penetration. The current study emphasizes the activity of cuticle degrading enzymes (CDE) of Beauveria bassiana (protease, chitinase, lipases) for the management of B. zonata.
虫害是桃子、芒果和香蕉的毁灭性害虫，会造成严重的经济损失，降低水果质量，直接导致这些经济水果的出口下降。 为了抑制这种入侵害虫的数量，人们采取了许多管理策略。在果园中使用化学杀虫剂来控制 B. zonata 是受限制的，因为杀虫剂会对水果健康造成多种并发症，并使水果不适合人类食用。 EPF （Beauveria bassiana）是一种有效的生物控制剂。B. bassiana 富含三种角质层降解酶，包括蛋白酶、脂肪酶和几丁质酶。这些酶具有水解和降解表皮层的能力，并能切断表皮层中的抗真菌蛋白质连接，从而促进孢子的穿透。目前的研究强调了 Bauveria bassiana 的角质层降解酶（CDE）（蛋白酶、几丁质酶和脂肪酶）在管理 B. zonata 方面的活性。

To mitigate the impact of climate change on barley production, adaptation strategies are crucial including developing and promoting drought-tolerant barley genotypes that can withstand higher temperatures. This study aimed to evaluate twenty different barley genotypes under different conditions, specifically normal, heat stress, and rain-fed conditions during 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 growing seasons. This study was conducted as part of breeding programs aimed at developing agricultural genotypes that can adapt to changing environments. The experiment involved evaluating the performance of the twenty barley genotypes at three different locations: Sakha for the normal condition, New Valley Station for the heat stress condition, and Marsa Matruh for the rain-fed condition. The analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences in grain yield among the different genotypes and locations, as well as the interaction between genotypes and locations. This indicates that the genotypes responded differently to the different locations, and further analysis is needed to determine their stability. The average grain yield ranged from 9.9 to 16.0 arddab fad-1 (Faddan=4200m2) for Giza 135 and Line 5, respectively, across all three locations in both seasons, this shows that there is variation among the genotypes. Considering GGE biplot and stability analyses, Giza 126, Giza 2000, Giza 134, Giza 137, Giza 138, Line1, Line 2, Line 3, Line 4 and Line 5 showed the best performances, suggesting their adaptation to a wide range of environments. This suggests that these genotypes perform well in relation to the linear component of the genotype-by-environment interaction. Overall, this information can be used by plant breeders to select genotypes that are not only high-yielding but also stable across different environments.
为了减轻气候变化对大麦生产的影响，适应策略至关重要，包括开发和推广能够承受更高温度的耐旱大麦基因型。本研究旨在评估2019/2020和2020/2021生长季不同条件下20种不同的大麦基因型，特别是正常、热胁迫和雨养条件下。这项研究是育种计划的一部分，旨在开发能够适应不断变化的环境的农业基因型。该试验包括在三个不同的地点评估20种大麦基因型的表现:萨哈(Sakha)在正常条件下，新谷站(New Valley Station)在热胁迫条件下，Marsa Matruh在雨养条件下。方差分析表明，籽粒产量在不同基因型和位置之间存在显著差异，基因型和位置之间存在交互作用。这表明基因型对不同位置的反应不同，需要进一步分析以确定其稳定性。吉萨135号和5号系在两个季节三个地点的平均籽粒产量分别为9.9 ~ 16.0 arddab fad-1 (Faddan=4200m2)，这表明基因型之间存在差异。综合GGE双标图和稳定性分析，吉萨126号、吉萨2000号、吉萨134号、吉萨137号、吉萨138号、1号线、2号线、3号线、4号线和5号线表现最佳，表明其适应环境范围广。这表明，这些基因型在基因型-环境相互作用的线性成分中表现良好。总的来说，这些信息可以被植物育种家用来选择不仅高产而且在不同环境下稳定的基因型。

By reducing seed dormancy, seed priming is an effective way to increase bitter gourd seed germination and vigor. To ascertain the impact of seed priming treatment on the physiological quality of bitter gourd seeds, an experiment was carried out in the spring. In a single factorial randomized full block design with three replications, seeds were sowed on 28 celled seed treys for this experiment in an open field setting. Water, cow milk, cow urine, NANO urea, nutrition solution, NaCl solution, and untreated seed were all used as priming agents. Bitter gourd seeds of the Durga variety were sowed, and soil, vermicompost, and sand were used as the growing media in a 2:1:1 ratio. The experiment examined various metrics, including germination rate, germination index, seedling vigor index, root and leaf length, plant height, number of leaves and roots, root-to-shoot ratio, and fresh weight. The treatments including germination % were all found to be positively influenced by the priming. In hydro-priming, the highest germination rate (81.96%) was noted. On hydro-priming, the highest number of roots (11), was recorded. Maximum shoot diameter (0.34 cm) and fresh weight (2.41 g) were recorded under controlled treatment and hydro priming, respectively. The study comes to the conclusion that Durga hydro priming followed by halo priming in seed trays was shown to be effective for seed germination and seedling growth. As a result, Nepali farmers can prime bitter gourd seeds using tap water and a NaCl solution.

Sustainable agricultural productivity is under threat due to lack of interest in the use of bio-organic fertilizers to alleviate drawbacks of conventional agricultural practices. Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria plays vital role in improving phosphorus availability to plants through slowly release from inorganic and organic soil phosphorus budgets by solubilization and mineralization. Furthermore, phosphorus solubilizing bacteria in combination with poultry manure has great potential to improve phosphorus uptake, growth and development of the plants. Firstly, a pot experiment consisted of seven strains of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) with one control (un-inoculated) were used using completely randomized design (CRD) for 55 days screening trial to screen out the efficient phosphorus solubilizing bacterial strains. Secondly, a field experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) at Research Farm of College of Agriculture, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Bahadur Sub Campus Layyah, South Punjab-Pakistan during 2019-2020 to explore the effect of screened efficient phosphorus solubilizing bacterial strains; PSB0=No inoculation; PSB2=Bacillus spp. PSB2, PSB3=Bacillus spp. PSB3, PSB5=Bacillus spp. PSB5, PSB6=Bacillus spp. PSB6 in combination with poultry manure; PM0= without poultry manure and PM1= with poultry manure (20 t ha-1) on growth and yield traits of sugarbeet, and rhizosphere soil health indicators. Results regarding pot experiment showed that phosphorus solubilizing bacterial strains PSB2, PSB3, PSB5 and PSB6 had great potential to improve growth traits of sugarbeet crop and screened as efficient phosphorus solubilizing bacterial strains. Results of field experiment revealed that the combined application of efficient phosphorus solubilizing bacterial strains (PSB2 and PSB5) with poultry manure (20 t ha-1) produced the highest growth, and yield traits of sugarbeet crop, and rhizosphere soil health indicators.Our findings suggest that the combined application of efficient phosphorus solubilizing bacterial strains (PSB2 and PSB5) with poultry manure (20 t ha-1) is a promising and viable option to achieve the maximum sugarbeet productivity under changing environmental scenarios.
由于人们对使用生物有机肥来减轻传统农业做法的缺点缺乏兴趣，可持续农业生产力受到威胁。增磷菌通过增磷和矿化作用，缓慢释放无机和有机土壤磷，在提高植物磷有效性方面发挥着重要作用。此外，溶磷菌与禽粪配合使用对提高植物对磷的吸收和生长发育具有很大的潜力。首先，采用完全随机设计(CRD)，采用7株增磷菌(PSB)和1株对照(未接种)盆栽试验进行55 d筛选，筛选出高效增磷菌。其次，采用随机完全区组设计(RCBD)，于2019-2020年在巴基斯坦旁遮普南部巴哈杜尔分校农学院研究农场进行田间试验，探讨筛选的高效溶磷菌株的效果;PSB0 =没有接种;PSB2=芽孢杆菌spp. PSB2, PSB3=芽孢杆菌spp. PSB3, PSB5=芽孢杆菌spp. PSB5, PSB6=芽孢杆菌spp. PSB6与家禽粪结合;PM0=不加家禽粪和PM1=加家禽粪(20 t hm -1)对甜菜生长、产量性状及根际土壤健康指标的影响。盆栽试验结果表明，增磷菌株PSB2、PSB3、PSB5和PSB6在改善甜菜作物生长性状方面具有较大潜力，已被筛选为高效增磷菌株。田间试验结果表明，高效增磷菌株PSB2和PSB5与20 t hm -1禽粪配施对甜菜生长、产量性状和根际土壤健康指标影响最大。研究结果表明，在不断变化的环境条件下，高效溶磷菌株(PSB2和PSB5)与家禽粪(20 t ha-1)联合施用是实现甜菜产量最大化的可行选择。
