In agriculture, the application of micronutrient application takes place through soil application, foliar spraying, or added seed treatments. Potassium (K) application fulfills the deficiency of K in soil due to a continuous exhaustive cropping system. Zinc (Zn) bio-fortification of seed by priming is responsible for increasing the concentration of Zn in the edible part of a seed with the aim of remedying malnutrition. For this, a field experiment was conducted at the Agronomic research area, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. Treatment included different rates of K (0, 40, 60, and 80 kg ha-1) and different rates of Zn (0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6%). Potassium was applied in fertigation while zinc was applied in foliar form. The experiment was designed in Randomized complete block design (RCBD) and was repeated three times. It resulted that different rate of potassium and zinc application showed a significant effect on plant growth and yield attributes. Plant growth and yield increased with increasing the rate of potassium and zinc application and decreased with the decreasing the rate of application of potassium and zinc application. The maximum values for plant growth and yield attributes were observed with K3 and Zn3 while the minimum values were recorded with the application of K0 and Zn0. Results regarding the nutrient uptakes showed that maximum values for zinc uptake were also recorded in seed and stem attributes. Maximum values for zinc uptake in seed and stem (37.2 and 14.5 mg/kg) were observed in the Zn3 treatment and the minimum values for zinc uptake (30.1 and 11 mg/kg) were recorded Zn0 treatment, respectively. It was concluded that 80 kg ha-1 application of potassium with 0.6 % foliar application of zinc significantly affects the growth and yield of wheat crops. Zinc foliar application can be helpful for zinc fortification.

Cotton is a well-known agricultural and industrial crop that plays a significant role in Pakistan's economy. For this study, RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design) using three replications was carried out to sow fifty different cotton genotypes. Results of the experiments showed that under normal and drought conditions, relative water content has highly significant and positive association with excise leaf water while at genotypic level, positively significant correlation with aforesaid traits has been found. Genotypes under study were assembled into five differing clusters by keeping a linkage space. Comparison of all five groups revealed that Cluster-1 is relevant to all the qualities being studied in both conditions as all these characters had the greatest value in the said group. The lowest ranked was observed for parameters under study in Cluster-5. These kinds of discoveries can be useful in planning the new hybridization programs to develop abiotic tolerance in the cotton.

This study was conducted to evaluate different planting methods for rice crops in the rice wheat zone of Sheikhupura Pakistan for the year 2019-2020. Four planting methods were tested in this study conventional transplanting of rice, 2- Manual transplanting of rice by rope, 3-Mechanical transplanting of rice and 4-Direct seeding of rice. Among all these methods, the mechanical transplanting of rice method proved to perform best in terms of meeting recommended plant population of rice crop, rice crop yield and yield parameters followed by manual transplanting of rice by rope method and direct seeding of rice method. Mechanical transplanting of rice is a mechanized technology for sowing rice crops; solving labor problems and time management. Transplanting of rice by rope method is a laborious method. Direct seeding of rice method also fulfil labour, and plant population issues with proper weeds management, Conventional transplanting of rice method performed poorly in terms of plant population, yield and yield parameters.

The development of new crop varieties is a continuous process as old cultivars become susceptible to various biotic and abiotic stresses, thus decreasing the yield potential. The newly developed rapeseed variety “Barani Sarsoon” a high-yielding, disease resistant and drought tolerant has been developed through the selection method of breeding from the exotic material. A promising progeny of a single plant was selected and named “14CBN009”. The performance of “14CBN009” was further evaluated along with standard varieties in various replicated yield trials for six years from 2014-15 to 2018-19. The selected line “14CBN009” produced a higher grain yield (kg/ha) than the standard varieties in all replicated yield trials with a yield potential of 3378 kg/hectare which is tolerant to drought and resistant to diseases. The best sowing time for this variety is from 25th September to 15th October with a seed rate of 2.50 kg/acre. The seed contains 44.53% oil content. The main yield contributing characters of “14CBN009” are pods per plant, seeds per pod and thousand-seed weight. Based on the desirable phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, higher grain yield and oil content percentage, “14CBN009” was approved as a rapeseed variety with the name of “Barani Sarsoon” by the Punjab Seed Council in its 55th meeting held on Sep 20, 2021, for commercial cultivation in the Punjab rainfed areas. Due to high yielding, drought and disease-tolerant characteristics, the new variety “Barani Sarsoon” will prove to be a good alternative to existing varieties and improve the production and income of the oilseed crops growers of the rainfed area.

Post-harvest treatment plays a significant role in extending the shelf life of fresh produce. This study was conducted with the aim to evaluate the efficacy of post-harvest 1-MCP and bee wax treatment on plum quality under cold storage condition (3±1oC, RH; 80-85%). Fruit were divided into 9 groups and subjected to different treatments i-e T0 (untreated) T1 (1-MCP 0.5µl/L), T2 (1-MCP 1µl/L), T3 (5% bee wax), T4 (10% bee wax), T5 (1-MCP 0.5µl/L+5% bee wax), T6 (1-MCP 0.5µl/L+10% bee wax), T7 (1-MCP 1µl/L+5% bee wax), and T8 (1-MCP 1µl/L+10% bee wax). Various physicochemical and sensory quality attributes were evaluated at 12 days intervals for 60 days. The results for the sample T8 revealed lowest decrease in ascorbic acid (10.15%), titratable acidity (15.05%), overall acceptability (34.52%) and lowest percent increase weight loss (2.71%), total soluble solid (18.40%), total sugar (19.49%), pH (11.63%).While T0 showed highest percent decrease in ascorbic acid (41.67%), titratable acidity (55.91%), overall acceptability (74.80%) and highest increase in percent weight loss (14.34%), total soluble solid (30.82%), total sugar (30.50%), pH (22.45%). Therefore, it could be concluded that T8 demonstrated good results for physicochemical and sensory characteristics during cold storage treatment. Furthermore, combination of 1-MCP and bee wax could be used to preserve the internal and external quality.

Impact of weed-crop competition periods on the yield and yield parameters of mungbean was investigated during the spring and summer season of 2018 at Agronomic Research Farm, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. Treatments comprised of different weed-crop competition periods, weeds were allowed to compete for 15, 30, 45 and 60 days with mungbean after sowing. For comparison, weed free and weedy check plots were also maintained. Results revealed the importance of controlling weeds for getting better grain and other yield contributing traits during both the seasons. Uncontrolled weeds caused about 50 percent yield losses. Whereas similar results of grain yield and other yield related parameters were also recorded in weed free plots and weed-crop competition period for 15 days after sowing plots, while there is a gradual decline in yield and other yield related parameters if weed-crop competition periods were prolonged. These studies highlighted the importance of controlling weeds with further indication of controlling weeds till 15-30 days after sowing to get better yield of mungbean crop in both the spring and summer seasons.

A field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of horse purslane on mungbean productivity at the research farm of MNS-University of Agriculture Multan during Kharif season of 2018. For this purpose, 10 experimental treatments including T1 (weed free for the whole season), T2 (horse purslane free for 20 days after emergence, DAE), T3 (horse purslane free for 40 DAE), T4 (horse purslane free for 60 DAE), T5 (all weeds free for 20 DAE), T6 (all weeds free for 40 DAE), T7 (all weeds free for 60 DAE), T8 (weedy check with all weeds), T9 (weedy check except horse purslane) and T10 (weedy check containing only horse purslane) were used. The experiment was carried out under RCBD (Randomized complete block design) and replicated thrice. Data was recorded for different growth and yield related traits of mungbean by using standard procedures. Data recorded were statistically analyzed and treatment means were compared by using Tuckey’s test @ 5% probability level. Results showed that maximum number of grains per pod (10.66), number of pods plant-1 (28.00), 1000 grain weight (68.40 g), grain yield (1.9 t ha-1) were noticed in the plots which were kept weed free. Hence it may be concluded that for maximum yield, farmers should control horse purslane at early stage of the crop.

This study was conducted to examine the impact of demographic attributes on the usage of information and communication technologies (ICTs) among dairy farmers in District Sheikhupura, which is a prominent area in terms of dairy potential and dairy households. The use of ICTs was aimed at improving dairy farm productivity through extended awareness and adoption of recommendations. Tota 383 randomly selected respondents were interviewed face to face on a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results indicated that 36% of farmers were aged between 36-50 years, 35.8% had no formal education, 60.1% had less than 5 acres of land and 37.6% had the experience of over 20 years. The chi-square test of association confirmed that education (P0.05), land size (P0.05) and monthly income (P0.05) were significantly associated with the use of ICTs. Whereas, age and experiences were insignificant (P0.05) with the use of ICTs. Multiple Regression analysis confirmed that age, education and size of landholdings had statistically significant relationships with the adoption of ICTs among dairy farmers. This study, concludes that improvement in the socio-economic attributes of the farmers was associated with the improvement in the use of ICTs. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the socio-economic conditions of farmers through farmer facilitation, subsidies, training and skills development regarding use of ICT gadgets.

Purpose: Over and under dose application and of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) leads to inferior growth and yield reduction in field crops. Different nutrients have synergetic and antagonistic effects according to soil properties, climate, crop type and management practices at the same time. Research Methods: In this field study, we tried to explore the combined effect of N and P on peanut phenology, yield and soil N and P status. Three N (N1=20, N2=40, N3=60 kg ha-1) and three P (P1=60, P2=80, P3=100kg ha-1) application rates were applied in a split-plot complete randomized design in 2016 and 2017 growing seasons of peanut, while after harvesting of peanut field was fallow. Findings: Our results demonstrated that combined or individual application of N and P not affected phenophases of peanuts (germination, flowering and pegging) except physiological maturity, and a low rate of N application increased maturity duration time in peanut. While pod production in low N doses was more as compared to high dose application of N and P, except N3P2 in both years, a greater number of pods attained less grain weight and lower yield. Concurrently, a higher dose of N and P individually produced higher yield (2614, 2647 in N3, 2549, 2527 kg ha-1 in N2) and lower yield was quantified 2216 and 2205 in N1 in both years (2016-2017) respectively. Similarly, 2658, 2647, and 2496, 2507 kg ha-1 were weighted in P3 and P2 respectively. But their combined effect was non-significant (P0.05). In the case of soil total N and available P, N increment doubled (~0.8 g kg-1) as compared to initial N status regardless of N application rate but P had no effect on available P contents in upper soil (0-15 cm) surface. So, peanut cultivation can be a promising strategy for N increment in a semi-arid area of Pakistan. Limitations: Due to the limited availability of funds, we analyzed areas of topsoil (0-15). It will be better to do soil analysis in depth for further studies. These findings are valuable for researchers, farmers, and regional agriculture departments, because alternation in nitrogen rate application didn’t change the soil N level with the combination of phosphorus in peanut. So, Findings suggested that low N application was enough for peanut cultivation. Nitrogen and phosphorus have a significant effect on the growth and yield of peanuts. Peanut crop needs the half amount of nitrogen than phosphorus because it is a leguminous crop and has nitrogen factories in the root nodules.
目的:过量或过少施用氮、磷会导致大田作物生长不良和减产。不同的养分根据土壤性质、气候、作物类型和管理方式同时具有增效和拮抗作用。研究方法:通过田间试验，探讨氮磷对花生物候、产量及土壤氮磷状况的综合影响。在2016年和2017年花生生长季，采用分畦完全随机设计，施用3种氮肥(N1=20, N2=40, N3=60 kg ha-1)和3种磷肥(P1=60, P2=80, P3=100kg ha-1)，花生田收获后休耕。结果表明:除生理成熟期外，施氮、磷或单独施氮、磷均不影响花生的物候期(发芽、开花和结荚)，低施氮量增加了花生的成熟期。低氮处理的豆荚产量高于高氮磷肥处理，但除N3P2外，两年内豆荚数量多，籽粒重少，产量低。同时，在2016-2017年，较高剂量的N和P单产较高(N3为2614、2647、N2为2549、2527 kg ha-1)， N1为2216和2205，单产较低。同样，P3和P2分别加权2658、2647和2496、2507 kg ha-1。但两组综合效应无显著性差异(P0.05)。在全氮和速效磷方面，无论施氮量如何，施氮量均比初始施氮量增加了一倍(~0.8 g kg-1)，但施磷对土壤表层(0 ~ 15 cm)速效磷含量没有影响。因此，在巴基斯坦半干旱地区，种植花生可能是一种很有前途的增氮策略。局限性:由于资金有限，我们分析了表土面积(0-15)。为了进一步研究，最好进行深入的土壤分析。这些发现对研究人员、农民和地区农业部门具有一定的参考价值，因为氮肥施用的交替并没有改变花生中磷组合的土壤N水平。因此，研究结果表明，低施氮量对花生种植是足够的。氮、磷对花生的生长和产量有显著影响。花生作物的氮素需要量是磷的一半，因为它是豆科作物，根瘤中有氮素工厂。

Currently, more than half of the world's population relies on rice as a primary crop, making it a crucial cereal crop in the struggle against food security. Sustainable rice production is under great threat because of poor soil productivity and fertility because of nutrient losses due to temperature stress under semiarid conditions. Boron (B) is a vital micronutrient and plays an eminent role in plant proliferation and development. The Super Basmati and KS-282 seeds were coated with boric acid at dosages of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 g kg-1 in this experiment. Both rice cultivars exhibited the following traits when boric acid was applied at a rate of 0.75g kg-1 seed: plant height, maximum number of productive tillers, number of kernels per panicle, grain weight in the thousand, biological yield, paddy yield and straw yield. When boric acid was applied at 0.75 g kg-1 seed, the physiological characteristics of Super Basmati and KS-282 rice cultivars, such as crop growth rate, leaf area index, leaf area duration and net absorption rate were significantly greater yielding values of 11.08 gm-2d-1 and 11.96 gm-2 d-1, 4.28 and 4.32, 67.52 and 68.94, 7.33 g m-2 d-1, and 8.93 gm When both the super basmati and KS-282 rice cultivars were treated with boric acid at 0.75 g kg-1 seed, considerably higher paddy yields (3.95 t ha-1) and (5.02 t) were obtained. The kernel quality parameters show maximum results when boric acid applied at 0.75g kg-1 seed. Current research shows that coating seed with micro nano-nutrients are highly effective procedure for increasing rice production and fertilizer use efficiency under semiarid climatic conditions.
目前，世界上一半以上的人口依赖大米作为主要作物，使其成为粮食安全斗争中至关重要的谷物作物。在半干旱条件下，由于温度胁迫导致养分流失，土壤生产力和肥力低下，可持续水稻生产受到极大威胁。硼是一种重要的微量元素，对植物的生长发育起着重要的作用。本试验采用硼酸包膜处理，剂量分别为0.25、0.50、0.75和1.00 g kg-1。当硼酸用量为0.75g kg-1粒时，两个品种表现出以下性状:株高、最大有效分蘖数、每穗粒数、千粒重、生物产量、水稻产量和秸秆产量。当硼酸是应用于0.75 g公斤种子,超级的生理特点印度香米和ks - 282的大米品种,如作物生长速率、叶面积指数、叶面积持续时间和净吸收率明显的屈服值11.08 gm-2d-1和11.96 gm-2 d 1, 4.28和4.32,67.52和68.94,7.33 g m - 2 d 1和8.93通用当超级印度香米和ks - 282的大米品种用硼酸处理在0.75 g公斤种子,水稻产量显著提高(3.95 t hm -1)和(5.02 t hm -1)。硼酸用量为0.75g kg-1时，籽粒品质参数达到最大值。目前的研究表明，在半干旱气候条件下，微纳养分包衣是提高水稻产量和肥料利用效率的有效措施。
