A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the integrated effect of weed control practices on the weed control efficiency, growth and yield of autumn planted maize (Zea mays L.) under agroecological conditions of Faisalabad. Treatments comprised manual hoeing and earthing up alone and in combination with metolachlor + atrazine @1110+740 g a.i.ha; manual hoeing + earthing up, metolachlor + atr...

Salinity is one of the most important constrain affecting crop growth and productivity. Hence studying salinity at morphological and biochemical point of view has become the basis for understanding salinity and plant interactions. Under stress, plants survive by enhancing the osmolyte accumulation by complex metabolic activities. Present investigation deals with the effect of salinity on growth...

The effect of salinity on growth, photosynthetic pigment content, and alkaloid secondary metabolite accumulation were studied in an economically important medicinal plant, Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don., under pot culture conditions. Plants were treated with different concentrations of NaCl, (e.g. 50 and 100 mM) 30, 45, 60, and 75 days after sowing (DAS). The plants were uprooted randomly 90 ...

Year to year change in weather poses serious threats agriculture globally, especially developing countries. Global climate models simulate an increase global temperature between 2.9 5.5 °C till 2060, and crop production is highly vulnerable warming trends. Extreme causes a significant reduction yields by negatively regulating the phenology. Therefore, evaluate impact on cotton (Gossypium hirsut...

The objective of this experiment was to study the effects different concentrations plant growth regulators prohexadione-calcium (ProCa) on control tomato seedlings. conducted in forest seedling nursery Faculty Agronomic Sciences - UNESP, Botucatu Campus-SP. experimental design completely randomized, composed five treatments: 0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg active ingredient (a.i.) ProCa, with 4 repl...

Nitrogen fertilizers play an important role in the cultivation of crops, excessive and improper usage cause severe issues with respect to human environment. It is essential go for alternative sources nitrogen like nano slow controlled release nitrogen.An experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Farm, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, during kharif 2022 by using source maize crop...
