Impact of Climate Change on Groundwater Fluctuation, Root Zone Salinity And Water Productivity of Sugarcane: A Case Study In Lower Chenab Canal System of Pakistan
Impact of climate in Pakistan is certain and its impact assessment is essential for the evaluation of irrigation system. In this study, impact of climate change on groundwater, root zone salinity and eventually on water ...
Environmental and Economic Benefits of Saline-Sodic Soil Reclamation Using Low-quality Water and Soil Amendments in Conjunction with a Rice–Wheat Cropping System
A combination of appropriate crop rotation(s) and management interventions has the potential to transform saline-sodic soil and water resources from an environmental burden into an economic asset. We carried out 2-year ...
Nitrogen Management in Calcareous Soils: Problems and Solutions
Nitrogen (N) is the most widely applied plant nutrient and is a key constituent of animal manures. Improvement in crop
yields and high economic returns have been made possible through supplementation of crops with organic ...
Study of Secondary Endosymbionts of Whiteflies Collected from Cotton Growing Districts of Punjab, Pakistan
Whitefly is the insect vector for cotton leaf curl disease. Like many arthropods, whitefly possess
different primary and secondary endosymbionts depending on ecological zone and biotype. These
endosymbionts play important ...
Effects of genetic changes to the begomovirus/betasatellite complex causing cotton leaf curl disease in South Asia post-resistance breaking
Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) has been a problem for cotton production across Pakistan and north-eastern India since the early 1990s. The appearance of the disease has been attributed to the introduction, and near ...
Accumulation and implications of cadmium, cobalt and manganese in soils and vegetables irrigated with city effluent
In most parts of Pakistan, untreated city effluent is utilised for growing vegetables around large urban settlements such as Faisalabad. Farmers use it as a source of irrigation water and plant nutrients. However, its ...
Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration
Food security concerns and the scarcity of new productive land have put productivity enhancement of degraded lands back
on the political agenda. In such a context, salt-affected lands are a valuable resource that cannot ...
