Genetic Diversity Analysis for Earliness, Fiber Quality and Cotton Leaf Curl Virus in Gossypium hirsutum L. Accessions.
In the present set of experiment 159 cotton genotypes that were imported from USA were evaluated for cotton leaf curl
virus disease tolerance, better fiber quality and various yield related traits. For evaluation of these ...
Spatio-temporal Distribution of Actual Evapotranspiration in the Indus Basin Irrigation System
Strategic planning of optimal water use requires an accurate assessment of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) to understand the environmental and hydrological processes of the world’s largest contiguous irrigation networks, ...
Strategies for Phosphorus Nutrition of Dryland Wheat in Pakistan
Phosphorus (P) is an endemic soil constraint to crop production in rainfed semi-arid regions like the 1.82-Mha Pothohar Plateau in Pakistan, where we monitored the P status of rainfed wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and ...
Lead phytoextraction by wheat in response to the edta application method
Lead solubilization in soil and accumulation by spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was studied in response to the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) application method. In this study, 4 mmol EDTA kg−1 was applied using ...
Spatio-temporal estimation of consumptive water use for assessment of irrigation system performance and management of water resources in irrigated Indus Basin, Pakistan
Reallocation of water resources in any irrigation scheme is only possible by detailed assessment of current
irrigation performance. The performance of the Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) irrigation system in
Pakistan was evaluated ...
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 ...
Effect of prescribed fire on forage production and nutritive value of the perennial grass Saccharum griffithii
The effect of fire on growth and nutritive value of Saccharum griffithii Munro ex Boiss-ravennae (Linn.) Murr. hybrid, a low palatable perennial grass in the semi-arid region of the highlands of Balochistan, Pakistan, was ...
Cotton leaf curl virus disease a principle cause of decline in cotton productivity in Pakistan (a mini review)
Among most serious threats of last two decades with reference to cotton crop in Pakistan is Cotton leaf Curl Virus. This disease inflicted huge losses not only to the cotton crop but also to the economy of Pakistan. It ...
Nutrients Can Enhance the Abundance and Expression of Alkane Hydroxylase CYP153 Gene in the Rhizosphere of Ryegrass Planted in Hydrocarbon-Polluted Soil
Plant-bacteria partnership is a promising strategy for the remediation of soil and water polluted with hydrocarbons. However, the limitation of major nutrients (N, P and K) in soil affects the survival and metabolic activity ...
Regional aspects – Desertification in the Middle East and North Africa
Desertification is nowhere more serious han in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), stretching from Pakistan in the east to Morocco in the west, and from Ethiopia and Sudan in the south to Turkey in the north. Yet, ...
