The MATERIALS EMPLOYED in the present research investigations were
a field-grown crop of cotton and 4 different spray schedules. The
TRIALS were, however, laid out at the Ayub Agricultural Research
Institute, (AARI), Faisalabad in a Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) and there were, thus, five treatments including a control,
having three repeats each. The SPRAY MATERIALS were prepared on V/V
basis, and sprayed over to the crop at an interval of fortnight
starting from August, 2010 by means of a Solo-Knapsack sprayer. The
various observations on the population of cotton jassid during the
trials were kept on being taken continuously throughout the test
season. The data on the population of jassid, from each plot were
recorded early in the morning one, two, three and seven days after
the application of the insecticides, from five plants, selected at
random. For this purpose, one leaf each from the upper portion,
from the middle portion and from lower portion, were observed for
jassid population, till five plants were completed. The population
data were, however, finally presented in the form of mean values
separately for each repeat of the various test treatments.
Cancer is a group of diseases in which cells grow and divide
aggressively without beyond to normal limits, invade and destroy
adjacent tissues and spread to other locations in the body. Cancer
is usually classified according to the tissue from which the
cancerous cells originate. Cancer cells continue to grow and divide
so they are different from normal cells. Cancer may affect people
at all ages, even fetuses, but risk for the more common varieties
tends to increase with age. Cancer causes about 13% of all deaths.
A definitive diagnosis usually requires the histological
examination of a tissue biopsy specimen by a pathologist. A tumor
marker is a substance found in the blood, urine, or body tissues
that can be elevated in cancer, among other tissue types. The
objectives of this research project are to preliminary screening of
population in order to determine prevalence of cancer by using
tumor markers and to diagnose cancer at early stage, when it is
most curable.
A field experiment was conducted at the agronomic research area,
University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, in order to study the effect
of different levels of nitrogen and magnesium on growth, yield and
quality of hybrid maize (Cargil 707). The crop was sown in 70 cm
spaced rows, while plant to plant distance was maintained at 15 cm
with the help of the Dibbler. The experiment was laid out in
randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replication
using a net plot size of 3.5 x 7.5 m. Experimental treatments
comprised of (T0); 0-0, (T1); 100 kg N + 10 kg Mg, (T2); 100 kg N +
15 kg Mg, (T3); 150 kg N + 10 kg Mg, (T4); 150 kg N + 15 kg Mg,
(T5); 200 kg N + 10 kg Mg, (T6); 200 kg N + 15 kg Mg per hectare.
The source of N and Mg was urea and MgCl2, respectively.
Recommended doses of P2O5 and K2 O at the rate of 100 kg per hector
of each in the form DAP and KCl, respectively were used as a basal
dose. The crop was planted on autumn & harvested in the month
of December and the data was recorded by using the standard
procedures.
The present investigations were made effect the effect of NPK
application in different proportions on the growth and yield of two
maize varieties (Zea Mays L.). The research was conducted on a
sandy loam soil at the Agronomic Research Area, University of
Agriculture, Faisalabad. Experiment was laid out in Randomized
Complete Block Design (factorial) with a net plot size of 3X5m.
Different levels of NPK were 0-0-0 (F0), 100-50-35 (F1), 175-80-60
(F2), and 250- 110-85 (F3) kg per ha. Two maize varieties, Golden
(V1) and Sultan (V2) were used as source of trial. The crop was
sown on well prepared seed bed keeping R X R distance 60 cm and P X
P distance at 23 cm. The whole of the phosphorus and potash along
with half of nitrogen fertilizers in form of DAP, Sulphate of
potash and Urea respectively, were applied at sowing and the
remaining amount of nitrogen fertilizer was applied at tasseling
stage of the plant. All other cultural practices were kept normal
and uniform in all the treatments. The data on desired parameters
were collected by using standard procedures.
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important food
grain crop grown in the world. It ranks first in the world cereal
crops accounting for 30% of all cereal food worldwide and is a
staple food for over 10 billion people in as many as 43 countries
of the world. It provides about 20% of the total food calories for
the human race (S.R. Reddy 2004). It is also a significant source
of carbohydrates and nutrition both for human beings and animals.
Its straw constitute an essential part of livestock feed as well as
for paper making. Due to its immense and multipurpose use in daily
life, the Prosperity and well being of pakistan depends upon good
harvest of wheat. In view of the importance of the irrigation and
nitrogen for crop production present study is planned with the
following objectives. 1. To determine the optimum water and
nitrogen requirement of the wheat crop. 2. To identify the growth
stages in wheat more sensitive to water deficit conditions. 3. To
determine the effect of different levels of irrigation and nitrogen
on growths, radiation use efficiency (RUE) and yield of wheat.
