Cotton is an important fiber crop of Pakistan and is also the second most important oilseed crop in the world. The cotton plant possesses a narrow range of ecological adaptability and is very much influenced by the climatic conditions. Among many factors causing low yield, sowing time and plant spacing are more important. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the effect of different sowing times and plant distances on the growth, seed cotton yield and quality of cotton genotype BH-160 under the agro-ecological conditions of Rahim Yar Khan in irrigated environment. It may be concluded from this study that the boll number, boll weight and yield per plant decreased with closer spacing but seed cotton yield per hectare increased. The 15 cm plant to plant spacing produced more seed cotton yield due to more number to of plants per hectare, which compensated the other, yield components. Plants spacing however did not affect G.O.T%, seed index and fibre quality and plant height. Sowing date of 15th May gave maximum seed cotton yield and did not effect on monopodial branches.

Phosphorus and Zn deficiencies are common nutritional restrictions to crop production in the soils of Pakistan. The P-Zn interactions in plants have been examined in the past but their interaction effects on economic yield of crops are still confusing, particularly in sandy clay loam soils. For these reasons, a field experiment was laid out in RCBD-factorial with three replications. It is concluded from this experiment that the treatment with 40 kg P and 8 kg Zn ha-1 gave the best combination of phosphorus and zinc levels at 100 kg N ha-1. It is also the most suitable from economic point of view as it gave maximum benefit cost ratio and value cost ratio along with high net income.

Maize is an important cereal crop world wide, not only as a staple food in various parts of the world, but also as a major component of feeds for the animals. Adapted to a wide range of climates, the crop is mostly grown between latitudes 30 and 55, principally in latitudes below 47 . It is a warm weather crop, doing best when temperatures in the warm months range from 21 to 27 C. The judicious use of organic and mineral fertilizers may increase micronutrient density in grain destined for human consumption and play a promising rule in reducing human's micronutrient deficiency. The integrated nutrient management for crop improvement has been paid little attention in agriculture areas of developing world. Therefore, the present study was executed to evaluate the integrated nutrients use affect on growth, yield and quality of maize.

Agriculture is an important sector of the country economy providing basic commodity of the daily use. The total cultivated area in the province is 2.75 million ha. Charsadda is one of the 3rd important district of Peshawar division. Total area of Charsadda district is 250250 acres; with 156924 acres irrigated.The major crops grown in district Charsadda are sugarcane, wheat, tobacco and maize etc. Moreover, different types of vegetables and fruits are also grown in the district. The study is an attempt to analyze the different problems of the farmers of District. The farmer facing the problem of low literacy rate (34%), small land holding (10% farmers have less then 2 acres), weak financial position of the farmers (80%), irrigation water (66%), farm mechaneries (90%), fertilizers (62%), pesticides (62%), un-availability of labour and flood is another alarming situation for the farmers. The book in hand furnishes base line information about the farmer's problem for educationist, planer and all allied stalk holders. Therefore, it should be in every library around the country.

Intercropping is experienced by preponderance of farmers in many regions of the world. Intercropping has since long been used as mean to cover the risk of failure of base crop and it can pilot to boost food supply without retreating the sustainability of soil. This system of cropping suppresses weeds, reduces pest disease infestation, gives yield advantage and there is stable yield over time. Crop fertilizer needs can be met with the addition of an organic fertilizer, which is suitable for enhancing crop yields on sustained basis and cost effective too. The use of legumes as an intercrop can serve a potential source of organic fertilizer. It can be used as a supplement source of nutrition especially that of nitrogen. It is an economical way of food production as one input such as N from legume can be applied once and used by all the crop components in the farm thereby saving time for the farmer. Thus present project will be helpful to farmers in order to augment the crop yield and sustain the soil fertility, identify an effective and low cost fertilizer level technique for maize and substitute N-fertilizer with leguminous crops as an organic source.
