Response of wheat to tillage and row spacing in maizewheat cropping system in semi-arid region of Pakistan

Agrociencia (2012)

Ibni Zamir Shahid Azraf-Ul-Haq Ahma Hafiz Muhammad Rashad Javeed

A fi eld study was conducted to determine the effect of tillage and row spacing on growth and yield of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) at Agronomic Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan during winter 2005-2006 and 2006-07. The treatments comprised two tillage practices viz. zero tillage and conventional tillage and four row spacings i.e. 15, 20, 25 and 30 cm. The experimental results revealed that zero tillage signifi cantly enhanced the plant height, tillers m-2, spike length, 1000 kernel weight and yield and yield components of wheat plants as compared to conventional tillage. Sowing of wheat in 15 cm apart rows resulted in signifi cantly higher grain yield due to higher number of tillers. So, zero tillage and narrow row spacing (15 cm) proved to be involved in higher wheat yield for the wheat-maize cropping system in semi-arid region of Pakistan.

Evaluating the efficiency of coarser to finer resolution multispectral satellites in mapping paddy rice fields using GEE implementation

Scientific Reports (2022)

Mirza Waleed Muhammad Mubeen Ashfaq Ahmad Muhammad Habib ur Rahman Asad Amin

Abstract Timely and accurate estimation of rice-growing areas and forecasting of production can provide crucial information for governments, planners, and decision-makers in formulating policies. While there exists studies focusing on paddy rice mapping, only few have compared multi-scale datasets performance in rice classification. Furthermore, rice mapping of large geographical areas with sufficient accuracy for planning purposes has been a challenge in Pakistan, but recent advancements in Google Earth Engine make it possible to analyze spatial and temporal variations within these areas. The study was carried out over southern Punjab (Pakistan)-a region with 380,400 hectares devoted to rice production in year 2020. Previous studies support the individual capabilities of Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for paddy rice classification. However, to our knowledge, no study has compared the efficiencies of these three datasets in rice crop classification. Thus, this study primarily focuses on comparing these satellites’ data by estimating their potential in rice crop classification using accuracy assessment methods and area estimation. The overall accuracies were found to be 96% for Sentinel-2, 91.7% for Landsat-8, and 82.6% for MODIS. The F1-Scores for derived rice class were 83.8%, 75.5%, and 65.5% for Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, and MODIS, respectively. The rice estimated area corresponded relatively well with the crop statistics report provided by the Department of Agriculture, Punjab, with a mean percentage difference of less than 20% for Sentinel-2 and MODIS and 33% for Landsat-8. The outcomes of this study highlight three points; (a) Rice mapping accuracy improves with increase in spatial resolution, (b) Sentinel-2 efficiently differentiated individual farm level paddy fields while Landsat-8 was not able to do so, and lastly (c) Increase in rice cultivated area was observed using satellite images compared to the government provided statistics.

Effect of Date Biochar Pyrolyzed at Different Temperature on Physiochemical Properties of Sandy Soil and Wheat Crop Response

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis (2021)

Hafiz Muhammad Rashad Javeed Mazhar Ali Rafi Qamar Muhammad Shehzad Haseebur Rehman

Date biochar (DB) was obtained by pyrolyzing date residues at four different temperatures (300, 400, 500, and 600°C referred as DB3; DB4; DB5; and DB6). Three experiments were performed: 1) assessment of wheat crop growth 2) water retention in the sandy soil 3) soil physiochemical properties after the application of DB to the soil. Results showed that the low temperature pyrolysis biochar (LTDB; DB3 and DB4) showed that the wheat biomass (by 47 and 29%) and water-holding capacity (by 55% and 32%) was improved when applied along with NPK fertilizer. Moreover, LTDB had positive impacts on soil enzyme activities, i.e., Phosphomonoestrase; Urease; Catalase; Acid Phosphate; Dehydrogenase; and β-glucosidase by 63, 59, 77, 29, 56, and 43%, respectively, over high-temperature DB pyrolysis (HTDB). In the incubation study, LTDB not only improved the physicochemical properties (bulk density, total porosity, pH, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity, organic matter, soil aggregation stability), but also improved the water retention. Additionally, carbon dioxide emission was increased in HTDB and the microbial activities are increased in the LTDB. Overall, LTDB improved the soil fertility and productivity over to HTDB in sandy soil.

Physiological insights into sulfate and selenium interaction to improve drought tolerance in mung bean

Physiology and Molecular Biology of Plants (2021)

Muhammad Aqib Fahim Nawaz Sadia Majeed Abdul Ghaffar Khawaja Shafique Ahmad

The present study involved two pot experiments to investigate the response of mung bean to the individual or combined SO42- and selenate application under drought stress. A marked increment in biomass and NPK accumulation was recorded in mung bean seedlings fertilized with various SO42- sources, except for CuSO4. Compared to other SO42- fertilizers, ZnSO4 application resulted in the highest increase in growth attributes and shoot nutrient content. Further, the combined S and Se application (S + Se) significantly enhanced relative water content (16%), SPAD value (72%), photosynthetic rate (80%) and activities of catalase (79%), guaiacol peroxidase (53%) and superoxide dismutase (58%) in the leaves of water-stressed mung bean plants. Consequently, the grain yield of mung bean was markedly increased by 105% under water stress conditions. Furthermore, S + Se application considerably increased the concentrations of P (47%), K (75%), S (80%), Zn (160%), and Fe (15%) in mung bean seeds under drought stress conditions. These findings indicate that S + Se application potentially increases the nutritional quality of grain legumes by stimulating photosynthetic apparatus and antioxidative machinery under water deficit conditions. Our results could provide the basis for further experiments on cross-talk between S and Se regulatory pathways to improve the nutritional quality of food crops.The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-021-00992-6.

-1 ) on the phenology of maize in Faisalabad, Pakistan. Days to tasseling, days to silking, tassel length and ear height were measured at the physiological maturity while days to full maturity and harvest index were measured at crop harvest during both years of study. Significantly more number of days to tasseling (52.2 and 56.2) and silking (54.6 and 56.6), more days to maturity (112.5 and 118) and greater tassel length (47.7 and 51.2 cm) were measured in the zero tillage sown crop than the other tillage practices during 2010 and 2011, respectively. More ear height position on the maize stem (85.5 and 105.5 cm), grain yield (7.9 and 9.2 tons ha -1 ) and maximum harvest index (46.5 and 48.3 %) were recorded in the deep tillage practice during the both years of study. Increasing poultry manure rate to the maize crop significantly increased the number of days to tasseling, days to silking and maturity, tassel length, ear height, grain yield and harvest index. This study results indicate that the tillage practices along with poultry manure application can help in achieving the full yield potential of a maize crop.

Interpretation of Coronary Artery Disease through Environmental/Genetic Risk Factors and Contributing Genes: A Comprehensive Review

Archives of Medicine (2020)

Najma Qammar Maryam Zain Hafiz Muhammad Rashad Javeed

Coronary artery disease is considered as major cause of death all over the world. Although it is associated with traditional risk factors like age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, such phenotypes also have strong association with genetic background. Here we reviewed the available data concerned to CAD traditional as well as genetic markers along with contributing genes and their interactions with environment. CAD as a polygenic disease possess about 50%-60% heritability causing difficulty in understanding its genetic architecture. Besides, complicated pathophysiological processes including both genetic and environmental interactions may increase or decrease the CAD risk depending upon the expression of concerned genes. In future, adequate genetic markers may be identified presenting risk profile to prevent CAD.

Foliar humic acid and salicylic acid application stimulates physiological responses and antioxidant systems to improve maize yield under water limitations

JSFA reports (2023)

Adnan Altaf Fahim Nawaz Sadia Majeed Muhammad Ahsan Khawaja Shafique Ahmad

Abstract Background Humic acid (HA) is an organic acid that is naturally present in soil organic matter and improves nutrient availability and the mechanisms involved in plant growth and development. Likewise, salicylic acid (SA) is an important plant hormone involved in the regulation of plant growth and development. A pot experiment was carried out to determine the effects of individual or combined HA and SA application on growth and yield of maize ( Zea mays L.) under drought stress conditions. Two maize hybrids, namely, 30T60 (drought tolerant) and 75S75 (drought sensitive), were grown in semi‐controlled conditions and foliar applied with SA (1 mM), HA (100 mg L −1 ) and their combination (HA + SA). The plants were exposed to drought stress at the tasseling stage (R1, 60 days after sowing) for 2 weeks, while control plants were given normal irrigation. Results The results showed that HA and SA applications significantly enhanced the gas exchange characteristics (photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and stomatal conductance), and antioxidant activity (catalase, guaiacol peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase) of water stressed maize plants. Foliar SA spray significantly increased the photosynthetic efficiency and activity of enzymatic antioxidants closely followed by HA + SA application that ultimately improved the yield and net benefit cost ratio of maize under water deficit conditions. Conclusion Our findings suggest that foliar spraying of SA at the initiation of the reproductive stage is a cost‐effective strategy to obtain a high maize yield under limited water conditions.
