Öğe EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF MOLYBDENUM AND RHIZOBIUM PHASEOLI IN RICE-MUNG BEAN CROPPING SYSTEM(Pakistan Botanical Soc, 2020) Aslam, Zubair; Bashir, Safdar; Ahmed, Niaz; Bellitürk, Korkmaz; Qazi, Muhammad Akram; Ullah, SamiIgnorance of trace elements (iron, cobalt and molybdenum etc.) may result in reduced crop yield. Leguminous crops are very sensitive towards molybdenum (Mo) deficiency, but excessive Mo may also impair the growth, decrease biomass, seed yield and quality of produce. Many scientists had documented information regarding sole inoculation of combined Rhizobium and effects of Mo, however, limited information is available on combined use of Mo and Rhizobium inoculation on mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) productivity. Therefore, current study was conducted for assessing the effects of Rhizobium with Mo supply on yield attributes and N-2-fixation in V radiata. There were 2 levels of Rhizobium inoculations (with and without rhizobia) and 5 levels of Mo (0, 3, 4, 5 and 6 g kg(-1) seed) applied during 2015 and 2016 cropping seasons for cultivation of V radiata. Results showed that at maturity plant height, pod bearing branches/plant, nodules and pods/plant, seeds/pod, pod length, 1000-grain weigh, seed yield and protein were significantly increased 25.4, 80.7, 109.3, 22.3, 49.4, 43.3, 23.6, 96.9 and 18.9 % respectively, where Mo (4 g/kg) + R. phaseoli was applied as compared to control. In conclusion, combined use of Mo and Rhizobium have potential to enhance productivity and quality of mung bean.Öğe EFFECT OF INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON PHYSIOLOGICAL, MORPHOLOGICAL AND YIELD PARAMETERS OF CHILLI (CAPSICUM ANNUM L.)(Pakistan Botanical Soc, 2022) Aslam, Zubair; Ahmad, Ali; Bashir, Safdar; Hussain, Saddam; Bellitürk, Korkmaz; Ahmad, Jam Nazeer; Abbas, TanveerA field trial in tunnel was executed at Student Research Farm, near Vermicompost Center, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during December 2019 to May 2020 to develop nutrient management practices for chilli crop. There were six treatments viz., T-0: Soil test base recommended dose of chemical fertilizer, T-1: 100% cow dung, T-2: 100% cow dung vermicompost, T-3: 100% vermi-tea, T-4: 33% cow dung + 33% vermicompost + 34% vermi-tea, T-5: 25% chemical fertilizers + 25%vermicompost + 25% cow dung + 25% vermi-tea. The concerned trial was carried out with the objective to study various morphological traits (such as plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves plant -1, count of branches plant(-1), number of fruit plant(-1), fruit length, fruit fresh and dry weights), physiological attributes (chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophyll contents (a+b), chlorophyll contents of SPAD value, carotenoids, proteins, ascorbic acid, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance) and yield (yield plant(-1), plot(-1) and hectare(-1) was also calculated) of chilli variety Shandar. The obtained results indicated that treatment T-5 resulted in significantly higher (p<0.05) fruit yield (212.00g/plant, 17kg/plot and 6.20ton/ha) followed by treatment T-0 and T-1 produced significantly less fruit yield (160.0 g/plant, 11. 33 g/plot, 4.66 ton/ha and 148.67 g/plant, 10 kg/plot, and 4.25 ton/ha respectively) compared to all other treatments.Öğe Soil Application of Wheat Straw Vermicompost Enhances Morpho-Physiological Attributes and Antioxidant Defense in Wheat Under Drought Stress(Frontiers Media Sa, 2022) Ahmad, Ali; Aslam, Zubair; Hussain, Saddam; Javed, Talha; Hussain, Sadam; Bashir, Safdar; Hessini, KamelWith the provoked environmental constraints under extreme climatic events, a better understanding of plant responses to these environmental stresses helps in obtaining sustainable productivity. Wheat is a significant cereal crop for the burgeoning population; its yield is significantly limited by too little water in the rhizosphere. The ramifications of water deficiency on the wheat crop can be reduced by the application of vermicompost. With the objective to cope with drought stress, a wire-house experiment was established where seedlings of two cultivars, viz., Faisalabad-08 and Galaxy-13 (drought-tolerant and -sensitive cultivar, respectively) were grown in pots and exposed to mild drought (D1, 45% field capacity) and severe drought stress (D2, 30% field capacity). A control with well-watered condition (70% field capacity) was kept for comparison. Various application rates of wheat straw vermicompost (control (VT0), 4 t ha(-1) (VT1), 6 t ha(-1) (VT2), and 8 t ha(-1) (VT3)), were used in soil-filled pots under drought and control treatments. Our data depicted that compared with control, drought treatments recorded a significant reduction in morpho-physiological and biochemical attributes with maximum reduction under severe drought conditions. Nonetheless, it was observed that soil application of vermicompost, particularly at a high rate, ameliorated the negative effects of drought. Under severe drought conditions, a significant and positive influence on morphological and physiological traits was recorded for VT3 treatment, which increased root and shoot length by 27.55 and 27.85%, root and shoot fresh weight by 26.98 and 28.20%, root and shoot dry weight by 40 and 50.05%, and photosynthesis and transpiration rate by 27.65 and 49.25%, respectively, on average of two cultivars. Similarly, VT3 also significantly ameliorated the adverse effect of drought by enhancing the antioxidant enzyme activities as it increased superoxide dismutase activity by 14.28%, peroxidase by 27.28%, and catalase by 50% compared to the control treatment. Among cultivars, Faisalabad-2008 showed comparatively more resistance against drought stress. The findings of this work revealed that drought drastically reduced the growth and productivity of wheat; however, soil-applied vermicompost positively influenced the performance of wheat cultivars.Öğe Vermicomposting: A sustainable and environment-friendly approach for organic waste management(Apple Academic Press, 2023) Aslam, Zubair; Bashir, Safdar; Belliturk, Korkmaz; Rehman, Sami Ur; Zhang, Lixin; Zaman, Qamar Uz; Ahmad, AliVariations in intensive agricultural management practices, lifestyle, urbanization, and population increase have recently enhanced the synthesis of organic wastes in ecosystem. These organic wastes have a detrimentally negative impact on the ecosystem. The essential nutrients attained from organic wastes, for instance, agriculture, kitchen, and municipal wastes are pivotal part of their management and for reducing declination of the ecosystem. Innovative vermicomposting technology is an encouraging tool for recycling of organic wastes and is an environmentally sustainable technology, ethically acknowledgeable, and financially accessible around the world. Earthworms' species like Eisenia fetida are associated with the synthesis of vermicompost and organic waste recycling technologies. Vermicompost is a procedure to which earthworms are used to transform different plants and animals waste into organic fertilizer for agricultural use. Vermicompost is nutritionally rich with essential amount of both minor and major nutrients such as Zn, Mn, Mg, Ca, B, N, K, P, etc., beneficiary soil-dwelling microbes including (phosphate-solubilizing and nitrogen-fixing bacteria) and growth-regulating hormones, namely, cytokinins, gibberellins and accordingly can be utilized as organic fertilizers for appropriate plant growth. The utilization of vermicompost as an organic fertilizer has completely abandoned the recommendation of chemical fertilizers. Therefore, vermicompost technology is considered as an innovative tool like two birds can be killed by one stone as suitable management of organic waste and at the same time creation of organic fertilizer. The management of waste is undertaken to recycle the organic wastes to diminish the ill effects of wastes on health, environment, and aesthetics. Vermicomposting is verified viable technique aimed at renovating diverse biological waste to valuable bio-fertilizer. The sustainability of agriculture significantly depends on the application of vermicompost. © 2023 by Apple Academic Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
