Eight crosses were attempted among the selected mash genotypes. 100

flowers/cross were attempted. All the crosses were successful and F0 seed of these

successful crosses was harvested for further evaluation.

Eight F1 progenies of mash were sown along with parents. F1 progenies were

sown keeping a plot size according to seed availability. Fertilizer @ 20-50-0 kg of

NPK/ha was applied, to all generations at this time of seedbed preparation. In all

crosses, crossed plants were found and collected the seed for sowing next year as

F2 segregation generations.

In F2 six F2 segregating generations were sown along with their parents. Plot

size was kept according to seed availability. Plant spacing within rows were

maintained at 10 cm and row to row 30 cm. Out of this material, thirty desirable

single plants were selected for sowing of F3 during next year.

Ten single plant progenies of F3 were sown. The size of plot was depending

upon the availability of seed. Out of this material, twenty seven desirable single

plants were selected for sowing as F4 generation.

In case of F4, seven progenies were sown according to availability of their

seed. 36 desirable single plants were selected for sowing as F5 generation next

year.

Seven progenies of F5 were sown according to availability of their seed. Out

of this material, 21 desirable single plants were selected for attaining

homozygosity in F6 generation.

Javed Iqbal, Naveeda Anjum and Dr. Muhammad Tariq

Nursery of thirty five chilli genotypes was sown on 01-02-2011 and

transplanted in field in a 5m long row length, having plant x row spacing of 45 x

60 cm, on 19-04-11 in non replicated fashion. The main objective of this trial was

to characterize the genotypes for various traits and to incorporate the desired

genotypes in crossing programme. The following traits were recorded.

Range

1- Days to flower initiation 30 - 48

2- No. of primary branches 3.8 - 6.4

3- No. of secondary branches 12 - 34.4

4- Plant height 58.6 - 95.2cm

5- Fruit length 4.44 - 12.3cm

6- Yield per plant 85 - 320g

The line High fly initiated flowering 30 days after sowing, while some

genotypes like 1781 initiated flowering after 48 days. The line 16166 was found

to be short stature having height of 58.6.0 cm, followed by line 1788 62cm,

average fruit length of 12.3 cm was observed in H-6 while minimum was

observed in line 1780 i.e, 4.44 cm. China Sweet gave the maximum yield 3200g

followed by the line H-4 which gave 2850g.while the minimum yield recorded in

line Gajah.

2- HYBRIDIZATION OF FIVE CHILLI GENOTYPES

Javed Iqbal, Naveeda Anjum and Dr Muhammad Tariq

Five genotypes were shifted in field 20-04-11 in a 5m row length, having

plant to row spacing of 45 x 60 cm respectively. Ten combinations were

developed among five genotypes. Only one cross was successful, the low success

rate was due to unfavorable climatic conditions, like wind storm and temperature

fluctuations.

3- MAINTENANCE AND EVALUATION OF TINDA GOURD


Eighteen (18) different tinda (Citrulus vulgarus Schar- Var fistulosus)

genotypes were collected from different locations for characterization and

evaluation to include in breeding programme. Due to limited number of seeds,

plant were raised in polythene bags, and shifted in fields on 31-03-11, maintaining

the row length of 5.0m with a row to plant distance of 2m x 60cm respectively.

All the accessions initiated flowering after 60 days, after sowing and fruit colour

was light green. Yield per row was taken in grams. All the genotypes had male to

female flowers in 4:1 ratio, except 019239 which have the ratio of five male

flowers to one female flower.

1. EFFECT OF DIFFERENT AMENDMENTS ON SOIL PHYSICAL AND

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND ON GROUNDNUT CROP YIELD UNDER

RAINFED CONDITIONS

Abdul Rehman Jami and Dr. Rizwan Latif

A field experiment was planned to find out the effects of different

amendments on soil physical and chemical properties and on groundnut crop yield

under rainfed conditions using variety BARI-2000. The study was conducted on a

sandy loam soil deficient in organic matter (0.52 %), available K (110 mg kg-1

),

and moisture (9.2%) with a soil pH of 7.8. A basal dose of 20-80-20 NPK kg ha-1

was applied at sowing time to all the treatments. All the treatments were applied

one month before sowing during land preparation. The crop was sown on april 20,

2011, using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications and a net

60

plot size of 5.0m x 15m. The crop was harvested on October 10, 2011. The pod

yield and other soil parameters were recorded and analyzed statistically.

The data showed significant differences among different treatments

regarding pod yield. The application of different treatments increased the pod

yield significantly as compared to control except gypsum. It increased from 3.6 %

with the application of sulphuric acid and 49.5 % with humic acid when used in

liquid form. The maximum pod yield (1653 kgha-1

) was recorded with humic

acid when used in liquid form and minimum with control (1106 kg ha-1

) where no

amendment was applied.

2. STANDARDIZATION OF FERTILIZER DOSES AND APPLICATION

METHODS FOR MASH UNDER RAINFED CONDITIONS

Dr. Rizwan Latif and Abdul Rehman Jami

A field study was carried out to find out a standard fertilizer dose and

application method for mash crop (Chakwal Mash) under rainfed conditions to

increase fertilizer use efficiency. The study was conducted on a sandy loam soil

low in organic matter (0.52 %), available K (120 mg/kg) with a soil pH of 8.0.

Fertilizer doses and method of application are given in detail in the table below.

The crop was sown on July 12, 2011, using RCB Design with three replications.

The crop was harvested on September 28, 2011. The seed yield was recorded and

analyzed statistically (Table).

Different doses and methods of fertilizer application affected the seed

yield differently. Seed yield increased from 133% to 276% as compared to control

(no fertilizer addition). The maximum seed yield (850 kg/ha) was recorded where

61

recommended dose of fertilizer (20-90-30 kg NPK/ha) was added 2 inches in

between the seed rows but 2" deeper than seeds through seed drill. It was

followed by the treatment where same dose (20-90-30 kg NPK/ha) was added as

broad cast method (714 kg/ha). The results showed that side placement of

fertilizer is more beneficial than broadcast and placement in between the seed

rows but 2" deeper than seeds is better.

Dr. Muhammad Ijaz, Amir Afzal, Madiha Zamurrad

Trial was conducted under field conditions to determine the most effective

fungicide and its dose against Cercospora leaf spot of groundnut during the year

2011 in the experimental area of Barani Agricultural Research Institute, Chakwal.

Yh-14 a highly susceptible groundnut variety was sown in three replications

keeping the plot size 1.35m X 2m. Cercospora leaf spot infected leaves collected

form previous crop were added in soil before sowing of experiment. Fresh

inoculum collected from susceptible genotypes in field was also used for

inoculation. Five fungicides viz. Chlorothalonil, Propineb, Mancozeb,

Tebecanozol+Trifloxystrobin and Triazole were tested. Three doses of each

fungicide i.e. half of recommended dose, recommended dose and recommended

plus half of recommended dose were applied. Disease severity was recorded

according to 1-10 Florida leaf spot scoring scale before each spray and 10days

after last spray.

Yield and yield parameter were recorded at harvesting. All the data

recorded were analyzed statistically to observe the difference among treatments.

Minimum AUDPC was recorded in Tebecanozol+Trifloxystrobin when it was

applied @0.32gL-1

3. SCREENING OF EARLY MATURING PEANUT GENOTYPES AGAINST

EARL LEAF SPOT (Cercospora arachidicola) AND LATE LEAF SPOT

(Cercosporidum personatum) UNDER EARLY AND LATE SOWING TIMES.

Dr. Muhammad Ijaz and Amir Afzal

An experiment was conducted to evaluate groundnut genotypes for early

maturity and leaf spot resistance under early and late sowing times. Experiment

was sown in two sets. First set was sown on 22.4.2011 for early time of sowing

and second on 5.5.2011 for late sowing with a plot size of 1.00mX 0.45m

containing thirty nine test entries. Disease data on disease severity were recorded

according to 1-10 Florida scale at maturity stage. Yield and yield parameters were

recorded at harvesting. Maturity index was calculated for each entry according to

formula described below.

Maturity Index= (MC1*1) + (MC2*2) + (MC3*3) + (MC4*4) + (MC5*5)

Maturity classes (MC) based upon inner hull colour ranging from white to black.

MC1=white, MC2=Yellow, MC3= Light brown, MC4= Dark brown, MC5=

Black. In maturity index, pods in each class were multiplied with its class number

and were summed. The higher values of maturity index reflect earlier maturity.

Minimum severity of C. personatum of 2.0 was recorded in ICG-1707, ICG-799,

ICG-318, ICG-3062, ICGV-02144, ICGV-03169, ICGV-03178, ICGV-03179,

ICGV-03181, ICGV-03184 and ICGV-03196. Among aforesaid genotypes

ICGV-03196 and ICGV-03179 exhibited maximum number of pods, yield

(gm)/plant, maturity index and tolerant response of 3 to C. arachidicola according

to Florida leaf spot scale.

Mean pods, pegs, yield (gm) and maturity index per plant based on five plant

data. Severity of early and late leaf spots based on per plot observations.

1. SCREENING OF WHEAT ADVANCE LINES FOR RESISTANCE TO LEAF

AND STRIPE RUST

Dr .Muhammad Ijaz and Amir Afzal

Seventeen entries received from wheat section were screened for

resistance against leaf and stripe rust (Puccinia recondita & P. striiformis). Trial

was sown on 12.11.2011 with a plot size of 1 X 0.6m2

in RCBD with three

replications. A disease spreader Morocco was sown after each 5th

test entry. Test

entries were inoculated with yellow rust and leaf rust inoculum collected from

NARC, Islamabad. Water was sprayed in experiment to create leaf wetness for

proper rust infection. Disease did not appear due to unexpected variations in

temperature during infection process. There was a rainfall forecast from 18 to 20th

of March, 2012 so inoculation was started at 18th

evening but temperatures shoot

up to 30 OC on 19

th and 20

th March before light shower of 3.60mm. Fast winds of

114 to 184Km/ day on 20th

and 21st March along with high temperatures resulted

in desiccation of inoculum so inoculation process failed to create disease.

Leaf tip necrosis disorder was recorded during December to February

2011, in disease screening nursery. This problem was assessed according to

modified general foliar diseases assessment scale (Scale is stated some where in

text). Yield data were recorded at harvesting. Disease and Yield data are

presented in table.

Maximum disease was recorded in 11C026 and minimum in 11C021.

Minimum yield was recorded in 10C029 and 11C021 while maximum yield data

were recorded in 11C020 and DH31. This shows that tip necrosis disorder does

not cause yield reduction in fields.

3. SCREENING OF WHEAT ADVANCE LINES FOR RESISTANCE TO

KARNAL BUNT (Neovossia indica)

Amir Afzal and Dr Muhammad Ijaz

Seventeen entries received from wheat section were screened for resistance

against Karnal bunt. Trial was sown on 12.11.2011 with a plot size of 1 X 0.6m2

in

RCBD with three replications. Five heads per test entry was inoculated at booting

stage according boot cavity method with Novesia indica inoculum, at concentration

of 5x10 spores/ml collected from Pathology section AARI, Faisalabad. Water was

sprayed in experiment to create wetness for proper infection. Disease incidence and

severity data were recorded after threshing and converted into Coefficient of

infection following (Aujula, 1989) for comparison.

80

11CO21 and 11CO22 exhibited immune response to disease with zero coefficient of

infection. These genotypes will be tested again in next year for confirmation of

results.

5. DETERMINATION OF THE MOST SUITABLE TIME OF YEAR TO

CONROL OLIVE LEAF SPOT (Spilocaea oleaginea) DISEASE BY

FUNGICIDE APPLICATION


Trial was conducted under field conditions on already diseased plants of

Manzanilla variety at BARI Chakwal in Split Plot layout. Treatments viz,

Season=1 (At coincidence of minimum temperature 16OC with Relative humidity

<90% at start of autumn, Season =2 (Before initiation of spring growth in

month of February) and Season=3 (Just after 2-4 young leaves of the new growth

were apparent) were kept in main plots and application of fungicide (Nativo) and

no fungicide application (control) in subplots. Experiment was conducted in 3

replications where one diseased plant represented one replication.

10 shoots were tagged on each tree in winter. For season one, ten terminal

leaves in each shoot, free from infection were left and all older leaves were

removed and disease infection was assessed at the initiation of summer and

expressed as percent leaf area diseases. For season 2 and 3 spring infection will be

assessed in the start of winter. A total of 100 leaves per tree from the preceeding

spring growth will be dipped for 1-2 minutes in a 5% NaOH solution at 50-60oC.

82

Dark spots indicate infection of Spilocaea oleaginea .and number of infected

leaves will be counted.

7. INTRODUCTION AND ACCLIMATIZATION OF OLIVE VARIETIES

Muhammad Azhar Iqbal, Muhammad Ishfaq and Dr. Muhammad Tariq

The olive germplasm unit was extended by 6 (Six) more varieties Out of

52 varieties plants 24 varieties attained were reached at their maturity stage and

bore the fruit.The data from fourteen varieties were collected for their adaptability

study. Data on fruit yield/plant is given below:

25.0 12 Gemlik 7.92

6 Frantoio 14.8 13 Hamdi 5.18

7 Pendolino 11.6 14 Nabali 6.2

The varieties showed different behavior towards fruit yield due to alternate

bearing habit. The Variety Ottobarattica (25 kg) depicted the best result with

respect to fruit yield/plant followed by Leccino (21) and Frantoio (14.8) while

Azerbijan gave the lowest yield of 3.1 kg/plant.

The main reason for low yield on promising varieties is that the huge

numbers of cuttings were collected from those plants for production of true to

type disease free olive nursery. So a sharp decline in the yield was observed.

8. EVALUATION OF OLIVE VARIETIES

Muhammad Azhar Iqbal, Muhammad Aftab and Muhammad Ishfaq

The plantation was carried out in different times. Some varieties were

planted in 1991 and the others were planted in 2004. Data regarding growth

behavior were recorded during December 2011 and are given below.
