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

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
Javed Iqbal, Naveeda Anjum and Dr Muhammad Tariq
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.

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

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.

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.

CONROL OLIVE LEAF SPOT (Spilocaea oleaginea) DISEASE BY
FUNGICIDE APPLICATION
Amir Afzal and Dr. Muhammad Ijaz
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.

1. Chickpea Gene pool (Kabuli)
Chickpea gene pool (Kabuli) comprising ninety six entries were sown in
single replicated plot with size 5m X 0.90 m. Field trial was evaluated in search of
sources of resistance to dry rot under natural conditions. Dry rot incidence was
recorded on 26.3.2012 by counting the plants affected by disease and incidence
percentage was calculated. Data and frequency distribution are presented below in
table.
Eleven entries remained free of disease and four entries fell under 30-45%
disease incidence category.

The table shows that T3 produced minimum number of fruits (103) while
there is no significant difference in number of fruits/plant in other treatments.
Fruit weight in T4 is minimum (205g) than T1 (251g), T2 (247g) and T3
(261g).T1 have maximum yield per plant (40.91kg) followed by T2 (37.29kg)
while T3 and T4 produced minimum yield 26.88kg 29.72kg respectively.T3
produced significantly minimum blemished area %age (16.8%) while all other
treatments have no remarkable difference. T4 produced highest blemished area
%age (36.8) followed by T2 (30.4).
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
