Abstract

This research project was undertaken to study salinity stress changes in the nutritional quality of wheat genotypes. Four wheat genotypes SARC-1, SARC-5, SARC-7, and SARC-8 were grown under nonsaline and saline (7.5 dS/m and 15 dS/m) treatments. Salinity was created artificially by the addition of NaCl in soil before filling in pots. Recommended fertilizers N (120 kg/ha), P (100 kg/ha) and K (60 kg/ha) were used in the form of Urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP) and sulphate of potash (SOP) in both saline and non-saline treatments. The grains of wheat genotypes were evaluated for nutritional quality i.e. chemical composition, mineral contents, wet and dry gluten, gliadin and glutenin, and SDS-sedimentation value. The results showed that growth parameters (biological yield, number of grains, thousand grain weight, grain yield and grain length) were affected significantly by salinity stress. Protein contents were increased with salinity, whereas other parameters (moisture, ash, fat, fiber, glutenin, and SDS-Sedimentation value) were decreased by increasing salinity stress. Similarly, Na content increased while K, Ca, P, Fe, Mg and Zn decreased significantly by increasing salinity stress. Salinity stress affect positively on protein contents in grain of all wheat genotypes. SARC-7 and SARC-5 performed better than SARC-1 and SARC-8.

Abstract

Various types of hot asphalt (mixture of mineral aggregate and bituminous binder–bituminous mixture) are used in the construction of flexible pavements, depending on the project requirements, to ensure optimal use of the asphalt. From all available asphalts, each country uses a combination of those that are considered to be the most appropriate to their climatic and traffic conditions. Asphalts are characterized by the particle size distribution of the aggregate mixture. Theoretically, there are unlimited types of asphalts, namely, from asphalts consisting only of almost single-sized coarse aggregates to mixtures consisting only of fine aggregates (sand). The goal of bitumen laboratory testing is to describe its qualities, determine its appropriateness, and forecast its behaviour over the course of the pavement's service life. All technological, mechanical, rheological, physical, and chemical attributes are included in the term typical properties. The purpose of the report is to collect aggregate samples from Malakand, Dara Adam Khel, Basai, and Karak quarries and to compare its Physical and Mechanical Properties with Margalla aggregate by using the Marshall Method of design for asphalt concrete.
