Abstract

Humic acid to soil has positive effects on soil properties that result in improved soil fertility and maize yield. Maize growth and yield can also be enhanced by foliar application of salicylic acid. A field experiment was carried out at Agronomy Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar during summer season, 2021 to evaluate the response of maize to humic acid and foliar salicylic acid application. Results revealed that plots treated with humic acid at the rate of 15 kg ha-1 significantly increased plant height (217.8 cm), grains ear-1 (507), thousand grains weight (302.3 g) and grain yield (5309 kg ha-1). Salicylic acid with 750 mg L-1 showed taller plants (221.1 cm), maximum grains ear-1(502), heavier thousand grains weight (299.1 g) and maximum grain yield (5171 kg ha-1) which is statistically similar with the application of salicylic acid foliar spray at the rate of 500 mg L-1. Interaction between humic acid and salicylic acid was found to be non-significant except in case of grains ear-1 and grain yield. It was concluded that humic acid at the rate of 15 kg ha-1 and salicylic acid foliar spray of 750 mg L-1 is recommended for higher grain yield of maize in Peshawar.

Abstract

The rate at which the world's population is expanding necessitates an annual increase in food production in order to feed the expanding population. As a result, during the Rabi season of 2021–2022, a field experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Row-Row spacing was kept at 30 cm. The experimental field was twice ploughed The evaluation was conducted employing eleven parameters, all of which were strongly influenced by different wheat lines. After an examination of the results, it was determined that the most desirable wheat line among the advanced lines in terms of biological and grain yield were AL-32 and AL-60 (8049 and 3610 kg ha-1, respectively), while the best performing line among Chinese hybrid lines in terms of biological and grain yield was 15-CA73 (9094 and 3777 kg ha-1, respectively), while the Khaista variety among local check varieties produced the highest biological and grain yield (5766 and 2277 kg kg ha-1, respectively).
