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).

Abstract

Out of three macro nutrients, phosphorus (P) is one of the main nutrients and necessary for plant growth. N2 fixing bacteria are microorganisms capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen. The presented research was conducted to estimate the effect of phosphorus levels and nitrogen fixing bacteria on the vigor and viability of harvested barley seeds at Agronomy Research Laboratory, The University of Agriculture Peshawar during Rabi season 2021-2022.   The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design having four replications. The experiment is consisted of two-factors in which one factor was nitrogen fixing bacteria (with and without) and the other was phosphorus levels (40, 60 and 80 kg ha-1) with control. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all parameters and interaction. Based on experimental results phosphorus applied at the rate of 80 kg ha-1 significantly increased germination (86.25 %), germination rate (6.16), seedling length (21.82 cm) and root fresh weight (0.04 g). The application of nitrogen fixing bacteria shows positive response in all the parameters. N2 fixing bacteria significantly increased germination (86.50 %), germination rate (6.17), seedling length (20.60 cm) and root fresh weight (0.04 g). Interaction between phosphorus level and nitrogen fixing bacteria was found significant for seedling length and shoot fresh weight. It was concluded that phosphorus applied at the rate of 80 kg ha-1 with nitrogen fixing bacteria is recommended for increasing vigor and viability of harvested barley seeds
