Abstract

An experiment was conducted to know the “Effect of boron on growth and seed yield of pea cultivars” under the agro climatic conditions of Palosi Peshawar at the Horticulture Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during 2022. Experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement and replicated three times. The experiment consisted of two factors: First factor was different levels of boron, control, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.0 %, and boron were added to the main plot, while the other was the pea cultivars Climax, Leena Pak, and Meteor, which were planted in the sub-plot. Different pea cultivars and the foliar application of boron both have a significant impact on pea growth, yield, and seed production. The number of primary branches per plant (13.1), the number of leaves per plant (120.8), the height of the plant (103.5 cm), number of pods per plant (16.6), the length of pod (11.1 cm), the diameter of pod (13.8 mm), number of seeds per pod (10.3), seed yield per plant (160.5), root fresh weight (4.6 g) and the total yield per hectare were all significantly increased by foliar spray of boron. According to the research, foliar application of boron should be applied at a rate of 0.75 % for better growth and production. Pea cultivar Climax should be grown under the agro climatic conditions Peshawar. Keywords: Boron, growth and seed yield, pea cultivars.

Abstract

Grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) is amongst the well-known fruits around the world. They are not only admire due to nutraceutical and extraordinary  properties but also for the multiple uses, viz, wines, juices, raisins and fresh consumption, along with side uses as in medicines and molasses etc. The modern world is facing problems of climate change, water shortage, land limitations and multiple fold increase in population. In order to meet the needs of the ever-increasing human population, intensive cultivation with limited resources is vital. Greenhouse cultivation is one of the best options for production of delicate fruits like grapes, having specific environmental requirements for giving bumper commercial crop. Precision viticulture, adopted under greenhouse conditions helps in improving the quality and quantity of produce, without compromising environmental and economic aspects. Smart choice of rootstock, efficient irrigation method, justified pruning and training of vines, timely application of just the right amount of nutrients, proper management of growth media, temperature and humidity control according to the needs of the particular growth stages of plant and controlled pollination can make possible the availability of out of season crop. This system also provides opportunities for agrotourism and a more controlled environment for future research. Installment of greenhouse demands a lot of investment both in terms of money and expertise but once established, the returns are multiple fold compared to the early investment.
