Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is an important vegetable crop in) were recorded at the rate of 7.5 t ha -1 of vermicompost application while maximum average leaf width (1.25 cm), clove number (13.57 cm), and bulb dry matter (51.66%) were obtained at maximum rate of 130 kg ha -1 mineral N fertilizer. The results indicated that application of vermicompost at 7.5 t ha -1 and 130 kg Nha -1 mineral fertilizer gave the highest total garlic bulb yield of 12.9 and 12.69 t ha -1 , respectively.

“…The textural class of the soil was sandy clay loam based on the soil textural triangle of the International Society of Soil Science System (Moodie et al, 1954;Rowell, 1994). The pH of the experimental soil was 7.4 which is moderately alkaline on the basis of pH limit (7.4 to 7.8) according to Jones (2003).…”

“…Soil samples were analyzed in triplicate to determine physicochemical properties such as particle size by the hydrometer method (Bouyoucos, 1962) and soil textural class by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) textural triangle, saturation paste pH (pH s ), pH of soil-to-water ratio (pH 1:2 ), saturation paste extract electrical conductivity (EC e ), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), cation exchange capacity (CEC), (US Salinity Lab. Staff, 1954), soil organic matter (Jackson, 1962), lime contents (CaCO 3 ) by the calcimeter method (Moodie et al, 1959), extractable Pb concentration by ammonium-bicarbonate-diethylene-triamine-penta-acetic acid (AB-DTPA) (Soltanpour, 1985) and total Pb by Amacher (1996). The properties of soil used for this experiment are presented in Table 1.…”

AbstractIn arid and semi-arid regions of the world, soil salinity and heavy metal pollution occurring through various natural and anthropogenic means, is becoming major threat to safe crop production. The most feasible and effective approach is screening, breeding and cultivation of food crop varieties with low toxic metal accumulation. A pot study was conducted to investigate the growth and physiological responses of rice exposed to applied lead (Pb) in normal and salt-affected soils comprising four levels of Pb (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg kg -1 soil), two rice varieties (Shaheen basmati and KS-282) and two types of soil as normal and salt-affected soils. Increasing level of Pb decreased plant height, straw and paddy yields, photosynthetic and transpiration rates and stomatal conductance, more under salt-affected conditions. The cv. Shaheen basmati showed better response for growth, yield, physiological attributes and had lower Pb concentration in straw and paddy compared to cv. KS-282, at all levels of applied Pb in both normal and salt-affected soils. Thus, Shaheen basmati was found to be grown for Pb risk-free rice production and can be a good source for future rice breeding programs with the aim to produce low Pb accumulation and salt-tolerant rice varieties.

“…In the natural saline/sodic field, the composite soil samples were collected from the upper 0-30 cm soil depth mixed thoroughly and analyzed for physico-chemical properties (Moodie et al, 1959; (Richards, 1954;Mahmood et al, 2009). After three days, 25 single noded buds of both the sugarcane clones were sown in the plots in each treatment and each treatment was replicated thrice.…”

To cite this paper: Maqbool, N., A. Wahid and S.M.A. Basra, 2016. Varied patterns of sprouting and nutrient status of sugarcane sprouts in simulated and natural saline/sodic soils across two growing seasons. AbstractSalinity/sodicity (EC/SAR) of soil arises due to combination of cations and anions, which disturbs plant metabolism. Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.), ranked as a medium salt-sensitive species, is grown in Spring and Autumn seasons in the subcontinent, with differential growth behaviors in both the seasons. In this study sprouting potential, growth and tissue ionic and nutrient status in natural and simulated soil conditions were determined to compare the effects of two growing seasons and natural and simulated saline/sodic soil using salinity/sodicity tolerant (CPF-246) and sensitive (S-2003-US-778) sugarcane clones. The EC (dS/m)/SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) treatments were 4/26 and 5/30 in the selected natural field and those of 5/25 and 6/30 in the simulated soil. The data were recorded after 30 days of sowing the setts for nodal bud sprouting, length and dry mass of shoot and root, tissue ionic contents for Na , N, P, S and K + /Na + ratio both shoot and root as compared to respective controls although the reduction was greater in shoot than root. Sugarcane growing seasons had differential influence on the salinity/sodicity tolerance, since reduction in the studied parameters was greater in the autumn season. Of the two sugarcane growing media natural field conditions were more adverse than the simulated conditions. A comparison of sugarcane clones revealed that CPF-246 was more tolerant of salinity/sodicity conditions than S-2003-US-778 when grown under of the soil types and seasons. In conclusion, although natural saline/sodic fields were quite more damaging, the salinity/sodicity sensitivity in sugarcane is determined by tissue concentration of macronutrients, and the seasons have great influence on the performance of sugarcane clones.
