“…The contribution of wheat to the world diet in the form of higher number of calories and protein makes it a more secure diet to human population (Abd-El-Haleem et al, 2009). Increase in the number of people using wheat as staple food has increased its area under cultivation, but average yield is still lower than the potential of wheat cultivars due to many factors including late sowing (Sattar et al, 2010;Hussain et al, 2012 a,b), poor irrigation facilities (Kibe et al, 2006;Rehim et al, 2012) and un-availability of nutrients like nitrogen (Rehman et al, 2014) and phosphorous (P) (Richardson et al, 2009;Rehim et al, 2012;. Phosphorus, a major among plant essential nutrients, is applied to soil as synthetic fertilizer produced from the mining of rock phosphate and chemical processing (Richardson et al, 2009).…”

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) associate with roots of plants and improve plant growth by utilizing diverse mechanisms like nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization and phytohormone production. Current study was conducted to isolate, characterize, and identify the wheat associated PGPR and investigate the inoculation effect of selected strains for growth promotion of wheat in combination with different levels of chemical fertilizer at two different ecological locations (Multan and Layyah, Pakistan). Among the total 22 bacterial isolates, 11 were positive for acetylene reduction assay (ARA), 9 isolates exhibited P solubilization activity and 19 bacterial isolates produced growth hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in culture medium. From these, two bacterial isolates with maximum potential to fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorous and to produce IAA were identified through 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as Pseudomonas sp. LYT-1 (accession no. KT933231) and Bacillus sp. . Their performance as PGPR along with different levels of nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) chemical fertilizers (0-0, 105-75 and 150-100 NP kg ha -1 ) was evaluated under field conditions at two different locations (Multan and Layyah) in 2014-15. The experiments were laid out in Randomize Complete Block Design (RCBD). Results indicated that bacterial strain Pseudomonas sp. LYT-1 (with maximum in vitro nitrogenase activity), increased the growth parameters like plant height, chlorophyll contents, productive tillers, spike length and straw yield of wheat at both the locations. The inoculation of Bacillus strain MWT-14 (with highest in vitro phosphate solubilization and IAA production) in combination with 0-0, 105-75 and 150-100 kg ha -1 N-P fertilizer improved the 1000-grain weight by 9.8%, 5.4%, 4.6% and 2.1%, 6.6%, 4%, respectively at Multan and Layyah, and grain yield by 16.3%, 12.3%, 4.7% and 17.1%, 14.2%, 8.5%, respectively at Multan and Layyah over their respective non-inoculated control treatments. These results concluded that plant growth promoting strains Pseudomonas sp. LYT-1 and Bacillus sp. MWT-14 enhance the growth, productivity and net returns of wheat when used as bio-inoculant along with 30% reduced of the recommended NP fertilizer dose.

“…Soybean cultivars differ in response to day length regarding the number of days to flower, mature, plant height, seed weight, pod number, branch number, node number, and others (Whigham & Minor, 1978). Late maturing cultivars are more sensitive to photoperiod than early maturing cultivars (Caliskan et al., 2007; Kang et al., 1998; Matsuo et al., 2016; Oplinger & Philbrook, 1992; Rehman et al., 2014; Whigham & Minor, 1978; Zargar et al., 2011).…”

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the four major staple crops and the world's most important vegetable protein source. Very little information is available on the performance, yield, and cultivars of soybean when choosing a cultivar to grow in Pacific Northwest (PNW). Of the oilseed crops, soybean appears to have the best potential to be grown at a profit (high yields) in PNW when considering the high input costs for irrigated crops. The present study was conducted to determine if terminal bud clipping would increase yields of soybean cultivars under irrigated conditions in 2‐year field experiments. Five soybean cultivars were planted in four‐row plots with rows 0.13 m apart. Plots were replicated four times with two treatments (early clipping and late clipping) and control in a randomized complete block design. Data regarding yield and growth traits were recorded using standard procedure. Soybean yield was significantly influenced by the year of production and terminal bud clipping, whereas cultivars showed no effect. Early and late clipping resulted in a 15% and 18% increase in yields in 2018, whereas late clipping resulted in a 16% yield increase in 2019 compared to control. Terminal bud clipping resulted in shorter plants and reduced lowest pod height, lodging, and maturity compared with the control. Lodging and maturity decreased with late‐maturing cultivars. Finally, results suggest that terminal bud clipping increases soybean yields. Early maturing cultivars (maturity group 0.4) are unsuitable for PNW due to the lowest pod height.

“…It also proposed that crop gave higher plant height (273.72 cm) with applying of 175 kg potash ha -1 . Rehman et al (2014) proposed that applying of various levels of potash fertiliser significantly affects the growth and yield of maize crops. Ibni et al (2015) exposed that due to drought stress conditions, maize plant improvement and yield also increased with the application of potassium fertilizer and also proposed that the water scarcity of maize be reduced by the application of potassium fertilizer.…”

Maize (Zea mays L.),the most important and multipurpose crops, different environmental condition is suitable for maize crop growing ,and has miscellaneous uses as animal feed and human food. Maize not only provided energy but also provided protein, crude protein, crude fibre, etc. All macro and micro nutrients affect different growth stages of fodder maize crops. Different doses of different nutrients affect differently over the plant enhancement and yield into fodder maize crops. Green fodder plays an important role as a feed o animal husbandry. Nutritious fodders are directly and primarily involved in the growth and production of the dairy department. As a nutritious and non-leguminous feed, fodder maize is the more significant green fodder. The growing time of maize is quick, with high dry matter accumulating, power and is a highly dainty fodder crop. Fodder maize holds adequate quantities of protein, minerals and annexes high digestibility as compared to legume and non-legume fodder crops. Fodder maize is use as silage for preservation due to the presence of high availability of soluble sugars in the early green stage. So, adopt proper macro and micronutrients with the proper dose which help the crop grow quickly and produce good quality fodder crops for animals.
