Evaluation of Different Pre and Post - Emergence Herbicides for Silybum Marianum L. Control in Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)
Abstract: Milk thistle (Silybum marianum L.) is an emerging destructive weed of field crops and waste lands in Pakistan. This field experiment was conducted to evaluate different pre- and post-emergence herbicides for Silybum marianum L. control in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Randomized Complete Block design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement having three replications was employed. The application of Bromoxynil+MCPA to wheat crop showed maximum plant height (94.75 cm), number of productive …

Geological Nutrient Sourcing of Potassium and Phosphorus in Agricultural Crops
Abstract: Potassium and phosphorus can be considered as important nutrients and are being supplied as ingredients in the fertilizers. In presence of potassium, the crop yields, shelf life, disease resistance and plant growth are improved. The mineral fertilizers have enhanced the crop yields and they are expected to segregate spatially. Due to the utilization of the mineral fertilizers, there was intensification of crops and they have helped humans to consume healthy …

Mass Rearing Techniques of Green Lacewings Chrysoperla carnea Stephens – A Review
Abstract: Chrysoperla carnea is a cosmopolitan polyphagous predator feeding on soft bodies insects like aphids and other phytophagous arthropods. Commercially, it is available as individual stages: egg, larva, pupa, adult and mixed stages. The mass rearing techniques must be developed underlying the criteria of cost-effectiveness and biological efficiency. The mass-rearing of the predator can be done in following steps: rearing the adults of C. carnea, Rearing of Hosts and larval rearing. …
