Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Adami Tulu Agricultural Research Center (ATARC), Dugda and Lume districts with the objective to evaluate adaptability, agronomic performance, yield and quality of six oat varieties (Bonsa, Bate, CI-8251, Bona-bas, Jasari and Cl-8237) under rain fed condition for two consecutive years from 2020-2021. In this experiment, oats varieties were planted in 18 experimental plots of each size with 3m*3m were arranged in six treatments with three replications by Factorial arrangement Randomized in Complete Block Design. Combined mean value of plant height, total forage biomass yield and seed yields were showed that there was significance (P<0.001) variation among varieties and sites. The highest mean value of plant height was recorded from Bate (122.34cm) and the lowest was from CI-8251 (90.96cm). The maximum plant height was obtained at ATARC (120.61cm) and the minimum was at Lume site (92.09cm). The highest mean value of total biomass yield was obtained from Bate (13.03 t/ha) and the lowest yield was from Bonabas (8.87 t/ha). The maximum total forage biomass yield was produced at ATARC (13.53 t/ha) followed by Dugda site (11.59 t/ha) and the minimum was at Lume (6.73 t/ha). The maximum seed yield (21.95 quant/ha) was produced by Bonsa and the second and third was from CI-8251 (20.8 quant/ha) and Bate (20.07 quant/ha). The lowest seed yield was recorded from CI-8237 (17.72 quant/ha). The maximum seed yield was produced at Lume (21.88 quant/ha) site. The lowest seed yield value was produced at ATARC site followed by Dugda, this value was due to the occurrence of lodge at both sites after attained 50% of flowering. Late and early maturity varieties at 50% flowering were CI-8237 (80 days) and Bonabas (69 days), respectively. The maximum days to attained 50% of flowering was observed at Dugda followed by ATARC site, whereas the minimum was recorded at Lume site. Ash, ADF and LDF were showed none significance (P>0.05) difference except CP contents. Bate and Bonsa varieties were well performed in total forage biomass yield, seed yield and nutritive quality. Bonabas was better in early maturity to attained 50% of flowering in moisture stress area. Therefore, Bate, Bonsa and Bonabas oats varieties were recommended for the end users of the study area and for similar agro ecology.

Abstract: Farmyard Manure play an important role for healthy growth and flower production of ornamental and seasonal flowers. Hence, FYM with all essential nutrients and good water holding capacity for better growth and flowering of landscape plants need to be evaluated properly. The pots experiment was performed during winter 2022-23 to observe the growth and flowering response of marigold to Farmyard manure. The trail was layout in Completely Randomized Design-Factorial with three replications the trail was layout at The SAU Nursery, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. The plants of about one month old of two marigold varieties (African yellow & African orange) was transplanted in earthen pots farmyard manure in (1:1) was used. Canal Silt and Farmyard Manure used as treatment. The results revealed that the marigold varieties and farmyard manure material had a significant (P<0.05) influence on all of the examined parameters in this study. Most of the marigold's growth and flowering characteristics were observed the canal silt + farmyard manure (1:1) with African yellow variety performed better result in all parameters. producing the highest plant height (21.82cm), flower diameter (5.45 cm), flower weight (9.33g), width of leaves (0.40cm), plant spreading (14.43cm) number of leaves plant-1 (205.66), number of flowers plant-1 (16.83) length of leaves (2.51cm), number of branches plant-1 (20.49) was record in African yellow variety. whereas African Orange variety performed poor result in all parameters. Whereas the canal silt + farmyard manure (1:1) performed good result producing the highest plant height (21.24cm), flower diameter (5.56 cm), flower weight (12.23g), width of leaves (0.38cm), plant spreading (21.19cm) number of leaves plant-1 (240.83), number of flowers plant-1 (23.16) length of leaves (2.66 cm), number of branches plant-1 (25.33) in canal silt performance poor result. Based on findings of the present study it was concluded that the growth and flowering response of marigold was better when it was nourished with canal silt + farmyard manure (1:1). In case on varieties, the performance of African yellow was better in terms of growth-related traits.

Abstract: A well-known herbal remedy for a variety of conditions is withania sominifera. Using a combination of indole butyric acid (IBA) at 1.0 mg/l and indole acetic acid (IAA) at 0.5 mg/L, adventitious roots were successfully initiated from leaf explants of in vitro propagated plantlets in MS medium in the current study. The best conditions for inducing hairy roots were found to be a co-culture period of 24 hours with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. Within 7 days of treatment, hairy roots started to appear. The addition of 50 M acetosyringone and a 1-hour infection time was found to increase the transformation frequency from 72.11 0.5% to 81.22 0.24%. Following a 30-day period of culture, the induced roots were moved to a shake flask system, and the growth index was discovered to be 33.35 for adventitious roots and 37.24 for hairy roots. The induced roots were moved to a shake flask culture system for a 30-day period of culture, and the growth indices for adventitious roots and hairy roots were found to be 33.35 and 37.24, respectively. The roots were extracted after being collected, and they were then screened for phytochemicals using GC-MS, TLC, and HPLC. Alkaloids, flavanoids, tannins, saponins, phenols, glycosides, terpenoids, reducing sugar, and anthraquinones were found in these analyses. The presence of Withaferin A and Withanolide A was confirmed by HPLC of the methanolic extracts of the roots. Withaferin A was present in transformed roots at a concentration of 69.21 g/g dry weight, which was two times greater than that of adventitious root cultures at 32.45 g/g dry weight. This work emphasises the importance of Withania sominifera poshita variety adventitious and hairy root culture, which may be utilised for systematic and reliable metabolite production that can be used for scientific and commercial applications.

Abstract: The experiment was carried out for three year (2019, 2020 and 2021) in the districts of Bako, Uke, and Chawaka with the aim of to determine optimum NPS and nitrogen fertilizers for sesame cultivation. Five level of NPS (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 kg ha-1) and four level of Nitrogen (0, 23, 6 and 69 kg ha-1) were used in the experiment. RCBD with three replicates in factorial arrangement was used. The findings indicate that NPS and nitrogen fertilizers had a significant impact on the primary branch, capsules per plant, and yield. Applying of 100 kg NPS x 23 N kg ha-1 and 100 kg NPS x 46 kg ha-1 N fertilizers produced the maximum grain yields (10.19 quintals and 10.36 quintals ha-1) respectively. Low grain yield (6.89 quintals ha-1) was obtained from 0 kg NPS x 0 kg ha-1 N fertilizers. A partial budget analysis revealed that the highest net benefit (3130ETB) and marginal rate of return (1330%) obtained from 100 kg NPS x 23 kg N per hectare. Therefore for the production of sesame in the study area, it was advised to utilize fertilizer at a rate of 100 kg NPS ha-1 + 23 kg N ha-1.
