A study was conducted to find out the efficacy of the lures viz methyl eugenol, raspberry essence and GF-120 in baited fruit fly traps at persimmon orchards in Kohat district, KPK. Three treatments: T 1 (Methyl eugenol), T 2 (Raspberry essence) and T 3 (Gf-120) with nine replications treatment -1 were installed. Results revealed highest population density for fruit flies in T 1 (382), following T 3 (197.2) while the least population density was revealed in T 2 (23.6). Population trend over time showed maximum population density for fruit flies at week 1, following week 2, week 4, week 3 and week 5. The number of fruit flies were observed with highest average number of Bactrocera zonata (700) in T 1 (week 1), whereas Bactrocera dorsalis (250) in T 1 (week 1), while the minimum average number of 08 in T 2 (week 5) and 01 in T 2 (week 5) was recorded for B. zonata and B. dorsalis, respectively. Maximum average numbers of males were recorded 950 in T 1 (week 1), whereas the minimum average number of males revealed 09 in T 2 (week 5). Average population density of fruit flies (gender) revealed 200.93 (male) while it revealed 0.0 for females.
The food security is a huge problem with the increase in population of the Pakistan. Maiz (Zea mays) is one of the major cereal crop and has the capability to compete with the production as well as supporting the controlling applications. As, the modern genotypes has the good potential to resist with the potassium (K) application into the field, an experiment was conducted on K levels with 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg ha -1. Maize genotypes viz MM-50, MM-44, ZMS-52, ZMS-51, ZMS-40, ZMS-06, GV-41, Kiramat-2C, 325-PW and Babar-1C were tested into the field. Our results concluded that K levels had a significant effect on grain yield and yield components. Application of K at 60 kg ha -1 showed good yield compared to all other levels of K applications. The tested genotypes also had a significant effect on the tested traits. The genotype (MM-50) showed maximum grains yield (3924 kg ha
