“…The role of rice in the future will be more positive and conspicuous only if its quality and quantity is improved. Various techniques are in practice today to increase the yield of crops in response to increased consumption by using presowing seed or postemergence treatment (Perveen et al 2011;Haq et al 2012;Iqbal et al 2012;Jamil et al 2012;Naz et al 2012;Shahzad et al 2012;Shehzad et al 2012aShehzad et al , 2012b). The quality of kernels can further be improved to attract the consumer and meet the international as well as the national requirements for good quality rice (Bhattacharyya and Singh 1992).…”

Field studies in 2010 and 2011 were conducted to evaluate the effect of variable nitrogen rates (0-100 kg N ha -1 ) and culture methods (transplanted and direct) on chlorophyll contents, yield, grain quality, and economics in rice crop (Oryza sativa L. 'Basmati-385'). Transplanted rice gave a significantly higher paddy yield of 19.18% versus direct-seeded crop. Nitrogen application at 100 kg N ha -1 provided a maximum paddy yield (4.39 and 4.67 t ha -1 ) in both years. The rice kernel characteristics were also affected by culture methods and nitrogen levels. In addition, return variable cost in the transplanted rice increased by 22.27% over direct-seeded rice. Regarding quality, the amylose (24.35%) and protein (8.56%) contents were also higher in transplanted rice as compared to direct seeding at 100 kg N ha -1 application. The lowest amylose contents were recorded in N 0 (23.55%) and N 1 (23.69%) treatments, and amylase contents were also found lower in N 0 and N 1 in the direct seeding method. The nitrogen rate and cultures method also affect the chlorophyll contents positively in transplanted plants at higher level of nitrogen. From the results, it is concluded that under the climatic conditions of Faisalabad, Pakistan, higher paddy yield and yield components, as well as greater economic benefits, can be obtained for the transplanted method at 100 kg N ha -1 nitrogen application as compared to the direct seeding method.

“…It is a good source of vitamins A, B, and C and has a high proportion of minerals. In Pakistan, an estimated average cultivated area of this crop is 135600 ha with an average yield of 6.7 t ha -1 (Amjad and Anjum, 2002;Iqbal et al, 2012;Nisar et al, 2008). Agricultural scientists are trying to enhance the agricultural productivity and the main strategies include expansion of agricultural land, increasing the cropped land, and use of pre-sowing and post-emergence treatments.…”

A b s t r a c t. Seed pre-sowing magnetic field treatment was reported to induce biochemical and physiological changes. In the present study, response surface methodology was used for deduction of optimal magnetic field doses. Improved growth and yield responses in the pea cultivar were achieved using a rotatable central composite design and multivariate data analysis. The growth parameters such as root and shoot fresh masses and lengths as well as yield were enhanced at a certain magnetic field level. The chlorophyll contents were also enhanced significantly vs. the control. The low magnetic field strength for longer duration of exposure/high strength for shorter exposure were found to be optimal points for maximum responses in root fresh mass, chlorophyll 'a' contents, and green pod yield/plant, respectively and a similar trend was observed for other measured parameters. The results indicate that the magnetic field pre-sowing seed treatment can be used practically to enhance the growth and yield in pea cultivar and response surface methodology was found an efficient experimental tool for optimization of the treatment level to obtain maximum response of interest.K e y w o r d s: pea, magnetic field, multivariable analysis, photosynthesis, response surface methodology

“…Currently, evaluation of the influence of magnetic treatments are being strongly debated by the scientific community in literature (Florez et al, 2012;Almaghrabi et al, 2012;Afzal et al, 2012;Ijaz 2012;Iqbal et al, 2012;Jamil et al, 2012;Matwiejczuk et al, 2012;Socorro et al, 2012;Pietruszewski et al, 2010;Nimmi et al, 2009). Investigation of the effect of magnetic treatment of water and wheat seed in combination with HUMIN PLUS was carried out by Arkhipov et al (2012).…”

Application of microfertilizer HUMIN PLUS in combination with magnetic treatments of seed and water was evaluated. By using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), several fuzzy inference system (FIS) were built to define the contiguous relationships between the energy of seed germination, different HUMIN PLUS solution concentrations, and magnetic treatment of seeds and water. Results from ANFIS simulations gave reasonable results, offering a feasible alternative to more traditional statistical techniques for evaluation of relations between characteristics of seed germination energy, emulsion of sapropel concentrations, magnetic treatment of seeds and water, and time after sowing.
