“…However, on overall basis it ranged from sandy loam, silt, silt loam to clay and clay loams in all flooded and reference spots under three depths and thus generally it was from light to medium and heavy at some spots. These findings are in line with the research of many other workers in the same areas including Oad et al, (2003) and Ali et al, (2014).…”

In order to visualize the damage caused by 2011 rains and flood in some districts of lower Sindh, Pakistan i.e. Mirpurkhas, Umerkot, Sanghar and Badin, a study was initiated to review the facts regarding the macronutrient status along with necessary physico-chemical soil properties. The seven randomly selected soils were sampled, three samples from each spot were taken at three depths (0-15, 15-30 and 30-45cm). Hence from every location three spots were randomly chosen, as one for relatively non-flooded soils (as a reference index) adjacent to heavily flooded soils for long durations. The analytical data after passing through laboratorial procedures depicted a variety of soil textures (from light to medium and heavy at some locations). Whereas, the pH of these soils was moderate to highly alkaline and electrical conductivity was recorded from 0.11 to 22 dS m -1 . The macronutrients as nitrogen was deficient, phosphorous was also in lower levels (0.1-3.7 mg kg -1 ) but potassium mostly remained in higher fractions (69-259 mg kg -1 ). The results also indicated that soils were found highly saline on many locations that might be due to the salt deposition by stagnant water. While, loss of organic matter were also reported may be because of rapidly flowing flooded water over them.

“…Hence no specific difference caused by flood was pronounced in results for phosphorous content. Many workers have also reported that the soils of this region were also deficient in phosphorous (Oad et al, 2003;Akhter et al, 2010).…”

“…The soil of Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas locations was slightly too moderately alkaline in reaction and moderately calcareous in nature having low organic matter. The content of phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and organic matter (OM) is elevated in the upper soil pro le and decreases linearly as the soil depth increases [34], but the soil was generally adequate in Cu, Fe and Mn. While in the case of Thatta soil, which was heavy to light in texture, moderate saline with highly low calcareous in nature, and low in organic matter.…”

In Asia, Pakistan’s children are more stunted and suffered from malnutrition as compared to other underdeveloped counties. Focusing the importance of wheat and malnutrition issue in Pakistan, a Field and Lab study was undertaken on 60 wheat varieties during 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 to investigate the variability and availability for trace elements such as Zn, Fe, Se, Mn, Cu under three agro-ecological locations. All three locations come under different agro-ecological conditions due to their weather, soil and morphological conditions. According to the result the tested sixty wheat varieties were ranged higher from 30.33mg kg− 1 to 51.96 mg kg− 1grain Fe, from 16.03 to 54.93 mg kg− 1grain Zn, 19.95–45.97 mg kg− 1 grain Mn, 3.16–8.98 mg kg− 1 grain Cu and 46.0-307.42µg kg− 1grains Se concentration at Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas location during both studies years as compared to Thatta location. According to the findings, out of 60 analyzed varieties, 06 showed capability to accumulate maximum concentration of for elements and among all six-supper varieties, variety IV-03 showed superiority over all by producing maximum trace element content not only at Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas but also at Thatta. By adopting such type of varieties in daily diet, Pakistan can overcome health and growth issues.
