“…Rapid and uniform field emergence are two vital rudiments to increase yield, quality and ultimately profits in crops. Uniformity and percentage of seedling emergence of direct-planted crops have a major impact on final yield and quality (Khan et al, 2016). Slow emergence results in smaller plants and weak seedlings, which are more vulnerable to soil-borne diseases.…”

“…In general, mature seeds tend to show a better germination performance at stress temperatures than those of earlier and later harvests, while advancement obtained by priming was greater in earlier harvests (Khan et al, 2016). Several studies on seed germination and emergence revealed the beneficial effects of seed priming by several ways (heat, smoke, soaking, leaching, temperature, scarification and NaCl salinity) (Ahmed et al, 2006).…”

ABSTRACT. The objective of this study was to assess the comparative efficiency of different priming techniques on germination and early seedling growth of maize cultivars. Laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the efficacy of different seed invigoration treatments on seed germination and vigor traits of three maize hybrids, Pioneer 3025, Pioneer 70 and Baber at Agronomy research laboratory, University of Agriculture, Peshawar, Pakistan. The experiment was laid in completely randomized design (CRD) and was replicated thrice.The treatments included control treatment (T 1 ) unsoaked/dry seed, (T 2 ) hydropriming with distilled water for 24 hrs, (T 3 ) halo priming treatments with NaCl (3% solution) for 24 hrs, (T 4 ) osmopriming with PEG-6000 for 24 hrs and (T 5 ), hormonal priming with GA 3 for 24 hrs. The results showed that seed invigoration treatment with gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) PEG-6000 and hydropriming with distilled water for 24 hrs gave higher germination, decreased days to 50% germination, increased shoot length, root length, seedling fresh and dry weight, as compared to halo priming with NaCl and control treatment. It is concluded that seed invigoration with GA 3 , osmopriming with PEG-6000 and hydropriming with distilled water for 24 hrs serve as an appropriate treatment for accelerating the emergence and growth parameters of maize hybrid. Pioneer 3025 showed its superiority over other cultivars in all the studied parameters.

“…They have reported that Canola cultivars positively responded in optimum temperature range to sulphur fertilization in term of seed yield and oil quality. (Barnola et al (1987), Samreen, et al (2016), Anwar et al (2016), Khan et al (2016) and Imran et al (2016) [2,10,11,12,20] concluded that Oscar cultivar increased seed yield 53% as compared to control plots when there were no fluctuation in temperature. Sulphur at the rate of 45 kg ha -1 increased seed yield, biological yield, and quality of rapeseed.…”

Climate change is a gigantic challenge and threat for food security throughout the globe. Climate change induced by human activities either by natural system manipulation like deforestation, urbanization, industrialization, diversion of behavior for comfortable life passing and by more Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emission for calmness in life. On the other hand, with the calmness in life, changed the Earth's atmosphere and produced aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness in the atmosphere. This aerosol caused global warming and effected agricultural productivity at regional level. There may be a vigorous growth of some crops in raised CO2 conditions, but there is a trade-off because as temperature raises seed production may be drop especially of maize and soybean in tropical regions. Shifting, vanishing and endangering of the marginal crops is increasing rapidly which a big challenge and threats towards food security. Average temperature of the Earth, which has been increasing for many years. In this Context present study, was investigated at regional level of district swat to evaluate the impact of changing climate on crop productivity at various location and crop responses to the changing climate. It was concluded and suggested that production of maize, soybean tomato, cucumber, squashes, peas, French bean, canola and pulses are vulnerable to extreme temperature and drought stress. Therefore, climate change is a real fact confronting to agriculture productivity. So proper management with bio char, soil amendments, charcoal and other organic matter will might be promoting root density, and will result in more number of roots having more water and nutrients absorption and will ultimately reduce the impact of changing climate.

“…The global warming caused by climate change is likely to affect crops throughout the life cycle due to increased temperature, moisture stress, heat waves, the possible emergence of new major insect-pests and disease [2,[11][12][13][14]. It has been reported that mungbean has high nutritive value, and due to this, has advantage over the other pulses known as king of the pulse crop.…”

Recent studies have showed that plants and crop responded positively to reginal climate and showed ameliorating effect in term of grain yield, plant height, thousand grain weight, dry matter portioning, biological yield, oil yield, and quality of the crops [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”
