“…Our results showed that the inhibitory value clearly demonstrated the potential dependency of untreated MCF‐7 cells on monolayer cells with membranes and AgNPs on treated cancer cells show rounding shape. 62 Recent studies found that Parrotiopsis jacquemontiana AgNPs IC 50 value was 91.90 μg/ml. 63 Another set of comparable data was reported for Scindapsus officinalis , which had an IC 50 of 97.72 μg/ml.…”

In the present study, aqueous leaf extract of Strobilanthes cordifolia J.R.I.Wood was combined with silver nitrate to synthesis silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The AgNPs were characterized using visible spectroscopy (UV), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDaX), particle size analysis, and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The UV spectrum absorption peak occurred at 438 nm. The FTIR analysis of the AgNPs indicated the presence of functional groups such as aldehyde, alkenes, and carboxylic acids. The crystalline structure of AgNPs was confirmed by XRD. The AgNPs have a spherical shape according to SEM. The AgNPs components composition was confirmed by EDaX. The particle size distribution of AgNPs is monodispersion in the range at 42.54 nm. TEM demonstrated the AgNPs size to be between 11.35 and 34.90 nm. The AgNPs exhibited good antibacterial property against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The antioxidant activity of the AgNPs was represented by increased DPPH, ABTS, and H 2 O 2 activities.The antidiabetic activity of the AgNPs was indicated by the inhibition of α-amylase and α-glycosidase and antiinflammatory highest albumin denaturation and HRBC membrane stabilization properties. Further, the AgNPs also significantly inhibited the MCF-7 cell lines. These results clearly suggest that the synthesized AgNPs using S. cordifolia leaves could have several potential biomedical applications.

“…Maximum grain yield of 5861 kg ha -1 was recorded in V7 (SB-909) when sown on SD4 (3 July) followed by V1 (CS-220), while minimum grain yield of kg ha -1 was recorded in V8 (AZAM) when sown on SD3 (June 22). Ali et al also found a significant interaction effect of sowing dates and varieties for grain yield [3]. These results are similar to the reports of Hardman et al Namaka et al and Kamara et al who had noted a considerable reduction in yield and yield components when sowing was delayed [18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…It is used for multipurpose for example as a food for humans, feed for animals and as a raw material for industries. In terms of total production and yield per unit area maize is the leading cereal of the world with total production of 695 tons and 4815 kg yield ha -1 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. It is used as a raw material in the starch industry for the preparation of many products.…”

“…For sustainable growth, the most important step is the selection of the best variety for production [9]. Sowing date impact on crop is as much important as that of selection of variety for sustaining productivity under the scenario of climate change mostly high summer temperature effect anthesis in some areas of Pakistan [3]. A particular sowing date is very important for optimum production with respect to regional climate change [18].…”

“…Due to high seasonal temperature effect on seeds, time of pollination, grain filling and moisture fluctuation of field productivity incomes are also changing the productivity of maize crop [10,11]. Soil fertility and water availability should be the prime factors for the farmers locally or non-local [3]. However, planting date response depending on weather variability at a given location, also differ to a great deal among the years and locations etc.…”

Climate change is one of the detrimental factors for plant growth. A change in temperature can lead to a high loss in crop productivity. Keeping the detrimental effect of climate change on plant growth and productivity, research was carried out to mitigate the climate effect on crop productivity. Ten maize hybrids and varieties were selected for the experiment and were sown on five different sowing times. The experimental analysis was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design with split plots arrangement having three replications. Sowing times were allocated to main plots while varieties and hybrids were allotted to the subplots, respectively. The results revealed that different varieties and hybrid shows a different response to variant sowing times. Maximum plant height was recorded by SB-989, maximum biological yield was recorded by Azam variety while maximum grain yield was recorded by SB-909 hybrid maize cultivar. Similarly early sowing time 5 th June showed better results in terms of plant height, grain yield and biological yield. From the results, it was concluded that maize variety showed by sown on 5th June to attain maximum output in terms of yield and yield attributes.

Amid recent climate difficulties, integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) strategies are vital in restoring soil fertility, enhancing yield, and achieving the farmer community’s well-being. This study examines ISFM’s adoption and impact on wheat yields in Punjab, Pakistan, by employing an endogenous switching regression model (ESRM). The selection equation highlights the multiple factors such as age, gender, education, extension access, credit access, and social influence as essential predictors of ISFM adoption. Treatment effects showed that the average wheat yield is higher for adopters. The findings suggest refining the current institutional system will enhance adoption and food security by improving agricultural production.
