Sweet potato flour is good source of carbohydrates less expensive and highly beneficial. The current study was carried out to evaluate the noodles prepared from the supplemented flour of sweet-potato flour with various proportions. Four different treatments were used for this study including T1 100 % wheat flour, T2 90 % wheat flour and 10 % sweet potato flour, T3 80% wheat flour and 20 % sweet potato flour, and T4 70 % wheat flour and 30 % sweet potato flour. The noodles prepared with T1 = (WF 100 % Control) showed 8.42% moisture, 2.36 ash, 11.11% protein, 6.72% fat content, 59.53% starch, 67.41% carbohydrate, 0.68% crude fiber, 0.11% acidity of water, as compared to noodles prepared with (T3 = WF 80+ SPF 20%) results showed that 8.23% moisture, 5.80% ash, 11.99% protein, 7.23% fat content, 61.50% starch, 68.50% carbohydrate and 0.88% crude fiber,  It was concluded that noodles prepared with T1 WF 90% + 10% showed better results in physico-chemical properties of instant noodles. Overall acceptability was given in terms of sensorial parameters due to the good flavor of instant noodles. It was concluded from the study that addition of sweet potato flour improved the visual appearance of noodles from white to creamy, and the texture was found to be softer, as indicated by sensory analysis of the resulting noodle.","PeriodicalId":197597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research in Plant Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134446771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The smart greenhouse house monitoring system not only helpful in exploiting the production but also helpful to bridge up the quality of the produce. The current study was designed to explore the potential use of a smart greenhouse monitoring system using Raspberry-Pi microcontroller. The aim of the study was to create a smart automation system to control the microclimate of greenhouse. Two varieties of tomato (Roma and cherry tomato) were used both in smart greenhouse system as well as in conventional greenhouse system to compare the agronomic and quality parameters. Temperature and humidity were set according to the production technology of tomato using automation system. Proper fertilization and irrigation requirements were considered equal in all aspects in smart greenhouse and conventional greenhouse. The smart greenhouse monitoring system worked better in maintaining the microclimate inside the greenhouse with a difference of about 5-6 ℃ temperature and 20-30% humidity higher than the conventional greenhouse. The results predicted a progressive increase in agronomic parameter with a difference of 10-15% in plant height, number of leaves, number of fruits and weight of fruit as compared with growth parameters in conventional greenhouse. Similarly the quality parameters were effective with maximum size of fruit in Roma variety that was 75 mm as compared to fruit size 65 mm in conventional farming. The over average yield of tomato per plant (5.5 kg/plant) was also recorded in smart greenhouse that was significantly increased as compared with conventional greenhouse. The results predicted that the yield of tomato was positively affected using smart greenhouse monitoring system and consequently, the smart technologies could be used for the potential crop production and monitoring of cultivation activities.","PeriodicalId":197597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research in Plant Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124598232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a dire need for the advancement of wheat cultivars that are producing high yield. The experiment was conducted to characterize the spike related traits of wheat genotypes. Twenty wheat genotypes comprising three replications were experimented using randomized complete block design. The difference was significant among the studied twenty genotypes revealed by analysis of variance. Correlation Pearson’s revealed that the number of grains per spike (GPS) has positive relationship among all the studied traits such as the number of tillers per plant (NTP), spike weight (SWT), spike length (SL), and grain yield per plant (GYP). The GYP has a strong positive association with GPS (0.81**), GYS (0.78**), and SL (0.68**). The biological yield had a non-significant association with GYS (0.28) and GPS (0.13). All studied attributes have variations in the mean values which were represented by Radar analysis. The genotype Sadiq-21 was the best performing genotype among the SWT, GYS and BY followed by genotype Nawab-21 which performed best among the NTP, GYS and GPS and genotype Ghazi-19 which performed good among BY, SWT and GPS. The genotypes that were among the worst performing were Suren-10, Galaxy-13 and Borluag-16. The result of our study showed grain yield was mainly affected by NTP, GYS and GPS. For the improvement of wheat yield, these attributes must be improved for selection so that the yield of the wheat can be increased because these have a strong association with the grain yield.","PeriodicalId":197597,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research in Plant Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125923740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A field experiment was conducted at Naseerabad (Baluchistan) to assess the effect of (bio-fertilizer, inorganic fertilizers including Zn plus Boric Acid) on wheat crop production and nutrient use efficiency under irrigated conditions. A randomized complete block design was used to arrange the treatments (RCBD).
