TL;DR: In this article, the mineral composition of leaves and pods of Moringa oleifera from different agro climatic regions of Punjab was analyzed using AAS and flame photometer.
Abstract: This study presents the mineral composition of leaves and pods of Moringa oleifera from different agro climatic regions of Punjab. Samples of leaves and pods were wet digested and analyzed for various minerals by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) and flame photometer. The contents K, Ca, Mg, Na in the leaves and pods of Moringa oleifera was found to be 19732-24397, 1839-2097; 18950-26349, 1292-1837; 98.2-109, 93.9-103.9 and 1635-2721, 1032-2105 mg kg 1 respectively. The concentration of Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn was found to be 205-573, 155.2-435.9; 7.3-11.2, 20.9-32.1; 76.9-112.8, 40.2-72 and 20.9-34.1, 15.3-29 mg kg 1 respectively. The level of P in the samples of leaves and pods was 1180-1450 and 1860-2125 mg kg 1 respectively. The contents of different minerals in the leaves and pods of M. oleifera were significantly varied from region to region. The results of present analysis revealed that pods and leaves of M. oleifera indigenous to different agro-climatic regions of Punjab contained a considerably high amount of Ca, Mg, K, Mn, P, Zn, Na, Cu and Fe and might be used as a viable supplement of dietary minerals.

TL;DR: Three mutant strains Basmati 370-32, Jajai 77-30 and Sonahri Sugdasi-6 along with their respective mother varieties were evaluated under different plant population for grain yield and yield contributing parameters to induce vigorous plant growth.
Abstract: Three mutant strains Basmati 370-32, Jajai 77-30 and Sonahri Sugdasi-6 along with their respective mother varieties Basmati 370, Jajai 77, Sonahri Sugdasi and check variety Basmati 385 were evaluated under different plant population (spacings, 20 x 20 cm , 225 x 225 cm and 25 x 25cm between plant and rows) for grain yield and yield contributing parameters An 2 2 2 increase in spacing induced vigorous plant growth as well as increased the number of panicles per hill, grain yield per hill, filled grains per panicle and 1000 grain weight The spacing 225 x 225 cm proved more appropriate because it produced better plant 2 stand, gave more panicle density and higher grain yield than other two spacings The mutant strains Jajai 77-30 produced significantly higher grain yield at all spacings as compared with all other entries
