Emotional Intelligence and gender differences.

Abstract: The present study investigated Emotional Intelligence among male and female. The research sample was comprised of one hundred and sixty subjects (N = 160) who were categorized in two groups.. They were eighty males (n = 80) and eighty females (n = 80) from N.W.F.P. Snowball sampling technique was used to select subjects. Personal information sheet was used to obtain the demographic information. Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i) was used to find out the level of emotional intelligence among the subjects. Gender difference on Emotional Quotient Inventory reveals that Males have high emotional intelligence as compare to females (t=4.522, p<.01).

Growth, yield and nutrient uptake of various wheat cultivars under different fertilizer regimes.

Abstract: Fertilizer use and management is of crucial importance in irrigated production systems of Pakistan to achieve high yield, which leads to an extensive removal of essential nutrients. Three wheat varieties (TD-1, T.J-83 and Mehran-89) were treated with nine levels of fertilizer (0-0-0, 60-60-00, 60-60-30, 120-60-00, 120-60-60, 18060-00, 180-60-90, 240-60-00 and 240-60-120 NPK kg ha) were set in randomized complete block design. Fertilizer application significantly enhanced growth, yield and nutrient uptake traits of wheat. Application of 12060-60 NPK kg ha to TD-1 recorded maximum tillers, spike length, grains spike, biological yield, grain yield, harvest index, dry matter, leaf area index, crop growth rate and NPK uptake. Further increase in NPK rate had a non-significant response on these traits. However, application of 180-60-60 NPK kg ha or higher fertilizer regimes produced tall plants, maximum nodes stem, internode length, grain weight spike, seed index, prolonged maturity days and higher lodging tendency in Mehran-89 and TJ-83.

Effect of different phosphorus levels on the yield and yield components of maize

Abstract: In order to investigate the effect of different phosphorus levels on the yield and yield components of maize, an experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Research Institute, Tarnab (Peshawar) during 2007. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications having a plot size of 5.40 m x 6.7 m with row to row distance of 0.75 m and plant to plant distance of 0.25 m. The levels of phosphorus were 0 (control), 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg per ha. Results indicated that the different levels of phosphorus significantly affected maize plant height, number of cobs per plant, number of grains per cob and grain yield, however the effect was non significant on number of plants m-2, thousand grain weight and biological yield of maize. Application of P at the rate of 100 kg per ha resulted in maximum plant height (158 cm), number of cobs per plant (1.25), number of grain per cob (327), thousand grain weight (241 g), grain yield (2415 kg per ha) and biological yield (7999 kg per ha) as compared to the minimum values in control plots i.e. 145cm, 0.80, 290, 188 g, 1305 kg per ha and 5753 kg per ha, respectively. It is concluded that P should be applied at the rate of 100 kg per ha for best grain yield in the agro-ecological conditions of Peshawar.
