Here, we isolated and identified P. infestans, as well as, determined the morphological characteristics, on different media. The phenotypic characteristic of the isolates were observed as fluffy cottony growth with striated pattern. The average length of sporangia among the isolates collected during 2017 from po...

Twenty-five sample plots were marked in the study area to collect tree diameter, height and density-related information. Allometric equations were used to estimate total carbon stock from field data. The results depicted that the mean total biomass in the study area was 54.90 (t ha-1) with the above-ground biomass (AGB) 43.60 t/ha and below-ground biomass (BGB) 11.34...

A transect line of 100m length was laid along each treatment and replicated 5 times. On each transect line the infiltration rate (cm/hr) was determined with the help of double ring infiltrometer at mid point. Similarly for soil bulk density and soil moisture contents perc...

For these reasons, Eucalyptus is planted in blocks and linear rows on farmlands, dry areas, marginal lands, as shelter belts and control of waterlogging and salinity in the plains of Pakistan.
At the same time, Eucalyptus is facing many accusations like lowering of water ta...
