...l samples collected from walnut trees showed that Abbottabad and Mansehra had both parasitic and saprophytic nematodes whereas Kohistan had only saprophytic nematodes. Helicotylenchus sp. was found in abundance from Abbottabad and Mansehra alongwith other parasitic nematodes including Aphelenchus avenae, Tylenchus species, Pratylenchus species, Psilenchus species, Meloidogyne species and Trichodorus species.

...ecies were recorded from walnut (Juglans regia) trees and Khabbal Grass (Cyanodon dactylon), which highlight their importance. Keeping in view topographic gradients, ecological complex in Pothohar plateau and pest status of curculionid weevils, further surveys are suggested to unveil more important records from the area.

...he protective effects of walnut oil isolated from Juglans sigllata on livers of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) mice were studied. The results showed that serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the ethanol + walnut oil (ETH + WO) and ETH + silymarin positive group (PC) groups significantly decreased, and the lesions of ethanol-induced liver injury were relieved compared with the ethanol (E...

... of damage caused by the walnut borer to walnut trees. The pest caused heavy damage in Sultan Khel valley where tree infestation was 90-100% in Sairai and 80-90% in Kotkai villages. Number of dry branches per tree ranged from 5-15 at Sairai and 5-10 at Kotkai. Similarly 60-70% trees at Sromanzo and 30-50% at Navra of Dir and Barawal were infested by the pest with 10-12 dry branches per tree in the former and 5-8 in the Latt...

...Taking shear strength of walnut wood as a
standard for comparison of bonding strength it was
observed that different commercial adhesives exhibited
highly variable bonding and durability qualities. Rubber
based adhesives exhibited very poor bond strength
whereas, polyvinyl acetate adhesives provided acceptable
bond strength. All adhesives showed loss of strength
with an increase in humidity. The gluibility of woods
also varied in different species test...

Valley, Hazara Division. The results are compared with
reported values of the same species in the literature.
The strength properties of locally available walnut wood
are somewhat better than those reported in India for the
same species and in Canada and West Germany for Juglans
nigra and J. regia respectively. The testing was done in
air-dry condition...

...on on 8 and
20 year old walnut (Juglans regia) plantations in Kaghan
and Azad Kashmir revealed significant difference in
height and diameter growth in the younger crop. Also the
foliar mineral composition of the young stands had
significantly increased, while there was no such
indication for the older plants. Higher dose of the
fertilizers is recommended for future trials.

...Baltistan. The timber of walnut is moderately hard even, grained. Sapwood is greyish- white and heartwood is brown with darker streaks. It is very durable, works well and does not warp or split. It is used for furniture, cabinet making, carving and for gun-stocks. It is found to be the best wood for gun-stocks so there is always a demand for it. The tree is often cultivated for its valuable fruit. Wild trees are lopped for fodder. Spirit is extracted from l...
