Potato processing industry is rising globally and increasing fast food demand of consumers exerts pressure on researchers to identify suitable potato cultivars for processing into chips and fries. Low sugar contents and light frying color are the principal traits to be observed for good chipping performance of potatoes. In potato industry, determination of sugar contents is particularly important as presence of high levels of sugars causes non enzymatic browning or Maillard reaction after frying of potato chips at high temperature. The current study was designed to screen out and assess the chipping potential of indigenous potato cultivars namely, Lady Rosetta, Santé. Hermes, Crozo, Kuroda and Asterix for sugar accumulation during storage at 3, 7 and 11ºC for 160 days (Phase I). The second phase was aimed to estimate the sugar reversion by applying reconditioning treatment at higher temperatures of 15, 20 and 25ºC for a short period of 30 days. All the physicochemical (specific gravity, dry matter, total starch ascorbic acid, sprouting, weight loss, hardness/firmness,) and biochemical analyses such as sugar contents (glucose, fructose, sucrose) and invertase enzyme activity were carried out at a regular interval of storage days. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was adopted for the quantification of sugars whereas the associated invertase activity appraised by spectrophotometrically. Considering the result of first phase; the correlation matrix for physicochemical and biochemical analyses revealed that specific gravity, dry matter content, percent weight loss and sprouting rate were positively correlated to sugar contents and invertase activity while negatively correlated to total starch, ascorbic acid and tuber’s hardness/firmness. Over the storage, gradual increase in sugar contents was observed during phase I, in which the maximum sugar accumulation was exhibited by tubers stored at 3ºC in contrast to 7 and 11ºC. Cold induced sweetening (CIS) under the influence of invertase activity was recorded highest in cultivar Kuroda, following the Santé, Asterix, Crozo, Hermes and Lady Rosetta. High temperature exposure to the stored tubers or reconditioning treatment for short time (Phase II) resulted in reversion of accumulated sugars to starch. The maximum reversion of sugars was attained at 20ºC as compared to 15 and 25ºC after 30th day of reconditioning. All the cultivars showed significant results for glucose, fructose and sucrose contents after reconditioning treatment such as Lady Rosetta (43.23, 38.33, 49.21 mg/100g), Hermes (48.97, 43.23, 39.23 mg/100g), Crozo (51.94, 46.72, 41.74 mg/100g), Santé (54.41, 51.37, 83.31mg/100g), Asterix (59.53, 62.11, 47.52 mg/100g) and Kuroda (86.93, 81.96, 51.21 mg/100g), respectively. The pattern of chips color was assessed and scored by using nine-point Hedonic scale after both phases. Consequently, significant variability (P < 0.05) in sugar contents and frying color was found among all cultivars, whereas Lady Rosetta with golden yellow chips color, Hermes having slightly yellow color and Crozo with yellow color were the most suitable cultivars for chips preparation after reconditioning. The outcomes of current study indicated that reconditioning at higher temperatures for short time resulted in a strong and diverse effect on starch sugar interconversion during storage. More importantly, these results proposed that reconditioning treatment of stored tubers could reduce CIS depending on the nature and type of the cultivar along with the applied storage conditions.

اسلام اور کلی معاشیات کے منتخب نظریات کا مطالعہ: صرف، بچت، سرمایہ کاری اور حکومتی نگرانی

Macroeconomics relates to economics elements at national level. Islam has conveyed its guidance in this sphere too. It encourages modest life style and thereby reduces expenditure, hence, increased savings. These savings can be utilized for investments to boost economy. Banking play an important role in creating pool of deposits used to finance businesses. Governmental regulatory intervenetions are at times involves controlling prices, preventing hoarding and monitoring adulteration. These issues have been discussed in this article with reference to relevant Islamic Teachings.

Impact of Biochar and Zeolite on Agrophysiology of Wheat Grown under Rainfed Conditions.

Low soil fertility, nutrient leaching and moisture retention are the limiting factors contributing in low crop yield in rainfed area. Application of biochar along with zeolite is an innovating soil amendment towards sustainable agriculture and has numerous beneficial effects on soil quality, carbon sequestration, reducing GHG emission and enhancing crop yield by improving fertilizer and water use efficiency. Series of experimental studies were conducted in year 2013-14 and 2014-15 including pot experiment in glass house at Department of Agronomy (PMAS-AAUR) to determine the effect of treatments on crop physiology, yield and moisture retention. Field experiment was conducted at North Pothwar region of Punjab, Pakistan (Koont Research Farm) to explore the effect of biochar and zeolite on wheat yield and soil properties. A Lab experiment was also carried out at Cranfield University, United Kingdom to determine the emission of different volatile compound from soil with and without application of biochar and zeolite. Experimental soil was amended with Dalbergia sissoo wood biochar (B) and Clino ptilolite zeolite (Z) (sole and combine) treatmets which are listed asB0Z0=control, B3=3 tons/ha, B6=6 tons/ha, B9=biochar (9 tons/ha), Z1=zeolite (1 tons/ha), Z3=zeol ite (3 tons/ha), Z5=zeolite (5 tons/ha), B3Z1=biochar (3 tons/ha) + zeolite (1 tons/ha ), B3Z3=biochar (3tons/ha) + zeolite (3 tons/ha), B3Z5=biochar (3 tons/ha) + zeolite (5 tons/ha), B6Z1=biochar (6 tons/ha) + zeolite (1 tons/ha), B6Z3=biochar (6 tons/ha) + zeolite (3 tons/ha), B6Z5=biochar (6 tons/ha) + zeolite (5 tons/ha), B9Z1=biochar (9 tons/ha) + zeolite (1 tons/ha), B9Z3=biochar (9 tons/ha) + zeolite (3 tons/ha), B9Z5=biochar (9 tons/ha) + zeolite (5 tons/ha). Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety Chakwal-50 was sown on 15th October 2013 and 2014 with seed rate of 130 kg/ha by using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Recommended rate of NPK (150:100:60) fertilizers was used and all other cultural practices were kept normal. Wheat plant growth, yield and soil physicochemical properties were studied. The results of two-year pot experiment showed that maximum increase in plant height (18-23 %), leaf area (48-76 %), biological yield (9-14 %) and grain yield (41-47 %) was recorded in B9Z5 treatment over control. It was found that treatment B9Z5 retained 27-29 % more moisture than control up to 16th days after irrigation. It was observed that chlorophyll content and stomatal conductance was increased by 65-66 % and 100 109 % respectively and proline accumulation was 43-53 % lower in treatment B9Z5 with respect to control. Two-year mean values of R2 calculated by regressional analysis of moisture with chlorophyll content (0.858), stomatal conductance (0.775) and proline accumulation (0.840) verify the positive impact of conserved moisture in treatments on plant physiology. In two-year field experiment maximum increase in plant height (20-23 %), number of tillers (23-48 %), 1000 grain weight (59-73 %), biological yield (21-25 %) and grain yield (41-48 %) was found in treatment B9Z5 as compare to control. Moreover, B9Z5 showed maximum increase (5.0-9.0 %) in grain protein content over control. Biochar and zeolite (sole and combined) application with different doses has increased soil organic matter from 0.41-1.25 % in B9Z5 as compared to control Biochar (9 tons/ha) has increased nitrogen by 1.2-2.6 mg/kg, phosphorous by 2.5-7.8 mg/kg and Potassium by 48 137 mg/kg. Likewise, sole zeolite application (5 tons/ha) has increased nitrogen by 0.9-3.0 mg/kg, phosphorous by 3.0-7.3 mg/kg and potassium by 39-128 mg/kg in two years. Whereas, combine treatment B9Z5 showed maximum increase in nitrogen by 0.6-3.8 mg/kg, phosphorous by 1.5-9.6 mg/kg and potassium by 24 186 mg/kg in both experimental years. Similar results were recorded for soil organic carbon. Biochar (9 tons/ha) and zeolite (5 tons/ha) had reduced bulk density by 0.05 g/cm3 and 0.03 g/cm3 respectively, while maximum reduction of 0.1 g/cm3 was found treatment B9Z5 in two years. Maximum increase in water holding capacity was observed in B9Z5 treatment with 39 % increase as compared to control. Biochar (9 tons/ha) and zeolite (5 tons/ha) had significantly decreased ammonia and methane emission from soil while increase in carbon dioxide was observed in treatment B9Z5 over control. It was found that treatment B9Z5 has significantly decreases ammonia emission by 72 %, methane by 36 % and increase carbon dioxide emission by 70 %. Based on economic analysis, it was calculated that use of biochar at the rate of 9 tons/ha and zeolite at the rate of 5 tons/ha in combination has maximum BCR 3.5 during second year. The combine and sole application of biochar and zeolite had positive effects on soil quality and wheat growth, yield and help in reducing greenhouse gasses emission from soil. Therefore, use of biochar and zeolite as a soil amendment can play a significant role in sustaining the yield of wheat crop in rainfed areas.
