It publishes original research papers reporting experimental and theoretical contributions to field-based agronomy and crop science. The journal will consider research at the field level for Agricultural, Horticultural and Biological Sciences, that uses comprehensive and explanatory approaches.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The Journal covers the following topics:</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Agriculture Science:</strong> Crop physiology, crop production and management including irrigation, fertilization and soil management, agroclimatology and modelling, plant-soil relationships, crop quality and post-harvest physiology, farming and cropping systems, agroecosystems and the environment, crop-weed interactions and management, organic farming, horticultural crops.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Entomology:</strong> Parasitoids, predators, and pathogens and their use through importation, augmentation, and/or habitat management strategies</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Plant Pathology:</strong> Antagonism, competition, cross-protection, hyper-parasitism, hypovirulence, and soil suppressiveness through naturally occurring and introduced agents</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Nematology:</strong> Predators, parasitoids, and pathogens in biological control through augmentation and/or habitat management strategies and suppressive soils through naturally occurring and introduced agents</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Weed Science:</strong> Vertebrates, invertebrates, and pathogens and their use through classical, augmentative, or bioherbicidal tactics.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Molecular Technology:</strong> Advances in the understanding of biological control agents and their mechanisms.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">In determining the suitability of submitted articles for publication, particular scrutiny is placed on the degree of novelty and significance of the research and the extent to which it adds to existing knowledge in agronomy.</p> https://aalsj.com/index.php/aalsj/article/view/12 2026-01-22T12:51:39+00:00 Islam Nabi Islam nabiislam05@gmail.com

<p>The use of Sulphur (S) is known to have a significant effect on the growth and yield components of Sunflower (‘Helianthus annuus’ L.). From March to May, the Kharif season from 2022 was conducted at Amir Muhammad Khan Campus, The University of Agriculture, Peshawar in order to analyses S’s effects on sunflower with varying levels of Sulphur 0, 10, 20, 30 kg ha⁻¹. A randomized complete block design was followed with three replicates of sunflower crops across the region. Results showcased the best growth parameters with 30kg S ha⁻¹, early emergence on day 10 and oil content of 45.38%, seed weight oil content of 60.39g, plant height of 156.66cm. Furthermore, all 30 ha were the optimal yielding conditions with Michigan S K Port received values of grain yield and biological yield peaking at 1076 alongside 4310 Kg ha⁻¹ becoming the new regional record. Overall, S was showcased with the fullest potential regarding the sunflower yield, with 30 kg S has recommended for the Mardan region.</p>
