Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is perennial and endemic to South East Asia. It thrives best in humid climate from sea level to 1,500 m elevation. The crop performs well in a warm with temperature range of 19°C- 28°C and a humidity of 70-90% or more than 1,500 to 3,000mm of rainfall throughout their vegetative growth and rhizomes development. It requires moderate rainfall during their crop cycle from sowing time till the sprouting of rhizomes, fairly heavy and well distributed rain showers during the growing period and dry weather for about a month before harvesting are necessary. However, in Type 1 climate condition, the duration of rainy season is very short that lasted only for three and a half months from June to mid-September which could not sustain the soil moisture throughout the vegetative stage and rhizome formation, hence it requires supplemental irrigation after the end of rainy season to attain optimum growth and yield. The result showed that gingers irrigated from September to December 2020 and September 2020 to January 2021 were both has the most number of tillers with 13.45 tillers, while those irrigated from September to December 2020 were the tallest with 73.33cm. Likewise, those irrigated from September 2020 to January 2021 has the highest yield per hill (207.83 g) and per hectare (13,855kg).

Agriculture in many ways is affected by climate change and has impact for productivity of crops particularly in rainfed areas. Climate change related research remained a poorly investigated area in KP and instant study filled that gap by investigating impacts of change in climate on farm productivity. The secondary data, spread over 30 years from 1984 to 2013 pertaining to temperature, precipitation, area under cultivation and yield of crops was collected. Analytical models used are ARDL Model. The results pertaining to impact of temperature and precipitation on wheat yield suggest long run relationship among the variables. Temperature is positively and significantly related in Mansehra. The precipitation is positively and significantly related. Short run relationship implies that around 100% deviations from long-term equilibrium are adjusted every year in case of Mansehra. The results wheat areas suggest long run relationship among the variables based on F Statistics value. Both temperature and precipitation are positively and significantly related to the area under wheat in the long run in case of Mansehra. Based on objectives of the research study and field findings recommendations offered include; farmers awareness drive, policies to promote adaptation measures, enhancing farmers’ adaptive capacity to strengthen local resilience, participation of farming community in formulation of policies, making meteorological information available to farmers, Design research plans to evolve crops varieties addressing changing climatic challenges, construct water harvesting structures for high efficiency irrigation and further research to estimate range of temperature and precipitation within which crops under study perform better.

To investigate the Maize yield and nutrient concentration in its leaves as affected by biochar from different organic materials (wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse), a field experiment was conducted on maize crop during 2013 at koont research farm chakwal. The treatments were control, wheat straw biochar at 5t ha-1, and 10t ha-1, sugarcane bagasse biochar at 5t ha-1and 10t ha-1. The experiment was conducted in RCBD. Maize was grown in 4m × 6m sized plots. Soil samples were taken before sowing of crop for determination of soil pH, electrical conductivity, total organic carbon and texture.
