Khalid Mahmood [email protected] Acknowledgments Workshop Organizing Committee is thankful to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Rai Niaz Ahmad for his kind support to organize this international training workshop in the university on a very important topic “Sustainable Agriculture Water Management in a Changing Environment - A Special Focus on Olive Tree”. The efforts made by Prof. Mauro Centritto, Director of Trees and Timber Institute - National Research Council Italy and Prof. Antonio Sabbatella, President of Institute of European Studies “Alcide De Gasperi”, Italy to organize this training workshop are greatly acknowledged. Untiring efforts of faculty members and students of the Department of Environmental Sciences to make this event successful are highly appreciated. Financial support to organize this international training workshop was provided by the Higher Education Comission, Islamabad. Financial support provided by Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs-Development Cooperation Project “Training and capacity building in sustainable agricultural water management: Addressing food security and social instability in Pakistan (SAWaM-Pak) is also acknowledged. Dr. Azeem Khalid Organizing Secretary Preface The global environment is changing with increasing temperature and CO2. These are key variables which affect plant growth, development and functions. Moreover, the combination of elevated temperatures and the increased incidence of environmental stresses will probably constitute the greatest risk caused by global climate change to agricultural ecosystems in arid and semiarid areas of the world. Arid and semiarid lands are characterized by low and highly variable rainfall, and inter-annual variability in the total annual precipitation.In addition, the onset of rainy season is unpredictable and the length of the “dry season” varies from year to year. All these factors strongly limit primary productivity. Thus, it is necessary to learn as much details as possible on how agricultural ecosystems are and will be affected by the predicted environmental changes. The ability to capitalise on the beneficial effects of global change, while avoiding or reducing adverse effects, will require a strong predictive capability. Pakistan is one of the countries, which is most vulnerable to climate change and environmental stresses. Therefore,it is an urgent need to adapt and promote techniques that, without requiring large infrastructures and investments, could counteract environmental stresses, water shortage and land degradation, leading to a recovery of crop productivity. Innovative water management techniques that can mitigate the impact of different environmental factors on agricultural production are currently available. It is essential that these systems of water management in agriculture should be sustainable. Olive is the most economically important oil tree crop in temperate areas, with 10.2 million hectares under cultivation (FAO, 2012), and one of the most social and historically important crops in the Mediterranean Basin and ends in Pakistan. Olive has been traditionally a rainfed crop, but there has been a large increase in the amount of irrigation water used in olive farming, promoted by spectacular increases in yield. However, most olive production is located in regions where water is very scarce, even for human use. Therefore, the economy of these regions is calling for a better management policy. Pakistan has an immense potential for olive cultivation. Millions of wild olive plants already exist in various areas of Pakistan because of having most suitable conditions to cultivate finest nest olive varieties. Recent expert survey has identified 890,000 hectares potential suitable area for production. However, the weakness of the education system, as well as training and technology transfer to promote olive production in Pakistan is the main problem that must be addressed. Keeping in view the propect of olive cultivation in Pakistan, an international training workshop was organizedin order to demonstrate and disseminate the state-of-the-art knowledge and results developed bythe interactive research on tree crops, with special focus on olive and water. In addition, innovative management strategies and characterization of olive genetic resources to enhance the conservation and sustainable use and ensure the future of this crop in different climate change scenarios are also discussed in the conference.

R. 2013. Genetic and morphological variation in Iranian olive (Olea europaea L.) germplasm. Crop Breeding Journal 3(2):99-106. Olive cultivars with specific characteristics have been developed thanks to Iran’s particular climatic conditions and long-term olive cultivation. The genetic variation and relationships among 40 olive cultivars, as well as 17 unknown genotypes from the national olive collection orchard at Tarom Research Station, Zanjan, Iran, were evaluated using SSR markers. Using 10 microsatellite primer pairs, 43 polymorphic bands were obtained on 57 olive genotypes. In addition to molecular markers, 14 morphological traits were measured in all olive genotypes. Based on discriminant and cluster analysis, the group of Iranian genotypes showed the greatest genetic distance from Spanish, Greek, Syrian, Italian and French groups. Based on cluster analysis using molecular and morphological data, most of the unknown genotypes showed high genetic similarity with genotypes from Spain and Syria. Despite the high genetic variation among cultivars in each group, geographical origin had significant impact on observed variability using Shannon’s information index and polymorphism information of olive accessions.

  • Vegetation Structure of Olea Ferruginea Royle Forests of Lower Dir District of Pakistan
    Pak. J. Bot., 41(6): 2683-2695, 2009. VEGETATION STRUCTURE OF OLEA FERRUGINEA ROYLE FORESTS OF LOWER DIR DISTRICT OF PAKISTAN MOINUDDIN AHMED, NASRULLAH KHAN, MUHAMMAD WAHAB, SALMA HAMZA, MUHAMMAD FAHEEM SIDDIQUI*, KANWAL NAZIM AND MUHAMMAD UZAIR KHAN Laboratory of Dendrochronology and Plant Ecology, Botany Department, Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi 75300, Pakistan. *Government Degree Science/Commerce College Landhi/Korangi, Karachi 74900. Abstract Thirty stands were sampled in forests dominated by Olea ferruginea during summer in 2008. Phytosociological attributes like relative frequency, density, basal area and absolute values such as density ha-1 and basal area m2 ha-1 of stands and species are presented. Based on importance values and floristic composition following 10 communities were recognized. 1, Olea- Punica community 2, Olea- Ficus community 3, Platanus-Morus communities 4, Olea– Ailanthus community 5, Morus-Celtis community 6, Olea-Acacia community 7, Olea- Morus community 8, Olea- Monotheca community 9, Olea- Quercus community 10, Pure Olea community. Most of these showed similar floristic composition with different quantitative values. Though no significant relation between density/basal area, elevation/density and elevation/basal area was obtained, however trends of these possible relations are described. Structure of Olea ferruginea and associated tree species in each stand is presented. Due to unbalanced forest structure and continuous disturbance, no future trends could be predicted for these forests. Introduction Olea ferruginea, a native broad leaved tree species of sub continent is distributed from 500 to 2000m in sub tropical, dry temperate and moist temperate regions of Pakistan. It was recorded from Afghan border, Western hills of Baluchistan, Dir, Chitral, Salt range, lower hills of Azad Kashmir, Waziristan, Swat and Murree hills (Baquar, 1969; Sheikh, 1993).

I make an energy comparison, study the environmental impacts and determine the economic viability of this transition.
