A field experiment was conducted at the agronomic research area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, in order to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen and magnesium on growth, yield and quality of hybrid maize (Cargil 707). The crop was sown in 70 cm spaced rows, while plant to plant distance was maintained at 15 cm with the help of the Dibbler. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replication using a net plot size of 3.5 x 7.5 m. Experimental treatments comprised of (T0); 0-0, (T1); 100 kg N + 10 kg Mg, (T2); 100 kg N + 15 kg Mg, (T3); 150 kg N + 10 kg Mg, (T4); 150 kg N + 15 kg Mg, (T5); 200 kg N + 10 kg Mg, (T6); 200 kg N + 15 kg Mg per hectare. The source of N and Mg was urea and MgCl2 , respectively. Recommended doses of P2O5 and K2 O at the rate of 100 kg per hector of each in the form DAP and KCl, respectively were used as a basal dose. The crop was planted on autumn & harvested in the month of December and the data was recorded by using the standard procedures.

The present investigations were made effect the effect of NPK application in different proportions on the growth and yield of two maize varieties (Zea Mays L.). The research was conducted on a sandy loam soil at the Agronomic Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (factorial) with a net plot size of 3X5m. Different levels of NPK were 0-0-0 (F0), 100-50-35 (F1), 175-80-60 (F2), and 250- 110-85 (F3) kg per ha. Two maize varieties, Golden (V1) and Sultan (V2) were used as source of trial. The crop was sown on well prepared seed bed keeping R X R distance 60 cm and P X P distance at 23 cm. The whole of the phosphorus and potash along with half of nitrogen fertilizers in form of DAP, Sulphate of potash and Urea respectively, were applied at sowing and the remaining amount of nitrogen fertilizer was applied at tasseling stage of the plant. All other cultural practices were kept normal and uniform in all the treatments. The data on desired parameters were collected by using standard procedures.

Cancer is a group of diseases in which cells grow and divide aggressively without beyond to normal limits, invade and destroy adjacent tissues and spread to other locations in the body. Cancer is usually classified according to the tissue from which the cancerous cells originate. Cancer cells continue to grow and divide so they are different from normal cells. Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but risk for the more common varieties tends to increase with age. Cancer causes about 13% of all deaths. A definitive diagnosis usually requires the histological examination of a tissue biopsy specimen by a pathologist. A tumor marker is a substance found in the blood, urine, or body tissues that can be elevated in cancer, among other tissue types. The objectives of this research project are to preliminary screening of population in order to determine prevalence of cancer by using tumor markers and to diagnose cancer at early stage, when it is most curable.
