The data indicated that TSS (6.90), acidity (10.08) and pH (5.79) were higher in light green banded while EC (472.33) was higher in Green type. RI (1.34) was found same in all types. Proximate showed higher values of moisture (91.93%) and crude fat (43.00 x 10-3 %) in light green banded while ash (9.60 x 10-3 %) and crude protein (1.75 %) were higher in green. The sugar content of green was highest among all others. It could be concluded from the data that various types of watermelon along with apparent difference are also different according to their composition. So for any nutritional formulations the nutritional composition of each type should considered.

Four chelating agents—DTPA, EDTA, AB-DTPA and six molarities of sodium gluconate (0.005M, 0.01M, ... more Four chelating agents—DTPA, EDTA, AB-DTPA and six molarities of sodium gluconate (0.005M, 0.01M,
0.015M, 0.02M, 0.025M and 0.03M) were compared as extractants for Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn, Pb, Ni, Cr and Cd in 5
diverse soils collected at different locations surrounding Peshawar from 0-30cm depth. Soil samples were also
analyzed for soil chemical properties. The data of chemical analysis showed that soil pH was alkaline in nature.
Electrical conductivity values of soil samples showed that the samples were non saline. Organic matter was
found deficient and medium in 40 and 40 % samples respectively. AB-DTPA was the most effective extractant
for Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Ni, and Cr whereas EDTA was the most effective extractant for Cd and Zn. An increasing
trend in extractability of the nutrient was observed with an increase in the molarities of sodium gluconate.
