The present research work was conducted to evaluate the effect of allelopathic crops like sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and brassica (Brassica compestris L.) on weeds, productivity and rhizosphere of mung bean during 2014 and 2015. Laboratory trials were conducted in Plant and Microbial Ecology Lab, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Three sets of field experiments were conducted and repeated at Student Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. In all three field experiments, crop water extracts (10 and 20 L ha-1) were foliar applied at 15 DAS and residues incorporation (4 and 6 tons ha-1) was done before sowing. Among all the treatments residue incorporation at 6 tons ha-1 showed the highest suppression of weed density, fresh and dry weight (sorghum; 62, 67, 65%, sunflower; 57, 66, 61% and brassica; 52, 61, 56% respectively). In case of soil properties significant improvement was observed by the application of crop residues at 6 tons ha-1 as compared with control. In all three field experiments maximum mung bean seed yield was improved (37%, 36% and 33%) by the application of sorghum, sunflower and brassica crop residues, respectively at 6 tons ha-1 as compared with control. Sorghum, sunflower and brassica residues incorporation at 6 tons ha-1 had higher net benefits (306, 339 and 347 $ ha-1, respectively) followed by 4 tons ha-1 during both years. In the fourth experiment the bacterial strains 4-17HM, C-14HM, C-17HM and 10-10M isolated from rhizosphere soil of mung bean which was amended by allelopathic crop water extracts and residues, showed the highest resistance against synthetic allelochemicals and allelopathic crop water extracts and the maximum nitrogen fixing, zinc and phosphate solubilization activity. So, the whole study was concluded that the residues incorporation of different allelopathic crops (sorghum, sunflower and brassica) was more effective than their water extracts application in weed suppression, improvement in soil health and productivity of mung bean. Application of crop residues at 6 tons ha-1 was the most effective and economical treatment with highest net benefit and marginal rate of returns. Due to their resistance and active role of bacterial strains in the rhizosphere, as nitrogen fixer, zinc and phosphate solubilizer, they could be applied with the allelopathic crop water extracts and residues to manage weeds and improve soil health.

سیمینار میں مولانا محمد یوسف صاحب بنوری کی وفات حسرت آیات کی اطلاع ملی اورواپسی میں جناب قاری محمد یعقوب صاحب(کراچی)کے حادثۂ انتقال کاعلم ہوا توسخت صدمہ اورملال ہوا۔ رحمھما اﷲ رحمۃ واسعۃً۔ اکتوبر اور نومبر میں بعض ضروری علمی کاموں میں، میں اس درجہ مصروف رہا کہ برہان کی طرف بالکل توجہ نہیں کرسکا۔یہ نظرات لکھنے کے لیے بھی بڑی مشکل سے وقت نکال سکاہوں۔ آئندہ انشاء اﷲ’’وفیات‘‘کے زیر عنوان مرحوم بزرگوں کا تذکرہ ہوگا۔ [نومبر۱۹۷۷ء]

Exploring the Prevalence of Long-Covid and its Factors among Post-Covid Survivors of Karachi

Long COVID or post-COVID problems are long-term effects of COVID-19 infection that certain people who have contracted the virus can experience. This may result in having persistent symptoms for 3 months or more, such as those who had tiredness, malaise, changed smell and taste, dyspnea, and cognitive deficits three or more months after their initial COVID-19 diagnosis. However, some people may still have inferior work performance and a lower quality of life due to the long COVID episodes. From October 2021 to April 2022, cross-sectional research was conducted in Karachi, utilizing an electronic questionnaire to record sociodemographic data, current comorbidities, and previous episodes of acute COVID-19, post-COVID symptoms, and job performance among COVID survivors. The study's findings revealed that more than 35% of individuals surveyed claimed to have had COVID symptoms for six weeks or more, with approximately 20% to 30% of those reporting frequent coughing and appetite loss. Planning prevention, rehabilitation, and clinical treatment need an awareness of long-term COVID and its related components in order to maximize recovery and long-term COVID-19 outcomes.   DOI: https: //doi.

Morpho-Physiological, Chemical and Bio-Chemical Assessment of Chilli Genotypes in Different Saline Regimes

Salinity is a major abiotic stress affecting plant growth and productivity worldwide. The salinity-induced reduction in growth and development of plants is associated with ionic/osmotic effects, nutritional imbalance or oxidative stress. Chillies are sensitive to salinity and its growth reduction is reported in developing countries. Different germination and pot trials were conducted to identify morphological, chemical and bio-chemical attributes that can be used for characterization of salinity tolerance in chilli genotypes. In first experiment, 10 Chilli genotypes were screened out for salinity tolerance. One salt sensitive and one salt tolerant genotypes were selected on the basis of morphological and chemical attributes (germination percentage, shoot length, root length, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight and leaf sodium and potassium contents). Then, effects of different salinity levels were assessed on morpho-physiological, chemical, biochemical and enzymatic attributes of salt tolerant and salt sensitive chilli genotypes. With the increase in salt stress, the antioxidant enzymatic activity was increased in both genotypes but higher enzymatic activity was noted at 5.0 and 7.0 dS m-1 salt stress in salt tolerant genotype Plahi. In the third experiment, both genotypes were tested for phospholipid signaling under salt stress and both showed increasing pattern of PIP2 and PIP responses and again maximum signaling response was observed for the salt tolerant genotype Plahi. There was an optimization experiment to find out the best proline dose that could alleviate the salinity induced affects in chilli plants. With the application of different levels of foliar proline, all growth attributes increased but maximum increase was recorded at 0.8 mM proline level. Then foliar spray of the best proline dose 0.8 mM was applied to both genotypes under salt stress of 5 dS m-1. There was significant increase in compatible solutes (proline and glycinebetaine), enzymatic activity, photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance by proline application under salt stress. There was significant decrease in toxic ions (Na+ and Cl-) and increase in K+ concentration while maximum decrease in Na+ and Cl- contents was observed in salt tolerant genotype Plahi relative to the salt sensitive genotype A-120. Hence, this study implies that proline application is a useful tool to combat salinity stress in chilli genotypes
