Four sets of experiments were conducted in the pots as well as under field conditions during 2013 and 2014. Two experiments under pot condition for maize and wheat were conducted at Government Fruit Nursery Farm, Agriculture Extension Department District Haripur. Two experiments at field condition for maize and wheat crop were conducted at farmer field village Mang, Tehsil and District Haripur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The objectives of the study were to investigate different weed control techniques and select appropriate methods for weed control in wheat and maize cropping system. To determine various combination of allelopathic plants extract for weed management in wheat and maize cropping systems. To determine the allelopathic effects of various mulch materials for weed management in wheat and maize cropping systems under field conditions. To explore the role of phenolic compounds present in test species for weed management in wheat and maize crops and to recommend the feasible and efficient weed control method in wheat and maize crop under rainfed conditions. The first sets of experiments was conducted in clay pots on maize in the presence of weeds in completely randomized design with eight treatments comprising untreated control, Moringa oleifera leaves extract spray (MLE), Parthenium hystorophorus leaves extract (PLE) spray, Cannabis sativa leaves extract (CLE) spray, M. oleifera + P. hystorophorus leaves extract (MLE + PLE) spray, M. oleifera + C. sativa leaves extract (MLE + CLE) spray, P. hystorophorus + C. sativa leaves extract (PLE + CLE) spray and M. oleifera + P. hystorophorus + C. sativa leaves extract (MLE + PLE + CLE) spray. The analysis of data revealed reduction in number of leaves of weeds, leaf and shoot length of various weeds of maize where moringa + parthenium + cannabis leaves extract was sprayed as compared to untreated control and other treatments. It was also noted that combined application of extracts was much effective in controlling weeds as compared to sole application. The data showed maximum improvement in number of leaves, leaf and shoot length of maize was recorded when mixture of moringa + parthenium + cannabis leaves v extract was applied as compared to alone moringa, parthenium and cannabis leaves extract. The 2nd pot experiment was conducted on wheat in the presence of weeds The analysis of data revealed inhibitory effects on number of weed leaves, leaves and shoot length of various weeds of wheat crop where mixture of moringa + parthenium + cannabis leaves extract was sprayed as compared to sole spray of moringa, moringa + parthenium, moringa + cannabis and parthenium + cannabis leaves extract. While wheat improved its number of leaves, leaf and shoot length where mixture of moringa + parthenium + cannabis leaves extract was applied as compared to sole application of moringa, parthenium and cannabis leaves extract. Various phenolic compounds were detected in moringa, parthenium and cannabis leaves. Maximum phenolic compounds were present in parthenium followed by cannabis and moringa. The 3rd experiment conducted under field conditions on maize comprised eight treatments: untreated control, wheat straw mulching, dry leaves of eucalyptus mulching, rice straw mulching, grass clipping mulching, living mulch intercropping of (soybean), black plastic mulching and herbicide (Primixtra) spray @ 400 ml acre-1 to evaluate their effect on weed density, relative weed density, fresh and dry biomass of different weed species of maize at 25, 50 and 75 DAS (days after sowing). The analysis of data revealed that weed density increased where no mulch was used followed by soybean and dry leaves of eucalyptus while primixtra herbicide @ 400 ml acre-1 and black plastic significantly reduced weed density followed by rice and wheat straw mulch. Similarly, more reduction in weed density, relative weed density, fresh and dry biomass in all weed species was recorded for primixtra @ 400 ml acre-1 and black plastic, rice straw and wheat straw mulch. Maximum weed density, relative weed density, fresh and dry biomass of all the weed species was found where soybean was intercropped with maize and grass clippings were used. Plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, cobs length, weight, number of grains per cob, 1000-grains weight, grain yield and root shoot of maize progressively improved where primixtra herbicide @ 400 ml acre-1, black plastic mulch, rice, wheat straw, eucalyptus leaves were used. However, more economic benefits were obtained from dry leaves of eucalyptus followed by rice straw mulch. The 4th field experiment conducted at field conditions with wheat comprised eight treatments: control, maize stalk mulching, dry leaves of mulberry mulching, sugarcane bagasse mulching, grass clipping mulch, living mulch intercropping of lentil crop with vi wheat, black plastic mulch and herbicides topik @ 120 g & buctrilsuper @ 300 ml acre-1 to evaluate their effect on weed density, relative weed density, fresh and dry biomass of different weed species of wheat under rainfed conditions at 25, 50 and 75 DAS. The analysis of data revealed highest reduction in weed density, relative weed density, fresh and dry biomass in all the weed species where herbicides topik @ 120 g & buctrilsuper @ 300 ml acre-1 and black plastic mulch were applied followed by sugarcane bagasse as compared to control and living mulch. There was maximum weed density, relative weed density, fresh and dry biomass of all weed species where lentil was intercropped with wheat and dry leaves of mulberry were used. There was significant effect of various mulch materials on seed germination percentage, wheat growth and agronomic traits. More improvements in wheat plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, number of tillers, number of spike, spike length, number of grains and 1000-grains weight were observed where topik @ 120 g & buctrilsuper @ 300 ml acre-1, black plastic mulch and sugarcane bagasse and living mulch was used as compared to control. More economic benefits were obtained from sugarcane bagasse and grass clippings were used. In Conclusion moringa, parthenium and cannabis have allelopathic potential to suppress various weeds of maize and wheat. In case of foliar spray of various plants leaves extracts, moringa + parthenium + cannabis were found more effective than any other combinations to manage weeds. Hence in maize, rice and wheat straw and dry leaves of eucalyptus have more allelopathic potential and suppressive effects on maize weeds under rain-fed condition. In case of wheat, sugarcane bagasse has suppressive effect.

منشی عبدالعزیز صاحب انصاری
دارالمصنفین کے خیر خواہوں اور خدمت گزاروں کو یہ خبر سن کر بڑا رنج و غم اور سخت ملال ہوا کہ اس کی مجلس انتظامیہ کے ایک معزز، سرگرم، مخلص اور قدیم رکن جناب منشی عبدالعزیز صاحب انصاری یکم دسمبر کو بمبئی میں وفات پاگئے، اِناﷲِ وَ اِنا اِلَیہ رَاجِعُون، یہاں سے ان کا تعلق حضرت مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ کے دور میں قائم ہوا، جو بعد میں محکم سے محکم تر ہوتا گیا، وہ بمبئی میں رہتے تھے، لیکن ان کا وطن اعظم گڑھ ہی تھا، اس لیے دارالمصنفین سے ان کا بڑا گہرا قلبی اور جذباتی تعلق تھا۔ اکثر کہا کرتے تھے کہ اس نے ہماری عزت و شہرت میں چار چاند لگادیا ہے، اس سرزمین پر وہ لوگ چلتے پھرتے دکھائی دیتے ہیں جنھوں نے اس کو علم و فن کا لالہ زار بنادیا ہے، وہ اس کی مجلس انتظامیہ کے جلسوں میں نہایت پابندی سے تشریف لاتے، ان کے قیمتی مشوروں سے دارالمصنفین کو بڑا فائدہ پہنچتا، مشکل وقتوں میں اس کے لیے سینہ سپر رہتے، دارالمصنفین کو مالی اعانت کی ضرورت ہوتی تو اس کے کارکنوں کو بمبئی ملاتے اور اپنے یہاں دعوتوں پر اصحاب ثروت کو مدعو کرکے اس کی امداد کرنے پر آمادہ کرتے، شبلی کالج سے بھی خاص تعلق رکھتے اور اس کی ترقی سے بڑی دلچسپی لیتے، تقریباً چالیس برس سے اس کی مجلس انتظامیہ کے صدر تھے، ان کا انتخاب ہمیشہ بلامقابلہ ہوتا تھا۔
ان کی رسمی تعلیم زیادہ نہ تھی، لیکن بڑے علم دوست اور اردو فارسی کا اچھا ذوق رکھتے تھے، وہ بمبئی میں ٹرانسپورٹ کا کاروبار کرتے تھے، جہاں ایک سے بڑھ کر ایک تاجر تھے مگر جو عزت، نیک نامی اور قدر و منزلت انھوں نے حاصل کی وہ کم کسی کو نصیب ہوئی، وہ مہمانوں کے لیے ہر...

من مشاكل الشباب اليوم فقدان العلم والتربية وكيفية معالجتها

Youth is asset of a nation and it’s our luck that Muslim Ummah and specially Pakistan consists of 60% youngsters. Therefore, we thank to Almighty Allah but with great the passage of time due to our lack of intrest this asset is going to deteacked, which is a great loss of Muslim Ummah.. This article is an effort to determine the difficulties and issues of Muslim youngsters and then their solution in the light of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet (r). As well as this study also points out the solutions of the current issues of youngsters. If we try to know the reasons of the difficulties of youngsters bared on ignorance and illiteracy and we should give them prior importerne. We cannot ignore the significance of the role of youngsters in the development of Islamic society. This paper tells the Islamic knowledge, Islamic education and love to Allah and his kind prophet (r) as role model and ethical grooming on the basis of faith, Islamic worships and morality are necessary tools for that grooming and reformation. Side by side we cannot forget the role of family system, mosques and madrasas, friends and the society in character building of youngsters and specially the role of mosques to educate the society, especially youngsters.

Separation of Some Selected Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metal Ions by Inorganic Ion Exchangers

The work described in this thesis consists of the synthesis, characterization and application of the supported ion exchange materials for use in connection with the separation of lithium, rubidium, cesium and strontium ions from the nitric acid solutions. Some of these metals, especially the Li, are of immense importance due to their use in industrial and defense sectors being vital for a special type of atomic power plants, alloy making, hydrogen storage, heat-resistant ceramic technologies, pharmaceutical industry and power sources including the storage batteries. Such uses, naturally, are expected to lead to environmental issues with the envisaged environmental induction leading to deterioration of the latter. Increasing energy demands and hence more nuclear power production seems to be inevitable and feasible alternate. However such steps may result in the production of more than forty radioactive by-products including Rb86, 87, Cs134, 137 and Sr90. These radio nuclides with their high transport abilities are expected to find their way to water bodies and soils and thus incorporated into animals and human beings through the food chain. The present work describes separation of such hazardous metal ions from the effluents and thus suggests environmental remedial mitigation and control by using new types of materials and appropriate separation methodologies. For this purpose supported inorganic ion exchange materials based upon hexacyanoferrates of different metal ions were prepared and used for the separation of the lithium, rubidium, cesium and strontium ions from aqueous HNO3 solutions. Potassium iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) and potassium iron(II) hexacyanoferrate(III) supported on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) were prepared by impregnation-precipitation method. However silica gel supported potassium iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II), potassium iron(II) hexacyanoferrate(III), potassium nickel(II) hexacyanoferrate(III) and potassium copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(III) were synthesized, by in-situ impregnation–precipitation of the silica gel, prepared from trans silicate a commercial sodium silicate product cheaply available in the local market. All the synthesized materials were characterized by FTIR, XRPD, SEM/EDX, CHNS, TGA and surface area analysis in addition to the solubility and stability studies using different solutions of the mineral acids. Using the synthesized ion exchange materials separation studies for each of the lithium, rubidium, cesium and strontium ions, in HNO3 solution, were conducted independently, by carrying out optimizations procedures for establishment of various factors on the separation processes, to elucidate effects of the changing concentration of the metal ion, extent of the ion exchange process, effect of temperature variations on sorption, xii sorption capacity and distribution coefficient determination under respective optimized concentration for each of the above mentioned ions. All procedures, as designed, were tested before undertaking actual separations using authenticated standard solutions. Results on these optimizations are presented and discussed. Distribution coefficient (Kd) values determined for each of the Li+, Rb+, Cs+ and Sr2+ sorption on each of the synthesized material suggested their metal ion removal efficiency. Distribution coefficient values of these metal ions on PMMA supported potassium iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) represented a decreasing order of the Kd values as Li+ < Rb+< Cs+< Sr2+ showing the maximum capability for the Sr2+ removal. Deviation in the above cited trend was observed in the case of PMMA supported potassium iron(II) hexacyanoferrate(III) as Kd values followed the trend Sr2+ < Li+ < Rb+< Cs+ showing the lowest distribution of the Sr2+. Distribution of the metal ions on silica gel supported potassium iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) indicated the lowest efficiency of the sorbent for Sr2+ removal, while alkali metals have shown minimum values of Kd for Rb+, intermediate for Li+ and highest for Cs+. Potassium iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) supported on silica gel has followed the order Li+<Rb+<Sr2+<Cs+, while silica gel supported potassium nickel(II) hexacyanoferrate(III) has depicted the decreasing order of the distribution coefficient values as Rb+< Li+≤ Sr2+< Cs+ showing the least capability for the Rb+ extraction, intermediate for Li+ and Sr2+, while maximum for Cs+. Efficacy of the silica gel supported potassium copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(III) was minimum for Li+ and maximum for the Cs+ as indicated by the Kd values which have shown the decreasing order Li+< Sr2+<Rb+<Cs+. Distribution coefficient values stated that the material PMMA supported potassium iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) appeared to be the best for the Sr2+ removal under respective optimized conditions. Maximum efficiency for the Li+ extraction was observed in silica gel supported potassium iron(II) hexacyanoferrate(III), while silica gel supported potassium copper(II) hexacyanoferrate(III) appeared to be the best for Rb+ removal. All the materials were found to be excellent Cs+ scavenger under respective optimized conditions. The results obtained have been discussed keeping in view the available information and stipulated use of some of these materials have been suggested for remedial mitigation of the environmental problems.
