Root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita is the most widespread and destructive pathogen of tomato as it is difficult to control due to its wide host range. Management strategies for root knot nematodes mainly rely on chemicals/nematicides because of limited availability of resistant cultivars. The present investigation was planned to exploit the nematicidal potential of bio and synthetic chemicals against M. incognita on tomato. The effect of twenty chemicals currently available in the market was evaluated against M. incognita. Hatching inhibition and juvenile’s mortality of M. incognita was assessed under in vitro conditions. Four concentrations of each chemical were prepared viz., 2S, S, S/2 and S/4 according to recommended dose of each chemical. Data on hatching inhibition were recorded after 2, 4 and 6 days and on mortality after 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours of incubation. Maximum hatching inhibition and mortality percentage was recorded in synthetic (Cartap, Virtako) and bio (Cure, Azadirachtin) chemicals. These four chemicals were selected and evaluated further against mobility of juveniles and for their phytotoxic effect on tomato. The minimum number of J2s was recovered in Cartap followed by other chemicals while the maximum was recovered in control. Tomato plants were examined for yellowing or browning, wilting, necrosis, burning and plant mortality for up to two weeks; none of the chemical was found to be phytotoxic. Efficiency of selected chemicals was evaluated at different time intervals viz., 7, 14 and 28 days against M. incognita on nematode reproduction parameters. A gradual decline was noted in the effectiveness of chemicals with the increase in time interval. Galling index was increased in all the chemicals after 28 days interval as compared to 7 and 14 days. Selected chemicals significantly reduced invasion and subsequent development of nematodes in roots. Protective application of selected bio and synthetic chemicals was more effective at nematode suppression rather than being curative. Systemic effect of chemicals was determined through split root technique. Selected chemicals showed systemic activity in terms of lesser number of egg masses, females and eggs/egg mass in the untreated root portion. Selected chemicals were tested as soil drench and root dip treatment against M. incognita. Results revealed that soil drench treatment was more effective in reducing nematode population than root dip treatment. Combined application of selected chemicals with fertilizers not only reduced nematode reproduction but also improved plant growth. Significant suppression in nematode population was observed in all the selected chemicals when applied in infested microplots. The results of present investigation suggest suitable chemicals for growers having a nematode problem in their fields to incorporate it in management strategies.

میری آواز کو باغی کہہ سکتے ہو تو کہو

میری آواز اقبال کا شاہین
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پرلب کشائی کرنی ہے وہ ہے:’’اقبال کا شاہین ‘‘
جنابِ صدر!
علامہ اقبال رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے اپنے اشعار میں جو لفظ شاہین استعمال کیا ہے، اس سے مراد ان کی صرف ظاہری طور پر نظر آنے والا شاہین نہیں ہے، صرف ایک معروف پرندے کے طور پر ذکر کیا جانے والا شاہین نہیں آسمان کی بلندیوں پر محو پرواز طائرنہیں ہے۔
جناب صدر!
شاہین سے مراد وہ نوجوان نسل لیتے ہیں ، شاہین کی خصوصیات وہ نوجوان نسل میں پیدا کرنا چاہتے ہیں، نوجوان نسل کی اصلاح ہی ان کے لیے تعمیر وطن میں اہم کردار ادا کرسکتی ہے، وہ شاہیں کا ذکر کر کے انسانیت کو ان کا اصل مقام دلانے کی مساعی جمیلہ کرتے ہیں، وہ شاہین کی خصوصیات کے قائل ہیں ، وہ نو جوان نسل کو ارفع مقام پرمتمکن کرنے کے خواہشمند ہیں۔
نہیں تیرا نشیمن قصر سلطانی کے گنبد پر
تو شاہیں ہے بسیرا کر پہاڑوں کی چٹانوں میں
صدرِذی وقار!
اقبال کا حکیمانہ فلسفہ ’’شاہین کے روپ میں ہمیں یہ باور کراتا ہے کہ مسلمان کا مقصد حیات اس سرزمین پر خلافت الہی قائم کرنا ہے، دینِ اسلام کا بول بالا کرنا ہے، اپنے فکروعمل سے سنسار کوگلزار بنانا ہے، بلندی کردار اور پختگی اعمال سے اس جہاں کو امن و آشتی کا گہوارہ بنانا ہے۔ علم و حکمت کی روشن کرنوں سے دنیا پر چھائی گھٹاٹوپ تاریکیوں کو ختم کرنا ہے، اس لیے علامہ اقبالؒ نوجوان نسل سے یہ تمنا اور امید لگائے بیٹھے ہیں کہ وہ شاہین کی طرح اپنی بلند ہمتی، عمل پیہم، جہدِمسلسل، انتھک کوشش سے اپنے اوپر چھائی...

معاصر خاندانی مسائل اور سیرت طیبہ کی روشنی میں ان کا حل

Family is a blessing from Allah Almighty. Family is the first institution of society which plays pivotal role in the moral, ethical and social development of an individual. But our contemporary family system has confronted with a number of religious social, and normal problems. Such pruners( چھانٹنا کانٹے( have enharossed our society from all caused and diffusing the moral and ethical values of society. It resulted in digestion of our family system. The degrade of entropy and chose is day by day in our society. However Islam outlays complete code of family life. It understands that it is the building foundation of every society so a clear guide as to how family structure should be built is outlined in detail in Islam. It is Provide a sample to solve all kinds of problems in the light of life of Hazrat Muhammad

An Epidemiological Study of Bovine Fasciolosis in Potohar Region, Pakistan

This study was conducted during 2007-2010 on the Fasciola species isolated from bovines grazing in the Potohar (Punjab) region of Pakistan. The objective of the study was to generate information and baseline data on the identification of Fasciola species with the help of morphometry and genomics. The Phenotypic analysis comprised on the study of morphological parameters and molecular characterization was based on genetic markers (r DNA ITS-1 and ITS- 2), simultaneously genetic diversity was investigated by using microsatellite markers. The prevalence of fasciolosis was also established in the Potohar area by screening grazing cattle and buffaloes. This was achieved by analyzing and comparing fecal egg count and serology. Immunodiagnosis was done by an indirect ELISA test, which was developed to diagnose fasciolosis in this region. The antigen used was ES antigen isolated from the liver flukes present in bovines of Potohar. The species of Fasciola identified in this area was an intermediate, resembling F.gigantica and there is no commercially available ELISA kit to detect infection between F.gigantica and Fasciola spp / F. intermedia. Since the prevalence of fasciolosis is dependent on its intermediate fresh water snail host, the occurrence of snails in selected water bodies of Potohar area was also observed including their infective stages; cercariae along with metacercariae. The monthly cercarial prevalence isolated from two selected snail species was taken into account along with prevalence of aquatic vegetation in the marked water bodies. The snails were observed for monthly cercarial activity, whereas the aquatic vegetation was observed for the presence of metacercariae. xxiiiThe results of the present study report that the species of Fasciola in the Potohar area is an intermediate resembling F.gigantica more than F.hepatica. The microsatellite markers used, show polymorphism and the presence of genetic diversity in Fasciola. Prevalence of fasciolosis was fifty five percent in the bovines grazing in this area. This was seen to be breed, age and sex related and more prevalent in buffaloes as compared to cattle. The snail species prevalent in the marked water bodies were Lymnaea acuminata and Gyraulus convexiusculus and the aquatic vegetation comprised of Vallisenaria, Najas and Hydrilla species. The monthly cercarial activity was highest in Fasciola spp recovered from L. acuminata in the month of September, 2009, whereas recovery of cercariae of Fasciola spp from Gyraulus convexiusculus was highest in the month of July. The over all study results revealed that more cercariae of Fasciola were recovered from L. acuminata compared to Gyraulus convexiusculus. The plant species most successful for metacercarial deposition was Hydrilla and Najas as compared to Vallisenaria. This present study is unique in a sense that no such type of study has previously been reported especially in Potohar region, Punjab, Pakistan. These results will be the basis for developing effective control strategies of fasciolosis, based on its occurrence and to facilitate design targeted and cost effective drugs to control fasciolosis in Potohar region.
