Cotton is the major fiber and oil seed crop around the globe, which is badly affected by water deficit stress. To fulfill the needs of increasing population with depleting water resources there is need to adopt management strategies which result in sufficient cotton yield with less water consumption. Keeping in view the current circumstances, research studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of partial rhizosphere drying (PRD) in combination with different mulch materials (M0= control, M1= black plastic mulch, M2= wheat straw mulch and M3= cotton stick mulch) for enhancing the productivity of cotton with less water. Study was comprised of five experiments. In the first experiment five different cotton cultivars (FH142, IUB222, IUB13, MM58, NOOR) from recent existing pool were screened out against control (I0) and PRD (I1) irrigation under wire house conditions. Cotton variety MM58 performed the best with maximum physiological and both enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants values. In second experiment the selected variety (MM58) was again tested under various mulches and irrigation regimes in wire house. Wheat straw mulch gave the best results with maximum stomatal conductance, photosynthesis, and biochemical activities. Third experiment was carried out for comparative study of full, deficit and PRD irrigation. PRD was found better than DI (deficit irrigation) using equal amount of water. Abscisic acid (ABA) concentration was found more in PRD than DI which had positive influences on cotton physiology for efficiently utilization of irrigation water. Same experiment was repeated under field conditions for consecutive two years. More growth traits were found under control irrigation but yield attributes were statistically at par in both control and PRD irrigation. Concentration of osmolytes (proline & sugar contents), activities of antioxidant enzymes and water use efficiency (WUE) were more in PRD treatment. Amongst all mulches wheat straw mulch significantly improved the growth, yield and quality attributes (fiber length and strength) of cotton as compared to un-mulched treatment under field conditions. Economic analysis of the field experiments revealed that maximum net field benefit (NFB) was obtained in control irrigation with wheat straw mulch. It was concluded that wheat straw mulch gave the best results under both control and PRD irrigation than other mulch combinations used in the experiment.

مولانا سید شاہ رضوان اﷲ قادری مجیبی

مولانا سید شاہ رضوان اﷲ قادری مجیبی
افسوس ہے کہ خانقاہ مجیبیہ پھلواری شریف پٹنہ کے سجادہ نشین مولانا سید شاہ رضوان اﷲ قادری مجیبی ۳۱؍ دسمبر ۲۰۰۳؁ء کو وفات پاگئے، اِنا ﷲ وَاِنا اِلیہ رَاجِعونْ۔
ابھی عمر کی جس منزل میں وہ تھے، یہ جانے کے دن نہیں ہوتے لیکن مشیت الٰہی میں کس کا دخل؟ موت کا تو وقت مقرر ہے، فَاِذَا جَآءَ اجلُھُمْ لَا یستَأخِرُونْ سَاعۃ وَّلَا یستَقْدِمُوْنَ۔[الاعراف:۳۴]
خانقاہ مجیبیہ کا علمی و روحانی فیض مدت دراز سے جاری ہے، شاہ صاحب اس کی قدیم روایات اور اپنے عالی مقام اسلاف کی خصوصیات اور خوبیوں کے حامل تھے اور خود بھی ایک صاحب فیض عالم اور ذاکر و شاغل بزرگ تھے، ان کی ذات سے ہزاروں طالبین و سالکین فیض یاب ہورہے تھے مگر اب تزکیہ و اصلاح اور ارشاد کا یہ سرچشمہ بند ہوگیا۔
ان کو تقویٰ و اخلاص، صوم و صلوٰۃ کی پابندی، سادگی و درویشی اور خوش مزاجی و خوش خلقی ورثے میں ملی تھی، راقم کو دو تین بار ان کی خدمت میں حاضری اور ان کی پاکیزہ سیرت اور مطہر زندگی کے جلوے دیکھنے کا اتفاق ہوا، ہر بار نہایت خندہ پیشانی سے ملے اور لطف و کرم سے پیش آئے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کے درجات بلند کرے اور پس ماندگان کو صبر جمیل عطا کرے، آمین۔
(ضیاء الدین اصلاحی، فروری ۲۰۰۴ء)

The Life and Achievements of Hyder Bux Jatoi, With an Special Reference to His Social and Political Contributions

Comrade Hyder Bux Jatoi, also known as ‘Baba e Sindh’, was the most prominent leader of the farmer societies of pre-independence Pakistan. Although he was a bureaucrat turned into a farmer activist, but later he played a very important role in the social and political settings of the country at that time. Most of the Pakistani people remember him as a sign of change and renovation in the agricultural history of Pakistan. This was a great effort to credit the front-runners and their struggle; it is very prominent among the laborers and landless leaders of the world. He devoted his entire life to set peace up for the struggle of land ownership rights to dispossessed farmers, and highlighted the cause, to be noticed by the notables. The vision of Mr. Jatoi is still reflected in many situations when initiatives are taken by the various governments of the world to provide the masses with the basic requirements of development and peace.

Exploring the Possibilities of Using Poetry for Enhancing Language Development of Secondary School Students

This small-scale action research explored the possibilities of using poetry for teaching English as second language. The study was based on the rationale that literature can be used as a resource for enhancing language development of students in our context. The assumptions were that poetry would stimulate students' interest and would create opportunities of using and learning language. The study was conducted in a secondary classroom of a private English medium school in Karachi, Pakistan. The action research studied the existing teaching practices of English language as well as the problems faced by teachers and students in teaching and learning English and students' language needs. The action was implemented in two cycles consisting of reconnaissance, planning, implementation, and reflection. Planning and implementation was in response to emerging needs and issues from each action. The data was collected through interviews, discussions with teacher and students and was analyzed after each reflection and action. The study reports some possible strategies of teaching poetry for language development. It also discusses some key findings such as that students' interest in poetry can be stimulated by providing relevant and appropriate poems and by enabling students to articulate their own understandings. Furthermore, it provides multiple opportunities to the students for enhance their language skills and meaningful contexts for using the language. The study concludes by presenting my key learning as a teacher, teacher educator and an action researcher. It ends by suggesting some recommendations for schools and further research.
