I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah

The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

105:01
a. Have you not considered the way your Rabb - The Lord dealt with the Army of the Elephant?

105:02
a. Did HE not utterly foil their evil plans by their own destruction?

105:03
a. When HE let loose upon them swarms of birds/insects flying from all directions,

105:04
a. pelting them with pebbles of hard-baked clay,

105:05
a. and, thus, HE turned them just like chewed-up chaff of cattle.

Perception of University Students About Horoscopes in Sindh Province, Pakistan

Horoscopes are considered as one of the important content items in the mass media. Many people perceive and believe that these Zodiac signs have an impact on their lives. That is why they check these signs on different media regularly. The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of Sindh University students about horoscope. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 100 students of Sindh University through a close-ended questionnaire. The results concluded that girls are more interested in horoscope than boys. The sources for horoscope prediction were mainly newspapers among the Sindh University students. The students reported that they read horoscope daily to skip the pressure and try to satisfy their minds. This research is limited to the University of Sindh students. In the future, the researchers should conduct a large-scale study with a more significant population to determine the perception of the public about horoscopes.

Weed Spectrum and Their Management Strategies in Wheat under Different Sowing Methods Planted at Varying Dates

Unwise use of herbicides has resulted in environmental and health problems not only for human beings and also for animals but it also caused some weed species to dominate fields due to resistance development against herbicides. Among the alternate ways of weed management in field crops application of allelopathy has shown tremendous scope in agricultural pest management. Different sowing methods and planting times has varying impact on the associated weeds. Studies on dynamics of weed flora and its management by allelopathy in wheat at varying sowing times planted by different methods were conducted at the Agronomic Research Area, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan during 2008-09 and 2009-10. In the first experiment, weed flora under different sowing methods and planting dates was investigated. In second experiment allelopathic plant water extracts (PWE) of sorghum, sunflower and mulberry in combination with reduced doses of a herbicide in different sowing methods was evaluated. Whereas in third experiment, plant water extracts used in the second experiment in combination with reduced doses of a herbicide under different planting methods were assessed. Weed flora mainly consisted of Chenopodium album L. and Phalaris minor L., while few plants of Fumaria parviflora L., Avena fatua L., and Anagallis arvenses L. were also observed. It is noted that weeds if not controlled, can cause 60-66% yield losses in wheat. Maximum wheat productivity and net returns were obtained from wheat sown at November 15 on beds. Allelopathic PWE in combination with 1/3 rd dose of herbicide provided as effective weed control as was achieved from label dose of herbicide during 2008-09 and 2009-10 which caused substantial yield increase (54%), suggesting that herbicide dose could be reduced by 67%. For achieving eco-friendly weed control and maximum productivity allelopathic PWE combined with 1/3 rd dose of herbicide could be applied in wheat planted on beds at November 15.
