A Screening Method of Chemicals for Controlling Soft Rot Deseases

Field screening of safflower genotypes for resistance to charcoal rot disease

Nineteen safflower genotypes (Carthamus tinctorius L.) that originated from different geographical regions were screening for their response to infection with Macrophomina phaseolina, the charcoal rot pathogen at the research farm of Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Gorgan, Iran, in 2005. The plants were evaluated for length and width of necrotic lesion at the e...

A Method for Controlling

1 Abstract Two types of errors can be associated with classifying data into two categories A and B: misclassifying an item in A as one of B and, conversely, misclassifying an item in B as one of A. Tight control over these two errors is needed in many practical situations. For example, an error of one type may have far more serious consequences than one of the other type. Most previous work on ...

Developing New Integrated Strategies for Controlling White Rot in Garlic

White rot caused by Sclerotium cepivorum Berk is a significant threat to garlic and onion industry in the United States. The pathogen produces a great number of poppy seed-sized sclerotia, which can survive in soil for many years. Populations of just a few sclerotia per liter soil can potentially cause severe disease and result in crop failure. Once the land has been infested, it is generally c...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
