Assessment Regression Relation between Wheat Seed Germination Characteristics Affected Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO)

Determination Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO) Application on Quantitative Parameters of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Seed and Correlation Between Measured traits

To assessment effect of concentration and times of disinfection wheat seeds, infected by Aspergillus fungus a research was conducted based on Factorial experiment according randomized complete block design with four replications. The factors included four levels of sodium hypochlorite (2, 4, 6, and 8%) and four times of seed disinfection (2, 5, 7, and 10 minutes). Result of analysis of variance...

Why food-poisoning bacteria attached to shredded cabbage are not efficiently disinfected by sodium hypochlorite (NaClO).

The aim of this study was to determine why food poisoning bacteria attached to cut cabbage are not efficiently disinfected by sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). Pretreatment of shredded cabbage with diethyl ether definitely decreased the survival numbers of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. after disinfection with 100 ppm of NaClO. The density of E. coli O157:H7 at the cut edge of a cabbag...

Investigation Germination Characteristics of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Chamran) in Response to Seed Aging

BACKGROUND: Seed aging is an important problem in developing countries which seeds stored in inappropriate condition. OBJECTIVES: Current research was carried out to study the effect of seed aging on quantitative parameters of wheat seeds (Chamran cultivar). METHODS: Experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block desi...

Germination of Cotton Seed in Relation to Temperature1

The effect of constant temperature on the germination rate and percentage of two cotton seed lots was determined using a thermogradient plate. A gradient of 10 oC to 40 oC was established across the plate so that temperatures changed 2 oC for each 5 cm increment in length, resulting in sixteen different temperature treatments. The optimal temperature zone for germination was 28 oC to 30 oC. As ...

Sodium Hypochlorite Generation

Low concentration (0.5-0.8%) sodium hypochlorite is a viable solution for point-of-use drinking water chlorination programs in Nepal, and it can be produced on a small-scale at a low cost using relatively cheap, safe, and robust generators, appropriate for developing country conditions. This thesis describes the set-up and the testing of a sodium hypochlorite generator in Kathmandu, at the labo...
