As long as I was in charge of the charitable dispensary at .Teh anabad in Gya district I had seen many cases of gonorrhoea, but after a careful investigation I could pr...

Para definir su capacidad de producción grano e introducir al amaranto (Amaranthus spp.) como cultivo para el ciclo agrícola Otoño–Invierno (OI) en noreste México, Campo Experimental la Facultad Agronomía Universidad Autónoma Nuevo León, Marín N. L., se condujo un experimento bajo diseño bloques completos azar con arreglo parcelas divididas y dos repeticiones. Se probaron cuatro genotipos Amara...

over Bengal and the North-Western Provinces. In the latter place it is somewhat scarce in the hot weather, as it dries up by exposure to the powerful rays of the sun, but even then it can be found out there in shady places. In Bengal it is constantly found every where. Cows and rabbits are very fond of the leaves. In milking cows some people believe that it increases the secretion of milk. In t...

Since Amaranthus, a common weed and very often eaten as vegetable by rural population, has been used as emollient, astringent, diuretic, blood purifier, hemorrhagic diathesis and biliousness from time...

In order to determine their taxonomic significance, 10 pericarp structure characters were scored for 21 Amaranthus L. taxa. In many, peri carp patterns permit recognition of the taxa as species. Differences between cultivated taxa and their wild relatives offer new arguments against their taxonomic union. The relationships between other closely related taxa are also analyzed (A. quitensis and A...

Nitrogen (N) management is important to assess the N effect on soil and plant under organic farming system. With this in mind, a glasshouse experiment was conducted determine of various inputs selected chemical properties, nutrient content yield spinach (Amaranthus spp). The experimental treatments were focused different percentages input (2, 4 6% from sources) with alone as control. applied 14...

this study was carried out to determine nutritive value and the effect of amaranthus grain on performance and carcass characteristics of broiler chicks. chemical composition of amaranthus grain including dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, crude ash, and gross energy were 91.04, 17.50, 8.40, 2.70, 5.41, percent and 4515 kcal/kg respectively. metabolizable energy content of amaranthus grain ...

In this study, two halophilic bacterial strains isolated from saline habitats in Argentina grew in the presence of gas oil. They were identified as Halomonas spp. and Nesterenkonia sp. by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing. Chemotaxis towards gas oil was observed in Halomonas spp. by using swimming assays.
