Season-controlled changes in biochemical constituents viz. carotenoids (carotene and xanthophyll) and pectic substances along with IAA-oxidase and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme activities were estimated/assayed in leaves of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. (tomato) in two developmental stages--pre-flowering (35 days after sowing) and post-flowering (75 days after sowing) in three different seaso...

Septoria tritici is the causal agent of leaf blotch in wheat and among the most damaging fungal cereal pathogens in the humid regions of central Europe. The percentage of the leaf area colonized by S. tritici was recorded weekly between April and July every season between 2004 and 2010. A total of 11 cultivars with moderate susceptibility [ratings of 4e6 on a 1 (resistant) to 9 (susceptible) sc...

Abstract Several biotic and abiotic stresses significantly decrease the biomass accumulation seed yield of sesame crops under rainfed areas. However, plant growth regulators (such as Paclobutrazol) can improve total dry matter production crop. The effects paclobutrazol application on had not been studied before in conditions. Therefore, a two-year field study during 2018 2019 was conducted with...

European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) pose a major threat to agricultural production and conservation values in several countries. In New Zealand, population control via poisoning is a frontline method for limiting rabbit damage, with large areas commonly treated using the metabolic toxin sodium fluoroacetate ('1080') delivered in bait via aerial dispersal. However, this method is expensive ...

Introduction. Much attention is paid to the global ecological problem of environmental pollution with heavy metals (HM), starting from their production and use ending search for means degassing bioremediation. Particular drawn study influence HM on reproductive system, in particular, uterus. This due high risk ability deterioration reflection consequences exposure future generations. Objective....
