Adults and nymphs of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), were collected in the Guayaquil, Samborondón, and Durán cantons in coastal Ecuador. Psyllids were found in high numbers in citrus (Citrus spp., Sapindales: Rutaceae) and orange jasmine (Murraya exotica [L.] Jack, Sapindales: Rutaceae) trees within the Guayaquil-Samborondon-Duran conurbation; however...

In order to qualitative and quantitative study on essential oil, obtained from leaf and peel of Citrus aurantium L. cultivated in North of Iran (Sari city) the leaves and fruits were gathered on April and November 2002, respectivelly. Clevenger apparatus was used for hydro-distillation extraction in order to provide the oil of leaf and peel of Citrus aurantium L. The outputs of each essential o...

A pot experiment was conducted with the single and combined doses of fungicides, plant extracts antagonist for management nine rice pathogens. total 13 treatments including controls or without inocula pathogen were tested. Amongst all only T6 (Bavistin + Azadirachta indica Trichoderma harzianum) showed highest percentage seed germination seedling vigor index seeds inoculated Alternaria alternat...

The aims of this work were principally two-fold: first, to show that cyclic voltammetry is a simple, cheap and practical method for determining antioxidants in citrus fruit juices; second, to evaluate vitamin C in four species of citrus fruits. Two are known world wide, the lemon, Citrus limon (L.) Burm.f., and the lime, Citrus aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle, and two are principally but not e...
