Preplant soil applications of oxamyl to shade grown tobacco in Globodera tabacum-infested field soil increased green leaf yields over untreated plots by 10.7 and 21.0% for 2.2 and 6.7 kg a.i. oxamyl/ha, respectively. Green leaf yield was negatively correlated (r = -0.60, P = 0.04) with initial G. tabacum density, which ranged from 33 to 154 second-stage juveniles (J2)/cm(3) soil. Numbers of G. ...

Under low growth-irradiance and/or excessive nitrogen (N) fertilization, the roots of leafy vegetables could take up nitrate (NO3) faster than the plant can convert it to organic nitrogen compounds. NO3 is suspected to have carcinogenic effect in human when eaten in high quantity. In this study, lettuce plants were first grown in an aeroponics system with full nutrients (full NO3) under full su...

background: bone marrow stromal cells (bmsc) have been successfully employed for movement deficit recovery in spinal cord injury (sci) rat models. one of the unsettled problems in cell transplantation is the relative high proportion of cell death, specifically after neural differentiation. according to our previous studies, p75 receptor, known as the death receptor, is only expressed in bmsc in...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com non-rice crops in a rotation such as wheat. Therefore, puddling for rice transplanting should be avoided as it has adverse effects on the succeeding upland crops. Unpuddled transplanting is an alternative method for rice establishment which can be adopted to overcome these problems and also to reduce cost of rice production. For this system, the lan...
