Validating and Estimating Yield of Irrigated Potatoes Using Aerial and Satellite Remote Sensing

Habitat corridors confer many conservation benefits by increasing movement of organisms between habitat patches, but the benefits for some species may exact costs for others. For example, corridors may increase the abundance of consumers in a habitat to the detriment of the species they consume. In this study we assessed the impact of corridors on insect herbivory of a native plant, Solanum ame...

      The methanolic extract of whole plants of Solanum nigrum L. was investigated for anti-inflammatory activity on the experimental animal models. The methanolic extract at a concentration of 100 mg.kg-1 and 200 mg.kg-1, p.o. showed the significant dose dependent anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenin and egg white induced hind paw oedema in rats. An...

Introduction: The larvicidal activity of oils, fatty acids, and methyl esters of Solanum lycocarpum fruit against Culex quinquefasciatus is unknown. Methods: The larvicidal activity of samples of ripe and unripe fruit from S. lycocarpum was evaluated against third and fourth instar larvae of C. quinquefasciatus. Results: The oils, fatty acids, and methyl esters of S. lycocarpum showed the great...

salt stress negatively impacts crops yield throughout the world. nine varieties of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) were screened for salt stress tolerance by measuring in-vitro growth of the aerial plant parts, as well as roots. salt stress was evaluated by adding 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm of nacl to murashige- skoog (ms) medium and compared to ms medium without nacl. plant length and ...

acid extract of solanum tuberosum was tested as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 m hcl and h2so4 media using different techniques: weight loss (in different temperatures viz., 303, 313 and 323 k), potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and sem techniques. the studies reveal that the plant extract act as good inhibitors in both the acid media and better...

objective: hypercholesterolemia is the greatest risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. the present study is conducted to evaluate the lipid lowering activity of leaves and fruits of solanum macrocarpon, a vegetable, on wistar rats experimentally rendered hypercholesterolemic by triton x-100. materials and methods: the leaves and fruits were administered (p.o.) for 7 days to rats at doses of 4...
