In order to study the effects of irrigation and planting date on selected traits of ajowan (Carum copticum BENTH. & HOOK.F.) an experiment was conducted in two successive conducive seasons of 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 in Birjand. The experimental design was a split plot based on randomized complete block with three replications. In the present study, two irrigation treatments (irrigation terminat...

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is a palawija plant that widely cultivated in Indonesia and includes glycophyte plants are sensitive to salinity. Salinity stress can affect changes morphological characters growth plants. The addition of gotu kola extract biostimulants be solution reduce the effect salinity on This study aims determine concentration biostimulant characteristics mungbean experiencing...

Increased salinity, as consequence of the ongoing climate change, has a significant impact on crop production worldwide. The overexpression rice ACYL-COA-BINDING PROTEIN4 (OsACBP4) protects transgenic and Arabidopsis from salinity stress, while OsACBP4-RNAi lines were more susceptible than vector control (VC) wild type (WT). AtACBP2, OsACBP4 homologue, also conferred protection in Arabidopsis. ...

bioassays were conducted to assess the contact toxicity of two plant essential oils against adults of sitophilus granarius (l.) and tribolium confusum jacquelin du val. essential oils were extracted from seeds of carum copticum l. and cuminum cyminum l. contact toxicity was assessed by topical application and adult mortality was counted 1, 2, 6 and 24 h after exposure. bioassays were carried ou...

indian meal moth, plodia interpunctella hubner is one of the most important stored-product insects that are controlled by fumigants. however, the use of plant essential oils and their constituents may have the advantage over conventional fumigants in terms of low mammalian toxicity and can be used as alternatives to conventional fumigants. therefore, in this research, repellent activity of 18 p...

charcoal rot diseases of melon caused by macrophomina phaseolina is one of the most important diseases of melon occurring in regions with variable climate. reduction of yield of melon by this disease has been reported up to 100% in some of garmsar field. salinity which can cause the important trouble in plant metabolism and nutrition is present in semnan and garmsar areas. melon is susceptible ...

The present study evaluates the insecticidal activity of two essential Oil (EOs) mint (Mentha arvensis), and ajwain (Carum capyicum) against pulse beetle (Callosobruchus chinensis) (L). Contact toxicities these were evaluated using parameters lifecycle like total development period, numbers eggs laid, adult emergence longevity. Along with detoxification enzyme inhibition activities acetyl choli...

In a series of studies conducted in Malawi to determine the effects of different salinity concentrations on survival, growth, feed conversion, reproduction, and whole-body composition of five taxonomic groups of tilapia—Oreochromis shiranus chilwae (Lake Chilwa strain), O. shiranus chilwae (Bunda College strain), O. karongae, O. shiranus shiranus, and Tilapia rendalli—it was observed that the f...

Abstract The present study was carried out to investigate the beneficial and toxicological effect of plant-based titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) on morphophysiological attributes wheat plants under salinity stress. biogenesis accomplished by using extract Buddleja asiatica L. leaves followed characterization through UV visible spectroscopy, SEM, FTIR, EDX. NaCl salt applied in two di...

Salinity considered as significant ecological regarding the productivity of different crops different arid and semiarid areas all over the world. The most damaging things of salinity on herbal are usually related with low osmotic potential of soil solution, nutritional imbalance etc. Improving several plants usually happens under saline circumstances as a method for using saline soils which are...
