Harlequin bug (HB), Murgantia histrionica (Hahn), is a pest of cole crops. Alternative control strategies were investigated for control of HB, including trap cropping and systemic neonicotinoid insecticide applications. Potential trap crops, mustard (Brassica juncea ‘Southern Giant Curled’), rapeseed (B. napus ‘Athena’), rapini (B. rapa) and arugula (Eruca sativa) were preferred over collard (B...

Targeted therapy has been gaining momentum to be a promising strategy for drug development research. Natural compounds and their synthetic analogues have provided several promising anticancer drugs. Erysolin present in the Eruca sativa better known as rocket plant has been scarcely studied. In the present study, we assessed the anticancer potential and underlying mechanism(s) of action of eryso...

Coronavirus, particularly the genus Betacoronavirus, has been identified as a deadly source of numerous acute respiratory epidemics worldwide, affecting both humans and animals. The includes Covid-19, Severe syndrome coronavirus, Middle East syndrome-related coronaviruses.In contrast, others are expected to have risk transformation such bovine porcine coronavirus. We screened set natural plant ...

Arugula (Eruca sativa) is cultivated using hydroponic techniques in greenhouses to fulfill high year-round demand, but its nutrient management production has not yet been standardized, potentially leading limited quality and productivity. Aiming address this issue, we investigated the effect of electrical conductivity (EC) on yield, nutritional phytochemical properties arugula. The model cultiv...

Managing nutrients in recirculating solutions can be challenging hydroponic production, and poor management practices rapidly result root zone nutrient imbalances reduced yield. Using mass balance principles to formulate replenishment is a proposed strategy reduce the need periodically replace solution. Objectives were (1) species-specific for arugula (Eruca sativa L.) basil (Ocimum basilicum u...

The effects of combinations oxalic acid (OA) treatment with modified atmosphere packaging on the quality and biochemical content changes rocket (Eruca sativa Mill. cv. Bengi) leaves were examined. After harvest, selected dipped into an aqueous solution containing different concentrations (0-control, 0.25 mM, 0.5 1 mM) for min. Treated samples dried placed in packages. rockets stored at two temp...
