The research results on the pelleted seeds production technology using domestic granulator KVV-14 basis of plant polysaccharides were presented. Prospects in national economy shown. best quality indicators obtained forest species options sizes from 350 to 400 µm, polymer binder and “Nanoplant” microfertilizer. Their mutual use had a positive effect seeds. Sowing with decrease seeding rate by 32...

Dissipation and persistence study of imidacloprid on peas as seed treatment revealed presence 6.47 9.92 mg kg-1 residues green pea leaves at a dose 1.8 g 3.6 a.i. per kg seed, respectively after 19 days treatment. Residues dissipated below limit quantification 0.01 49 54 were found in immature pod with succulent seeds, seeds (shelled), mature soil dry fodder (without root pod).

To evaluate the effects of the pelleting and the addition of sodium monensin on production, the chemical and lipid composition of milk and butter physical characteristics, 4 Holstein dairy cows (135 days of lactation) with an average milk production of 14.7 kg/d, were supplemented with a concentrate containing ground canola seeds. The cows were assigned to a 4×4 Latin square design with a 2×2 f...

Concerns over the role of pesticides affecting vertebrate wildlife populations have recently focussed on systemic products which exert broad-spectrum toxicity. Given that the neonicotinoids have become the fastest-growing class of insecticides globally, we review here 150 studies of their direct (toxic) and indirect (e.g. food chain) effects on vertebrate wildlife--mammals, birds, fish, amphibi...

Abstract Papaya ( Carica papaya ) seeds together with squash Cucurbita moschata was pelleted to be used as dewormer, determine its antihelmintic effects on growing chicken. They were randomly divided into four treatments and replication five birds per treatment assigned using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), a total of eighty native chickens. The were: Treatment A - Control (commercial ...

The striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a key pest of cucurbit crops throughout its range. A novel precision band applicator was designed to inject a solid stream of imidacloprid solution in-furrow directly over the seed during planting to reduce beetle leaf feeding on pumpkin, zucchini, and cucumber crops. In 2004 and 2005, bioassays at the cotyledon...

Regarding the hypothesis that neonicotinoid insecticides used for seed coating of agricultural crops - mainly corn, sunflower and seed rape - are related to the extensive death of honey bees, the phenomenon of corn seedling guttation has been recently considered as a possible route of exposure of bees to these systemic insecticides. In the present study, guttation drops of corn plants obtained ...
