Previous studies have demonstrated nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug treatment in early lactation had a positive impact on whole-lactation milk production older cows. The objective of this study was to evaluate proliferative, transcriptional, and epigenetic changes the mammary gland that could explain increased responses due treatment. Sodium salicylate (SAL; 125 g/d) or water (CON) were admin...

Nanoparticles (NPs) of ZnO are reported to enhance plant growth; however, during NPs syntheses, they tend agglomerate, affecting their dispersion. Agglomeration can be counteracted if surface is modified and/or have the appropriate morphology. The objective present study was assess effects morphology, modification, and way application NPs-ZnO on tomato. Two morphologies (spherical or hexagonal)...

Over the last few years, we have been experimenting with the idea of applying ethylene-releasing plant growth regulators (PGRs) to the rootzone as a substrate drench. This is a rather radical idea for floriculture production overall and flowerbulb forcing in particular. In this newsletter, we’ll review ethylene as a growth regulator, discuss the commercialy available ethylenereleasing PGRs and ...

The citrus industry is challenged by numerous arthropods, yet extensive research has not been conducted to determine the potential use of entomopathogenic fungi as endophytes in pest management strategies. Two inoculation methods (i.e., soil drench and foliar spray) using a suspension Beauveria bassiana (strain PPRI 5339 contained Velifer®) containing 4 × 107 conidia mL−1 0.01% Tween 80 were on...

2. Salt solutions and milk given as a drench did not produce complete closure of the groove. However, when the animals were accustomed to sucking from a teat before weaning, any liquid suspension and also water, sucked from a bottle, passed entirely to the abomasum even in Iz-month-old sheep. 3. This technique may be useful when it is desirable to cause protein or other nutrients to by-pass fer...
