The effects of single and combined growth regulator treatments of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA3) and coconut milk on plant height, yield, chlorophyll and vitamin contents of Abelmoschus esculetus L and Solanum gilo L were investigated. The single growth regulator treatments consisted of 50mg/L, 100 mg/L of IAA and GA3 and 10%, 15% of coconut milk. In case of combined growth ...

Foliar sprays of three plant resistance inducers, including chitosan (CH), potassium sorbate (PS) (C6H7kO2), and potassium bicarbonates (PB) (KHCO3), were used for resistance inducing against Erysiphe cichoracearum DC (powdery mildew) infecting okra plants. Experiments under green house and field conditions showed that, the powdery mildew disease severity was significantly reduced with all test...

The type and the amount of binders decisively influence the characteristics of tablets prepared by wet granulation procedure. Commonly used binders like acacia, gelatin, starch and hydrolyzed starch have natural origin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new binder extracted from Hibiscus esculentus (Okra gum) in tableting. binder Hibiscus esculentus gum was extracted ...

The present study aimed at the effect of different quantities copper oxide nanoparticles on growth, biochemical characteristics and yield Lady’s finger Abelmoschus esculentus. Copper were synthesized characterized by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM, EDAX, FTIR. Pot culture studies such as 50, 100, 150,200 250mg for treatments T₀ (control) T₁, T₂, T₃, T₄, T₅ respectively esculentus estimated afte...

The effect of pre-sowing magnetic treatments was investigated on germination, growth and yield of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus cv. Sapz pari). The dry okra seeds were exposed to sinusoidal magnetic field induced by an electromagnet. The average magnetic field exposure was 99 mT for 3 and 11 min and seeds with no magnetic field treatment were considered as control. Both treated and non-treated s...

A 2-year study was conducted to determine the relationships between plant canopy photosynthesis, canopy light interception, and plant productivity of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) exhibiting differing leaf morphologies. The near-isogenic lines were from a single background (MD 65-11) and represented the leaf shapes Normal (small leaf lobing), Sub-Okra (intermediate leaf lobing), Okra (large le...

tration thresholds for rifampicin, isoniazid or pyrazinamide. We think that our study together with recent studies, not the least from Professor Gumbo and coworkers, calls for standard, routine therapeutic drug monitoring for all TB patients in Denmark; when embarking on a 6 month treatment of a deadly disease, it should be imperative—if the means and methods are available—to monitor whether th...

Leaf shapes of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) range from highly divided leaves (okra leaf) to normal leaf shape (Meredith, 1 ). The variation in leaf shape results in differences in canopy architecture and light interception characteristics (Wells and Meredith, 1 ). Heitholt et al. (1 ) described higher yields of okra leaf isolines for a given amount of intercepted radiation, indicating that the o...

Ecosystem services are defined as those functions of ecosystems that support (directly or indirectly) human welfare. They occur at multiple scales, from climate regulation and carbon sequestration at the global scale, to flood protection, soil formation and nutrient cycling at local and regional scales (Kremen 2005; Table 1). The MIMES project aims to integrate participatory model building, dat...
