Vectobac and Bactimos corn cob granules were evaluated for control of Aedes species mosquito larvae in woodland pools. No significant differences were seen between the 2 formulations. Both provided greater than 90% control at application rates as low as 100 mg/m2 (0.89 lb/acre) and greater than 98% control at label-specified field application rates (2.5 or 5 lb/acre).

Itaconic acid (IA) is a dicarboxylic acid included in the US Department of Energy's (DOE) 2004 list of the most promising chemical platforms derived from sugars. IA is produced industrially using liquid-state fermentation (LSF) by Aspergillus terreus with glucose as the carbon source. To utilize IA production in renewable resource-based biorefinery, the present study investigated the use of lig...

To efficiently and synchronously separate oil/water mixture adsorbed dyes, corn-cob-covered quartz sand (CCQS) filter media with underwater superoleophobic qualities underoil extremely hydrophobic were fabricated by grafting a corn cob onto the surface of using dip-coating technique. Due to introduction more hydrogen bonds on construction rough structure, oil contact angles water CCQS 150.3~154...

a new anti-corrosion compound, melamine formaldehyde (mf), was formulated by the addition of proper amount of formaldehyde to melamine under specific conditions. this compound was mixed with a novel nano powder, which was extracted from corn cob ash containing sio2 particles, in order to improve its corrosion inhibition efficiency. this inhibitor provides a high level of protection for steel su...

Abstract Demand for sweet corn occurs drastically, especially in big cities. One of the limiting factors growth plants is size plant population and nutrient status soil. Based on this, it necessary to increase yield corn, among others, by setting right spacing applying organic granular fertilizer at dose as a source nutrients. The study was conducted Mandai, Maros, South Sulawesi using randomiz...
