Anchovy oil is a very suitable supplementary ingredient for fish feeds due to the essential fatty acid composition. The acute toxicity of zinc and copper ions for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum 1792) were evaluated by static bioassays. The average weight and lenght of fish used in the zinc experiments were 3,02 ±0.21 g and 6.52 ±0.12 cm, respectively, while the tests with copper ion...

Head lice infestation caused by Pediculus humanus capitis De Geer. (Phthiraptera) is one of the most important public health problem in children worldwide. Currently, head lice resistance to chemical pediculicide are increasing, thus new alternative pediculicides from herb or plant are needed for head lice treatment. The aim of this study were to evaluate toxicity of five herbal extracts from A...

Red whitefly fungus, Aschersonia aleyrodis (Webber) is a fungal pathogen of nymphs blackfly, Aleurocanthus woglumi (Ashby) and whitefly, Dialeurodes citri (Ashmead) on the citrus plant. It used as promising biological control agent. In present study, attempts have been made to check efficacy A. biopesticides for management blackfly under laboratory condition. Probit analysis LC50 values 2nd ins...

in this study, the effects of two metarhizium anisopliae isolates, originally obtained from red palm weevil (rhynchophorus ferrugineus) and a beetle (parandra caspica), on adults of russian wheat aphid diuraphis noxia were studied under laboratory coditions. after a determination of the minimum & maximum concentrations, the adults were treated with conidial concentrations of 1×103 to 1×106 coni...

The citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor), is an important pest of in China, where pesticides are commonly used orchards. In order to reduce the use chemical against P. and development resistance, screening biological control agents has attracted attention students. this study, seven plant essential oils with high toxicity were selected from 40 by leaf-dip bioassay, including lemongrass,...

Tuta absoluta is a pest of importance: quick to disperse and difficult control due the cases resistance insecticide active ingredients. Thus, studies using essential oils (EOs) search for new molecules should be intensified. The objective present study was evaluate toxicity EOs from Citrus aurantifolia (lime), aurantium (petitgrain) bergamia (bergamot) its major compounds against T. in topical ...

Abstract Background and Aims: The Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) is a baculovirus and very effective biological control agent against apple pest, codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. especially for healthy organic apple production and protection.  Not only, screening of CpGV isolates via biochemical variation, but also their biological variation is practically necessary.  Howeve...
