Although marigold (Tagetes patula) is known to produce allelopathic compounds toxic to plant-parasitic nematodes, suppression of Meloidogyne incognita can be inconsistent. Two greenhouse experiments were conducted to test whether marigold is more effective in suppressing Meloidogyne spp. when it is active rather than dormant. Soils infested with Meloidogyne spp. were collected and conditioned i...

The persistence patterns of dimethoate and profenofos in fruits of tomato and cucumber and elimination of their residues through washing or home processing methods were studied. Residues were determined by gas liquid chromatography. Results showed that, the consumable safety time was found to be 10, and 14 days after application on tomato and cucumber. This was found to be enough to reduce the ...

Fishing can drive major ecological change in coastal ecosystems and is typically examined through top-down trophic impacts. However, the massive removal of biomass also disrupt key bottom-up processes, though how these effects shape poorly understood. Here, we roles two species commercially exploited sea cucumbers thought to promote primary productivity nutrient-poor environments nutrient provi...

in recent years, farming section of south khorasan province faces different limitations such as increasing shortage of water resources and continuous reduction of weather showers.considering consecutive droughts and water crisis in agricultural plain of the province, it is necessary to use water resources optimally and increase productivity of water shortage input. comparison of water productiv...

The present study was conducted to assess the risk to human health by microbial load and heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd and Pb) through the intake of locally grown vegetables irrigated by metal contaminated water and waste water in Delhi and NCR region. Twenty-two varieties of vegetables grown in the agricultural land were collected for analysis. The results revealed that concentrations of co...

Cucumber is a species appreciated in cooking, addition to providing various nutrients for health. In view of this, it important that research on its growth carried out, prioritizing statistical analyzes effectively demonstrate the results. The objective was verify differences by analyzing variance and nonlinear models, characterizing production, early production rate cultivars cucumber using mo...

the main objective in production of any rainfed crop, including barley farming is to increase water productivity along with stability in the production of the rainfed crop through improvement of the agronomic management including limited single irrigation (si) and sowing date (sd). in order to determine optimal si management and limited water allocation scenarios, a field experiment was conduct...

abstract in order to study the effects of different irrigation management on water productivity of local, improved and hybrid rice varieties an experiment was carried out on a split plot design with 3 replications. the varieties were splited on 5 irrigation methods (i.e. full irrigation, awd, 5, 8 and 11 day irrigation interval) at rice research institute of iran, rasht during cropping season o...

Efficacy against the sweetpotato whitefly (SPWF) Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) of an insecticidal soap, two horticultural oils (one vegetable and the other petroleum based) and 15 detergents was evaluated under greenhouse conditions. Applications were directed to the underside of infested zucchini squash, tomato, or poinsettia leaves. Live nymphs were distinguished by their ability to deposit hone...
