The taxonomy of Podarcis is complex and unstable. Based on DNA sequence data the species of Podarcis falls into four main groups that have substantial geographical conherence (western island group, southwestern group, Italian group an...

Some dialkyl alkylphosphonates and dialkyl phenylphosphonates were synthesized by the reactions between trialkyl phosphite and alkyl/aryl halide in the presence of benzene. The synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, thin layer chromatography (TLC), fourier –transform infrared, ( 1 H, 13 C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques. In vitro fungicidal ac...

Background: Cluster bean crop is affected by various biotic and abiotic stresses which are responsible for its poor quality low yield resulting in severe economic losses. Among the foliar diseases, powdery mildew caused Leveillula taurica an important disease causing losses ranging from 50-55 per cent. So, there a need to formulate suitable management practices against mildew. Methods: Field ex...
