Two field experiments were carried out in El –Kassasin region, Ismailia Governorate during 2009 and 2010 seasons to study the effect of both nitrogen (N) fertilizer (at 0,150,200 and250 kg N fed rates) and selenium (Se) spray (at 0, 20, and 40g fed. rates) on the vegetative growth, tuber yield and chemical composition of Potato plants. Results showed that nitrogen application resulted in an inc...

Five biotic and abiotic inducers namely, (Bio-Arc and Bio-Zaid) and (salicylic acid, K HPO and neem 2 4 oil) were examined for their effectiveness in controlling fungal diseases, improving growth and yield of alfalfa. The field trials have shown that salicylic acid, K HPO and neem oil respectively gave a significant P 0.05 2 4 protection against rust, downy mildew in both tested cvs. Ismailia-1...

Twenty clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from patients admitted to The General Hospital in Ismailia Governorate (Egypt) were examined in this study. We analysed P. aeruginosa ATCC 9027 (as a control strain) and 19 of the isolates after digestion with SpeI restriction endonuclease. After this we conducted a pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and typed the obtained 10 unique...

Bioassays were carried out in the laboratory to determine the virulence of two Beauveria bassiana indigenous isolates on the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella. LC50 and LT50 values were taken as indices for the efficacy of fungal isolates, designated as Bb1 and Bb2, collected from Ismailia governorate in Egypt and isolated from soil and trap larvae of G. mellonella, respectively. The larvae ...
