Sunn pest (Eurygaster spp.) is a highly harmful insect species for Wheatgrass. Especially with the emphasis it makes in herbal products, causes wheat to lose both its bread and pasta qualities. This study presents an example of model that approximates yield irrigated field Batman province according criteria selected through fuzzy logic. In modelling, firstly parameters affecting were determined...

Abstract Background Wheat is one of the main food for around 2 billion people worldwide. Among biological stressors, Eurygaster integriceps Puton a damaging insect in wheat and barley fields, which harms them both quantitatively (by overwintered adults) qualitatively instar nymphs). The ovipositional new generation’s production control are pivotal approaches to severe damages Sunn-pest. Methods...

The combinatorial interaction of a receptor kinase and a modified CLE peptide is involved in several developmental processes in plants, including autoregulation of nodulation (AON), which allows legumes to limit the number of root nodules formed based on available nitrogen and previous rhizobial colonization. Evidence supports the modification of CLE peptides by enzymes of the hydroxyproline O-...

For the synthesis of biocomposite materials for useful applications, it becomes necessary to modify the surface of natural fibers through chemical treatments. Morphology, structure and properties of natural fibers have an obvious effect on the mechanical properties of the biocomposite materials. It is thus necessary to know the morphology, thermal stability and crystalline behavior of original ...

Plant parasitic nematodes, Meloidogyne javanica in particular, cause significant yield losses in sugarcane crops in South Africa. The chemicals at present available for nematode control are expensive and potentially detrimental to the environment. It has been reported that various types of crops reduce the numbers of plant parasitic nematodes. Seven green manure crops (sunn hemp, marigold, oats...
