Veech (7) reported that dif lubenzuron had ovicidal activity against Meloidogyne incognita and suggested that this activity could be impor tan t in developing new control strategies. Radewald et al. (5) and Birchfield (1) respectively provided prel iminary evidence that oxamyl suppresses reproduct ion of M. incognita and Rotylenchulus reniformis. This study was conducted to determine the effect...

The root rot disease complex of Meloidogyne hapla Chitwood, 1949 (Nemata: Meloidogynidae) and Rhizoctonia solani Kühn was investigated in 2021 under controlled conditions with different applications on tomato. Three week-old seedlings (cv. Alberty F1) were inoculated M. and/or R. according to priority the applications. After sixty days, parameters plant height, wet weight, numbers gall egg mass...

ABSTRACT- Greenhouse experiment was conducted in factorial experiment arranged as a completely randomized design (CRD) to evaluate the effect of Glomus intraradices, Pseudomonas fluorescence and soil drying on different forms of potassium (K) and the changes of clay minerals in a calcareous soil after maize planting.

Micropropagation by organogenesis is an efficient in vitro propagation method for Matthiola incana. Starting from seeds, apical bud ...

The aim of this study is to assess the risk of contamination by Salmonella Typhimurium of pigs by nose-to-nose contact or the airborne route. Thirty twelve-week-old SPF pigs were divided into 4 groups housed in 4 different rooms: the first room contained Salmonella-free control pigs (n = 4), the second room had 10(3) CFU S. Typhimurium inoculated pigs (n = 5) and non-inoculated "contact" pigs (...

Following experimental inoculation of 3-week-old turkeys with different titres (106, 104, 103, 102 and 101 egg infectious dose (EID50)) of A/ostrich/Italy/984/2000 H7N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV), the selected tissues and organs were examined for pathological changes. Tissue samples from different organs that obtained from dead and sacrificed birds were fixed in 10% neutral...
