Many foodborne outbreaks of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection have been associated with the consumption of contaminated vegetables. On-farm contaminations through contaminated manure or irrigation water application were considered likely sources of the pathogen for several outbreaks. Field studies were done to determine the survival of E. coli O157:H7 on two subterranean crop...

introduction artificial and natural radionuclides are found in diverse environmental compartments, such as water, soil, rocks, vegetables, animals, and human body tissues. as such, humans and environments are at constant exposure of these radiation types. in this research investigated specific activities of radionuclide and dose assessment of some species of mushrooms. materials and methods in ...

Using self-made organic composts i.e., rice hull compost (RHC), straw (RSC), sawdust (SDC), and Vermicompost (V) an experiment was conducted to evaluate their responses on mineral nutrition of post-harvest soils under field condition. The total nitrogen contents among the treatments ranged from 9.6 - 21.4, phosphorus: 1.1 – 4.42, potassium: 3.86 7.27, sulfur: 11.9 19.7, calcium: 3.30 11.87 magn...

Garden cress is a vegetable crop in the Brassicaceae family that appreciated for its nutraceutical and taste-giving components minimally processed food chains. Due to very short cycle, which depends on range of production from microgreens baby-leaf vegetables, this threatened by soil-borne pathologies developing within initial stages germination emergence. This study aims evaluate suppressive b...
