Acetonic extracts of melon pumpkin, Cucurbita maxima (Duchesne), Sweet Orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) and Sour Orange, Citrus aurantium (L.), were evaluated for insecticidal activity against adults of three stored product pests viz., Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), by filter paper diffusion method (direct contact application) and fumigati...

Domesticated Cucurbita has been remarked as one of the plant genera with highest diversity in color, shape and fruit dimensions. Their economic cultural values are related to consumption mature or immature fruits, seeds, flowers, use decoration. The wild ancestor C. maxima, ssp. andreana an actual scattered disjointed distribution, associated megafauna seed disperser syndrome. It was domesticat...

The watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. and Nakai] cultivar Crimson Tide and 7 different gourd genotypes [Cucurbita maxima, C. moschata, Luffa cylindrica, Benincasa hispida, Lagenaria siceraria landraces (Skp and Birecik), and L. siceraria hybrid (FRGold)] with rootstock potential for watermelon were grown under saline conditions (0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 dS m) to investigate the response...

Substantiation of the averaging method for differential equations with maxima is presented. Two theorems on substantiates for differential equations with maxima are established.
