Plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) are known to survive periods of desiccation, an ability that increases the risk of them surviving unintentional transport between countries. To investigate nematode survival in soil subject to prolonged storage, soil collected from a native forest and an organic orchard was stored separately in cupboards at ambient temperature for 36 months. Subsamples were taken...

Abstract Background Trichoderma asperellum (Ascomycota: Hypocreaceae) is a globally recognized soil fungus due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial and plant growth-promoting properties. To increase the availability of local strains, samples from dragon fruit farm in Villanueva (Misamis Oriental, Philippines) were collected baited using insect-baiting technique. Results Using baiting technique, ...

The article is devoted to the study of influence asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits on temperature oil saturation by paraffin. As a result analysis and generalization published works statistical information, empirical dependences paraffin content asphaltenes, resins paraffin, were obtained, which identified for conditions Ural-Volga region Kazakhstan

Common methods for mole control are baiting with earthworms impregnated with thallium sulphate or strychnine, gassing with pellets developing phosphine, and trapping. Seasonal cycles in burrowing activity make it difficult to evaluate results of expensive control campaigns and may give a false impression of efficiency.

The use of food plots, supplemental feeding, and baiting has been a common and legal practice in Texas for many years. There is now controversy as to whether Texas Parks and Wildlife Department should include this extra nutrition as part of their carrying capacity estimates used to determine harvest permits for private landowners. Managers should remember that nutrition is only one component of...

Baiting red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) is an established method of vaccinating foxes against rabies in rural environments. Furthermore, anthelmintic baiting has been demonstrated to reduce the prevalence of the zoonotic tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis in foxes. The recent invasion of foxes into urban areas on continental Europe represents a considerable health risk that calls for the evaluation...

Context House mice (Mus musculus) on temperate Gough Island (6500 ha) are known for their large size, boldness, and tendency to kill prey such as albatross chicks even adults. To remove this threat, a mouse eradication operation was implemented in June–August 2021. How react bait during eradications is not well understood, so we capitalised conducted the first study with wild house an actual er...

the ability of natural clinoptilolite and its modified forms were studied for removal of pahs from n-paraffin. surfactant modified zeolite (smz) was obtained by modifying clinoptilolite with hexadecyltrimethylammonium ion. homoionic forms of zeolite were obtained by ion exchange process using inorganic salts of desirable cations (e.g. ag+, fe3+…). natural clinoptilolite and its cation exchanged...
