A study was conducted in 2010 to investigate the effects of crude oil contaminated soil on biomass accumulation inJatropha curcas seedlings in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria. Oil levels used were 0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0% w/w. The trial was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications and monitored for 12 weeks after transplanting. Results showed that contamination...

Abstract Field studies were conducted to determine the effects of synthetic auxin herbicides at simulated exposure rates applied ‘Covington’ sweetpotato propagation beds on quality nonrooted stem cuttings (slips). Treatments included diglycolamine salt dicamba, 2,4-D choline plus nonionic surfactant (NIS), and glyphosate 1/10, 1/33, or 1/66 a 1X application rate (560 g ae ha −1 1,065 choline, 1...

In this study, the effects of different light conditions on growth pepper seedlings and development these after transplanting were explored. Based control light, grown under radiation with proportions added blue, UV-A, far-red for 18 days. Compared control, supplementation UV-A increased seedling height whereas blue decreased. Blue treatments compactness index while have obvious inhibitory effe...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the characteristics and effects of allogenic conjunctiva and conjunctival extracellular matrix (ECM) as the substitute of conjunctival tissues. BACKGROUND The symptoms of the frequently-occurring conjunctival injury not only make people ugly, but also lead to blindness, which seriously endanger the quality of life of the patients. METHODS The bulbar conjunctivas of...

chlormequat (cycocel or ccc), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in brassica oleracea cultivar ‘kamome white’ and ‘nagoya red’. different concentrations of ccc (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/l) were sprayed and drenched on plants 40 days after transplanting. data were recorded the 60 and 90 days after transplanting. the 1500 mg/l of ccc resulted in abou...
