Meloidogyne christiei n. sp. is described and illustrated from turkey oak (Quercus laevis) in Sanlando Park, Altamonte Springs, Florida. This new nematode species has a distinctive perineal pattern commonly with a high, squarish arch and coarse broken striae which tend to diverge at various angles, especially in and above the anal area. Female labial disc is indented, forming four points or pro...

Citrus canker and Huanglongbing (HLB) are citrus diseases that represent a serious threat to the citrus production worldwide and may cause large economic losses. In this work, we combined fluorescence imaging spectroscopy (FIS) and a machine learning technique to discriminate between these diseases and other ordinary citrus conditions that may be present at citrus orchards, such as citrus scab ...

The stock solution 10% and half 5% of three oils namely; mineral oil (Diver 97 % EC), plant marjoram (Origanum majorana L.) orange (Citrus aurantium L.), as well two species bacteria Bacillus megaterium BTS1 (Bacillus poylmyxa)at concentrations showed that nematicidal activity against egg-mass second stage juveniles Meloidogyne incognitaKofoid in vitro experiments. Egg hatching juvenile mortali...

The influence of different initial inoculum densities of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica on the growth of sage (Salvia officinalis), root-knot development and nematode multiplication was investigated 90 days after inoculation under greenhouse conditions. With the increase in the nematode initial inoculum densities, shoot fresh/dry weight, shoot/root length and root fresh/dry weight ...

Dehydrated citrus pulp and citrus pulp-protein supplements were evaluated as potential supplements for a preconditioning program. The supplements compared were no supplement, citrus pulp alone, citrus pulp with urea, and citrus pulp with added UIP. Supplemented cattle produced greater gains than unsupplemented cattle. Citrus pulp with added UIP produced the greatest ADG (0.95 lb/hd/d) whereas c...

Citrus oil is a clear volatile oil with a pleasant pungent odor. The material furnished for these experiments was extracted from citrus peel and is double distilled. Citrus peel oil mixed with dehydrated gum turpentine in the proportions of 80 per cent and 20 per cent respectively, has been used commercially as a deodorant and an insect repellant. Because of its penetrating properties citrus oi...

Citrus contains nutrients and phytochemicals that may be beneficial for health. We collected citrus production and consumption data and estimated the amount of these compounds that are consumed. We then compared the amounts of citrus and citrus-derived compounds used in studies that suggest a health benefit to the amounts typically found in citrus. Data is scarce, but suggests that citrus consu...
