In 2021, an unprecedented heat event caused widespread damage to tree fruit crops across western North America. a preliminary trial conducted that summer in apple (var. “Fuji”) orchard the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, calcium carbonate-based foliar protectant reduced severe sunburn by 9% and asymmetry 17% but had no other effects on quality, water stress, or leaf gas exchange. With climat...

This study investigated the effects of a combination of calcium and magnesium carbonate intestinal phosphate binders, associated with natural reno-protectant substances (the uraemic toxin binder chitosan, vasoactive peptides and an extract of Astragalus membranaceus) (Pronefra®, Virbac, France) on blood parameters and mineral balance in cats. Ten cats, 2 to 5 years old at day 0, were given the ...

A new carboxylic acid-terminated alkanethiol having bidentate character, 16-(3,5-bis(mercaptomethyl)phenoxy)hexadecanoic acid (BMPHA), was designed as an absorbate and protectant to form thermally stable carboxylic acid-terminated organic thin films on flat gold and nanoparticles, respectively. The structural features of the organic thin films derived from BMPHA were characterized by ellipsomet...

Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is an abundant osmolyte and anti-stress compound produced primarily in marine ecosystems. After its release into the environment, microorganisms can exploit DMSP as a source of sulfur and carbon, or accumulate it as an osmoprotectant. However, import systems for this ecophysiologically important compatible solute, and its stress-protective properties for microo...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) oil on growth performance, hemato-biochemical, and histopathology cypermethrin-intoxicated Nile tilapia. After determining LC50 (96 h) value cypermethrin, cypermethrin added water at a ratio 1:20 this concentration, fish were fed for 42 days. To reduce 1% feed as potential protectant. Growth parameter...

In 2005 the United States Environmental Protection Agency registered spinosad as a grain protectant at 1 μg(AI)/g. The effectiveness of spinosad at 1 μg(AI)/g against many beetle and moth pests of stored grains is well established. In recent years, several psocid species have emerged as economically important pests in various stored-product environments in many countries, including the United S...

This study aims to improve the technology for protecting soybeans from fungal diseases based on new fungicides. The relevance of research is specified by a significant increase in area occupied and need protect crops diseases. experimental site located territory Oryol State Agrarian University (Lavrovo village Region, Russia). crop rotation grain-fallow, predecessor winter wheat. soil type dark...

Moreover, the comparative study of prices in Egypt and even in parts of Egypt (a nome, a toparchy, a village) is rendered very difficult by many peculiar circumstances. This is true, for example, of the prices of such a basic commodity as grain. In the statistical lists compiled by modern scholars the price of grain is shown per artaba, as if the artaba were a constant measure. In fact, as has ...

Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, the maize weevil, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), the saw-toothed grain beetle, and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), the red flour beetle, were exposed for 1, 2, 3, and 6 d at 22 C, 27 C, and 32 C on maize treated with 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, or 4.0 ppm thiamethoxam, a new-generation neonicotenoid insecticide. A second series of tests was conducted on hard winter wheat us...
