Determining of chilling and heat requirements of olive cultivars growing in Fars Province is important for the selection of cultivars that will exhibit satisfactory growth and development. The purposes of this study were determining the chilling and heat requirements of olive and comparison of Utah and Positive Utah Chill unit (PCU) models for determining the chilling requireme...

Mosquitoes are considered as the most nuisance causing vectors they responsible for a widespread of diseases. Malaria-borne mosquitoes killing two to three million people and infect an estimated hundred or more annually. A host other mosquito-borne diseases including filariasis, yellow fever, dengue, encephalitis kill debilitate hundreds millions more. The present study investigates bio efficac...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of seed invigoration with inorganic nanoparticles on plant growth and yield chilli. Seed nano particles ZnO TiO2 found be beneficial in improving attributes. treatment @ 1300 mg kg-1 900 exhibited increased height, fruits per plant, fruit length, yield, number seeds yield.

The preservative methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI) is a well-known sensitiser and present in most baseline series since at least 20 years. The proportions of MCI/MI are 3:1. MI alone has been used as a preservative in occupational and household products, and cosmetics since less than 10 years. MCI/MI tested at 100 ppm fails to detect a significant percentage of contact-...

The deformation behavior of a two phase (y+ a2) lamellar TiAl alloy reinforced with various amounts of AITi~C carbide platelets has been examined by determining Vickers hardness at room temperature and in the temperature range 900-1300 °C. The compression flow behavior of these materials has also been examined in the semi-solid state. The hardness values for all materials dropped from about 4 G...

The anti-feedant and growth inhibitory effects of seed extracts of custard apple in hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol were tested against neonate and 7 days old larvae of the Khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium, using a feeding bioassay. The LC50 values for hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts were 1195.41, 305.36 and 1446.32 ppm for neonate larvae; 5805, 1300 and 5815 ppm for 7 days ol...
