Abstract Background The banana stem weevil, Odoiporus longicollis (Olivier), is a serious threat to cultivation world over. Since food crop, the use of naturally infecting biological control agents could be an effective alternative manage insect pest instead harmful chemicals. Also, efficacy entomopathogenic fungi against O. was used in bioassay. Results Among Beauveria bassiana isolates tested...

The effects of fruit bagging treatments with seven different types bags on the physicochemical characteristics three table grape cultivars: RuiduZaohong (RDZH), RuiduHongyu (RDHY), and RuiduHongmei (RDHM) were investigated. Headspace-solid-phase micro-extraction combined gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was used to determine compositions monoterpenes in fruit. results showed...

The chemical composition of the Hydrolate of Citrus aurantium L. (Rutaceae) flowers (neroli) grown in Iran, and two commercial hydrolates were analyzed by GC/MS. Thirty compounds (90.3%) were identified in the Hydrolate by the use of laboratory apparatus, thirty-eight compounds (83.4%) in the Hydrolate from the traditional method and fifteen compounds (98.3%) in the industrially produced sample...
