The biology of the citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama was studied at 258C on four commonly grown citrus and related plants [rough lemon, Citrus jambhiri Lush; sour orange, C. aurantiumL.; grapefruit,C.paradisiMacfadyen; andorange jessamine,Murrayapaniculata(L.) Jack] in the laboratory. The biological characteristics of each life stage are described. The average egg incubation periods on o...

The essential oil constituents of the peel and leaf of Citrus aurantiumL. (Rutaceae) grown in thenorth of Iran, were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Fourteen components representing 99.6% ofthe leafoil were identified. The major compounds were linalool (39.4%), linalyl acetate (38.8%)and a-terpineol (7.2%). Twenty constituents consisting 99.4% of the peeloil were identified.The main components were l...

Introduction: Renal stone formation and the predominant chemical composition are age gender dependent. The most common stones struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate), calcium oxalate, urate, cystine silica. type of kidney worldwide contains calcium. process forming in kidney, bladder, and/or urethra (urinary tract) is called as Urolithiasis. Urinary calculi may cause obstruction, hydronephrosis...

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 ...

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...
