Nursery Method for Damping - off Disease in True Seed Cultivation of Cluster Onion

Use of local material in seed-bed mixes for production of seedling from true potato seed

A comparison between acid seed delinting and fungicide seed treatment in controlling cotton seedling damping-off disease*

Seed decay (rot) and seedling damping-off caused by Rhizoctonia solani are among the most important diseases of cotton which result in the significant yield reduction, application of expensive and harmful chemical fungicides and most importantly contamination of soil and agricultural environment. This study was conducted to investigate the possible efficacy of cotton seed delinting in the reduc...

Performance of novel insecticide seed treatments for managing onion maggot (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) in onion fields

Management of onion maggot, Delia antiqua (Meigen), in onion requires the use of an insecticide applied at planting. Insecticide resistance and a dearth of available products have stimulated an effort to identify new insecticides for onion maggot control, especially chemistries that can be delivered as seed treatments. Onion seeds film-coated with fipronil, spinosad, clothianidin or thiamethoxa...

Effect of Seed Quality and Combination Fungicide-Trichoderma spp. Seed Treatments on Pre- and Postemergence Damping-Off in Cotton.

ABSTRACT Good quality seeds of cotton cultivars often escaped pre-emergence damping-off incited by Pythium spp. and Rhizopus oryzae, and they were resistant to postemergence damping-off incited by Rhizoctonia solani. Poor quality seeds, however, were highly susceptible to both phases of seedling disease and required seed treatment in order to survive. Pre-emergence damping-off incited by Pythiu...

Comparative Research on Optimal Damping Matching of Seat System for an off-Highway Dump Truck

To protect the driver of off-highway dump trucks from the harmful vibration, this paper presents the comparison results to determine the optimal damping of the seat system by different optimization design plans. Three optimization schemes are considered including individually optimizing the damping of the cushion, individually optimizing the damping of the seat suspension, and integrately optim...
