Flowering Dynamics and Pollinator Visitation of Oilseed Echium (Echium plantagineum)
Echium (Echium plantagineum L.) is an alternative oilseed crop in summer-wet temperate regions that provides floral resources to pollinators. Its seed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as stearidonic acid, which is desired highly by the cosmetic industry. Seeds were sown in field plots over three years in western Minnesota in spring (early-sown) or early summer (late-sown), and flower ab...
متن کاملEffects of Echium plantagineum L. bee pollen on basophil degranulation: relationship with metabolic profile.
This study aimed to evaluate the anti-allergic potential of Echium plantagineum L. bee pollen and to characterize its primary metabolites. The activity of E. plantagineum hydromethanolic extract, devoid of alkaloids, was tested against β-hexosaminidase release in rat basophilic leukemic cells (RBL-2H3). Two different stimuli were used: calcium ionophore A23187 and IgE/antigen. Lipoxygenase inhi...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of a Microwave Weed Killer Device for Weed Control Applications
In this paper, the design and the results of a microwave radiation system for agriculture applications is discussed. The system is fabricated and successfully tested on weed seeds. The device, which uses a commercial 1 kW magentron, proved to be effective for preventing the germination control of popular weeds of Iran. Seven weed species were tested separately by using this system and then the ...
متن کاملPopulation genetics of Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) and implications for biological control.
Green lacewings are insects with great potential to be use in the biological control of agricultural pests, but relatively few studies have attempted to understand the genetic structure of these agents, especially those of predatory insects. The purpose of this study was to characterize genetically populations of C. externa using sequences of subunit I of the cytochrome oxidase, a mitochondrial...
متن کاملImpact evaluation of weed biological control agents - best practice guide
While confirming establishment, prevalence and abundance of released agents over space and time is a crucial milestone for any biological control Post-release impact evaluation is crucial to understanding the overall success rate of a biological control program. Here the effects of grazing, herbicides and biological control agents (Longitarsus echii and Mogulones larvatus) are being monitored o...
