Studies of pesticide residues in tomatoes and cucumbers from Kazakhstan and the associated health risks

The aim of the present study was to assess the level of pesticide residues in vegetables in the Almaty Region of Kazakhstan and to determine the potential health risks associated with the exposures to these pesticides. A total of 82 samples of cucumbers and tomatoes from top agro-based market and greenhouses were analysed using a gas chromatography-micro electron capture detector/nitrogen-phosp...

Effect of cropping system on cotton biomass accumulation and yield formation in double–cropped wheat–cotton

Wheat–cotton double cropping practices on a large scale in cotton belt of the Yellow RiverValley and the Yangtze River Valley in China. Field experiments were conducted to determinethe effects of wheat–cotton double cropping on cotton biomass accumulation and yieldformation during 2011/12 and 2012/13 growing seasons. Two cotton cultivars, Siza 3 (mid–latematurity) and CCRI 50 (early maturity), ...

Gynodioecism in Cucumbers.

HE standard cultivars of cucumbers, Cucumis sativus L., are monoecious. These monoecious plants are male early in development and female later. The standard races exhibit marked differences in the expression of monoecism, ranging from weak to strong male tendency. Available information suggests that these racial differences reflect genetic variations governing rate of sex conversion during plan...
