چکیده
Mortality of rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.) caused by Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin alone and in combination with a neonicotinoid insecticide, acetamiprid was evaluated in laboratory bioassays. Spray application of M. anisopliae alone at a spore concentration of 6 x 10 conidia/ml required 6 days to cause 10 percent mortality whereas 4 x 10 conidia/ml required 8 days to cause 10 percent mortality. Acetamiprid alone at a concentration of 30.00 μg/dl required 96h to cause 10% mortality and at 20.00 μg/dl required 120 h to cause 20% mortality. In combination with acetamiprid, M. anisopliae killed S.oryzae significantly faster than without acetamiprid. M. anisopliae at a spore concentration of 3 x 10 conidia/ml with 7.50 μg/dl acetamiprid killed 100 percent of the S. oryzae in 96 h and at 2 x 10 conidia/ml with 5.00 μg/dl acetamiprid killed 100 percent in 120 h. S. oryzae, M. anisopliae acetomiprid combination resulted in higher mortality. Statistical analysis demonstrated synergistic interaction between these two insecticides. S.M.

Seasonal variations of microbial community in a full scale oil field produced water treatment plant
This study investigated the microbial community in a full scale anaerobic baffled reactor and sequencing batch reactor system for oil-produced water treatment in summer and winter. The community structures of fungi and bacteria were analyzed through polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and Illumina high-throughput sequencing, respectively. Chemical oxygen demand eff...
متن کاملComparison of dyeing of polyester fibers with natural dye and bio-mordant
In this study, dyeing of two regenerated polyester fibers, poly-trimethylene terephthalate (PTT) and poly-lactic acid (PLA), with natural dyes were compared with that of poly-ethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber. Lac was used as the primary natural colorant while Catechu was chosen as a natural color that can also act as a biomordant. The effects of temperature, initial pH of dye bath and dyeing ...
متن کاملTreatment of Real Paper-Recycling Wastewater in a Novel Hybrid Airlift Membrane Bioreactor (HAMBR) for Simultaneous Removal of Organic Matter and Nutrients
In this study, a novel integrated Hybrid Airlift Membrane Bioreactor (HAMBR) composed of oxic, anoxic, and anaerobic zones was developed to simultaneously remove organic matter and nitrogen from real paper-recycling wastewater. The removal efficiencies of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), ammonium, nitrite, nitrate and Total Nitrogen (TN) for permeate and supernatant were in the range of ...

Background: The use of chemicals is essential in education resulting in exposure to these pollutant in a variety of chemical and research laboratories. Chemical contaminants in chemical laboratories are in different forms and chemical exposure risk assessment is important for choosing appropriate controls in protecting the health of operators, experts and students. For risk assessment in chemic...
متن کاملA novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for decolorization and degradation of Congo red
Congo red is a synthetic azo-dye dye with many industrial applications. The effluents containing azo dyes are causing several environmental hazards and thus should be treated prior to their discharge. The present work investigates the possible use of a novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for the decolorization of Congo red dye. The effect of different parameters including contact time...
