effect of nano titanium oxide, nano zinc and multiwall carbon nano tube on yield and yield components of green gram was carried out in kohkiloyeh-boyrahmad province, iran with 30 degrees 45' n and 50 degrees 44' in 2013 growing seasons. the experiment was arranged as factorial in a completely randomize block design with three replications, treatments including: four concentrations (ze...

Summer annual weed species in northern Australian summer fallows are frequently present at low densities and, increasingly, glyphosate-resistant, creating the need for alternative herbicides site-specific control. Alternative non-selective herbicide treatments effective on problematic fallow weeds; however, many yet to be evaluated as (spot spraying) treatments. This study aimed identify that c...

Background: The application of polyamines as a plant growth substance with effect on a wide range of plant growth and development processes include cell division, flowering, senescence delay, membrane stability, absorb active radicals and different stress tolerance and polyamines Function as a anti-senescence and anti-stress agents in the plant and on the other hand the competitiveness of their...

Given the stagnating progress in fight against malaria, there is an urgent need for area-wide integrated vector management strategies to complement existing intra-domiciliary tools, i.e., insecticide-treated bednets and indoor residual spraying. In this study, we describe a pilot trial using drones aerial application of Aquatain Mosquito Formulation (AMF), monomolecular surface film with larvic...

zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized using nigella sativa L. seed extract. Nigella sativa L. is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the Ranunculaceae family. Concentration of plant extract plays a vital role in the synthesis of nanoparticles zinc oxide. Nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This experiment was conducted i...

Imidacloprid is the most widely used insecticide in the world. In this study, we used spraying methods to simulate field exposures of bees to formulated imidacloprid (Advise® 2FL) alone and binary mixtures with seven pesticides from different classes. Synergistic toxicity was detected from mixtures of Advise (58.6 mg a.i./L imidacloprid)+Domark (512.5 mg a.i. /L tetraconazole), Advise+Transform...

this study was conducted in the research field of iranian research institute of plant protection in karaj as strip split plots with three replications. the first factor: tillage and no-tillage, and the second factor: herbicide: glyphosate 6 l/ha, 2,4-d + mcpa 2l/ha, glyphosate + 2,4-d + mcpa (6 + 2 l/ha), glyphosate 3 l/ha, 2,4-d + mcpa 1 l/ha, glyphosate + 2,4-d + mcpa (3 + 1 l/ha), and contro...

postharvest losses are a limiting factor on storage life of many vegetables and fruits including citrus. therefore a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of thermal treatments and herbal thyme oil spray on sanguinello blood oranges in golestan province in the northern part of iran. the tests have been performed one day after harvesting, under four different treatments: hot water at 55˚c ...
