The experiment was conducted at crop research farm in the department of agronomy during summer season 2022 on cowpea crop. treatments consisted 3 levels Boron (0.75,1,1.25 kg/ha) and Plant Growth Regulators (GA3 30 ppm, NAA 35 ABA 40 ppm ) as a foliar spray. laid out Randomized block design with 9 replicated “thrice”.0.75 kg/ha soil application combination gibberellic acid spray recorded maximu...

The essential oil from Satureja Khuzestanica Jamzad (SKEO), an endemic plant from Iran, was evaluated for its activity against inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). SKEO was examined on the experimental mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease, which is acetic acid-induced colitis. Prednisolone was used as the standard drug for comparison. Biochemical, macroscopic, and microscopic examinations of ...

BACKGROUND It has been proposed that the expired-air carbon monoxide (CO) threshold for confirming smoking abstinence in clinical practice be reduced below 10 ppm. Optimal thresholds may vary across regions. Data are needed to assess the impact of such a change on claimed success. METHODS A total of 253 smokers who attended the Tanglin quit smoking clinic in Malaysia were followed-up 1, 3 and...

ZnO thin film of 80 nm thickness was deposited by the sol-gel spin coating method on SiO2/Si substrate and subsequently post-annealed at 500°C with a flow of oxygen for 60 min. Crystallographic structure of the sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method while a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) was used to investigate the surface physical morphology ...

Feathers may be problematic to chickens in thermoregulation during heat stress. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of clipping feathers, dietary ascorbic acid supplementation and season on performance of laying chickens. 180 ‘Isa Brown’ (IB) layers of about 30 weeks old were subjected to a 2×2×2 factorial combination of feather conditions (intact and clipping), dietary ascorbic ...

With the recent decline of honey bees, Apis mellifera (L.) (Hymenoptera: Apidae), there is a need for alternative or supplemental crop pollinators, such as Osmia cornifrons (Radoszkowski) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae). However, O. cornifrons propagation could be impeded by a cleptoparasitic mite, Chaetodactylus krombeini Baker. We investigated the effects of formic acid and wintergreen oil on mor...

The species is distributed throughout in India including Andaman & Nicobar. It is highly important medicinal tree species. Its leaves, fruits and bark show antibacterial, antialpha glucosidase and antioxidant property. Due to its h...

An investigation entitled “Influence of foliar spray Brassinosteroids (BR), Salicylic acid (SA) and Gibberellic (GA3) on vegetative flowering parameters Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L) cv. Arpit” was carried out at the Vegetable Research Farm, Department Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology & Science, Prayagraj, (U.P.) - 211007 during year 2018-19 2019-2020. The ex...

Molineria latifolia (Singkut rhizome) is an endemic plant in tropical and humid climates, so it widely distributed several Asian countries. This study determines the antioxidant activity of rhizome ethanol extract isolated compounds. The a strong category with IC50 26.033 ppm. results isolation are known to contain 2,6-dimethoxy-benzoic acid 4-hexyl-2,5-dihydro-2,5-dioxo-3-furanacetic

Klebsiena pneumoniae H12 produced a newly identified extracellular po}ysaccharide in an ethanol medium with a yield of 3.0 g/1. The molar compesition of the polysaccharide was 56.04% galactose, 25.92% glucose, 10.92% galacturonic acid, 3.71% mannose, and 3.37% glucuronic acid. The addition of O.5%-1.5% NaCl increased production. The polysaccharide flocculated with kaolin clay in silspension at ...
