One component of developing a systematic approach for deployment of trap crops is to understand how the trap crop modifies pest behavior. Glossy-leafed collards, Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala (Brassicaceae), were evaluated as a potential trap crop for diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), because they are attractive to P. xylostella adults and are a poor ho...

The present work aims to explore the potential improve quality of purslane microgreens by combining water salinity and LED lighting during their cultivation. Purslane plants were grown in a growth chamber with light insulated compartments, under different sources on 16 h d−1 photoperiod—fluorescent lamps (FL) two treatments, including red blue (RB)) spectrum red, far (RB+IR) lights spectrum—whi...

Synthesized composites were characterized through UV-spectrophotometer, XRD, SEM, EDX and FTIR analysis. SEM images confirmed surface morphology of ordinary mesoporous nano silica (mNs) Fe & Zn embedded mNs. In XRD pattern mNs peaks absence indicate that synthesized by sol-gel method was amorphous whereas reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in crystalline form. spectra loaded rGO showed encapsulat...

Purslane has many benefits as food or raw material for medicine. It is rich in beneficial compounds, such omega-3 and vitamins. However, it not been cultivated yet. Organic input cultivation essential to ensure safety humans. Using organic inputs can avoid the yield from chemical biological contaminants that threaten health. Thus, source of growing media fertilizer must be considered. Because u...

in order to effect of different mulch materials and optimal chemical, organic and biological fertilizer management on ecological agriculture characteristics in common purslane (portulaca oleracea l.) in khuzestan conditions, a filed experiment was conducted at experimental field of ramin agriculture and natural resources university in ahwaz, south-western of iran, during 2010- 2011 growing seas...

In Indonesia, cruciferous cabbage is known as Ceciwis (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata f. alba Alef), a vegetable that can be consumed diet from Tegal one of the plants rich in flavonoids and phenol proposed has an antidyslipidemic ac-tivity. The purpose this study to see how affect lipid profile Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) fed high-fat diet. Method: Rats divided into seven groups: norma...
