In a monitoring study residue levels of organochlorines (OC), synthetic pyrethroids (SP), organophosphates (OP) and carbamates were determined in unprocessed and processed three vegetables viz. brinjal, cauliflower and okra to know the residue levels and evaluate the effect of different household processes (washing and boiling/cooking) on reduction of residues. Samples were procured from local ...

Investigation was made to confirm the stability of drought and salt stress tolerance in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) mutants after regeneration and micropropagation. The N-nitroso-N-ethyleurea (NEU) and N-nitroso-Nmethylurea (NMU) induced mutants of cauliflower were created and screened for drought and salt stress tolerance. The highly tolerant mutants were selected, regenerate...

The consumption of diets formulated with Cruciferae vegetables, e.g., cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts, has been shown to result in a stimulation of the intestinal and hepatic microsomal enzyme systems in rats. This study was designed to determine if this increase in intestinal and hepatic microsomal enzyme activity affected the hepatic response to polybrominated biphenyls (PBB). Afte...

Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is an important vegetable crop for human nutrition. We characterized 192 cauliflower accessions from the USDA and IPK genebanks with genotyping by sequencing (GBS). They originated from 26 different countries and represent about 44% of all cauliflower accessions in both genebanks. The analysis of genetic diversity revealed that accessions formed two...

Pesticide residues in different crops, including food grains and vegetables are burning issues Bangladesh. Therefore, the present study was conducted to analyze organophosphorus pesticide three popular (cauliflower, hyacinth bean yard long bean) collected from five local markets of Narsingdi district The vegetable samples were extracted cleaned up using Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged Saf...

Raw hospital wastewater is a source of excessive heavy metals and pharmaceutical pollutants. In water-stressed countries such as Pakistan, the practice unsafe reuse by local farmers for crop irrigation major concern. our previous work, we developed low-cost bacterial consortium treatment method. Here, in two-part study, first aimed to find what physico-chemical parameters were most important di...

The objective of this investigation was to assess the direct and residual effect graded levels boron (B) on growth, yield quality parameters crops in cauliflower-cowpea-okra cropping sequence. For experimentation, cauliflower grown as a test crop B fertilization while cowpea okra were succeeding fertilization. study revealed an incremental trend plant physiological corresponding escalating leve...

A rapid, simple and an efficient method for the determination of indoxacarb in cauliflower and soil samples was developed and validated using QuEChERS technique (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe). Recoveries at four different spiking concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg·kg ranged from 87% to 96% were achieved with good repeatability and RSD of 1% 6%. The average initial de...
