Use of antibiotics and other chemicals to combat disease outbreaks has been a bottleneck for the sustainable growth shrimp industry. Among various replacements proposed, organic acid (OA) their salts (OS) are commonly used by farmers feed millers. However, in free forms, requirement is very high (2–3 kg/MT) as they tend disassociate before reaching hindgut. The dosage can be reduced microencaps...

M alignant mesotheliomas of the pleural and peritoneal cavity have long been recognized as tumors unique in man. They were first described before the turn of the century although their causation at that time was totally obscure. Now, we are aware that a substantial proportion of the mesotheliomas occurring in the Western world result from exposure to amphibole asbestos. In this brief survey, I ...

Impact of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in sugarcane productivity was assessed through a field experiment from plant and ratoon sugarcane in Tamil Nadu, India. Control, 12.5 and 18.75 kg ha-1 of AMF along with 75% and 100% of phosphorous application were triedas treatments. 18.75 kg ha-1 AMF applied plots showed significant difference in germination percentage, tiller number, internode...

Introduction: Gingival recession (GR) is a common aesthetic problem associated with the cervical wear of the tooth structure and dentin hypersensitivity. Recently, periodontal-restorative approaches have been proposed for the management of GR associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), which has proven effective. The present study aimed to evaluate this method.  <stro...

With economic development agricultural systems in the Global South transform from subsistence farming to higher productivity with market integration and increase rural income food security. In Nepal, agriculture continues provide livelihoods for two-thirds of predominantly population, largely at a subsistence-level. Rice is staple covers largest land area but yields are relatively low, an annua...

Global wheat production is likely to be affected by projected warming and water scarcity. As climate changes faster than breeding, we focused on genotypic environmental effects grain quality of present cultivars. To mimic the continuous challenges farmers face given erratic rainy seasonal temperature pattern East-Mediterranean, 15 commercial hard spring (HSW) cultivars were evaluated in Gilat R...
