Oebalus poecilus (paddy bug) is a destructive rice pest in Guyana that currently controlled with synthetic chemical pesticides. Increasing resistance rates and farmer's overuse of pesticides have resulted economic ecological issues for Guyanese farmers. Amid growing concerns, this experiment aimed to investigate the use alternative botanical extracts from leaves Momordica charantia (Baan-Carail...

The utilization of natural fibre-based biodegradable polymers has expanded in the present circumstances since fibres are relatively inexpensive, recyclable, lighter, nonflammable, and harmless. However, hydrophilic nature is most serious issue. To address this issue, current study was applied to enhance material characteristics hybrid composites strengthened by CGF nanosilica powder. accomplish...

<p>Biduri (<em>Calotropis gigantea</em>) was a plant with several benefits, namely as medicinal and textile material. Biduri wild that could grow in various types of soil conditions. The existence biduri still not fully utilized by many people. So it necessary to develop the cultivation technology take advantage this plant. This research conducted at field laboratory Jumantono...

Calotropis gigantea stems (CGS) has the potential to use as biosorbent for adsorption of Cu(II) ions. In this study, CGS (CGSB) was prepared by drying and grounding. The effect independent variables on capacity were investigated. As result, maximum 53.457 mg/g obtained optimal condition which initial ions concentration 567.47 mg/L, CGSB size less than 230 mesh, mass 1 g, temperature 27 oC, pH 5...

Nowadays, Technological development of human beings is extremely related to information. This is proved on the manners and areas that life was computerized such as in trade, government services, medicine, education, learning etc.Nevertheless, the fast development of designing information systems has created several sub-systems in multiple contexts which are conceived by different communities an...

Medicinal plants are important source of potentially useful structures for the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents. The present study was aimed to evaluate the antifungal effect of partially purified C. gigantea latex extract on some human pathogenic fungi. Ethanolic extract of the latex were tested in vitro against fungi strains. The inhibitory effect was assessed by disc diffusion me...
