to evaluate the effect of metarhizium anisopliae and trichoderma harzianum on root knot nematode (meloidogyne javanica) in tomato, experiments was performed under controlled as well as greenhouse conditions. volatile and non-volatile tests showed that there is no inhibitory effect against every one of each biocontrol agents. on the larval mortality and inhibition of egg hatching, a laboratory t...

This new regulation, under the Environmental Management Act, is anticipated to come into effect on January 1, 2009. The Environmental Management Act, brought into force in July 2004, is a key environmental statute in British Columbia. Amendments to the Act, currently before the Legislature, would provide enabling powers to regulate the management of greenhouse gases. The proposed Landfill Gas R...

Shading the greenhouses is necessary in summer to reduce the solar radiation load. This however generates a considerable amount of thermal radiation heat load that needs to be removed via cooling systems. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different shading configurations on the solar and thermal radiation in a greenhouse. Nets at four different locations were employed to shade the roof...

Greenhouse and field microplot studies were conducted to compare soybean shoot and root growth responses to root penetration by Heterodera glycines (Hg) and Meloidogyne incognita (Mi) individually and in combination. Soybean cultivars Centennial (resistant to Hg and Mi), Braxton (resistant to Mi, susceptible to Hg), and Coker 237 (susceptible to Hg and Mi) were selected for study. In the greenh...

Over the last few years, electric energy demand in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has increased many folds due to several factors including population, industrialization, economic activities, and urbanization. The main source power generation KSA is burning petroleum products. Almost one third greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are contributed from sector, mainly, by diesel natural gas. As a result,...

Abstract. To track progress towards keeping warming well below 2 °C, as agreed upon in the Paris Agreement, comprehensive and reliable information on anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is required. Here we provide a dataset GHG 1970–2019 with broad country sector coverage. We build from recent releases “Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research” (EDGAR) CO2 fossil ...

The present work has developed a methodology for studying natural ventilation in Mediterranean greenhouses by means of sonic anemometry. In addition, specific calculation programmes have been designed to enable processing and analysis of the data recorded during the experiments. Sonic anemometry allows us to study the direction of the airflow at all the greenhouse vents. Knowing through which v...

Gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, photosynthetic end products and related enzymes in source leaves in response to low sink demand after girdling to remove the root sink were assessed in young apple trees (Malus pumila) grown in two greenhouses with different air temperatures for 5 days. Compared with the non-girdled control in the low-temperature greenhouse (diurnal maximum air temperatur...
