Tall fescue and meadow fescue are naturally infected with fungal endophytes, Neotyphodiumcoenophialum and Neotyphodium uncinatum, respectively. Seed traits are an important measureof the effects of the endophytic fungi which has been less addressed. In this study we usedendophyte-infected (EI) and endophyte-free (EF) clones of tall and meadow fescue genotypes inthe field to investigate the effe...

  Background: Although borage ( Borago officinalis L.) is a valuable medicinal plant, no information is available on the responses of this plant to salinity. For this reason, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity .  Objective: Since germination and early growth stage is one of the most critical phases of plant life under salinity condition this experiment was conducte...

Background: The emergence and re-emergence of antibiotic-resistant foodborne bacteria call for concerted efforts, especially in developing countries. Spices have been employed traditionally to improve the aroma and flavour of foods; however, they could  serve as reservoirs for the spread of potential pathogenic organisms. This study aims to investigate the public health implications of antibiot...

Studies on the efficacy of indigenous plant products and cow dung powder lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) in wheat (Triticum aestivum), were conducted to determine effects aforementioned Percent Mortality, Adult Emergence, Weight loss. This experiment was carried out using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). orientation found be maximum control minimum Mustard oil treatmen...

Salinity has been a major problem for world agriculture in recent years, limiting plant production. This study was carried out to determine the effect of salt stress on seedling emergence parameters Dadaş and Helen garden cress cultivars. Three doses (S0: 0 mM NaCl (control), S1: 30 S2: 60 NaCl) salinity level were applied as irrigation their effects (emergence percentage, speed, mean time, dai...

The yield of Bambara groundnut [Vignasubterranea L. (Verdc.)] is extremely low and unpredictable. Erratic yields have been attributed, at least in part, to variable or poor field establishment due seedling emergence. aim this study wasto evaluate under conditions, the effects genotype environment on emergence groundnut. Field experiment was conducted with 15 landraces Northern Southern regions ...

Forced infestation studies were conducted to determine whether northern or southern highbush blueberries, Vaccinium corymbosum L., are hosts for the invasive tephritid fruit flies in Hawaii. Fruit were exposed to gravid female flies of Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel (oriental fruit fly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Mediterranean fruit fly), or Bactrocera cucurbitae Coquillet (melon fly) in scre...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Vector control, using agents of chemical origin, continues to be practiced in the control of vector borne diseases. However, due to some drawbacks including lack of selectivity, environmental contamination, and emergence and spread of vector resistance, development of natural products for vector control has been a priority in this area. In the present study we evaluated t...
