There is renewed interest in ethanol production, and sugarcane promises to be a sustainable ethanol source. Few studies have been done on the effect of season on biomass production, and no studies have quantified yields of a range of cultivars in terms of intercepted radiation. The objective of this study was therefore to assess how season affects the biomass yields of a number of commercial cu...

Codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a major fruit feeding pest of apples. Understanding susceptibility differences of various apple cultivars to CM oviposition is an important step in developing resistant varieties as well as monitoring and management strategies for this pest in apple orchards planted with mixed-cultivars. In this context, oviposition preferenc...

Studies were conducted at the horticulture unit of Sokoine University of Agriculture, Morogoro, Tanzania, to assess the incidence and effect of mango weevil, Cryptorhynchus mangiferae (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), infestation on mango, Mangifera indica L., seed viability. Three polyembryo mango cultivars ('Sindano nyeusi', 'Sindano nyeupe', and 'Dodo') as well as three monoembryo mango cult...

Soluble proteins were extracted from seed and seedlings of eleven oats cultivars to analyze the protein profile through SDS PAGE method. In seed protein electrophoresis totally 14 bands were observed, in these six bands were common to all cultivars. Based on the seed protein banding pattern two of these cultivars were differentiated easily. The unique band at Rf value 0.151 was common for all c...

The aim of this study was to compare the content of carotenoids in seventeen cultivars of carrots grown in Poland. Conventional orange cultivars with rarely grown were compared: white, yellow and purple with yellow core cultivars. To determine the content of carotenoids, extracts from lyophilized carrot roots were prepared and analyzed by spectrophotometric as well as HPLC methods with DAD dete...

Commercial peanut cultivars were evaluated for host suitability and sensitivity to Ditylenchus destructor. All cultivars were susceptible. Approximately 94% of the final population were in the pods. Highest Pf occurred at harvest on early maturing cultivars. Damage occurred on four of six cuttivars at Pi = 100/3 liters of soil and all six cultivars at Pi = 1,000. Norden and Selmani were the mos...
