Introduction: The larvicidal activity of oils, fatty acids, and methyl esters of Solanum lycocarpum fruit against Culex quinquefasciatus is unknown. Methods: The larvicidal activity of samples of ripe and unripe fruit from S. lycocarpum was evaluated against third and fourth instar larvae of C. quinquefasciatus. Results: The oils, fatty acids, and methyl esters of S. lycocarpum showed the great...

salt stress negatively impacts crops yield throughout the world. nine varieties of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) were screened for salt stress tolerance by measuring in-vitro growth of the aerial plant parts, as well as roots. salt stress was evaluated by adding 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm of nacl to murashige- skoog (ms) medium and compared to ms medium without nacl. plant length and ...

acid extract of solanum tuberosum was tested as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 m hcl and h2so4 media using different techniques: weight loss (in different temperatures viz., 303, 313 and 323 k), potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and sem techniques. the studies reveal that the plant extract act as good inhibitors in both the acid media and better...

the effect of gibberellic acid (ga3) on jerusalem cherry (solanum pseudocapsicum l.) was evaluated at pot cultivation conditions. this study was performed in factorial test based on complete random design plan and 4 repeats with 12 treatments. the main factor was included spraying, drip and spraying + drip. secondary factor was included concentrations of ga3 at 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg.l-1 levels...

objective: hypercholesterolemia is the greatest risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. the present study is conducted to evaluate the lipid lowering activity of leaves and fruits of solanum macrocarpon, a vegetable, on wistar rats experimentally rendered hypercholesterolemic by triton x-100. materials and methods: the leaves and fruits were administered (p.o.) for 7 days to rats at doses of 4...

INTRODUCTION The larvicidal activity of Solanum lycocarpum against Culex quinquefasciatus is unknown. METHODS We evaluated the larvicidal activity of extracts of the green fruits of Solanum lycocarpum against third and fourth instar larvae of C. quinquefasciatus. RESULTS Dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions showed the greatest larvicidal effect at 200mg/L (83.3% and 86.7%, respective...
