Musca domestica found in every habitation causing nuisance, diseases which results in public health problems. Conventional methods used for fly control caused several problems such as pest resistance, effects on non-target organisms, pest resurgence etc. To overcome these difficulties, it is important to search for new ecofriendly alternatives. In present work an effort has been taken to solve ...

An ecofriendly alternative to chemical pesticides is biopesticides, which encompasses a broad array of microbial pesticides, biochemicals derived from micro-organisms and other natural sources, and processes involving the genetic incorporation of DNA into agricultural commodities that confer protection against pest damage. Biopesticides fall into three major classes. The potential benefits to a...

Bacillus thuringiensis is widely used in producing ecofriendly microbial agents for the purpose of controlling insect pests. In this study, we determined the complete genome sequence of B. thuringiensis subsp. jinghongiensis reference strain YGd22-03, which contains three cry genes and one cerecidin biosynthetic gene cluster.

Biofouling of experimental cages and other field apparatuses can be problematic for scientists and has traditionally been addressed using frequent manual removal (e.g., scraping, scrubbing). Recent environmental restrictions and legislative changes have driven the development of less hazardous antifouling products, making antifouling paint a potential alternative option to manual removal. Conse...

nowadays, green chemistry and its advantages are generating interest of researchers toward ecofriendly biosynthesis of the metallic nanoparticles. in this research, a rapid, simple and green method was developed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous extract of prangos ferulaceae leaves. the synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by uv-vis spectroscopy, scanning el...

The IIT Mumbai recently held a tech fest. It was an extraordinary opportunity for engineering students from around the country to participate in diverse competitions like making robots, harnessing renewable sources of energy, designing ecofriendly houses, building boats that run on solar power and making machines out of junkyard scrap. Most good engineering institutes have this kind of technica...

The new 3,5-(substituted) pyrazoles and isoxazoles were prepared by reaction of (N'(1)E, N'(3)E)- N'(1), N'(3)-bis (3,4,5-substitutedbenzylidene)malonohydrazide with hydrazine hydrate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride respectively under solvothermal conditions involving an ecofriendly method without any environmental pollution, the yield are in the range of 75-96%. The structure of the new compou...
