The rate of predation by stage IV instar Toxorhynchites splendens larvae on the equivalent instar stage larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus and Armigeres subalbatus, co-occurring in sewage drains, were noted for a period of three consecutive days in the laboratory using different prey densities and combinations. The rate of predation varied by age of the predator, density of prey, and prey type. T...

Five strains of Trichoderma with known biocontrol activities were assessed for their effect upon pea growth and their antagonistic activity against large Pythium ultimum inocula. The effect of Trichoderma inocula upon the indigenous soil microflora and soil enzyme activities in the presence and absence of Pythium is assessed. In the absence of Pythium, Trichoderma strain N47 significantly incre...

Premenstrual syndrome is a common chronic disorder in most women of reproductive age. The main symptoms are depression, anxiety, tension, feeling out of control, and mastalgia. In premenstrual syndrome, the effects of aromatic edible Elsholtzia splendens and Cirsium japonicum were investigated for over 3 months in 30 women participants in their twenties. In the Elsholtzia splendens capsule trea...

This experiment aims at establishing the ability of the endomycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices to suppress the plant pathogen Pythium ultimum in cherry tomato. A study published in Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology in 1994 showed that Glomus intraradices suppresses Pythium ultimum in Tagetes patula (french marigold) (St-Arnaud, Fortin, Caron, & Hamel, 1994). Pythium ultimum and other Pyth...

The growth of Achnatherum splendens (A. splendens) inhibits the dominant grassland herbaceous species, resulting in a loss biomass and worsening ecological environment. Therefore, it is crucial to identify dynamic development A. adequately. This study intended offer transformer-based detection model named YOLO-Sp through ground-based visible spectrum proximal sensing images. achieved 98.4% 95.4...

A description is given of Pythium litorale sp. nov., a new species from reed stands in Germany. Pythium litorale was among the most abundant species when the oomycete community of littoral soils of Lake Constance was studied. It was consistently isolated from flooded as well as from drier reed sites. The species is characterized by subglobose, papillate and internally proliferating sporangia, g...

Whereas many reports now exist on flavonoids of liverworts only few publications are concerned with the flavonoid pattern of mosses [1—5]. The detection of an apigenin 7-O-rhamnoglucoside from H yloco­ mium splendens was reported [6]. Screening chroma­ tograms of samples of H. splendens collected at about 20 different localities showed however a much richer flavonoid pattern as supposed previou...

Pot and field experiments were conducted to evaluate bioavailability of Cu in contaminated paddy soil (PS) and phytoremediation potential by Elsholtzia splendens as affected by soil amendments. The results from pot experiment showed that organic manure (M) applied to the PS not only remarkably raised the H2O exchangeable Cu, which were mainly due to the increased exchangeable and organic fracti...
