In order to determine the level of residual Dichlorvos pesticide on strawberry fruits in research greenhouse conditions in crop year of 2011-2012, a study was carried out in Education and Research Center for Greenhouse Productions of Islamic Azad University of Khorasgan of Isfahan. Factorial experiment was carried out based on a completely randomized design with two factors of pesticide consump...

salinity stress results to decreasing leaf area index (lai) and light absorption in plant leading in yield decrease. in order to study effect of salinity and iron sulphate on lai, absorbed light percentage and yield of sunflower (euroflor cultivar), an experiment was carried out as split plot based on complete randomized block design with four replications in the research field of university of...

in order to evaluation of rice stem borer's damage (chilo suppressalis walker), on rice ‎cultivars an experiment was carried out by two factors, (three cultivars and five spraying times), in ‎completed randomized block design an factorial sampling was conducted on the hills infested to ‎deadhearts (d.h), whiteheads (w.h) and yield loss. five hills were randomly selected from each plot ‎and...

gentamicin is a bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic, it inhibits the protein synthesis. gentamicin is active against the majority of aerobic gram-negative bacilli such as pseudomonas, klebsiella and escherichia coli. the gentamicin doses are 3 mg/kg once-daily for preterm newborns < 35 weeks of gestation and 4 mg/kg once-daily for newborns > 35 weeks of gestation. the monitoring of gentamici...

  Abstract An investigation was undertaken to ascertain the influence of hydro-alcoholic solutions on plant growth as well as quality attributes of strawberry fruits. The mother plants of strawberry (Fragaria ananasa cv. Gaviota) were subjected to various aqueous solutions of ethanol (15, 30%), methanol (15, 30%) and the mixture of ethanol + methanol (15 or 30%) plus the control (water only) as...

A group of legumes generically known as brooms are among the most successful shrubs invading grasslands in South America and other regions. These species share a set of biological features that enhance their invasiveness, such as abundant and long-lasting seed banks, aggressive root systems and rapid growth, combined with their ability for re-sprouting after cutting or burning and for avoiding ...

This paper exploits the variation in aerial spraying across time and space in Colombia and employs a panel of individual health records in order to study the causal effects of aerial spraying of herbicides (Glyphosate) on short-term health-related outcomes. Our results show that exposure to the herbicide used in aerial spraying campaigns increases the number of medical consultations related to ...

The effects of cold acclimation (CA) on the cardiorespiratory responses to cold air and water stress tests (CST) were studied in 7 males before and after a CA program of daily 90-min cold water (18 degrees C) immersions repeated 5 times a wk for 5 consecutive wk. The CST consisted of a 90-min resting exposure to cold air (5 degrees C, 30% relative humidity) or water (18 degrees C) during which ...
