The contamination levels of Toxocara spp. eggs in soil samples from a university campus in Mexico City were evaluated and analysed according to garden size, and were related with the percentage of Toxocara spp. eggs and its viability according to the soil characteristics. A total of 1458 soil samples collected in 15 gardens (six large and nine small) were analysed by sedimentation-flotation wit...

Specialization in plant host-symbiont-soil interactions may help mediate plant adaptation to edaphic stress. Our previous field study showed ecological evidence for host-symbiont specificity between serpentine and non-serpentine adapted ecotypes of Collinsia sparsiflora and arbuscular mycorrrhizal fungi (AMF). To test for adapted plant ecotype-AMF specificity between C. sparsiflora ecotypes and...

Soil organic carbon has been the most important soil quality measurement factors and has intense relation with soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Organic matter and its components are important factors of soil aggregates constitution and stability and play significant role in its structure.So, this research has been done for achieving this purpose. This area is arounding sa...

This study was conducted at Abi – Jarash farm, Damascus, Syria, during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 growing seasons. The aim of this comparing the effect three different cultivation techniques saffron (Crocus sativus L.), which were soilless cultivation, within nutrient film technique (NFT), in substrates (mixture peat moss- perlite), addition to soil. An increasing vegetative growth measurements re...

Proteolytic fungi from the soil samples were isolated on Reese agar plate containing casein as the protein substrate. The mycoflora of different localities of Sagar and Jabalpur districts of Madhya Pradesh were investigated at three different locations viz. Garden, Crop field and Poultry farms. These samples were labeled according to the site of collection as GS (Garden Soil), CFS (Crop Field S...

The invasion of the macroalgae Rugulopteryx okamurae is causing several environmental and economic problems along Spanish Mediterranean coasts. use composts based on R. as a peat alternative in nursery production could be valid for exploitation this organic material. present study evaluated three different substitutes potting media to grow tomato seedlings: compost okamurae, green horticultural...

OBJECTIVE This study was intended to optimize perlite particle size and morphology for better tooth cleaning and lower tooth abrasion, and to evaluate the performance of a whitening toothpaste containing the optimized perlite abrasive for tooth cleaning, abrasion, and polishing. METHODS Perlite toothpaste abrasive samples were prepared by air classifying a commercial expanded perlite product....
