The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a quarantine pest for several fresh commodities, including corn-on-the-cob, bell peppers, and green beans. Methyl bromide fumigation is the usual phytosanitary treatment, but the fumigant is under increasing regulation as a stratospheric ozone-depleting substance. Ionizing radiation is a relatively new commercial ...

in order to investigate the effects of foliar application with plant growth promoters on morphological characteristics of maize (single-cross 704), an experiment with three replications and sixteen treatments conducted with priming and spraying of growth promoters (organser, mas-raiz, dulzee and control)  as factorial based on complete randomized block design. analysis of variance showed that t...

Corn cob hydrolysate was used as substrate for growth and lipid accumulation via oleaginous yeast species. A mass based suspension of 10 g 100 g corn cob hydrolysate contained 26.0 g L glucose, 8.5 g L xylose. The inhibitor concentrations were 0.16 g L acetic acid, 1.50 g L formic acid, 0.48 g L HMF and 0.06 g L furfural. These conditions reduced the cell growth of non-adapted yeast. Successful...

Usually, the corn cob is considered an agriculture waste. This natural and organic waste material may be used in the industry, in general, and in the building industry, in particular. The work presented in this paper was developed in order to give a contribution to the knowledge of this material, by attempting to describe and assess its macrostructure and microstructure, elementary chemical com...

Fire impacts many vegetated ecosystems across the world. The severity of a fire is major component in determining post-fire effects, including soil erosion, trace gas emissions, and the trajectory of recovery. In this study, we used imaging spectroscopy data combined with Multiple Endmember Spectral Mixture Analysis (MESMA), a form of spectral mixture analysis that accounts for endmember variab...

The research was carried out about the effect of adding corn cob ash on mortar's physical and mechanical properties. Mortar molded with three compositions, i.e., portland cement, ash, husk fiber. Corn burned at a temperature 700 for 2 hours. fiber mechanically sliced up to 0.8 mm in size. Then, mortar molding maintenance were processed 28 days. mortars that had reached age days tested according...

A new anti-corrosion compound, Melamine Formaldehyde (MF), was formulated by the addition of proper amount of formaldehyde to melamine under specific conditions. This compound was mixed with a novel nano powder, which was extracted from corn cob ash containing SiO2 particles, in order to improve its corrosion inhibition efficiency. This inhibitor provides a high level of protection f...

Xylan, a green biopolymer extracted from agro-waste corn cob may be used as a tool to deliver drugs principally to the colon because of their timely retention in the physiological environment of stomach and small intestine and can only be degraded in colon by vast anaerobic microflora such as Bifidobacterium. Present research work relates to incorporate the drug molecule such as 5-aminosalicyli...
