The effects of four concentrations (25, 50, 75, 100%) of spinach homogenate filtrate over a period of 96 hours on the body mass and transpiration rates of the pulmonate slug Milax rusticus, a crop pest found in Benghazi, Libya, are reported. A decrease in body mass and transpiration rate in filtrate treated slug over time was evident and the differences in these factors between control and trea...

the so-called phytoextraction in which hyperaccumulator plants are used to remediate the contaminated soils is proven to be an efficient method. the objective of this study was to investigate the capability of spinach for phytoremediation of cadmium from cd-contaminated soils and determine the efficiency extent of spinach for phytoremediation. for this purpose, a randomized block experimental d...

Glycoglycerolipids are mostly found in plants, however the beneficial effects of the glycoglycerolipids on mammalian body have not been understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of glycolipid extracts from spinach, which highly contained glycoglycerolipids, on mucosal injury induced by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in rats. Preadministration of glycolipid extracts from spinach (20 mg/kg bo...

The increasing use of nanofertilizers in modern agriculture and their impact on crop yield pest management require further research. In this study, the effects nano-Fe, -Zn, -Cu (which are synthesized based nanochelating technology), urea (N) fertilizers antioxidant activities wheat plants (cv. Chamran), green aphid Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) investigated. authors observed highest levels phe...

The performances of support vector machine (SVM) and linear discrimination analysis (LDA) for detecting pesticide on spinach leaf were investigated. Fluorescence images of spinach leaves without any treatment, treated with pure water and methamidophos solution were taken under 561 different wavelength conditions to acquire hyperspectral excitation-emission matrix (EEM) data. Then LDA and SVM we...
