Two "thermal dust" fungicides, Termil and Thiabendazole (TBZ), and a liquid, Tutane, were found to be promising in controlling Botrytis disease on cut flowers. They are not only effec tive; they leave no visible residues. Termil and TBZ dusts were more effective than Botran and captan sprays in protecting gladiolus cut flowers from infection. Tutane applied after initiation of infection was mor...

Performance of compression ignition engine is known to be spray characteristics related. Precise experimental information on fuel sprays is of utmost importance to model the fuel spray formation and its development in the engine combustion chamber. The previous experimental work of the present author on non-evaporating sprays produced by using a FIAT single-hole orifice type nozzle and a distri...

Intranasal steroid sprays are safe for long-term use, and there is little evidence to indicate they cause significant systemic side effects. However, patients with chronic rhinitis who might use them for long periods should be advised to use them only intermittently and at the lowest dose that controls their symptoms. Patients who regularly use steroid sprays should undergo examination of the n...

The effect of pre-harvest sprays of chitosan on post-harvest decay and quality of strawberries stored at 3 and 13°C was investigated. Strawberry plants were sprayed with 2, 4 and 6 g l, chitosan solutions as the fruit were turning red. A second spray was performed after 10 days. Fruit were picked 5 and 10 days after each spray. Harvested fruit from chitosan sprayed plants were challenged with B...

Effects of water-misting sprays with forced ventilation after transport during summer on meat quality, stress parameters, glycolytic potential and microstructures of muscle in broilers were investigated. A total of 105 mixed-sex Arbor Acres broilers were divided into three treatment groups: i) 45-min transport without rest (T group), ii) 45-min transport with 1-h rest (TR group), iii) 45-min tr...

BACKGROUND Effective treatment of seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis often requires use of topical intranasal corticosteroids (INSs). Despite differences in recommended starting dosages, the 4 leading INSs by market share are packaged in bottles containing 120 metered-dose sprays. OBJECTIVE To determine the relative prescribed dosages of the leading INSs and compare economic differences ...
